Chapter XXVIII
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Luke Prescott. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info" said Sheriff Louise, raising her feet and walking down the hall, where Luke Prescott had not recovered for a moment after taking the police transcript.
"Mr. Prescott, I want to talk to you!" said Sheriff Louise as she walked over and sat down across from Luke Prescott, "a few questions. ā
"What I should say, I've just said. Sheriff Louise, though...... What else to ask, please go ahead and don't think about my current situation. Luke Prescott snorted a little dissatisfied, and his heart was still not at peace.
Sheriff Louise nodded, then asked, "Do you know Mr. Jia?"
"Yes, I knew this guy, a little quirky, but not familiar, I knew him through my friend Joseph, who told me there was that damn thing under this pool......" Luke Prescott snorted.
"No, Mr. Prescott, I want to tell you that it's a victim, not some damn thing. Louise corrected Luke Prescott and continued, "Listen, you just have to keep answering my questions, understand?"
"Alright, you go on!" Luke Prescott shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands indifferently.
"Why would he know there were bodies buried in the ground?"
"God knows, why didn't you ask him that question yourself?" said Luke Prescott, shaking his head nonchalantly, "and he said that when I dug it up, I would call him over." I can call him right now if you want, or I'll give you his phone number!"
"Call him. Sheriff Louise nodded.
Luke Prescott took out his mobile phone a little helplessly, ready to call Jia Huan, but as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he heard someone coming outside. But was stopped by the police. Talking about something.
"We are guests invited by Luke Prescott. Why don't you let us in, and ...... Hey, Luke-" Someone was out there calling Luke Prescott's name.
Luke Prescott looked at Sheriff Louise and said, "They're coming." ā
Sheriff Louise stood up and walked out, just as Joseph was talking to Deputy Sheriff Officer Patton, and Officer Parton stopped him and was talking something. Behind is a young man, a young Chinese.
"Paton - leave it to me here. Sheriff Louise walked up to him, waved at Officer Parton, and said, "Go get that damn body out and give the autopsy results to the FBI bastards." ā
Officer Parton nodded and left. Luke Prescott followed behind, pouting a little disapprovingly at Sheriff Louise's words. Damn corpses? Well, that's something only the sheriff can say.
"Joseph, hello!" Sheriff Louise stretched out his hand and shook hands with Joseph, then turned his gaze to Jia Huan behind Joseph, then took a step forward and stretched out his hand, "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Jia, I'm looking forward to seeing the two of us meet, but...... There are some questions that I would like to talk to you about. ā
Joseph said first, "Sheriff Louise, we're just here as guests...... Isn't that right, Luke?"
Luke Prescott shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Joseph, I'm sorry, it's not my decision anymore, the police have taken over this matter." I'm really sorry, but ...... I can still pay Mr. Jia, I can pay half of the fee, after all, the rest of the matter, has already been ......" He didn't say anything, just looked at Sheriff Louise.
Luke Prescott's remorse left Joseph speechless. He couldn't help but frown and said, "What are you talking about?" Luke, you didn't say that before, but the price we agreed on was double......"
"No, no, there's no double, even if it's the normal price, I can only pay you half because ...... The matter was only half done, and the police took over the follow-up. I'm sorry, brother, I can't do anything about this matter, the foreman has to call the police, and this matter can only be handled by the police. ā
Luke Prescott has a good point, but he has a point. Joseph was angry, but when he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Jia Huan, shook his head at him, and just stretched out his hand and said, "What about half of the cost? Give it to me, this matter is over." ā
Luke Prescott shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then took a checkbook out of his suit pocket, wrote a check, and handed it over. Joseph took it, looked at it, and couldn't help frowning: "Hey, Luke, this is not the price we agreed on at the beginning, and two thousand dollars is not half the price." At least five thousand dollars. ā
"No, no, brother, I did half of the previous things, and I spent at least five thousand dollars just to hire workers, and I still need to hire someone to do the follow-up work. It all costs money, and that's already ...... The highest price I could give, really...... I'm so sorry. Luke Prescott spread his hands and looked apologetic.
"You damn it, you're so ...... Disgusting!" Joseph was a little speechless, and looked at Jia Huan helplessly.
"No, no, Joseph, I've expected that!" Jia Huan smiled, then reached out to take the cash check and said to Louise, "I'm sorry, I just have a personal affair with Mr. Prescott, so ...... What are we going to do now? Are we here, or are we going to follow you back to the police station?"
Sheriff Louise pursed her lips and said, "That's it, what I want to ask is, how do you know that there is a corpse at the bottom of the pool?"
Jia Huan just smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Luke Prescott must not have told you my profession, why did he invite me over, did he? Mr. Prescott? Did you say that?" Jia Huan tilted his head and looked at Luke Prescott, who was standing a little uncomfortable on the side.
So Sheriff Louise set his sights on Luke Prescott.
Luke Prescott said with some embarrassment, "Well, Sheriff Louise, that's really all I didn't say, in fact, as you saw just now, I gave him a check, but it was just a transaction...... He was a psychic, and I encountered things that I couldn't believe. ā
"So...... I need a detailed explanation. Louise glared at Luke Prescott and said, "Very detailed." ā
So Luke Prescott told him what happened to him and how he invited Jia Huan, as well as Jia Huan's advice to him. Finally, he spread his hands and said, "This is the process, I have already made it clear." ā
"Better you make it clear!" Sergeant Louise snorted. Turning to look at Jia Huan, he said, "Okay, now it's your turn, Mr. Psychic, don't tell me that you will see this woman's soul or something." I don't believe that, unless you give me a reason, I'll give you a reason - arrest you. ā
Faced with Louise's threatening words, Jia Huan just shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "I am indeed a psychic, if you don't believe it, I can't help it, that's the case!"
Sheriff Louise was a little dissatisfied, glared at Jia Huan and said, "I'll give you another chance." ā
"Yes, I'm working with psychics, and I'm just accurately predicting this strange thing. That's it......" Jia Huan also spread out his hands, saying that he was helpless.
Joseph also nodded, and quickly said, "Yes, sheriff, that's the case. ā
Sheriff Louise shook her head, then looked at Luke Prescott and said, "Are you sure you went to him to do this, or is it because he's a psychic?"
"No, he was recommended to me by Joseph. I had no idea what he had done before, I just knew that the people in the town said he had quirks, like the weird old man in ...... "Cabin in the Woods". Luke Prescott chuckled.
"Hey, Luke, what are you talking about!" Joseph couldn't help but exclaim, "Do you know what you're talking about? Damn it, Luke, you have to tell the truth." ā
"Okay, Mr. Jia, I'm going to take you back to the police station now. At this point, Sheriff Louise took out the handcuffs.
Jia Huan was just as indifferent, just looked at Sheriff Louise and said, "I'm sorry, if I leave, Mr. Luke Prescott may be in danger......
Luke Prescott shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand to Sheriff Louise, indicating that he didn't care.
