Chapter 140: Selm and his sister

"Mr. Han, what do you think?" Ruel Dunder shook his head unhappily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Did you know Selm was around here lately?" Luo Hanya said as he stared into Ruel Duntai's eyes.

"Yes, but what does he have to do with Sir Liverpool's death?"

Luo Hanya didn't answer, and continued to ask: "The detectives searched the vicinity, but they didn't find the slightest trace of him, there is no doubt that he is hiding in the swamp. Have you been in the swamp for so long and have not found a trace of this murderer? ”

"The swamp is so vast, if Selm finds a corner in this swamp and burrows into it, no one will be able to find him, and besides, so many jailers have searched around the swamp and have not found him, how can I possibly find him?" Lul Duntai pursed his lips and glanced at Luo Hanya with contempt, perhaps he thought that the detective in front of him was also an incompetent fellow, and would only ask some completely well-known facts.

"Oh? Is that so? Selm is also human, he also needs to eat and drink, he will never survive alone in the swamp. Luo Hanya pretended to sneer, looked at Ruhr Deng Tai with imperativeness, and said word by word: "And you! Mr. Ruhr! This is just the time to go deep into the swamp, and of course, you bring a fair amount of supplies. If I told the detective like that, do you think you would be ......?"

Ruel Deng Tai looked at Luo Hanya calmly, and replied disdainfully: "Mr. Han, do you only use these small methods? Can this also be called a detective? You think that's going to scare me? I have ample evidence to prove my innocence, and the supplies I have brought with me are just enough to meet my consumption, and these are all your speculations, so why should you report me? ”

Luo Hanya smiled and clapped his hands, "Sure enough, you are not as ordinary as you seem on the surface. I think you can help me a lot, for example - to find the so-called 'monster' in the curse - to break the curse. ”

"Are you tempting me?" Ruel Deng Tai frowned slightly, and looked at Luo Hanya with dissatisfaction, "You have insulted the dignity of a gentleman. ”

"I did test you, and I gained quite a bit." Luo Hanya squinted at Ruel Dengtai and said meaningfully.

"Humph!" Ruel Dunder snorted angrily and got up to leave.

"Mr. Ruhr, I'm looking forward to your performance."

At night, Remo stood hunched over the window, candle in hand, his pale, attentive face pressed against the windowpane, exactly as I had seen the night before.

But after a long time, nothing happened.

"Remo, you don't want to shield Selm, do you?" Luo Hanya was close to Remo, controlling his every move.

"How so? I swear to God......" The intensity of the panic was so uneasy that he could barely speak, and the figure kept beating as the candle in his hand kept shaking.

"Maybe it's not time yet, let's wait a little longer." Sir Henry sighed and stopped Luo Hanya's questioning.

"Sir......" Remo was like grasping at a life-saving straw, and kept kowtowing to Sir Henry.

"Tell you, Remo," said Sir Henry sternly, "that you are a clean man, and if you harbor that cruel murderer for the sake of your wife's little affair, you will be stained for the rest of your life." ”

Remo looked at us helplessly, as if he were a man in extreme fear and pain, and his hands were twisted together.

"There's no harm in me doing this, sir, I'm just trying to help my wife's poor brother, who can't do any more bad things, he can only hide in the swamp, like a mouse that never dares to appear in the sun......"

Mrs. Remo stood beside Remo, her face paler and more frightened than her husband's. If it weren't for the horrified look on her face, her huge body in a skirt and shawl might have looked ridiculous.

She fell to her knees beside Sir Henry with tears and kowtowed desperately, "Sir, sir! Please spare his life, it's all my doingβ€”it's all my business. It's entirely because of me, my husband is so upright, if it weren't for me, he would never have shielded my murderous brother. ”

"Alas...... Why wouldn't I want to let him go? But ......" Sir Henry stopped talking, as if hesitating.

"Sir, I know he's a murderer, but he's my brother! When he was young, we overindulged him, and did everything according to him, so that he thought that the world existed to make him happy, and therefore he should do whatever he wanted in this world. When he grew up, he ran into bad friends, and he became so bad that he broke my mother's heart and tarnished our family's reputation. ”

As a result of his repeated sinning, he sank deeper and deeper into the point where he would have been guillotined if it had not been for God's mercy. But come to me, sir! He will always be the curly-haired child that I have raised and frolicked with as an older sister. The reason why he dared to flee here, sir, was because he knew that I was staying here, and that I had to help him. ”

"One night he dragged his tired, hungry body here, ragged and frightened. The jailer chased after him, he couldn't cry at me, what else could I do? I had to bring him in, feed him, and take care of him. ”

"Later, my husband found out about him, sir, you know, my husband has always been an honest man, and he can't refuse my request. It all turned out because of me, my husband, who shielded my murderous brother. Then my brother decided that it would be safer for him to go to the moor than anywhere else before the rumors passed, so he went there and hid. ”

"Every other night, we put a light in front of the window to see if he was still there, and if there was an answer, my husband brought him some bread and meat. We want him to go every day, but as long as he's there, we can't ignore him. That's the whole truth, I'm an honest Christian, and you can see that if there's any sin in doing so, you can't blame my husband, but you should blame me, because he did it for me. Mr. Han, sir, I beg you, please spare my husband. ”

The woman's words sounded very sincere, as if because they were the truth in themselves?

Luo Hanya seemed to know this tenacious and respectable woman only now, he looked at Mrs. Remo carefully, and frowned suspiciously.
