In the morning, the day after Arnold Pitt's body was found.

Rorschach had just walked into the police station and saw Brian sitting in a chair with his head down and scratching his calves, his trouser leg lifted up, revealing a red scratch.

"Brian, what's wrong with you?"

Rorschach asked curiously.

"Hi sir, good morning."

Brian looked up, scratching his ears and cheeks, "I don't know what's going on, I've been itching since I came back from the park lake yesterday." ”

"Looks like it's an allergy, right?"

Rorschach reassured, "If it doesn't work, go to the hospital and prescribe some medicine." ”

"Yes, sir."

Brian nodded, and put down his trouser leg with the itching, "By the way, sir, the people from the insurance company came early in the morning, saying that they wanted to see you." ”

"Where is he?"

Brian pointed to the corner of the police station hall, where a middle-aged white man in a suit was sitting on a chair by the wall with a leather bag.

Rorschach nodded and said:

"Let him come to the office to see me."

"Yes, sir."

Rorschach walked into the sheriff's office, and after a few moments, the insurance salesman knocked on the door, pushed it and walked in.

Rorschach invited him to sit at his desk and asked:

"Hello, I didn't expect you to come to the door so soon?"

"Hello, Mr. Sheriff."

The insurance salesman smiled and explained, "Mrs. Pitt called me last night, and I came to find out what happened, and according to Mrs. Pete, Arnold Pitt was shot?" ”

"Not sure yet."

Rorschach shook his head, "The case is under investigation. ”

"So can you confirm that he didn't commit suicide?"

"I don't know yet."

Rorschach shrugged.

"Okay."

The insurance salesman sighed, took out a brown paper document bag from his purse, and handed it to Rorschach, "Mr. Pitt bought a huge amount of life insurance the other day, and the only beneficiary is his wife, Ms. Anna Pitt. ”

Rorschach took the document bag, took out the insurance contract inside, looked at it, looked up and asked:

"Do you think there's a problem here?"

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

The insurance salesman spread his hands, "It's up to you to judge the sheriff, I just think this case is a bit too coincidental." ”

"I see."

Rorschach nodded and returned the folder to the insurance salesman, "We'll let you know as soon as we get to the bottom of the case." ”

"Thank you."

The insurance salesman put the folder in his purse and stood up.

Rorschach watched him walk out of the office and frowned, could it be that Anna Pitt killed her husband for a huge insurance claim? But isn't it too much of a rush to do so?

After thinking about it, Rorschach decided to go to Arnold Pitt's house again and ask his wife.

Before driving to Arnold's house, Rorschach knocked on the door and waited for a long time before Anna opened the door.

Seeing Rorschach, Anna was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked:

"Sheriff? What's the matter? ”

"Hello, Mrs. Pete, I have a few questions for you."

Anna stared at Rorschach, sighed, let go of the door, and said:

"Come in and talk about it."

Rorschach followed her into the room and into the living room.

Anna sat on the couch and gestured to the chair opposite.

Rorschach nodded, sat down across from her, took out a notepad and pen from his pocket, and asked:

"Mrs. Pete, someone from the insurance company came to the police station today to find out about the case, did you inform him?"

"Yes."

Anna nodded, "I informed them last night. ”

"Understood."

Rorschach took notes and asked, "You are the only beneficiary of this insurance contract, so did Mr. Pitt buy this insurance because he had a premonition that something would happen?" ”

"I don't know."

Anna shook her head and said, "I don't know what he thinks, but suddenly one day he came back with a contract and said that he had bought a life insurance." ”

"Did he buy it himself?"

Rorschach asked.

"Yes, you can go to the insurance company and find out."

"Okay."

Rorschach stopped his pen and stared at Anna, "Mrs. Pitt, has Mr. Pitt been injured these days?" ”

"Trauma?"

Anna hurriedly shook her head, "No ......"

"You're lying, Mrs. Pitt."

"The forensic doctor at the town hospital told me that you accompanied Mr. Pitt to the town hospital on the 13th (the farm party, the night before) to bandage him, and he was beaten on the head and bleeding. ”

"That could be my mistake!"

Anna suddenly shouted hysterically, "Even so, what do you want to say?" Sheriff!? ”

"I'm trying to get you to tell the truth."

Rorschach stared at her and said lightly, "You're hiding something, Mrs. Pitt. ”

"I didn't, I swear!"

Anna tilted her head, not daring to look Rorschach in the eye.

"Okay."

Rorschach nodded, "In that case, I'm going to sue you for murdering Arnold Pitt." ”

"What?!"

Anna was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and asked in a panic, "Why should I kill him!?" ”

"Because your husband beat you!"

Rorschach shook his fingers, "Or maybe it's because you want to profit from the huge life insurance." ”

"It's ridiculous!"

Anna jerked to her feet, clutching her hair with both hands and shouting, "He was killed!" ”

"So who killed him!"

Rorschach looked up at her, "Lady Pitt, please tell me what you know, so that I can catch Mr. Pitt's murderer." ”

Anna covered her face and let out a choked sound, and sat weakly on the couch.

Rorschach sighed and pulled out a tissue from the tissue box next to her and handed it to her.

Anna took the tissue, wiped her tears, shook her head and said:

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

"I understand."

Rorschach said softly, "Just tell me what you know." ”

Anna stared at him for a long moment before she sighed, stood up, walked to the side of the cupboard, and took out a box.

Rorschach watched as she opened the box and picked up a photograph from inside.

"This is the only photo Arnold keep."

Rorschach took the photo and looked at it, it was a photo of Arnold and an elderly couple.

Anna said on the side:

"That's his parents, he lives in Los Angeles, it's called ...... Arnold Bell. ”

"Why did he change his name?"

His family worked for the gangster family in Los Angeles for many years, but left Los Angeles six years ago after graduating from college and not wanting to take over his parents' jobs...... I met him later in Sleepy Town, when I had just gotten divorced and fell in love with him...... After we got married, he told me his secret. ”

"Why don't you make a deal with the federal government?"

Rorschach asked puzzled, "Can you get a witness protection or something?" ”

"Arnold doesn't believe in the FBI."

Rorschach nodded, no one liked those guys.

Anna continues:

"We just want to live an ordinary life, but 2 years ago, he became addicted to drugs, and his whole person changed, although I knew he still loved me, but drugs drove him crazy."

"How did he get into drugs?"

"Meet Hansen and his gang."

Rorschach sighed, these bastards are really harmful, and asked:

"And then he and Hansen and his gang got very close?"

"Yes."

Anna nodded, lowered her head and whispered, "Later...... It seems that they still work for Hansen, and Arnold studied chemistry in college. ”

"He's making drugs?"

"I don't know!"

Anna hurriedly shook her head, "I really don't know! But I persuaded him to keep him away from Hansen, but he said it was too late, he was beaten by Hansen the other day, and then I took him to the hospital, and the next day there was an accident on the farm, I was very worried, I was worried that those drugs had something to do with Arnold, after Hansen disappeared, I wanted to persuade Arnold to get out of here, but he didn't listen to me, and he wasn't at home all day, I didn't expect it...... When things turned out like this, he must have had a premonition that he bought that insurance. ”

"Do you know where he doesn't go home all day?"

"It's like ......"

Anna thought for a moment, "Maybe I went to the reservation." ”

"Reservations?"

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, could it be that it was the Indians of the reservation who killed Arnold? After thinking about it, he said:

"Mrs. Pete, you need protection now, please come back to the police station with me."

"Arnold said that no matter what happens, don't trust the police."

Anna shook her head, "He said that black and white are actually the same. ”

"You think I'm a mafia?"

Rorschach looked at her.

"I don't know what you are."

Anna stared at Rorschach, "I've told you everything I know, now, please go!" ”

"So, aren't you going back to the police station with me?"

"Yes, I can't."

Anna shook her head resolutely.

"Well, I don't think I have a choice."

Rorschach stood up, uncuffed his armed belt, and put a handcuff on Anna's arm, and said in a deep voice, "Anna Pitt, you've been arrested. ”
