Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

"Haha, she is still young and cannot accept a 5-year-old partner."

Locke laughed.

The old prison guard also smiled coquettishly, "Well, what a pity, Robinson, you were rejected."

The old prison guard led Locke to the death row prisoner area.

The prison is cold and damp, and only certain areas have heating. The rest of the prison is close to freezing. Most of the prisoners are wrapped in standard cotton clothes, which means they are treated much better than the homeless on the roadside.

Therefore, when winter approaches for people in the West District of Kosolk, many irresponsible people will choose to commit crimes and enter prison to escape the winter cold.

After all, food and accommodation are taken care of here, and cotton-padded clothes are also distributed.

But if they enter prison, it means that their children and wives may freeze to death outside, or become street girls.

Through the bars, you can see the death row prisoners sleeping.

"It's unfortunate that you came here. They finish work at 10 o'clock and come back to rest."

said the old prison guard.

"It doesn't matter, let me see first which one is the person I am looking for."

"Then take your time and watch."

The old prison guard was standing next to Locke, carelessly petting the cat.

The orange cat flattered the black cat on Locke's shoulder.

Erin narrowed her eyes and blocked the orange cat's mouth with invisible threads, so that it could no longer make any meows.

Apparently, Erin didn't like the fat orange cat.

"I need to find a criminal who has committed a heinous crime. Can you introduce him to me?"

Locke asked the old prison guard.

"The people imprisoned here are all guilty of heinous crimes, but if you must choose, I can introduce you to their criminal history."

"Number 31, this is a serial killer who killed four teenagers. These teenagers had no grudges against him. The reason he killed them was just because they looked like his sons. Yes, his wife took him He was allowed to raise his fake son until he was 14 years old. After he discovered this fact, his wife ran away with the fake son and he went crazy. "

"No. 32, this is a killer who killed a family of seven. The family once took him in for free, but he was jealous of the male owner, so he locked the male owner and his family in their home and set them on fire."

"Number 34, this is an ogre. He likes to eat the flesh of young boys, just like you. He likes it very much."

"No. 38, this is a villain who killed 15 female factory workers. They were also insulted by him before they died."

"Number 42, this is a villain whose hands are stained with the blood of five children..."

"How about it? Do you have a suitable candidate?"

The old prison guard rubbed the orange cat's head and asked.

"They all look like heinous criminals."

Locke said while stroking the cigarette rod and letting Rebecca out.

"Hey, these souls are very delicious, can I eat them all?"

asked the smoke-shaped Rebecca.

Locke shook his head, "You can only choose one."

If a death row inmate suddenly dies suddenly in the prison, it will not attract the attention of the superiors, but if a group of people are killed suddenly at the same time, they will definitely be held accountable.

"Huh, how stingy."

Rebecca complained and floated away.

She is choosing her own food.

Erin stood on Locke's shoulder and suddenly said,

"Ask him if there are any prisoners who moved in three years ago and committed crimes near Old Tom's Apartment in the West End of Kosolk."

Locke knew that Irene wanted to investigate the case of 12 missing children three years ago.

The crime took place at Old Tom's apartment.

If someone committed a crime in that place, they might have seen the murderer or one or two of the children.

Locke asked the old prison guard this question. The old prison guard thought for a moment.

"Mr. Investigator, you have found the right person. No one has a better memory than me, old Lillo. There are not many prisoners who meet your requirements. But this prisoner is not a death row prisoner. His sentence is 30 years. He attacked a man in Peking University. The Sheriff who patrols the special neighborhood, he used to live in Old Tom's Apartments, come with me."

The old prison guard turned around, Locke following closely behind him.

He looked back at Rebecca, who was still picking out food, and gave her a warning not to eat more.

Rebecca stuck out her tongue at Locke to show that she understood.

In Kosolk, assaulting a peace officer by an ordinary person is a felony, and the sentence can range from 10 to 30 years.

If you are a noble or royal family, you will not be imprisoned directly.

If you are a big capitalist or rich person, you can also buy it with money.

Living in a low-cost apartment like Old Tom Apartments, it is obvious that he cannot afford to pay for smooth relations, so it is understandable that he was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

An old prison guard named Lillo took Locke to the felon area. These prisoners have served sentences of more than 20 years, so they are called felons.

"Then, he will be locked up in this cell, number 263."

Old Lillo said.

Locke's eyes followed Old Lilo's hand and saw a thin man with sunken eye sockets and an ugly appearance.

"263, this distinguished Mr. Investigator has something to ask you, please come here."

Old Li Luo waved to him.

Prisoner No. 263 sat up from the bed and walked to the door. Through the iron bars, he saw the young and handsome young investigator.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

Locke looked at the cat on his shoulder.

Erin asked,

"Ask him about the missing child case three years ago."

"In September 1449, 12 children disappeared in the West District. A homeless witness said that he saw colorful fog appearing before several of the children disappeared. There seemed to be a mysterious woman in the fog, and it was suspected that a witch who eats children appeared. , you were living in Old Tom’s Apartment at the time, do you have any impressions of this incident?”

Locke asked.

"I'm not impressed."

The prisoner said with his head lowered.

Erin's paw gently scratched Locke's ear, "He's lying."

Locke frowned and looked at prisoner number 263 seriously,

"If you cooperate with me, I can help reduce your sentence, but if you don't, you may not survive the night."

Feeling the threat from Locke, the prisoner trembled and said,

"It's none of my business, I, I was just passing by, I just saw the colored fog, it's none of my business, I just attacked the sheriff."

"What are you afraid of just passing by? What's in the colorful mist?"

Locke asked.

"There are people in the colorful mist."

said the prisoner.

"You repeating the information I told you does not prove your worth."

Locke said coldly.

The prisoner swallowed and continued, "I, I saw the people in the fog, a man and a woman. I recognized them. I was afraid of their revenge, so I attacked the patrolling peace officer that night and was arrested."

"Do you recognize them? Who are they?"

Locke looked at the prisoner in surprise. He didn't expect that bringing Rebecca to the prison to eat would lead to unexpected gains.

"It's just a bit similar, I'm not sure."

said the prisoner tremblingly.

"It's up to the investigator to judge the accuracy of the answers, you just have to tell what you know."

Locke looked seriously at the prisoner.

"Yes, it's Bud Belmont and his wife, Joanne Mancini, I saw them."

The prisoner said and squatted on the ground, "I thought Bud Bemon was doing a magic show again, and I wanted to take a peek, but it turned out that there were children in the fog. I thought of the missing children, and I was scared immediately. escaped."

"You must be Bud Bemon?!"

Locke asked with a frown.

If they were really the parents of his own body, that would be such a disgrace to his son.

Not only did he leave behind a large debt, he was also a kidnapper!

It's just that for such an important witness, no sheriff came to question him at that time.

Was it because he had already been arrested at that time that he escaped interrogation?

"I...I can't be sure either, but the figure is very similar, and there is also the beautiful Joan Mancini. Joan Mancini is the kind of woman who is unforgettable at first glance. The entire Pate neighborhood , I can’t find another woman so beautiful, she has long black hair.”

stammered the prisoner.

"He wasn't lying. It was really interesting, wasn't it?"

Erin said with a smile.

Locke knew she was teasing him.

"Bud Bemon disappeared a few years ago. Is it related to this incident?"

The old prison guard touched the stubble on his chin and pretended that he was also an investigator.

"It's just a prisoner's one-sided words, which is not enough to explain anything."

Locke continued to ask, "What kind of person is Bud Belmon? You should be a neighbor to him, right?"

"Bud Belmont is a famous magician. With his income, he can live in the East End. I don't know why, but he lives in the Old Tom Apartment. Well, he and I are neighbors, but he doesn't like to talk. He He is a taciturn person who rarely greets the neighbors. On the contrary, Mrs. Joan Mancini is a very lively and cheerful person. She is willing to help others and often shares delicious food with us. I guess Joan Mancini Mrs. Nee must have been seduced by Bud Bemon to become his ally."

The prisoner recalled the past, and a blush appeared on his cheeks when he thought of Joan Mancini, "At that time, most of the bachelors living in Tom's apartment had a secret crush on Mrs. Joan Mancini."

Chapter 127, The truth three years ago

"He didn't lie."

Erin can see clearly whether a person is lying through the fluctuations in his soul.

Prisoner No. 263's emotional ups and downs when mentioning Bud Belmont and Joan Mancini were within the normal range.

In other words, the disappearance of 12 children is really related to them. There is no man-eating witch behind it.

Moreover, according to the urine of the public security court, it is very likely that more than 12 children are missing. Otherwise, it would be impossible to mobilize so many people to conduct a long-term investigation of the Western District.

Perhaps in order to avoid accountability, the number of people was deliberately kept low.

At Eileen's signal, Locke asked prisoner number 263 a few more questions.

"There were a lot of missing children at that time, I don't know how many."

"Miss Joan Mancini is very popular with children. She is gentle and kind. Even if they are homeless, she can treat them tolerantly. She and her husband often go out to perform magic tricks. It is common for them not to come back for a year or two. Han Na is very sensible, which she inherited from her mother, and she knows how to take care of the naughty Locke.”

"Bud Belmont is a famous magician. He is good at performing."

"I will never forget that night. In the abandoned Shawkat Park not far from Old Tom's apartment, colorful fog rose. Bud Belmon and Miss Joan Mancini were both in the fog. Among them, there are also those missing children, disappearing one after another in the heavy fog. "

"No one will believe what I say. They will think I'm crazy."

After making sure that he would not get any more clues, Locke said goodbye to Old Lillo and left the prison with a heavy heart.

According to Hannah, her parents disappeared five years ago. Two years before she came into this world, Bud Bemon and Joan Mancini had already left Hannah and disappeared.

So why did Bud Bemon and Joan Mancini suddenly appear two years ago and take away so many children? Why did they choose the location near Old Tom's apartment?

Why did they choose the abandoned Shawkat Park?
