"Recently, Mr. Amos Morrison, a famous artist and painter in Frozen Water Harbor, was arrested by the public security guards for serial homicide.

"According to an anonymous letter, the Lord Amos Morrison's gallery contains a large number of dead bodies. Although the Lord Sheriff Hiram thinks this may be a hoax, our venerable Sheriff Hiram, or With its own security police guards and the assistance of several relevant industry insiders, it carried out a raid on Morrison Gallery last night."

… Huh

gallery

Seeing this, Annan was thoughtful.

He looked up and saw that the newspaper was called "Recent Events in Beihai". It seemed to be a monthly newspaper, once a month.

After writing down the name, Annan carefully unfolded the brittle newspaper and looked down carefully:

"Earlier, His Excellency Amos Morrison had reported to the Freezing Water Harbor Police Station, claiming that his daughter Ailey Morrison was inexplicably missing. Because of Mr. Amos's outstanding creation, this matter had previously caused There was an uproar.

"Our beloved Viscount Alvin Barber and the honorable Earl Geraint also sent an inquiry on this matter at one time. The Freezing Waterport Police Department joined forces with the security guards of Fort Rose, Whiteland, and High Cliff Castle to handle the case, and recruited A number of well-known detectives and the assistance of relevant industry insiders have been sought, but the whereabouts of Ailey Morrison have not yet been discovered.

"This incident was once brought to the capital as a case to prove the weakness of the law and order in the Northern Sea Territory. Earl Geraint severely criticized this incident, and the former police chief of Frozen Water Port, Job Boluo, was also demoted because of his disadvantage in handling the case.

"At 2:15 am on March 4, Sheriff Hiram's investigation team was attacked in the Morrison Gallery. Three police officers died unfortunately, and two police officers also suffered a huge mental shock because of the cruel scene He went mad on the spot, and died of his injuries a few days later.

"The assailant was shot dead on the spot, and the body was recovered by the police station. The identity is said to be a mercenary from the swamp. More details, including the number of the assailants, are still being kept secret.

"According to the testimony of a drinker who had just left Rotten Fish, he heard a loud roar at about 2:30 in the morning. He rushed to the Morrison Gallery and found that the police were fighting with a 'body on fire. He was stunned and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the 'colorful meat ball', and then he was knocked unconscious from behind.

"Subsequently, Sergeant Hiram found multiple body fragments of Alley Morrison in the Morrison Gallery. They were hidden inside the painting frame and sniffed out by police dogs - and before that, the Morrison Gallery Pets are always prohibited.

"Ariel Morrison was originally named Arielle Buckle. When she was seven years old, her biological father died, and her mother, Clara Buckle, remarried to Amos Morrison, who was five years younger than herself. Alley also changed her surname to Morrison at this time.

"When she was fourteen years old, her mother, Clara, died of illness for unknown reasons. And in the basement of the Morrison Gallery, a six-month-old stillbirth that had just been made into a specimen was found, and relevant industry insiders confirmed that its mother was It was Alley Morrison, and its father was Amos Morrison. We have reason to suspect that there was an improper and unhealthy relationship between them."

Below it, there is a line of small characters saying "Note: This specimen has been recovered by relevant departments".

… stillborn at six months

Annan paused.

If the year when Alley died and Amos was arrested was the second year of the nightmare...

He did some rough calculations. The month that Ellie conceived... was almost the same month as Amos's second plot ritual.

Annan suddenly felt a chill behind him.

But he didn't realize where this uneasy feeling came from.

He continued to look down:

"Ailey Morrison's body was confirmed to have died half a month ago by relevant industry insiders and policemen, ten days after Mr. Amos Morrison reported the case.

"In addition, in the underground warehouse of the Morrison Gallery, many bodies were found, most of them were homeless, but also the well-known art critic His Excellency Absolen Flagg. He was formerly Morrison He was a critic of the painting, but he became a fanatical supporter of Morrison six months ago. Three months ago, he went to Freezing Waterport to attend Mr. Morrison's painting exhibition, but disappeared halfway.

"We have reason to suspect that he was killed by Amos. His Excellency Amos confessed to this fact."

"When asked about other details in the gallery, as well as the so-called colored ball, Lord Magistrate Hiram said:

"'There is no doubt that the mercenaries who fought us were from the swamp, and all the police officers present can attest to this. The reason for the abstract monster to appear on the scene can only be the effect of alcohol. What happened in the gallery Regarding other matters, we have nothing to comment on when it comes to confidentiality regulations. But Mr. Reporter, I sincerely tell you that it is a great blessing that you did not show up at the scene. I think that anyone with a conscience and sound morals People will weep for the horrors in the basement.'

"At present, the Morrison Gallery has been blocked by the security guards, and the relevant personnel involved in the case are being summoned one after another. Your Excellency Morrison is under strict confinement and control. It is reported that the lord intends to demolish the Morrison Gallery in the near future."

... Is this how it ends for Amos

Annan wrote down all the other contents of the newspaper in the same period, and then slowly closed the newspaper back.

Count Geraint...

Forty-five years ago, which Geraint

Don Juan's father, or his grandfather

Also, is the Viscount Roseburg mentioned in the nightmare really Alvin Barber

And Ellie's previous last name, "Buckle."

If Annan remembers correctly, in the cutscene CG of the nightmare, Amos was yelling "Don't... Buckle..."

Who is he talking to

Annan vaguely realized that there seemed to be no connection between these old events. It is even possible that the Frozen Water Port has been abandoned decades ago, perhaps not just because of the prohibition of export trade with the Duchy of Winter.

Then, Don Juan came to this land... maybe not just because of the simple reason of "being persecuted in the capital".

"Forty-five years ago..."

Annan murmured.

He silently wrote down the number.

In any case, something must have happened forty-five years ago.

"how?"

Salvatore on the side looked at Annan looking at the newspaper with a serious expression, and couldn't help asking: "Is there any gain?"

"Yes. Do you still have this year's newspaper?"

Annan immediately replied: "I also want the ones from the previous year."

The current time is December 1503 in the new calendar. The last month of the year, protected by the cold-blooded lady, the strict old grandmother, will soon be 1504.

So forty-five years ago, it was 14 years.

At this time, something must have happened...

"It's hard to find newspapers this old, and they don't have a big circulation."

Salvatore scratched his head in trouble: "This time I only brought the Geraint family and related news newspapers from the Black Tower... mainly because I am afraid of breaking taboos. It may not be possible to find them all, I will try my best..."

"Thank you, senior."

Annan nodded.

It's better to ask Salvatore to help with the investigation than to run around without a head.

It's another problem, and Annan urgently needs to deal with it personally...

"My guards, what's the situation now?"
