Chapter 78: Money and Power (8/24)
"Donald, return the Bone Spirit Disc to you. ”
On the way, Stephanie prepares to return the Bone Spirit Disk, which takes it and injects all the energy that has just been absorbed from the Siphon Bone Ring into the Sonic Toad and the Dragonhead Mole.
They had suffered a lot of damage from the last battle at Lake Sear, but this time they were able to collect some energy.
After replenishing it, I handed it back again.
"You take it, this time the incident is not over yet, I estimate that there will be a battle, as long as the bone spirit disk is within a certain range around me, I can use it directly, so it is the same for you or me...... When you arrive, a rich man is a rich man, and this house is the best in Red Cliff Town, right?"
Mr. Dale's house is not difficult to find, the area of Red Cliff Town is not large, and this kind of villa is basically recognizable at a glance.
Of course, it's only on the boundaries of Red Cliff Town.
Stephanie looked at the lights in the room and could faintly hear the cry coming out.
Knock on the door directly.
"Hello, we are investigators from the Dmingham government, and this is the document, and I have some questions for you to verify due to the special events that are taking place in the town. ”
The bureau's credentials had been handed out before they left on their mission, and Donald glanced at the waiter who opened the door, and without waiting for him to report it, strode through the door.
On a table in the hall, Mr. Dalle's headless body was placed on the table.
Not just him, but a female corpse.
Next to the body was a group of men and women, who were supposed to be relatives in the family.
"Who are you? Outsiders are not welcome in our house right now!"
A young man saw a stranger enter the door and was about to kick them out.
"I'm a Demingham government investigator, and I'm sorry to bother at this time, but for the safety of Red Cliffs, please forgive me for being rude, I have a few questions I would like to ask for. ”
Donald restated his identity and showed his ID.
"I said that outsiders are not welcome, please go out, now, immediately!"
The young man's face turned red and his anger overflowed.
"So I said too, pardon my rudeness. ”
With a wave of his hand, the young man retreated under the control of Donald's mental power, staggering and falling to the ground.
There was silence in the neighborhood, where there was a bit of a noisy crowd.
"I have reason to suspect that Mr. Dalle has something to do with the disappearance of the girl two years ago, and he was the subject of my questioning, but he is dead, so I decided to ask you, rest assured, just a simple question. ”
Donald cleared his throat and explained directly what he meant.
"This is simply ridiculous, the case from two years ago, I came to ask today, or when the master just died, this kind of behavior is shameful, I want to call the police!"
There are still people who express dissatisfaction with Donald's approach, and indeed, when the man came to the door when he just died, he was somewhat suspected of provoking trouble.
"I'm sorry, but sheriff is busy...... Can we speed things up? Stephanie. ”
Donald didn't bother to talk to these people about the relationship, and called out Stephanie, her talent always works wonders at times like these.
"Can you tell me who killed your father?"
Picking up her long hair and smiling, the young man sitting on the ground forgot who her name was, ordinary people couldn't resist her talent at all!
"I didn't see it, but the butler said it was a tall man in a gray robe. ”
The killer confirmed that he was the one who was lying on the floor of the police station.
"Ba Jin, how can you answer their questions. ”
The woman next to her was amazed at how obedient the young man was to these two impudent men.
"Ma'am, wait until I ask you, okay?"
Donald raised his hand, and the invisible slave pressed her directly to the chair, and then covered her mouth, but it didn't hurt anyone,
"When the girl disappeared two years ago, Mr. Daller and Mr. Sheriff did a bad thing, you know?"
Faced with this question, the young man was at a loss.
Donald's gaze was not on the young man, but on the first time Stephanie asked the question, he swept over everyone present, and then locked on an old butler with gray hair.
This is not a single question.
"This gentleman, may I ask your identity ......?"
Donald asked, walking up to him.
"I am Mr. Dalle's personal butler. ”
"Looks like you know the answer to that question, right? My friend and I are very busy, and we've been running around for half a night for the town of Red Cliffs, and right now...... It's 1 a.m., and I want to go back and rest for a while, what do you think?"
Donald took out his pocket watch and looked at it, he did need a certain amount of time to recover his mental strength.
"Sorry, I don't know. ”
The steward never thought of betraying his master.
Such an answer is clearly not what Donald wants.
"Stephanie, can you do it?"
Donald sometimes thinks that Stephanie's talent is actually quite good, and although it is difficult to use in combat, it is quite practical when investigating crimes, and her charm is easier than any cruel means of coercing confessions.
"No problem. ”
After several successful seductions, Stephanie gradually gained self-confidence, got up from the young man, stepped on ordinary leather boots, and walked forward with slender legs staggered.
In front of the butler, he bent over lightly and winked charmingly.
Will the housekeeper have more self-control than Pence?
The answer is no.
"Two years ago, the old man once pursued a girl, and his method was a bit extreme...... Later, I saw that the lord and the sheriff were often discussing things together. ”
"Who was that girl, her background, her name, what happened at that time. ”
Donald asked, and Stephanie repeated the question.
The faces of the people next to him changed.
"Lilo Turner, the daughter of a widow who lives alone in town, and I was once commissioned by my lord to take a secret picture of her...... Other than that, I don't know...... Later, the girl went missing, reportedly attacked by monsters outside the town. ”
There was a struggle on the butler's face, he was avoiding the question, but he couldn't escape Stephanie's grasp.
Lilo Turner...... Donald, that empty coffin in the cemetery, the name on the tombstone, Lilo Turner!"
"Got it, may I ask if any of you know this mask. ”
Donald pulls out the mask that has been peeled off the head of the plutocrat.
"That's Grandpa's mask!"
A girl gave an answer, and her father hurriedly covered her mouth and took her into his arms.
"So many adults, in the end it's not as honest as a little girl, huh, Stephanie, let's go. ”
With a cold snort, Donald put away his mask and left the residence.
Lilo Turner's death is absolutely inseparable from the sheriff and the rich man!
Someone once saw a suspicious figure wearing a mask during the disappearance of a young girl, could the sheriff and the rich man be the murderers of the disappearance of the young girl back then?
According to the deputy sheriff, neither the body nor the killer of the victim of the girl's disappearance was found, and it was eventually determined that it was an undead attack.
The butler said that at that time, it was judged that Lilo Turner was attacked by a monster, and the monster he was talking about was most likely the undead who were found by the police department to be a scapegoat.
Since the coffin existed and there were signs of it being moved, it proved that Lilo Turner's body was probably the only one that had been recovered in the mouth of the deputy sheriff.
So the question is, why was her body recovered, and the coffin lid was engraved with a negative energy circle?
Back at the police station, Boglo and Pence seemed to be back sooner than they had returned.
"The sheriff and his wife were all killed, the sheriff and his wife had no children, and no clues were found in their home, and we couldn't find any useful information, so we returned early. ”
Boglo said, taking a sip of his coffee.
Donald shared the information he had gotten with them.
"I think Suzanne is right, that is, the two of them committed a crime, one of them has power, the other has money, they united to commit a crime against the girl, and then they blamed all their crimes on the undead, and now they are being sought for revenge, and they deserve it. ”
After listening to this, Pence slapped it on the table, almost shaking off some documents and debris next to him, but Stephanie reached out to help him stabilize it.
"These two people ..... a damn deal"
The fingers pinching the coffee cup tightened, and Boglo's mood was also wrong.
This caught Donald's attention, and such obvious emotional exposure was not like Boglo's style.
The previous information about the heavy casualties in the town didn't make him frown!
"It's still that question, if it's revenge, killing people is, why slaughter the townspeople, collect soul energy, and now add corpse theft...... I can only wait for the results of the investigation by the deputy sergeant and the captain. ”
Donald rubbed Finger's belly, closed his eyes and whispered, not knowing whether he was telling it to the three people next to him or to himself.
The third wave came back with Horn and Susanna, who questioned all the police officers involved in the case that year, and made them open their mouths without reservation on the orders of the deputy sheriff.
It's already 3 a.m.
Donald told them what he had found as he took Susanna's notebook and flipped through the transcript.
"There are strange things about this case, first of all, the time of disappearance, the first girl's disappearance time was March 2, followed by April 5, April 8, April 15, April 20, followed by the recovery of the body after the disappearance, only the first body was found, the time was on March 28, it was not found by accident, but some townspeople saw the girl's mother carrying her home, and finally, a police officer said that he had seen the devil's cage in the girl's family's residence...... I think the girl's mother is not an ordinary person!"
While taking notes, Horn Shelley kept thinking and quickly found a few key points, and he once again showed what he could do as a captain.
"The first girl, that is, Lilo Turner, according to the current information, it is very likely that the sheriff and the rich man committed the crime, but the next four victims, whether it is the time of disappearance, the result of the recovery of the body, is different from the first body, if the truth of the matter is that the sheriff and the rich man got pleasure from the first victim, and after a short pause, they went crazy and continued to commit crimes, then will their methods show two different results in a short period of time?"
Donald closed his note, the answer in his mind.
There are more than two murderers!
