"When the police came to Hunnam Manor, except for the hostess Edith, a total of five bodies were found."

Roger opened the documents Henrik copied from the police station, and the stumps spelled out in the photos made people look extremely uncomfortable.

"With the exception of Edith, everyone else's bodies were dismembered. To be honest, this is not a small project."

"A gardener, two maids, a cook, and a housekeeper."

"Two men and three women. According to what those gangsters said, we can basically confirm that the evil spirit wandering in the manor should be a woman."

"Because everyone used the word female ghost to describe it at the same time, in addition to long hair, blood-stained skirt and so on."

One of the documents in Roger's hand was one of the two maids. It was a woman named Lucille. She had a better appearance, with big black and white eyes on a fair face.

"Generally speaking, in addition to using special mysterious rituals, the conditions for the formation of ghosts are relatively harsh. Strong emotions before death are an important condition for the formation of ghosts."

"This is why in most people's cognition, evil spirits are women, because women are more emotional, and their emotional peaks are also greater."

The profile of this woman named Lucille is very ordinary. She was originally just an ordinary female worker with two children at home. It happened that the previous maid resigned and she replaced her.

After entering Hannam Manor for a few months, the salary was generous and the work was easy. Unfortunately, this kind of life lasted not long before she was brutally killed.

Her family background is normal, although her education level is not high, and she has some minor conflicts with her husband, but she is not the kind of woman with a gloomy personality and a tragic past.

It can be said that such a person, even if there is an accident, the possibility of becoming an evil spirit is very low.

The other maid was a slightly chubby, middle-aged woman who looked kind. She and the cook were sisters. According to the data, the two sisters were friendly and had almost no conflicts with their neighbors.

None of the three women seem to have the external conditions to become ghosts.

Turning to the next page of the information, a line of words caught Roger's attention.

"This shows that Hannum brutally killed the five people in the manor after knocking them unconscious. In other words, these people didn't experience any pain before they died."

Roger pointed to the text on the information, "It should be difficult for this kind of person who died in a daze to have strong emotional fluctuations before dying?"

"The analysis makes sense." Henrik nodded, "But this is only one aspect. In rare cases, strong resentment will still lead to the birth of ghosts."

"However, the five people who died in Hunnam Manor are obviously not among them."

"Keep looking down."

"Through the follow-up analysis by the police, we don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The amount of hallucinogen Hannam gave to the five people in the manor was not much."

Thinking of a terrible consequence, Roger gasped, "In other words, it is possible for them to watch themselves being dismembered in a relatively sober state?"

"It's not possible."

"Through the state of some muscles on their bodies, forensic doctors can easily judge it."

Henrik sighed.

"To be honest, under such circumstances, even if all five of them evolve into evil spirits, there is nothing surprising."

"Okay." Roger held the not-too-thick paper but felt heavy, as if every piece of paper here was soaked in blood.

"Let's go." Henrik closed the file and started the car. "Let's visit them one by one. There are some problems that cannot be reflected in the text."

According to the address on the document, the two first came to the house of the maid named Lucille. The documents opened the way, and they met Lucille's husband without any effort.

A middle-aged man with a tired expression could faintly hear the crying of a child in the room, but he didn't seem to care about it at all, he just rubbed his face in pain.

Leaving Lucille's home, Roger crossed her name off the candidate list, and then the two rushed to the home of the cook and another maid without stopping.

After some conversation, they left there again.

"Did you really make your kid guess right?"

Henrik lit a cigarette.

All three women were excluded, leaving only one target, Edith.

Edith is a beautiful blond beauty. From the photos, she is no more than 30 years old. Considering that she and Hunnam have been married for several years, that is to say, when she married Hunnam The age gap between them is nearly 40 years!

"It's really a man of wealth and a woman of beauty."

"This woman is not a local, and no one knows her origin, so there is not much information that can be found."

"If there is really no other way, we can only target her and try again at night."

"According to the records, this Edith should have died of illness. Hunnam cared for her very much during his lifetime, and she should have no regrets in leaving."

Henrik said, "Of course, if your guess is correct, then Edith is indeed the most likely one."

Roger originally thought that this mission would be very simple, just like in the game, accept the mission, reach the target area, kill monsters, and then go back to hand in the mission.

But the reality is much more complicated than the game. It has been more than a day here, but they haven't even figured out the identity of the evil spirit, and they don't even know if there is a so-called black hand behind it.

"Why don't we investigate Hunnam?"

"Is he the only living insider?" Roger asked suddenly.

"That guy is crazy. I called to confirm before."

"What if... he was in disguise?"

"Impossible." Henrik shook his head.

"The current psychiatric testing of the Federation is relatively authoritative, and the information sent by the madhouse is also very detailed, so this situation can basically be ruled out."

Although Henrik said so, he always felt a little uneasy without seeing him in person.

Put out the cigarette in your hand.

"Forget it, let's go and have a look, anyway, we don't have a better idea now."

Henrik starts the car.

The mental hospital in Marsh Town is not in the center of the town, but in the depths of the swamp 70 kilometers away from the town.

It was approaching noon, and the two bought some food on the road. Roger even took a moment to squint for a while. When he woke up, the car had already stopped in front of an iron gate.

The exaggeratedly high wall is surrounded by a large piece of wasteland. Even if a patient escapes from this kind of place, he will definitely lose his way within twenty miles.

If it is at night, it is even possible to stumble and die in the swamp.

After Henrik rang the doorbell and reported his identity, the car drove into the madhouse.

At some point, the sky became gloomy again, and the black clouds pressed down, as if they were going to swallow the entire madhouse in one go.
