the only savior

Chapter 431 The bizarre cause of death

The middle-aged woman saw the sincerity of Aaron's words, coupled with the help information published in the newspaper as evidence, she also believed what he said.

She took the newspaper and looked at it carefully, and saw that it was written in very small characters: Seek help!My parents are all missing!I know the murderer is a monster!Which please help me!
There is also a phone number and an address attached below, which is indeed the small town of Morganstoke.

But the information stopped here, because this page is too small, and only a few simple sentences can be written.

"Well, it looks like she's really in trouble."

The middle-aged woman handed the newspaper back to the other party, then pointed in one direction and said:
"Little Braun's house is easy to find. It's in the center of our town. It's a red house. You can walk eastward later and find the area with the most flowerpots outside. "

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head again, and murmured: "It seems that something happened to Braun's house not long ago. Sergeant Henry has been there several times. So it's missing, but it has something to do with monsters." What's the relationship...?"

Aaron didn't delay here, but said goodbye to the woman and turned around to go out.

When he came to the street outside, the warm sunshine shone on his body, which made Aaron feel a little bit of warmth. He walked all the way in the direction pointed by the proprietress just now, and he soon came to the center of the town.

Indeed, as the other party said, the center of the town is easy to find. There is a large open space filled with flowerpots and water tanks. There are several residential buildings around it, including the one of hers. Said small red building.

The door of the small red building is facing the open space outside. There are several extra-large water tanks on the open space, which look very thick. I don't know if it was placed by this family.

Tomorrow is the Milk Festival. Many people have already filled their flower pots with milk, and the small square is even full. I heard that everyone will gather in the evening and hold a carnival here. .

After bypassing several large water tanks, Aaron stepped up the steps, came to the small red house, reached out and rang the doorbell above.

"Ding-dong~ding-dong~"

There were several noises, and Aaron waited outside for a while, but no one came to open the door.

He frowned and pressed a few more times.

"Ding dong ~ ding dong ~ ding dong ~"

After a long time, there was still no movement at the gate.

Aaron was a little helpless, and was thinking about whether to go back and find other ways first, when the closed door in front of him suddenly opened.

"Huh? Hello, is this Bernard Braun? I'm Aaron Griffin, we spoke on the phone earlier."

The person who opened the door was a 25-year-old white woman, she was very beautiful, at least according to Aaron's aesthetics, she was definitely a very beautiful woman.

However, the state of this woman at the moment is not very good.

She was unkempt, her eyes were listless and lifeless. When she looked at Aaron, it seemed that her thoughts were not in her body at all, and she looked lifeless.

"Are you Aaron?"

Bella spoke, her voice was nice, but now she had no strength, and her tone sounded very lonely.

"Uh...it's me, we talked on the phone before..."

"come in."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the woman turned around stiffly, leaving behind Aaron standing alone in a daze.

After regaining his senses, Aaron quickly closed the door and followed in, arriving at the living room of Berna's house.

This is the main hall on the first floor. Bella is already sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the TV covered in snowflakes.

At her feet, there were beer bottles lying all over the floor. It was obvious that this girl hadn't been happy at home these past two days.

Aaron felt that the script he was holding today seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

As a demon hunter, when he faced a client who needed help, even if the client wasn't begging him for help, he wouldn't be so neglected.

In the stories he'd heard from his grandfather, which witcher didn't keep a secret and then strike out brazenly at the last moment?
Why come here, there is always a feeling of being ignored by the other party while rushing forward.

He looked at the drunken woman lying on the sofa, then glanced at the mobile phone on the ground with a broken screen, and began to understand why he couldn't get through to her call afterwards.

Well, considering that your parents have disappeared, your appearance is understandable, so I won't bother with you.

Aaron found a step for himself, and then walked to Bella on the sofa, deciding to ask about the details of the matter.

"They're all dead..."

At this time, Bella spoke suddenly, her voice was very lonely, as if she was talking to herself, or speaking to the man behind her.

"Dead... huh? How could..."

Aaron also reacted suddenly, he couldn't help being taken aback, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"The police found their bodies in the water tank in front of my house, with the milk..."

Bella opened another bottle of beer and took a big gulp for herself. She usually doesn't drink alcohol, but now because she really can't bear the pain of the loss of her relatives, she just got drunk for several days in a row.

"The police said that their cause of death was drowning. They also said that it might have been because they were drunk at the time. When the two of them were pouring milk into it, they accidentally fell into it and drowned."

Bella sneered when she said this, and continued:
"How could such a thing happen? My parents disappeared five days ago, and who would pour milk into the water tank five days in advance? The milk was obviously poured in later!"

After hearing this, Aaron also felt a little strange.

"Then, is there a surveillance camera at your door? Why are you so sure that all this is done by monsters?"

Bella continued to drink and said without looking back:
"There is no surveillance. Everyone in the small town is acquainted. Few people will install surveillance on purpose. The police are still investigating this case, but I don't think they will take my parents' life and death seriously at all! They told me Said, this may be an accident, let me be mentally prepared, they are deliberately perfunctory!"

When Bella said this, her emotions suddenly became agitated.

She threw away the wine bottle in her hand, and the bottle hit the wall with a crisp sound. Instead of breaking, it just fell on the floor and rolled around twice, spilling the remaining liquid inside. all over the place.

Aaron glanced at the few wine bottles lying here and there, and asked the question again:

"Miss Beina, can you tell me why you are so sure that your murderer is a monster? You know, you told me on the phone back then that this incident must have something to do with monsters."
