Chapter 78 Money and Power (8/24)
"Donald, I'll give you the Bone Spirit Plate."
On the way, Stephanie was about to return the Bone Spirit Plate, who took it over and injected all the energy just absorbed from the siphon bone ring into the sound wave toad and the dragon head mole.
The last battle in Lake Sel caused them a lot of damage, and this time they finally collected some energy.
After the supplement was completed, I handed it back.
"You can take it. This incident is not over yet. I guess there will be another battle. As long as the bone spirit plate is within a certain range around me, I can use it directly, so if you put it, I will be the same... When it comes, the rich are the rich, and this house is the best in Hongya Town, right?"
Mr. Dale's house is not difficult to find. The area of Hongya Town is not large, so this kind of villa can be recognized at a glance.
Of course, it is only limited to the territory of Hongya Town.
Stephanie looked at the lights in the house and could vaguely hear the crying sounds.
Go forward and knock on the door.
"Hello, we are Demingham government investigators. This is a document. Due to the special incidents in the town, I have some questions to verify with you."
The documents of the Special Measurement Bureau were distributed before they went on the mission. Donald glanced at the waiter who opened the door and stepped in without waiting for him to report it.
On the table in the hall, Mr. Dalle's headless body was placed on the table.
Not only him, but also a female corpse.
Next to the body was a group of men and women, who should be relatives at home.
"Who are you? Our family does not welcome outsiders now!"
A young man saw a stranger entering the door and drove them out directly.
"I am a Demingham government investigator. I'm sorry to come to disturb me at this time, but for the safety of Hongjia Town, please forgive me for being rude. I have a few questions to ask for a certificate."
Donald once again explained his identity and showed his ID.
"I said that outsiders are not welcome, please go out, now, immediately!"
The young man who was ignored turned red and his anger was beyond words.
"So I said too, I'm sorry for being rude."
With a casual wave, the young man retreated under the control of Donald's mental power and staggered to the ground.
The crowd of people in the nearby area fell into silence.
"I have reason to suspect that Mr. Dalle is related to the disappearance of a girl two years ago. He was originally the subject of my inquiry, but he was dead, so I decided to ask you, don't worry, just a simple question."
Donald cleared his throat and directly explained his purpose.
"This is simply ridiculous. I asked about the case two years ago today. It was when the master just died. This behavior was shameless. I want to call the police!"
Some people still expressed dissatisfaction with Donald's approach. Indeed, when the male owner of this family came to the house when he died, he was somewhat suspicious of provoking trouble.
"Sorry, the sheriff is busy... Can we speed up the progress? Stephanie."
Donald was too lazy to talk to these people and called out Stephanie. Her talent always worked miraculously at this time.
"Can you tell me who killed your father?"
He lifted up his long hair and smiled. The young man sitting on the ground forgot his name. Ordinary people could not resist her talent at all!
"I didn't see it, but the housekeeper said it was a tall man in a gray robe."
The murderer confirmed that he was the one who was lying on the floor of the police station.
"Ba Jin, how can you answer their questions?"
The woman next to her was surprised that the young man was so obedient to these two rude people.
"Madam, I'll just speak when I ask you, okay?"
Donald raised his hand, and the invisible slave pressed her directly onto the chair, then covered her mouth without hurting anyone.
"Dalle and Mr. Sheriff had done something bad when the girl disappeared two years ago, you know?"
Faced with this problem, the young man looked confused.
Donald's eyes were not on the young man, but on the first time Stephanie asked this question, he swept over everyone present, and then locked on an old butler with gray hair.
This is not a single question.
"Sir, your identity is..."
Donald asked, walking up to him.
"I am Mr. Dalle's personal steward."
"It seems you know the answer to the question just now, right? My friend and I are very busy. We have been running around for half a night for Hongya Town. Now... it's 1 a.m., I want to go back and rest for a while. What do you think?"
Donald took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It really took him a certain amount of time to restore his mental power.
"Sorry, I don't know."
The butler never thought of betraying his master.
Such an answer is obviously not what Donald wants.
"Sterfanie, can I handle it?"
Donald sometimes thinks that Stephanie's talent is actually pretty good. Although it is difficult to play a role in combat, it is quite practical when investigating cases. Her charm is more convenient than any cruel means of forcing confession.
"no problem."
The charm of several successes gradually made Stephanie feel confident. She stood up from the young man, stepped on ordinary leather boots, and her slender legs were staggered.
When I arrived at the butler, I bent down lightly and blinked charmingly.
Will the butler have better self-control than Pence?
The answer is no.
"Two years ago, the master once pursued a girl, and his method was a bit extreme... Later, I saw that the master and the sheriff were often discussing something together."
"Who is that girl, her background, her name, what happened at that time."
Donald asked, Stephanie repeated the question.
The people next to them all changed their faces.
"Lilo Turner is the daughter of a widow living alone in the town. I was once commissioned by the master to take someone to take her photos... Apart from that, I don't know... Later, the girl disappeared and was said to have been attacked by monsters outside the town."
There was a struggle on the butler's face. He was avoiding this problem, but could not escape Stephanie's control.
"Lilo Turner...Donald, the empty coffin in the cemetery, the name on the tombstone, Lilo Turner!"
"I understand, who knows this mask?"
Donald took out the mask that was peeled off from the rich man's head.
"That's Grandpa's mask!"
A girl gave the answer aside, and her father hurriedly covered her mouth and took her into his arms.
"So many adults are not as honest as a little girl in the end, hum, Stephanie, let's go."
With a cold snorting, Donald put away his mask and left the residence.
Lilo Turner's death is absolutely inseparable from the sheriff and the rich!
Someone once saw a suspicious person wearing a mask during the disappearance of a girl. Could it be that the sheriff and the rich man were the murderers of the disappearance of a girl?
According to the deputy sheriff, the victims of the girl's disappearance case were not found, either the body or the murderer, and the final characterization was an undead attack.
The housekeeper said that at that time, Lilo Turner was judged to be attacked by a monster. The monster he mentioned was very likely to be an undead creature who was found by the police station.
Since there is a coffin and there are signs of being moved, it is proved that Lilo Turner's body should be the only one recovered in the deputy sheriff's mouth.
So the question is, why was her body recovered and the negative energy magic array was carved on the lid of the coffin?
Returning to the police station, Boglo and Pence seemed to be faster than they had returned.
"The sheriff and his wife were all killed. The sheriff and his wife had no children, and they did not find any clues at their homes. We could not find any useful information, so we returned early."
Boglo said, taking a sip of coffee.
Donald shared the information he received with them.
"I see Susanna is right, it is the case they committed. One of them has the power and the other has the money. They have joined forces to commit crimes against girls, and then pushed all their crimes to the undead creatures. Now they deserve it."
After hearing this, Pence slapped the table and almost shocked some of the documents and debris placed beside him. Stephanie reached out to help her to stabilize her.
"These two people deserve to die..."
Boglo's mood was also somewhat wrong with his fingers pinching the coffee cup.
This attracted Donald's attention. Such obvious emotions did not look like Boglo's style.
The previous information about the heavy casualties in the town did not make him frown!
"It's still the same problem. If it's revenge, killing people is the case. Why do we slaughter the residents of the town and collect soul energy? Now we have to add corpses to steal... we can only wait for the investigation results of the deputy sheriff and the captain."
Donald rubbed Finger's stomach, closed his eyes and rested, and he said softly, not knowing whether it was for the three people next to him or for himself.
The third wave came back from Horn and Susanna. They asked all the police involved in the case that year and asked them to speak without reservation with the order of the deputy sheriff.
It's already 3 a.m.
While telling them about their discoveries, Donald took the notes from Susanna's hand and looked through the transcripts above.
"There is something strange about this case. First, it was the time of disappearance. The first girl disappeared on March 2, followed by April 5, April 8, April 15, April 20, followed by the body that disappeared. Only the first one was found. It was on March 28. It was not an accidental discovery, but a townsman saw the girl's mother holding her home. Finally, a police officer said that he had seen a demon cage in the girl's family's residence... I think the girl's mother is not an ordinary person!"
While taking the transcript, Horn Shelley kept thinking and quickly found several key points. He once again showed his ability as a captain.
"The first girl, Lilo Turner, is likely to be a sheriff and a wealthy man who committed the crime according to the current information, but the next four victims, whether they were missing or recovered from the body, were different from the first one. If the truth of the matter was that the sheriff and the rich man who received pleasure from the first victim and committed the crime in a short period of time, would their methods show two different results in a short period of time?"
Donald closed the notes and had the answer in his mind.
