Rorschach narrowed his eyes, why should he write in Pennsylvanian German if it was just a simple biblical word? And it was carried by Hannah closely, there must be some clue in it.

Bilder looked at Rorschach's appearance, and his heart was a little weak, and he said cautiously:

"Sheriff, that ......"

"What"

Rorschach looked at him.

Beard swallowed his saliva, licked his lips, and said:

"The words written in English are said on the road of choice."

"What? The path to choice? ”

"It's a path outside the Mennonite stronghold, and after the bar mig, you have to go to that road and choose at the end of that road......"

Beard sighed, "That's the longest half-mile I've ever walked in my life." ”

Rorschach nodded.

"But ......"

"That road is also where parents meet their children in the middle of the night. ”

"Isn't that a violation of the rules of the coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Yes, Sheriff ......"

Beard let out a long breath, put the bag back on the table, and whispered, "But punishment is a small price compared to knowing what the child is doing. ”

Rorschach nodded, parents finally reluctant to let their children suffer outside, he asked:

"Are many children leaving?"

"Actually, no."

Beard shook his head, "Most of them still chose to go home, especially the girls. ”

"So, what is Hannah going to do?"

"She didn't say ......"

Bilder looked out the window, "Hannah is different from other girls, she gives me the feeling that she is ready to never go back, never to go home...... She may have bigger plans. ”

"Okay."

Rorschach asked a few more questions and asked Jessica to drop Beard to the door of the police station.

Sitting in the office, Rorschach looked at the cards and photos on the table, and shook his head, Hannah's plan should be related to the man in the photo, and he had to find Wheeler Sterner as soon as possible.

……

In the afternoon, Emmett walked into the office and said:

"I went to a friend from Roxon Energy and brought Wheeler Stenner back, but the kid resisted arrest and is now in detention."

"Understood, I'll go talk to him."

Rorschach stood up and walked out of the office to the detention area.

When Wheeler saw Rorschach's appearance, he hurriedly rushed to the iron fence and shouted:

"I didn't do anything, why are you arresting me?!"

Rorschach glanced at this handsome young man and said lightly:

"Do you know Hannah Laurson?"

"Of course, she's my girlfriend."

Rorschach sighed and told Wheeler the news of Hannah's death.

Wheeler grabbed the iron bar, looked incredulous, and said in a panic:

"No, no, no, you must have made something wrong, impossible! I just sent Hannah home two days ago, and she's fine. ”

Rorschach looked at him and didn't speak.

Emmett stepped forward and said:

"Two days ago? That means you're the last person to see her alive, so you're now on the list of suspects. ”

When Wheeler heard Emmett's words, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Wait! I didn't do anything! ”

"It's not like you didn't do it."

Emmett said as she looked at Wheeler.

"Listen to me!"

Wheeler gasped, "I love her, we save money together, every money we earn exists together, we are ready to move out and live together, how could I give up on her...... She...... Hannah is my soul mate and the love of mine. ”

Emmett said coldly:

"She's just a stripper, and they like you if you give you money."

"Not really!"

Wheeler suddenly grabbed the bar, pressed his face to the gap, looked at Emmett viciously, and shouted, "She's not that kind of person, you don't know anything at all!" ”

Emmett walked up to the iron railing, glared at Wheeler, and said coldly:

"That stripper is dead? Just be honest. ”

"You're a liar!"

Wheeler suddenly reached out and grabbed Emmett's neck, "Where's Hannah?" You're lying, where is she! ”

When Rorschach saw Emmett's face flushed, he hurriedly walked up and pulled him away, and said to Wheeler:

"Wheeler, calm me down, do you know you're attacking the police now?"

"She'......"

Wheeler let go of his hand, fell to his knees feebly, bowed his head, and muttered:

Hannah...... She...... It's not really ......"

Rorschach asked Emmett to leave the detention area first, and waited for Wheeler to calm down before asking:

"Are you very grumpy, Wheeler, has Hannah ever seen you like this?"

"You don't know me at all!"

Wheeler yelled at Rorschach, "Ask anyone, I'll only do things to protect her, and there's always bastards harassing her where she works, and I'm going to make them go back." ”

"Did you think it was that bastard?"

"I don't know ......"

Wheeler shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "Two days ago, she had a fight with a man, but as soon as I passed, the man left. ”

"Have you seen that man before?"

Rorschach asked.

"Nope."

Wheeler frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm sure I've never met him. ”

"Haven't you contacted Hannah in the past few days?"

"She told me that she had taken a leave of absence and was going to go home with her family, which should be today."

"Have you met her family, then?"

"Nope."

Wheeler shook his head, "She never showed that I was going to see her family. ”

"Did you know that her family is Mennonite?"

"What?"

Wheeler paused for a moment and hurried to the bar, "Door...... What the. ”

"Mennonite."

Rorschach explained, "It's like the Amish. ”

"Amish?"

Wheeler took a deep breath, "Hannah never told me that she was an Amish. ”

He turned, gasping for breath, puzzled:

"Why didn't she tell me about this kind of thing?"

Wheeler thought for a moment and said to Rorschach:

"All I knew was that her family was religious, and I had heard her recite the Bible and verses, but I thought it was just Catholicism, Amish...... Oh...... Oh, my God. ”

"You say she rehearses the Bible a lot?"

Rorschach narrowed his eyes.

"Yes."

Wheeler nodded hurriedly, "She has a good back and is very familiar." ”

Rorschach pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then said to Wheeler:

"You calm down here first, and then think about what you forgot that you didn't tell me."

With that, he turned and went back to his office.

Rorschach picked up the card bag on his desk, took a Bible from the bookcase next to him, and began to flip through it.

After a long moment, he closed the Bible, picked up the sticky note and wrote down a line of numbers.

1230。

Looking at the number, Rorschach now finally understood what the phrase meant in Pennsylvanian German, which was actually a code.

Rorschach walked out of the office and said to Jessica:

"Before we get to the bottom of the case, detain Wheeler and check Hannah's bank records to see if she's really saving money."

"Okay."

Jessica asked curiously, "Where are you going?" ”

"Mennonite Stronghold."

"Why go there?"

Jessica looked puzzled.

"The Bible quoted on the card is a code."

Rorschach held up the note in his hand, "Matthew, 12:30, this is the time to meet, and tonight Hannah will go to meet someone on the "road of choice" at 12:30. ”

"And how do you know it's tonight?"

"I don't know."

Rorschach shook his head, "But Wheeler told me Hannah was coming home today and I wanted to try." ”
