Mage Joan

Chapter 949: Missing

After a brief greeting, the old man of the priest was busy and alive, first healed Donald Jr., then healed the abdomen sword wounds of Godra, and finally performed the "remove disease" to restore the ability of the elders to hear and speak. Accept the trial.

Pinkerton handed Gedra to Sheriff Gleason and his assistants to interrogate the elders, and asked Joan to act as a clerk to record the old toad's confession.

Qiao An readily accepted the new errand, turned out a blank notebook from the storage bag, with a trace of anticipation to listen to the interrogation, holding a pen to prepare the record.

Pinkerton did not go around in circles, and directly asked Elder Samo, including the victims of three murders, including Harel Lancashire, whether they were related to him.

Elder Chemodo was also frank, and did not try to shirk the crime, frankly admitted to be responsible for the previous three murders.

The Marsh Toad and the victim never knew each other, without any personal grievances, and the motive for killing was very simple. It was nothing more than to treat the other party as a prey for the noble children of the family to try in the same way as they did to Donald Jr. tonight.

However, the previous three victims did not have such good luck as Donald Jr., and eventually became a sacrifice for **** trials.

"Camo, you marsh toads live in the depths of the wetlands, not less than two hundred miles from the hot spring town. Why do you have to go so far to hunt humans?"

Pinkerton asked a question that Joan was also curious about, and jotted down the detective's question, looked up at Elder Chemodo, and looked forward to his positive answer.

"What's so strange about this?" The old marsh toad groaned angrily, "The hot spring town, even if it is the closest human settlement to our tribe, not to mention that we have human friends in the town, the other party can always help us The trial site and prey are properly arranged, except for the accident last night..."

"It's funny, old guy, tell me, who are your "human friends"?" Pinkerton asked directly.

Elder Moto hesitated.

"Old fellow, you better know each other. If you don't say that, we have to ask Zadra, that kid is your nephew, right?"

"From the point of view of Gedra's performance in last night's trial, it seems that he is an honest boy, and I think he is unlikely to lie to us."

Pinkerton ignited the pipe and smiled threateningly.

"Unfortunately, the kid's tongue is not very clear, and even people don't speak smoothly. In order to avoid misunderstanding of the testimony, I don't mind slaughtering him, and then ask our pastor dad to perform psychic treatment on his body, You are a magic spellcaster, you should know that there is no language barrier to communicate with souls, right?"

Elder Chimodo shuddered, looking instinctively at the opposite corner of the old man in yellow robe who was healing his nephew—the man was indeed a priest.

After a short period of hesitation, Elder Samo was forced to succumb.

"For many years, our Gurga tribe has collaborated with David Kaufman, the richest man in Hot Springs, many times in private. Offering sacrifices for adult trials is also part of our cooperation."

Pinkerton burst out of such a big deal to him, and it seemed not surprising that he nodded with a pipe in his mouth, and motioned to Ge Moduo to continue.

"The cooperative relationship between my family and Kaufman can be traced back to 25 years ago. At that time, Kaufman was just the manager of a small hotel. He just married the hotel owner's daughter. Woman? I can't remember."

Pinkerton raised his hand to signal him to wait a moment before turning back to Sheriff Gleason, who was standing behind him to hear the interrogation, and gave a meaningful glance.

Sheriff Gleason crossed her arms across her chest, nodded coldly, and said to Pinkerton: "It's the Lady Elena we all know, David Kaufman's ex-wife."

"If I remember correctly, old man, you should have a relative relationship with Mrs. Elena, right? Cousin or cousin?"

"Elena is my cousin, don't say this, Ted, it has nothing to do with our case." Mr. Sergeant replied impatiently.

"But it has something to do with you. Over the years, you are the only one in Hot Springs who dares to fling his face in front of our millionaire. Kauffman complained in front of me more than once, saying that he does not understand why you are inexplicable to him. The prejudice, Gladson, can you talk about it openly?"

"There's nothing to say, I just can't get used to David Kauffman's arrogant style." Sheriff Gleason's face was somber.

"If you refuse to tell the truth to your old friend, I can only think that you have loved your cousin deeply. After many years, you are still jealous of the man who married her..."

"Enough! Ted, you just give me enough!"

Mr. Sheriff severely interrupted Ted Pinkerton’s speculations about the old scandals, and finally restrained the excitement, barely revealing his knot:

"Elena takes good care of my cousin. Our sister and brother have always had a good relationship, but they don't have the kind of private feelings you said."

"When she initially decided to marry Kaufman, frankly, I was dissatisfied. After all, Kaufman had no money at the time, let alone status, I even doubted that Kaufman pursued Iraq. Lina, just to please Jelena's father, that is, his boss."

"Jelena is the only daughter in the family and the only heir to her father's property. The old man's health has not been very good. The hotel business is entirely managed by Kaufman and Jelena. Kaufman married Jelena and inherited it in the future. Hotel, this is a very smart decision, right?"

"Kaufman has always been very smart, and I don't think there is anything wrong with his pursuit of Elena."

Pinkerton said disapprovingly.

"Whether in the past or now, people always have to focus on economic gains and losses. Isn't it normal for your son-in-law to inherit the father-in-law's estate through marriage? Isn't it too much, Gladson."

Mr Pinkerton smiled and breathed out a big sip of cigarettes, and then said: "Moreover, we all have to admit that Kaufman is not the kind of little white face who only eats soft rice. He inherited from his father-in-law, but just a building. Small hotels can be found everywhere in Hot Springs Town, but after more than 20 years of operation, this small hotel has become a luxury hotel in the town and even the entire Midgard colony, which shows that Irene And her father did not look away."

"David Kauffman, smart and capable, I never deny this, but I cannot forgive what he did to my cousin."

Sheriff Gleason hesitated for a long time, and finally lowered her voice and said:

"Twenty years ago, one night, David Kaufman came to me to report the crime, saying that my cousin was abducted by a playboy, left a letter, and ran away with her lover. I quickly went to the police to investigate, and finally On the edge of the wetland, I found the cousin’s carriage, but there was no figure in the carriage. There was only a pool of blood on the scene..."
