There is something wrong with the town itself.

At first glance, it may sound like some supernatural force is at work, and this kind of thing is not uncommon for players like Hua Qiong and his confidants to be hard to find.

But that's not the case.

Dasco Town, located next door to Tymetown, is actually extremely mysterious, because most of the people in Tyme Town have lived in Tyme Town since they were children, and they don't care about the world outside Tyme Town at all, and only Marshall, as a sheriff, has been to Dasco Town once.

Only Morning, who is always out on business, often leaves Tymetown.

So here's the problem.

Is Mourning the only merchant in Tyme?

Of course not.

This information is the news that Hua Qiong obtained through the exchange with Anne after the exchange with her confidant: Mo Ning is not the first person to go out to do business in Taim Town, there is no doubt about this, but at the same time, he is the only one among the merchants who has survived to this day.

The reason is simple.

"Horse thieves are very prevalent in this area, after all, it is the western desert of the lighthouse country, plus the lighthouse country does not ban guns, and the big names in New York seem to have more important things to do, all in all, there is basically no one to take care of this area, and it can only rely on the sheriffs of each town."

"And some of the richer towns can summon more sheriffs and equip them with better weapons, and in their jurisdiction, horse thieves don't dare to mess around, but if they are in some poor small places, such as our town of Taim, horse thieves will have no scruples at all."

Anne's explanation was very crisp.

also told the two of them a brand new news.

Horse thief.

Because of the existence of horse thieves, the poorer and weaker the town, the more dangerous it is in this land, and it is easy to be ransacked by those fierce horse thieves, and a large part of the reason why the town of Tame did not fall to that point is actually because of Sheriff Marshall.

It is not for nothing that this sheriff has been able to be a sheriff for more than ten years.

Maybe he doesn't have a strong ability to solve crimes.

But his marksmanship is very sharp, and he is very good at training people, so the younger brothers under him are very good, maybe the weapons and equipment are not very good because of lack of money, but the quality and ability are definitely excellent in the sheriff's team, and ordinary horse thieves really dare not mess with him.

"I still admit that he .... I also know that Tame Town can't do without him, and he was just angry before. ”

"I also know why he accommodated Mo Ning, after all, Mo Ning, as the biggest merchant in the town, also has a force under his command, which is a new force to deal with horse thieves."

"Huh."

Speaking of this, Anne sighed helplessly, of course, Marshall did not listen at this time, otherwise Anne would not have been able to say what was in her heart.

And after calming the depressed Anne, Hua Qiong and her confidant were hard to find and found Marshall, who was leaning against a big tree with a bored face.

"Sheriff Marshall."

“.... Two young ladies. ”

"Could you please take us to Dasco next?"

"To Dasco Town?"

Marshall was stunned, and then shook his head: "Are the two young ladies going to inquire about the people who proved Mo Ning's alibi?" In that case, you don't need to go to Dasco Town, there is a line to contact the Dasco Police Station at the police station, just make a phone call. ”

"That's even better."

The confidant is hard to find and smiles slightly: "By the way, what time is it, Officer Marshall?" We didn't bring a watch. ”

"What time is it?"

Marshall blinked, then rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, and then said, "Seven forty-six in the evening, is there any problem?" ”

"Nope." The confidant shook his head: "It's just that I want to know." ”

"Okay, since you can directly connect to Dasco Town, why don't you go to the police station quickly, will the police station over there also be working at this point in time?"

"Of course."

Marshall raised his head: "It doesn't matter what time you are when the horse thieves attack, so as the sheriff who guards the town, our work is also around the clock." ”

"I see."

Hua Qiong nodded, and the question of a confidant that was difficult to find gradually made a certain guess in her heart clear.

Sure enough, it's a problem with the town of Dasco.

Time..... Beautiful

(If that's the case, it's a seemingly perfect technique, but it's actually very simple.) ）

(It's outrageous.) ）

(Sure enough, the more perfect it is, the bigger the flaw.) ）

Follow Marshall all the way down the mountain road, and finally come directly to the police station that he saw once in the afternoon, and as Marshall said, in the whole town of Tyme at this time, only the police station is still on duty, and the lights of the police station are always bright, like a lighthouse.

The officer guarding the door immediately stood up and saluted when he saw Marshall:

"Sir!"

"It's fine."

Marshall waved his hand, then said, "Help me get through the phone from Dasco, I'd like to talk to Ralph about that murder again." ”

Ralph is the sheriff of the town of Dasco next door.

Even a descendant of Marshall.

The speed of the phone was very fast, only a few minutes before and after, accompanied by a ding ringtone, this old-fashioned telephone, which was basically reduced to a museum exhibit in the era when Hua Qiong and confidants were hard to find, came out with a hearty laughter: "Sir Marshall, sleeping too late is not good for your health." ”

"I'm still in good health, Ralph, you don't talk nonsense."

"Hahahaha."

Marshall's angry response made the laughter on the phone a little louder, and as the sheriff of the town, the relationship between Marshall and Ralph was obviously not bad, and because of this, this kind of brotherly communication made Marshall subconsciously ignore a key issue.

But Hua Qiong and her confidant were hard to find and noticed.

For a while, Hua Qiong and her confidant were hard to find and quickly exchanged glances, and then Hua Qiong took the initiative to take a step forward and gestured to Marshall, who originally wanted to chat with Ralph.

“.......”

"Ralph, let's get down to business, I have something to ask you here."

"Sir, do you ask?"

“.... It's not me asking, it's a detective lady from New York, but she's an aristocrat, so be careful when you speak. ”

"Oh?"

Maybe Ralph is younger, after listening to Marshall's words, instead of being restrained, he whistled, and after Hua Qiong took the phone, his attitude did not change much: "Miss Detective of the aristocratic family?" If you have any questions, just ask, and I will tell you what I know! ”

"Is it something to do with Mourning?"

"I've also heard about the case on Chief Marshall's side, and I have a general understanding of the inside story, but from my personal point of view, I think it is unlikely that Mourning is the murderer, after all, he is indeed on our side at half past ten in the evening, and he has invited a lot of people over, he is a good guy."

"Sheriff Ralph."

Hua Qiong chuckled: "You misunderstood, in fact, all I have to ask are two simple questions. ”

"What?"

"First, have you ever been to Tym?"

"Well, no, after all, I'm sheriff, and as sheriffs, we can't just leave town, and Chief Marshall came once when I took over, and left after a few words, and the rest of the time we were mostly on the phone....."

"Very good." Hua Qiong nodded and continued, "Second, what time is it?" ”

"What time is it?"

This question is quite simple and has nothing to do with the case.

So Ralph only paused for a moment, perhaps looking at the clock, and then his voice came over the phone:

"Twelve and seven p.m."

"What's wrong?"

“..............”

As soon as the words fell, Hua Qiong and her confidant were hard to find, and immediately showed an expression of understanding.

Marshall, on the other hand, opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Then the old sheriff, who had been in Tyme for almost his entire life, turned his head sharply to look at the clock on the wall of the police station, and the hour and minute hands on the clock were .....

..... It was parked at 8:07 p.m.
