After waiting for a long time, the forensic doctor finally arrived, and he used scissors to cut open the black plastic bag, revealing the face of the deceased.

Rorschach's eyes narrowed, and his heart sank, and the dead person turned out to be Arnold Pitt.

Brian, who had finished making the transcript, came over at this time, and when he saw the face of the deceased, he gasped and said in surprise:

"Oh! Oh my God, it's Arnold. ”

"Do you know him well?"

Rorschach asked, turning his head.

"I played rugby with him......"

Brian sighed, "But he fought badly, and later got fired for fighting." ”

Rorschach nodded and said:

"Notify the family and identify the body."

"Yes, sir."

Emmett said on the side:

"Sheriff, I heard you looked for him yesterday?"

"How do you know?"

Rorschach turned to look at him.

"Arnold's wife called me and said sheriff, you went to Arnold's house to look for him."

Emmett spread out his hands, "I have mediated their husband and wife conflicts before, so I am relatively familiar with them. ”

"I see."

Rorschach nodded slightly and asked, "Deputy Sheriff Emmett, do you know any enemies Arnold?" ”

"I don't know."

Emmett shook his head, "He's a scumbag, in addition to drug abuse is domestic violence, from his wife's point of view, it's better to die." ”

"Okay."

Rorschach doesn't know if Emmett is telling the truth, but Arnold's sudden murder should not be accidental, and it is likely to have something to do with Hansen, who is being tracked.

Back at the police station, when it was almost time for lunch, Brian took Arnold's wife, Anna Pitt, to the sheriff's office.

Anna Pitt is Chinese New Year's Eve years old, two years older than Arnold Pitt, and is a typical white woman, blonde and blue-eyed, but with a slight body fat.

Rorschach hurriedly stood up and said:

"Thank you, Mrs. Pete, for your willingness to identify Arnold Pitt's body, I know it all happened suddenly, first of all, I want to say that we are sorry, I am ...... on behalf of the Sleeping Town Police Department"

"Sheriff, don't say that."

Anna sat down and clasped her hands to her chest, "I'm not sad that guy died. ”

"Okay."

Rorschach looked thoughtfully at the woman in front of him with a tired face, but without the slightest look of grief, and there were bruises on her forehead, which should have been left after domestic violence, "Mr. Pete, is there anything to worry about these days?" ”

"Nope."

Anna shook her head.

"Does he have any enemies?"

"I don't know."

Anna shook her head, "I don't know about him, and I don't care. ”

"Understood."

Rorschach nodded, stood up and pointed to Brian who was standing at the door of the office, "This is Officer Brian, he'll get you home safely." ”

Escorting Anna out of the police station hall, Rorschach was about to walk towards the office.

Jessica sat behind her desk, turned the pencil in her hand, and suddenly asked:

"No clues?"

"No ...... for the time being"

Rorschach sighed, "Lady Pitt may not be in a position to provide clues right now. ”

"Do you think she's suspected of committing a crime?"

"I don't know."

Rorschach looked around and asked, "What about Deputy Sheriff Emmett?" ”

"He went out on patrol and went to communicate with Arnold's fox friends and dogs."

"That's it."

Rorschach nodded, "Hopefully there's some clue on his side." ”

Jessica followed Rorschach into the sheriff's office, closed the door, and asked with a frown:

"We just went to Arnold's house yesterday to look for him, and his body was found this morning, do you think it's a coincidence?"

Rorschach leaned back in his chair and moved his neck, gasped, and said:

"If you find the murderer, you will know if it's a coincidence."

"Is the autopsy report out?"

"It's out."

Rorschach picked up the folder on the table and handed it to Jessica, "Died horribly, kidnapped, strangled, drugged, and finally shot." ”

"Then he's miserable."

Jessica flipped through the autopsy report and frowned, "It feels like a personal vendetta and looks like revenge?" ”

"Revenge?"

Rorschach banged on the table, was it really a coincidence, and not because they went to Arnold's relationship?

Jessica put the folder back on the table and looked at Rorschach, as if she had something to say.

"How?"

Rorschach looked up and asked, "What else did you find?" ”

"It's also a rumor I've heard before."

Jessica shrugged, "I heard that Anna Pitt was very before marrying Arnold. ”

"Debauchery?"

Rorschach was puzzled.

"It's half of the men in Sleepy Town who want her."

"That's an exaggeration."

Rorschach gasped, which he really didn't see.

"So it's a rumor."

Jessica spread her hands helplessly.

"Okay."

Rorschach nodded, which was also a "clue".

In the evening, because this was a homicide case, Rorschach and Deputy Sheriff Emmett, Officer Brian, who was in charge of the case, stayed at the police station for case analysis.

In the hall of the police station, Rorschach stood in front of a moving whiteboard with photos of Arnold-related people on it, and he nodded to Brian as he stood aside.

Brian picked up the autopsy report in his hand, took a deep breath, and read:

"Name of the deceased, Arnold Pitt, history of drug use, male, white, weight ......"

"Brian!"

Rorschach hurriedly interrupted him, "Please get to the point, the time of death." ”

Brian nodded hurriedly, and used his finger to search for the autopsy report line by line, and after a long while, he said:

"Between 12 a.m. the day before yesterday and 4 p.m. yesterday."

Emmett said on the side:

"It's a long time gap."

Rorschach nodded, wrote the time of death on the whiteboard, and then said to Brian:

"Go on."

"He had 10 milliliters of chlorpromazine in his blood (sedative, anesthetic)"

"The killer anesthetized him before killing him?"

"Yes, sir."

Brian put down the report and chimed in, "That's what I thought, too. ”

Rorschach glanced at him wordlessly.

Brian hurriedly held up the report and continued:

"The cause of death was acute asphyxiation, which should have been caused by that black plastic bag, with 6 shots in the body, 9mm bullets, and a shot in the chest, caused after death."

"6 Shots ......"

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, feeling a little puzzled, and muttered to himself, "After death?" ”

Emmett stood up, leaned on his waist and said:

"It seems that the murderer hated the deceased very much, and even after death, he had to make up for 6 shots."

"Deputy Sergeant, what do you think?"

Rorschach looked at him.

"I think ......"

Emmett thought for a moment, "The investigation should start with the people around the deceased. ”

"You mean Anna Pitt, his wife?"

"Well, when I met Anna, she was dancing at a club in town."

"Strippers?"

"Yes."

Emmett nodded, "Her name is Anna Taylor, and she was just divorced before she married Arnold. ”

"Understood."

Rorschach turned to Brian and said, "Look up Anna and Arnold's call logs." ”

"Yes, sir."

Rorschach pointed to the photo on the moving whiteboard and said to Emmett:

"Deputy Sergeant, investigate these people and verify their alibi."

"Okay."

Emmett nodded.

After laying out the work, Rorschach walked back to the sheriff's office, feeling more and more that this case was not simple.
