[Comprehensive British and American] Almighty Witch

There was silence in the room. Everyone seemed to be frightened by the "Badge of Misfortune" drawn on the page. No one spoke for a while. In the end, Lilith's babbling voice eased the slightly dignified atmosphere.

Burke was the first to speak: "It seems that my intuition is still correct. William Carter's insistence that he just fumbled around in the dark room for two times is very likely to be true!"

But Josh objected: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe it was the 'badge of bad luck' that controlled William to kill Teacher Mary with a knife? Although he didn't know anything at the time, strictly speaking, he killed the person, he The crime can still be established!"

Rolleck nodded. If this is the case, it can only be said that William Carter was unlucky. Who told him not to go sooner or later, but he went when the "Badge of Misfortune" killed people?

Burke frowned when he heard what the two said, and the words of Rowler and his son were not unreasonable. However, although William had no evidence to prove his innocence, as long as the case in Dunwu Street was proved to be the same murderer as Teacher Mary's case, , then William Carter, who has been imprisoned in the State Central Prison for this year, will be acquitted, there is no doubt about it.

From this point of view, even for supernatural cases, the principles of scientific judgment are still useful.

Adeline had already sorted out the whole incident in her mind at this time, and she had some thoughts in her mind. Seeing that Burke and Josh still had opposite opinions, she couldn't help laughing: "What's going on? Burke was suspicious before. William is guilty, and Josh, you think William is innocent; how long has it passed, and your views are actually reversed?"

When Burke and Josh thought about it, it was really like what Adeline said, and they couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not a professional either, so I'm just guessing. How can I be sure?" Josh said while rubbing his head in embarrassment.

Burke patted Josh on the shoulder and explained: "Your thinking is right. Even if the 'badge of doom' is really the fault, as long as the executor is William Carter, his suspicion cannot be easily cleared, but don't worry about it. I forgot, early tomorrow morning, the experts above will rush to the scene of the crime. I believe that with their rich experience and professional vision, they will definitely determine that the deceased died of the same murderer. Until then, they will be kept locked up William will be acquitted without any evidence at all!"

"Yes everyone, so let's stop worrying about William's innocence, shall we? I think the most important thing now is to investigate the matter of the 'badge of doom'. Why does Mary Bell have five?" Bad luck badge'? Did she also meet a so-called 'mysterious woman' who can pray?"

As soon as Adeline finished speaking, Rowler followed her words and said, "Yes, it is more important to find this 'mysterious woman'. The murder case should be left to the police and experts. I am sure that this 'mysterious woman' must be a Wilson!"

Josh thought of the female ghost who was burnt to death in the hotel room they met in the last cass, and couldn't help curling his lips and said, "That's not necessarily Dad, maybe it's an evil ghost?"

When Luo Luke heard this, he gave Josh a hard look. He had never seen such a son who dismantled Lao Tzu!

Burke nodded in agreement with Josh's statement, everything is still unknown now, everything is possible!

"Tomorrow, Josh and I will go to Teacher Mary's house and have a look again. Maybe there are traces left by Wesson?" Luo Luke remembered that someone mentioned to him that Teacher Mary's house has not been rented out yet, maybe she The landlord hasn't cleaned up the things yet?

Adeline thought for a while before saying, "Burke, please send me the address of Mrs. Mary's sister, I want to see those badges, and by the way, see if I can borrow that magazine with the strange stamp. By the way, have you seen the badge of his brother Carl mentioned in William's testimony? Also, what exactly did Teacher Mary bury under the big tree that night?"

Burke nodded and shook his head again: "Carl's badge is still in the evidence bag, it's the kind of badges that ordinary kids like to collect, except for the similar shape to the 'Badge of Bad Luck', there is nothing special about it. Moreover, the badge was indeed found from Mary Bell's house, which also shows that William's testimony is not all lies; Dig up anything, so from this point of view, William seems to have lied again. It may be because of this that the jury finally voted to convict him unanimously. There are too many doubts in his words. The testimony It can't stand up to scrutiny at all, if it weren't for the murder case in Dunwu Street, William Carter might never be able to stand up!"

After hearing Burke's words, several people couldn't help but look out of the window facing the park in the center of the street where Adeline's house was thinking. What other people were thinking Adeline didn't know, but she vaguely remembered last year One night, she seemed to hear the siren outside the house intermittently sounding all night. It turned out that it was on that day that Teacher Mary Bell was killed.

It was already the beginning of the lights outside the window, and the Luo Luke father and son and Burke saw that it was very late, so they left together.

Early the next morning, Adeline had just fed Lilith when she received a text message from Burke: Mrs. Arnold (Becky Bell) Address: No. 32, Palm District, Kada.

Cotton Arnold and his wife can be regarded as a very respectable family in Andrew Township. Mr. Arnold is currently the general agent of a large pharmaceutical company in Midwest Pennsylvania, because his wife Betsy Bell is reluctant to separate from his sister Mary Bell, so For so many years, the Arnolds have been living in Andrew Town.

The Kadavi neighborhood is the so-called wealthy area in Andrew Town. The people living in this neighborhood are either rich or expensive. The Palm neighborhood is considered a middle-level community in the neighborhood.

Adeline took Lilith and rang the doorbell outside the gate of the small single-family building at No. 32 in the Palm District. Mr. Arnold had already left for work, and the two boys were also sent to school by him. Now only Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Arnold were left. The two maids were at home.

When Adeline revealed that she was Mary Bell's colleague and good friend at Payne Middle School, and wanted to visit Mrs. Arnold, the only relative of Mary Bell in the town, Bate Bell saw a sweet young blonde with blond hair on the screen. The woman was holding a cute brown-haired baby girl and was greeting her generously towards the surveillance camera.

Mrs. Arnold also knows that her sister Mary Bell, who has been dead for a year, has been brought up again and again in the Dunwu Street murder case yesterday. During this sensitive period, she should be vigilant; however, the anniversary of her sister's death has just passed, and she is still deeply saddened. Deep in her heart, Mrs. Arnold longs for someone to commemorate the lovely Mary with her, and the identity of Mary's colleague and friend that Adeline falsely claims is just in line with the identity assumption that Mrs. Arnold is willing to share with her.

It's just, why doesn't she have any impression of Adeline?Since she is Mary's colleague and friend, she should have seen this lady at Mary's funeral!Adeline had such a fine face that Mrs. Arnold could not believe that she would forget such a beautiful face.

Therefore, Mrs. Arnold, who was dubious about Adeline's identity, finally opened the door and asked the servant to take her to the reception room on the second floor.

"Hi Ma'am, I am a colleague and friend of Teacher Mary. Look, this is my work card from Payne Middle School!"

As soon as they met, Adeline greeted Mrs. Arnold politely, and then took out a rectangular piece of cardboard with countless irregular line patterns on it.If Josh had been there, he would have been shocked to find that these line patterns were very similar to those on the pentagram stickers.

Yes, this card has been cast by Adeline with the highest level of illusion that she can perform at present. As long as she opens her mouth to hint to the other party what this card is, the other party will immediately fall into the illusion, and they will see Ai Delin with both eyes. Delin wanted any kind of ID that she saw.

Of course, Mrs. Arnold has seen the work permit of Payne Middle School. When her younger sister first started working, she accompanied Mary to the school to get the work permit and other relevant documents.So in her eyes, what Adeline handed her was the work card of Payne Middle School, with the name of "Adeline Scheider" written on it squarely and her smiling headshot.

After reading it, Mrs. Arnold returned the card which was actually an illusion card to Adeline, and looked at Adeline and Lilith with a sincere smile: "Hello, Adeline, is this your daughter? What's her name?" ? She looks so cute!"

Adeline said Lilith's name. When Mrs. Arnold heard that the baby's surname was Adeline, she knew that she should be a single mother, so she didn't ask to avoid Adeline's embarrassment. She just asked her doubts directly. He came out: "Adeline, excuse me, I don't seem to have seen you before? At Mary's funeral, I saw almost all her school colleagues!"

Adeline smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, ma'am, you really haven't seen me. The time when Mary was killed was the most difficult time when I asked for leave to give birth in the hospital and encountered dystocia. Well, if you want to come Seeing that I'm a single mother and I don't have any relatives in town, so..."

"Oh, my poor Adeline, you must have suffered a lot at that time? If Mary hadn't encountered this disaster, she would have visited you in the hospital and stayed with you, dear, you don't have to feel sorry, really of."

Mrs. Arnold thought that when she gave birth to her two children, her husband, in-laws, parents who were not dead at that time, and her dear sister were all by her side. Compared with the scene where Adeline was alone in the hospital waiting to give birth, she felt that this The woman is so pitiful, and the doubts about her have completely disappeared.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Adeline turned the topic to Mary and her relics: "Ma'am, I am really sorry for not being able to send Mary for the last time. I also went to see Mary's residence afterwards, but unfortunately the landlord said All her personal belongings have been taken away by you, and I didn’t know your address at the time, so... After the recent murder in Dunwu Street, some media reported your address, so I just Boldly came to visit you, and by the way, I also want to see what Mary left behind to express my memory and apology to her!"

Mrs. Arnold wiped her tears, nodded her head to express her understanding, then stood up and took Adeline out of the reception room, went to the attic on the third floor, opened the door and said to Adeline: "I put all Mary's things in the In this attic, every time she came back to live in the past, she always didn't like to live in the guest room specially prepared for her instead of living here. Now she... I put all her belongings in It’s here, it’s like living here all the time!”

After Adeline comforted Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Arnold made an excuse to go downstairs to make her a pot of sweet lemon tea that Mary loved most during her lifetime, and left the space for Adeline.

Adeline walked into the attic with Lilith in her arms. The room was cleaned and everything was neatly placed, as if someone had always lived in this room. It can be seen that Mrs. Arnold loves her very much. The only sister's.

On the table was a single photo of Mary Bell taken by the seaside. This was the first time Adeline saw Teacher Mary's true face. She looked very lively and lovely. Such a fresh life disappeared forever In the world, even a stranger like Adeline felt extremely sorry for her.

And the culprit that caused this tragedy—the "badge of bad luck" was just lying quietly on the left side of Mrs. Mary's single photo. It looked so harmonious and natural. Mrs. Arnold also knew that Mary liked these badges very much before she was alive. , specially placed next to her photo.

But in Adeline's eyes, it felt extremely ironic. The murder weapon that killed Mary Bell was so arrogantly placed next to the photo. If Mary had a spirit after death, her soul would be frightened by these badges and would not dare to return. This was her favorite attic room before her lifetime!
