Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Mismatch of Intelligence
Barry looked at the man in front of him who was about to hang up, and directly took out the sheriff's ID that had just arrived, and gestured to him.
"Hello, my name is Barry, and I'm the new sheriff, because of Mr. James's previous report, the sheriff's chief specially sent me here to take charge of what Mr. James said."
Looking at Barry's young face, the face of the man who opened the door clearly expressed doubt, but after carefully checking Barry's papers, it was indeed exactly the same as the documents of the sheriff who came before.
Although he was puzzled as to why Barry became a sheriff at such a young age, he completely opened the door and invited Barry into the estate.
Barry took two steps at will, and as soon as he entered the manor, Barry's spirit that was higher than ordinary people felt a trace of heaviness, as if there was some danger in the manor, but fortunately, the danger level was not high.
And when Barry came in, the man at the door closed the door again, and Barry's ears sounded "squeak" again, so he couldn't help asking.
"Hello sir, why do you close the door so tightly, don't you usually go out from here?"
Since Barry had never been in contact with such a large manor in the two generations, he didn't know much about the structure of this kind of manor, but Barry felt that something was still wrong.
In the previous manors, the gates were all large iron gates similar to fence gates, and there were several openings inside, and when the servants walked, they used the small doors next to them to enter and exit, and the master of the manor would open the gate completely.
The gate of James Manor is a completely large iron gate, which is divided into two gates, with no opening of the side door in the middle, and no gap for light to pass through, so you can't see the scene on both sides.
"Hello, Mr. Barry, you can just call me Jimmy, the reason why I closed the door is because the owner doesn't like to be disturbed, so he doesn't want unrelated people to enter the manor at will."
Although Barry could detect the loopholes in Jimmy's words, he was confident that even if the door was closed, he wanted to get out, which was a matter of kicking one more time.
Since Jimmy didn't want to say the reason for the closure, Barry was not reluctant, anyway, this door couldn't stop him, what were you afraid of, and after a while, the trouble of the manor would be solved, and everything that should be known will be known.
Jimmy led Barry to the center of the manor, where Mr. James rested, and along the way Barry saw several more servants, who also had very bad faces, similar to Jimmy.
"I'm like you, this resentful spirit can't be a female ghost who sucks yang energy, and I don't know if this method is popular in the Western world."
Barry did not change his complexion, complaining in his heart about the possible resentment of this manor.
Although the manor was quite large, Jimmy took Barry, and it didn't take long for him to be in the center of the manor, in one of the best decorated houses.
"Mr. Barry, the master is watching TV in the living room inside, and you can see him a few steps further."
Jimmy, for some reason, doesn't intend to lead Barry to simply James, but lets Barry go to see him alone.
Saying goodbye to Jimmy, Barry walked into the room, and sure enough, an emaciated man in his sixties was watching TV.
His sparse gray hair tells the world of the pressure he was under, his upside-down triangular eyes make people think that he is not a kind person, and his bad complexion makes people worry about whether he will die suddenly.
This world has initially entered the electric society, and there are electric lights, telephones, and televisions, but the penetration rate is very low.
The TV is still a luxury now, and there are few programs, the utility rate is not high, and Mrs. Celine is worried about money, so she didn't buy it.
The television was the most primitive of all, with a black and white screen of about 12 inches in a plastic box, a few knobs next to it, and a long antenna on it, in which a news program was playing.
"Hello, Mr. James, I'm the new sheriff here, and I'm in charge of the case you mentioned earlier."
Barry turned his words to Jimmy to the old man in front of him, pulling out his sheriff's ID.
Hearing what Barry said, James turned his head and said to Barry in a weak voice.
"The new sheriff? Have a seat. ”
Hearing this, Barry casually sat on the sofa next to him, after all, he was a little mentally tired after walking such a long way, and he was just resting.
Watching Barry sit down, James continued, with a bit of a dying look in his tone.
"I went to the police station to report the case before, in fact, I had hallucinations, I was old, I had a little visual and auditory hallucinations, and the family doctor came over and prescribed me a little medicine, and I got better after taking it."
Listening to the words of the elderly Mr. James in front of him, Barry complained in his heart: "You are teasing me, now it is an illusion, are you playing the security bureau as a fool, or are you treating me as a fool." ”
But before Barry could speak, suddenly out of James's bedroom, a beautiful woman, with white skin, beautiful long legs, and long blond hair, looked very charming.
The bewitching woman, who was in her thirties, walked straight up to James's side, and with this casual attitude, Barry felt like James's daughter.
"Hani, what kind of young handsome guy is this?"
The bewitching lady held James's shoulders, stared at Barry in front of her, and licked her lips after asking, as if she was seducing Barry.
"Demi, this is the new sheriff, I had hallucinations before, and I went to the sheriff to make some trouble, and this sheriff came to ask about the situation."
The bewitching lady named Demi, after listening to it, said in a charming and seductive voice.
"I didn't expect the current sheriffs to be so handsome, it's a pity that this face is so good, it's better to let my sister hurt you......"
And Jaime listened to Demi's more and more outrageous words, as if he felt embarrassed to be in front of outsiders, and couldn't help but interrupt her with a loud voice.
"Demi, you should go and make a cup of black tea for your guests now to quench your thirst, instead of saying these things here."
James's words still seemed useful, and Demi left the living room after listening, as if to look for the tea set to help Barry make tea, but as she walked past Barry, her left hand casually ran across Barry's cheek.
"I really didn't expect that I would let people tease me, but with Demi's bewitching appearance, I don't feel a loss."
Barry thought to himself, but quickly shook his head violently.
"Barry, you are a non-chaotic Yanagishita Megumi, a decent gentleman, like that kind of bewitching bus, but not worthy of you, you have to hold on."
James looked at Barry's shaking of his head and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Mr. Barry, are you feeling a little unwell?"
Hearing James's question, Barry came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”
After answering, Barry asked James rhetorically, what is the relationship between this Demi and James.
"Demi is my second wife, we have been married for seven years, and I was lucky to meet Demi, a little angel, at that age, and married her."
When Barry heard these words, his mind was full of questions, and he couldn't even complain about "a pear tree pressing begonias, and James's old cow eating tender grass".
"According to the information given to me by Phoenixine, this James really has a second wife, but they have been dead for more than a month, and her name is Jenny, and this time James reported the crime because of her.
"Where the hell did this Demi come from, why does it feel like this James is not reliable at all, is he old and confused?"
