The villain, the devil, he got the wrong script

Chapter 99 Margaret Rose 23
……

The next morning, someone found a pool of dark things in the woods near the town. At first, they thought it was a charred branch. When they approached and saw half of their fingers on the ground, the discoverer ran away in horror. Woods, ran to the town to report the crime.

Yu Zhe suddenly realized that the work of the arrest operation that Sazier mentioned was not only to arrest those foreigners and traitors, but also included the investigation of some murder cases.

However, the case of the headless body has been closed by them, and all the blame has been planted on the passenger who replaced Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe followed others to the woods where the crime took place. The investigators had several familiar faces, including Finina Pater.

"Good morning, Miss Pate." He greeted her calmly.

However, Finina just gave him a cold look and ignored him.

A man named Corey checked the scene, took out the notebook and pen that he carried with him, and wrote something on it, and said to others: "According to the informant, he found these charred bodies at eight o'clock this morning. From the corpse, here are some leftovers of unfinished clothes, from the material point of view, it seems to be from the town..."

Corey asked another man in charge of the population survey: "Has anyone gone missing recently?"

The man shook his head: "No, missing persons will only be recorded after 24 hours."

Yu Zhe squatted down and looked at the burned and disfigured corpse on the grass. Although it was fused together, it could still be seen that there was more than one corpse.

"Is it possible that it has something to do with that Yu?" Someone asked.

Yu Zhe didn't realize it for a while, but later realized that the substitute they were talking about was now called De Winter.

Corey's face was serious, "It's possible, but he was arrested the night before yesterday. If these people were from the town, there should be a record. From this point of view, they may be travelers who got lost before."

Yu Zhe picked up a scorched dead tree branch, looked at it for a moment, and said, "Impossible."

"Why?" Corey frowned. Although De Winter was introduced by Youdu, he was a newcomer after all, so he was somewhat displeased when he refuted him so directly.

"Their heads are still there." Yu Zhe said, "The heads of the people who died before were all chopped off, but these people didn't. Do you think this makes sense?"

Corey disagreed with his words, "Nothing is impossible, maybe he didn't have time to deal with it, so he just burned them in a hurry."

"Have you ever thought about what the burning means? The murderer wanted to destroy the corpses, but not to let people recognize them." Regarding the missing persons, Yu Zhe couldn't help but think of those who took Margaret away yesterday. He got up, looked To Corey, "Excuse me, where is Margaret Pate now?"

Although Corey disliked this newcomer from the bottom of his heart, he still said: "The person who reported said that Margaret Pete has lost her qualifications as a sacrifice, so she was sentenced to death in advance, which is also obtained by Mr. Udu and The High Priest's approval."

"So, where is her body?"

Corey frowned, and looked at the person next to him, who hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"They usually take the prisoner to a nearby grove for adjudication. As for the corpse, it may be nearby." Corey said.

Yu Zhe nodded and did not continue to say anything.

"Did you find anything?"

"Not at all, I just happened to see them take her away yesterday..."

As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly spoke at this moment: "Mr. Corey, I remembered that after they took away Margaret Pate yesterday, it seemed that they hadn't come back for a long time... From yesterday to now, I haven't Seeing Marcelo and the others..."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they all looked at the charred corpse on the ground in unison.

"It should be... impossible, right?"

Corey picked up the piece of fabric again, he raised his head inadvertently, and saw a shiny thing pressed under the corpse.

He used to want to open the body, and others stepped forward to help.

That shiny thing is a ring.

A man exclaimed: "I recognize this ring! It's from Marcelo!"

"you sure?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, he was showing off to me a few days ago!"

"There is also a female body here, possibly Margaret Pate."

Yu Zhe went over to check. He roughly compared the height, and it seemed that he was not the same as the girl in his impression. He listened to the man beside him reporting to Corey, but he didn't say a word.

He got up slowly and returned to the crowd.

"Miss Pate, do you feel that something is wrong?" Corey suddenly asked Finina who hadn't spoken to him for a long time. He still had some admiration for her. After all, he had worked with her for many days and had a little understanding of this girl.He couldn't help but want to hear her opinion.

"No, I'm just curious." Finina's gaze shifted to Yu Zhe, "Mr. De Winter, how did you happen to see them execute Margaret?"

Corey came back to his senses, "Yeah, how could it be such a coincidence? You happened to appear near the cell?"

Yu Zhe smiled, "The cell is close to the square. I am not the only one who saw them in the square. Why don't you ask other people?"

"Then, Mr. De Winter, if the murderer is not the prisoner, who do you think it would be?" Finina looked at him expressionlessly.

"There are many possibilities, isn't it? Vendetta, love, and random killings are all possible, but considering the situation of so many of them, none of the above should be possible." Yu Zhe shook his head, showing that I don't know. look.

Hearing this, Finina sneered, with a sarcastic tone: "I thought the person introduced by Mr. Youdu would have something special, but it turns out that's all there is to it."

He spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face, "I'm just an ordinary person, not a detective. Mr. Youdu took a fancy to me, maybe I'm lucky."

Corey snorted and snorted coldly: "It's lucky that you can't be on the list of action personnel. I heard that De Winter has a good relationship with the high priest."

"If Mr. Corey thinks so, I can't help it."

Corey glanced at him very disdainfully, as if he saw something dirty, and thought to himself: It's just a little boy with a nepotism, and he has the right to stand here!
"Since there are no clues, I'll go back first. I still have something to do." Finina finished speaking and was about to leave.

"Wait, Miss Pate." Yu Zhe suddenly stopped her, "Before I came to the scene of the crime, I asked some people specifically, and some people said that they saw you and your sister entering the grove here yesterday. Miss Pate, have you seen the murderer?"
