Chapter 22: Dead and Alive

Martin not only heard the wax golem's confession, but was also moved by her.

The shotgun pointed at the wax golem couldn't help but lower its muzzle.

"Ms. Eva, this guy is so pitiful. How about...let's let her go?" Martin suggested weakly.

"Mr. Page, don't be fooled by her." Eva shook her head and smiled bitterly, "When a woman complains to you, especially when she is complaining while also using the 'Bewitching Song', you'd better think more about it.

Make your decision again.”

"Ah?! The Enchanting Song..."

Martin woke up from a dream and realized that he had been charmed by the wax golem without knowing it. No wonder he was filled with inexplicable sympathy.

Eva turned to the wax golem and responded sternly to her accusation.

"I am different from you. Ever since I was given flesh and blood, I have become what I am now."

"I have never killed innocent people or assumed the victim's identity for my own selfish purposes."

"I am Eva Vader, and Eva Vader is me! I am not anyone else!"

The wax golem was shocked by her awe-inspiring aura and opened his mouth, but could not say anything to refute.

Listening to Eva's confession, Jiang Feng couldn't hold back his curiosity and couldn't help but ask her face to face: "Are you also a wax demon? That's not right... You obviously have a living body of flesh and blood, why?

It doesn’t even look like a wax sculpture!”

"It was."

A bitter smile appeared on Eva's lips, telling her about the distant past.

"I was once a nameless wax demon, living alone for countless years in a cloud castle far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, until my father came to the cloud city and gave me Eva Vader.

In his name, he also cast a spell to turn me from a wax golem into a flesh and blood body, and sent me to the world of Vales..."

"Since then, have you become a human?" Jiang Feng asked next.

"I am a human, but not completely." Eva sighed, "Today, I have all the physiological functions that a human should have, while also retaining many characteristics of a golem. To be precise, I am a

A 'higher flesh golem' between humans and golems."

Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin looked at each other, seeming to understand, but not completely.

After giving the wax golem a cold look for the last time, Eva said to Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin: "Forget it if you have heard what I just said. If you ask me again in the future, I will not admit it. Please

You can keep my secret, okay?"

Seeing that the three of them nodded, Eva smiled in relief.

"I'll leave the wax golem to your disposal. If I have something to do in the future, as long as I can help, I won't refuse."

After saying this, she turned and left.

The train roared out of the platform, and the platform became deserted again.

After watching Eva's back disappear from sight, Gao Fei and the other three were about to escort the sluggish wax golem to Mr. Finn for business, when they saw Walter Finn running over in a hurry.

"Miss Quinn! Mr. Detectives! Please wait a moment!"

"Mr. Finn, I have good news for you. We have successfully arrested the murderer!"

Martin looked proud and showed off his ability as a famous detective to his employer.

"Very good! Great! Mr. Page, now you can return my wax golem to me! I will definitely pay the agreed commission!" Mr. Finn smiled a little guiltily.

"Wait a minute..." Gao Fei heard something was wrong in his tone, "Mr. Finn, have you reported the crime?"

"What case to report?" Walter Finn looked confused.

Gu Zhou

"The case of Mrs. Lina being murdered by the wax golem!" Martin interrupted, "How can such a shrewd person like you be so confused?"

"Hahaha! You have misunderstood, Miss Quinn, two detectives, there is something I haven't had time to say yet!"

Mr. Finn slapped his forehead and pretended to blame himself.

"Actually, Lingna is not dead, she was just knocked unconscious by the wax golem. After some rescue, she has regained consciousness."

"Ah? What are you talking about in your sleep? We carefully examined Lingna's body at that time, and she was absolutely dead!" Martin was shocked.

"Believe me, Mr. Page, Lina is really alive." Mr. Finn said with a smile, "She must be alive."

"I still don't understand, what on earth do you want to do -"

"Brother, stop talking!"

Gao Fei patted Martin on the shoulder and shook his head gently.

"Haha, Mr. Wayne, it seems that you are smarter and more knowledgeable than your partner. I like to deal with smart people like you!"

"Okay, now you can return the wax golem to me. Lingna is very angry and said that she will give this slave a lesson!"

When the wax golem heard Mr. Finn insisting that Lina was still alive, he couldn't help but tremble all over, with a look of horror on his face.

Now she was a little unsure, whether Lingna was strangled to death by herself, or whether she was just strangled unconscious as Mr. Finn said.

The wax golem couldn't hide the regret in his eyes.

I regretted that I should have been too hasty when committing the murder. It would have been better if I had examined Lingna's body carefully.

Since that evil woman survived, she will definitely take revenge on herself crazily, and what awaits her will be endless torture that is worse than life.

Mr. Fane seemed to see through the wax golem's thoughts, put on a benevolent face, and said to her:

"Don't be afraid, I will comfort Lingna and persuade her not to abuse you anymore. You should also be more peaceful in the future and don't cause me any more trouble!"

Seeing the hesitation in the wax golem's eyes, Mr. Fann straightened his face and issued a vicious threat.

"Listen! You idiot! If you are sent to the police, for the felony you have committed, you are destined to be burned at the stake and burned into an ugly puddle of wax! If you don't want to end up in that tragic end, you'd better

Just listen to me!"

The wax golem is not stupid. When he heard what he said, he suddenly understood everything in his heart.

Yes, Mr. Finn is lying.

Mrs. Lingna is indeed dead, but he doesn't want to expose the murder case because it will not do him any good.

Once word of Lina's death spreads, Mr. Finn will not only lose a wax golem he bought with a lot of money, but his exhibition hall will also be implicated in the murder scandal, and his business will plummet.

On the contrary, it would be in his interest to conceal the murder and let the wax golem pretend that nothing happened in front of the public and continue to play music and dance.

Walter Finn turned to face Gao Fei and others, stroking his shiny mustache with a flattering smile on his face.

"Miss Quinn, you two detectives, thank you for your hard work today. Although it was just a misunderstanding, I will still pay you the promised reward. I hope you will abide by the agreement and not let some irresponsible rumors spread.

"

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng both heard the implication of Mr. Fein's words.

He wants to keep this wax golem that has awakened its self-awareness, is good at singing and dancing, and more importantly, can perfectly impersonate Lady Lingna. His intention is self-evident.
