Chapter 557: Procedural Justice

"Pete, do you think Mary Shaw will really die?"

"Of course, if you don't do this, how can you highlight the protagonist of Jamie. You see, this is a movie, and in the movie, the villain is always subdued by the protagonist at the end."

"But I don't think she's that bad." The companion said casually.

on the big screen.

After the movie revealed the curse of the fable, following Johnny's memories, the audience also knew why Mary-Shaw chose to commit suicide and why she cursed the residents of Fair Town.

She was really just a poor person.

A person is middle-aged, without a husband, without children, living alone, and only those realistic puppets accompany her.

Although life is dull and boring, and even withdrawn, it does not affect her enthusiasm for work.

She always has a smiling face and brings joy to the children with her puppet show.

The children in the small town liked her very much, to be precise, like the vivid puppet show.

They were always pestering Mary, going to her house to play with the puppets.

But one day, a little girl named Blair drowned in a pond in the town.

A few days later, Mary went to the girl's funeral.

Blair often went to play with her, and Mary was very impressed with her and her heart was heavy.

But after the funeral, rumors arose in the town that Blair's death was not an accident, but a murder.

This is the reasoning made by the town's primary school principal, John.

One day after school, the dean saw that Bernie didn't go back and hid in the classroom dully.

The dean wanted to use a nursery rhyme to make the little boy happy and send him home, but he heard Bernie suddenly say that he hated Mary-Shaw.

When the dean asked why, Bernie yelled, "Mary wouldn't give the puppet toys and made Blair cry."

The dean felt something wrong and asked, "Have you seen Blair a few days ago?"

Bernie hesitated and said, "I went to Mary's house with her to play."

The dean suddenly stopped laughing, very serious.

But what the little boy didn't say was that he had a fight with Blair that day, and Blair fell into the water.

Bernie is very young and ignorant, and he doesn't understand what death is. He is simply afraid, so he hides it a little.

After that, Mary Shaw's life changed.

First, the police came to investigate the cause of Blair's death - it was initially identified as an accident, and after Dean John provided clues, Mary-Shaw became a suspect.

But Mary did not kill Blair. Naturally, the police investigation found nothing and put Mary back.

Confused, Mary returned home, only to find that her house was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked.

Then, Blair's parents came, Blair's father beat Mary without saying a word, and Blair's mother kept crying, claiming that Mary killed her daughter.

If the police had not stopped, perhaps, Mary would have been rushed to the hospital by Blair's father.

As for the reason for their anger, of course it was Bernie.

He is now the only "witness", and the dean even brought in a psychologist to talk to Bernie, trying to find out the details of Mary's killing of Blair.

But Bernie didn't understand anything at all, and he couldn't even remember what happened that day.

But psychologists believe that Bernie is stimulated, and it is a stress response that makes him reluctant to recall details, so he needs guidance.

During the conversation, the psychologist tried to talk a lot about what had pushed Blair down the pond in Mary's shoes.

However, for Bernie, he was tired of asking questions about this matter. He just wanted no one to ask him questions, so he nodded and replied with the guidance of the psychologist:

"I was standing far away and I saw Mary and Blair walking together...I hate Mary Shaw, she's horrible when she's angry."

Later, the dean told Blair's parents about the incident "as is", and said that Bernie's testimony alone could not convict Mary of the crime, and she was likely to be acquitted.

And then, it's Mary returning from the police station, blocked by angry Blair's parents.

Feeling great grievance, Mary ran to Bernie's house with her injuries, but Bernie's parents didn't want to talk to her.

Because in their concept, their children are ignorant and cannot lie.

Mary said angrily: "Then don't talk nonsense, and, stay away from my puppets, stay away from my family."

Bernie's mother was very excited, "What about Blair, she is so cute and innocent, how did you do it? You will definitely get retribution, you will definitely be caught and shot."

Mary cried out in pain: "I didn't, I didn't go out that day, Blair went back by himself."

Bernie's parents didn't believe it and were still cursing Mary.

In order to contact the misunderstanding, she then went to Blair's house again.

Mary wanted to sit down and talk and make it all clear.

But Blair's parents, who had just lost their daughter, couldn't contain their anger. They had already deeply believed that Mary had killed their daughter.

And what they have to do is pay with blood.

Blair's father took out a shotgun and tried to shoot Mary, but was stopped by his wife crying.

Later, the police called Mary many times, but there was still no evidence to prove that Blair's death was not an accident.

And then, Mary's life was ruined.

More and more residents of the town believed that Mary was the murderer. They threw stones at her house, threw animal corpses, and went to the supermarket to not sell her things. The disgust of the people around was so profound.

Mary was walking on the road when another person threw a stone, her head was broken, but she was indifferent.

The last time she came to Bernie's house, she asked hoarsely, "Did you see that I pushed Blair down? Why did you lie?"

The little boy hid in his mother's arms in fear and said nothing.

Everyone stood on the commanding heights, standing in the sunshine, when they saw that someone fell into darkness and could not be punished by the law, they claimed to be the messengers of justice.

They succeeded.

One dark night, Mary committed suicide, leaving behind a curse.

...

After the old man finished speaking, his expression became a little stiff.

Jamie followed Johnny's line of sight and saw Mary Shaw.

She had the same cautious smile as Billy the puppet, dark, and she didn't have a tongue.

Jamie was terrified~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After a while, Mary disappeared again, as if everything just happened was an illusion.

But how could it be a hallucination?

The next day, Johnny died.

When he died, his eyes widened, and he also lost his tongue. He committed suicide by swallowing a gun, with blood splashing on the wall behind him.

On the third day, Jamie went to the dilapidated and unpopular town of Fair.

He found the house in front of Mary, which was actually quite easy to find. The glass of her house had been smashed by stones.

Jamie looked around the house and found a notebook containing several diaries that Mary had written.

Resentment, hatred between the lines.

In the end, Jamie put the puppet Billy where it should have been put back.

In the fast and slow shots, Mary's ghost is watching all this from not far away...
