Hitzfeld created a human outline for them to see. The curse has no effect. "That means it only covers that area..." She breathed a sigh of relief. This was one of the few good news. As long as no one was active in the cursed area, even the most vicious curse could be ignored. But here she encountered a problem. Micky's grandfather, Horus. "I want to go back immediately!" When she arrived at the scene, the sturdy old man was almost pressing down on Darent's face and spitting. “You are illegally detaining me!”
"We are rescuing you..." "I don't need your help! Do you understand? Even if I die, I want to die in my home! Die in a place I choose!!!" "..." Hitzfeld finally witnessed Horus's violent temper. I have to say it is truly horrifying. He was taller and stronger than Jonah, with deep eye sockets, and a gray beard that made his lips look like a tight line. His crew cut and eye mask gave him a clean, sharp, and vicious temperament. Hitzfeld could say responsibly that if a young man faced such an old man, he would be considered brave if he could stare at him without backing off. "Dad...don't be like this for now..." Amazingly, Jonah was also trying to persuade him. This rough farmer immediately showed fear when he saw Hitzfeld walking towards him, and he came close to Horus and began to whisper. The old man slowly turned his head to look at Hitzfeld. The one-eyed man faced the one-eyed man, and the atmosphere on the scene almost froze. "For Jonah's sake, I can cooperate with you a little." Just when everyone thought Horus would pounce on the girl and strangle her to death, he relented: "Including what you said, digging up Johnny's body and performing an autopsy together with Benny's body... All of these are possible, but I will only give you one day." "Horus." Doctor Bram couldn't bear it any longer. "You may not know how laborious and troublesome dissection is..." "I do not care!" The old man glared at him fiercely, and this time he pulled out a revolver and aimed it at the doctor's head. "Horus!" "grandfather!" Amid a burst of exclamations, Horus turned his head and stared at Hitzfeld word by word, saying, "If you exceed the time limit, or you - don't find out anything in the end, then don't even think about getting the reward that Mickey agreed with you. I will discuss other costs with you alone!"
Amazing pressure and aura... After watching Horus and his family leave and temporarily stay at the Ram Inn, Hitzfeld finally breathed a sigh of relief. Boy, was this bastard really a pirate before? If so, he is at least a tough guy at the leader level. "We must hurry," she whispered. Horus was not kidding. He can really do it. …… Just like that, all plans began to accelerate. Sheriff Markan and 22 police officers were called in, led by Darent, to the river beach to measure the approximate range of the curse. Hitzfeld and Dr. Bram remained at the Gebriner home, preparing to perform the autopsy in the wooden hut in the front yard where the rice was stored. Johnny's body was dug out by them. He was buried not far away, behind the pigpen, near the jungle behind. It was cold, so the body didn't show any signs of decay. But when it was actually lifted up and placed next to Bernie's body, Hitzfeld was still shocked. "Mickey." She asked the young man next to her, "Is your brother... this tall?" "Yes." Mickey nodded. "192cm - almost as tall as Dr. Bram." Hitzfeld said nothing, but just kept shaking his head. Some of them are busy. Bram was in charge of the entire autopsy process, and Hitzfeld was just helping him. When the doctor turned Johnny over, she saw a horrible face covered in blood and flesh, with some wounds turning white and foamy. "His face was... shaved off?" "Yes, that's how they found him." Hitzfeld frowned fiercely. The autopsy began. When Bram was doing his job, he was really serious and scary. He treated Hitzfeld as a tool and let her take all kinds of disgusting organs and intestines. Even though Hitzfeld had seen bloodier scenes, she felt she could no longer bear it. So she decided to think of something else to divert her attention. Johnny's face was shaved off, what's the difference?
Because Benny's face was intact, she only had those three sets of organs removed. Johnny's body was so different from hers. Was this an accident? Or was Johnny's curse different? Johnny and Benny, these are the only two people killed by the curse so far. Among them, Johnny's face was shaved off. Benny climbed out of the window and jumped down while being cursed. What causes this difference? She was thinking intently, but had no clue. It couldn't be that someone pushed her down, right? Mrs. Gebrina, Mickey, Chris, Helen, Lily...these five people were downstairs with him at the time, and they had a perfect alibi. Jonah and Berrus were also cursed. Although they could have thrown Benny down and looked at the human outline themselves, judging from the time they had been unconscious, they had been staring at the outline for a while. The injuries were almost as serious as those suffered by Mickey, which proved that they could not have been cursed just now - they were not actively trying to clear themselves of suspicion in this way. If there really was such a murderer, he must have wanted to kill Benny, Jonah and Horus at the same time. This is unlikely. Because it was impossible for him to get past Dewey's defense without making any noise. "Dewey, it's time to eat." Just then, she vaguely heard Mickey's voice coming from outside. "Ow!" "Shut up, you dog. I gave you food and you still want to bite me..." Wait a moment-- With eyes wide open, Hitzfeld began to stare blankly as he held a piece of smelly internal organs. She began to think back to a conversation she and Mickey had once had. I remember him saying to himself - "This is Dewey, our guard dog." "Our whole family loves it, and it has the best relationship with my father." "The next one is Johnny." "This is a very strange thing..." Chapter 22 Pirates' Treasure At night, Bram, who had finished the autopsy, was warmly received by Mrs. Gebrina.
She made bigger lamb pancakes than ever before and asked Helen to carry them to the doctor personally. The purpose was obvious. During this time, Hitzfeld called Darent outside and explained to the others that they had important matters to discuss. "That's enough...is that enough? That's far enough!" Darent was pulled all the way out of the yard by her. He saw the girl glancing upstairs from time to time with her peripheral vision, which was really baffling. “I may have solved this case.” Hitzfeld came up and started to make false claims. "The murderer is Bram and Johnny." "Johnny?" Darent looked surprised. "Are you kidding me?" "No." "But Johnny is dead? His body is all over there..." "That may not be his body." Hitzfeld looked at him seriously and said, "After all, no one has ever seen him die, right? When this body was found, its entire face was scraped off!" "I have been thinking for a long time why the gap man would do this... Now I have come to the conclusion that it really would not do such a thing, because this thing was done by a human!" "As for the bodies, we can check who has gone missing recently." She said calmly, "There aren't many people who can grow to meters tall in such a poor place. It should be easy to check..." "But the details..." "Bram is a doctor and is proficient in anatomical techniques. He can easily fake some human features and even put 'makeup' on corpses. And I heard from Helen before that Bram has a very strange habit..." She told Darent about Bram's love for fishing on Saturdays. "I still suspect that these two people exchanged identities." She said affirmatively, "For example, on Saturday, Bram went to the river beach canyon, and Johnny was waiting for him there. They exchanged identities, and when the eternal night fell, Bram was outside, and Johnny came back disguised as him. He used the rule that everyone stayed at home during the eternal night to hide his identity, and then immediately went to the river beach to find Bram on Monday to exchange identities." "So what you're saying is that Johnny faked his death." "Correct." "Bram was in cahoots with him. Together they plotted to kill Johnny's grandmother, and they were also planning to kill his grandfather and father." "That's it." "...Don't you think this guess is too ridiculous?" Darent looked back at the house, lowered his head, and three forehead wrinkles appeared. "You do not believe?" "Who would believe such a ridiculous thing?!" Darent clenched his hands into claws and placed them under his cheeks, shaking violently. He thought Hitzfeld called him out for some brilliant idea, but he didn't expect it to be just this? He thought her brain was confused!
"My dear." Perhaps feeling that this was ungentlemanly, he coughed and straightened his collar. "Although we are not detectives of the country's police system, we still have to be logical and evidence-based when handling cases." "What's the meaning." "That's the motive! The motive!!!" Darent was almost mad. "Johnny lives a good life, with food and drink, and a well-paid brother to support the family. Do you think he has nothing better to do than to collude with outsiders to harm his own family?"
