Xie Lun was not frightened by the horrifying laughter. He stepped forward almost without changing his expression, lit another match and threw it on the puppet.
The doll that was doused with gasoline instantly burst into flames.
"Oh my god, what did you do?"
Jamie didn't even bother to return his shoes, his slippers flew away, and he rushed over with one bare foot. He grabbed Xie Lun tightly and looked at the puppet that had turned into a ball of fire in horror:
"That's Lisa's relic, why, why did you burn it?"
"Relic" Sherron didn't care about Jamie's angry eyes and asked in a cold voice, "This thing is your wife's. When and where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"
Jamie was a little speechless by Xie Lun's questioning. After a while, he hesitated and said: "Someone gave it to me a week ago."
"who"
Jamie opened his mouth and said deflated: "I don't know."
"I don't know that a week ago, someone gave this doll to your wife, and then your wife was killed. Don't you think there is some connection?"
Looking at Sherron's aggressive eyes, Jamie couldn't help but become a little anxious: "I have told you the police these doubts a long time ago, but you didn't believe what I said at all. Instead, you suspected that I was the murderer."
Xie Lun sneered: "If I don't deceive you, how can I find out the doubts behind you?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the villa. Ella stood beside the window on the second floor of the villa, looking down expressionlessly.
"You came back here because of this doll. It's upstairs. What on earth did you ask?"
"Before I had a chance to ask, you suddenly burned this thing."
"There's something wrong with this thing, we can't keep it." Xie Lun said coldly, "You just heard the laughter coming from this doll's mouth, right? How could an ordinary doll make such a terrifying laugh?"
Jamie stuttered slightly and said: "Maybe there are mechanisms inside, equipped with loudspeakers or something like that."
"I think you have a loudspeaker in your head," Sherron said angrily, "Go and ask your father and your stepmother who still has a charming personality, if they know this puppet."
Jamie was speechless by Xie Lun's meal, and his aura had been completely suppressed by Xie Lun. In addition, he also realized that something was indeed wrong with the puppet, so he returned to the villa obediently.
Seeing the flames on the ground gradually getting smaller and the puppets gradually burning into ashes, Sherron raised his head and looked around. There was such a big commotion, and even shots were fired, but none of the neighbors came out to check.
However, Xie Lun was still keenly aware that in the small building across the road, the curtains flickered slightly.
Someone was clearly hiding behind the curtains, looking out.
"The residents of this town seem so sneaky."
At this time, the phone rang, and Xie Lun hurriedly returned to the scarlet sports car and answered the phone: "Monica, have you found any new information?"
Monica's urgent voice came from the phone: "Thank you, there is something wrong with Jamie. In the case where his wife was killed, he was suspected of committing a major crime. Although he was not arrested, he was restricted from leaving the country by the local police. Now because he left without permission, the local police have just issued a wanted order for him."
"Don't worry, have you found Jamie's personal information?"
"Of course, Jamie Ash graduated from the University of Missouri, majoring in Greek. He has participated in marathons many times and once won seventh place in the amateur group."
"It's not popular to study Greek in college. He also ran a marathon." Sherron snorted: "He is right under my nose now, I will pay attention. However, it is unlikely that Jamie committed the crime. On the contrary, I am more suspicious. His parents. What’s new to discover about Edward Ash, and his now wife Ella?”
"The town of Farravens is very backward. It doesn't even have a police station, a church or even the Internet."
"Church According to Jamie's stepmother, Ella, they registered their marriage in a small town church."
"Well, according to the information, the church has not sent clergy to this town since more than ten years ago."
Xie Lun narrowed his eyes: "Specific time"
There was a crackle and the sound of typing on the keyboard from the phone: "The last record was in 1990, exactly fifteen years from this year."
Sherron snorted: "Fifteen years ago, Jamie's brother disappeared mysteriously, and Jamie ran away from home. Fifteen years later, Jamie's wife was murdered, and Jamie returned to the town. There must be some connection between them."
Monica said solemnly: "I have too little information here. I can only check these at the moment. I will check the paper files later to see if there are any new discoveries."
"Okay, the focus is still on investigating the town of Farravens. I have a hunch that this town hides some extremely secretive dark history."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Xie Lun heard a sudden scream coming from the villa.
Without saying a word, Xie Lun rushed out of the car with a gun in his hand, and kicked the closed door of the villa away with one kick. Holding the gun, he carefully observed the surroundings and shouted sharply: "Jamie, where are you?"
"Ahhh"
The screams were still ringing, and judging from the source, they should be upstairs.
Xie Lun did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he simply judged that there was no one hiding on the first floor before walking up the stairs.
After reaching the second floor, the screaming suddenly stopped, and the entire villa fell into a deathly silence.
At the same time, the lights went out, and Sherren's eyes became dim.
Without any hesitation, Sherron fired in the direction of the window. "Bang, bang," two gunshots rang out. The shotgun, known for its powerful close-quarters power and wide killing area, easily tore through the thick curtains and shattered the windows, allowing the sunlight from outside the house to shine in.
"Well Mr. Edward"
After the sun illuminated the room, the first thing Sherron saw was Edward sitting at the dining table. The old man was still leaning on his wheelchair, his head tilted to the side, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Then Sherron quickly discovered Jamie. He covered his mouth tightly with his hands and huddled in the corner with a look of horror on his face.
"Jamie"
Sherron stepped forward carefully and slowly grabbed Jamie's shoulders. It was only then that Sherron discovered that there was a pool of unknown liquid under Jamie's body.
Well, this is a normal physiological reaction caused by extreme fright. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
At least it means Jamie is still alive and not scared to death.
"Hey, man, don't be afraid, it's me." Sherron said as softly as possible, "Tell me what happened here."
Jamie looked at Sherron blankly, and pointed a trembling hand at Edward, who was sitting in a wheelchair opposite.
Sherron pointed his gun at Edward, making sure he dared to make any move, and then shot him in the head. But until Xie Lun came to him, the old man didn't react at all.
Xie Lun carefully pushed the opponent's shoulder with the muzzle of the gun. As a result, the wheelchair easily turned half a circle, and then Xie Lun took a deep breath.
I saw that Edward's back was dug out deeply. From the front, he looks like a normal person, but in fact there is only a shell left, and his internal organs have long since disappeared.
What's more important is that there is a clever mechanism installed in his body, which allows people to control the movements of this corpse behind his back, just like a puppet.
"Ella"
Sherren instantly recalled the beautiful blond woman who was always standing behind Edward whenever he was around. Obviously, that woman was the puppet master who secretly manipulated Edward's body.
I just don’t know where this femme fatale woman has gone now.
