Chapter 332 Humans and Dolls; The Caregiver Being Treated
Su Fan, who was standing at the door, had a look of surprise on his face.
He really doubted that Ted would shake his views or even reverse them because of outside intelligence.
I just didn't expect that the other party would accept it so quickly.
[It’s quite a character. 】
The more successful a person is, the more difficult it is for him to accept other people's ideas.
They will embellish everything they experience, and even regard shortcomings as personal characteristics.
Ted's ability to instantly change perceptions and act on them made him an outlier even among the outliers.
However, he should have driven the nurse to do this.
Highly intelligent criminals who are committed to money and social status leave no hidden dangers to themselves.
While Su Fan was thinking, a voice came from below.
"Can you put me down first?"
Darcy's voice was slightly unhappy.
Then Su Fan remembered that he still had someone on his hands, so he put Darcy on the ground.
The latter straightened his somewhat messy clothes, exhaled, and finally thanked Su Fan frankly for his life-saving grace.
"Thank you for saving my life."
She had already guessed what happened through the brief conversation between Su Fan and Tom. She felt that Ted was vicious and sinister, and felt lucky to have escaped death.
"Yeah."
Su Fan had no reaction and just answered casually.
During the brief exchange between the two, Tom had finished checking the safety hazards in the house and came to the door.
"There should be nothing wrong inside, come in."
He walked at the front, clearing the way for Su Fan and Daqian.
"Judging from the condition of the adhesive used for fixation, the deployment time of these traps should not exceed two hours."
"Ted knows about your going to the police station, right?"
Darcy answered Tom's question truthfully.
"Yes, I invited him to come with me, but he refused me because he was busy with my sister's funeral."
"Obviously, he had already murderous intentions towards you at that time."
Su Fan took a look at the bookshelf and many collections that had been rummaged through.
"And he also premeditatedly looted everything in the store. I just don't know if your reliance on revenge was also included."
Darcy's face was expressionless, but she was actually prepared for the worst.
"...Can you help me see if the box under the bookshelf is intact?"
"Empty, nothing."
Su Fan answered directly.
At the previous glance, he had already taken in all the scenery here, and there was no need to check it a second time.
"Not just the box, but the drawer where you store your money, there are only some coins left."
After hearing this, Darcy lowered her head and pressed her eyebrows.
[It looks like it is. 】
When Tom saw this, he thought to himself.
Needless to say, the dejected and sad look of the blind female medium has said it all.
However, this also aroused his strong curiosity.
"So, what exactly is in the box?"
"It's a doll."
Darcy replied in a low voice.
"That doll came from a witch my mother knew. She saw that I had a talent for supernatural things, so she gave it to me as a child as a birthday gift."
"You can control it to do what you want, right?"
Tom continued to ask.
Darcy also revealed the many functions of the doll.
There are five holes in the back of its head. You only need to put in the operator's blood, hair, teeth, and items with the operator's important memories to drive it for your own use.
The doll can move and jump like a normal person, is invulnerable, has infinite strength, and can even share the field of vision with Darcy.
After hearing this, Su Fan also became a little interested in the doll.
If the doll is really as convenient as Darcy described, it is indeed the best choice for killing people and stealing goods.
No wonder the former is so confident that the murderer of his sister will get the punishment he deserves.
Who would believe the outrageous truth of a blind woman controlling a doll to chase and kill someone?
"It's useless to say anything now..."
With the doll taken away, Darcy appears decadent and pessimistic.
"Ted obtained the puppet I held. Maybe now he knows how to control it..."
"We had very little evidence to bring him to justice...
There is almost no chance of winning against a murderer and a puppet master. ”
Not only that, according to Ted's ruthless style, there is a high probability that he will use the puppet in turn to kill himself who knows everything.
"What now?"
Looking at Darcy who looked desperate, Tom didn't know what to do and could only turn to look at Su Fan.
Sasha's problem was almost solved, and avenging Darcy was beyond his capabilities.
Whether you want to help or not depends on what Su Fan thinks.
"Of course I will continue to help. Help people to the end and send Buddha to the West."
A slight smile appeared on Su Fan's lips.
And this answer also surprised Darcy, who was in despair.
"You..."
But soon, her tone returned to its previous low tone.
"The power of the dolls is very powerful. Unless you can get hot weapons such as automatic rifles, it will be useless no matter how many people you have."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have already received too much help from you and cannot let you die anymore."
"Come on, get out of here before Ted does something to us."
Darcy's tone was a little touched, and her persuasive tone was also very sincere.
I thought that the other party would immediately retreat after hearing this, but I didn't expect that what was waiting for me was just a chuckle.
"You know, in the country where I lived a long time ago, there was a motive for behavior that no one could resist?"
"What?"
"Everyone has come."
Because of the incident between Darcy and her brother-in-law, Su Fan left the house and went to the police station, and then went to the store from the police station.
How could it be possible after such a big deal and nothing was obtained?
"But...but the store has been stolen now, and I have no money or items to pay you as a reward..."
Darcy was stunned when she understood Su Fan's intention. She didn't understand why this young man was so stubborn, but she still didn't give up persuasion and explained the difficulty from another aspect.
"It's simple. When the thing is done, the doll will be mine."
Darcy said nothing.
She turned her face in Su Fan's direction, and then nodded slowly.
"Okay."
Darcy finally understood the other party's true intention.
But there was no displeasure in my heart.
The doll no longer belongs to her and is controlled by Ted.
Using something that has lost control in exchange for the other party's help is not a loss no matter what.
Besides, if the other party is so confident, there must be something special about him.
Darcy herself wanted to see how Su Fan defeated Ted. "Now that it's settled, let's set off."
Su Fan turned around and walked towards the door.
"Where to go?"
"Of course the house where your sister was killed."
——
"Is this the treasure you call?"
Ivan, the caregiver, had already changed into regular clothes and was staring at the doll placed on the chair next to the dining table, trying to see what was special about it.
But after looking at it for a long time, I just felt that this thing was crudely made. Apart from the slightly weird and ferocious face, there was nothing special about it.
"For truly precious things, appearances are always deceptive, otherwise others would have discovered it long ago, wouldn't they?"
The voice came from behind Ivan.
The latter turned his head and saw that the other party was flipping through a book with a black cover.
“Did I also get this from my ex-wife’s sister’s antique shop?”
"That's right."
"Damn it, I don't even have any impression. But she is a blind person who can read it, so it must be Braille. Can you understand it?"
"No, everything on this is just words."
Ted held up the book and showed it to Ivan. The latter couldn't see the content clearly, but he could roughly identify the rows of black lines on it, which were the printed English letters.
"What a freak. Just like her sister."
Ivan smiled.
He didn't mind at all insulting the innocent people he killed at the crime scene he created with his own hands, and he could even laugh without any psychological burden.
"Before she died, she seemed to have discovered that I had sneaked in here through the timer camera... Who in the right mind would do this..."
"This is also Darcy's suggestion."
Ted continued to look at the book in his hand while giving his answer.
"At that time, Dani was worried that there would be ghosts in her house, so Darcy told her that this method could record those things."
"Well, it does work, but not much."
So what if he found out, he wouldn't have beaten him to death with his hammer one after another.
"Watch the way you speak, Ivan."
Ted suddenly spoke.
"Have some respect for the dead."
Ivan was speechless after hearing this.
There are things Ted does and thinks that even he can't understand.
For example, he suggested at the time that in order to make the murder scene look more like a random crime of passion, Dani could be raped first and then killed.
But Ted rejected the idea on the grounds that they had been a couple for so long and he didn't want Dani to suffer that kind of humiliation before she died.
This reason is really a bit ridiculous.
However, Ivan would have no objection.
After all, Ted has almost single-handed control of his life and can send himself back to the dark treatment center at any time.
"With the trap I set, she should have died a violent death. The only remaining hidden danger is the one-eyed man who was in the way."
Ivan sat on the chair and naturally led the topic to murder.
"He would have appeared there at that time. He should have heard the conversation between us as you guessed."
"However, no one will believe what that guy said. Do you think you need to take action?"
Ivan was playing with the vase on the table. Although he was asking a question, he already had the answer in his heart.
The man he was talking to was meticulous in his work and would never allow anyone to affect his interests.
Only the dead can keep secrets forever, right?
But the other party gave a different answer.
"No, you don't need to do anything this time."
Ted closed the book, came behind the dining table, leaned against the wall and talked face to face with Ivan.
"Why?"
Has he changed his gender?
Ivan was a little confused.
"You have helped me deal with enough troubles for so long, so this time, I plan to give you a holiday."
Ted smiled.
"The one-eyed man named Sasha will naturally be dealt with by someone else."
"Who?"
Ivan suddenly became alert.
Could it be that the other party has other white gloves besides him?
But why didn't he know anything about it?
From this information, he smelled a strong smell of danger.
At the same time, Ted, opposite him, made a strange gesture.
Ivan immediately jumped up from his chair and looked around cautiously to prevent the killer lurking in the dark from attacking, but after looking around, he didn't see a single figure.
wrong!
A little strange panic appeared in Ivan's heart.
The surrounding environment has changed, and every detail is different.
In an instant, he understood everything!
Doll!
The puppet that should still be on the seat is missing!
At this moment, a pair of inhuman hands suddenly stretched out from the darkness behind it, grabbed Ivan's head, and lifted his strong body without any effort.
"There is such mysterious and charming knowledge in this world...Thank you for helping me obtain them, and goodbye, Ivan."
Ivan could no longer listen to Ted's words, because at this time, his head was under terrible pressure.
With a muffled sound, blood blossomed, and broken skulls and brain tissue were scattered on the ground...
……
A car is speeding along the forest road.
The green trees on both sides act like a barrier, isolating the road from the outside world.
In the car, Tom, who was driving, concentrated on driving.
Darcy in the back seat intertwined her hands and fingers tightly, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Will he really kill the caregiver in the villa? That is his accomplice."
Although the inference came from Su Fan's mouth, she still couldn't believe it.
He conspired with others to kill his wife in his own home and continued to live in the house with peace of mind.
Not only that, but he also killed his accomplices shortly after that.
This is really a bit too much...
"That was the house where two murders happened one after another..."
"So what?"
Su Fan didn't turn his head, but asked with a slight smile.
"With his mental state, what can't he do?"
Extraordinary situations must be treated extraordinarily.
Common sense is not only unable to explain supernatural phenomena, but it is also unable to predict mentally abnormal and cold-blooded criminals with high IQs.
"And I'm going to correct you."
"The relationship between the caregiver Ivan and Ted is no different from the relationship between the doll and you. In other words, the caregiver is just a convenient tool..."
"When better alternatives appear, it's not surprising that this old version of him will be eliminated, right?"
Dolls have higher obedience, better concealment, and stronger strength than real people.
No matter how loyal Ivan is, he is still a human being at heart and the one who knows Ted's secret.
He loses his use value and becomes nothing but a threat. The only result is death.
