Chapter 30: A Possibility
The process went more smoothly than Roddy had imagined, and when he smashed through the glass and fell into the street and startled several passers-by, he was no longer threatened or hindered.
Roddy quickly got up, looked back at Moraby's house, and saw a figure in the window, and he slowly closed the curtains, and nothing happened.
Roddy clutched his fiercely beating heart, noticed the doubtful and wary glances cast by passers-by, and quickly left the place and returned home.
Feeling the coldness in the room, Luo Di shivered unnaturally, and a voice suddenly sounded:
"Roddy?"
Roddy was startled for a moment, and then realized that it was his mother, Elijah's voice.
"Yes, it's me..."
Roddy's tense spirit eased slightly, but he was skeptical that Morabi would let him go so easily.
Wearing an apron and a feather duster in her right hand and a garbage bag in her left, Ilya looked like she was cleaning the room, and Roddy noticed that she was coming in the basement.
It was clear that Ilya was cleaning the basement.
"What's going on? Your face isn't very good. ”
Ilya looked at Roddy's pale face and slightly sweaty forehead, put down the tools and garbage bag in his hand and stepped forward quickly, while Roddy took a step back, feeling Ilya's slightly warm hand on his forehead, and a sense of relief arose.
"It's fine, it's just an accident. ”
Ilya didn't want to pursue it, she felt that the child was old enough that there was no need to get to the bottom of it, but when she found the blood dripping from the back of Roddy's right shoulder, she finally exclaimed.
"You're hurt! What the hell happened?!"
Only then did Roddy feel some slight pain in his right shoulder, and he touched some slippery liquid with his hands.
It's blood, fresh blood.
I'm under attack?
That was Roddy's first thought, and then he realized that it might be the injury he had sustained when he broke through the glass, and he was sure that Morabi had done nothing to stop him from escaping.
However, he was unsure of the Extraordinary One's methods, so he was very cooperative with Ilya's treatment and bandaging.
In the process of bandaging, Ilya's reproach was inevitable, and Roddy tried to weave the lie as methodically as possible.
"The window of my neighbor's house suddenly shattered, but fortunately I reacted quickly, but it still didn't seem to be completely out of the way. ”
"Neighbors?"
Ilya was skeptical, but the wound on Roddy's right shoulder did look like a glass cut, but fortunately it wasn't very deep.
"Yes. Roddy replied firmly.
Ilya was silent for a moment, bandaged Roddy and packed up the medical tools, then took off her apron and prepared to go out.
"Mother.. Where are you going?"
Roddy hesitated for a moment but shouted out, rarely in his memory had he seen Ilya display such a gloomy expression.
"My son was hurt, shouldn't I come to the door to theorize. ”
Roddy immediately regretted his lie, and although he didn't specify which neighbor it was, it was easy to tell from the glass shards on the street that Ilya was in danger.
"No, Mother, I don't think it's the right time, maybe it's time to wait, whose windows will shatter inexplicably?"
Roddy's implication was obvious, maybe the neighbor was staging domestic violence or some other accident, in short, it shouldn't be such an abrupt visit, and Ilya did hesitate to stand still.
"Well, I'll look for a suitable opportunity. ”
Ilya's answer finally made Roddy breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he had a great sense of crisis, he would never allow Ilya to be hurt, although she was not a mother in the real sense, but she was still the only relative who was related by blood in this world.
Roddy calmed down and thought about the relationship, and gradually sorted out a clear line.
The real Roddy summons a being through a mysterious ritual, and this being disguises himself as Morabi to carry out a dismemberment and murder, and all of this is very consistent with the timeline.
In this way, the plan that Morabi provided to Mr. Issad was definitely extremely problematic!
Roddy's thoughts tightened.
Why did he do this because the plan proposed by Morabi had given Mr. Issad enough protection to help him commit the murder?
Experience the Hardmode method of killing?
Morabi was obviously not so blatant as to confront the church and the police, and judging by his first two killings, he was an absolutely cautious and cunning offender.
But why would he let me run away and not do anything?
Roddy's thoughts gradually began to be confused, he took a slight breath, rubbed his temples with his fingers tiredly, calmed down for a while, and then re-combed the plan that Mr. Isad had mentioned.
Morabi provided Mr. Issad with a list of possible victims, so that Mr. Issad could bring the killer to the attention of the killer, who would target the murder directly at Issad and then fish for law enforcement. ”
"Turn the tiger away from the mountain!"
Roddy stood up violently, and instantly understood Moraby's intentions, this weird and cunning murderer directed and acted in a scene, and the list of possible victims was definitely fake!
"No! I must tell Mr. Isad!"
After sorting out the stakes, Roddy put on his clothes and was about to rush to the newspaper office, when Bob's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Where do you want to go?"
Roddy looked nervously left and right, and he could be sure that there was no one in the room except himself and Elijah.
"Auditory hallucinations?"
Roddy gradually frowned, muttered to himself and walked to the entrance again, but the door opened by itself, and a tight black Bob was standing in the doorway.
"Bob Policeman?"
Roddy was slightly stunned, and then realized that it was not an auditory hallucination, but Officer Bob's expression was not friendly, and his gloomy and serious face made him sense something unpleasant.
"Surprised?"
The corners of Bob's mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a hint of banter.
"Uh... Indeed, I was thinking of going to the newspaper office to find Mr. Isad. ”
"Hehe... I thought you were going to run away. ”
Run away?
Roddy didn't understand why Bob had such an idea, but he was sure that the bad feeling had clearly come true.
Bob casually closed the door and staggered past Roddy to say hello to Roddy's mother.
"Hello, I'm Officer Bob, you should remember me. ”
Elijah, of course, remembers that this large, fierce-looking but actually kind cop introduced Roddy to a good job.
Thank you very much for your help to Roddy, I didn't expect you to visit in person. ”
Ilya warmly invites Bob to sit on the couch and beckons to Roddy, asking Bob at the same time:
"Sir, do you need black tea or bitter tea?"
Bob smiled kindly and said he didn't need to, and then said what he meant.
"I have some work things I'd like to ask Roddy, if you can, can you let me talk to Roddy alone?"
Ilya looked at Roddy suspiciously, and finally glanced at Bob, confirmed that Bob was not wearing a police uniform, and then agreed to Bob's request, Roddy had already sensed something, so he stepped forward to invite Bob to his room at the right time.
