Chris parked the car on the street, and through the car window, he could see the low two-story building where the grocery store was located across the street. "Claire, you stay in the car." Chris turned his head and said, "I can go alone, you haven't rested all day." "It's okay, I can survive." Claire said nonchalantly. "No, you stay in the car." Chris shook his head, "I told you, I can handle this matter alone." Claire raised her eyebrows, she looked at Chris, hesitated and said, "Okay "Okay, you can handle it." Chris looked at Joanna sitting in the back row. She looked very tired. Ota sitting next to her also looked very tired and was resting with his eyes closed. Chris stepped out of the car, and the cool and humid air made him shiver. It was almost early in the morning, when people were sleeping the deepest. There was no one on the street, and there was an eerie silence in the light night fog. Chris felt a little uneasy and hesitated. He took out a box from under the seat and handed it to Claire. "Just in case." Chris said briefly, then closed the car door. "What is that?" Joanna asked, noticing that Claire's expression was a little complicated. Claire didn¡¯t reply. She opened the box and found a Beretta pistol and two full magazines inside. Like most small shops in the town, the grocer¡¯s home is above his shop. Chris stood in front of the grocery store and dialed the phone directly in the grocery store. Chris could hear the phone ringing from the other side of them, which sounded very clear in the quiet night. "Hello - hello." A man's muttered voice came from the phone, and Chris could tell it was the voice of the grocery store owner. "I'm a police officer. A homicide just occurred." Chris said, "We need you to cooperate with the investigation now. I'm downstairs at your house now." "Homicide!" The man said in panic, "This has nothing to do with me. , Mr. Police, I don¡¯t have anything" "Okay, now please go downstairs and open the door." Chris interrupted him rudely. He said in a threatening tone: "It is midnight now, and we don¡¯t want to disturb the nearby people. Residents, otherwise we will enter by force." "Okay, okay" the grocery store owner said nervously. The phone hung up and Chris heard rushing footsteps. The small window on the door opened, and the grocery store owner looked out nervously. Chris took out his police officer ID card and looked at him with a flashlight. "A murder just happened. I have some things to ask you. Please cooperate with the investigation." The door opened. The grocery store owner was wearing a striped suit. Pajamas, which made him look even skinnier. Then the light in the room dimmed, and the man recognized Chris and seemed even more nervous. "Hey, I don't want to cause trouble." The grocery store owner said, "If you're asking about the girl, I told you, I don't know anything." "Someone died, it was a boy." Chris closed the door, Looking at him, he said coldly, "I'm not scaring you, but that guy died miserably, and the murderer took out his heart." The grocery store owner's face turned pale, and he looked at Chris in horror, "I ¡I don¡¯t know anything.¡± ¡°You¡¯re lying.¡± Chris stared at him, ¡°You were sunbathing outside during the day, and you saw the murderer who took Shirley away.¡± The grocery store owner was stunned and turned away. Chris's gaze shrank back and he leaned weakly on the counter. "Listen, the person who died was one of the people who hurt Shirley." Chris said solemnly, "I need everyone who hurt Shirley, otherwise more people will die." The grocery store owner hesitated He was sitting there, obviously he was worried about something. After a long time, he muttered: "I don't want to cause trouble, I don't know more than you, I mean" "Hell." Chris said angrily, and he Grabbing the man's collar, he took out a gun from his arms and put it on his head, "Tell me everything you know, or I will crush your head." "I saidI said" Grocery store The boss said in horror, with a cold gun pressed against his head. He didn't have the courage to test Chris's patience. "II saw two people taking the girl away yesterday" He hesitated, "I know one of themis Bill, he is, he is Sheriff Swann's nephew." Chris Feeling a pang of anger, he let go of the grocer. Now it was clear that the son-of-a-bitch Sheriff was shielding his nephew, the murderer who had brutally injured Shirley. Chris had an urge to find Swann and his bastard nephew right now and blow their heads off. "Pah, pah!"?The sound of gunshots came from outside the house without warning, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Chris was startled and he immediately rushed out the door. The car originally parked across the street parked diagonally in the middle of the street. At that moment, he vaguely saw something flying past the roof of the car across the street and disappearing into the night. Chris glanced around cautiously, then ran over, the car door opened, and Claire and the other three jumped out of the car. Claire held the gun in her hand and nervously observed the darkness around her. "What happened?" Chris asked, "Did you fire the gun?" Claire nodded, glanced at Joanna and Otta, who were still in shock, and said seriously: "Something just attacked our car." "What is it?" Chris asked. "I didn't see it clearly, maybe it was an eagle or something." Claire said uncertainly, pointing to the car, "See for yourself." Chris put his head into the car and was surprised to find that the roof of the car had been torn open. There were several slender cuts, and there were two bullet holes next to them. The dim moonlight shone dappledly into the carriage. "We were sitting in the car, and then the thing's claws suddenly clawed through the roof of the car, and then," Joanna paused, "it seemed to want to grab the car and fly away." "That's impossible." Chris said, " "The roof couldn't withstand the weight of the entire car." "But it did." Claire looked at Chris, "When the car just left the ground, I shot the guy away, and he let go of the car and killed us. It fell to the ground, but luckily it wasn't very high." Chris frowned and let out a sigh of relief. He looked back towards the direction of the grocery store. The timid boss had already closed the door tightly. Chris turned his head, "I know the murderer who hurt Shirley." Claire and Joanna both looked at Chris, and Chris hesitated, "The grocery store owner said that he saw two people taking Shirley away yesterday. One of them is lying in the morgue now, and the other is Director Swan's nephew." None of them spoke. Chris looked at the silent Joanna. She seemed calm, but Chris could feel her deep feelings. Deep anger and hatred. "Joanna." Chris held her shoulders, "I know this is contradictory. We all hate those bastards, but we must stop Shirley from killing them. We have to save Shirley." Joanna raised her head, her eyes burning. Looking at Chris, Chris felt a little heartache for no reason. He looked into Joanna's eyes, "We will rescue Shirley, and after that, those bastards will also receive the punishment they deserve." "We will succeed." Claire said, "We will end this." Joanna looked at Claire, then at Chris, and nodded slightly. Having learned about the relationship between the murderer and Swann, Chris decided to go to the police station to have a showdown with Swann. He had to convince Swann to find him before "Shirley" killed Swann's nephew. Chris called the police station, but obviously Swann had greeted the police. The policeman on the line just gave Chris a perfunctory answer and hung up the phone. Chris had nothing to do about it. "What should we do if we encounter 'Shirley'?" Chris asked while driving. Thinking of the strange powers in previous encounters, Chris was unsure, "Otta, what can you do? "The devil can see into our inner weaknesses and confuse our minds," Ota said. "There is only one thing we can do - don't get lost in desire." To be honest, what Ota said is almost nonsense. Even the psychic himself knew it, and few people said anything. Chris parked the car in front of the police station, got out of the car and walked straight into the police station. When he saw Chris, the policeman at the door seemed to want to stop him, but Chris ignored him and quickly broke into Swann's office. What a coincidence. , Swann was sitting behind his desk, and a policeman was talking to him. Seeing Chris come in, he was stunned for a moment, and then let the policeman go out. "What do you want to say again?" Swann said with serious eyesight. Chris stared at him coldly, "I already know that one of the people who hurt Shirley is your nephew." Swan trembled, with a panicked expression on his face, "You, what are you talking about?" "You bastard are pretending to be confused with me!" Chris said angrily, "You knew about this from the beginning, you obstructed the investigation of the case, and you threatened the grocery store owner not to let him testify until someone died. You are still trying to cover up this matter. I think you know that the bastard who just died killed that girl together with your nephew." Swann was stunned, and then he slumped on the chair and looked at it in fear. Chris. "Honestly, I want to kill your bastard nephew myself." Chris narrowed his eyes and said in a threatening tone, "But I have to let him live, tell me?Me, where is he? "The Sheriff sat in his chair and said nothing. He was hesitating, and his ugly fat face tightened. After a while, he muttered, "Okay, that kid is at my house now. " "You left him there alone? "Chris asked. "I've already sent someone over. "The chief said, "Two policemen with guns. " "We have to take him to the police station. Chris shook his head, "No matter what killed that unfortunate guy, if he went to find your nephew, two policemen couldn't stop it." " Swann narrowed his eyes and looked at Chris, thinking about his words. Chris sneered, "Maybe you can bet to see if your bastard nephew will die worse. " "Well, I asked them to bring Bill here. "The Sheriff compromised. He picked up the phone and dialed the number, but no one answered for a long time. Chris frowned, "What's wrong? " "No one answered. "Swan muttered uneasily, and called the police officer he sent again, but still no one answered. The police chief showed an uneasy expression, and he dialed the phone again, but he could only hear a monotonous beep. "I'm afraid something happened? "He said to Chris, with fear and panic in his voice. "We'll rush there now. Chris said decisively, "Call your people, right away." " Claire and the three of them were sitting on the bench in the corridor outside the office. The three of them were exhausted. Joanna and Otta leaned back tiredly on the chairs and saw Chris and the police chief walking out in a hurry. Claire stood He got up and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, what happened? " "The police sent to find the second murderer cannot be contacted. I will go there now. "Chris said, he thought for a moment, "You stay here. " Claire and Joanna did not refute. They knew what Chris meant. Since the police there could no longer be contacted, it was possible that 'Shirley' was there, and Chris was worried that they would be in danger if they went together. " Wan called two more police officers, plus Chris, and the four of them drove to Swan's home in two police cars. On the way, Swann used the car radio to try to contact the police who had been sent to the house before, but there was still no one. Reply. Swan¡¯s house is near the edge of the town. There are not many people nearby. It is already early in the morning. Under the dark blue sky, the neighborhood filled with morning fog is quiet and eerie. The car drives outside the yard of Swann¡¯s house. Reese saw a police car parked on the street, which should be the car of the two police officers who lost contact. ¡°There was no one in the car. "Chris whispered, the car lights shone into the cab of the police car on the opposite side. There was no one inside. Swan parked the car at the entrance of the yard. Chris took out his gun and walked toward the yard warily. Forty thousand and two The police followed him. The yard was quiet, the footsteps of several people could be heard clearly, and there was an unsettling depressiveness in the cold and damp air. The lights in Swann's house were dark, leading from the courtyard door to the house. It was an aisle paved with floor tiles, with lawns on both sides. Near the courtyard wall, there were low bushes and a few not-so-dwarf trees. Chris's eyes swept across the shadow, and he was surprised. , he found that there seemed to be a person lying in the bushes. ¡°There is something wrong in the bushes. Chris whispered, and then slowly walked over with the gun in hand. Swann and the two policemen looked at each other, took out their guns, and followed Chris. The closer he got to the thing, the clearer it became for Chris. Catching the trace of blood in the air, Chris turned on the tactical hanging light. Under the pale light, a man in a police uniform lay there motionless. ¡°Oh, God. "A policeman whispered, his voice trembling violently. "That man is dead, there is no doubt, because his shoulders are empty, his head and most of his neck are gone, and pink muscles and white soft tissues are exposed on the ground. There was a large blood stain, which was caused by blood spurting from the carotid artery - it seemed that this unfortunate guy had his head ripped off alive by something. Swan frowned and opened the breast pocket of the man's police uniform. He took out his police card and said, "This guy is Billy, poor guy. He looked around and said, "Guster came with him. Where did that guy go?" " "They should have walkie-talkies with them. "Chris said, pointing to the handstand on the body's shoulder, "Use this to contact them. If they are nearby, we can hear them. "A policeman who came with him nodded and shouted on the channel with his mobile phone. To their surprise, they heard a call coming from the direction of the big tree next to them. Several people followed the sound and walked over. A tree was planted next to the house, and its branches and leaves formed a dark shadow under the dark blue sky. When they walked under the tree, the policeman used the walkie-talkie to talk again. This time, they heard clearly that the voice was from the beginning.?? came from. "Tick-tock" A policeman felt something dripping on his shoulder. He was stunned for a moment and raised his head, but he couldn't see anything in the shadow of the tree crown. "Tick-tock" something dripped on his face, cold and cold. Sticky, with an unsettling fishy smell. The policeman took out his flashlight and shined it upward uneasily - "Ah!" With a terrified scream, the policeman couldn't help but slump to the ground. Chris quickly turned around and raised his gun on guard. "What did you find?" Chris asked. ¡°It¡¯s¡ up there¡ hell¡¡± the policeman said incoherently, even his voice was distorted by fear. Chris walked over and slowly raised his gun. Under the light of the tactical hanging lamp - a man was hanging upside down on a branch not far from the ground. His pale and twisted face was full of pain and terror. Above his head, several In the hole that penetrated the skull, blood mixed with brain matter slowly fell drop by drop
