Xie Lun was not intimidated by the horrific laughter, and almost without changing his expression, he stepped forward, lit a match again, and threw it at the puppet.

The doll, which was doused in gasoline, burst into flames in an instant.

"My God, what did you do?"

Jamie didn't even bother to return the shoes, the slippers flew off, and rushed over with one bare foot. Holding Xie Lun tightly, he looked at the puppet that had turned into a ball of fire in horror:

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

"A relic?" Sheron didn't care about Jamie's angry eyes, and asked coldly, "This thing belongs to your wife? When did you buy it? Where did you buy it? How much did you spend?"

Jamie couldn't open his mouth when he was questioned by Sheron. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Someone gave it to me a week ago."

"Who?"

Jamie opened his mouth and said discouragedly, "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 some connection between it?"

Looking at Sheron's aggressive eyes, Jamie couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "I told you the police about these doubts a long time ago, but you didn't believe what I said at all, and instead suspected that I was the murderer."

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

As he said that, he turned his head to look at the villa. Ella was standing by the window on the second floor of the villa, and she was looking down expressionlessly.

"You came here because of this doll, right? Upstairs, what did you ask?"

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

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

Jamie stammered a little: "Maybe there are organs inside, such as loudspeakers?"

"I think what you have in your head is a loudspeaker," Sheron said angrily, "Go, ask your father and that charming stepmother to see if they know this puppet."

Jamie was so speechless after being robbed by Sheron, his aura was completely suppressed by Sheron. In addition, he also realized that something was wrong with the puppet, so he obediently returned to the villa.

Seeing that the flames on the ground gradually became smaller, and the puppet was gradually burned to ashes, Xie Lun looked up and looked around. There was such a big commotion, and they even fired shots, but none of the neighbors came out to check.

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

Someone was clearly looking out from behind the curtain.

"Why do the residents of this small town feel so sneaky?"

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

Monica's hasty voice came from the phone: "Thank you, there is something wrong with that Jamie. In the case where his wife was killed, he was suspected of committing a major crime. Although he was not arrested, he was also restricted from leaving the country by the local police. Now because he left without authorization, the local police have just issued a warrant for him..."

"Don't worry, have you found Jamie's personal information?"

"Of course, Jamie Ash, graduated from the University of Missouri, majored in Greek, has participated in many marathons, and once won seventh place in the amateur group..."

"I studied Greek in college? That's unpopular. Marathon..." Xie Lun snorted, "He's right under my nose now, and I'll pay attention. But Jamie's crime is unlikely. I'm 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, a church, or even the Internet. "

"Church? According to Jamie's stepmother, Ella, they registered their marriage in the small town church."

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

Xie Lun narrowed his eyes: "The specific time?"

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

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

Monica said in a deep voice: "I have too little information here, and I can only check these at present. I will check the paper files later to see if there are any new discoveries."

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

As soon as she hung up the phone, Xie Lun heard a sudden scream from inside the villa.

Without saying a word, Xie Lun rushed out of the car with a gun in his hand, and kicked the closed door of the villa away. With a gun in hand, while carefully observing the surroundings, he shouted sharply, "Jamie, where are you?"

"Ahhh..."

The screaming was still going on, judging from the source of the sound, it should be upstairs.

Xie Lun did not go upstairs immediately, but first made a simple judgment that there was no hiding person on the first floor, and then walked up the stairs.

After reaching the second floor, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the entire villa fell into a deathly silence.

At the same time, the lights were also turned off, and Xie Lun's eyes were dim.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Lun fired in the direction of the window. "Bang bang" two gunshots, a shotgun known for its great power at close quarters and a wide area of ​​damage, easily tore apart the thick curtains, smashed the windows, and let the sunlight outside the house shine in.

"Huh? Mr. Edward?"

After the sunlight illuminated the room, Xie Lun saw Edward sitting at the dining table at first sight. The old man was still reclining in his wheelchair with his head on one side, not sure if he was dead or alive.

Then Sheron quickly found Jamie, and saw him covering his mouth tightly with his hands, curled up in the corner with a face of horror.

"Jamie?"

Xie Lun stepped forward carefully, and slowly grabbed Jamie's shoulders. It wasn't until then that Sharon discovered that there was a puddle of unknown liquid under Jamie's body.

Well, this is a normal physiological reaction caused by extreme fright, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

At least it shows that Jamie is still alive and has not been scared to death.

"Hey, man, don't be scared, it's me." Sheron said as softly as possible. "Tell me, what's going on here?"

Jamie stared blankly at Sheron, pointing at Edward in a wheelchair with a trembling hand.

Sheron pointed his gun at Edward, making sure that he dared to make any changes, and smashed his head with a single shot. But until Xie Lun came to him, the old man didn't respond at all.

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

I saw that Edward's back was dug out deeply and hollowed out. From the front, it looks like a normal person, but in fact there is only a shell left, and all internal organs have disappeared.

What's more, there is an ingenious mechanism installed in his body, just like a puppet, allowing people to control the activities of this corpse behind his back.

"Ella!"

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

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