Sleepy by the side of the road outside the town.

Rorschach leaned over and looked at the corpse lying behind the bushes, a young girl of 18 or 19 years old, with long soft brown hair and a beautiful face, wearing a red and white T-shirt and low-waisted jeans, and there was a wound on the temple, blood was running all over the ground, and it had dried up to a dark purple.

Jessica was holding an evidence bag with a bag full of banknotes and coins scattered around, and it seemed that the deceased was carrying a lot of cash.

Jessica looked at the wound on the deceased's head, turned her head to look at Rorschach, and said:

"It looks like a fatal wound caused by a blunt object, and there is no murder weapon around, probably a stone was thrown on her head."

Rorschach nodded.

"The stone is probably taken."

"Possibly."

Jessica crouched down and groped around the girl's body, "No wallet and no driver's license...... What is it? ”

She pulled a card out of the pocket of her jeans, put it in a small evidence bag, and handed it to Rorschach.

Rorschach took the bag and looked carefully at the card inside, on which was written a text, written in English and another language, and he read into English:

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the goodness of God, the will of perfection and please."

"The Bible?"

Jessica looked up at Rorschach.

"Yes."

Rorschach squinted, "But I don't recognize the text below, it doesn't seem to be in English." ”

"I'll see."

Jessica stood up, took the evidence bag, and frowned, "This seems to be in German?" ”

"German?"

Rorschach paused for a moment.

Jessica shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands and said:

"I guess you can go back and ask the Lawne family, they're German."

"Okay, go back and get them to translate."

Rorschach looked down at the girl's corpse, the shirt on her body was lifted a little, revealing her lower abdomen, the surface of her skin was shining, and there were several scratches on the right side, he bent down and squinted to look at it carefully, and said:

"She had glitter on her body, and the money was all one-dollar bills and coins, and it looked like she was supposed to be a Striptease."

"Strippers?"

"Yes."

Rorschach pointed to the scratch on the girl's abdomen, "There is a scratch on the right side, and her jeans are torn, it seems that she struggled a lot before she died." ”

"Could it be that the fanatical customer who was fascinated by her did it?"

Jessica thought for a moment, "But no traces of sexual assault were found?" But...... These need to wait until after the autopsy to be determined. ”

"Let's get her to the hospital first."

Rorschach sighed and straightened up.

"Understood, I'm going to call a truck."

"Wait......"

Rorschach thought for a moment, "Call an ambulance, the truck is too wronged for her." ”

"Okay."

Jessica shrugged, "You're the sheriff, you have the final say." ”

……

In the afternoon, inside the police station.

Jessica sat behind her desk, stacks of dollars on the table, and Brian, a black police officer, stood at the desk and counted the bills for her.

Black Officer Brian put the last dollar in his hand and asked Jessica:

"Knife 1176, do you know what that means?"

"You know how to add."

Jessica smiled as she picked up her coffee.

Brian shook his head helplessly, and sorted the stacked dollars into the evidence bag.

At this time, Rorschach walked into the hall of the police station, and after returning from the scene of the crime, he was called by Mayor McCarran to a town government meeting, and he had just returned to the police station.

"Hey, Sheriff!"

Brian looked up, "This girl isn't a local. ”

"You know her?"

Rorschach asked.

"I don't know."

Brian shook his head, "I've never seen her, but she's certainly not working in our town." ”

"Why?"

Jessica asked, confused, "We haven't called the club in town yet." ”

Brian pointed to the dollars on the table and said helplessly:

"You can't make that much money in Sleepy Town."

Jessica looked at the thick dollar on the table and nodded silently.

Rorschach looked at Brian and asked:

"Do you have any clues?"

"I guess ......"

Brian frowned and thought for a moment, "It should be at Wilden's." ”

"The town of Wilden?"

Rorschach thought for a moment, and Wilden was not far from Sleepy Town, less than 50 miles.

"Sheriff, it's not a town now, it's an outbreak town."

Brian looked envious, "A lot of shale oil was found there, and now the inhabitants there are sitting under their buttocks with gold, and they can have beautiful knives in their hands while lying down, oh...... My God! …… I really want to know what's under our town! ”

"Can you blow it up?"

Jessica teased.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Brian made an exaggerated gesture, then sighed, "Blow up our town and see nothing." ”

"Alright."

Rorschach walked over and said, "Let's get down to business." ”

Brian hurriedly stood up.

Rorschach asked:

"Did you find this girl's name?"

Brian shook his head.

"Then now you go to Dr. Field at the Lower Town Hospital and ask for a copy of the deceased's fingerprints, and then go to the DMV to see if she has a driver's license."

"Yes, sir."

Rorschach turned to Jessica again and said:

"Check out Wilden's club, we'll go there in the evening."

"Understood."

Jessica nodded.

……

In the evening, Rorschach and Jessica drive a police car to a club in Wilden called Midnight.

Jessica picked up a document, looked at it and said:

"It's close to $1,200 a night, five days a week, four weeks a month, and a stripper makes more money than I do in a year!"

Rorschach leaned on the steering wheel, turned his head to look at the indignant Jessica, and thought for a while, it seems that this is really the case, the average annual salary of the Sam Country police is $59,560, and the hourly salary is $28.64, although California is the state with the highest average salary in the whole Sam Country, but that is also because the Los Angeles Police Department has raised the ceiling, for a small place like Sleeping Town, even if he is a sheriff, the annual salary is only about $70,000.

Sometimes when you think about it, it's really more popular than people.

Jessica suddenly stared at Rorschach and asked:

"You know what? I can jump too! ”

Rorschach glanced at her and shook her head.

"And I've always thought my little buttocks are pretty good......"

Jessica sighed, "Maybe I should go for the job too, sheriff, can you write me a letter of recommendation?" ”

"I can't."

Rorschach smiled.

"Oh! Oh, God! ”

Jessica yelled, "Sheriff, don't you know that I haven't bought a bag in a long time?" ”

Rorschach glanced at her and said lightly:

"I thought you didn't like those."

"I'm going crazy! I'm a woman too, okay! ”

"Yes, yes."

Rorschach nodded hurriedly, and at this time, the town of Weldon was already in front of him.
