Mary's Nineteenth Century

Abandoned haunted house once inhabited a foodie.

Sagan is not short of money, he and his wife have a daughter.Unlike the norm of this era, Sagan never asked his wife and daughter to be the so-called elegant family angels.

Who said that women can't climb mountains and mountains, they can also freely enjoy the scenery around the world.

The family of three traveled to many places.

Later, Sagan's wife died of illness, and he took his daughter Chris to continue exploring the life of delicious food.The father and daughter went to the Amazon jungle and lived there for three or four years.

Mary learned this information from books.

Sagan published a series of travel notes, which did not sell well, but left a name in the circle.There is a chapter in it that mentions vacation homes in Brooklyn.

The owner of the house leased the house to Sagan on a long-term basis, where Chris was born.Before Sagan passed away, the owner of the house died, and because of issues such as the distribution of inheritance, this place was simply abandoned.

Mary picked the big lock outside the house.

Sneaked in, the haunted house generally retains the character it had disused for five years.Cobwebs covered the corners, a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground, and broken glass windows may have been hit by strong winds.

The word "ghost" in the haunted house has not been implemented to the end.

There are human footprints on the ground, spoiling its eerie mystery.Someone has been here, there are two kinds of footprints, one male and one female, but only one person's traces are shown.

This is not contradictory.

Everyone has a habit of walking, such as heel or toe first, such as which part of the foot is stressed and so on.

Although there are two kinds of footprints in the haunted house, the traces such as the distance between the steps and the force of the steps are exactly the same, and [-]% belong to the same person.

If you look closely, the shoe prints on the ground are completely consistent with the footprints at the scene of several crimes from the pattern to the shoe size.

This proves that the previous inference is correct.

The ear monsters are sometimes male and sometimes female, dressing up as different genders and going in and out of corpse robbery and murder scenes.

There are more than shoe prints in the house.

The room that originally belonged to Chris was empty, with only snail shells left on the ground.

'Whoa!This variety is complete enough! '

Mary looked at the broken shells of snails, including giant snails, white jade snails, garden snails, gray snails, etc., and even the unique carnivorous snails that live in the Australian mountains also appeared.

All the snails died, though.

The time of death was at least half a month. Except for the snail shells, their soft bodies were gone, leaving only strange traces of dried liquid on the ground.

In addition to the reason of natural decay, there is also the fact that it was eaten by a team of fireflies.

Although the snail seems to have a hard shell as a defense layer, fireflies can secrete a toxin from the larval stage and inject it into the soft body of the snail.

This toxin has an anesthetic effect, and it can even melt the soft body of the snail into a puddle of liquid, and then swarms of fireflies can eat the snail clean.

More than that, fireflies also lay eggs in snail shells and make their nests on the spot, fully realizing the beauty of one thing with multiple functions.

Mary found several broken snail shells with the remains of firefly eggs that failed to hatch.

This further verified her guess. Passers-by saw grimaces emitting green light floating in the house from a distance, but it was actually a scene of fireflies gathering in the house at night.

The snails and footprints clearly indicate that this place is the old lair of the Zarer.

However, it is a pity that the footprints in the house are not fresh.The Zale didn't return to Brooklyn for a while, which coincides with the timeline when it went to Manhattan to murder Andrews.

There is a river between the two districts, and the traffic is not convenient.The Zar monster wanted to kill more than one person. Before the hunting was completely over, that person should not return to the haunted house in Brooklyn.

Mary can now basically presume that Chris is the Jars.

The haunted house is not too far from the slaughterhouse where the pig's head and bull's head were stolen, and the cemetery where the grave was dug.

The Sagan family is the last tenant here. Although Chris doesn't live here often, she is familiar with the surroundings.

Chris has a wealth of experience in living in the jungle, and even more experience in catching snails and other insects, making a lot of snail shells, and the rare Amazon jungle blow needle toxin.

What needs to be further clarified is, why did Chris become a gargoyle?

Sagan mentioned his daughter in his travel notes. Although the length is not large, it outlines a lively and cheerful image of a girl.

Since Chris has lived in the wild all year round and should be used to all kinds of insects, why does she hate snails so much?In Sagan's travel notes, there is no relevant account at all.

The cause of mental illness, or related to major stimuli.

Was it Sagan's death five years ago that spurred Chrissy?Or has something else happened in five years?

With doubts, Mary returned to Manhattan.

Regarding the whereabouts of Chris, it is only known that she married to Paris, and there was no news about her after that.

Paris, is in chaos.

The Franco-Prussian War broke out this summer. The French army's combat effectiveness was jaw-dropping, and they were unable to resist for two months. Napoleon III voluntarily surrendered.

In this war, the French army suffered more than 9000 casualties, while Prussia only lost more than [-].

The exaggerated ratio will inevitably cause an uproar in France, and it is almost logical that a coup d'état took place in France.The big bourgeoisie took advantage of the situation to overthrow Napoleon III and formed the French Third Republic.

At the same time, Prussia used this war to complete the merger of the North German Federation and the four countries of South Germany.A few days ago, the German Empire was officially established.

Now, the war between the new French government and the German Empire continues.As one of the main battlefields in Paris, the degree of chaos can be imagined.

Under such circumstances, across the Atlantic Ocean, it is obviously very difficult to find out what happened to Chris who married in Paris.

In November, it snows continuously for a week in New York.

The icy cold wind and fierce fighting did not hinder the investigation of Chris.

"So soon, there is a reply from Paris?"

Mary was a little surprised. Under the current war situation, it took only four days to receive the news.

Of course, she didn't find a relationship to investigate, but entrusted it to another very suitable person, Mrs. Roman who claimed to be from Paris.

Mary seemed to praise sincerely, "Madame Roman, you are indeed worthy of it. Even across the Atlantic Ocean, your influence in Paris is not low."

"I just have some helpful friends."

Mycroft wished to investigate the case quickly, as his assignment in New York was drawing to a close.

In fact, he didn't need to follow up.

Because he only needs to find out Toby's death, and he has already figured out who the instigator of the gold squeeze is, but when conditions permit, he might as well do things from the beginning to the end.

Finding out about Chrissy's past is something within her ability, so why not do it.

Immediately, Mycroft took out a long telegram.

The speed of sending letters across the ocean was too slow, and the only way to communicate was to burn money, and the news about Chris was conveyed by telegram.

In a nutshell, Chrissy, in her mid-thirties, lost her husband Wofford this past spring.

Wofford died of a deteriorating brain condition.For Chrissy, that shouldn't have been such bad news.

——Because Wofford showed signs of suspected domestic violence Chris after her marriage.

The word suspected is used because there is no conclusive evidence, and the attending doctor is unwilling to testify in court.

But Mycroft used some special means to get (steal) Chris's case, which showed that she had suffered multiple ear injuries in the past two years.

"The initial relationship between the husband and wife is said to be good, but two and a half years ago, Waldford lost his hearing in a chemical explosion. His deafness changed his temperament drastically, and he imposed his own pain on Chris."

Mycroft was concise and didn't want to mention the wife-beating scum.

"In addition, there is another piece of news about Chris's father, Sagan's cause of death was cardiac arrest while walking by the sea, but..."

However, the cause of the induced cardiac arrest is related to snails.

To be precise, it was the cone snail, also loosely known as the cone snail, that killed Sagan.The cone snail is beautiful in appearance, and once someone picks it up out of curiosity, it may be stung to death by the poisonous needle it shoots.

This highly poisonous cone snail is also known as cigar snail.As the name suggests, after being attacked by venom, the living person only has one cigar to survive.

Sagan is a gourmet who travels around the world. He is curious about all kinds of ingredients, so he inevitably picked up the beautiful-looking conch snails.The god of death came as soon as he said it, and reaped Sagan's life without mercy.

"First she lost her father, and then she encountered a huge change in her husband's temperament. It was the "snail" that turned Chris into a weirdo. "

Mary already understood the process of Chris's mental injury.It is not difficult to understand that Sagan died of the poison of the weird snail, but why should the snail be blamed for the domestic violence in Watford?

The answer is obvious.

After reading the telegram, Mycroft also understood the process of Chrissy's mental transformation.

After Watford became deaf, he would definitely go to the hospital for treatment.

When Chris accompanied the treatment, she learned that the internal anatomy of the ear was shaped like a snail, which led to the concept of the snail in the ear.

Later, Waldorf passed on his own pain of deafness to Chris, and there were only zero and countless times of domestic violence.

It can be inferred that because Chris had a warm past with her husband, she was unwilling to believe that Waldorf's character was inherently evil, and she would not leave Watford easily.

People always make excuses for themselves.

The devil in the ear is the excuse Chris found.

Deafness led to a sudden change in Waldford's temperament, and there were snail-shaped structures in his ears.Plus, Sagan died of snail poison, which triggered Chrissy's snail aversion.

After Waldorf's death, Chris was not relieved.The death of the perpetrator does not mean that the victim's mental trauma has been healed.If there are external factors to fan the flames, it will slide in a weird direction.

Kris pushed everything to a snail's head.

Snails are demons, and any structure or figure related to them may be a parasitic place for demons.It wasn't the deafness that turned Waldorf into the demon who beat her, but the instigation of the demon in her ears.

Thus, the Zhaer monster, who claimed to destroy the Ezhong demon, appeared.

First, she attacked pigs, cows, and human corpses, but later, because of Andrews' framing operation, she directly upgraded her crime methods.

The line of the Zarmon gradually became clear, but there is still a question, has Chris been instigated by anyone?

"How much of that sheepskin notebook have you deciphered?"

What Mycroft said was that Melissa secretly copied the contents of her fiancé Drew's notes, which involved many occult theories.Although he knew Arabic, he didn't know much about occult studies, so Mr. Minton took the initiative to ask Ying to translate it.

Mary was about to answer when she heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the door.

Then there was a knock on the door.

The Weasley reporter shouted outside, "Mr. Minton, Mr. Minton, are you there? Something happened, something happened to Wall Street! In a conference room near the Gold Exchange, all seven people headed by Will died Yes, both ears were pierced!

The minutes of their meeting revealed that they were plotting to create a gold rush air war.New York is going to be busy, what are you going to do? "

Mary: An ordinary college student like her has no intention of getting involved in this kind of excitement. Of course, she wants to study in peace.isn't it?
