271 Arrest

Rorschach narrowed his eyes and stared into the living room, where he could already feel a little bit of the thread from the conversation between the priest and Craig.

The cause is the death of a girl named "Dana", and eighty percent of it is related to Craig, even if he is not the murderer, he may be an indirect murderer. Otherwise, there is no need to choose to move, or even steal corpses and set fires to disguise death in order to avoid the priest's questioning.

When the priest heard Craig's words, he raised his head and let out a bitter laugh, followed by a sharp bow of his head with a vicious gaze.

"Say, tell me how the hell Dana died!"

"I didn't kill anyone, it has nothing to do with me! It's true! ”

The priest was clearly not satisfied with Craig's answer, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to Mrs. Thurseen, who was sitting on the couch.

"It seems that you will only tell the truth if you feel my pain."

"What are you going to do!?" Craig hurriedly turned his head to look at his mother.

Mrs. Thursian sat on the sofa with a dull expression, her eyes staring straight ahead, as if she had no idea what was happening in front of her, as if she were suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Seeing his mother's condition, Craig's eyes widened and his voice became trembling.

"You...... What did you do with her? ”

"If you want her to get back to normal, tell me the truth."

The priest raised his hand and slapped Craig's face to stop staring at his mother.

After a few snaps, Craig turned his head, took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and then looked up at the priest.

"Dana was killed by an evil spirit."

"Evil Spirit ......"

"Really, I don't lie to you, it's really an evil spirit!" Craig looked at the priest in horror, as if he was afraid that the other party would not believe him.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I usually upload videos to YouTube (a video site) to earn some pocket money, and once I noticed that people seemed to be interested in haunted houses, so I found an abandoned house with Dana, and then I took a haunted video and uploaded it to YouTube."

"And then?"

"The video was very popular, but there were also a lot of skepticism, and for the sake of clicks, I started looking for ways to shoot more realistic results, and one day I found a website called "Everybody Goes to Hell". On the site's forums, I met a guy named Valaka who taught me how to build a realistic haunted house, and according to him, we recorded videos that were comparable to horror movies and caused a stir on YouTube. But...... But ......"

"But what?!"

"Haunted House...... The haunted house seems to really have evil spirits......" Craig's voice began to stammer, "Someone found the haunted house according to the video, and they also formed a team to explore, at first some people were just scared by the evil spirits, but I didn't expect that later it began to die......"

Craig took a breath and continued:

"I was scared, I didn't dare to confirm, I was afraid that because our actions had attracted evil spirits, and if the police knew about it, I would be doomed. But Dana thinks we are to blame, she wants to destroy the arrangement of the haunted house, I really tried to persuade her, but she doesn't listen to me...... She never came out after entering the haunted house, and the next day, someone found her body in the haunted house......"

After hearing this, the priest took a deep breath and looked at Craig with a cold look in his eyes.

"You didn't call the police?"

"No, I don't dare call the police, I don't want to go to jail......," Craig hung his head, "and, moreover, I'm more worried that if I tell the truth, evil spirits will come to me." ”

"I've been to that haunted house, and there are no evil spirits at all."

"I didn't lie to you, Dana was really killed by an evil spirit!"

"No, I don't believe you."

The priest raised his hand, his finger slowly pointing at Craig's head.

Craig's eyes showed a look of horror, and his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't make a sound. His whole body froze in his chair, seemingly unable to move.

Then.

"Policeman, hands up!"

Rorschach emerges from his "stealth" state and stands in the doorway of the living room, pistol raised and pointed at the priest.

The priest looked at Rorschach with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and his finger rested on Craig's forehead.

Rorschach stared at him.

"Retreat to the wall and raise your hands."

The priest took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and took a step back.

"By the wall!" Rorschach reminded him again.

The priest nodded, and stepped back towards the wall.

Rorschach holds a gun in his right hand, aims at the priest, picks up the walkie-talkie on his chest with his left hand, calls Jessica into the cabin, and then pulls out the handcuffs from behind his waist.

The priest looked at him, shook his head, and suddenly snapped his fingers together.

Bang!

Mrs. Thurseen, who was sitting on the couch, sprang to her feet, broke free from the shackles, threw up her hands, and threw herself at Rorschach like a madman.

Rorschach saw Madame Thursian pounce on her, and stepped back, raising her left hand. Mrs. Thursian struck the air and rushed to his side. As Mrs. Thursian rushed past him, he slammed it down at the back of her neck.

Bang!

Mrs. Sersian was struck to the ground by Rorschach's knife and fell unconscious.

The priest gasped as he twitched out of the corner of his eye.

Rorschach narrowed his eyes and aimed his gun at the priest's chest, and as he expected, Mrs. Thursian was controlled by the guy with some supernatural ability.

"Don't resist? Turn around and hold on to the wall! ”

"Okay."

The priest obediently turned around and rested his hands on the wall.

Rorschach stepped forward, put his hands behind his back, and handcuffed him.

Jessica rushed into the cabin, her pistol raised, she surveyed the living room, and then looked at Rorschach.

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the prisoners are caught."

With that, Rorschach pushed the priest to turn around and raised his hand to pull the black mask off his head.

An emaciated face with a bare head was revealed, and the priest had not only shaved his hair, but also his eyebrows, and a red cross painted above his cheekbones, which stretched to the bridge of his nose. His eyes were deeply sunken in their sockets, his face was pale, and there was not even a trace of blood on his lips, and this face, combined with a priest's black robe, gave him an eerie aura.

Jessica frowned and hurriedly called for reinforcements and first aid.

Mrs. Thursian was then taken to the hospital, and Craig and the bald pastor were taken back to the police station, where they were held in separate detention cells.

……

Late at night, inside the police station.

Rorschach stood in front of his cell, squinting his eyes at the bald priest sitting on the iron bed.

The bald pastor was hunched over, his arms resting on his thighs, his hands clenched into fists on his forehead, his eyes closed, and his mouth was full of words, so small that he could barely hear a passage or two from the Bible.

Was he really a devout Christian?

Rorschach wondered that when he returned to the police station, he retrieved the file of "Dana", who, as Craig said, hanged herself alive in an abandoned house. Through the police investigation, it was judged that it was not suicide, but murder, but so far the murderer has not been caught.

And in Dana's family relationship, Rorschach discovers that she has no siblings. There is no information about this bald priest in the police system at all, he does not exist.

Rorschach stared at the bald priest, this guy was unknown and full of suspicions, but judging by his performance, he was not an outlaw, at least he didn't want to violently resist arrest.

Moreover, he felt that this bald priest did not really want to kill Craig.

After a long pause, the bald priest finally opened his eyes and turned to look at Rorschach, who was standing at the door of his cell.

Rorschach stepped forward and smiled.

"Pastor, it's time for us to talk."
