Chapter 72 The Truth
"The deceased Dick was a school friend of Duncan who committed suicide before. His mother knocked on the door of his room during dinner, and then saw this scene..."

Elm Street, at the house of the deceased.

The sheriff of the small town looked at the bloody corpse lying on the bed, and looked away with a look of resentment, and introduced the situation of the case to Amanda and Detective Zhou on the side.

Frowning, he walked to the corpse.

Detective Zhou stretched out his gloved palm and flipped over the wound on the boy's body while making an analysis.

"There are many wounds on his body, but none of them are fatal. It seems that he was brutally killed before his death. The murderer enjoyed the process..."

"Oh, poor boy."

Hearing Detective Zhou's analysis, the town sheriff shook his head.

"Is there no one who discovered the abnormality of the deceased?"

Looking at the boy's bloody corpse, Amanda couldn't imagine that while suffering so many injuries, no one in the family of the deceased found out about it.

"No, the mother of the deceased has been downstairs, but she didn't hear any sound coming from the room."

"Found the mortal wound."

Turning over the coat of the boy's corpse, Detective Zhou looked at the wound on his heart and said in silence.

"A wound pierced by a sharp blade in the heart, which appears to have been caused by a dagger or similar weapon."

Squatting beside the deceased's bed, looking at the traces around, the frown of Detective Zhou not only did not relax in the slightest, but deepened a little.

"However, this is unreasonable. There are no traces of struggle around the deceased. Even the pillows on the bed remain as they were, completely inconsistent with the bloody wounds on his body."

It was hard for Detective Zhou to imagine that the victim himself showed no signs of struggling when he suffered such cruel injuries.

"Perhaps, this is not the scene of the first crime."

In such a situation, Agent Zhou only thought of one possibility.

That is, the boy was moved back to the bed by the murderer after he was killed elsewhere.

However, if this is the case, with the blood dripping from the boy's body, no matter how careful he is, he will definitely leave blood stains around him.

However, Detective Zhou's eyes scanned all over the room, but he didn't find any trace of blood.

It was as if the boy was killed by the murderer directly on the bed.

"Or, this is the first crime scene."

Facing Agent Zhou's suspicion, Amanda, who had been silently observing the corpse, spoke.

She stepped forward and turned the boy's face, looking at the remaining fear on his blood-stained face.

"...and the murderer is not the human being we expected."

"You mean?!"

Hearing Amanda's words, Detective Zhou reacted instantly and looked at the boy's body.

The purpose of the two people's trip to Chunmu Town.

There is no doubt that the death of the boy in front of him was caused by supernatural forces.

As for this supernatural existence, in fact, they already had clues before.

Freddy, the ghost of the unknown case in Springwood Town 20 years ago.

……

"Well, two police officers, do you have any major discoveries about this death?"

After comforting the parents of the deceased, the town sheriff returned to the room where the murder body was located.

Looking at the corpse lying on the bed, even though it was not the first time seeing him, the sheriff still expressed his discomfort.

He turned his head and tried his best not to look at the bloody corpse, and said at the same time, "There has never been such a brutal case in Chunmu Town. I need your help."

"So, what happened to that case 20 years ago?"

Hearing what the sheriff said, Detective Zhou suddenly asked.

"..."

Hearing the case mentioned by Detective Zhou, the sheriff's face suddenly became flustered.

Then, he forced himself to be calm and said "doubt": "20 years ago, I don't know what you are talking about, officer, 20 years ago, that was a long time ago, who still remembers clearly."

"Freddie."

Staring at the sheriff in front of him, Detective Zhou read Freddy's name.

"..."

Hearing the name that came out of Detective Zhou's mouth, the expression on the Sheriff's face that he was trying to maintain finally loosened.

He glanced at Detective Zhou in front of him, then turned to look at Amanda beside him.

Then he sighed and said in silence: "I don't know where you heard the name of the police officer, but I can tell you with certainty that Freddy is definitely not a good memory for Chunmu Town. .”

"Can you tell me about the case 20 years ago, and about Freddy?"

From the sheriff's tone, Amanda noticed that Freddy's case 20 years ago might be a little different from what they thought.

Facing Amanda's questioning, the sheriff unconsciously glanced at the corpse on the bed. The appearance of the boy's corpse reminded him of some bad memories.

Only then did he open his mouth to recall and said: "Freddie Krueger, he used to be a well-known middle-class man in Chunmu Town. He came to settle in the town during the most prosperous period of Springwood Town and the peak mining industry. At that time, he He bought a factory on Elm Street in the town to process the mined ore. Because of this, he established a good relationship with the residents of the town. After all, in Springwood Town at that time, 80.00% of the families relied on mining for a living."

"...Everyone thought that the purpose of Freddy coming to Springwood Town was to earn wealth through mining. No one thought that what was hidden under his kind appearance was a devil who did all kinds of evil. After Dee moved to the town, there have been incidents of missing children, but no one suspected Freddy at the time. Until an accident, Freddy's true face was discovered by everyone. It turned out that the missing child in Springwood Town The children were brutally murdered by this demon."

"Because of the secret of the murder, Freddy was arrested, but later he used the power of his own money to buy off the judge, and was acquitted in the final trial. Facing such a trial result, Elm Street couldn't bear it The parents decided to bring Freddie to trial and burned him at home to avenge the children who died at his hands."

"Although Freddy received his due punishment in the end, the dead children will never come back, because of Freddy's blow, coupled with the depletion of mineral resources, those heartbroken parents chose to leave The painful place of Chunmu Town, the town has also declined..."
