"Selm Hawley."
"Do you have any relatives still alive?"
"Well, yes, yes, but ......"
"Don't stumble! Speak up! ”
"But I don't think she's my family anymore."
"Oh? Why? ”
"That ruthless woman just abandoned me when I was in the most difficult time! If she's willing to help me, how can I be caught by you? It's all because of her! ”
"Oh? Who is that woman? ”
"That woman used to be my sister, and her name was Alyssa Hawley."
"She's right at Bach Manor?"
"Huh? How do you know? ”
"Do you have the right to doubt? Don't forget who you are! All you need to answer is yes! Or not! ”
"Yes."
"She's the wife of the housekeeper there, right?"
"Yes."
"And when did you go to seek your sister's help?"
"About twenty days ago."
"Twenty days ago?"
"Yes."
"What did she say then?"
"She kicked me out, completely ignoring the feelings of my sister and brother, and she threatened me that if I went to her again, she would report me directly to the detectives."
"And then? Where did you go after she rejected you? ”
"Where am I so good at fooling around, I went to Bach Manor that night, and I told her that if I couldn't live any longer, I would kill her and her husband!"
"Go on."
"Then she gave me all the money she had saved all these years, and she begged me not to go to her again, telling me to hide in the depths of the moor, and to find a shepherd's son to deliver food and necessities, and to hide for a while, and when the rumors had passed she would find me a smuggling boat to North America, and then we would go our separate ways, and no one would see anyone."
"You promised?"
"Of course I agreed, but I didn't expect that slut to want to plot against me!" Selm said bitterly, "That slut, she actually wanted to kill me!" I will never spare her! ”
"Huh? What's going on? How did she threaten your life? Luo Hanya's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new world, and he looked at Selm eagerly, urging him to continue.
"That day she recommended me a stone house deep in the moor, and I didn't think much about it at the time, so I went with confidence, and it turned out to be ......" Selm seemed to think of something terrible, and he said with a trembling voice: "That night, it was stormy outside, and from time to time there were one or two damned crows whoa-wah-wah, and I couldn't sleep in the stone house......"
"I was staring and thinking about some of the things that had been merry in the past, when suddenly there was a sound of rushing water outside......"
"The sound of rushing water?"
"That's right! It was as if something huge had swam through the wind and rain in the moor, and I was curious, and because the sound had disturbed my interest, I walked out to see what it was......"
"What's that?"
"That's a horrible monster!"
"Monsters? What does it look like? ”
"Nope! It must be a devil from hell! It must be a devil from hell! Selm looked extremely agitated and screamed in horror.
"Calm me down! Tell me what it looks like! Luo Hanya held Selm down and yelled at him.
"It's, it's terrifying, it has a huge mouth, it's covered in cracked scales, its yellow eyes are unusually bright in the dark, and its brown pupils are bloodthirsty. It rushed straight in the direction I was standing, as if trying to tear me to pieces......"
"And how did you survive?"
"I just ran, ran, ran crazy in the swamp, and I was lucky not to step into those terrible swamps, and then I don't know how far I ran, anyway, I turned around again and the terrible devil was gone......"
"How can you be sure that thing was sent by your sister?"
"Humph! It couldn't be more obvious! She personally chose a place for me to be buried! That must have been a great gift for her! She has always looked down on me, thinking that I shouldn't have come to this world, if I hadn't been caught by you, I would definitely have killed that **** with my own hands in a while! Smash her body into a hundred pieces! Selm screamed feverishly, completely insane.
"I'm afraid that your wish will not come true, and you have tied him up! Give it to the detectives who are squatting near the moor early tomorrow morning, and give them a credit! ”
"You can't do that! You can't do this! I haven't killed that slut yet! You remember it for me! If I hadn't been hanged, I'd have killed you all when I came back!" All cut into 100 pieces of minced meat! ”
…………
"Did you get something out of what that pervert said??" Sir Henry collapsed himself on the sofa, with a pipe in his mouth, and smoked a tobacco leaf.
"It's a reward, at least knowing that Remo's wife is one of the people involved in this murder."
"Then let's go back and arrest her immediately!"
"Sir Sir you are a man of natural impatience, and your instincts always make you want to do something with pleasure. Come to think of it, let's say we're going to arrest her tonight, but what's the point? We can't prove anything bad for her. She and her accomplices use the same cunning methods as the devil, which cannot be solved by the heat of the moment. ”
"Haven't you already come to a conclusion?"
"But there's not even a shadow of evidence -- our evidence is nothing more than speculation and conjecture. If all we have is a story told by a murderer and this kind of 'evidence', then we will immediately be laughed out of the courtroom by that group of criminals. ”
"Isn't the death of my uncle evidence of this? They must have been scared to death by that horrible monster by that group of criminals! ”
"They died without a scar, though you and I know that he was completely scared to death, and we know what scared him to death. But how can we convince the twelve jurors of the court to believe this? Where are the traces of the monster? And how do we prove that the monster has something to do with them? We have to prove all these things, but we can't do it now. ”
"So, just let those criminals go unpunished?" Jazz slammed his pipe on the table in a fit of rage.
"They didn't bounce for long, and we haven't reached a complete and reasonable conclusion about the whole case yet, and once we come to a final conclusion, it will be when they are thrown into prison." (To be continued.) )
