Chapter 3189: Detective is about to die (Forty)

When the clown asked the little girl to continue identifying, the little girl wanted to identify her eldest sister-in-law this time, but the clown told her that if she was electrocuted again, she might die. The little girl hesitated and could only point to one of her brothers.

The second brother who was pointed out started cursing. In addition to cursing the little girl, he also cursed his father and eldest brother, and even his eldest sister-in-law, telling her that she might as well die.

In the next two rounds, the little girl pointed at her older brother and father respectively, and they also cursed at her. At first they cursed the little girl, but later they started cursing each other.

From the words they used to insult each other, Schiller could tell that the men in this family were all peculiar in their own way.

Ever since Hef was expelled from the team, he has been addicted to gambling. When his eldest brother was bullying others at school, he was killed by the bully and his leg was broken. He still has a limp now. His second brother likes to steal things the most. He not only steals things but also steals money from home. When he fails to get money from his mother, he beats her.

The only relatively innocent people in this family are the grandfather and the mother, who are also the best people to the little girl.

After shocking the others, the clown asked the little girl to continue pointing out, but the little girl said she would not do anything. Even when the clown threatened to kill her, she refused to point out her mother and grandfather.

If it was an ordinary murderer, when it came to this stage, he would either let the little girl watch him electrocute her dear relative, or kill the little girl in front of her relatives.

But the clown was not an ordinary person. He was very surprised and praised the little girl. He said, "Great! Little Jenny! This is exactly what I want to teach you. If you don't want to do something, just say no firmly!"

"Your refusal has won them the victory. Okay, now the game is over, your family can be reunited, and I will let them go now."

It is easy to imagine what happened next.

Adult males have relatively good physical fitness. Even if the electric current causes them great damage, it still does not affect their mobility, and they will have a short period of excitement after being electrocuted.

They rushed upon Jenny like mad, intending to kill her because she had not refused them, thus causing them so much pain.

More importantly, their dignity was challenged.

From the structure of the Hef family, we can see that they are a very traditional family. The man works outside and the woman takes care of the children at home. Even if the family is so poor, they don't want their women to go out to work.

In this game, their identities were reversed, and the weakest person who needed protection the most became the judge who could decide the life and death of others.

The mother and elderly grandfather, who had always been at the bottom of the family class, escaped the disaster, but the men, who usually acted arrogantly and had the final say at home, suffered a fatal blow and behaved in a disgraceful manner.

They felt that they had lost their dignity and could not tolerate such an insult. Anger consumed their hearts.

But they are not the kind of people who face challenges head-on, otherwise they would not live their lives like this. They are used to wielding their knives against the weaker ones, and actively ignore who is the culprit of all this, and intend to teach those who have no ability to resist a lesson.

Blood dyed the screen red.

After the video ended, neither Batman nor Schiller spoke.

"How's it going?" Schiller asked.

"There are so many questions," Batman said. "I don't even know where to begin."

"Oh?" Schiller looked at him with some interest. He said, "If you say that, it seems like the problem is really big."

"The one with the biggest problem is Jenny." Batman looked at the bright red screen. He reached out and used the mouse to drag the progress bar back to the beginning. The picture froze on the first close-up of the little girl Jenny.

This little girl named Jenny is not actually very delicate and cute. At first glance, she looks like a country girl who is often exposed to the wind and sun. Her hair is a little messy, but she has a pair of big brown eyes that look very bright.

"She's so calm," Batman began.

Schiller certainly noticed this too. It can be said that from the moment the clown appeared to the moment the Huff family began to kill each other, Jenny never cried from beginning to end, nor did she feel any particular fear. She basically did whatever the clown told her to do.

This is highly unreasonable. For a little girl who is only 6 years old to be able to utter a complete sentence after encountering such a misfortune can only mean that she drank too little Meng Po soup but still remembered it.

You know, even when Batman was a child, his first reaction was to cry after his parents encountered an accident. This is the normal human psychology and emotion.

Even though this little girl named Jenny was a genius who was able to keep herself stable in such a terrible situation, the understanding she displayed was a little too exaggerated.

Maybe for an adult, such a scene is not very complicated, but for a little girl who is only 6 years old, there are probably too many things in this scene that she cannot understand.

This village is very remote and there is no internet access. I guess it can't even receive a few TV stations. It's impossible for a little girl who grows up in such an environment to have much knowledge.

She would have been very confused as to why her family members were tied to the chairs, as she probably had no idea what "kidnapping" meant.

It was also difficult for her to understand why the Joker asked her to point to someone, because she had no idea what a serial killer, a burglary, or a psychopath was.

It was even more impossible for her to understand what the torture device the clown had made was, why people would scream when it was pressed on them, and it was impossible for her to understand the meaning of her family's shouting and cursing, because many things were too profound for her.

Human beings are always limited by their own knowledge. This 6-year-old girl named Jenny has been exposed to very few things in her short life, so naturally there are more things she doesn't understand.

But she didn't ask anything during the whole process. She just did whatever the Joker told her to do. She didn't have any curiosity or fear about what was happening, as if she already knew what would happen.

This is not the reaction a little country girl should have.

When a normal child encounters such a thing, he or she will either cry loudly and be unable to utter a word. Even if he or she does not dare to cry, he or she will not dare to do anything at all, and will keep looking for his or her father or mother.

Even if it is not such a dangerous situation, if it is just playing a similar game, children of this age can rarely concentrate for such a long time, and it is impossible for what they say, do and react to be completely on topic.

But Jenny did it.

This made Schiller very suspicious of her identity, because he remembered that Batman had said before that when the lost goat disappeared, only little Jenny knew the direction it disappeared in.

Without this clue, the Huff family would not have been able to find the goat's carcass in that direction, and naturally they would not have eaten the goat meat.

Could it be that Jenny deliberately let the goat run away, led the Huff family to someplace, and then tampered with the goat's meat, driving the Huff family crazy?

No, Schiller thought of another possibility. The goats and the like might just be a cover. After all, from the video, the language logic of the Hef family is normal, and their emotional reactions are also natural. There is nothing crazy about them.

Then the rumor that the Hef family went crazy after eating mutton might be just a rumor, but they were driven out by other people in the village because the villagers must have seen something that made them think that the family was crazy.

As a member of the Huff family and the youngest daughter who is least likely to lie, if Jenny did or said something, it would easily influence the villagers' judgment.

This reminded Schiller of something: Madeline's notes said that these monsters were intelligent and even very cunning.

These monsters may not all have powerful skills, but they can rely on their invisible presence and evil wisdom to fool humans. Jenny looks like she has been bewitched by the devil.

If it was true that a monster first possessed Jenny, leading the Huff family to kill each other, and then possessed other people after Jenny's death, then who would this person be?

"Is the body in the security room on the first floor the lighthouse keeper?" Schiller looked at Batman and asked.

Batman nodded and said, "He was probably killed by an outside invader."

"No, that's not right," Schiller said. "He was not killed by this crazy guy in the video."

"Who is that?"

"It should be Hef." Schiller continued, "After Hef's family was released, Hef first killed the rest of his family, or in the process of their killing each other, only Hef survived."

"Then maybe he wanted to leave here, or maybe he was mentally stimulated. When he came to the first floor, he killed the keeper of the lighthouse, but was also bitten by his dog."

The main reason Schiller made this inference was the wound on Huff's leg. Because he had fought with that group of dogs, he was familiar with the size and attack methods of hounds. The scar on Huff's leg must have been left by the hound, which proved that he had a conflict with the dog owner.

Batman frowned. If this was true, there was another possibility. That is, the monster possessed the little girl Jenny and led the Huff family to kill each other. After Jenny died, he possessed Huff again and asked Huff to kill the lighthouse keeper.

But Hef lived to meet Schiller and others, and he died in the end. After his death, the monster would definitely find a new host.

When Huff died, everyone on the team was present, which means that this cunning monster could be in anyone.

"Do you think he can influence us?" Batman asked.

"I think the monster should not be able to communicate directly." Schiller said, "After all, he is not a demon in myths and legends. He needs to chat with people to influence them. Otherwise, he would not choose a little girl as a host, because children's thinking and communication abilities are not as good as adults. It is actually more difficult to persuade them and make them execute something perfectly."

"You mean monsters can directly influence the mind?"

Schiller nodded.

"There's some trouble now."

After Batman said this, he found Schiller looking at him with a slightly puzzled look.

"What's the trouble?" Schiller asked.

"The people who are affected may not even know they are being affected," Batman explained. "They may subconsciously do evil things."

Schiller looked at him, hesitant to speak, and finally spoke.

"But besides you, is there anyone else in this team who has room to move down?"
