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?

Music Recommendation: Blooming Truth - Byun Sang Hoo

When Sylvester appeared in the witness stand, it caused a ripple of murmurs through the audience. He had tried to stay brave, but it was hard. He saw Charles make his way towards him, 

"Mr. Crowley, can you tell us what was the nature of your relationship with your deceased neighbour, Margot Brooks?"

"We were nothing more than neighbours in the building. Miss Brooks attempted to express her interest in me, but I never reciprocated. A few days before her... demise, she was upset with me, accusing me of entertaining a woman in my apartment," Sylvester explained, adjusting his glasses.

"And did you?" Charles pressed.

"No. I haven't been involved with any woman since my ex-girlfriend passed away," Sylvester replied. "I loved Samantha... even though these allegations say I killed her. She's the only one I loved dearly."
