"No, no, sir, Jacques is really gone, I can't hear any sound of water being released, and there is no sound of water flowing." Martin held the oil lamp above his head and shone it to where Jacques had disappeared.

"It's okay, let him escape." Mir's mind was now all on the clues to the corpse, not wanting to be distracted: "I concluded that he must have come back to me." ”

"Martin, hurry up, shine the oil lamp on Ian's corpse first." Mill turned around and said, "Ian's body is a little decomposed. ”

Mir took a big step forward, then crouched down and ordered Martin to keep the oil lamp on Ian's corpse.

Ian's death was the same as before, except that his eyes, nostrils, and mouth were filled with moist dirt, and his appearance was more swollen than his previous waxy puffy form.

The vertical section of Ian's entire body, divided in half, with the front half divided by the swamp and the second half trapped in the swamp.

Mir took the oil lamp from Martin's hand, and gradually lowered his arm towards Ian's corpse, which was only a fraction of a second away from Ian's corpse.

Mir looked at Ian's corpse from head to toe over and over again, and there was not a single scar to speak of.

The only thing he knew for sure now was that Ian hadn't died the night before the murder, he was probably alive, just unconscious.

"Anything new? Sir. Martin said as he crouched down on the other side of Mir.

Mill shook his head and said, "No scars, no at all, it's unbelievable." ”

"Could it be that Ian was also buried alive and suffocated?" Martin asked.

"There's a good chance that's the case, but I wonder why the killer did this?" "The state of death after suffocation was not revealed, and the murderer buried Ian in this ghost place in order to cover up the real cause of death," Mill said. ”

"Yes, sir, just like Jacques." Martin analyzed: "I don't think Jacques is lucky, he is alive, which shows that the murderer deliberately did this to interfere with our investigation clues." ”

"No, Martin." Mir retorted, "My other opinion is, Jacques, is it possible that the murderer thought he was dead, but the murderer didn't expect us to appear here tonight, just seconds before Jacques suffocated to death." ”

"Since Jacques has run away, it means that he is very scared in his heart, afraid that the murderer will seek him." Mill continued.

Martin listened to Mill overturn his words, "I see, sir. ”

"If Jacques is really going to come to us, it shows that the killer didn't mean to." Martin continued.

"That's right, Martin." Mir was very satisfied: "The murderer's methods are indeed very clever in the absence of scars, and the murderer will use the structure of the soil to hide the real cause of the deceased's death. ”

"So that the police officers in the French district are so stupid that they can even believe that the real murderer of this murder is a ghost, and the murderer's level of demagogy is quite high." Mill had been wondering who was in contact with New Orleans and who knew more about the geological structure of New Orleans.

"Yes, sir, a few of us heard this from Governor Amos Stoddard." Martin said, "The ghost was clearly sent by the murderer to interfere with us, or the ghost had some other purpose and accidentally ran here. ”

Mill stood up and walked around Ian's corpse and said, "Leave them alone, I feel that their interference will be beneficial for our investigation." ”

"What? Did I hear me right? Sir. "Martin was a little confused.

"Think about it, Martin." Mir said: "The appearance of the ghosts will also surprise the murderer, and perhaps they have disrupted the original plan for the murderer." ”

"So much so that the murderer's heart is so chaotic that he can give Jacques a chance to live."

Martin looked at Mill as he grabbed the shovel in his right hand and carried the oil lamp in his left hand as he walked behind him.

"Where are you going? Sir. Martin asked curiously.

"I'm looking for the deceased in the second murder."

Mir took a few dozen steps forward, stuck his shovel in the soil and said, "This should be it." ”

"OMG! Sir, how did you find it? Martin didn't believe that Mill would rely on his feelings to find a place to bury a body.

"Because the soil here is a little higher than it is everywhere, and don't forget, Martin, that there were three people killed in the second murder." Mir said confidently.

"Would the murderer be so careless? Sir. Martin asked, leaning over to Mir.

"Because no one cares, the murderer will definitely think that we are the same as those wine bags and rice bags." Mill replied.

"Martin, I'll leave it to you." Mir said, pointing to the shovel.
