Coffin?
Jason narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
The most direct meaning of this message was none other than the 'coffin' itself.
And what does a 'coffin' represent?
The deceased!
Edward fit this criterion perfectly.
So, was this message referring to Edward?
Jason felt it wasn't that simple.
The detective had bought this 'coffin' doll three days in advance, had three days to articulate more directly that it was 'Edward,' without needing to beat around the bush.
Or perhaps...
At that time, the detective couldn't clearly state the name 'Edward' and could only indirectly allude to 'Edward'?
With this in mind, Jason looked towards John, signaling him to continue speaking.
"After the first three people died, no further deaths occurred,"
"Yet no one has any valuable clues."
"As time passed, everyone gave up."
"And the story of 'missing Edward' became a rumor in the underworld."
John recounted the information he had bought from the informants.
No subsequent deaths?
