The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 53: March 4, one thousand four hundred and fifty eight years

"Recently, Mr. Amos Morrison, a famous artist and painter from Frozen Water Port, was arrested by the security guards on charges of serial murder.

"An anonymous letter reported that a large number of corpses were hidden in the gallery of the Honorable Amos Morrison. Although the Honorable Sheriff Hiram thought this might be a prank, our respected Constable Hiram The director, with his own security police and with the assistance of many relevant industry insiders, conducted a surprise inspection of Morrison Gallery last night."

...Huh?

Gallery?

Annan looked thoughtful when he saw this.

He looked up and saw that the newspaper was called "Recent Events in Beihai". It seemed to be a monthly newspaper, published once a month.

After writing down the name, Annan carefully unfolded the brittle newspaper and looked down carefully:

"Earlier, Mr. Amos Morrison reported to the Frozen Water Harbor Police Department, claiming that his daughter Ellie Morrison was missing inexplicably. Due to Mr. Amos's outstanding creations, this incident was It caused an uproar before.

"Our beloved Viscount Alvin Barber and the distinguished Earl Geraint also once issued inquiries about this matter. The Freezing Water Port Police Department jointly handled the case with the security guards of Rossburg, White Ground, High Cliff Castle and other places. , and recruited a number of well-known detectives and sought assistance from relevant industry insiders, but in the end the whereabouts of Ellie Morrison were not discovered.

“This matter was once reported to the royal capital as a case proving the weakness of the North Sea Territory’s security force. Count Geraint severely criticized the matter, and the former Frozen Water Port Police Chief Job Boro was also imprisoned for his poor handling of the case. Demoted.

"At 2:15 a.m. on March 4, Sheriff Hiram's investigation team was attacked in the Morrison Gallery. Three police officers died unfortunately, and two police officers also suffered huge injuries due to the cruel scene. The mental shock caused him to go crazy on the spot and died from his injuries a few days later.

"The attacker was shot dead on the spot and his body was recovered by the police station. The identity is said to be a mercenary from the Swamp. More details, including the number of attackers, are still confidential.

"According to the testimony of a drinker who had just left the Rotten Fish Bar, he heard a loud roaring sound at about 2:30 in the morning. When he rushed to the Morrison Gallery, he found the officers engaged in a fight with a ' Fighting with a giant colored meat ball with flames burning all over his body, he was stunned and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the 'colored meat ball', and was knocked unconscious from behind.

"Subsequently, Sheriff Hiram discovered multiple body fragments of Ellie Morrison in the Morrison Gallery. They were hidden inside the frame and sniffed out by police dogs - but before that, The Morrison Gallery has always prohibited pets.

"Elle Morrison's real name is Ariel Barker. When she was seven years old, her biological father died, and her mother, Clara Barker, remarried to Amos Moore, who was five years younger than her. Leeson and Ellie also changed their surname to Morrison at this time.

"When she was fourteen years old, her mother Clara died of an illness for unknown reasons. In the basement of the Morrison Gallery, a six-month-old stillborn fetus that had just been taxidermied was found. Relevant industry insiders confirmed it His mother is Ellie Morrison, and his father is Amos Morrison. We have reason to suspect that there is an improper and unhealthy relationship between them."

Below this, a line of small characters reads "Note: This specimen has been recovered by the relevant department."

…stillbirth at six months?

Annan paused.

If the year when Elle died and Amos was arrested was the second year of nightmare...

He did a rough calculation. The month that Elle was pregnant... was almost the month of Amos's second plot ceremony.

Annan suddenly felt a chill in his back.

But he didn't realize where this uneasy feeling came from.

He continued to look down:

"Ellie Morrison's body was confirmed by relevant industry insiders and police officers to have died half a month ago, exactly ten days after Mr. Amos Morrison reported the crime.

"In addition, many bodies were found in the underground warehouse of Morrison Gallery, most of them homeless people, but also including the well-known art critic His Excellency Absoulon Flagg. He was formerly A critic of Morrison's paintings, he became an ardent supporter of Morrison six months ago. Three months ago, he went to Frozen Water Harbor to attend Mr. Morrison's painting exhibition, but disappeared on the way.

"We have reason to suspect that he was killed by Amos. Mr. Amos confessed to this fact."

"When asked about other details in the gallery, and the alleged colorful flesh ball, Sheriff Hiram the Honorable said:

"'There is no doubt that those we are fighting are mercenaries from the swamp, as all the police officers present can prove. The reason why that kind of abstract monster appears at the scene can only be the effect of alcohol. Gallery We have no comment on other things that happened during the incident, which involve confidentiality regulations. But Mr. reporter, I sincerely tell you that you did not appear at the scene. This is really a great blessing. I think any person with conscience and sound Anyone with good morals will cry over the tragedy in the basement.'

"Currently, the Morrison Gallery has been sealed off by the security guards. The relevant persons involved in the case are being summoned one after another. Your Excellency Morrison is under strict custodial control. It is reported that the Lord intends to demolish the Morrison Gallery in the near future."

...Is this the end of Amos?

Annan wrote down all the other contents of the newspaper of the same period, and then slowly closed the newspaper.

Count Geraint...

Forty-five years ago, who was Geraint?

Don Juan’s father, or his grandfather?

Also, is the Viscount of Roseburg mentioned in the nightmare really Alvin Barber?

Also Ai Lei's previous surname, "Baker".

If Annan remembers correctly, in the CG of the nightmare cutscene, Amos was shouting "No...Baker..."

Who is he talking to?

Annan vaguely realized that ~IndoMTL.com~ it seemed that these old events were not completely unrelated. It is even possible that the Frozen Water Port has been abandoned decades ago, and perhaps it is not just because of the ban on trade exports with the Principality of Winter.

Then, the reason why Don Juan came to this land...may not be as simple as "being persecuted in the royal capital".

"Forty-five years ago..."

Annan murmured.

He silently wrote down the number.

Anyway, something must have happened forty-five years ago.

"How?"

On the side, Salvatore watched Annan reading the newspaper solemnly and couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything gained?"

"Yes. Do you still have this year's newspapers?"

Annan immediately replied: "There are also those from the previous year, I want them all."

The current time is December 1503 of the New Calendar. The last month of the year, protected by the cold-blooded lady and the strict old grandmother, will soon be 1504.

So forty-five years ago, it was 1458.

At this time, something big must have happened...

“It’s hard to find such old newspapers because their circulation is not large.”

Salvatore scratched his head in confusion: "This time I only brought newspapers about the Geraint family and related news from the Black Tower... Mainly because I was afraid of violating taboos. I may not be able to find them all, I will try my best. ..."

"Thank you for your hard work, senior."

Annan nodded.

It is better to let Salvatore help with the investigation than to run around without a head.

It is another issue that urgently needs to be dealt with by Annan personally...

"How are my guards doing now?"
