Ryder quickly assembled his super cannon and stood guard at the door while Wilbur strode right in.
They saw Andre sitting in the living room, elegantly drinking his red wine. He looked at Wilbur with a smile and commented, "Mister Penn, that's very rude of you." "Out with it. Is this your doing?" Wilbur asked in a low voice.
Andre shrugged, then poured Wilbur a glass of red wine. It looked as thick as blood.

Wilbur scoffed and said, "I've set my rules in Seechertown. If you break them, you'll have to be punished regardless of your identity." "Mister Penn, I believe you've gotwrong this time. I really have no idea what you're talking about," Andre said helplessly. Wilbur frowned. Andre did not seem like he was lying.
However, he could not imagine who else would cause a bloody scene like that apart from the Church of Bloodism.
"Are you sure it's not you?" "I can swear on the nof the great Blood God. I didn't do it," Andre said, smiling faintly.
Wilbur groaned and said, "It better not be you. I'm not against you staying here. That's your freedom to do so. However, don't start any funny business or that'll be your doom." With that, Wilbur turned around and went out, taking Ryder with him.
Andre shrugged and said, "He sure has quite the temper." Wilbur and Ryder hurried over to the Special Forces headquarters in the car. Ryder asked with a frown, "Is he really innocent?" "He should be," Wilbur responded.
"What do we do now?" "We'll have to work on that couple. Let's have another talk with them." The two arrived at the Special Forces headquarters in a hurry. Elsa led them to a room where the terrified couple were in.
The couple looked at the trio. Their eyes were filled with terror.

"Your father is asking you to give him money and place it behind the gravestone? Should you be burning soffering to him instead?" "My father asked for real money," the man replied.
Wilbur chuckled right away and said, "Damn it. Looks like someone's playing stricks. Let's go. Taketo your father's grave." "Uhm... is that wise? I'm quite scared." The couple were clearly distressed and timid.
Wilbur could understand their plight. As a mere mortal, who could remain unfazed after encountering something like that? "We're helping you solve the problem. You don't want your late father to appear again, do you?" Wilbur asked.
The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded. However, his wife could not be convinced to follow along.
In the end Wilbur and Ryder took the man and took off once more to the suburbs. Meanwhile, Elsa went on with her work. After all, this case was no longer under her jurisdiction. The man's nwas Yanfren. He cfrom a rural area outside Seechertown and has moved to the city for many years. His hometown was slightly over 100 kilometers away, so it took them two hours to get there by car. The village he was from was called Hill Village and belonged to Windside Town. It was already late at night when they arrived.
Yanfren was too scared to visit the grave at night, so Wilbur had no choice but to spend the night at a hotel in town and wait for morning to come.
Early next morning, Wilbur woke Yanfren up and they made their way to Hill Village.
