رونوشت کامل Annabelle Underwood's adventures: A dreadful trap (Part 3)

00:05:40.720 The bones were removed one by one from the sandalbags by different members of the tribe, whereas less us for a moment to speak with the others before returning to us and informing us that his brother would be buried the following day according to the traditions of his people. 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:49.759 He hoped that the secret of his death would be uncovered before then so that his spirit could depart peacefully. 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.319 His body would be watched over all night until the ceremony. 00:05:54.480 --> 00:06:03.600 Without wasting any more time, he gently took me by the arm and led me towards the tent where he had lived with his brother before the latter left. 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.519 Few of his belongings remain, as he has taken most of it with him. 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:30.800 I looked carefully at the collection of objects that has belonged to him, a few garments, a walrus ivory belt buckle, snow goggles, a fishing net that seems almost new, poles and snow shows, as well as an elk leather carrying bag, and a knife, a beautiful blade. 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.800 It's his leather sheet. 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:44.240 While searching, I found, hiding in the lining of one of his garments, a plan, a map with a cross mark in a very precise location and a letter. 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:51.759 Afterwards, I asked Yuashtisu to introduce me to everyone present so that I could question them. 00:06:51.920 --> 00:07:01.040 I wanted to try to retrace Wastis Kwan's life before his disappearance, to know him better in order to understand him and his choices. 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.120 Most of them were reserved at first and I understand them. 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.160 It must be difficult to speak to me, a stranger. 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:15.279 Westishu was a great help, and I understood many things about the traditions as well. 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.120 I hope I am not mistaken in what I'm telling you. 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:25.360 And I apologize in advance if my mind has not understood things clearly. 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:32.160 For them, death is not the end of itself, but the continuation of a whole. 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:41.279 After death, the soul remains around the body before joining its loved ones, its brothers and sisters. 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:46.240 In another word, a spiritual and it seems to me eternal worlds. 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:52.560 The soul has a life on its own and the body is never left alone during the victim. 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.959 Some of the various objects which this show me would be burned. 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.040 Others would be buried with him or given to his lord's wife. 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:10.000 I learned an enormous number of fascinating things about their tradition and their culture, but also about our victim. 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:16.160 I could speak of them for hours, but unfortunately, that is not the subject of this letter. 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:21.360 I will compose another one, perhaps later, to tell you more about it if you want. 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.959 Afterwards, we resume our journey to the place where West Issu has acquired his brother before his departure. 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:34.399 When I asked him to take us to the location marked on the map, West Issu refused. 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:39.440 Night was falling, and he wanted to keep vigil over his brother such evening. 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.159 I could not oppose such a request. 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:52.480 He offers that I stay for the night, and although I would have liked to accept, I had to refuse, for part of the mystery lay near the trading spot. 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.080 And if I wanted to solve this murder as quickly as possible, I have to worry. 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:07.279 He did not insist and we part after arranging to meet the next day, early in the morning, in order to visit the cross mark on the map. 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:13.679 The night was short, but the results were there had almost all the elements of the story. 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:19.039 The next morning, Westis Hugh was already waiting for me at the meeting point. 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:23.840 His face betrayed the fatigue and the long night of vigil he had just endured. 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.000 But he did not let it show. 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:32.960 The path was far shorter than expected, and the discovery far more incredible than anticipated. 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.840 Noon was striking as we returned to the trading post. 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:44.080 Haydn had just returned and passed on to me the information he had managed to gather in town. 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.440 Perfect! And I had everything I need. 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.919 We sat down at the table with the oysters to have a bite to eat. 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.159 I always prefer to make my deductions on a full stomach. 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:03.679 Thus, once the meal was over and just as everyone was getting up, I made sure that no one moved. 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:15.039 Gentlemen, if you can remain at the table a few moments longer, I would like to share with you my deductions regarding the murder of poor Wershkishon. 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:23.360 When I say share, I do not mean discuss, but listen, I hate being interrupted during my monologues. 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.639 So we may debate it afterwards. 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.320 That is, if there is anything to debate. 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.960 For I believe you will have nothing to say against my reasoning. 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.799 But anyway, let us return to the heart of the matter. 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:45.360 Let us go back in time, if you please, to the moment where Roskishon was still alive. 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.440 This young man has always lived in harmony with nature. 00:10:49.600 --> 00:11:06.399 He had great difficulty with the idea of killing animals, hunting

them for their skins, or cutting down trees, destroying what nature has given us seems to him as an act I might describe as murderous. 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.720 I am imagining nothing. 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.720 I am repeating the words of his relatives and family. 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:22.159 And in order to protect them, he went out more and more often, alone into nature for days, even entire weeks. 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:31.759 He returned home only rarely, less and less often, in order to protect what he has created in harmony with nature. 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:38.799 He did indeed leave his village, but absolutely not to find work as a guide for westerners. 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:46.159 Do you not find it strange that he would go west when Europe and his ships arrived from the east? 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:56.320 No, he lied to you, for his true goal was to stay and protect the little corner of paradise he has created on your land. 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:09.279 Hiding in a remote area of the forest, difficult to access because of the river and the marshes, lie what we might call an animal reserved, particularly for beavers. 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.840 An almost intact place untouched by human hands and protected by waskishwan. 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:24.320 A precious place for nature, those monetary value could be very significant if it fell into the wrong hands. 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:30.879 I found, hiding in the lining of these garments, a map indicating that place precisely. 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.919 The letter addressed to his brother asked him to look after it if anything bad had happened to him. 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.440 Isn't that right, Mr. 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:40.000 Brown? 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.080 Washesh Kwan told you about it in private. 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.279 You are no longer employed by the Houston Bay Company or by the fair trade. 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:56.080 For several months now, you have been working in guiding and excursions for visitors like us. 00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.840 It does not bring in as much money, but you believe there is a future in this profession. 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:10.399 As you have told us at length over the past few days, Al West Kishan, after you had gained his trust, told you about his project. 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:17.679 He asked whenever you would like to help him in his quest to protect the environment and he offered to take you there. 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:27.840 Naive and innocent, he truly thought he has found in you a solid ally who could help him protect his work and the nature is serious so dearly. 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:34.159 You follow him without saying a word and discovers that place with amazement and horror. 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:40.559 A place where beavers have taken refuge in abundance, but also caribou and martins. 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.200 All hunted for their pelts, as well as many other animals. 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.720 They

were enough to become rich, very rich, with such an abundance of life before you. 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:55.679 Your hunter's instincts, which you had allowed to sleep, suddenly awoke. 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.519 It must have made you head spin, driving you mad. 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:11.200 Perhaps you try to argue with it in a somewhat not to say very violent manner, which would explain the defensive wounds on the virus bones of his arms. 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:21.279 And most likely because he defended himself and refused to submit to your orders, you killed him with blows from the butt of your rifle. 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:28.240 Haydn and Hyde carried out tests, and the impacts on the skull seems to match your weapon perfectly. 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.120 Braid overcame your love for life. 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.159 After killing him, you fled with his body. 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.879 You were afraid it would attract scavengers and indirectly hunters. 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:49.840 You carried him away with you and eventually abandoned him a little farther off in a forest, far from the place which has become your future purse. 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:55.679 You left the body within reach of all the scavengers and predators in the area. 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.720 The marks left on the bones prove it. 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:07.759 Upon returning to town, you thought you had hit the jackpot and tried to sell in advance the animal pearls you had just seen. 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:16.399 You are now in the trade, so your reputation must have allowed you to receive advanced payments for quite a few clients. 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:23.120 But as the saying always goes, one must never sell the bigger skins before killing it. 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:32.080 For you were unable to find the place again, no matter how much third and third, it was impossible for you to find it. 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:37.759 And your clients were waiting for the order and putting more and more pressure on you. 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:44.799 So you took up the role of the guide again and deliberately brought us here despite the weather. 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:52.159 We should never have left at that moment but stayed a few more days in town to avoid that terrible storm. 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:59.039 But no, you did it on purpose so that I could find the trail of Wesky Scan's little paradise. 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:03.679 You were certain I would never make the connection between him and you. 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:11.519 You have far too much confidence in yourself, for the link between the two of you is far easier to guess than you think. 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:23.759 But you must surely have told yourself that with a skeleton I would never have been able to discover much, and certainly not to be capable of knowing that it was you who killed him. 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.799 You must have seen that I knew how to draw a face from a skull. 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.879 I wrote an article on the subject in the press a few months ago. 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:38.639 You are rather foolish, my dear, or surely desperate to have made that gross mistake. 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:40.960 Bones can say a great deal. 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.279 They can tell the complete story of the person they support for years. 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.759 Thus, you hide the bones somewhere until our arrival. 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:56.639 Then, once the storm had passed, before anyone woke up, you slip out of the post discreetly. 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:01.120 Pretending that you wanted to inspect the damage left by the storm. 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:06.160 You are our guide, so no one suspects the scheme for even a second. 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:10.000 You earned the bones and then went back to bed. 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:16.559 Watch you discover them, and all that remained for us was to conduct the investigation for you. 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.119 You made a dangerous base and you lost. 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:24.319 You set a trap, a nasty trap, which unfortunately turns against you. 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:28.160 However, you did a poor job of hiding your tracks. 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:34.960 While searching last night through the debris around the shack, I found the bag in which the body has been placed. 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:41.599 A tiny fragment, probably from one of the phalanges, has remained stuck inside the bag. 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:49.200 Haydn managed to reintegrate it into the skeleton, proving that it belonged to this body. 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:57.039 Footprints are also visible between the place when you hide the body and the place when you deposit it. 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:01.119 And the marks correspond perfectly to the sole of your shoes. 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.880 That is beginning to be quite a lot, is it not? 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:09.920 I believe I have said more than enough to prove that you killed this poor man. 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.000 In vain, in the end. 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:21.839 He tried in vain to justify himself, and against all expectations, Professor Johnson dealed him with an enormous punch before tying him up. 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:28.960 He and the others took him into town as soon as my conclusion was finished so that he could be judged. 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.519 Whilst issue, Hayden and I took the road back to the village. 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.000 The ceremony was about to begin. 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:47.119 The bands had been taken out of the tents the day before, but not through the main entrance used by the living, through the side reserve for the dead. 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.559 Making the distinction between these two words. 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:59.440 Westisquan has been carried to the cemetery near an important water point where people could keep vigil over him. 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:04.000 Today he was buried with some of the objects that had belonged to him. 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.119 Other was given to the disease's loved ones. 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:15.200 Westishu handed me a knife, the blood that had belonged to his brother, which I had seen during my search of the tent. 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:20.240 A gift to thank me for having Zeus his soul. 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.640 It would be a talisman to protect me. 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:32.960 I accepted this magnificent present as offering were placed with Wast Khan to help me move away from his healthy family and join his ancestors. 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:42.480 I contemplated this magnificent ceremony in silence until Wesishu invited us to follow him and eat with the rest of his family. 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:47.200 We left the next day to rejoin our team and continue our journey. 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:01.839 We gladly accepted his offer, for I knew everyone could trust him completely. 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:06.960 He would be a valuable allies in the weeks to come, I am certain of it. 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:14.559 We made a short detour before rejoining the others, passing through the heaven of peace created by Yuas Kishwan. 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.480 The view was santuous. 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:26.880 It felt as though we had returned to the beginning, with no human distortion or transformation, just nature and its beauty maintained by humankind. 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:38.720 We remained there for a long while, watching the beavers and caribou drink from the river, watching eagles fight through the air and dragonflies died between the rocks. 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.039 Time seemed frozen here. 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:51.359 Wastu confined to me that he would look after the place upon his return, that he would make sure to honor his brother's dream so that nothing would change. 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.759 Members of his family would care for it until he returned. 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:01.759 I think this will be the last letter I wrote to you before my return from the North Pole. 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.160 You will not, I hope, the hip hop. 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:12.240 I have tried to make to render this text as vivid as possible and to forget as few details as imaginable. 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:17.039 Wishing you all the best and until soon, Annabel Underwood. 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:18.799 And that's all for today. 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.599 Thank you again for listening to this story all the way through. 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.920 If you like it, please give us a like, subscribe, and share it to the world. 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.680 Thank you and see you soon for more adventure with Annabelle Underwood.
