Of course, the holy woman understood what Pisces meant.
She said, “In fact, we thought of that as well. After all, this ‘banshee’ is a mythical creature, it only exists in legends. It is not real at all and there are not many of us who believe in its existence.”
“But everyone is blaming the strange and unexplainable disappearance of the girls on the banshee. The same applies to the people from ancient times, where they claimed that it was God who commanded the weather because they had no logical explanation for it…”
After pausing for a moment, the holy woman continued, “Since all those who are missing now are young, beautiful, and have good figures, all of us can guess what the culprit is after.”
It was pretty to come up with this guess.
Why would the culprit kidnap so many young girls?
Anyone could figure out the reason. A culprit who was sexually attracted to the girls might have kidnapped them.
Then…
Everyone was reluctant to even make a guess what came next.
It had been three months since these girls went missing. They must have been subjected to inhumane torture and were both physically and mentally scarred. Their friends and families must be worried about their well-being.
The holy woman said, “Twelve girls have gone missing, but we have no clue about their whereabouts. We have already placed a lockdown on the entire tribe and even searched house by house. Even the general altar was thoroughly searched as well, but still, no trace was to be found…”
“I really have no idea where the culprit hid the girls. It is just baffling.”
At that moment, Thomas said, “At this point, the only positive thing that we can assume now is, the twelve girls should still be alive. No matter what state they are currently in, at the very least, they are still alive.”
His words shocked everyone present.
The holy woman asked, “Why do you say so?”
Thomas explained, “It is very difficult to get rid of a corpse. It is even harder to do it under the strict surveillance of the tribesmen. If a corpse was left alone for a long time, it would stink very badly. Even if it was buried, it will still release a pungent smell, which would allow it to be found easily.”
Up to this point, no one had found a place which stunk badly, not to mention any bodies. This meant that the twelve girls were still alive.
Thomas continued, “It is also not easy to feed twelve girls at the same time…”
“First things first, favonovel.com will need a room large enough to accommodate all of them at the same time. Moreover, they will surely scream, wreak havoc, and have mental breakdowns. If they could not be found even after doing all those, that means that the place where they are being kept hidden is very remote or has superb soundproofing.”
According to Thomas’s deductions, they were looking for a place that was large and at a remote spot, or a large place with good soundproofing.
It was only under such conditions that the culprit was able to hide twelve girls without being found.
“There is something else that you guys must pay attention to.” Thomas thought of something and said, “It takes a lot of resources to feed twelve girls. Investigate whether any one family has been buying a lot of food recently. This might bring a breakthrough for our investigation.”
The holy woman nodded. “Indeed. Why did I not think of that?”
Right after, the holy woman immediately informed people to start investigating which family recently started buying a lot of food.
The next thing on the list would be finding a place that was remote and large enough.
If any of these two investigations bore results, they were highly likely to find the culprit!
It could not be denied that the two suggestions by Thomas were extremely useful. Perhaps they would be able to find a breakthrough based on Thomas’ suggestions and arrest the culprit.
