Chapter 312： The murderer who surrendered himself

Jim Lord was stunned when he heard this.

Locke's expression brightened.

"Why, Mr. Rhodes, you're not just joking, are you?"

"...what, no!"

Jim Lord recovered quickly in a trance. Looking at the expression on Locke's face, he laughed haha: "I just thought that Mr. Broughton was in a hurry..."

"It was before this morning, and now it is not," Locke said.

Jim Lord: "..."

Originally according to the normal rhythm of the story, the story should be written like this.

Locke found the corpse, and then, the villain, Jim Lord, was furious, and directly arranged for his men to find a way to destroy Anila Katz's body, or make Anila Katz's body disappear again.

That way, things will be fine.

If the other party flips the table, then flip the table and play. You don't need Locke to take action. Carrie can do it alone, and it doesn't take a night at all, an hour is enough.

The rest of the time, pack up your tail, and then go back to New York tomorrow morning, just in time.

This is a written script.

But right now?

Some people didn't follow the script, and it was not good for Locke to straighten it directly. Moreover, from a certain point of view, Jim Rhodes can be regarded as a high-IQ opponent.

the reason is simple.

Bussen Katz's suicide note is untenable. Although the motive is explained, Lake Riley is not open to the public in December, and, if it is really Busson Katz, then it must be It needs the cooperation of people within the Dolan Church.

It's just a monitor, and it's not something Bussen Katz can modify.

Then came the so-called Mullen.

Mullen is a man of the church, and Jim Lord even said Mullen is the fifth-in-command of the church. If Mullen is the murderer and Bussen Katz just doesn't want Mullen to be exposed and choose to sacrifice himself, then It totally makes sense.

Perfect logic chain.

but……

Why do you have to provoke me?

Locke looked at Jim Lord with a smile on his face. He was hesitating, but considering that the chance of survival was determined by himself, he had already planned to follow his own rules.

But, Jim Rhodes had to provoke him.

I just said that you have a high IQ, but I didn't expect that you made a mistake again.

Locke said with a smile: "So, Mr. Rhodes, are you very welcome to participate in your witch trial in three days?"

Jim Lord's expression couldn't hold back a little: "Of course, Mr. Broughton can come to participate, which is a good thing."

"Then it's settled."

Locke said with a smile: "The ticket can be changed at any time. When you come to New Orleans, it is rare to meet this kind of event that you hear about once every 100 years. It's a pity not to know about it."

Done.

Locke left a message that I must be there, and then left with Carrie.

Jim Lord's face collapsed the moment Locke turned around.

Why am I so rude?

but……

After Jim Lord's face collapsed, he was filled with smiles again in an instant, walked up, and sent away Cope, Locke and Carrie who had taken Mullen away with a smile.

"Boss..."

"Shut up!"

Jim Rhodes came over again under his subordinates, and when he was about to speak, there was no doubt that the one who hit the crater directly suffered the depressing fire of Jim Rhodes' nowhere **.

after awhile.

Jim Lord's eyes flickered: "How about Fox?"

"The witch is from outside, and it's well hidden."

"...After letting him find it, don't do it first, give me the information."

"good."

Jim Lord looked at the taillights that had disappeared, took a deep breath, calmed down his inner depression, and then exhaled heavily.

In the interrogation room of the New Orleans Police Department.

After Ian Mullen was brought back, he sat in the interrogation room.

but……

The state is very strange.

in the observation room.

Detective Kaynor flipped through the information about Ian Mullen printed out by the police officer, and then, looking at Ian Mullen in the interrogation room through the observation mirror, strangely: "It seems that since I came back, I have still Didn't say a word."

Locke and Carrie were also in the observation room with signs for temporary visitors.

at this time.

The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and then Inspector Cope Thornton walked in with a stack of documents. Ian Mullen, who was sitting in a chair, pulled his gaze away from his gaze and landed on it. On Inspector Cope Thornton.

"good afternoon."

Cope smiled like an old friend, pulled out the chair, sat down, and said with concern: "Do you need a cup of coffee, the coffee here is good."

talking.

Cope didn't wait for Ian Mullen on the opposite side to speak, but shouted towards the door.

Detective Kaino in the observation room looked at the one in the interrogation room, and was talking to the suspect. His face was radiant, and he looked like an old general who had everything under control. The corners of his mouth rose. Introduced to Locke and Carrie: "Any suspect, as long as Kapp seizes the opportunity, will definitely reveal the truth."

Carrie said, "That's why you like Copp?"

Detective Kaino, whose face was filled with the expression of a little fan girl, was slightly shocked, laughed dryly, and looked at Carrie haha.

Carrie looked at Detective Kaynor. "Detective Thornton seems to be ten years older than Detective Kaynor."

Detective Kaino coughed and said, "I just admire Detective Thornton."

Uh-huh.

Appreciate.

Carrie glanced at Locke, then said, "But why does Inspector Thornton look so... sloppy?"

Detective Kaino was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dryly: "Maybe Detective Thornton doesn't have any other hobbies."

Carrie snorted, and out of the corner of her eye looked at Locke.

seems to say.

Detective Kaynor also knew that Copp had a gambling addiction.

This was the topic of the conversation between Locke and Carrie when they were rushing back from Lake Riley. Locke was inclined to know that Detective Keno didn't know.

After all, according to Locke's analysis, if Detective Kaino knew that Copp was addicted to gambling, he would definitely intervene.

Gwen would definitely do it.

Locke has experienced this. He hasn't been doing well yet. Gwen is sure that he has some psychological problems. Even after he refused to see a psychiatrist, he taught himself psychology. Sometimes, a date can become a problem. Psychotherapy course.

but……

Locke seemed to be wrong.

in the interrogation room.

The coffee is already on the table over there.

Copp also took a cup of coffee, took a sip, looked at Ian Mullen, who was sitting opposite and took the coffee, but there was no movement: "If you want to say anything, you can."

Ian Mullen holds the coffee and looks at Copp.

speak out.

The voice was hoarse, it seemed, with a hint of screaming.

"This……"

Carrie couldn't help looking at Locke.

Locke raised his eyebrows.

The breath of magic.

"What I'm about to say, you won't believe it, I'm afraid."

"You can try."

Cope spread his hands, as if he was talking about family affairs, and looked at Ian Mullen with a smile: "We have time here."

Mullen looked up, his expression pale.

Cope frowned.

"Cough cough!"

Mullen covered his lips, and when he sent his hand away, a pool of blood was clearly visible.

Cope got up quickly, ready to call a doctor.

Detective Kaino in the observation room was also slightly taken aback.

"Wait a moment."

Mullen looked at Cope who got up and shouted quickly, "If you don't listen to me now, you won't have a chance to know the truth of the matter."

Copp turned to look at Mullen.

"December 22, I have no disease."

"The body is great, and the food is delicious."

"But on the morning of the 23rd, I became ill."

"And it's an advanced stage of lung cancer."

"Although I steal and rob, I don't smoke."

"You know why I have this disease?"

"It's not a disease, it's a curse!"

"The Curse of the Witch."

"..."

In a hoarse voice, Ian Mullen told Copp the story between a vicious witch and a righteous witch hunter.

To put it simply, he received a call for help from the believer Busen Katz. Her daughter was a witch, so he gave Busen Katz a plane ticket and asked her to bring Anila Katz. New Orleans ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and then...

During Ian Mullen's witch hunt on Anila Katz, Anila Katz placed a vicious curse on him, sickening his lungs.

It was at that time that Bussen Katz watched his daughter burst into rage, and she could only cry and burn her daughter to death.

The story is wonderful.

The logic is also very clear, can, and perfectly corresponds to the suicide note of New York's Busen Katz.

As to why Mullen's fingerprints were on the body.

It's actually very simple.

In the beginning, Mullen and Busen cooperated with each other, unexpectedly unknowingly, but never thought that Anila Katz had a very good friend who cared about her. After learning that there was such a thing as a tracker , Mullen quickly salvaged Anila Katz from the lake, stripped off his clothes, and carried him into the woods.

"I never thought..."

Ian Mullen gave a bleak smile, coughed again, and spit out blood: "I am guilty, but I don't regret it, witch, it's all bad, the Lord never said that I missed it."

Cope, who was standing at the door, yelled, "Doctor!"

Ian Mullen looked at Cope and shook his head: "This is still a curse. When I was cursed and spoke, the curse had already taken effect, and I could feel that the Lord was already calling me."

talking.

Ian Mullen's pupils began to stretch, and then, the whole person coughed unconsciously, and then, accompanied by the continuous coughing up blood, Ian Mullen, who seemed to be hypnotized, vomited blood while looking at him. ceiling.

"host……"

"But……"

"Why hell?"

"No!!"

"puff!!!"
