When the river worker laboriously pulled the iron coffin onto the case, everyone was immediately shocked. Not only was it emitting an extremely stench, but also it was indeed an iron coffin.
And a huge cross was carved on the coffin lid.
This scene immediately alerted the river workers. If Jabi hadn't released the pounds he promised, they might have fled long ago.
Arthur also covered his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"It seems that the fact that Fraser Manor is haunted will spread throughout the UK soon."
Jabi said helplessly, but also very angry, "These are obviously good things done by the Child family."
Indeed, the last time he met Edmund Childe, he chose to hide it. Arthur did not believe in using an iron coffin to contain a body. Edmund would not know about such a strange thing.
But now that the coffin has been fished out, the impact has been irreversible, so we can only deal with the matter as soon as possible.
"Should we notify the old guy to claim the coffin?"
Because if this is really Edmund's sister, then he has to deal with it himself.
Arthur hesitated. Ever since he experienced the living dead at Roslyn Church, he had become much more wary of corpses.
"It's better not to wait any longer. Let's just burn it!"
Arthur no longer wanted to look at the body inside, and wanted to burn the iron coffin as well.
While the two were discussing, the coffin over there suddenly made a noise, as if the people inside were struggling to jump out of the coffin.
This time it really scared everyone. Many river workers didn't even want their 5 pound reward, and started to run away in the manor like frightened rabbits.
"This is really hell!"
Arthur couldn't help but pull out the magic pistol that Olivia had modified from his waist.
Walking to the iron coffin, he fired twice at the rusty lock. After knocking off the lock, he slowly raised the coffin lid with his cane.
There will be a group of people who have stopped in their tracks because they heard the gunfire, and they are all looking back at Arthur's movements, all preparing for something more terrifying to happen.
Arthur slowly opened the coffin lid, and what lay inside was not a rotting corpse, but a lifelike woman.
This woman was very young, 17 or 18 years old, and fit Edmund's description at the time.
Arthur's heart was also in his throat at this time. He didn't know whether he should shoot at the corpse inside first.
At this time, a big white fish suddenly slipped out from beside the corpse. Due to lack of water, it began to sway its tail and beat the coffin.
Arthur couldn't help but let out a long breath, and even the timid Jabi laughed out loud.
“I didn’t expect so many of us to be scared to death by a fish.”
Jabi said mockingly.
Arthur frowned more and more as he looked around the coffin, because although the entire coffin was not tightly sealed, it certainly could not allow such a big fish to get in.
"There's definitely something wrong with this fish."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Jabi raising his cane and about to spear the fish. It seemed that he wanted to pick out this big fish.
Arthur shouted hurriedly: "Don't touch it."
But he said it was too late, Jabi's cane had already penetrated the big fish's body.
At this moment, the female corpse in the coffin suddenly opened her mouth and let out a miserable howl.
Jabi was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. Those who had just stopped to watch the excitement immediately started running away again.
Arthur was also frightened. He took the magic revolver and fired several shots at the corpse. He finally stopped after emptying the bullets.
Not only was the exorcism array on his bullet, but also his blood. After the body was hit, it immediately burned with white flames.
In a daze, both Arthur and Jabi heard a very miserable cry.
As the white flames gradually disappeared, the unpleasant stench in the air seemed to fade a lot.
The female corpse in the coffin was still lifelike, but the next moment, it immediately rotted into a pile of dead bones, seemingly returning to her original appearance.
Jabi could not help but marvel at this change. Looking at Arthur's exorcism pistol, he couldn't help but say with envy: "This pistol of yours is really powerful."
Arthur shrugged his shoulders grandly, "Olivia made this specially for me."
Jabi couldn't help curling his lips, then pointed at the coffin and asked, "What should we do with these things now?"
It stands to reason that he can choose a cemetery in the manor and bury the coffin there, but Jabi obviously has a lot of taboos about this thing.
"Then go find Edmund and let him handle it by himself!"
Jabi also felt that this was the case, so he sent someone to inform old Edmund.
When old Edmund came, it was already dusk. He stood in front of the iron coffin, the expression on his face changing.
Arthur didn't ask about the iron coffin. He always felt that this old guy had many secrets hidden in his heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jabi simply went to Baron Locke's place, borrowed a cook, and held a simple dinner in the manor.
In addition to Baron Locke and Edmund, the dinner was also attended by James Bond, whom they had visited before.
At the dinner, while Arthur poured himself red wine, he asked Bond: "Has there been any progress on your case over there?"
Baron Locke was also implicated in this case, so he immediately paid attention when he heard the two chatting about the case.
"There are no results yet, but it is said that it was the Germans who did it?"
Bond was just waiting for news, so he didn't know much about the specific progress of the case.
"Germans? How is this possible?"
Baron Locke immediately retorted.
Bond shrugged his shoulders, looking like he didn't quite believe it either.
At this time, Edmund on the side suddenly interrupted: "Are you talking about the murder of Director Michelle?"
Bond nodded. As Edmund, he was not surprised to know this.
"I heard that a secret policeman named Leonard also died?"
"What?"
Baron Locke couldn't help but look at Bond in surprise.
This news was originally blocked, and even Baron Locke didn't know about it, but Edmund actually said it easily.
Bond and Baron Locke are friends, and now that Edmund is telling the truth, there is no need for him to hide it anymore.
"Yes, just a few days ago, Leonard was killed on the carriage while handling the case."
"Could it be involved in Michelle's case?"
Bond nodded immediately, confirming Baron Locke's statement.
Baron Locke, who had always felt a little wronged, could only feel the cold wind on the back of his neck.
"This case really has nothing to do with the Germans."
After Edmund drank a glass of wine, he expressed his judgment.
Several people couldn't help but look at this old guy. They all knew that the Child family originated in Germany.
Now that he is so sure, he should have his source of information.
Of course, no one would doubt that he said this because he felt for Germany, because first of all, he is a businessman, and secondly, there are only a few races in Europe, almost in every country.
Among them, Edmund was also the oldest and the one with the highest status.
Bond then asked hurriedly: "Do you have any other specific opinions?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Edmund smiled slightly.
After wiping his mouth with a napkin, he said slowly: "I guess it should be France, because there seemed to be a drug issue a while ago, and the secret police of the two countries seemed to have died a lot."
"Why do the secret police use drugs?"
The person who knew the least information among them was Baron Locke, so he felt very incredible when he heard that the medicine had alerted the secret police.
"That's not a simple medicine, it's something that can really make even the devil tempted."
Hearing Edmund say this, Arthur immediately thought of heroin.
What he didn't know was that Edmund was also secretly paying attention to him at the moment.
Arthur didn't notice, but sighed and said: "Humanity will be destroyed by it one day."
What he said unintentionally made Edmund's eyes light up immediately, and he said with a smile: "I know that as a student of Professor Bell, you must know it."
Jabi was stunned as he listened. He was also a student of Professor Bell, but he couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about.
"Arthur, what on earth are you telling me?"
Arthur waved his hand helplessly, "It is a drug a hundred times more powerful than opium. You must not touch it."
"Is it a hundred times more powerful than opium?"
Bond couldn't help but ponder.
"That should be quite a profit, right?"
At this time, Baron Locke's eyes couldn't help but ignite with greed.
Edmund nodded, "That's right! This is a product that can move the world, so if we work together, we will all become rich people who can rival other countries."
Edmund looked at Arthur eagerly, but Arthur had a cold face, "Didn't you say before that the motto of your Childe family is to give and repay? I didn't expect that I would earn such ill-gotten gains." ."
Arthur said it very seriously, almost pointing at Edmund's nose and swearing.
Fortunately, Edmund didn't look too angry, and Baron Locke immediately smoothed things over and said, "Doyle, don't be angry yet. This is just business. Even if we don't do it, others will."
In fact, Baron Locke has never been very fond of Arthur in his heart, because he doesn't see much value in Arthur.
But after Edmund said this, he realized that the young man in front of him, who was not yet twenty years old, actually had the value to leverage the world, so he immediately became extremely eager.
But Arthur ignored him at all. After wiping his mouth with a napkin, he lit his pipe.
It stands to reason that this drug formula has been circulated for twelve years, and there should have been rumors about it in the market. But now, except for Olivia, this drug does not exist at all in the world.
This made Arthur feel that there was something wrong with his speculation.
After taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but ask Edmund: "Have you seen that kind of drug?"
