Chapter 104: The Investigator's Extra: The First Night (Finale)

"If what is written in the diary is true, then can there be such a conjecture......

Nick said, "I noticed that you had the last map Caroline left for her aunt, and when we teamed up to try her out to redraw the map, she couldn't draw anything!" ”

"Time can change everything in a person...... That doesn't mean much! Chen Ang said.

"But in conjunction with this diary, it is written that there is a kind of witchcraft that can obtain immortal life, and only by sacrificing a living person can obtain all of his remaining life. Caroline suspects that she has become a sacrifice, and enough information is written in her diary that it mentions four generations of the house.

"They have a common trait: believing in witchcraft!" "Martin and Grace studied witchcraft with their servants, and their parents died mysteriously because they didn't believe in witchcraft. Madame Violet instilled Caroline with the idea of witchcraft, and Caroline began to transcribe witchcraft rituals in her diary. ”

"It means that they all started to believe in witchcraft and then fell victim to witchcraft!"

Nick looked into Chen Ang's eyes and said, "You've been hinting at me all this since you entered this room. You mentioned the source of the power of witchcraft, and I believe it is also a kind of power, right? If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not. ”

"When I mentioned the pair of black servants, I was deliberately more subjective. But you keep implying that the identities of the abuser and the abused are transformable, as long as it is seen who is more evil. You're implying that blacks are persecutors. That witchcraft ritual wasn't learning, it was about immortality. ”

"The black wizard took Martin and Grace's bodies, they let Martin's parents burn their children who were transferred to the black body, and later, perhaps in revenge, the wizard in Martin and Grace's body told the banker the truth and drove him crazy!"

"It was in this house that they began to look for an eternal body for themselves."

"Whether it's Violet and Bendefriochs, or Caroline and Luke's lawyers, they're all victims. They were tricked into coming here, implied to accept witchcraft, and then sacrificed. The reason why Ben wants to escape and ask Caroline for help is because he has been replaced, Ben's body is Lawyer Luke, and Lawyer Luke, who is now the owner of the house, has the black wizard in his body! ”

Chen Ang said: "All this is your conjecture, you don't have any evidence!" ”

Nick said, "No, I have! ”

He pressed his hand to the diary: "All the people in this house are in disguise, you disguise yourself as an insurance investigator, let me disguise yourself as a bailiff, but this statement is very clumsy, if you want to, you will not show so many flaws at all." I don't have a bailiff's ID, and you don't act like an insurance investigator! ”

Chen Ang said: "But I am indeed an insurance investigator!" Nick rolled his eyes at him.

"I understand your hint, so under our first layer of disguise, there is also a second layer of law enforcement officers who came to investigate the suspicious case of this house twenty years ago, maybe the FBI or something. The couple was convinced of this, and all our investigations and explorations were playing this role perfectly. ”

"And that couple, there are also three disguises, the first of them is Caroline and Luke, and then the second layer of the two suspects who pretended to be murdered for money, they showed enough flaws to lure us into the investigation, but this identity is actually a bait, against our second layer of camouflage law enforcement bait, they induce us to continue the investigation and uncover the truth of the third identity. We're going to be investigating, believing in witchcraft. ”

"Belief in witchcraft is a prerequisite for sacrifice!"

"So the core of this reasoning is that the wizard's motive is to sacrifice us, so he must have prompted us to be deceived into sacrificing ourselves, and then we happen to see a witchcraft ritual in our diary to protect ourselves. How can it be such a coincidence...... Unless the diary is the trap. ”

"They let us get the diary ourselves, and then gradually deduce the truth, then we will believe in witchcraft, and as they approach, we will have to believe in the witchcraft rituals in the diary and sacrifice ourselves."

"Because everyone will have a misunderstanding, we will believe the truth that we have personally investigated, and we will not suspect that there is a ghost in this diary, which is an important clue. So to prove my conjecture, it's easy to guess what this witchcraft ritual does, with your occult skills? ”

"If it's not a protective witchcraft, but a ritual to sacrifice oneself, then my reasoning isn't wrong!"

Nick also added: "You should have Caroline's previous notes in your hand, changed the soul, the handwriting is difficult not to be adapted, the body seized by witchcraft may inherit some writing habits, so that we can't distinguish Caroline's handwriting twenty years later, but this diary is twenty years ago, and a person's handwriting will not change so much in a short period of time." ”

Chen Ang took out a letter: "This is a letter from Caroline to her aunt!" ”

Nick was speechless: "She really has an aunt!" ”

Chen Ang smiled: "You guessed right, the handwriting on the diary is different from the inside of the letter, this diary is forged!" ”

Nick once again firmed up his judgment, but Chen Ang took a turn and said, "But there is one thing you said wrong! Although the witchcraft ritual in the diary is not a witchcraft to protect oneself, it is not the ritual of immortal witchcraft. I'm familiar with the soul-shifting witchcraft of voodoo. ”

Nick wasn't surprised: "I know I still have a lot of unexplained questions, and the most important thing that puzzles me is why you asked me to come here." I think you have something to show me! Secrets of Voodoo...... You think there's a secret that Voodoo is hiding here. ”

"This evidence can't disprove my speculation about what happened here before, but it can disprove the couple's motives for murdering us."

"Have you ever thought about it?" Chen Ang said: "In the face of our disguised identity law enforcers, every crime has a motive for murder. ”

"From the fact that this wizard couple has been hidden for nearly a hundred years and no one has found out, it can be seen that they are very cautious, never take action unless necessary, and every time they harm someone, it is for the core interests to continue their lives. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone unnoticed for so many years. Such people will not be tempted to find out that we are law enforcers...... Because this is something that is not necessary and increases the risk. Nick analyzed.

"There's no reason why they need evidence from law enforcers. They have no reason to give us evidence and then kill us, so that the law enforcement agencies behind us will not sit idly by and watch us disappear. They can't replace us, they can't assume our identity. Our identities are too complicated! ”

"I thought they wanted to change their bodies, and then take advantage of the convenience of our bodies to escape the United States and go to the backwoods of Haiti or Benin."

"You know why they're hurting us! What are they going to do with us! Nick said, "You know what this witchcraft does!" ”

"They must be in a hurry!" Nick said: "Although the diary is fake, what is written in the diary is true, and they will only hide it from us in key places. Caroline's mention of Madame Violet's displeasure with her accent, her special attention to the tattoos on her body, and the last black maid who absconded, all indicate one thing, that is, our two cunning criminals, when it comes to choosing their victims, are very unhurried, and they have the time and patience to choose and prepare slowly. ”

"But for us...... They're in too much of a hurry! Impatient! ”

"Enforcers are not a good target at any given time. There is a whole system behind the law enforcers. Unless you're stuck at a good time, stuck at a time when they have to take a risk, and we're eyeing them, making it impossible for them to find a partner, and they're short of time, there's something pressing them! Let them have to do something to us. ”

Nick recalls the dolls, and the mirrorCaroline mentions many anomalies in the mansion, but doesn't mention the dolls and mirrors, but in Nick and Chen's investigation, the most obvious thing is the variety of dolls here, as well as the vanishing mirrors. And the witch who took Caroline's body also reminded them to go to the attic in the mirror.

Either twenty years ago, there were no dolls in this house, and there were still mirrors.

Either the two wizards deliberately ignored these two keys when they were usurping the diary.

"We should go to the attic and have a look!" Nick said to Chen Ang.

Chen Ang shook his head: "In their arrangement, the attic is the last step, and the final sacrifice ceremony is in the attic. I'm sure that the sorcery material will be prepared for us there, and there are still answers to everything hidden there. So, it's best to go there again at the last moment of uncovering the truth and put together the final puzzle pieces of the truth. Now we should look for the other pieces of the puzzle in this house. ”

Nick said: "The doll is still a mirror!" ”

Nick thought that Chen Ang would choose a puppet, after all, the last seal of Voodoo was a voodoo puppet.

Nick believes that the secret of the voodoo puppet is hidden here.

But Chen Ang chose a mirror instead: "I believe that the puppets hide the secrets of those two wizards, but if you want to startle the snake, it is much more difficult to make so many puppets disappear than to have an extra mirror!" ”

Chen Ang and Nick removed a glass window and used the solution of silver compound that Chen Ang had prepared to perform a simple silver mirror reaction, and then Nick quickly sneaked next to the couple's bedroom and hung the mirror in the bathroom. When Nick came back, he rubbed his hands together and said, "There's really something wrong with the mirror!" ”

"As I held it, it got heavier and heavier. I feel like there's something in there...... I didn't dare to look in the mirror. I guess I will never see myself in the mirror! ”
