Chapter 62: Witnessed Tragedy

"What a bizarre thing? How bizarre is it?" Wright asked hurriedly.

"I remember it was three days ago, late at night, and I couldn't remember what time it was. Anthony woke me up and said that through his window, he saw a very strange person standing on the balcony of the opposite building." Diana said in a nervous tone as if she was thinking of something terrible.

"Late at night? A strange person?" Shen Zifan asked.

"Yes, Anthony has difficulty falling asleep at night because of severe autism and neurasthenia. That day, he came to my room and woke me up and said that his room was so terrible. There was a very strange person standing on the balcony on the second floor opposite. At that time, I didn't think much about it because he had a nightmare or had hallucinations after taking too much nervous drugs recently. Because the doctor said that eating too much of this type of drug may cause hallucination, I didn't care about this so-called weirdo, just left Anthony to rest in my bedroom." Diana said somewhat regretfully.

"That weirdo shouldn't be Anthony's nightmare or hallucination?" Shen Zifan asked.

"It seems that it is not now. The next day when I woke up, I found Anthony sitting by the bed, talking to the window with his back to his back, and was talking about 'Scarecrow' and other words. At that time, the Scarecrow had not been in the newspaper or as terrifying as it is now, so I don't know what the Scarecrow in Anthony's mouth means. At that time, I stood up and found that Anthony's eyes were covered with red blood, which looked like he had not been asleep all night." Diana's words were full of heartache.

"scarecrow!"

Shen Zifan and the other two looked at each other, sure enough! Their previous reasoning should be correct! The Scarecrow appeared in person on the balcony on the second floor of Villa No. 24. The woman living in Villa No. 24 definitely had some unusual relationship with the Scarecrow!

"What about madam after that?" Chat asked impatiently.

"After I realized that Anthony's mental state was not right. It might not be as simple as a nightmare. I asked Anthony what the scarecrow and strange man meant. Anthony told me..." Diana took a deep breath and continued.

"He said he heard something happening in the villa opposite at night, and when he opened the window, he saw a man standing on the balcony on the second floor of the villa opposite opposite. The man was wearing a terrible brown hood, which looked like a scarecrow. He said that the scarecrow-like man was wearing a white top, very long. When he looked over, the man was holding a blood-stained knife and putting it into his pocket. Anthony was frightened at the time and did not dare to move." Diana said in horror.

"White top, blood-stained slender knife..." Chu Zihang stroked his chin and thought seriously.

"You continue talking, Mrs. Diana." Shen Zifan said.

"When he said he was about to close the window and pull up the curtains, the weird man suddenly turned his head and looked here. He could even see the fierce look under the scarecrow's head. It was the most terrifying and creepy look he had ever seen in his life, as if he was tortured by Ling Chi to pieces. He said that the man had a pair of golden eyes that would shine in the night, which he would never forget." Diana said.

"Golden Eyes!"

The three of them took a breath. Sure enough, the scarecrow is a mixed race, and they are getting closer and closer to the truth!

"What's even more terrifying is that when Anthony said that when he closed the window, he vaguely saw a woman standing behind the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony. The woman's face was covered with blood, and she was crying and laughing, which looked very scary. But Anthony wasn't sure if he could see clearly, and then he ran to my room." Diana sighed, "It's all my fault that I didn't take it seriously at the time. That weirdo must be a scarecrow, and it was Anthony who killed me... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Diana spoke very much with self-blame. When she said this, she couldn't help but collapse and burst into tears again. She covered her swollen eyes with her hands, and even in front of three outsiders, she could not curb her sadness and overflowing emotions.

"Mrs. Diana..." Wright wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Zifan.

Let this mother cry alone for a while, otherwise she will be so crazy... Shen Zifan told Wright with his eyes.

The woman's crying of collapse echoed in the empty living room of the huge villa, and the painful voice was filled with the woman's self-blame and heartbreak. She seemed to have lost the most precious thing in her life, and she wanted to fill the big hole in her soul with her life.

But she was powerless, so she could only suffer.

When a mother loses her own child, the world seems to leave her endless sadness.

The woman cried for a long time, and Shen Zifan and the other two just waited quietly, without disturbing or urging. When the crying gradually diminished, the woman used her sleeves to wipe her eyes that could no longer be focused.

"Are you better, madam?" Shen Zifan handed over a stack of tissues and asked softly.

"I'm fine..." the woman said reluctantly, at this moment, her bitter face couldn't even squeeze out a smile, "Let's continue."

"Later, with your concern for Anthony, this matter will not end here, right?" Shen Zifan asked, and he always felt that something was missing.

The woman in the villa next door... the scarecrow... Anthony... Diana... As the deputy director's husband... all the characters in this matter are like beads of different sizes, and now there is a line, a line that can connect all characters and events together.

"I listened to Anthony's description and knocked on the door next door, but there was no reaction. I didn't know if the woman was still in the house, but I was more worried about Anthony's mental state at that time, so I took him to the psychologist for psychological counseling." Diana said while wiping the tears.

"Psychologist...will we learn more about this psychologist?" Shen Zifan seemed to have vaguely felt something.

"The psychologist who provided psychological counseling for Anthony is an acquaintance of my husband and vice president Ferdinand of Presbyterian Hospital. He is an expert in psychology and has a good reputation in the industry. He is good at psychological counseling and psychological comfort," said Diana.

"Then what is the vice president's diagnosis of Anthony?" Shen Zifan asked unwillingly.

"I don't know the specific psychological counseling process, but when I finally walked out of the consultation room, Anthony calmed down, not as nervous and frightened as before. Vice President Ferdinand said that the horrifying scene Anthony saw might be the side effects caused by excessive drugs combined with the scarecrow incident that Anthony might have seen from which news," Diana said.
