The experts arrived, and they collected the evidence, there was no evidence that she reacted, there was no blood, there was no murder weapon, no blood...
Tim was taken to Gotham Police Station towards the interrogation room, he was held there, the question was...
The detective in Tim's case came into the room, opening the door and sitting there, in that room...
So could you tell me, how and why did you just come back to the apartment at 6:00 in the morning? He questioned.
- What was so important, in the middle of the blackout that lasted four hours...
I wonder. " He said. "You've had a fight...
We were engaged. He said.
I loved her. He said.
- What did you do to leave her in the apartment alone...? He questioned.
- I went overtime. "Tim said.
It's your company, isn't it? He questioned.
Yes, i'm sorry. He said. But I'm going through trouble. I said.
- There's... - Said the detective. "It's financial problems, then. I said.
- Nothing serious... - He said.
I know, i know. " Said the detective. Isn't this about the fact that Wayne fired your father? He questioned.
- It's a problem between us, my fiancée had nothing to do with it. He said.
The boy couldn't tell, why he was Batman, and possibly one of his enemies, discovered his identity, he himself needed to find out...
- More than six hours of night work at the company? You questioned it.
- I had problems with the organization. " Said Tim
- You know, I can find countless reasons why a groom kills his fiancée. He said.
He was taken in for questioning...
There was no evidence of anyone else entering the apartment.
Only if someone knew about your secret identity.
They ripped her tongue out, and split her face in half.
- There was no evidence that she defended herself, she was killed without resistance. He said.
What's that? "Tim said. "You think I killed her. He said.
I can't find anything. He said. Not yet. I said. But I can find out more. He said. " The evidence and evidence will say.
Then why don't you arrest me? " He questionou.
- There's no evidence yet that you killed her, other than asking for a lawyer. He said.
"Everyone fights, and you may have been out of tune, always the oldest motive for murder. " Said the detective.
So you saw me arrest? He questioned.
- No, not for now, you can leave until I gather evidence. I said. Until you get close. He said.
He got out of there, seemed automatic, he wanted to know who besides Bruce Wayne and his father, knew his identity, could be any of the villains.
The problem that during the investigation, was that until that moment, there would be no witnesses, there were no doors broken.
He wore his Batman outfit and roamed the night in question, even if he beat up every criminal who didn't answer the right questions, he'd have problems, he wouldn't know how the original would solve it.
At that point, everything indicated that she let in, if there were no defensive wounds, she was found dead, no tongue, more than sticking, blood that he when, returned had to clear the tracks, the murder weapon disappeared.
So she knew, who knew her, wanted her dead, or hypnotized her, as to the motives, were the basics, hurting him, it was the worst way for him to enter this world of revenge, in the worst way.
Your apartment, it was a crime scene, complete.
With interdiction tapes, he went back there to literally think about what was worse, what he could investigate.
There would be no one he knew who wanted her dead, everything indicated when he investigated, and outlined the plans, was that she knew, there would be no villain that was his enemy that she let in.
All the original Batman villains literally wanted to kill Batman, some took different directions in a matter of hurting him, the clown, he was one of his suspects, but at that time, he was stuck in Arkham, and he hasn't left in the last 24 hours.
He finally realized he couldn't find the killer, it took more than less than a week of investigation to run for help, he needed help, but he didn't know if he'd have who he'd look for so badly...
Tim Fox went to him at his company on this day in question, he broke into all his office, Bruce just looked, he had made seven attempts to approach him to no avail.
Why did you do this to my father? He growled. "I know I made a mistake.
- I'm not going to change anything between your father and me, and it's no use asking me to help you. I said.
"You have not only inherited the mantle, but the problems that come with it. "Bruce said.
Why don't you help me? He questioned.
I'm not going to help. "Bruce said.
I need your help. "He was practically begging.
- The time you're spending asking for my help, is the time you could be spending investigating. "Bruce said.
- When I needed him, when I needed him most, he took my money, I didn't expect it from him. "Bruce said. And you wore the robe, thinking it was easy. "Bruce said.
"He just begged me to come back. "Bruce said. Because you had to.
- This isn't the first time. " Hit Tim.
"I really needed it, and I do. He said. I wanted to give it back. "Tim said.
- I can return whatever you want. "Tim said.
I don't want it anymore. "Bruce said. I don't have to. "Bruce said.
- I have everything I want and what I need, I already have. "Bruce said.
- When I needed him, he wasn't there when I asked him to. "Bruce said. No one was there. Why would I need it now? You questioned it. Because I should help you. I said. "I'm not a detective anymore. I said.
Get away from me. "Bruce said.
- Make your own destiny. "Bruce said.
- When did you decide you didn't want to help me? He begged.
"When he realized you couldn't handle it. "Bruce said. "I knew that one time or another, you would drop the mantle. "Bruce said. "Learn to turn around. "Bruce said.
That's when you ran after me. "Bruce said. The first time. I said. And I'm going to say no. "Bruce said.
You refused. "Tim said.
- yes, you're right, I refused. "Bruce said. And I keep refusing. I said.
You're right. "You know that's not fair. "Bruce said.
But you know what the problem is, Tim, world is not fair. "Bruce said.
But I realized something. "Bruce said.
I don't need the robe. "Bruce said.
- I don't have to be Batman to do what I want. "Bruce said. And that I like revenge. "Bruce said.
You're Batman, aren't you? "Bruce said.
Keep the robe. "Bruce said.
"I don't want any money back. "Bruce said.
And you might as well turn around. "Bruce said.
- Get out of here, and make your destiny. "Bruce said.
Lucius and you have all the money you want to do whatever you want. "Bruce said. "Learn to turn around. "Bruce said.
- There's no way back to Wayne Interpreses. I said.
Make your own destiny, Tim. "Bruce said.
- Neither of us need each other, and neither do we need the help of the other, when I really needed it, I didn't have your help.
- So I don't need you anymore. "Bruce said.
Even so, Lucius' life was not easy, he needed to remove from his shadow the fact that he had passed some back, he was marked forever, and Tim's life, enraged, was swarmed by security guards out of the building.
Most companies, in turn, refused to request his risk consultancy, in the end, he had to think about living only with the money joker transferred to him, if he knew how to water, it would take him a long time to toast.
He had a time, a little over a year before he retired, so you could live with the retirement money, as to your son, whether Batman or not, Bruce would have plenty of time to think about whether he would ever wear the robe again.
There would be many who could do this, there was no lack of who wanted, opportunity and volunteer, after all, there were many vigilantes on earth.
The world was vast, there would be no shortage of those who mirrored his old adventures with the mantle, so knowing and seeing the countless futures, he knew there would be many stories to tell, and many people to wear the mantle.
Tim in the end, went away, but he was practically fuming from his room, the man tried several approaches, unsuccessfully Bruce did not want well nor a visit.
Lucius' recent company attempt was a risk consultancy, if it summed up business administration, and this made him ignorant to such an extent that he tried sometimes to approach it.
He was at risk of bankruptcy, he needed to think of a way out of Batman's shadow, Bruce Wayne, and discover his fiancée's killer.
Again, he was returning to his apartment, doing ungrateful work.
Tim, i was looking at the only things out of place, besides of course a place where his future wife was dead, in general, he didn't understand how everything could go wrong.
He looked at the floor, near the bed, more boxes of dolls, there were scattered there, the horrible and scary dolls, and if they spoke the only witnesses...
The dolls and the blood-strickmy dolls, which he looked at, and that were his father's, the killer knew him, there was not much to do, besides...
Whoever knew them would have come in, he looked...
A delivery man, the same delivery man...
What all indicated was that there were connections to the dolls, but who would use them to enter the apartment and kill them?
He looked, taking a doll, and going towards the box, and saw, they were from the factory of his father's uncle...
He fell in tears on the bed, never thought this would happen, never thought his life would change so much, with just a cape and a hood, did everyone who wore that robe go through something like that?
It was a curse, that everyone should be guided by revenge, and never be left alone, he should spend his whole life, like Bruce Wayne, hunting assassins who persecuted him, it took decades before Bruce Wayne found his parents' killer, would he have to do the same?
That's what accompanied the robe, a secret he didn't expect to find out anytime soon.
Tim, you couldn't take it, like you'd weep over and over, you called your father.
Dad. " He cried on the phone, Lucius Fox answered his cell phone, the first thing he did, when he answered, besides hearing his cry, was to talk.
- I know there's nothing that connects. "Tim said. Why, did he send those hideous dolls? He questioned.
He's a sick man, son. I said. "You have a very strange mood. I said.
Get over here now. " Lucio said. "I'm going to help you. He said.
- And bring these dolls, you and I will burn him when that old man dies. He said.
He decided to advance the visit to the town of Neuss in Haven Barns Diol County, at the request of his father, and his despair.
He took his bags, the hideous dolls, put them in the trunk and took the road, passing through the gate fair bridges towards that end-of-the-world city.
He passed through forests on each side of the road, fleeing the city, and heading toward a city that was off course, inland, superstitious and spectral.
To which it seemed an ominous version of Gotham, but smaller, and whose shops, was written closing, and several streets, whose aspect was that was lost in time.
Grayish aspect, it was so Gothic, finished, gloomy, closed shops, Victorian styles, gárgulas and abandoned buildings, in the distance a mountain between a cliff, and a gray structure, and of complete abandonment.
He crossed the city of few inhabitants, and arriving at a long estate with gágolas that were disdoing, without much care, and a sleepy security opening the gates for him.
At the end of the entrance to a manor house, of Gothic Victorian style, was his father.
Honey, i don't know. "He said, hugging him.
Come on, let's go inside. He said.
This town is a thousand times worse than Gotham.
He saw him climbing the stairs in a snail to the room of a man who was so old, white hair in a wheelchair.
He wouldn't have anything to say about those dolls he let them be taken out of the room by a butler.
I'll have you prepared a room. "Said your father.
- I can try to work this out for you. I said. – Stay here for a while, accompanying me in the negotiations, with the representative of the company that is buying the property.
He saw that the man talked a lot, it seemed that he could drop dead at any moment.
Wherever they passed through the mansion, there were glass and puppet monuments dating back to different times, depicting the golden eras of the factory.
He said, being led by the nurse who drove the wheelchair.
- It was golden times, more than 50 years ago, now I come from the laurels of my conquests. I did. "I was able to run the factory, when one by one, my relatives' children were to die. I said.
- I ask Penelope to introduce the owner of the funeral home to choose a suitable coffin. He said.
- I know it's hard, but I speak from experience. He said.
" Do it fast, and you will suffer alone in a place without judgment, the pain is softened without haste to cry. I said.
"You will not be rid of the pain, but of the discomfort of it being freed from all the restraints. "Said the man.
Said. "Beanie,darling. " - She said. - It's time for your medicine. - She said.
All right, baby.
My name is Heinz. He said.
The place as the whole city was abandoned.
He was introduced to the other side of town, the funeral home, which was between the estates, far away, near a cemetery.
He was a gentleman, white-haired, smoking suit, clear eyes, and tired-looking.
When he arrived at the entrance to the balcony, a lady, elderly, of crazy air, talking and feeding birds, sitting on a swing.
- When the coroner releases it. I said. I'm going to go get it.
Look at the catalog. I said. See what you like the most. He offered.
Over the course of the hours, he automatically chose a coffin...
Practically, that's what he decided, returning to his great uncle's mansion, he felt that he was observed by the dolls and bears of that mansion, there were many.
In addition to countless pictures of period images, golden years of the city, which did not have many inhabitants, there, in search of better conditions, all there went away, leaving few there.
The mansion was relatively intact, he saw in some rooms, where there were teddy bears, and pictures of ancestors holding bears, and a portrait of an entire family.
To which there were his cousins, and who were portrayed at the time, he felt being followed, to just turn a room, and see a bear sitting in a rocking chair, no matter where he entered.
He knew all that was covered in bears and old photos.
He was talking about a Poliana woman, he was his business rival who died 50 years ago, in a great times of prosperity, no matter how much he insisted, there was a mystery, in people who did not talk about what would be the end of an abandoned factory.
He went out at night, to look at the rooms, and in the room of bears and dolls lined up, it was as if they looked at him, and accompanied his movements.
He felt sometimes, as if time stopped, if it were movement, moments of sleep and wakefulness, the songs stopped the wind stopped roaring, and waking up, to what he saw a doll in one of the chairs of the swing, just did not destroy now, because it did not own.
In the days that followed between the burial, he was hugged, and the coffin was closed, there was no way to show the candlelight, nor access, there was no way to solve, had no eyes, there was a huge hole.
He walked after burying his ex-fiancée, now deceased, far away, covered in ivy, was the abandoned tomb of poliana stone, former owner of the dolls he saw in the portraits and mansion.
He would return to the mansion and sleep, spend the day, thought he had hallucinated between sleep and wakefulness, he saw or thought to see the bears and dolls watching him.
It was more the fact that in the midst of his zombie ride, among the strange things that happened in the middle of the city, it was like he was chased or followed by someone, that city had a snowfall piece in the middle of that cemetery.
Between the fog and the shadows, he found beyond the estates, in the midst of the trees, not only the tomb of Poliana, it was what was written on the lapide, shout my name and I will go to meet him, there were ivy, there were branches, and was practically away from the other tombs, almost in a swamp.
Unreasonable people like the wife, the stranger of the funeral home owner, besides the gravedigger, who was cadaveric, thin, tall in deep dark circles.
- She's going to come, she'il come, watch what you say, she'il come, she'il find you. "She said, prowling and strolling through the tombs. It said. "She approached him, as a little lost.
You have to leave. " He said in the midst of what seemed lost, with bulging eyes, and fearful, holding a crow, which to his horror, seemed to be..., dead.
You mustn't scream. " She said, pulling by the collar.
What's going on? "Tim said.
I found you, Mildred. "Said your husband.
That town, it was full of weird, crazy people.
He needs to leave. " she said. She will pursue you. I said. All of us. I said.
"Stop with isso. " - He said, pulling her.
She held it, it was the gravedigger
What's she talking about? He tried.
- I'm sorry, my sister's sick. I said. Come on, baby. I said. "I'm going to take you to your husband. He said.
Even so, he saw that there were tombs in the middle of the forest, set on other tombs, children's names, and beyond there were as if someone were chasing him.
Tim returned to the mansion, it was not far from the cemetery, between the main streets, when he was nearby, he thought someone was chasing him.
Before entering the property, it was as empty as the city itself, he turned his face, he was ready to attack, when giving an armbar.
He was gotham's detective.
Benson. He said.
- Wait a minute, we're not going to put it on your record, assault on a cop.
What are you doing here? He questioned.
- Didn't I tell vice not to leave Gotham? He questioned.
As much as he tried to pull from his mind something he said, the death of his fiancée, made him forget whatever he said at the police station.
I don't remember that. He said.
In his arms were a piece of paper.
It's good. I said. "I have a warrant to take your dolls. I said.
My dolls? He got confused. Because.
- If they were simple dolls, why didn't you leave them in the apartment? You questioned it. Why did you take them? He deduced it. Because they're evidence of the crime.
What are you talking about? You questioned it.
It's weird.
As to what he knew or not, he went towards the mansion, what was strange, was that he, barely there, had left a man in a suit, with a suitcase, saying goodbye to his father.
It was to which everything indicated the representative of the company that was buying the properties, and was negotiating a value that fit in the pocket.
- Many doctors were also leaving Bearnie's room,he had an oxygen mask on his face, and being helped by Penelope, who did not leave his side.
What's the matter with you? You questioned it.
- He was doing his check-up. " Said Lucius. What does he want? " You questioned Lucius.
I have a warrant. "Said the man, pushing in his face the paper.
I get that. He said. "Don't wait for the body to cool down. I said.
We have a murder case. I said. "We must do justice. "He said he pushed him and took the paper with him.
- So, you could tell me, where are the dolls you brought back from Gotham.
He did, there were many dolls, which he took each time, and to his surprise, he had left the car at the entrance to the gates of the property.
Did you see them doing the tests, Dad? Tim asked his father when they were left alone.
- I didn't see anything but strange men in hospital coats. He's got private doctors. " Said Lucius. "The only thing I know is that they're a little blurry. " Said Lucius.
"They were what they reported to me. I said.
"They were taking tests, and giving the report, but from what I heard, it wouldn't last until the end of the month. I said.
You want to know what's new? He questioned.
What's going on? He asked.
The new owner. He said.
What's the subject of it? He questioned.
He wants us to leave the dolls. I said.
Why is that? He questioned.
- I don't know, it's just in the contract. " Said Lucius.
What about your case? He questioned.
- Just crazy people, and I found out I'm not the greatest detective in the world. "Tim said.
- I tried to talk to Bruce... - Lucio said.
So...? He questioned.
- Did you see any white men dressed in a suit? " You questioned Lucius.
So there's your answer. I said.
How's your investigation going? He questioned.
- From bad to worse. He said.
- The only thing I know was that somehow that dummy wasn't sent by chance by some crazy crazy freak. I said. "Whoever would have sent him to me took advantage of the delivery and killed him, or knows who killed him. "
In any way. "Tim said. When I talk to him. "He's always cheerful and never says anything. I said. He knows something. I said. This town is strange. I said. "He sent the dolls, and whoever sent them killed him. I said.
Why would he kill your fiancée? He questioned.
- The only thing I know is that secrets are hidden here, and everything about these dolls. He said.
- And only the crazy and demented talk to me about a crazy woman who eats tongue. I said.
- Now, you can try to talk to someone more coherent. " Said Lucius.
Who do you propose, Dad? You questioned your son.
- You can talk to the owner of the funeral home, after all, he was the man who makes the funeral of everyone here, there must be some story that people and refuse to talk. I said.
"He's got a lot of white hair. I said. "It's showing that he knows more than to refuse to say.
- I'm going to try to talk to Bearnie about this story. - He said. - When you come back at night. - Lucius said. - We exchange information. - He said.
- She's part of a story, ancient legend. I said.
It's good. "Bearnie said.- Better than nothing. "
He took one of the dolls from the glass shelf that was sent to him, had a name on his collar, it was Bob, he took him with his butler's clothes.
He went towards the funeral home, it was a long shot, but there was no other solution, no other situation.
Got in the car, and drove up the road, heading toward the city, he parked the car, took the doll and went down, he was passing through the high gates, without giving a chance, he bumped into a tall man in a lade and hat.
Just seeing his blue eyes, the rest was covered by a hat, and a black cape, coming out of the funeral home door, he did not take a second look, and went toward the door, the man was with a frightened expression, seemed to get worse when he saw that doll in his hand.
No, it can't be. He said. He tried to formulate words. That's not yours. "He said pointing toward Tim.
- That's not mine, so whose is it? He questioned.
He looked toward him and toward the horizon as if he were seeing something besides him, beyond what he himself can see...
- I just want the truth. "Tim said.
- Besides the truth, there are stories that an old friend, has alerted me through a mutual friend, something I wanted to forget and not tell, but a mutual friend in remembered her, and made me see that nothing is buried forever. I said.
Then tell me. Tim asked.
He continued to look toward the horizon. I said. "At one point, she'd come back. "He said sighing, he spoke. Follow me, the story is long. "He said, pulling him with his hand on his shoulder, guiding him into the house.
- He said someone would one day want to know. I said. I said. He repeated. "Bearnie's relatives would come at one time.
Tim didn't understand if that was true or he wouldn't stay for later.
He entered, and sat on the couch in front of him, the man began an account, in the golden eras of Neuss in the county of Haven Barns Diol manufactured by, by the former owner named Charles Macedo Gorki.
Times ago. He said. – There were the two largest companies beanie soft toys that were their ancestors, who manufactured teddy bears, and that of Beanie Warner, his ancestor, the current owner called Poliana "Polly" Dolls, which also owned dolls, who alsoowned, factory owner of Susan Pockets and Sesame, they were rivals ... – It said.
- It all started long before, but everyone said it was summing up when it was dropped on the altar by Charles Gorki from that day on, what they felt for each other was overshadowed by rivalries and intrigue. I said.
- From a beautiful young woman, with eyes of the color of the ocean, and jovial, came to become a bitter woman, she had built a theater, her company prospered, one of the investors and benefactors of the city, but never had children. – Said.
- During golden times, golden, the city, she invested in performances, and the theaters of the city. He said.
She said that her dolls, and then the teddy bears, were her children, never had a relationship again, and did everything for the family and the ex-fiancé himself to fall into ruin, to the point of buying the factory.
To which they lived little more than a few years in ruin, until came their golden times of lust, and little by little the city fell into ruins, too.
There were only the performances of her pieces of ventriloquism and the dolls and teddy bears, gradually the only thing that kept the city standing were her presentations...
He had financed and created the great theatre of Haeven Fair, long ago, he today caught fire and never entered or built.
The ventriloquist who lost her voice, or whatever it was.
- In one of her most full performances in history, it was the last in fact, she did, well, but a boy challenged her saying they were just toys...
He was the son of her former fiancé, this made a great war and disagreements of the city, but in the end almost at the end of her middle age, reaching a period when she bordered almost 75 years, she began to organize her show.
Even so, she was considered a bitter woman, as much as her family and the long brica and intrigues that arose.
Over a period of time, she organized shows, and kept the company just manufacturing some dolls and teddy bears she bought from the rival company.
It was for many years, which made it take up jobs, and manufactures throughout the city, it made her move and distribute, she managed to destroy the family.
According to stories, all the wealth of the sale of the shows, met in his mansion.
It was right at the end, during his shows that rumors arose with his wealth that increased and a month before the last end, bought the company of his former fiancé.
She was dedicated to concerts, and in the theater of the city, which today was abandoned.
I went to a single show for this woman many years ago when I was a kid.
The four children of her ex-boyfriend who was once her ex-suitor, in general, they were bad education in person, had complaints, which they were influential.
There was a whole wave of disagreement generated by his former rival, and discussions about the riches and influences of that family in golden times.
She was a thin, tall woman, and a long white hair, her years of life, showed that she had passed 70 years already, and her dolls were her children.
Some time ago she opened a museum, she showed her works, which were more than just dolls, said to be alive, she charged to visit.
Her shows were used by her own audience, in often saying that she included the audience in her performances.
I was there as a witness once.
She took the box, not one, but three dolls, they looked alive, and when he heard the voice of the dolls, far away, as if they were theirs, and not hers, she sought him out...
My kids, Lili, and Bob, where are you? She said.
It was a blond doll with curly hair with green eyes, and a pink dress with ruffles, with a strong makeup, he saw that Bob and Billy, were a red-haired doll and another brunette.
In the audience excited, with ovations of voices, surprised and happy people, clapping for each voice made childish, totally different from his.
Mom, I'm here. she approached and as soon as the lights went towards her, another voice appeared.
Mom, I'm here. " Said another voice, male.
Here, Mom. " Said a thinner, more masculine voice.
She found them in the middle of the audience one by one, leading them towards her lap, one sitting in a chair, the other on a bed and the third in her lap, all somehow spoke...
They seemed lost, they said she hid them where only her audience could find.
That time he was under one of the chairs, another that was hidden behind the door and the next one of a curtain...
Each of them, they were always close to boys and the dolls of girls.
There were three boys who found them.
- You're not funny. She said. –
As they say. "She said, with each of them in her lap.
Thank you, Cindi. " Said the doll.
Enzo. " Said the doll.
Thank you, Mathilde. " Said the doll.
What are we talking about? She questioned.
We're going to be friends. " Said the dolls. Let's play later.
That's when everyone applauded.
- You're not the best-behaved children I could have. "She said, doing her voice number, among so many people in a crowded theater, with adult people and children admired.
What was incredible, was Poliana's ability, was the greatest ventriloquist in the history of America.
They're not boys, they're not kids, they're toys. "You heard the voice.
He was that boy no one from school and the city liked.
He thought he was the smart one.
Never doubt a spoiled child to spoil the party, but everyone did not pay attention, he saw how those dolls were interacting with Poliana.
He was a brawl.
I'm real. He said.
As if there was a tape recorder in each of them, I'm a real mom.
In one of his presentations, which were like this, to which I attended, I saw that boy in the suit, now being naughty and doubting that those so-called children of his children were children.
I saw how always his miscreation, grumpy blonde and no manners, with a suit and bow tie, he was as if always dressed with a sour face, of that age, could see himself.
They realized that he was jealous of the other children who took the dolls, it summed up to it, had it all, and wanted more.
A week later, he disappeared, they didn't know, they didn't see, but they suspected, found her, murdered with a bullet hole in her chest.
The population did not know how to react, to what was known, was that Poliana, disappeared a week after this boy disappeared, then his house was found depredated and burned, and a week after she was found dead, the theater was burned down.
She was found a month later in a swamp at the end of town, near the bridge. her will, when they found her, she had been beaten and shot, and in her will, she had left nothing to anyone.
According to rumors, they said that all the money she gathered from years of stage, and manufacture of her toys, disappeared, said that they searched, but there was no trace.
As for all the goods were supposed to go to a distant relative, but never found, and went to search his mansion, and found nothing, all the stories summing up rumors and stories, and nothing was found.
What was left was that they found the deed of the old properties she had purchased, was returned to her ex, and nothing there was discovered, nor the source of the money they tell the stories, and what all disappeared without a trace.
In the end, there was no evidence as to what happened, with the woman and the boys.
- Her will said that in the course of her ex-boyfriend's assets being returned, and the money deposited and released in court, they should follow the following rules with the lawyer as a witness, half of her dolls should be buried with her.
In total, of her daily shows, she had 600 dolls, 300 dolls buried with her, and 300 dolls exposed in the mansion and open annually to the public.
Besides that they should make only a house with dolls, it was that happened to be spread the dolls in the mansion, they should never throw away, during the years.
All this, until it was bankruptcy and the former owners died of old, and there was no relatives left, to contest the rule, there was still a sum of money.
There were schemes to assemble inventions and dolls and bears around the city in the old abandoned museum.
To what should be an annual survey, annually a portion of the amount would be released for each year thousand dollars would be released, and my uncle was lawyer and witness, while the other half, should be placed and exposed in squeeathed the rooms for all to see their latest works.
Besides, my father and older brother, my uncle, should just be buried, she should be turned into a doll, and be buried, next to that doll mausoleum from the city museum.
- But as you know, you saw, that part didn't happen. I said. –They isolated them outside the mausoleum, and away from other graves, not all of their puppets were found, and not all were buried with it. I said.
The fair was supposed to be manufactured annually the teddy bears that were supposed to be exhibited.
As time went by, that didn't happen either. He said.
With the non-fulfillment of your wishes. He said.
- After his death, two things happened... - He said.
What's going on? He questioned.
- There's been a plague of deaths and disappearances.
- The first child of each family disappeared, and the other children were found dead, when the children were found, they were found without eyes, or tongue.
Often without mouth, on the eve of the funeral, the parents, were found the oldest disappeared and the youngest was found without eyes and mouth, with a hole, without tongue or teeth.
- The eldest son was not found, the youngest was killed, next to the middle son who was found dead, and his parents, at the time of two weeks, were found with the same expressions, and one was found and the other not, couples were separated.
It was not all, but in general, only those who had disappeared, those who were leaving, it was no longer known of it, gradually the city was emptying, people died and others disappeared.
He showed terrifying photos of people who were found dead, and reports of disappearances.
Why didn't anyone do anything? He questioned.
- The town is small, no one would do anything. I said. To this day. I said.
- Not even your wishes have not been fulfilled. He said.
- The dummy in question that should be buried with her, they shouldn't be in that mansion, that crazy man. He said.
- I took pictures of their bodies when I buried them. I said.
- She lived on top of the hill of the property. "Tim said. And she, too, had the old theater. I said. "She invested in the city that was alive.
- She hadn't left any relatives? He questioned.
- As far as I know, she left no one, and a niece came to town a week before Bearnie died, and her other uncle had a stroke.
- That was one of the dolls that were supposed to be buried with her. He said.
And they didn't? He questioned.
- No one respected your last wishes. I said.
His old mansion was raided and plucked. He said.
- But in the end, everyone who did it, fled, died or disappeared. "Said the old man.
Then I should go there. He said.
- And she didn't stop killing, someone wanted some revenge. "Tim said.
The city is almost empty. I said. People disappearing. I said.
- There are no witnesses or bodies. "Tim said.
There's nothing you can tell. I said.
He got up and headed towards the door.
- I'm going to find out who's been doing this. I said.
- Did you mention the top of the column, on the mountain near the theater? He questioned.
She was set on fire. He said.
- You know she may have come back from beyond. He said.
- What I do know is that ghost doesn't kill. He said.
" And I also know that someone is taking advantage of these stories to get money that may be hidden. I said.
- If the story you told, still the hidden riches. He said.
And where there is superstition, there is a criminal who wants you away from here. He said.
I'm going to find out why. He said.
He shouldn't have killed my fiancée. "Tim said.
Something to start with. He said.
- I'm going to pay you a visit, then. I said.
He opened the door and left, headed toward the exit and got into his car.
The detective in Andreia's case went to Poliana's grave, he had a shovel, everything to dig a grave, he needed information.
Let's go see your kids, shall we? "He proposed starting to dig.
Elsewhere, in the middle of the road without asphalt between the forests and mountains.
There in that city, the old mausoleum and the theater, were at the foot of a mountain, far from the city in question which takes between two hours to go against the other side of the mountains.
On the way to the trip, he took his cell phone, and called his father.
It took a few minutes to answer.
Did you find out anything? He questioned.
At your uncle's mansion, he was practically interrogating...
- I... - He said.
It's been a long time. He said.
Poliana had a daughter.
- Yes... - He waited...
What's going on? He questioned.
- She wasn't just dumped at the altar. I said. "She was droppeddown at the altar, pregnant, she had a daughter."
- They said her belly grew, they saw the girl twice when she was still a baby. They said.
- She was his assistant, the two of them took their time doing the voices of the dolls, according to stories. I said.
- He never took over the girl. I said. "And in addition to this boy who disappeared, he had three more children with his wife.
- She was weird and looked nothing like her, looked like her uncle. He said.
- She was your relative, my uncle when she disappeared, he had a half sister. I said. And they said he didn't just disappear. He did.
He was my uncle's uncle, and Juliana's half brother, she, did not disappear as everyone said, according to his story, she was murdered next to his mother, and their bodies were never found.
- It's not the first time someone's faked their own death. "Tim said.
- He swore revenge for the whole town before he was supposedly burned. "I was more than 16 years old at the time.
But they thought they killed her. I said. And she may not be dead.
- The teenager, disappeared, was sent away at the same time polliana was murdered.
Well, then. "Tim said. She may still be alive. I said.
The men of the city killed her, all of them for what they said, cut out her tongue. I said. In addition to killing her. He said.
"They cut out her tongue, and burned her, near the mansion, what they found might not be her. He said.
It was months after I found her in the river. I said.
And whoever's been doing this may be alive, but without the tongue. " Said Lucius.
- They were chased one by one. He said.
- So this is all about inheritance. I said.
- Looks like if they didn't find us. "Lucius said, they would look for the other relative. " Said Lucius.
Does this relative have a name? He questioned.
I don't know, i don't know. He said. "What he can tell you before he falls out of exhaustion, that's it. I said. I didn't say anything else.
I get that. "Tim said.
- How much is the estate worth to kill for her? " You questioned Lucius.
It's not about the property, Dad. I said. "This is about revenge. He said.
- Where did this kid end up? " You questioned Lucius.
I'm going to find out now. He said.
Try to protect yourself, Dad. "Tim said.
- I'm going to do my best. I said.
Why would she kill your fiancée? He questioned.
- I believe it was to lure me here. "Tim said. To kill all of us. I said.
