Three people have been killed in a row in two weeks, which is already a major case.
Rumors of the Headless Horseman began to circulate, and soon Sleepy Hollow was given a new name, Sleepy Hollow.
On a cloudy and cold winter day, a young police officer, Ikab Klein, came to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the case.
On the day Klein came, Potters was holding a banquet at home and invited a lot of people, which was very lively.
After knowing his identity and purpose, Potters temporarily settled Klein in his home, and invited him to the study after he put away his luggage.
Potters introduced the crowd to Klein, the unemployed doctor Thomas Rand, the disgraced tomb Steenway, the chubby sheriff Phillips, and the notary James Hardenbrough.
"This is my daughter's fiancé, Shane Chen, who is also a pastor. As for me, I'm just a rich farmer."
Chen Muyang watched the young Depp begin his first immature but serious inquiry.
He first described the case he had, and then asked, "Then everyone, are there any suspects?"
"Of course, we all know that this was done by the Headless Horseman. After he killed three people, he took their heads away." Potter said.
"Headless Horseman?" Klein felt very funny and ridiculous. How could there be such a thing as a Headless Horseman in this world.
"Yes, Officer Klein, please sit down, I'll tell you in detail." When Klein sat down, Potters continued: "When the knight was alive, he was a Hessian mercenary who was hired by The king's court came to the United States to fight, and the purpose was to put the United States under the rule of the United States."
Twenty years ago, it was the time of the American Revolutionary War.
"But he's different from other compatriots who fight for money. He's here to satisfy a thirst for killing. Where there is killing, there is him, and he has a tall black warhorse called Dreadnought. When he fights, he has a hobby, It is beheading. His sharpened teeth are like a demon, which is ferocious and terrifying. In the winter of 1979, this demon was beheaded and buried in the western jungle nearby. He was decapitated by his own sword, and even now, The jungle is still haunted by ghosts, and the brave dare not venture into it. The day he was killed and buried, the seeds of evil were buried in the ground.”
Klein's face turned pale, and the hand holding the coffee cup kept shaking. He's just an ordinary person, and of course he knows fear. He took a deep breath to fill himself with courage, and said, "You mean, this is what you believe in?"
Sheriff Phillips said: "While Priest Sarn was purifying their remains, we saw with our own eyes black magic fires coming out of their necks, so of course we believe it."
Klein's eyes fell on Chen Muyang. In the United States, Orientals are extremely rare, let alone a priest.
"Pastor Saen, how do you purify the body?" Klein asked.
"Of course, with the power of the Holy Light, Officer Klein."
"Holy Light? Are you sure you're not joking?" The oriental man was wearing a white priest's robe embroidered with gold embroidery and holding a white staff nearly one person tall. I don't believe it at all.
Chapter 499
"This is what everyone sees, do you think everyone is blinded by me?" Chen Muyang said indifferently.
Steenway gave Klein a Bible and said, "I suggest you look at this."
Klein opened it and glanced at it, and saw a family tree, and then said firmly: "The murderer will not be a ghost who emerged from the tomb. The murder in New York was not made by the evil spirit."
Thomas Rand said, "You're not in New York, but Sleepy Hollow."
Klein said loudly, "The murderer is alive, and I will definitely arrest him!"
However, the next day, Jonathan Mars was found dead in the jungle, only the body, the head disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Chen Muyang was having breakfast with Katrina at home. After hearing the noise outside, he immediately set off to the scene.
When he arrived at the scene, Klein was examining the body. He was wearing strange props that looked like glasses or something.
"The wound was burned, Jian Feng..."
"The blade is hot and hot, but the wound doesn't blister or zoom, does it? We discovered this when Peter and Dirk died in 983." Thomas, who felt very uncomfortable about Klein's words yesterday rand road.
Chen Muyang smiled and said, "Officer Klein, I will purify the body next, and you will see the true form of the magic fire."
"Okay, I'll wait and see." Klein said with some lack of confidence.
Chen Muyang's staff pointed at the corpse, and a ball of holy light fell on the corpse. Klein was surprised to find that black flames erupted from the neck of the corpse, but it was quickly purified by the holy light and disappeared.
Klein's psychology was greatly shocked. This world actually has holy light and magic fire. In this way, the headless knight is very likely to exist.
Pastor Steenway presided over Jonathan's funeral.
At the funeral, Sheriff Phillips told Klein something that Jonathan was the fifth dead, not the fourth.
In the early hours of the morning, Klein asked someone to dig out the buried body and open the coffin for an autopsy.
Chen Muyang said to him: "Actually, you don't need to be so troublesome. As long as you ask me, I will tell you that the widow Winship was pregnant before her death, and this is most likely the reason for her death."
Klein was thoughtful.
Two days later, Sheriff Phillips was beheaded by the Headless Horseman, while Klein passed out not far from the corpse.
Chen Muyang gave him a Concentration Pill, and this poor guy who was frightened by the Headless Horseman finally got his mind back.
"I saw him and saw with my own eyes that he chopped off Phillips' head in front of me!" Klein exclaimed in horror.
Chen Muyang cast Holy Light on him, and the power of Holy Light finally dispelled the fear in his heart.
"Officer Klein, what are your plans next?"
"I'm going to the western jungle to find the Headless Horseman, find his tomb, and do my best to fight against this murderous madman!"
Chen Muyang said, "Officer Klein, don't you feel something is wrong?"
"What?" Klein was a little surprised.
"Why did the Headless Horseman let you go after killing Phillips? You must know that he is a murderous maniac who is bloodthirsty and murderous. There is no reason to kill only one, but he let you go."
Klein sat up abruptly and said, "Don't tell me, I really haven't thought about this, why did he let me go?"
Chen Muyang said: "Next, let's analyze these people who died. Peter Van Galle, his son Dirk Van Galle, the pregnant widow Winship, Jonathan and the sheriff. We know that the sheriff will Died because he told you about widow Winship's pregnancy. So why did Jonathan die?"
Klein got out of bed immediately and said, "Go and ask Maas!"
Soon, Chen Muyang and Klein found Maas, and Klein asked, "Is your father related to the Van Galle family?"
Little Mars said: "He worked for them, and we lived in the coach house. But Peter and Dirk had an argument a week before the murder, and then my father called the lord to run some errands."
Chen Muyang said: "So we got in touch. Next is Winship, she is a widow, so who made her pregnant? The child in her womb has not yet been born, what is the reason for this unborn child to have such a thing? A huge threat that made him have to die?"
"Wealth! Inheritance!" Klein spit out two words, and then said hurriedly: "All the people who died are related to the wealth of Van Gaal and the Fantasso family! Some people are behind the manipulation of no one for these wealth. The head knight kills everyone who can inherit the inheritance or have a connection with the inheritance."
"Very good, Officer Klein, then who is this person?"
"It must be someone who has the right to inherit. The father and son of the Van Galle family are dead. The murderer is in the Fantasso family. Potters is already a wealthy owner, so he can't commit the crime, so there are only two people who are most suspected, Fan Tasso's family. Madame Tasso, and Miss Katrina."
Chen Muyang shook his head and said: "Katrina can rule it out, she is my fiancee, I know her, she will not do such a thing. You know, she doesn't have to do anything, just wait for Potters to die, according to the will, The wealth automatically belongs to her."
"Then there is only one suspect, Mrs. Mary!" Klein shouted.
