Mage Joan

Chapter 951

"At that time, Guslin and I were shocked when we saw this scene."

"While I was still in a daze, Guslin went mad first, rushed forward angrily, grabbed the man, tore off his hands and feet, and forced him to ask him why he would so cruelly murder a woman who would abandon her family and run away with him. "

"The man was frightened by Guslin and confessed the truth. It turned out that he didn't love Irina at all, and he wasn't the son of an old world aristocrat he boasted in front of his mistress, but a professional liar who specialized in abducting rich women born."

"Once you succeed, try to lure those stupid women, take all your belongings and run away with him, find a secluded place on the way, kill the deceived woman, bury her body in the wilderness, then take away the other party's belongings, hide far away and have fun After a while, when this ill-gotten wealth is spent, I will go back to my old business and find other rich women to do it."

Elder Gumoduo shrugged his shoulders, expressing emotion in a sarcastic tone.

"This liar has done the same business many times. Elena is just one of the victims. Anyway, there are a lot of stupid women in the world. As long as they are handsome, can speak sweet words, and know how to please women, they will always Can find easy prey."

Qiao An picked up a pen to record Elder Gumoduo's narration, and inexplicably felt a complex emotion of sadness and humor in his heart.

The tragedy of Mrs. Irina is actually not uncommon. This kind of thing happens all the time. What really makes Joan feel strange is the overreaction of Gumoduo's eldest sister, Ms. Guslin.

At the invitation of Gumodo, this female boggard originally participated in the action with the intention of murdering Mrs. Irina, but when she saw her prey died at the hands of the man she loved, she died in a despicable murder. The fraud, actually filled with righteous indignation, beat up the liar, and asked him why he failed Irina's affection.

Guasilin's overreaction seemed a bit inexplicable at first glance, but it was reasonable after careful consideration.

Perhaps in that case, race and interests will automatically give way to gender positions, and any woman who sees such atrocities can't help but feel empathy and be furious.

"After Elena's lover confessed to the crime, Guslin went mad with anger and smashed the despicable liar's head with a slap."

"After that, weird things happened..."

Elder Gumoduo narrowed his eyes, slowed down his tone, and his demeanor became more mysterious.

"That man was originally a little white face with a greasy face, but when he died, his body changed shape, and finally turned into a monster that looked like a human but not human."

"What kind of monster is it? Tell me about his appearance in detail."

Qiao An couldn't help asking, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

"The corpse of that person still looks like a human in general, but his figure has become slender and thin. The smooth and dense violet skin is tightly wrapped around the bones, just like a dried corpse."

"In addition, the hair on his body has also disappeared out of thin air, and he is completely bald. The flat face and facial features lack three-dimensional sense, just like a bad print."

"The only thing that impresses me about this strange man's face is his swollen eyes, with a long strip of pupils in the emerald green eyeballs."

"Look carefully, and you can vaguely see black vertical stripes of different thicknesses arranged on the striped pupils, which looks like some kind of ribbon code."

After listening to Elder Gumoduo's description, Pinkerton and Grayson looked at each other in blank dismay, and then both of them turned to Joan at the same time, with a look of inquiry in their eyes.

"It sounds like some kind of humanoid... maybe an aberration..."

Joan tapped his forehead with the pen, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally he could only smile wryly.

"I'm sorry, I can only vaguely remember seeing a description of this monster in a book, but I can't remember what it is."

"It's okay, Joan, you can think about it slowly. Although this detail is weird, it has little effect on the main line of our case."

Pinkerton comforted.

Joan made no sound.

On the surface, the liar who killed Mr. Kaufman's ex-wife 20 years ago, what kind of creature it is, has nothing to do with today's serial murders, but he always feels that things are not that simple.

The monster that transformed after death left an extremely deep impression on him, and he had a vague premonition that the identity of this person is very important. Even today, twenty years later, he still plays a role in a mysterious way that is still unknown. Intangible influence.

The interrogation was still going on, and Joan had to temporarily suppress his doubts and focus on recording the confession of Elder Gumoduo.

According to Elder Gumoduo, after Mrs. Elena and her ruthless lover both died, he went to his employer, David Kaufman, as agreed to show evidence of the successful assassination.

Satisfied with his work, Kaufman paid for it.

But Elder Gumoduo didn't tell Kaufman the whole truth, he lied that the pair of adulterers were killed by himself, and deliberately concealed the detail that Mrs. Irina died at the hands of her lover.

Because he was worried that telling the truth would cause extra problems, which gave Kaufman an excuse to refuse to pay the full compensation.

Kaufman asked him to kill two people, but he only killed one. If Kaufman used this as a reason to pay him only half of the commission, he could not argue.

In addition to this small selfishness, Elder Gumoduo thought at the time that both of them were dead anyway, and it didn't matter who killed them, and he didn't feel ashamed to deceive Kaufman on this issue.

After this incident, Elder Gumoduo occasionally accepted Kaufman's employment to help him harass other hot spring baths and intimidate his competitors, but he never killed anyone for him again, and the two parties rarely met directly.

Elder Gumoduo contacted Kaufman when he had something to do, and he always sent a pigeon to act as an "animal messenger" to secretly deliver the letter to the "pigeon cage" on the roof of the "Happy Palace" hotel.

Until three months ago, Elder Gumoduo noticed that Kaufman had changed.

This old friend, who has always been quick to pay, made an exception and defaulted on two commissions, which were not paid overdue.

Elder Gumoduo was worried that Kaufman would renege on his debts, so he wrote a letter to demand debt from him, and issued a stern warning in the letter: If he did not pay again, he would attack the "Happy Palace" bathing place and make his business impossible.

Kaufman seemed frightened by his fiercely worded letter, and wrote back to apologize to him, claiming that he did not intend to default on the commission, mainly because he was courting a famous lady recently, and in order to please her, he frequently spent a lot of money and spent too much money. I'm a little nervous.

Also in this letter, Kaufman offered to make a deal with Elder Gumoduo—to lure and kill those rich single guests who came to Baden Hot Springs for vacation and recuperation, search for their money, and use this money to repay the debt owed to Marsh person's commission.
