Chapter 57
In the living room, the servants were screened out early, leaving only the Bartley family, husband and wife two people, sitting next to a man who was covered in a cloak.
“Zier, when Fran comes back later, you have to go to the resuscitation church in McGill Town. The doctor’s current condition cannot cure her daughter, and she must have the help of the church.”

Mirana · Bartley, holding a silk handkerchief with a few wet marks on it, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, I feel pity.
“I…how do I tell them that my daughter has become a monster, please save her? Hmph, a girl, who did such a thing, likes that person Do you have to use this method? You told me earlier that even with money, I can smash that kid by her side, what is that? You know what that method means… yes, You know what that means, why didn’t you stop her sooner!”
Zier Bartley, leaning against the sofa, blushed, the wine glass clenched in his hand and the wine on the table already mostly empty The bottle proved that he had drunk quite a bit.
“Zier! I only found out later, am I not making amends now? You father sit here drinking? keep on saying that as long as Audrey can come back, you will do anything Pay, now that she’s back, who are you showing such a stinky face again? If you don’t want to save Audrey, I’ll go by myself!”
The woman sat on the other side and put her arms around her. The man in the cloak accidentally sat on the cloak and inadvertently pulled it down halfway, exposing the brown corners, causing the people below to hurriedly tore off the cloak to cover it up, and after a while, there was another cry.
Zier · Bartley looked at their mother and daughter in pain and pain, holding the wine glass with too much force and turning white, is he a person with a hard heart?
His daughter has turned into the ghost she is now. As the owner of this family, he is also uncomfortable. He regretted it, regretted hiding that incident at the beginning, and now he has turned it around and punished his daughter. , why didn’t he find that those things were left on purpose!
If I had been more ruthless at the beginning, how could it be today?
Those two gentlemen and Aldridge have lost three lives. How much will this time be paid to pacify them?
It’s a pity that there is no fruit called “if” on this world.
“I understand, I understand… When Fran Chazzo comes back, Audrey and I will go to McGill Town, Mirana, you go upstairs to pack up, I will take the valuables You should know where it is, let’s get out of here and go somewhere else.”
What else can I do? He couldn’t take his wife and daughter to the police station to guard himself. He couldn’t do such a thing, and he was also responsible for the consequences of the last cover-up.
Squeak
There was a sound from the door, the three people in the living room turned their heads involuntarily, and the crying under the cloak stopped.
The door opened inward, and three silhouettes stood at the door, taking off his dripping coat, Donald with a goat horn on his waist, and a cloth bag in his hand, looking towards Xia on their side. Locke and old Hooper, who was as steady as ever with a double-barreled shotgun behind him.
“Mr. Bartley, we’ve settled the case, Miss Audrey… don’t we need help?”
Sherlock, as a detective, is now The person who is most suitable to speak, walked into the living room, glanced at the person beside Mrs. Bartley, covered up, and had a bottom line.
“Well, it’s true… it’s true, Audrey has come back. Could it be Aldridge who killed him? He’s such a… ungrateful guy.”
The drink was swallowed in his throat, Zier Bartley responded to Sherlock’s question with some difficulty, his eyes turned to his wife, what’s going on?
“Mr. Swift, did you see my maid on your way back? I sent her to meet you.”
How did they come back alive…
How could they come back alive!
“I didn’t see any maids, none of them, Donald, did you?”
“No, we just caught up with Aldridge, who was in the woods for a crime Suicide and left this, I think it’s a goat’s horn? What a strange person.”
Both sides are well aware of the current situation, but they didn’t pierce that layer of window paper.
If the matter of this case is revealed, the resuscitated church in McGee will inevitably intervene, and there will be taboo ceremony in their own parish. In their eyes, it is a very serious blasphemy and offense to the gods, when the time Anyone who comes involved in this case will be investigated.
As the discoverers of clues and those who have direct contact with the two monsters, they are very likely to be included in the list of special objects by the government and the church. The consequences of this situation do not need to be thought about. is extremely troublesome.
Hopper is okay, he is the savior, but Sherlock and Donald have their own secrets, and they don’t want to expose them anyway.
Therefore, the three negotiated in advance, and the matter was handed over to Sherlock. He claimed to have friends in the government department, and he could let them handle this matter privately. Go to a lot of trouble.
Donald involuntarily thought of the three apostles he met in the warehouse area. In his memory, they should be the people who are specially responsible for this type of case. Does Sherlock have any connections in this area?
This is a bit unexpected to Donald, the fact that Sherlock didn’t have amnesia in the last case seems to have a new probability.
“Since that’s the case…I’m going to pay the two of you, I think you guys also want to go home earlier?”
Zier Bartley misunderstood Donald and the Others, he felt that these three people should have seen something they should not see, and wanted to make the major event small and trivial.
This is normal, after all, the other party is a private detective, responsible for completing the employer’s entrustment, not digging up some indecent things, so he is ready to be “slaughtered”.
“Mr. Bartley, I think we may need to re-develop the remuneration between us.”
Sherlock dragged a chair from the side of the living room and sat down. If only money was needed, Their previous Life and Death Battle was too cheap:
“The maid didn’t see it, the monster we met two, I don’t know how they appeared, but well… It’s something interesting.”
Opening the bag beside him, he took out a hair accessory (Fran Chazzo’s headdress), a photo (found in Audrey’s room) ), it’s a big deal here.
“We are willing to pay the corresponding remuneration, please don’t worry, we must satisfy the three.”
Mirana Bartley, who has been silent all the time, saw these two distinct things, and finally endured it. Can’t stop talking, it turns out that Fran didn’t find them…
She was scared, she knew best about Fran Xiazuo’s situation, that was her until now!
Seeing the unease and panic on each other’s faces, Sherlock and Donald looked at each other, both relaxed.
Mirana Bartley is not a true heretic, or her ability is all in her maid.
What they were most afraid of at this time was that Fran Xiazuo was just a scoundrel under the opponent’s hands. All three of them had their firearms on, and the horses were just outside the door.
If the other party really has a backer, in their current state, I am afraid they can only run.
“Here is 100 gold pounds, all the cash I can take out of my house now, this is…monster’s summon method, all, no reservations, what do the other three think? As long as the Ryffindor farm has it, you can take it as you like, I just hope the three of you can let me go and don’t report it to the police…”
There are two boxes on the table. The larger one is full of coins, both banknotes and coins, and the smaller box has a folded piece of paper, with small black characters on it.
After knowing that things were irreversible, Zier Bartley made a low profile, 100 gold pounds, this money is not much for a capitalist, but for a farmer, this is A sum of money that is enough to affect the business in the next few years, he said that there is only so much he can come up with at present, which is not a lie.
“Zier…without it, I…”
Mrs. Bartley’s eyes wandered over the box of forbidden ceremony methods, she wanted to say something.
Is there a ceremony or magic that keeps youth forever after changing appearance? In this world of bizarre and motley, no one can tell.
But it’s important to understand that there is never a free lunch, wanting to do things beyond the reach of human beings.
Not paying the price? how is this possible!
“Mr. Bartley, I think you may have misunderstood, come up with these two distinct things, I don’t want to use it to threaten you with something, I actually want to threaten you, and these things can’t be used at all, Miss Audrey’s use of the taboo ceremony is enough for the government to investigate thoroughly. I just have a question that I need your help to answer… In the case of the shredded corpse on the roof, was this lady involved or not? That’s what she planned!”
Sherlock’s expression remained unchanged, if he really wanted to threaten this family, he wanted to send him away with the information he had, 100 gold pounds and a sinister ceremony letter?
“Of course it doesn’t matter, my wife did make mistakes in the past, but how will not kill, that’s the bottom line, we will never kill, just like my daughter, even if it becomes like this, At most, it only hurts cattle and sheep.”
“I just want to ask for the 10 deceased people who have been dismembered, if there is any other guy who killed them except the monster at large.”
Donald’s eyes turned to the Bartleys, a number he had learned from Golem and told Sherlock later.
“The police station has already closed the case, hasn’t it, the murderer has been brought to justice, and the 10 victims have already rested in peace… Don’t a few still believe the government’s verdict?”
“But the newspaper said that the police only found 7 bodies at the murder scene, what should I do? Do you know where the other 3 dead are?”
This is In the middle, no one thought about it originally, but the appearance of Fran Xiazuo is really fascinating.
Zier · Bartley was stunned. It’s not that he hadn’t read the newspaper about the corpse dismemberment case, but he didn’t have a deep memory when he knew that 7 was a fake number.
And this 10, he doesn’t know how to explain it!
