All sectors of society are still interested in the tragedy that took place at Mr. Barton's wedding 20 years ago, and people have asked about the details of the events of that day countless times.For this memoir, we interviewed the relevant parties of the wedding. The content of this memoir has not been modified in any way to present the truth to the greatest extent possible.
Participant A: I remember that day. It was raining outside, and I was standing in the corner of the banqueting hall, enjoying a cup of Water of Life. The waiter was attentive, pouring cup after cup for me, that I had to lean against the wall to barely stand still when the wedding reception started. My ears were buzzing, and I couldn't hear what the people on the stage were saying.
I closed my eyes for a while...I swear it all happened in a split second. When I opened my eyes again, it was dark in the hall, and the waiter beside me immediately lit a candle and walked towards the center of the hall. The frightened crowd was shoving each other, and I was pushed to the back when I heard someone in front of me shout, "Someone is dead!" I had to hide behind them desperately.
Participant B: The honorable Mr. Barton invited me to attend his second wedding. Mr. Barton, As you must know, was a generous and successful man, but it was a pity that his first wife, Claire Danglars, who had a frail constitution, died in childbirth a few years after their marriage. Even so, Mr. Barton remained close to Mrs. Claire's father, Mr. Danglars, a captain of a merchant captain. Ah, it's a pity that a villain should have killed Mr. Barton.
Participant C: I was sitting in the front row. Mr. Barton and his wife were in front of me, and Mr. Danglas, the captain of a merchant ship, was seated to my left. I heard a thundering dull sound before the lights in the hall went out. Mr. Barton took the candle handed over by the waiter and told everyone not to panic. It didn't take long for me to see a shadow flashing behind me. Soon I heard Mr. Barton's pained moans.
Participant D: It must have been Danglas! Barton forced Danglas to marry his daughter, Claire, to him to take over the management of the Danglas fleet. But that's not all! Barton was also planning to kill an excellent sailor in the fleet—a sailor who was already engaged to Claire! (Author's note: The investigation into the allegation was dropped soon after the mysterious death of Captain Danglas shortly after the wedding.)
