flame!

The flames soared into the sky!

Smoke billows endlessly!

On the open space not far ahead on the side of the road, on a pile of burning firewood, a bound figure was struggling violently in the flames, and the mourning sound also came from the other party's mouth.

It's just that the sound is rapidly fading away.

The next moment, there was no sound.

All that was left was the crackling of fire, wood and grease as it collided.

parking!

Hall's loud shout awakened the overwhelmed coachman. The coachman pulled the reins and stopped the carriage firmly. Before the carriage could stop, Jason and Hall jumped out of the carriage.

At the same time, the MF92 pistol appeared in Jason's hands.

There is no doubt that this is a homicide.

The bushes that were specially cleared, the firewood, and the bound people were all telling Jason all this.

And the murderer who made this murder is very likely still nearby!

Without needing Jason's reminder, Detective Hall pulled out the revolver and walked forward while looking around vigilantly.

But nothing happened until the two walked to the person who had already been burned to death.

The killer was neither seen nor in any danger.

As a police detective, Hall kicked away the still burning firewood, and then shouted at the driver, Is there a tool like a shovel?

Yes, yes.

The coachman stammered and unlocked the toolbox from under the coachman's seat. There were short-handled shovels, wrenches, and other tools prepared to deal with accidents such as damage to the carriage and road blockage.

The coachman picked up one of the short shovels and ran over in a staggering manner, and also fell during the process.

Obviously, the other party was frightened by the scene in front of him, and could no longer maintain the role of a luxury merchant driver.

In fact, it goes without saying that these people who have just been hired and have not yet integrated into the upper class, even those who are really in the upper class, are absolutely unable to remain calm when they see the scene in front of them.

The driver in front of him handed the shovel to Hall, without any intention of helping, he turned around and ran to the side of the road, bent over and vomited.

At this time, the other party has long forgotten his identity.

If I can, I really want to get out of here right away.

Jason glanced at the vomited coachman and ignored it, and also ignored Hall who put out the fire. He frowned and looked around.

The scene in front of me is really strange!

The road on the outskirts of the city where they are located is straight, there are no forks, and there are bushes and woods on both sides of the road. According to common sense, since the other party has time to clear an open space, why not the other party go deeper and choose a more For hidden, unknown places? Instead, he chose the side of the suburban road that is easily exposed?

Or, why not use other methods?

Do you have to use the most cruel and conspicuous method of 'burning at the stake'?

It also happened to be when we were passing by!

Show off?

Jason, who thought of something, frowned more and more tightly, and he walked quickly to the side of the coachman who was still vomiting.

Hello, are there many people passing by this road?

Jason asked gently.

not much.

Because this only leads to Fleighton Manor.

If I didn't visit the manor, I wouldn't go here at all, but the host has already declined most of the guests, especially after expelling some former friends, no one has come here.

It was the first time that the driver who encountered such a tragic corpse didn't dare to hide it at all. He wiped his mouth and answered Jason's question fearfully. He even said some things that a servant should never say.

Um,

thanks.

Jason nodded, he already had some guesses in his heart.

The other party's arrangement like this is likely to be aimed at them.

According to Detective Hall, Fleighton, who lives in isolation, is basically not visited by anyone.

And just now, Fullerton was kidnapped again!

Therefore, the only person passing by here may be a police detective.

After a lot of trouble, the other party wanted to let the detective see the scene in front of him!

As for why?

Almost subconsciously, Jason thought that the kidnapped rich man Freighton had also suffered a fire.

Revenge?

While thinking, Jason subconsciously walked to the edge of the open space.

The previously felled shrubs and trees are neatly piled here, and the fractures are neat, whether it is a shrub with small branches or a tree trunk with the thickness of Haiwankou.

Jason squatted there, carefully examining the remaining traces on the broken trunk.

On each tree trunk, the axe is placed on the left side, and the opponent's dominant hand is the left hand.

Basically, with two or three strokes, the opponent can chop down a tree. Obviously, the opponent is very strong.

Judging from the height of the remaining tree stump, although the opponent is strong, he is not tall and should be similar to ordinary people.

Jason, who came to these conclusions, turned around and continued walking along the edge of the clearing.

He hoped to find traces like footprints, but found nothing.

After searching again and confirming that there were no clues, Jason walked towards Hall.

By this time, the fire had been put out, revealing the charred and unrecognizable corpse inside.

Detective Hall frowned and squatted in front of the corpse, trying to find some clues from the corpse. However, even the most experienced police detective, faced with a corpse that had been burned to such a degree, Hall would not be able to do anything. .

Damn!

How could such a thing happen!

Hall was annoyed by the murderer's brutality, and was thinking about how to solve it.

If you want to find the murderer of the murder, you must start with the scorched corpse in front of you. According to his experience, as long as the identity of the corpse is found out, the murder is equivalent to half of the murder.

And this requires a lot of manpower!

However, at this moment, sheriff Bundy is leading most of the people to find the whereabouts of those monsters, and it is too difficult for the remaining people to complete the investigation.

Hall, who was in trouble, happened to see Jason coming over. Thinking of Jason's appearance on the scene just now, the detective couldn't help asking:

Mr. Jason, have you found anything?

Is Fullerton left-handed?

The height is about the same as ordinary people, but very strong?

Jason didn't answer directly, but asked Hall instead.

Yes.

Detective Hall nodded. Then, the detective subconsciously looked at the felled trees in the distance, and then looked at the charred corpse at his feet. He was not an idiot, and the well-operated detective was quick. what came to mind.

You mean...

Hall asked tentatively.

As you think.

That's what the scene told me.

Just one thing that I can't figure out.

With that said, Jason frowned again.

And Hall hurriedly asked:

Which point?
