Marianne hid in the corner of the operator's room, her hands folded, shivering, tears running down her already wrinkled cheeks and wetting the front of her clothes.

Just now, she returned to reality from her past memories in a trance, and she still felt a sticky feeling in her hands, as if she had helped take over a bloody mess of internal organs from her aunt's hands.

Yes, when she was a little girl, she not only watched the whole process of making a puppet, but was even forced to help.

So when she saw that Henry, the only thing she had relied on for decades, was also used as a ready-made part to make puppets, Marianne was completely devastated.

She let go of her mouth and cried loudly with all her strength, venting her sadness and despair.

No one could have imagined that such a loud sound could burst out from this old and sick body.

Henry is dead, and she doesn't want to live either.

But Mary. Xiao looked at her closely, his eyes calm, just smiling.

After a long time, the crying became quieter.

The courage to let go of everything did not succeed, and while the qi was exhausted, fear began to crawl all over the body like ants.

Marie. Xiao wouldn't kill her, but she didn't dare to stay next to Henry's corpse any longer, so she turned back and cowardly fled. The moment she turned, she saw Henry's right hand raise again and wave at her.

……

Edward bought two doughnuts at a roadside shop and graciously gave one to Jamie.

Jamie took it silently, held it in his hand and didn't want to eat it.

The two soon arrived at the house of God, and Edward rang the doorbell.

After a long time, Henry came to open the door tremblingly in his nightgown, and was not particularly surprised to see the two of them, and went directly into the reception room next to the coffin exhibition hall.

Edward shoved the last bite of the doughnut into the air and sucked his finger as he said, "Henry, we will simply ask two more questions this time, and we won't delay you for too long." ”

"I may have had a cool breeze today, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I got home, so I took a nap just now." Henry hoarsely explained the reason why he didn't open the door for half a day just now, and said very cooperatively, "Whatever you want to ask, just ask." ”

"Well, what you said yesterday about Marie. Xiao's story, how to say it, is very shocking. But when I later visited the rest of the town, they insisted that Mary . . . Xiao died of natural causes, why is that? Edward still looked like a child, but he was secretly noticing every change in Henry's expression.

Henry shrugged his shoulders and said as a matter of course: "If you ask them, of course, you can only get such a result." Because in addition to that nursery rhyme, there is also a Mary in the town. Another word from Shaw. ”

"What?"

"Those who want me to be quiet, those who don't want to be quiet, I will make them quiet forever." Henry's voice was neither high nor low, as if it were just an emotionless paraphrase.

Jamie interjected with a frown: "In other words, not only did she have to kill all the people who participated in the persecution of her back then, but also those who discussed her casually?" ”

"Yes, I don't know who came out of this first, but in short, everyone who is still living in the town is convinced. So, if you ask them, you won't get any useful information. ”

"What about you? Why do you dare to name Marie? Xiao's story, isn't he afraid of curses? Edward asked rhetorically.

He found nothing to observe Henry, and Henry's expression did not change from beginning to end.

"Because my home belongs to Mary. Shaw's well-meaning part, Marie. Xiao's will was completed by my father, and he also helped when he was buried. In addition, my wife, you have seen, although sometimes confused, is also the reason why I dare to tell the truth. ”

I have to say, Marie. Xiao has a very accurate grasp of Henry's psychology, and these two reasons are indeed the biggest reliance on his daring to say and do.

It's just that he forgot that a real warrior has to dare to face the dripping blood.

"Your wife? She and Marie. What is the relationship between Xiao? Edward Fox asked.

"She's Mary. Shaw's distant relative, who has followed Mary since childhood. Xiao performed everywhere and finally came to the town to reside. When the incident happened, she was still a child, and after her aunt's tragic death, she saw her aunt's resentment create a series of blood, and her spirit was stimulated, leaving a hidden disease of madness. Henry said lightly, "After the tragedy of the house, the theater was forced to close because of these things, and poor Marianne had nowhere to go, so my father took her home. When I grew up, she and I got married. ”

"Where is your wife now? Can we ask her? ”

Henry was silent for a while before he said: "She was crazy again just now, and now she can't communicate normally at all, and you asked in vain." ”

Edward's eyes lit up, he reached out and took the doughnut that Jamie had not eaten and took a bite, muttering, "It's okay, I'll just ask." ”

Henry led the two to the operation room and found Marianne, who was cowering in the corner like a stray dog.

"Marianne, this Officer Edward wants to ask you something, and you should try to cooperate." Henry leaned down and whispered softly beside Marianne's head.

After finishing speaking, he snorted softly as if he had inadvertently, softly and softly, just like a woman's coquettish hum.

Edward didn't notice, crouched down and asked, "Marianne, I heard that you and Marie. Xiao is a relative, can you tell me what you saw back then? ”

Marianne buried her head in the crook of her arm and muttered, "It's all dead...... All dead......"

"Don't be afraid, now you're safe." Edward whispered reassurance, "I just want to know if there are any other related figures still alive in your aunt's and later cases?" ”

The poor woman kept shaking and didn't respond at all.

After waiting for a long time, Edward had no choice but to get up, turned his head to look at Henry, and asked slowly: "One last question, all the puppets in the puppet cemetery, and Mary. Xiao's body disappeared for no apparent reason, do you know who is most likely to do so? ”

"You should visit Arsen's mansion." Henry's eyes did not shy away, and he said calmly, "Of all the people involved in the town, Mary. What Xiao hates the most is the person with the surname Arsen. ”

"Why?" Jamie asked anxiously.

Henry did not want to answer, but raised his hand and said, "Go back and ask your respectable father, and you will know why the surname Arson always smells of blood." ”

Marianne in the corner heard Arsen's words, and suddenly raised her head, her eyes unfocused.

"And an Arsen...... And one more ...... It's almost over......"
