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?

TRING! TRING! TRING TRING!

A phone rang loud and clear in an office, against the sounds coming from the street. Soon the phone was answered, and after a brief exchange, the receiver was returned to its cradle with a decisive click.

"Milady," Addison's voice broke the silence as he entered the room, finding Jane perched on the edge of her desk, her attention focused on the board covered with details of the scarecrow's victims. "There's news from the parish house in Milfred Garden. A woman in Ireland, Samantha O'Brien, had her eyes and heart gouged out."

Jane's brow furrowed in concern. "Do we have any more details?"

Addison nodded. "She was murdered nearly a decade ago, with a blood scarecrow found nearby. I've already requested the investigation sheet to identify any connections."
