Scarecrow of 1889

There once was a boy who was an orphan and suffered abuse from his village residents. The only friend he had was the dummy scarecrow on the field, whom he talked to. One day, a wealthy man brutally beat the boy. The next morning, the wealthy man was found dead, and the scarecrow was covered in blood.  Terrified, the villagers were convinced that the scarecrow had come to life to avenge its tormented friend. And it was the last scarecrow ever placed again in the fields, considering it a sign of death.  —   After scarecrow dolls begin appearing in the streets of Riddleford next to murder victims, the town is thrown into chaos. When the hunt for the mystery scarecrow murderer begins, it is only a matter of time before the famous Frontier Hall Opera House employees are subjected to suspicion, each protecting a secret of their own. But is that all that is going on? Or is there something unseen?

With the latest victim

Jane's coach drove her to Reynolds residence right away, while she forgot to leave a message for Ricardo about the recent developments about the copy killer. Once she arrived before Reynoldses place, she noticed three carriages stationed at the front, and the lanterns burned brightly outside the house. 

She entered the house, her eyes skimming through the place, when suddenly Sergeant Gruger appeared before her like an evil omen. 

"Miss Reinhart," Sergeant Gruger announced. "I don't remember you being assigned to this case, that you have come here." His eyes were narrowed at her in suspicion. 

"I am the one who called Lady Jane," Mrs. Reynolds responded from the back and Sergeant Gruger and Jane turned to look at the fairly older woman, who made her way to them. "Is there a problem, Sergeant?" she asked in a firm voice.
