Chapter 15: The Man Who Was Burned at the Stake (Ask for Recommendation~Ask for Collection~)

Flame!

Flames rise into the sky!

Smoke billowing endlessly!

On the side of the road, in a clearing not far ahead, on a burning pyre, a bound figure was struggling violently in the flames, and the wail came from the mouth of the other.

It's just that the sound is fading away at a rapid pace.

The next moment, there was no sound.

All that remained was the crackling of flames and firewood as they collided with grease.

"Stop!"

Hall's loud cry woke the bewildered coachman, who pulled the reins and stopped the carriage firmly, and before the carriage could stop, Jason and Hall jumped out of the carriage.

At the same time, the MF92 pistol appeared in Jason's hands.

There is no doubt that this is a homicide.

The bushes that had been deliberately cleared, the firewood, and the people who were bound were all telling Jason all this.

And the murderer who created this homicide is likely to be nearby!

Without Jason's reminder, Detective Hall pulled out his revolver and looked around vigilantly as he walked forward.

But until the two of them walked up to the man who had already been burned to death, nothing happened.

The killer was neither seen nor in any danger.

As a police detective, Hall kicked away the burning firewood and then shouted at the driver, "Do you have any shovels or other tools?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The coachman stammered in reply, and unlocked the toolbox from under the driver's seat, which contained shovels and wrenches with short handles, and other tools prepared for accidents such as damage to the carriage and obstacles.

The coachman picked up one of the shovels and staggered over, falling in the process.

Obviously, the other party was frightened by the scene in front of him and could no longer maintain the role of a luxury businessman.

In fact, needless to say, these people who have just been hired and have not yet integrated into the upper class, even those who are really upper-class people will definitely not be able to keep their composure when they see the scene in front of them.

After handing over the shovel to Hall, the coachman in front of him didn't mean to help, and as soon as he turned around, he ran to the side of the road, bent over and vomited.

At this time, the other party had already forgotten his identity.

If you can, you really want to get out of here right away.

Jason glanced at the vomiting coachman and ignored it, and he didn't pay attention to Hall, who was putting out the fire, and he looked around with a frown.

The scene in front of me is so strange!

The road on the outskirts of the city where they are located is straight, there are no forks, and the road is full of bushes and woods on both sides, according to common sense, since the other party can have time to clear a clearing, then why don't the other party go deeper and choose a more hidden, unknown place? Instead, you chose the side of the suburban road that is easily exposed?

Or why not do it any other way?

Do you have to use the most cruel and conspicuous method of 'burning at the stake'?

And it happened to be as we passed by!

To show off?

Jason, who thought of something, frowned more and more, and he walked quickly to the coachman who was still vomiting.

"Hello, are there many people passing by on this road?"

Jason asked softly.

"Not much."

"Because this is the only way to Folleton Manor."

"If I hadn't visited the manor, I wouldn't have left here at all, but the owner has already turned away most of the guests, especially after expelling some of his former friends, and no one has come here anymore."

The coachman, who encountered such a tragic corpse for the first time, didn't dare to hide it at all, wiped his mouth, answered Jason's question in fear, and even said something that he should never say as a servant.

"Well, thank you."

Jason nodded, he already had some guesses in his mind.

The other party's arrangement is likely to be aimed at them.

According to Detective Hall, Folleton is isolated and basically no one will come to visit.

And just now Fledon has been kidnapped again!

So, the only people who pass by here are probably police detectives.

After a lot of painstaking efforts, the other party just wanted the detective to see this scene in front of him!

As for why?

Almost subconsciously, Jason thought that the kidnapped billionaire Folleton had also suffered a fire.

Revenge?

Jason, who was thinking, subconsciously walked to the edge of the clearing.

The shrubs and trees that had been cut down before were neatly piled up here, with neat fractures, whether they were shrubs with small branches or trunks the thickness of sea bowls.

Jason crouched there, scrutinizing the remaining marks on the broken trunk.

On each tree trunk, the axe falls on the left side, and the opponent's dominant hand is the left hand.

Basically, in two or three strokes, the opponent can cut down a tree, and obviously, the opponent is very strong.

Judging from the height of the remaining stump, although the other party is strong, his body is not tall, and he should be similar to ordinary people.

Jason, who had come to these conclusions, turned around and continued walking along the edge of the clearing.

He hoped to find traces such as footprints, but found nothing.

After searching again and making sure there were no clues, Jason walked towards Hall.

By this time, the fire had been extinguished, revealing the charred and unrecognizable corpses inside.

Detective Hall crouched in front of the corpse with a frown, trying to find some clues from the corpse, but even the most experienced detective could not do anything in the face of a corpse that had been burned to this extent.

"Damn it!"

"How could such a thing happen!"

Hall is angry at the murderer's ferocity and thinks about how to solve it.

If you want to find the murderer of the murder, you naturally have to start with the charred corpse in front of you, according to his experience, as long as the identity of the corpse is checked, this murder case is equivalent to half of the murder.

And this requires a lot of manpower!

However, at the moment, Sheriff Bundy is leading most of the people to find the whereabouts of those 'monsters', and it is too difficult for the rest of the people to complete the investigation.

Hall happened to see Jason walking over, and thinking of Jason's appearance on the scene just now, the detective couldn't help asking:

"Excellency Jason, have you found anything?"

"Is Folleton left-handed?"

"Taller than a normal person, but strong?"

Jason didn't answer directly, but asked Hale rhetorically.

"Yes."

Detective Hall nodded, and then, the detective subconsciously looked at the felled trees in the distance, and then looked at the charred corpse at his feet, he was not stupid, and the well-run detective quickly thought of something.

"You mean ......"

Hall asked tentatively.

"Just like you think."

"That's what everything on the scene told me."

"It's just a little bit that I can't figure it out."

As he spoke, Jason frowned again.

Hall hurriedly asked:

"Which point?"
