Chapter 21: He's Back
Hao Yun recognized the poor woman, he patted Baoli's shoulder with some surprise, and comforted: "Baoli, calm down." ”
It was only then that Paulee raised her head and her eyes refocused.
"Mr. Hao, why are you here?"
"I'm a forensic doctor here, part-time. Hao Yun sighed bitterly, "I'll take you to see your boyfriend." ”
Baoli nodded in confusion and followed Hao Yun to the morgue.
Hao Yun stood next to Herman's corpse, lifted the white cloth, and only Herman's face was revealed.
"That's right, it's him. Polly covered her eyes and fell to the ground.
Hao Yun sighed and squatted beside Baoli, Baoli, who was emotionally broken, hugged Hao Yun and cried bitterly, Jesse shook his head and took off his coat and draped it on Baoli's shoulders.
"Ma'am, please mourn, come with me upstairs to record a confession, you may give us important clues. ”
There are only two officers on duty in the reception hall of the police station, and these two guys are intently watching the "Death is Coming" series of movies. Seeing the lazy appearance of the policeman in this police station, Hao Yun suddenly understood Jesse's pain.
Hao Yun is a specially hired "professional" of the police department, and because of this, Hao Yun has the opportunity to sit in the interrogation room with Jesse to record a statement.
"Ma'am, we looked at Herman's call logs. You had a phone call with him at about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, could you please tell us if you had anything to say to him?"
"Nothing. Paulee shook her head, "I'm just asking what he's doing." He replied that I was rehearsing at the theater. ”
Jesse rubbed the bridge of his nose and said with a wry smile, "Do you know this person?"
Jesse pulled out a photo of a middle-aged white man with a scruffy beard
Paulee shook her head.
"Did you know Herman was a money boy?"
When Polly heard this, her face turned pale, and she said angrily: "How can you insult him like this? He is an actor, and his sexual orientation is normal!"
Jesse continued, "From what I know from my investigation, Herman has been in contact with this white man, and he has a habit of looking for money boys. ”
"Then you can't ...... either"
"Did you notice anything unusual about him when you were on the phone?"
Polly covered her mouth and said wryly, "He...... He was gasping for breath when he called. He said he was rehearsing at the theater, but he hadn't received any invitations lately. So he's lying to me?"
Baoli couldn't believe that that sunny and generous young man who worked hard to chase his dreams had actually done things that betrayed his body.
As soon as she thought of this, Baoli couldn't stop trembling.
Jesse didn't speak, looking down and writing something in his notebook. Seeing this, Paulie's tears slipped down her cheeks again. Hao Yun stabbed Jesse and whispered, "Big guy, are you talking too directly?"
Jesse glanced at Hao Yun and continued to ask, "Is there anything wrong with him lately?"
He ...... He has always said lately that he has known Director James. But that was probably his lie, and other than that, there was none. ”
Jesse asked a few more things about Herman's relationships and behaviors, and then he closed his notebook, posed a poker face and said to Pauly, "Thank you for the clues, we will find the murderer as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you. Polly let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the interrogation room in a daze.
Hao Yun glanced at Jesse and snorted coldly, "How can you say that kind of thing to a lady? ”
"I'm just telling the truth. ”
"I find you worse than I speak. ”
"I have more ugly things to say. Jesse shook his head helplessly and said, "Herman deliberately lied on the phone in order to make Polly aware that something was wrong. At that time, he was probably coerced by the white, but Paulie did not hear Herman's voice.
Herman posted content on gay dating sites that someone else uploaded on his behalf. Therefore, the clue that Herman is a money boy is not credible.
The reason why I say this is because I want Paulie to hate Herman more and blame herself less. ”
Hao Yun was noncommittally silent.
He sighed, hurriedly chased out, looked at Baoli worriedly and said, "It's so late, I'll send you back." ”
"Okay. Polly nodded mechanically.
Jesse watched Hao Yun walk out of the police station with Baoli in his arms, put away the pen, and wrote Hao Yun's name heavily in his notebook.
......
"Mr. Hao, thank you for sending me home. ”
"It's okay, you have a good rest. ”
Baoli nodded and reached out to close the door, Hao Yun suddenly stopped the door, stuffed a business card to Baoli, and said seriously: "Baoli, if you encounter any trouble, remember to notify me as soon as possible." ”
"Okay. Baoli replied with a miserable smile and took the business card in Hao Yun's hand.
Closing the door, Polly casually threw her business card on the porch, turned and walked into the bedroom, and lay down on the bed. A gloomy wind blew, and Pauli shivered, and a chill ran down her spine, and she turned her head to see Herman smiling at her beside the bed.
"Paulie, it's me......"
"You...... You ......"
Polly rolled off the bed and hit her head on the bedside table. Paulee opened her eyes again, and it was bright outside the window.
Was it a dream?
Polly shook her head and got up from the ground, she went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to check her dark circles.
"Didn't you sleep well? The dark circles under your eyes are popping up again......"
In the mirror, Herman appeared, leaning on Pauly's shoulder, as usual.
"Ahh
Polly closed her eyes and crouched in the corner, she mustered up her courage and opened them again, and Herman was no longer visible in the mirror.
Hermann...... Don't scare me, dear...... You know I'm cowardly, why are you scaring me so much?" Polly squatted next to the toilet and cried.
......
"Welcome to today's supernatural reality show "Witness the Supernatural" on time, and our guest today is the omniscient Mavi ......."
At the fast-food restaurant, Connor, dressed as a soothsayer, watched the paranormal reality show intently. Although this is only a rebroadcast, Connor still watches it with relish.
Connor is short in stature, no more than 1.5 meters tall, and is a teenager.
"Mother, look, anyone can call themselves omniscient these days. It's really stinky.
Oh, mom, look!
That ghost can still breathe fire. These mortals are too imaginative. ”
Connor was eating a sandwich as she spoke into the air. The guest sitting next to her was hairy and walked away with his plate. Seeing this, the guys at the fast food restaurant looked at Connor with some complaint.
This neurotic little girl would come to the store every day for lunch, go crazy in the store every day, and talk to her "mother" every day as if no one was around.
The guys have chased Connor away countless times, but this girl always goes and returns.
"Connor, it's okay if you want to watch TV with us, but can you stop talking to yourself? Every day you scare away several guests. The guy at the fast food restaurant looked at Connor and grumbled disapprehantly.
Connor pursed her lips and replied, "I'm here to bring popularity." It's just that you don't know how to use it. ”
"What can we do with it?" tell our guests that we have a little crazy woman here every day?" teased the young man who was making coffee.
"What do you mortals know? I'm a proper psychic, not the same as the 'all-knowing' who swaggered. Do you know what it means to be omniscient?"
"Do you know what the know-all means?" said the young man, holding a rag, imitating Connor in an exaggerated manner. The whole fast food restaurant was plunged into a sea of joy.
Connor blushed, left a few coins, and left the fast food restaurant. She crouched on the side of the street, casually took a few coins from her pocket, dangled them back and forth with both hands, and then threw them out with a clatter.
Connor looked at the coins, squatted down again, and picked them up one by one: "Today's fortune is in the northeast...... Well, today I'm going to set up a stall in Lakeside Park. ”
Connor took out a folding table and folding chair, a crystal ball on the table, and a deck of tarot cards neatly arranged in the corner. Connor sat in a folding chair, looking around like a cunning rat for prey.
At this time, a woman with unkempt hair and deep dark circles walked past her. Connor grinned and said mysteriously, "Miss, please wait a minute. There seems to be something behind you. ”
The woman was stunned, turned her head to look at Connor and said, "You can see him too?"
Connor didn't expect this girl to ask such a rhetorical question, so frightened that she immediately used her yin and yang eyes to observe, and after confirming that there were no evil spirits behind the other party, she continued: "Of course, beautiful young lady. I think you've been tormented by him for a long time. ”
"Yes, he has been torturing me all day by my side. The woman begged, "Help me." ”
"Come here, ma'am. ”
The woman sat in front of Connor with a panicked expression, her eyes glazed over.
With a crystal ball attached to her hand, Connor pinched her throat and asked, "Tell me your name." ”
"Paulie. ”
"Oh, I already feel his presence. He's your relative, isn't he?"
"That's right. There was a gleam in Polly's eyes.
"He seems to be worried about you, but he doesn't mean it. ”
"I know, but I'm really going to break down. Paulie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I know he died unjustly, but if this continues, I will die too." ”
"Don't worry, friend. Connor touched the crystal ball and said, "Give me five dollars, and I'll help you get him away and get him where he needs to go." ”
As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Polly gave the money to Connor.
Connor pulled out a handful of phosphorus powder from his bosom and sprinkled it out with a thought, and a spark ignited in the air, and a pitch-black shadow dissipated in the flames like fireworks.
The phosphor powder that Connor spilled had no magical effect, she was just pretending to be a ghost, just to give the client some psychological comfort.
Where in this world can so many people really encounter supernatural events?
"Alright. He's gone, you don't have to worry anymore. ”
"Thank you so much. I can go with peace of mind......" Polly nodded gratefully at Connor.
After saying that, a desolate look flashed in Pauli's eyes, and she took off her high heels and plunged into the water without hesitation.
Connor looked at Polly dumbfounded and asked strangely, "Mom, what's wrong with this person......? Damn, she can't swim, she wants to kill herself!"
Connor stepped forward, took off her robes, and dived to rescue Pauly.
