Three people were killed in a row in two weeks. This is already a major case.
Rumors of the Headless Horseman began to circulate, and soon afterward Sleepy Valley had a new name, the Valley of the Headless.
A young police officer, Iqab Klein, came to Sleepy Hollow on a dark and cold winter day. He was responsible for investigating the case.
On the day Klein came, Potters was hosting a banquet at home and invited many people, which was very lively.
After knowing his identity and purpose, Potters temporarily settled Klein in his home, and after he put his luggage, he invited him to the study.
Potters introduced everyone present to Klein, the unemployed doctor Thomas Rand, the prestigious burial chamber Stingway, the chubby sheriff Phillips, and the notary James Hardenbrough.
"This is my daughter's fiance, San Chen. He is also a pastor. As for me, it's just a rich farmer."
Chen Muyang watched the young Depp start his first immature but serious inquiry.
He first narrated the facts of the case he had, and then asked: "So everyone, are there any suspects?"
"Of course, we all know that this was done by the Headless Horseman. After killing three people, he took their heads away." Potters said.
"The headless horseman?" Klein felt funny and absurd. How could there be such a thing as a headless horseman in this world.
"Yes, Officer Klein, please sit down, let me tell you in detail." When Klein sat down, Potters continued: "When the knight was alive, he was a Hessian mercenary. He was hired. The king of dé came to the United States to fight in order to put the United States under the rule of Ying."
Twenty years ago, it was the time of the US War of Independence.
"But he is different from other compatriots who fight for money. He came to satisfy his bloodthirsty psychology. Where there is killing, he is there. He has a tall black horse called Wuwei. He has a hobby when he fights. It was beheading. His sharpened teeth looked like a demon, hideous and terrifying. The demon was beheaded in the winter of 1979 and was buried in the nearby western jungle. He was decapitated by his own sword, even now, There are ghosts and demons in the jungle, and the brave dared not venture into it. The day he was killed and buried, the seeds of evil were buried underground."
Klein's face turned pale, and his hand holding the coffee cup was trembling.He is just an ordinary person, and of course he also knows fear.He took a deep breath to fill himself with courage, and said: "You mean, this is the truth you believe?"
Sheriff Phillips said: "When Pastor San was purifying their remains, we saw black magic fire coming out of their necks, so of course we believed."
Klein's gaze fell on Chen Muyang. In the U.S., Orientals are extremely rare, let alone a priest.
"Pastor Saen, how do you purify the body?" Klein asked.
"Of course it is with the power of the Holy Light, Officer Klein."
"Holy Light? Are you sure you are not kidding?" This oriental man was wearing a white priest robe embroidered with golden patterns, holding a white staff nearly one person in his hand, it looked like that, but Klein Don't believe it at all.
Chapter 499
"This is what everyone sees, do you think everyone is blinded by me?" Chen Muyang said lightly.
Stingway gave Klein a bible and said, "I suggest you look at this."
Klein opened a glance and saw a family tree map, and then resolutely said: "The murderer will not be a ghost that popped up from the tomb. The murder case in New York was not made by the evil spirits.
Thomas Landt said: "You are 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, with only his body on the scene, and his 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 wears weird props and looks like glasses or something.
"The wound has been burned, Jianfeng..."
"The blade is hot, but the wound did not blisters or zoom, did it? We discovered this when Peter and Dirk died in 983." Thomas, who felt very uncomfortable with Klein's words yesterday Landt said.
Chen Muyang smiled and said, "Officer Klein, next I will purify the body, and you will see the true form of the demon fire."
"Well, I'll wait and see." Klein said with some lack of confidence.
Chen Muyang's staff pointed at the corpse, and a holy light ball fell on the corpse. Klein was surprised to find that a black flame appeared on the corpse's neck, but was quickly purified and disappeared by the holy light.
Klein's psychology was greatly shocked. This world actually has holy light and demon fire. In this way, the headless horseman is very likely to exist.
Pastor Stingway presided over Jonathan's funeral.
At the funeral, the sheriff Phillips told Klein one thing that Jonathan was the fifth dead person, 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 she died, and this is most likely the reason for her death.
Klein thoughtfully.
Two days later, the sheriff Phillips was beheaded by the headless knight, while Klein fainted not far from the body.
Chen Muyang gave him a concentration pill, and the poor guy who was terrified by the headless knight finally took his mind.
"I saw him, saw him cut off Phillips' head in front of me!" Klein exclaimed in horror.
Chen Muyang cast the Holy Light technique on him, and the power of the 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 this murderous monster!"
Chen Muyang said, "Officer Klein, don't you feel something is wrong?"
"What?" Klein was a little surprised.
"Why did the headless knight let you go after killing Phillips? You know, he is a murderous, murderous madman. There is no reason to kill only one but let you go."
Klein sat up abruptly and said: "Don't tell me, I really haven't thought about this aspect of things, 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 why the sheriff will He died because he told you that the widow Winship was pregnant. Then why did Jonathan die?"
Klein immediately got out of bed and said, "Go and ask Ma Si!"
Soon, Chen Muyang and Klein found Ma Si, and Klein asked: "Does your father have any connection with Van Gaele's family?"
Little Mars said: "He works for them. We live in the carriage house. But a week before the murder, Peter and Dirk had a dispute, and then my father summoned the master to do something."
Chen Muyang said: "That's the connection. The next step is Winship. She is a widow, so who made her pregnant? The child in her belly has not yet been born, and what is the reason for this unborn child to have such a The huge threat makes him have to die?"
"Wealth! Inheritance!" Klein spit out two words, and then hurriedly said: "All the people who died are related to the wealth of Van Gaalle and Fan Tasso! Someone is behind them for these wealth. The head knight kills all those who can inherit or are connected with the inheritance."
"Very well, Officer Klein, then who is this person?"
"It must be someone who has the right to inheritance. The father and son of the Van Gaal family have died. The murderer is in the Fan Tasso family. Potters is already the owner of wealth, so it is impossible for him to commit the crime. Then only two people are most suspected, Fan Mrs. Tasso, and Miss Katrina."
Chen Muyang shook his head and said: "Katrina can be ruled out. She is my fiancee. I know her and she would not do anything like this. You know, she doesn't have to do anything, as long as she waits for Portes' death. According to the will, These wealth automatically belong to her."
"Then there is only one suspect, Mrs. Mary!" Klein called.
