Chapter 9: The key point

Views:

It is clearly written on the paper-

10 strong laborers, Crocker Mine, 1000.

5 Girls, Moon Mask, 2000.

6 children, Didaiku Street, 100.

Just some simple descriptions, but enough for Jason to make quite a few guesses.

He took the paper and looked at Bundy.

At this moment, the magistrate also held a piece of paper in his hand, his face was livid.

In fact, it wasn't just the sheriff.

The same is true of five able detectives, and one hot-tempered detective is even more swearing.

They didn't suspect it.

Because their identities are enough for them to know things that ordinary people don't know.

Example: The Maiden in the Moon Mask.

"Sir, what Karina said earlier is true!"

The hot-tempered detective turned to Bundy.

Carina

The unfamiliar name made Jason look at Finch who was following him.

"Kelina is the girl who came to report more than three months ago. She said that she was swept into the 'moon mask', but then the housekeeper of Lord Frieden came to report that the house was murdered by the new maid Kay. Lena steals property."

"After our investigation, Kailina was indeed hired by Lord Frieden from the countryside."

"We took the case and it turned out..."

The young police officer did not continue.

But the results naturally speak for themselves.

A country girl, a rich man.

What will happen, anyone can imagine.

"And after that?"

Jason continued to ask.

"Afterwards, the housekeeper took Karina away—it was in accordance with the law of employment."

"About a week later, the housekeeper came to report again, saying that Karina was missing."

"We searched as hard as we could, but Lorde was so big that it was a drop in the bucket. After a week, we chose to give up. As time went by, this girl was forgotten."

When he said this, self-blame appeared on the face of the young policeman.

"Some people are forgotten."

"Some people don't."

"Also, they will choose to be remembered in other ways."

Thinking of something, Jason groaned slightly, he looked at Finch again, and asked: "The police officers who handled this case at that time should include Punk, Kurtz, Geoff and Tal. ?”

"Yes!"

"Including them!"

"You mean?!"

The young police officer replied, and then stared at Jason with wide eyes.

The young constable, who was not a fool, had guessed something.

"revenge!"

"The Kailinna who survived the catastrophe or someone related to Kailinna is taking revenge."

"He chose those who, in his opinion, would 'do nothing to save' Karina."

Jason said, turned around and walked towards the door leading to the bedroom.

After Bundy gestured to the police detectives, he led Finch to follow.

Although everyone was sure that in the bedroom, they would be treated carefully by the other party, and nothing would be left except what the other party wanted to show them, but this did not prevent Jason from carefully investigating.

The bedroom was no longer empty, but a secret door on one side of the wall was opened.

There are lights inside.

After careful inspection, Jason walked inward.

This is a downward staircase.

There are more than a hundred steps, and according to the distance, it goes deep into the ground.

At the end of the stairs was a door that was also open, and the lights behind the door were still bright, allowing Jason to see the cages made of iron bars without difficulty.

In addition to the cage, there are wooden stakes for restraining people and torture instruments hanging on the wall.

In the burning charcoal brazier, a piece of soldering iron was inserted into it, and it had already been burned red.

Although there is no one here.

But looking at this scene, Jason can completely imagine what it would be like here.

The abducted and looted people huddled in the cage in fear, waiting for the judgment of their own fate.

Those who dared to resist were either hung up or trapped on wooden stakes and subjected to punishment, which became the best raw material for killing chickens and monkeys.

Eventually, they would be sent to various industries associated with Frieden.

Some people simply resigned to their fate.

Some people have not given up, and have been silently waiting for the opportunity.

Jason believed that Karina was not the first.

But he was the first to accomplish what he wanted to do.

Jason's eyes stayed on the corner cage.

Unlike the other cages, which were full of dust, the railings on the floor here were all new. Obviously, people had been imprisoned not long ago.

As for who was imprisoned

Jason couldn't think of anyone else except Frieden.

"That fire was also created by you, in order to impersonate him better, and then, at the most appropriate time, give him a public execution!"

Jason was talking to himself, and more solemnity began to appear in his eyes.

There is no trace of a monster living here.

Obviously, the monsters are not here.

This is just one of the pieces of evidence provided for 'public execution'.

An evidence riddled with contradictions.

Jason didn't forget the 'warning' and the subsequent ambush when Freyton was executed not long ago.

The contradiction between the two did not become clear as they thoroughly searched the entire Fryden Manor, but became more and more contradictory.

It's like two people with different positions are arguing.

"etc!"

"Two people?"

Jason suddenly thought of something and stopped his patrol.

Who stipulates that the Avenger is only one person

Maybe one of them is someone related to Kaleena.

The other person who is obviously on the mysterious side should be someone related to the other party.

Moreover, the two parties have a close relationship!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to cooperate with a mysterious existence and let that mysterious existence be so 'tolerant and accommodating'.

You know, the papers in the study just now were enough to expose Kailinna.

And when Kailinna's identity is exposed, following the clues, the other party's true identity is very likely to be exposed.

"One is younger and extremely principled."

"The existence of the other mysterious side is very sophisticated, and it is careful to avoid future troubles."

"Master and apprentice?"

Jason guessed the identities of the Avengers.

As for the person related to Kailina

It's not hard to guess.

Blood relationship or lovers are most likely!

The latter is more likely.

Because, if there is a blood relationship, Kailinna cannot be a country girl who needs to go out to work.

You know, the weirdness and power of the mysterious side don't need much, just a little bit is enough for people to live a prosperous and worry-free life.

Of course, these are just Jason's guesses.

The specific situation needs further investigation by Bondi and others.

Turning around, Jason looked at Bundy, whose face became more gloomy and angry after looking around, and was about to tell him what he thought.

However, just as the words were about to come out, Jason's face suddenly changed.

he,

Missed a crucial point!
