The Damrons nodded. Even Mark said coldly, "Let's not talk about Jasper's death. Perhaps Macon and his accomplices did frame Matthew the last time, but this time, even the voice sounds like Matthew's. How do you suppose they did that?"

Melvin explained, "Mimicking Charm. Orleanians know that. Mimicking Charms can be used to mimic anyone's voice. They are often seen next to Voodoo. It's easy to mimic anyone's sound."

The Damrons were stupefied, while Aurelius frowned. "That is nonsense. I've never heard of anything like that."

Melvin said, "Just because ya never heard of it doesn't mean it's not real. Ya can ask any Orleanians about it. They'll tell you the truth."

An angry Aurelius roared, "You're just trying to help Larson, aren't you? I saw him with my own eyes. Heard him with my ears! That can't be wrong!"

Melvin chortled. "Ya think ya can believe ya eyes and ears? Honestly, I don't understand how ya managed to be the family head. Think with ya noggin. If Matthew wanted to kill ya, ya would have been dead. The killer let ya live so ya can tell yer family 'Matthew' was the killer. Can't believe ya failed to see through the oldest trick in the book. Yer a failure."

Did he just mock me? Fuming, Aurelius roared, "What are you talking about? He didn't let me live. I was lucky-lucky enough to escape with my life. He'd love to have killed me, but he didn't have the strength. What I saw with my eyes and heard with my ears is the truth! You wanna prove it's not him? Well, show me the proof, then!"

A smile tugged on Melvin's lips. "Ya want proof? I got proof." He whipped out a glass box. "Here's the proof ya want!"

The Damrons huddled closer and stared at the glass box in surprise.

It was filled with soil, and there was a pile of white powder on the surface. There wasn't much, and they'd have missed it if they didn't look closer.

Aurelius hissed, "What kind of proof is this? A handful of soil can't prove Larson's innocence."

Melvin explained, "We got this soil around the place where we found yer uncle's body. That white powder you see is some sorta bug. This means that yer uncle was cursed before he died. We found his body later, but it's all dried up. It's proof he was killed by Voodoo. Is that proof enough for ya?"

The Damrons broke into discussions. A lot of them were starting to suspect Lord Voodoo and his cohorts as the real killers.

Mark had a frown on his forehead. His eyes were fixated on the box, but his mind was elsewhere.

Harper pouted and sneered. "Who knows where they got the soil? Maybe it's some sort of trick you're pulling so you can frame Voodoo."

Melvin shot him a look. Coldly, he said, "If ya don't trust us, ya can ask yer lackeys. Some of them came to the city before ya did."
