Wine and Gun

Herstal Amarette continued to ask in a calm voice: "Father Anderson's confession once said that you went to him because of the abuse of your child, and hoped that he would investigate this matter, but because he accepted bribes And perfunctory you, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, there were always all kinds of bruises on Beatr's body at that time," Mrs. Talos said softly, "I didn't pay attention to it at first... But after he died, I saw his suicide note, and I didn't know it. Knowing he's been invaded - invaded - God."

She stammered at that word, but didn't say it at last, and there was a sympathetic whisper in the auditorium.

And Herstal continued to ask: "Did his suicide note mention who it was?"

"I wasn't expecting you to lie to the jury, and it wasn't fair to you," McCard told him at the time. "You don't have to say in court that your son wasn't sexually assaulted, it's a lie, you Only a small part of the truth needs to be withheld."

"...a small set of facts?"

"Yes." McArd nodded, "The defense's ultimate goal of looking for you is to prove that, first, Stryder is indeed a criminal, and second, Amarette was indeed sexually assaulted by Stryder. . This in itself has nothing to do with your son's experience, so when they ask questions about your son, you can answer them normally - and you can just keep silent on certain types of questions Fang lost."

McCard paused, and he could see that Mrs. Talos' expression was very ugly. He sighed softly and said softly: "This is not for you, nor for me... This is for everyone in the whole city, after all, any innocent person may happen to be the victim of the murderer By."

"No, no," Mrs. Talos whispered, God, she swore on the bible with her hand before she got to the dock - but she'd also seen those pictures of McCard's crime scene, the horrific dismemberment , Is the cruel torture really the person in front of him?

"...His suicide note only mentioned that the perpetrator was a clergyman of the church, without specifying who it was."

"We're pretty sure that Herstal Armalette was the Westland pianist," McCard said. "It's a pity that he wasn't charged as a pianist. But I believe that the so-called 'victim' ' The argument is just the way he finds himself to escape his guilt."

Herstal's expression instantly became solemn.

- That's not right.

The confession letter from Father Anderson sent by Albarino did only mention the son of the Talos family, but since Albarino went to great lengths to save the address for the Talos family, it means that His family does have important clues. Later news from Holmes also showed that this was indeed the case. Although the suicide note had disappeared after 30 years, Mrs. Talos did remember that the suicide note said that the person who sexually assaulted her son was Slade.

So now, why is this lady lying in court?

But now is not a good time to think about this question, Herstal resisted the urge to sigh, and continued to ask: "So, do you have any impression of such a person - a child who was with your eldest son back then Both were in the church choir, where he learned to play the piano, and he was generally called 'Will'."

Herstal's current situation is a bit tricky: just as Albarino did not find his past until he mentioned "Kentucky" once, it is actually difficult for him to prove himself and the "Will" of White Oak. is the same person.

"Amarette" is his mother's surname, the problem is that his mother and his father are not legally married, and there is no file to prove his parents' marriage relationship, which is how his mother left the alcoholic back then. The reason for crispness.

And his name was changed by himself when he left home to go to high school. At that time, the Internet had not yet been developed to record all the clues. The documents about his name change were probably thrown into the old paper pile of which police station in which state is unknown. .

Likewise, his father had no tax records when he was an electrician in Kentucky, the house he once lived in was destroyed in the plans to renovate the old town, and the school where Herstal attended was closed.

Rather, it's the current situation - his well-documented history goes back only to high school, and beyond that has evaporated from the archives. The status quo worked to his advantage when he didn't want others to find out he was a Westland pianist, but it was a bit embarrassing in the current scene.

At such a moment, he could only pin his hopes on the Lady Talos in front of him.

But he is bound to be disappointed.

"I know you're still hesitating," McCard said very empathetically, "but you see, it's good for everyone...whether it's the citizens haunted by the terrible killer, or the For yourself."

Mrs. Talos frowned slowly: "...what?"

McCard's voice was very flat, as if he didn't know what bait he threw: "I also learned about your family situation before I came here - your three children alive are all married and have children, they Like their father, both became small-town lumberjacks. Your youngest granddaughter has leukemia, right?"
