859: Mysterious Man

“If I help you provide information about the dismemberment case murderer, can my sentence be reduced?” Corey asked again.

This time, his attitude had changed.

"Tell me what information you know," Mo De didn't answer him directly.

He casually picked up a notebook and a pen from the side and began to take notes.

Seeing this, Corey was silent for a moment.

The interrogation room was a little dim, the walls were mottled, and the furniture was simple and old, just like a case that had been sealed away.

Only at this moment, the sealed case was officially opened!

Taking a deep breath, Corey couldn't keep up the pretense: "I admit, I did that to Bertha."

Speaking of which, the man seemed afraid that the matter would be directly characterized, and quickly added: "But, I didn't do it on purpose at the time! Someone lured me to Bertha's house, and I was used!"

"Are you trying to say that someone forced you to do that to Bertha?" Mo De looked at Corey, his face full of speechlessness.

Corey's face turned red and then pale: "I couldn't control myself for a moment. Although I was lured there, it was indeed me who laid hands on Bertha. At that time, I was horny, I..."

"You don't need to show how remorseful you are. Listening to your words, are you trying to shift some of the responsibility onto the person who lured you to Bertha's house?"

"Yes, this matter is not entirely my fault! Originally, Bertha and I had drawn a line between us during that time, and I was also preparing to calm down for a while before going to find her, but on July 17th, I received a letter." Corey didn't care how much filth he would expose by stating the facts, he wanted to clarify the situation at the time, at least so that he wouldn't bear all the responsibility.

Mo De didn't interrupt, listening calmly to the other party's description.

"I don't know who gave me that letter, but it contained a piece of information."

"It said that he drugged Bertha or something. I didn't think of anything else at all, all I could think about was that Bertha had met a bad person and I needed to protect her."

"When I got there, I found that Bertha had really fainted, and she was sleeping naked on the bed just like that!"

"So, you couldn't control yourself?" Mo De snorted and retorted.

He didn't believe a single word of what this person said.

Corey seemed to have also noticed Mo De's disbelief, and his face flushed: "What I said is true!"

While speaking, he fumbled around on his body for a while, and then took out a letter: "It's this, this unknown letter I received on July 17th!"

The man handed over the letter.

Mo De frowned and took it.

This letter, or rather this piece of paper, did indeed have a very short sentence written on it.

'I know you like Bertha, I drugged her and knocked her out and gave her to you, remember to accept this gift.'

The information in the letter was explicit and clear.

If there really was such a person who wrote the letter, Corey at that time would definitely not have been as upright as he claimed, worrying about her safety.

Of course, it's more likely that this letter was fabricated by Corey himself overnight after becoming somewhat alert yesterday.

The possibility of false evidence is extremely high.

"Didn't you say I got the bone cleaver from Old Tang Na?" Corey spoke again, also dragging the matter to the dismemberment case.

"The bone cleaver was asked by the person who wrote me that letter to help him get!"

"The person who used Bertha as a bargaining chip to scheme against me, the person who got the bone cleaver through me, is the real murderer of the dismemberment case!"

Corey didn't care about too much at the moment.

He was not active in the dismemberment case before because the case involved what he did to Bertha, and he just wanted to get over this matter as soon as possible.

He was even willing to cover for that murderer.

After all, what he did to Bertha could never be exposed.

Now that the scandal has been completely exposed, there is no need for him to hide anything.

If he can catch the murderer of the dismemberment case, perhaps his crime can be reduced.

Hearing this, Mo De looked at the other party's expression, which didn't seem like he was lying, and his emotions slightly subsided.

He certainly understood that compared to Bertha's case, the dismemberment case was the main plot.

Did the other party use Corey's hand to achieve their goal?

In this way, were Bertha and Corey both their pawns?

This murderer is also skilled at manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Of course, it is also possible that everything is a lie fabricated by Corey himself, and he is the murderer!

"So, you've seen what the murderer looks like?" Mo De stared closely at Corey's eyes.

"No." Corey was a little frustrated: "He always conveyed information to me in the form of letters, I never saw him."

"Oh?" Mo De's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then did the other party contact you recently?"

"Yes!" Corey nodded seriously.

"When?"

"Just yesterday." Corey, sitting in the interrogation position, answered the question quickly.

"Yesterday?" Hearing this, Mo De concentrated: "It seems that when Bertha was drugged yesterday, he asked you to visit again?"

"Bertha was drugged again yesterday?" Upon hearing this news, Corey had an expression of not knowing anything: "Captain, I didn't do anything yesterday!"

"I only did that to Bertha on July 17th, and that was the only time!"

"And since then, I haven't dared to meet Bertha every day, always avoiding her."

"I didn't go to her place yesterday at all, and there's no such thing as attacking her again!"

When mentioning that Bertha was drugged yesterday, Corey was in a state of unrest, and even had a strong attitude of wanting to clear his name.

This was completely unlike the lack of confidence he showed when he was caught red-handed for the crime on July 17th.

Mo De calmly watched the other party's performance and didn't say much: "You said that mysterious person contacted you again yesterday? Still through a letter?"

"Yes, it's still a letter."

Speaking of this, Corey searched his body again.

Not long after, a letter was found again from who knows where.

Mo De took it.

The handwriting that met his eyes made him raise an eyebrow.

The handwriting was crooked, like a child's writing, completely different from the style of the previous letter.

Perhaps this was the deliberate disguise of the real culprit that Corey mentioned?

After all, there are cases in the world where the murderer is found through handwriting.

Ignoring the font factor, Mo De looked at the content of the letter.

'Before 8:00 tomorrow night, put your police gun in the tree hole under the largest redwood tree in the Redwood Forest, don't try to ignore my order, I have recorded the scene of you sleeping with that woman, it's not easy to get a video recorder just for the two of you.'

Regardless of the font, the content style of the letter was consistent.

"Redwood Forest, gun?" Looking at this letter, which according to Corey's statement, the mysterious person wrote to him yesterday, Mo De's brows furrowed.

For the Redwood Forest, an area that frequently appeared in various information, Mo De had an unspeakable sense of rejection in his heart.

Among the five bizarre rules of Group C today, even two of them described information about the Redwood Forest.

It seemed that even these bizarre rules were hinting to him that the Redwood Forest definitely contained some important information!

Placing the letter in his hand on the table, Mo De leaned back and took a deep breath.

"When you were in contact with Bertha before, did anyone know that you were close?"

Mo De already believed the mysterious person Corey mentioned to some extent, and now he even had the idea of trying to catch the other party.

That guy dared to be so sure that Corey would attack Bertha, and thus seize Corey's handle, he must have a clear understanding of the relationship between Corey and Bertha!

And the reason Mo De believed in the existence of that mysterious person was that the information Corey finally provided happened to connect with the third bizarre rule C today!

[3. Wild animals in the Redwood Forest are very active every night, but please note, when you see a A Man wearing a hooded coat, please run away immediately!]

There is a A Man wearing a hooded coat in the Redwood Forest.

When I see him, I must run away immediately.

He remembered that in yesterday's bizarre rule B, there was also a description of that figure in the Redwood Forest.

[9. Drive around the Redwood Forest at night, if you see a figure wearing a hooded coat, please shoot him dead immediately!]

Yesterday it said to shoot him dead, but today it says to run away immediately!

The transformation of the other party from prey to hunter overnight can only be due to the blessing of an item, and that is the gun!

Although it is legal to carry guns here, in a marginal Town like theirs, the guns that ordinary people can get are some old hunting rifles.

They are far less convenient to use than police guns.

In addition, if Corey's gun was really used to kill someone, the murderer would not need to bear any risk or worry about leaving any traces.

Therefore, in the letter.

The matter of asking Corey to put his service gun in the Redwood Forest is very likely true!

Because that A Man wearing a hooded coat needs it!

"No." Corey shook his head decisively: "When I first started contacting Bertha, I didn't publicize it."

"In addition, Bertha's house is on the edge of the Town, and no one ever found out about my relationship with her."

Speaking of this, Corey was silent for a moment: "However, there is one person who always knew I liked Bertha."

"Who?" Mo De asked.

"That person... is Captain you."
