flame!
The flames soared into the sky!
Thick smoke billows endlessly!
In the open space not far ahead on one side of the road, on a pile of burning firewood, a bound figure was struggling violently in the flames, and the wailing sound also came from the opponent's mouth.
It's just that the sound is disappearing at an extremely fast speed.
The next moment, there was no sound.
All that's left is the crackling of flames and logs and grease.
"parking!"
Hall's loud shout woke up the overwhelmed coachman. The coachman pulled the reins and stopped the carriage firmly. Before the carriage stopped, Jason and Hall jumped out of the carriage.
At the same time, the MF92 pistol appeared in Jason's hands.
There is no doubt that this is a homicide.
The bushes, firewood, and bound people that had been cleared out were all telling Jason all this.
And the murderer who made this murder case is very likely still nearby!
Without Jason's reminder, Detective Hall pulled out the revolver, walked forward, and looked around vigilantly.
But nothing happened until the two walked in front of the person who had already been burned to death.
Neither the murderer was seen nor any danger was encountered.
As a police detective, Hall kicked away the burning firewood, and then shouted at the driver: "Is there a shovel or something like that?"
"Yes, yes."
The coachman stammered his answer, and opened the lock of the toolbox from under the seat dedicated to the coachman. Inside were short-handled shovels, wrenches, and other tools prepared to deal with accidents such as damage to the carriage and blockage of the road by earth and rocks.
The coachman picked up one of the short shovels, ran over staggeringly, and even fell during the process.
Obviously, the other party was terrified by the scene in front of him, and could no longer maintain the role of a luxury merchant driver.
In fact, needless to say, these people who have just been hired and have not yet integrated into the upper class, even those real upper class people will definitely not be able to maintain their composure when they see the scene in front of them.
After the driver in front of him handed the shovel to Hall, without any intention of helping, he turned around and ran to the side of the road, bent over and vomited.
At this time, the other party had already forgotten his identity.
If possible, I really want to get out of here immediately.
Jason glanced at the vomiting coachman and ignored him, and ignored Hall who was putting out the fire. He frowned and looked around.
The scene in front of me is really strange!
The road on the outskirts of the city where they are located is straight, without any forks, and the road is lined with bushes and woods. According to common sense, since the other party has time to clear an open space, why doesn't the other party go deeper and choose a better place? For hidden, unknown places? Instead, he chose the side of the easily exposed suburban road
Or, why not use other methods
Do you have to use the most cruel and conspicuous method of 'burning'
It also happened to be when we passed by!
Show off
Thinking of something, Jason frowned more and more, and he walked quickly to the coachman who was still vomiting.
"Hello, are there many people passing by this road?"
Jason asked gently.
"not much."
"Because it only leads to Friedton Manor."
"If I hadn't visited the manor, I wouldn't have come here at all, but the master has already declined most of the guests, especially after expelling some former friends, there are no more people coming here."
The driver, who encountered such a tragic corpse for the first time, didn't dare to hide it at all. He wiped his mouth and answered Jason's question with fear. He even said something that a servant should never say.
"Well, thank you."
Jason nodded, he already had some guesses in his heart.
The other party's arrangement is probably aimed at them.
According to Detective Hall, Fryden, who lived in isolation, was rarely visited by anyone.
And just now Frieden was kidnapped again!
Therefore, the only ones passing by here are police detectives.
After a lot of trouble, the other party wanted to let the detective see this scene in front of him!
As for why
Almost subconsciously, Jason thought that the kidnapped rich man, Frieden, was also caught in the fire.
revenge
Jason, who was thinking, subconsciously walked to the edge of the open space.
The shrubs and trees that were felled before are neatly stacked here, with neat fractures, whether it is shrubs with small branches or trunks that are thick and thin at the mouth of the sea bowl.
Jason squatted there, carefully examining the remaining marks on the broken trunk.
On each tree trunk, the ax falls on the left side, and the opponent's dominant hand is the left hand.
Basically, with two or three blows, the opponent can cut down a tree. Obviously, the opponent is very strong.
Judging from the height of the remaining stump, although the opponent is strong, he is not tall, and should be similar to ordinary people.
After reaching these conclusions, Jason turned around and continued walking along the edge of the clearing.
He hoped to find traces such as footprints, but found nothing.
After searching again and confirming that there were no clues, Jason walked towards Hall.
By this time, the fire had been extinguished, revealing the charred and unrecognizable corpse inside.
Detective Hall frowned and squatted in front of the corpse, trying to find some clues from the corpse. However, even the most experienced police detective, facing a corpse that had been burnt to such a degree, Hall could not do anything at all. .
"Damn it!"
"How could such a thing happen!"
Hall was annoyed by the murderer's brutality, and was thinking about how to solve it.
If one wanted to find the murderer, one would naturally start with the charred corpse in front of him. According to his experience, as long as the identity of the corpse was found out, the murder would be half solved.
And that requires a lot of hands!
However, at this moment, Sheriff Bundy is leading most of the manpower to find the whereabouts of those 'monsters', and it is really too difficult for the rest of the people to complete the investigation.
Hall, who was in trouble, happened to see Jason walking over. Thinking of Jason's inspection of the scene just now, the police detective couldn't help asking:
"Your Excellency Jason, have you found anything?"
"Is Friedan left-handed?"
"The height is about the same as ordinary people, but very strong?"
Jason didn't answer directly, but asked Hall instead.
"Yes."
Detective Hall nodded, and then, the detective subconsciously looked at the felled trees in the distance, and then looked at the charred corpse at his feet. Think of something.
"You mean..."
Hall asked tentatively.
"Just like you think."
"Everything in the field told me so."
"Just one thing, I can't figure it out."
As he spoke, Jason frowned again.
Hall hurriedly asked:
"Which point?"
