The holy woman asked, “Dr. Kingston, can you explain this? What’s going on?”
Dr. Kingston calmly answered, “It’s not hard to understand. Wills was born with dwarfism. His age has increased, but his height and appearance have stopped at ten years old. If Mr. Mayo hadn’t discovered it, I wouldn’t have even noticed. Based on my examination, Wills’ real age is about thirty years old. He’s genuinely an adult!”
This time, Wills could no longer cover things up.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the people. He flashed them a cold smile and looked exactly like a ferocious ghost in a horror movie. When everyone else saw him, they felt frightened, and a shiver ran down their spines.
Some of the timid girls dared not even look at him. They just hid behind other people.
The holy woman stared at Wills and said, “You’re really an adult?”
Wills scoffed. He still acted as if favonovel.com was innocent and said, “Yes, so what? Can’t I be an adult? I was afraid of being laughed at because I was born with dwarfism, so I kept it a secret and didn’t tell anyone about my disease. Is that wrong?”
It sounded like favonovel.com had not done anything wrong. Yet, after everyone discovered the truth, they still felt a shiver run down their spines. They felt especially frightened when they thought about how innocent and unharmful Wills had looked when favonovel.com interacted with them as a kid.
Besides, some of the girls usually loved to play with the children. They would always hold and kiss the little ones.
It was fine when they were children. But if it was an adult male who was about thirty years old…
The girls instantly felt nauseous. They even began to fear children, and they no longer dared to be near them.
It was terrifying.
Only then did Thomas step out and continue to say, “Your Holiness, didn’t you ask how I realized that Wills wasn’t an original member of the tribe? It’s because I discovered his real age and observed your attitude toward him. That’s how I learned about it.”
If the holy woman and all the people in the tribe had known about Wills’ real condition, they would not have been so intimate with favonovel.com and treated favonovel.com like a kid!
Everyone had been unguarded against Wills because favonovel.com had been a ten year old kid to them.
It was that simple.
The holy woman nodded and said, “Okay, I got it. Nevertheless, the fact that Wills is an adult merely proves that he’s hidden something from us. It’s not directly associated with the Banshee case. Mr. Mayo, please continue explaining why Wills is the murderer…”
One could tell from the holy woman’s tone that favonovel.com attitude toward Thomas was now less intense.
The holy woman was not the only one who was less intense. Everyone in the shrine changed their attitude toward Thomas and stopped insulting favonovel.com for no reason. It was because things already felt abnormal to them, and Thomas had discovered the scary truth, which none of them could.
Perhaps Wills was truly the murderer who had been kidnapping the girls!
Thomas continued. “Let’s do this slowly. The first thing I want to say is that I felt the killing intent thrice.”
The first time had been when Peugeot the Third brought Rufus to the shrine. Thomas had felt the killing intent from the crowd, but when favonovel.com looked over, favonovel.com could not pick the murderer out because there were too many people. However, Thomas already saw a group of children there at that time. Yet, like everyone else, favonovel.com had thought it impossible for a kid to be a murderer, so favonovel.com just ignored them.
The second time, Thomas had felt the killing intent on the goose farm. But when favonovel.com looked over, favonovel.com just saw a bunch of children again, and there was no murderer.
In reality, the murderer was Wills. He had been playing with the children, but Thomas had been deceived by his preconceived notions again. He thought it was impossible for Wills, who looked ten, to be a murderer, so favonovel.com ignored it again.
The third time was the most important moment.
