I’m A Detective In The Beauty World

Xie Lun was not stunned by the appalling laughter, almost without changing his face, struck a match again and threw it on the doll.

The doll drenched in gasoline burst into flames in an instant.

"Oh my God, what did you do?"

James didn't even care about returning his shoes, his slippers flew away, and he rushed over with one bare foot. He grabbed Xie Lun tightly and looked at the doll that had turned into a ball of fire in horror:

"That's Lisa's relic, why, why did you burn it?"

"Relic?" Xie Lun didn't care about James' angry eyes, and asked coldly, "This thing turned out to be your wife's? When did you buy it? Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"

James couldn't open his mouth when Xie Lun pressed him. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Someone sent it a week ago."

"Who?"

James opened his mouth, discouraged: "I don't know."

"I don't know? A week ago, someone gave this doll to your wife, and then your wife was killed. Don't you think there is a connection?"

Looking at Xie Lun's aggressive eyes, James couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "I have told you these doubts to the police a long time ago, but you don't believe what I said at all, but suspect that I am the murderer."

Xie Lun sneered: "If you don't lie to you, how can you dig out the doubt behind you."

As he said, he turned his head and looked at the villa. Ella was standing beside the window on the second floor of the villa, and she looked down with no expression on her face.

"You came here for this puppet, right? Upstairs, what did you ask?"

"Before I had time to ask, you suddenly burned this thing."

"There is a problem with this thing, you can't keep it." Xie Lun said coldly, "You also heard the laughter from this doll's mouth, right? How could an ordinary doll make such a terrible laugh ?"

James stammered a little, "Maybe there is a mechanism inside, equipped with loudspeakers or something?"

"I think what you have in your mind is the loudspeaker," Xie Lun said in a huff. "Go, ask your father and the charming stepmother to see if you know this puppet."

James was robbed by Sharon and was speechless, and Sharon's aura was completely suppressed. In addition, he also reacted, that the puppet was really wrong, so he obediently returned to the villa.

Seeing the flame on the ground gradually diminishing and the puppets gradually burning to ashes, Xie Lun looked up and looked around. After such a big disturbance, even shots were fired, and none of the neighbors next to him came out to check.

However, Xie Lun still keenly noticed that in the small building across the road, the curtains flickered slightly.

Apparently someone was hiding behind the curtain and looking out.

"How do the residents of this small town feel sneaky?"

At this time, the phone rang and Xie Lun hurriedly returned to the scarlet sports car and connected the phone: "Monica, have you found any new news?"

Monica's voice came in a hurry: "Thanks, that James has a problem. In the case where his wife was killed, he was suspected of committing a major crime. Although he was not arrested, he was restricted from leaving the country by the local police. Now Because he left without authorization, the local police just issued a warrant for him..."

"Don't worry, has James' personal information been investigated?"

"Definitely, James Ash, graduated from the University of Missouri, majoring in Greek, participated in marathons many times, and won the seventh place in the amateur category..."

"I studied Greek in college? It's unpopular. It's a marathon..." Xie Lun snorted, "He is under my nose now, and I will pay attention. But James is unlikely to commit the crime, but I am More suspicious of his parents. What's new about Edward Ash and his current wife, Ella?"

"The town of Farravens is very backward. The town doesn't even have a police station, no church, or even the Internet."

"Church? According to James' stepmother, Ella said that they were married in a small town church."

"Well... According to the information, the church has not sent clergy to the town since more than ten years ago."

Xie Lun narrowed his eyes: "Specific time?"

There was a crackling sound from the phone, and the sound of typing on the keyboard: "The last record was...1990, which is exactly fifteen years from this year."

Xie Lun snorted: "Fifteen years ago, James' brother disappeared mysteriously, after James left home. Fifteen years later, James' wife was killed and James returned to the town. There must be some connection in this!"

Monica said in a deep voice: "I have too little information here, so I can only refer to them at the moment. I will read the paper files later to see if there are new discoveries."

"Okay, the focus is still on investigating the town of Farravens. I have a hunch, I always feel that this town hides some extremely secret dark history."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Xie Lun heard a scream in the villa.

Without a word, Xie Lun rushed out of the car with a gun and kicked the closed door of the villa with one kick. Holding the gun, while carefully watching the surroundings, he shouted sharply, "James, where are you?"

"Ahhhhh..."

The scream is still ringing, judging from the source of the sound, it should be upstairs.

Xie Lun did not immediately go upstairs, but only after simply judging that there were no Tibetans on the first floor, he stepped up the stairs.

After arriving on the second floor, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the whole villa fell into deathly silence for an instant.

At the same time, the lights went out, and Xie Lun's eyes were dim.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Lun fired in the direction of the window. "Boom Boom" two gunshots. The shotgun, known for its huge close-up power and wide killing area, easily tore the thick curtains and smashed the windows, allowing the sunlight outside the house to shine in.

"Huh? Mr. Edward?"

After the sunlight illuminates the room, Sharon saw it at first sight, Edward sitting at the dining table. The old man was still leaning on his wheelchair, his head tilted aside, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.

Then Sharon quickly found James, and saw that he was covering his mouth with his hands tightly, curled up in the corner with a look of horror.

"James?"

Xie Lun cautiously stepped forward and slowly grabbed James by the shoulder. Only then did Xie Lun discover that there was a pool of unidentified liquid under James.

Well, this is a normal physiological reaction of a person due to extreme fright. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

At least it means that James is still alive and not scared to death.

"Hi, man, don't be afraid, it's me." Xie Lun said as softly as possible. "Tell me, what happened here?"

James stared at Xie Lun blankly, and pointed one hand tremblingly at Edward who was sitting on the opposite side of the wheelchair.

Xie Lun pointed his gun at Edward, determined that he dared to make any changes, and smashed his head with one shot. But until Xie Lun came to him, the old man didn't react at all.

Xie Lun carefully pushed the opponent's shoulder with the muzzle. As a result, the wheelchair turned half a circle easily, and Xie Lun took a deep breath.

I saw that Edward's back was dug out into a hollow. From the front, it looks like a normal person, but in fact there is only one body left, and the internal organs are long gone.

More importantly, there was a clever mechanism installed in his body, which was like a doll, allowing people to manipulate the corpse from behind.

"Ella!"

Xie Lun instantly recalled the beautiful blond woman who stood behind him as long as Edward was present. Obviously, that woman was the puppeteer who secretly manipulated Edward's body.

I just don't know where this femme fatale is going now.
