Chapter 760 A Gaze, And A Thousand Years Had Passed
Realizing that he had misspoken, Joker explained in a panic, “I mean, I retrieved my toys from other people’s homes. In order to give children clean things, I will wash them all, so there is nothing unsanitary about them.”
Stella kept quiet and just stared at him.
Joker’s gaze was fixed, and he looked at Stella in a panic.
Stella looked at him with certainty, “Joker, why don’t you tell me how Uncle Joker killed your entire family.”
“He is crazy. He locked me in the car, went into my house, and hacked my mother, brother, grandfather, and grandmother to death with a knife. There was blood everywhere,” He said in a daze, terror and bitterness in his voice.
Stella put the toy on the table and said, “This is his gift to you, right?”
Joker threw the toy on the table to the ground. “He is a demon.”
“Yes, he is a demon. He even taught you how to kill people. It’s all his fault. He isn’t worthy of forgiveness,” Stella played along with him.
“Yes, he’s the one who taught me. He asked me to act as a clown to approach others, especially those people who don’t have a husband. As long as I could control their children, they won’t even struggle,” Joker exposed everything.
“Did he force you to pretend to be those women’s dead husbands?”
“He became my father in two years, but I only needed to use face masks. I didn’t need two years. I could become other people’s fathers in just 2 hours, which is convenient and fast,” Joker said proudly.
“What about Hayes? She loves you,” Stella asked.
“She said that she loved me, but she was afraid of me. She had sex with another man in secret. She’s a cheap person, so I dismembered her. Women are all the same,” Joker said sinisterly.
“Joker, let’s get down to business. What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it to you next time,” Stella said concisely.
Joker fixed his eyes on Stella and asked in confusion, “Are you sure you’re going to bring it to me?”
“I have finished dissecting your thoughts. What if Uncle Joker did not enter your family? Although you didn’t have a father, you had a mother, a brother, and grandparents who loved you. You are very smart. Your dream was to become an astronaut. I think that you could have achieved it.”
Joker was a little moved, but he felt pain at the same time. He held the coffee mug, with his head lowered and his body shivering.
“However, it was fate that made you a clown, a murderer. Because of the accident that happened when you were a child, you gained a sense of accomplishment and pleasure from killing as a clown. However, you still have a bit of goodwill, that is, you would not kill the last child. It’s not that you want to repeat history, but that you want these children to have a different future, right, Joker?” Stella asked gently.
Joker looked at Stella with reddened eyes and asked, “Am I going to die? Will I be sentenced to death?”
“Have you ever thought of what the world after death would look like?” Stella asked.
Joker fell silent; he was in a trance.
Stella smile, “Joker, you’ve been alone for a long time. Since you didn’t say what you wanted to eat, there’s nothing I can do.”
Stella stood up.
“I want hamburgers, salad, ham, and turkey,” Joker said, looking at Stella.
“I will ask someone to send them all to you at night. Just go to sleep in peace. You don’t need to be so tense all the time,” Stella said as she left.
The sound of crying could be heard coming from behind the door.
“Stella, you’re really amazing. His psychological defense was broken through by you so quickly,” Vann praised.
“It’s just human nature. They’re all the same,” Stella said in a deep voice.
“I’ll introduce you to our newest group member, and then I will hand over a new case to your group. The serial murder this time shocked the whole country and even the world. Eleven will quickly become famous all over the world,” Vann said in a good mood.
“We are going to work on a new case so soon? That’s a little taxing. I want to rest today,” Stella said.
“Oh, okay, I’ll just go over the case cursorily. It has been a cold case for a long time. No one can solve it. If it’s solved, you’ll be well-known. If you don’t, no one will know the truth,” Vann said.
“Alright, let’s go and take a look at the new group member,” Stella said and walked towards the office.
Her team members rushed in front of her as soon as she entered the room.
Ray praised her, “Stella, you’re awesome. You will be the leader of Eleven from now on. We’ve decided it unanimously.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Let’s discuss it together,” Stella looked behind Ray and saw Black.
“Are you the new member?” Stella asked directly.
Black nodded his head.
Stella looked at him thoughtfully. The ones who funded the research center and Eleven were one and the same.
As the security minister of the research center, it was natural for him to replace Alissa.
“I hope you’ll be able to work well together in the future,” Stella said lightly.
At this moment, Vann came over and said to Stella, “Black, since you guys met yesterday, I’ll introduce you to the others. He’s Black, your new group member.”
“Vann, we only have one girl in this group. Isn’t it too skewed?” Hogward said.
“Would you believe it if I saw that there might not be any women in the team in the future?” Vann replied.
Hogward laughed awkwardly.
Black looked at Stella with a loaded gaze, as if he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Vann, “Sheldon, please explain the case to them.”
“Alright,” Sheldon came in with the information.
“Ah, Vann, couldn’t you let us take a break? We haven’t slept since yesterday,” Edwin complained.
“I’m giving you a break. We’re just going to explain the case today. Because it is a cold case, you may start the investigation tomorrow.” Vann explained and gestured for Sheldon to begin.
Sheldon passed a copy of the information to everyone in the room. “This was discovered by a nautical exploration team in the first half of the year.”
Looking at the information, Stella saw that there were six iron cages in total, many of which were filled with skulls while some still had clothes and teeth. In the last cage, there were three corpses that were considered fresh as they still had muscle tissues intact.
“From our calculations, there are twenty people here. Because they were thrown into the sea, they couldn’t determine the cause of death. However, the preliminary investigations showed that these cages were not dumped into the ocean within the same period of time. They were affected by external currents, animals, plants, and some micro creatures, hence, a lot of bones were missing. However, because the skull is relatively large, they were left behind,” Sheldon explained.
“There are still muscle tissues on the corpses inside the last cage. We could extract their DNA from it, yes?” Stella asked.
“Yes, we did that, but we couldn’t find any match with the people in our database. Their fingerprints are gone too, so we hit a dead-end,” Sheldon explained.
“What about using the skull to restore their face?” Stella asked again.
“We did so too. We added the tissues according to the appearance of the skull. We roughly restored their appearance about 60% to 80% of their original appearances and posted them on the internet. Over the past six months, only one person has said that he recognized one of them, and…”
