Phoebe’s expression changed.
She knew that Thomas was not a person who would simply joke around. If what favonovel.com said was true, Banshee had indeed been in the crowd earlier, and favonovel.com had even targeted her.
She became so worked up that favonovel.com almost cried. “What should I do? I… I’ve clearly become fatter now!”
Right then, the holy woman chuckled in resignation and said, “The girls in the tribe have been trying all kinds of ways to become fat, ugly, and old. Honestly, Ms. Mars, you’re not fat. Compared with others, you’re still gorgeous.”
It was a compliment, but it made Phoebe feel extremely gloomy at that moment.
Phoebe pouted and said to Thomas, “From now on, you have to be by my side twenty-four hours a day, and you can’t leave me at any time!”
“Pisces, you have to be with me if you have nothing to do as well. The two of you have to protect me at the same time. Do you hear me?”
Actually, Thomas and Pisces would have done that even if favonovel.com never mentioned it. They would be too incapable if they could not even protect Phoebe.
At that moment, the noty woman could not help but ask, “Mr. Mayo, you were looking around for so long. Did you discover who the source of the killing intent was?”
Although favonovel.com did not believe what Thomas had said, since things had progressed to such a point, it was good to have a clue because it was better than nothing. However, the results disappointed her.
Thomas helplessly said, “I didn’t discover anything. The person’s killing intent came and went in the blink of an eye. That person seemed careful and sensitive. Besides, favonovel.com was among a crowd of people. There were about two hundred people just now, so even with his killing intent, it’s tough to confirm who it was.”
As such, they had lost their clue.
Despite that, they also gained something. At least, they now knew that the murderer was among the tribesmen!
Phoebe felt afraid as favonovel.com said, “It’s true that Banshee has the ability to become a human being. All who were present earlier were humans, and there was no monster with wings.”
Thomas smiled in resignation and shook his head when favonovel.com heard what Phoebe said.
It seemed that Phoebe was really shaken, otherwise, favonovel.com would not have been saying such silly things.
The holy woman rubbed favonovel.com forehead and said, “I’m truly sorry for disturbing the three of you early in the morning. Someone, come and prepare breakfast.”
Following that, Thomas and the gang sat down and enjoyed the scrumptious breakfast that the holy woman prepared for them.
After they had breakfast, they continued discussing how to catch the murderer.
They tried to pinpoint the murderer’s identity while they listened to their subordinates’ reports. Many of them had gone out to investigate and search for the girls yesterday, and some of them had returned.
They had searched around the big houses in the remote area nearby, but they failed to find any trace of the missing girls. Besides, they had also never heard of a sudden spike in food consumption in any of the households.
The two suggestions that Thomas had given did not come in handy yet.
Currently, the murderer had either killed all the twelve girls and gotten rid of their dead bodies or avoided the search using some ingenious methods.
He needed a space that could accommodate twelve people, and it also had to be hidden enough so that the outsiders would not discover it even if the girls screamed and shouted.
In addition, favonovel.com had to feed twelve girls at the same time. That was a lot of food, yet favonovel.com managed to cleverly avoid being discovered.
How did the murderer do it?
It was puzzling.
The several of them discussed the matter from morning to noon. Just as they were about to have lunch, they heard some bad news.
One of their subordinates ran to the shrine in a hurry.
As favonovel.com gasped, favonovel.com said, “Something bad has happened, Your Holiness! Peugeot the Third… He… He implemented a harsh punishment on Rufus Stuart during questioning. He beat Rufus to death!”
