Chapter 21 The Key Point (Ask for Collection~Ask for Recommendation~)

It was clearly written on the paper -

10 Strong Laborers, Crowk Mine, 1000.

5 maidens, Moon Mask, 2000.

6 children, Bottom Belt Reservoir Street, 100.

……

Just a few simple descriptions, but enough to make Jason guess quite a bit.

He took the paper and looked at Bundy.

At this moment, the sheriff was also holding a piece of paper in his hand, and his face was pale.

In fact, it's not just the sheriff.

The same is true of the five capable police detectives, and one short-tempered detective is even more scolding.

They didn't doubt it.

Because, their identity is enough for them to know something that ordinary people don't know.

For example: the girl in the Moon Mask.

"Sir, what Karina said earlier is true!"

The grumpy detective said at Bundy.

Karina?

The unfamiliar name made Jason look at Finch, who was following him.

"Karina, the girl who came to report the crime more than three months ago, said that she had been robbed of the 'Moon Mask', but then His Excellency Fledon's housekeeper came to report that the house had been stolen by the new maid Karina."

"After our investigation, Karina was indeed hired by Lord Folleton from the country."

"We took the case and the result was ......"

The young officer didn't say any more.

However, the results are naturally self-evident.

A country girl, a rich man.

What will happen, anyone can imagine.

"And after that?"

Jason continued.

"After that, the housekeeper took Karina with her—in accordance with the employment law."

"About a week later, the housekeeper came back to report that Karina was missing."

"We searched as best we could, but Lord was so big that it was a drop in the bucket, and after a week, we gave up, and as time passed, the girl was forgotten."

As he said this, self-reproach appeared on the young officer's face.

"Some people have been forgotten."

"Some people don't."

"And they'll choose to be remembered in other ways."

Thinking of something, Jason groaned slightly, he looked at Finch again, and asked, "The police officers who handled this case at that time should have included Punk, Kurtz, Jover, and Tár?" ”

"Yes!"

"Including them!"

"You mean ?!!"

The young officer replied, and then looked at Jason with wide eyes.

The young police officer, who is not a fool, has already guessed something.

"Revenge!"

"The immortal Karina or the one related to Karina is taking revenge."

"He chooses those who, in his opinion, are 'dead or saved' to Karina."

Jason said, turning and walking towards the bedroom door.

Bundy motioned to the detectives before following with Finch.

Although everyone was sure that the bedroom would also be carefully handled by the other party, and nothing would be left except what the other party wanted to show them, but this did not prevent Jason from carefully exploring it.

The bedroom was no longer empty, but a secret door on one side of the wall had been opened.

There's a light inside.

Jason probed carefully, then walked inside.

This is a staircase that goes down.

There are more than 100 steps, and according to the distance, it is deep underground.

At the end of the stairs was a door that was also open, and the back of the door was still brightly lit, allowing Jason to see the cages made of iron bars without difficulty.

In addition to the cages, there were wooden stakes for binding people, and torture instruments hanging on the walls.

In the charcoal brazier, which was still burning, soldering irons were inserted into it, and they had already been burned red.

There are no people here, though.

But looking at this scene, Jason could completely imagine what it would have been like here.

The abducted and plundered are huddled in their cages in fear, waiting for the verdict of their fate.

Those who dare to resist will be hung up or trapped on a stake, and will be punished, which will become the best raw material for killing chickens and monkeys.

Eventually, they will be sent to various industries with Freighton connections.

Some people simply resigned themselves to their fate.

Some people have not given up and have been silently waiting for the opportunity.

Jason believes Karina isn't the first.

But he was the first to accomplish what he wanted to do.

Jason's gaze stayed on the corner cage.

Unlike other cages, which were full of dust, the railings on the ground were new, and it was clear that people were still being held not long ago.

As for who is being held?

Jason couldn't think of anyone else but Flleyton.

"That fire was also created by you, in order to better impersonate him, and then, at the most appropriate time, give him a public execution!"

Jason muttered to himself, and more solemnity began to appear in his eyes.

There is no trace of a monster living here.

Obviously, the monsters aren't here.

This is just one of the pieces of evidence provided for a 'public execution'.

A piece of evidence rife with contradictions.

Jason hasn't forgotten the 'warning' of Fleiton's execution not long ago and the ambush that followed.

The contradiction between the two did not become clear as they thoroughly searched the entire Folleton Manor, but only became more and more contradictory.

It's like two people with different positions arguing.

"Wait!"

"Two people?"

Jason, who suddenly thought of something, stopped his rounds.

Who said that the Avengers were just a man?

Maybe one of them is someone related to Karina.

The other person who is obviously mysterious should be the person related to the other party.

Moreover, the relationship between the two sides is close!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to cooperate with an existence on the mysterious side, and make that existence on the mysterious side so 'tolerant and accommodating'.

You know, the paper in the study just now was enough to expose Karina.

And when Karina's identity is exposed, the other party's true identity is also very likely to be exposed.

"One is younger, and he is very principled."

"The other mysterious side of the existence is very old-fashioned, well-behaved, and leaves no future troubles."

"Master and apprentice?"

Jason guessed the identity of the Avengers.

As for the one who is related to Karina?

It's not hard to guess.

Blood relations or lovers are most likely!

The latter will be more likely.

Because, if there is a blood relationship, Karina cannot be a country girl who needs to go out to work.

You must know that with the weirdness and power of the mysterious side, it doesn't take too much, just a little bit, it is enough for people to live a rich and worry-free life.

Of course, these are just Jason's guesses.

The specific situation still needs to be investigated by Bundy and others later.

Turning around, Jason looked at Bundy, whose face was becoming more and more gloomy and angry, and was ready to tell the other party what he thought.

However, just as he was about to say something, Jason's face suddenly changed.

he

A crucial point is missing!
