Chapter 453: The Truth About the Murder Case (Ⅰ)
"Big Jack died, but Little Jack survived? The vitality of this little monster is really crazy." Ah Zhi was surprised.
Thomas shrugged, with a strange expression on his face.
"Originally he and Big Jack were going to be burned to death, but before he died, he cut open Big Jack's belly and ate Big Jack's liver. As a result, Big Jack died, but Little Jack survived, and his body His burns and gunshot wounds also healed inexplicably."
"Eat... raw liver?" Rebecca covered her mouth and retched, eyes full of disgust, "This person is really perverted!"
"Eating raw liver is fine, but eating your brother's liver is the most perverted..." Teacher Benny said with a gloomy expression, "You know, Big Jack was still working hard to rescue him until the moment he was cut open by Little Jack. The little Jack caught in the fire, the human nature, I really can't say it..."
"We humans don't take this blame!" Thomas retorted, "Little Jack is a goblin, it's not surprising that he is inhuman!"
Joan heard the quarrel behind him, looked back, and found that Martin was arguing with Edward, his face flushed with excitement, and he yelled loudly, while Edward looked very calm, no matter how violent Martin protested, he just shook his head repeatedly and refused.
"Senior Martin looks very excited... What are he and Edward arguing about?" Joan asked Thomas in a low voice.
"Martin was deeply stimulated by Little Jack's vicious heart. He couldn't tolerate this pervert to continue living in this world. He insisted on killing him to avoid future troubles, but Edward just refused." Thomas smiled wryly and sighed, "Edward Said that he can understand Martin's hatred and hatred for Little Jack, but he can't kill him now, he must ask the truth about the murder from him and hand it over to the police."
"Edward said it very well. Who among us doesn't hate Little Jack? But killing the only suspect will not be able to present strong evidence to the police to solve the murder, and Ms. Miranda will not be able to get rid of the charges and restore her reputation... as As an adult, Mr. Smith should understand the principle of taking the overall situation into consideration and control his excessive emotions." Rebecca said softly.
Thomas smiled: "If you remember how abused Martin was on Wild Boar Island, you shouldn't be surprised by his anger at the moment."
"But Edward was hurt even more at that time, but he seemed very calm and rational." Rebecca retorted displeasedly.
"Because he is Edward Gates, most people can't be as sane and cruel as he is, not to mention he didn't treat his enemies kindly. Have you noticed Little Jack's hands and feet? Both tendons and hamstrings were cut off by Edward with a sword , this little villain, he will never be able to dance again."
Thomas made no secret of his gloating over the torture of young Jack.
Joan looked at Little Jack, whose limbs were bleeding and lying paralyzed on the ground, and found that Xiao Miao was interrogating him, so he walked over.
"Sister Meow, has he pleaded guilty?"
"Only admitted a part." Xiao Miao squatted in front of Little Jack, stroking his tail and said to Joan: "This guy admitted that he participated in the murder of Master Rawls, and also admitted that Big Jack and Idal were his colleagues. party, but he would never admit to having committed the murder of Walter Lee."
"It's really strange, Joan. If he wants to deny it, he shouldn't admit to the first murder case. After all, this case alone is enough to be sentenced to death. Since he confessed to the murder of Master Rawls, it shows that he You don't care about being sentenced to death, so why do you insist on denying the fact that you participated in the murder of Master Li?" Xiao Miao was puzzled.
"It's really illogical. We have to find out what this monster is planning." Joan said after thinking.
"Two idiots, stop nagging in my ears, it's so annoying!" Little Jack lay on the ground, cursing in a low voice in the "wood language" that goblins are used to.
Qiao An turned to look at him, and also said coldly in the wooden language: "If you want to swear, you'd better use a language that the other party understands, otherwise it will be useless, and it will reveal your cowardice."
Little Jack was taken aback, and asked hesitantly, "You...you also understand the Wood language?"
"I know more than you think, but I don't understand why you are only willing to admit one of the two murders, but deny the other."
"Damn it! How many more times do I have to say it? We did assassinate that pudgy professor who seems to be named Robert? As for what Walter Lee, hell, I don't even know the guy, not even what he looks like." I know, why should I be responsible for his life and death!"
Little Jack stuck his neck and shouted excitedly.
"I did it, I don't deny it, I didn't do it, don't let me take the blame for others!"
"Okay, let's talk about the first murder case. How did you murder Mentor Rawls, and where is the magic weapon you stole from him hidden?" Joan asked calmly.
"Go ask that catwoman. I've already told her the details of the assassination, and I don't want to repeat it. As for the magic device you mentioned, go to Idal. It's all in his hands. Ask a little guy like me. There's a use for it!" Little Jack replied impatiently.
"Idar has been killed by me."
"Impossible!" Little Jack squinted at the young mage, with contempt in his eyes, "With your ability, you are lucky not to be slaughtered by Idar, and you dare to boast that you killed him, it's ridiculous."
"I don't need to brag." Joan took out the crystal amulet from the storage bag and handed it to him. "Idal is indeed strong, but if he dies, he is dead, otherwise this thing would not fall into my hands."
"this……"
Little Jack stared at the crystal amulet in Joan's hand in astonishment, and recognized that it was indeed the "fire-resistant amulet" worn by Idar. Become gray and decadent.
"I searched Idar's body carefully, and only found the 'clockwork module' stolen from Rawls Laboratory, and where did you hide a 'soul-binding bottle'?" Joan asked.
"What bottle? I've never heard of such a thing."
"The soul-binding bottle, a black copper bottle with intricate runes engraved on the outer shell, about half a foot long, with two ears and a thin neck, the weight is much heavier than it appears on the surface..."
"You told me this is pure nonsense, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it!"
Little Jack interrupted Joan's description and yelled anxiously.
"Indeed! After we assassinated the professor, we took the brass cube on his desk. It's probably what you called the 'clockwork module'!"
"It was Idar's idea. He said that he could use that thing to manipulate low-level constructs, such as the activated scarecrows in the farmland. In fact, he did that!"
"As for the soul-binding bottle, we didn't touch it at all! We don't understand the use of other items in that laboratory, and there is no point in stealing them, so why bother!"
