Rivendell's cemetery, built on a hillside just outside the town, was jointly funded by several nearby towns to prevent the grave from being overrepaired, and it was here that the townspeople executed Mary two months earlier when her bones were found in her home. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Along the way, Watson reconfirmed Mary's crimes to Sergeant Burke, and received more detailed and comprehensive information.

First of all, before being executed, that is, when Mary was still alive, she did not show any special abilities, even if her tongue was cut out, nothing unusual happened, but one thing that needs to be mentioned here is that Mary did not let out even a single scream until the last moment when she was buried alive, and she had a strange look on her face throughout the whole process.

Secondly, Edward mentioned earlier that the victims were all children, which is not complete, and in general, Mary used not only children to make her dolls, but also some adults.

In the end, in the later investigation, it was confirmed that these people were people who had died in several nearby towns, which means that Mary did not kill people herself, but did the business of digging up graves, and whenever she saw people buried in the cemetery, and the other party was someone who matched her goals, then she would dig up their bodies and transport them back to her own home at the right opportunity to make dolls.

This also explains why Mary was not found guilty until a recent accident, if she had made a doll using the flesh of a living person, then there would have been no shortage of disappearances, but if it was a person who had already been buried, no accident would have been impossible to find.

Because even in this world, the deceased is considered to be great, and digging someone else's grave without a reasonable reason will be considered by the family of the deceased to be a great insult to the deceased and a provocation to them.

This led to the fact that when Mary's crimes were exposed, the townspeople would be furious and eventually punish her with such a heavy punishment.

Arriving at the bottom of the hillside where the cemetery was located, Watson could see that there was a place on the hill that was isolated by a conspicuous strip of yellow cloth, but there was no one guarding it, and it was supposed that such a place should always be watched by a few people, but when Watson looked at Sheriff Burke and wanted to ask, he noticed a gloomy look on his face.

It seems that Sheriff Burke did not send someone to guard it, but the person who guarded it may have had an accident, and this senseless death and injury made them really dare not send someone to stay there again.

Thinking of this, Watson naturally swallowed the words that had reached his lips, but set his eyes on that place, this is a cemetery so he can't ride a horse to go up, and a few people dismounted at the bottom of the hillside.

"I went up with my assistant to take a look...... Before that, I must remind you two that if there is any accident at that time, you must not stay for a long time, my assistant and I have our own means to protect our own safety, but we cannot guarantee your safety 100%, so when I let you leave, you must not hesitate!"

Standing in front of Jaime and Sheriff Burke, who were about to walk up, Watson felt the need to remind them that he had nothing to do with Viola if something really happened, and instead put the two of them in it.

The two of them thought about it and didn't object, and Watson didn't say anything more, and Sheriff Burke led the way directly to the place where Mary was buried alive on the hillside, but he didn't expect the accident to happen, not that there was any tricky enemy, but the target of several people this time------ Mary's body was gone!

The original grave had been rudely excavated, brown earth was scattered all over the ground, and Mary's body was nowhere to be found.

"How so...... Yesterday my men reported to me before they left that nothing was going on here. ”

Half-crouching on the ground, Burke said with some anxiety.

Watson stood beside the pit and frowned and looked at what he was thinking, but by the sunlight he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something in the pit, patted the dumpling in his arms, and it immediately jumped off the pit, and after a while it came up with a glass bottle.

"This ......"

Watson looked at the familiar thing in his hand, and was a little speechless for a while.

That's right, like the glass bottle found in the back garden of Winston University before, it was also found in the pit where Mary was buried alive, and the liquid inside was still gone, presumably drunk by Mary.

"What is this? Your Excellency's expression seems to be familiar with this, have you seen it before?"

As a sheriff, Burke's ability to read words and expressions is still good, and after seeing the expression on Watson's face, he immediately understands that he must have seen this thing before.

"I've gotten the same empty bottle in a previous mission, and that time the target was a ghost...... There shouldn't be any clues here, let's go to Mary's house, and if I'm right, something must have happened there. ”

These things obviously happened last night, and things have gone in an unknown direction since the appearance of this glass bottle, and Watson's target is no longer Mary's murderous spirit, but also the person or organization that provided her with the potion in this glass bottle......

And Watson was sure that there were outsiders somewhere in Rivendell who were keeping an eye on the matter, and it was impossible to say who had taken the body from this grave.

It is possible that Mary sent her own puppet to bring her body back to facilitate the lodging [the most suitable place for the evil spirit to lodge is her original body, so at first Watson's inference was that Mary retrieved her body as a place for her soul to stay].

It is also possible that the unknown people who had given her potion had taken Mary's body, not wanting Watson to reveal themselves by discovering some of the clues on it.

In any case, Watson now intends to find the location of Mary's murderous spirit, and if nothing else, it should never have left its home, just like the ghosts that have drunk the potion and appeared in Winston, they are likely to be confined by the potion...... Left where those people want them to stay.

Watson, who was riding on his horse and marching towards Mary's house, had a heavy look on his face, and he noticed that things seemed to be out of his control, and he suddenly felt that he had to be more prepared for the battle that followed!
