Chapter 5: Split up and the evil spirit of the motel appears again!
After splitting up, Su Fan came to a funeral home.
"Walker Funeral Home, this is it."
Su Fan glanced at the stone tablet at the door as a sign.
Unlike most stores that are overgrown with weeds, this stone monument is very clean and has specially planted flowers around it.
In this sparsely populated town, most of them are dilapidated stores. Such normal places are rare.
But it is not easy to find this place.
The fog that filled the town became thicker after the sun gradually weakened at noon.
If Su Fan was just an ordinary outsider, he would probably continue to wander around this town.
Su Fan rang the doorbell, and soon an old man with gray hair came to open the door.
The latter took him to the courtyard and sat down.
"Are you here to handle the funeral?"
As Old Walker spoke, his eyes were quite confused.
After living in the town for so many years, he has never seen an Asian face with black hair and black eyes.
Obviously the other party is an outsider.
But is there anything else in Ravensfell worth visiting by outsiders?
"No."
"I was entrusted by Jamie Yashen to come over to ask about things in the town."
Su Fan got straight to the point.
“A few days ago, Jamie’s wife Lisa was killed in the apartment where they lived.”
"Oh, this is really..."
Before Old Walker had time to express his sympathy for Jamie's experience, he heard Su Fan continue.
"Lisa's death was in a very strange manner. The entire jaw was torn apart and her tongue was pulled out."
"And, before it happened, Jamie received a ventriloquism Doll."
"He thinks this is related to a terrifying legend in Ravensfield Town, so he asked me to come and ask you."
Su Fan's tone when describing it. Calm, but Old Walker's expression became increasingly ugly, and his old face gradually lost its color.
“We don’t know anything…”
“There are not many old people alive in this town. You are the only funeral parlor operator in the town, so you should know some secrets. Yes."
Su Fan exposed the other party's lies without mercy.
“This is why I came to you.”
"About Mary Xiao..."
When that name appeared, Old Walker's expression changed drastically!
He immediately signaled Su Fan to be silent, and at the same time looked around with anxious eyes.
In this town, Mary Shaw is a lingering nightmare and an unspeakable taboo.
No one calls her by her first name, but "she" instead.
But the young man in front of him seemed to not understand what he meant and continued to talk to himself.
"I hope you can tell me the origin of the ballad and what she has done."
Old Walker understood Su Fan's purpose.
"Young man, you are not from this town, why do you want to get involved in this... Aren't you afraid..."
Old Walker spoke intermittently, looking panicked.
"Afraid that a ventriloquist doll will suddenly appear in my residence soon, and then Mary Shaw will come?"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't come here."
Su Fan was filled with excitement The confident words just made Old Walker shake his head.
Actually, I am the person specifically responsible for this aspect.
I came here this time to break the curse hanging over this town.
Even if he said such words, he could not make the old man relax.
It is not that there are no churches in the town. It is estimated that the people here have already asked the priest for help.
But in the end, he ran away and died.
Su Fan knew that it would be useful to explain this situation in another way.
“You should know very well that Mary Xiao kills people simply as she pleases.”
"Her goal is to kill everyone who has anything to do with her."
"Jamie is her target. Because I said a few words to Jamie, she took her mind."
"And you must be responsible for Lisa's funeral and have a relationship with Jamie. Do you think Mary Xiao will let you go?" Su Fan's tone suddenly changed and became very sinister.
“If you don’t resist, Mary Xiao will be at your door in a few days.”
“It doesn’t matter where you hide, you can’t escape death by pulling out your tongue. End!”
Hearing this, Old Walker was shocked!
"So, are you going to take a gamble, or are you going to sit back and wait for death?"
After Su Fan finished speaking, Old Walker fell silent.
A moment later, when the latter opened his mouth to say something, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Have you seen Mary Xiao?"
The old woman hugged the crow and stared at Su Fan with a pair of cloudy old eyes.
"Were you there when Lisa was killed?"
......
"This boring farce is almost over."
< br>The detective was very unhappy.
This town was so gloomy that even though he only stayed there for one day, it still made him feel uncomfortable.
In order to prevent Jamie from escaping, he followed the former home to visit his father who had suffered a stroke and his beautiful young stepmother.
Following along the way, I also learned the inside story about Jamie’s family.
For example, Jamie’s father was a scumbag who was fond of domestic violence. He forced Jamie’s mother to death and his second wife away...
For example, Mary Shaw’s life history.
But he was not interested in any of this.
What the police detective wants now is to find key evidence and bring Jamie, the murderer, to justice.
As for whether the process is legal or not, it doesn’t matter.
"Hey, I know, you think I'm the murderer, but don't you really find it weird?"
Jamie tried to convince the detective.
“It is definitely not what my father and Ella said. Mary Shaw is real and she has any darker purpose.”
“And, you are now There is no use detaining me, there is not enough evidence, and in the end it is just a waste of time."
The police detective looked unhappy, but didn't say much.
The Simpson murder case has taught all law enforcement officers and judicial personnel in the United States a lesson.
He didn't want to fetch water from a bamboo basket and end up dirty.
“Where is that boy?”
“Su Ta, he’s not back yet.”
Jamie felt a little uneasy.
Su Fan, who originally promised to come back, has not heard from him yet.
I don’t know if it’s safe.
Thinking of this, his eyes were placed on the ventriloquist puppet in the room.
He alone doesn't know how to deal with this thing.
But leaving it out of sight makes me really uneasy.
This is the only last resort.
"Oh, I think he fled out of fear of crime."
The police detective sneered.
What age have you been, and you are still here pretending to be a ghost?
Tomorrow he will put on handcuffs and firearms and arrest that kid directly!
Jamie didn’t answer, turned over and turned a deaf ear.
I have said everything that needs to be said, but he still doesn’t believe me. What can I do?
The police detective saw that he was asking for trouble, so he was ready to take a rest.
Worried about Jamie escaping, he kept his ears open to listen to the movement in the bed next door.
The strange thing is that the house is very quiet, there is no strange noise except the sound of wind.
Jamie was more like dead, not even breathing.
Just when the police detective was drowsy, he saw a strange scene.
The ventriloquist doll sitting on the sofa slowly turned its head without anyone's control!
