She couldn't help but keep the phone farther away from her ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Inspector Katyusha, what's the matter with Chilton being arrested by you? The California Highway Patrol failed to carry out the arrest mission?"

"I don't have any other way."

"There's no other way? What do you mean by that?"

She tried desperately to calm her voice, "I decided not to shut down that blog. We know that Travis will go up and read it. Chilton begged him to turn himself in. The boy might see, maybe we could convince him to turn himself in. ”

"But, Katyusha," Terrence sounded cornered, "overall, the Sacramento side still thinks it's better to turn that thing off." Don't you agree?"

"I don't quite agree, Terrence, you went through my file, did you?"

The silent pause was like a mine exploding at the touch of a button.

"I didn't read any private information."

"Whatever you look at is a violation of professional ethics and even a violation of the law."

"Katyusha, I really didn't see it." Terrence argued.

"Inspector Katyusha." Royce's voice was now calm, effectively pushing Terrence aside as she did. She was reminded of a common phenomenon observed during interrogations: that people with a strong desire to control were dangerous. "Someone is dying and Chilton doesn't care. yes, it makes us all look bad, from you to Terrence to the State Bureau of Investigation to Sacramento, every single one of us. I don't mind admitting it. ”

Katyusha was not interested in the substance of his argument: "Hamil Gu, you try again, whether there is an arrest warrant or not, it will end up with the attorney general and the governor, and the press."

Terrence said: "Hamilton. She meant to ......"

"I think he's pretty clear what he means to me, Terrence."

Her phone beeped and she received a text message from Hugh.

"I want to receive text messages." She hung up the phone and cut off the call to her boss and Royce.

She picked up her phone and read the striking text on the screen.

Katyusha –

Travis was found in the new district. The police missed and did not catch it. But it was reported that another person had been killed, and that he had died. In Carmel, near the end of the Cypress Hill Road, I was on my way there. Can I meet you there?

―Hugh

She replied, "Okay," and ran toward the car.

She turned on the police lights. She often forgets that there is something in the car, and a detective like her rarely spends time chasing a murderer, and Katyusha sped through the evening twilight.

Someone else was killed......

The attack probably occurred shortly after they thwarted the attack on the Hawkens. She guessed right. The boy was probably angry that he had lost his hand, so he continued to find another person.

Spotting a fork in the road ahead, she braked hard, slowed down, and got on a winding country road. The vegetation was lush, but the dark clouds filtered out the color of the plants, making Katyusha feel as if she was in another world. It's like in Aeria, the land in Dimension Tracing.

The image of Stricker holding a sword appeared in front of her eyes......

I really want to learn, what can you teach me?

Die......

She also remembered the picture of the boy's broad lines of her chest being stabbed with a sharp blade.

Then a ray of light flashed before her eyes: white light and colored light.

She drove over and parked next to other vehicles, the county police department's car, and a crime scene investigation vehicle. Katyusha got out of the car and went straight to the scene of the commotion. "Hey." She nodded at Hugh.

"Have you inspected the scene?" She asked.

"I've just been there myself." He explained.

They walked towards the place where the body was lying, covered with a black cloth. Yellow? A colored cordon conspicuously encloses the site of the incident.

"Did anyone see him?" She asked the officer at the county police department.

"Yes, Inspector Katyusha. It was 911 in the new district of Monterey. But by the time our man arrived, the man was gone. This is an exemplary citizen. ”

"Who is the victim?" Hugh asked.

He replied, "I don't know yet." Apparently the situation is bad. This time Weiss used a knife instead of a gun, as if he was very calm. ”

The sheriff pointed with his right hand to a place 50 feet away from the trail, where the weeds were overgrown.

She walked with Hugh towards the sandy land, and a minute or two later came to a place separated by a cordon. Six plainclothes police officers in civilian clothes stood there, and an officer from the Crime Scene Investigation Division crouched next to the body covered in black tarpaulin. i

They nodded to an officer from the Monterey County Police Department. He was a stout Latina who had been a colleague of Katyusha for several years.

"What does the victim's ID card say?" She asked.

"An officer found his wallet." The officer pointed to the body, "They are verifying." We only know him at the moment, male, in his 40s. ”

Katyusha looked around, "I don't think I was killed here. "There are no residential areas or other buildings nearby. The victim also does not walk or run here, there are no paths.

"That's right." The officer continued, "There wasn't much blood either. It's like a criminal drove a car to pull the body here and throw it away. Some tire traces were found in the sand. We guess the criminals stole the victim's car and threw him in the trunk, just like the first girl to be killed, Tammy. Only this time the criminal did not wait for the tide to come up, but stabbed him to death. As soon as we find the identity card of the deceased, we can issue a warrant to investigate the vehicle. ”

"Are you sure Travis did it?" Katyusha asked.

The officer said, "I don't believe you'll see."

"Was he tortured?"

"Looks like it has."

They stopped at the crime scene cordon, 10 feet from the body. A police officer from the Crime Scene Investigation Bureau (CSI) is surveying like an astronaut in a jumpsuit. He looked up at the two officers and nodded in greeting, and through the goggles he could see an eyebrow raised.

"You want to see it?" He said.

"Yes." Katyusha replied, wondering if he thought the woman would be uncomfortable at the sight of the tragic situation. Yes, in this day and age, this is still the case.

In fact, though, she's mustering up the courage to watch. The nature of her work is mainly working with living people, basically. She is not yet completely indifferent to the picture of death.

He was about to lift the covering when a voice came from behind her, "Inspector Katyusha?"

She looked back and saw another uniformed officer walking towards her, holding something in his hand.
