"The original owner of Dakorossa Manor is one of them. He secretly placed those desperate women in the manor through various channels. Because of his identity, no one has ever doubted him."

"It wasn't until one day that a report letter was sent to the law enforcement officers at the time, and the fact that the original owner of Dakorosa Manor was hiding the witch was exposed."

"That night, crazy people rushed into the manor with torches, grabbed the original owner of the manor, and hanged him on a crooked-neck tree in the manor."

What the mayor said was basically the same as what Jiang Cheng understood. Perhaps he saw Jiang Cheng's impatience. The mayor pressed down with his left hand and made a calm gesture, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

"Do you know why those people hanged him?" The mayor looked at Jiang Cheng and asked them.

"Isn't it because he is hiding a witch?" Bai Xiaojie whispered, it was an obvious question, she didn't understand why the mayor wanted to repeat it.

The mayor shook his head, and his tone suddenly became strange, "Those people searched the whole manor, but couldn't find a witch, those women disappeared."

"Not only those witches are gone, but also the other people in the manor have disappeared. Only the original owner of the manor is left in the entire manor."

"Did he hear the wind and moved those witches and others away in advance?" Miao Qing put forward a very appropriate explanation.

"No." The mayor continued to shake his head. "Those people have disappeared since then. They really disappeared. There are so many people who have never been seen again. It's like they were wiped out of this world."

The mayor's tone suddenly became low, "In the room of the manor, I found evidence of the existence of women, the clothes they wore, and the utensils they carried, which can prove that there were many women who had fled. Live in the manor."

"The scary thing is that in the room of the manor, a large number of specially made torture instruments were also found, some iron chairs that can be tied to them, whips used to torture people, and various knives. There was even blood."

Hearing this, Huai Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath, the development of things exceeded expectations, "So the manor owner did not come to them to help them, but to torture them with all his means. He is not a kind person, but an honest man. Deduction perverted?"

Fatty suddenly took pity on those women. He thought it would be safe to come to the manor, but he didn't expect that this was the beginning of the nightmare. Now it seems that the missing women were also killed by the manor.

The mayor was silent for a moment, and continued: "When people found the manor owner, the scene was very strange. He was sitting on a chair, and there was a huge eye pattern on the ground. There were bones, dead crows and things like that, and he didn't struggle the whole time, didn't run away."

"He was laughing." The mayor recalled the scene at the time, his face unable to hide the fear, "He was always smiling, and he didn't speak until the quilt was put on the rope."

Huai Yi's body moved forward and asked nervously, "He... what did he say?"

"I'm always here, I'm here with them, behind a door, a door you'll never find." The mayor recalled the tone of the manor owner at that time.

"A door that can never be found..." Miao Qing repeated subconsciously, he was thinking.

"Yes." The mayor nodded, "The angry people hanged him, but as he said, in the end, they searched the manor and found no bodies of those who disappeared."

What Jiang Cheng was thinking about at the moment was the appearance of the manor owner when he was discovered, the eye totem on the ground, the bones, the dead crow... When these things are combined, the first reaction to people is some kind of mysterious ritual, with witches, or black Something about magic.

If it is as the mayor said, the source of the curse of Dakorossa Manor can be determined, that is, the original owner of this manor.

According to this line of thinking, the manor owner is not a simple lunatic, and his torture and abuse of those women may also be part of the ritual.

After Jiang Cheng expressed his opinion, the mayor showed a meaningful look, "Yes, we think so too, he is the source of the curse of the manor, only by finding the door and finding the bodies of those missing, Only then can we break the curse and let the spirits who died tragically in the manor rest in peace."

"There is one more thing, the report letter." The mayor's speech speed suddenly accelerated, "Although there is no signature on it, it was later identified from the notes that it was the handwriting of the original owner of the manor. It can't be wrong!"

"He wrote a letter to report himself?" Bai Xiaojie was stunned.

"That's right." The mayor nodded.

This result further confirmed Jiang Cheng's guess. All of this was a conspiracy by the original owner of the manor. Jiang Cheng even suspected that he tortured the witches ~lightnovelpub.net~ to interrogate information related to the ceremony.

"It seems that the prophecy is correct, you are the ones who can save the town!" The mayor suddenly became excited, and his body was shaking, "A famous psychic once said that in a few decades, there will be a line of People, they can help us solve the curse of the manor and find the bodies of those people."

"A psychic?" Jiang Cheng thought of the psychic he heard from the missing person's family.

"That's right." The mayor showed a nostalgic look. After a while, he continued: "Unfortunately, he disappeared shortly after leaving the prophecy, and the last clues all point to the manor."

It was unexpected for Jiang Cheng to be able to predict the appearance of these people. "What else did he say?" He asked curiously.

"He also left a painting." The mayor replied, "I will give you the painting when you show up one day."

"What about painting?"

The mayor stretched out his hand and took the book Jiangcheng put on the table. After opening it, he pointed to the illustration in the book: "It's this one, we asked someone to copy the painting and put it in the book. I don't know the original print. Keep it by your side, and I'll have someone bring it to you later."

Everyone is familiar with the illustrations in the book, that is, a person was hanged under a tree with a crooked neck, but limited by the size of the space, the manor as the background looks very vague.

Jiang Cheng planned to see the original print first before saying, "By the way, what's the name of the original owner of the manor?" He looked up at the mayor.

"Halson." The mayor's face couldn't hide the fear, and his voice was trembling, "We all call him Mr. Halson."

Hearing that Fatty's body trembled, he looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise, the latter's eyes also became sharp, he remembered the name, they all remembered the name, the gentleman on the bus said that Mr. Harrison was him friend.
