Rorschach pulled the door open, and April stood in the doorway, looking a little nervous under Rorschach's gaze.

Aprile licked her lips and asked:

"That...... Is the scimitar okay? ”

"It's fine."

Rorschach nodded, took a step back, and said, "Come in." ”

"Uh-huh."

Aprili hurriedly entered the guest room, she looked at the scimitar and said, "I was a little scared, so I came here." ”

The scimitar looked at her and said softly:

"It's okay now, it's safe."

Rorschach looked at the two of them and smiled:

"You talk, I'll go out first."

After saying that, Rorschach walked out of the room, and it seemed that the scimitar should have hit Peach Blossom Luck.

Outside the guest room, Rorschach calls Jessica and gets bad news.

In addition to ICE's investigation of the Machete, the FBI is now also manhunting him because of the kidnapping of Congressman McLaughlin's daughter, which has evidence pointing to being the work of the Machete.

Hearing this bad news, Rorschach frowned, held up his phone and asked:

"Where did you get this news?"

"Immigration Agent ......"

Jessica said unhappily, "It was Livira who told me that her boss told her to cooperate with the FBI to capture the scimitar. ”

"What does she think?"

"She thought it was too much of a coincidence, but her boss didn't listen to her."

"I see."

Rorschach thought for a moment and asked, "How is the matter with the man in black?" ”

"There is no progress, the living men in black do not know who provided the information on the scimitar, they are just following orders, it was their boss Orisis Amanpool who arranged this operation, but Amanpur is now missing."

"Okay."

After chatting with Jessica for a few more words, Rorschach hung up the phone, and on the way, both Rorschach and Machete had persuaded April, suggesting that the state police escort her home, but the girl would not go home. Later, Rorschach also felt that under the threat of the White Ghost, Aprile might not be safe even if she went home, but now that she did not return home, things became troublesome.

In addition to the case of illegal immigration, the scimitar also got involved in the kidnapping case, and who is behind all this?

Back in the hotel room, Rorschach tells the news to Machete and April, both of whom are surprised, and April thinks she is in trouble and wants to call the police immediately, but is stopped by Machete.

Scimitar looked at Rorschach and said:

"Sheriff, will Aprile be safe going home?"

"I don't know."

Rorschach shook his head, "If you don't catch the mastermind, no one can guarantee safety." ”

"...... like this"

The scimitar took April's hand, looked at her, and then looked at Rorschach and said with a serious expression:

"Sheriff, can you take care of Aprilie for a while?"

"How?"

Rorschach asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to ask Michael Benz."

Scimitar gritted his teeth and said, "It must be him who did it, I want to ask him for clarification." ”

April, who was on the side, hugged the scimitar and said nervously:

"Scimitar, you can't go! If Michael did it, didn't you throw yourself into the net!? ”

"I have to go!"

The scimitar turned his head to stare at April, his eyes unmistakably insistent.

"But ......"

Aprile didn't know how to dissuade her, and her eyes turned red.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Rorschach coughed twice to interrupt the two of them, and said, "Leave it to me, and I'll help you find out the truth." ”

"Sheriff!?"

The scimitar was stunned.

"I'm going to investigate Michael Bentz."

Rorschach smiled, "Jessica will pick you up and take you to a safe house, where you will stay for a few days." ”

The scimitar looked at Rorschach for a long time before he said:

"Thank you, Sheriff......"

"No thanks."

Rorschach shook his head, "That's as it should be. ”

Day 2, morning.

Rorschach and Jessica drive a police car to Michael Benz's estate outside the town of Compton.

As soon as they entered the hall of the manor house, Michael, dressed in a gray suit, walked down from the second floor, and as he walked towards Rorschach, he stretched out his hand and said:

"Sheriff, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Bentz."

Rorschach shook his hand and said, "You should know what we're here for, right?" ”

"Of course."

Michael nodded, "Investigate the scimitar, the FBI has already been here this morning, but I didn't expect them to even mobilize your Sleeping Town Police Department." ”

"No way."

Rorschach shrugged, "When it comes to state legislators, it's the big of the big things. ”

"I understand."

Michael looked apologetic, "But I'm going to meet with the state legislators soon, so I can't talk for too long." ”

"It's okay."

Rorschach laughed, "I want to know when you last saw the scimitar." ”

"Yesterday morning."

Michael sighed, "I hired him to help me transport a car to Las Vegas." ”

"What kind of car?"

"A Chevrolet SUV, that car is common."

"Okay."

"As far as I know, the car was on Bear Mountain Road. ”

"Yes."

Michael nodded, "The FBI people also told me that they found a bag in the car and found April's hair in the bag, but I didn't expect that bastard to use my car to transport the kidnapped April, he must have wanted to frame me and ruin my relationship with the state legislature." ”

"Why would he do that?"

"What else?"

Michael said angrily, "We are the only ones who are the most staunch opponents of illegal immigration in California, and that bastard must be trying to get revenge on us because we've started building a power grid at the border so that those parasites can't come to our country." Oh...... I even doubt he'll use April, the state legislator's most precious daughter, to change his political views...... I can't imagine ......"

"You don't have to worry, Mr. Bentz, we're not going to let anyone threaten the state legislature."

"I'm sorry."

Michael sighed, "I'm just a little anxious, in fact, in my heart Ai Puli is like my daughter, and I don't want her to be in danger." ”

"The police will rescue her as soon as possible."

"Please."

Rorschach nodded, asked Michael a few more questions, and then left the manor house with Jessica.

Sitting in the police car, Jessica frowned and said:

"This guy must be lying."

"Hmmm......"

Rorschach narrowed his eyes and said, "But when the scimitar kidnapped April, it was captured by the surveillance. ”

"That, you say?"

Jessica said disdainfully, "Who can prove that person is a scimitar without a video of a straight face." ”

"But the FBI people believe ......"

Rorschach smiled, "But don't worry, I can already confirm that Michael must have something to do with these things." ”

"You're sure?"

Jessica looked at Rorschach in surprise, "Do you already have proof?" ”

"Nope."

Rorschach shook his head.

"There's no evidence......

Jessica sighed helplessly, "Although I also think that Michael must be behind it, we can't do anything without evidence!" ”

"There will be proof."

Rorschach laughed, "Someone will tell me where the evidence is soon." ”

"What are you talking about?"

Jessica looked at Rorschach suspiciously, "I don't understand anything. ”

"You'll find out soon enough."

Rorschach smiled slightly, already having a plan in mind.
