Chapter 456 Candy Man

Looking in front of him, this black man who took soft food for granted.

There was a hint of disgust on Angela's face.

On the other side, Amanda continued to ask: "Can you tell me specifically, how did you find out about Natalie's death?"

"I remember that a few days ago, Natalie came back from the supermarket. She worked as a cashier in a nearby supermarket. Although she didn't make a lot of money, she was able to get some food that was about to expire by virtue of her status as an employee. It took her a lot of effort to get this job..."

Here, Amanda and Angela are investigating the situation of the victims of the first candy murder case against the black man in the house.

On the other side, Spike roughly scanned the environment in the house, and stopped in front of the bathroom.

pat.

He stretched out his hand and pushed open the half-closed bathroom door, glanced at the dark environment inside, and pressed the switch to turn on the light.

Looking at the mirror in the bathroom and the dark red blood stains in front of the sink, the slightly drooping blue eyes flickered slightly.

"...Because of this matter, we quarreled a few words, but I didn't dare to show too much. After all, I was in my situation at the time. Everything was counted on Natalie. Later, when I was sleeping at night, I woke up on the bed. When I came over, I found that Natalie was not around, and I didn't take it seriously at first, and then gradually I heard a strange movement from the bathroom. I shouted a few words but didn't hear Natalie's answer, so I got up and walked towards the bathroom, and then saw that Natalie had died in the bathroom, and the whole body was divided into two halves by the hook. I was so scared that I dared not move, and finally climbed to the bed and called the police. "

The situation disclosed by the black man is basically consistent with the information recorded by the Washington Police Department.

"Since Natalie died in the bathroom, why do you continue to live here?"

Beside Amanda, after listening to the black man's description, Angela couldn't help asking.

"I have nowhere to go, what's more, people have died in most of the houses here. Looking closer, I don't think there are any problems elsewhere."

Turning his head and glanced in the direction of the bathroom, the black man showed a look of fear on his face.

As he said, Natalie's death was quite miserable, as can be seen from the photos provided by the Washington Police Department, when she was split in half by an iron hook.

It is conceivable how frightened the black man was when he saw this scene.

In fact, after experiencing such a thing, the other party is still willing to live here.

It can be seen how terrible the power of poverty is.

……

bathroom.

Spike stood in front of the mirror, looking at his slightly blurred figure in the mirror.

From some corners of the mirror, some bloodstains can be vaguely seen. One can imagine how terrible the situation when Natalie was killed.

Withdrawing his gaze from the bloodstain, Spike exchanged a glance with himself in the mirror.

Through the mirror, the slightly drooping blue eyes.

Gradually, Spike's eyes became blurred, and a blurry image fragment emerged from the mirror.

……

In the dim night, a woman with a bag on her back was walking on the road.

She passed a remote corridor, and suddenly a homeless man with patches on his body and a worn-out cloak wrapped around his body appeared on the side of the road.

"Have you heard the legend of the candy man?"

The tramp looked at the woman and asked in a hoarse voice.

……

pat-

Accompanied by the flickering lights, a dim yellow light was lit in the dark bathroom.

In front of the mirror, a black woman with a slightly bloated figure appeared in it. She had dreadlocks all over her hair, and her eyes were a little dazed.

"..."

Standing in front of the mirror, the black woman was silent for a while.

She seemed to be looking at herself in the mirror, but she seemed to be seeing an unknown existence through the mirror.

In this way, there was a long silence in a daze.

"Candy Man, Candy Man..."

The woman opened her mouth and called softly to the mirror.

pat!

With the name of 'Candy Man' heard five times, she reached out and turned off the light in the bathroom.

In the next moment, a vague figure flashed away from the dim mirror in the bathroom.

"what!"

The woman opened her mouth to let out a silent scream, and a sharp iron hook protruded from the mirror, piercing her throat.

……

"Spike."

When he came back to his senses, Spike was still standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom.

Amanda shouted from outside.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Spike pondered the image he had just seen.

There is no doubt that those images are what happened in the bathroom and what Natalie encountered during her lifetime.

"Candy Man, Candy Man..."

Recalling the image, Natalie stood in front of the mirror, shouting in ecstasy.

Spike also seemed to be bewitched by some kind of mouth, and said the name of 'Candy Man' to himself in the mirror.

However, the next second.

He just stopped the voice in his mouth, and he didn't say "Candyman" five times to complete the summoning ceremony like Natalie in the video.

"Sure enough, is it you?"

Looking at himself in the mirror as usual, Spike said something thoughtfully.

He reached out to turn off the light in the bathroom, turned around and walked out from inside.

And the moment Spike turned to leave, he didn't see a blurry shadow like an iron hook flashing past beside his own back in the mirror.

……

"I think what he said should be true."

Walking out of the bathroom, Spike heard the conversation between the black man and Angela, and then interrupted to express his opinion.

"There are still some bloodstains from Natalie's death in the bathroom. If you have used the bathroom, you will obviously not ignore this. Of course, the most important thing is that the water in Lima has not been changed for a long time."

Hearing Spike's description of the terrible environment in the bathroom, Angela's face suddenly revealed a disgusted expression.

Even Amanda who was on the side couldn't help frowning.

Of course, the purpose of Spike saying this was not simply to disgust Amanda and the others. After briefly describing the situation in the bathroom, he brought the topic back and told everyone what he had just seen. Everyone: "Of course, compared to these, the most important thing is that I have already seen the answer there."

While speaking, Spike and Amanda looked at each other.

"Unfortunately, Amanda, it seems that you are right. Natalie and even the victims of the candy murder case are indeed related to the homeless."
