010 Number ten

Rorschach was stunned.

Seeing Rorschach's appearance, Lacey seemed to guess something, "Looks like he didn't tell you this." ”

"Yes."

Rorschach noticed that things didn't seem to be what he had imagined, and he nodded, "He didn't say the missing girl was his daughter. ”

Lacey smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't think he will say that he won't let me contact him after he gets married......"

"Did you do it?"

"Of course!"

Lacey sighed, "But last month, I was cornered and there was no one to help me, so I had to call Peak, but he just apologized and said he couldn't do anything...... But I knew he would help...... Because...... Peak is a good man. ”

Rorschach was silent for a moment and asked:

"You say you have a boyfriend? Is it possible for him to know where Paula goes? ”

Lacey shook her head, "Charles and Paula have a bad relationship. ”

"Charles Bonnart?"

Rorschach asked for the name that the owner of the antique gun shop, Jakpo, had once mentioned.

"Yes, it's him."

Lacey replied.

Hearing Lacey's confirmation, Rorschach narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said:

"I see, Ms. Steward, and we'll do our best to help you find your daughter, Paula."

"Thanks, that ......"

Lacey opened her mouth before she said, "Please tell Peak that I am very grateful to him." ”

Rorschach nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Yes."

At this moment, a yellow exclamation mark appeared in the lower right corner of his line of sight.

After learning about the situation at Lacey's place, Rorschach got up and left, and under Lacey's expectant eyes, he walked out of the courtyard and disappeared into the night.

After entering the stealth state, Rorschach clicked on the yellow exclamation mark, and a line of text appeared in his mind.

(Mission Name: Missing Daughter)

(Mission: Find Peak Robinson's missing daughter, Paula.) )

(Reward: You will receive 2 skill points and 450 Sleeping Town reputation.) )

Rorschach's eyes narrowed, and the case seemed somewhat unexpected.

……

When she came to the police station the next day, she didn't expect Jessica to arrive early, and when she saw Rorschach walking into the hall, she quickly stood up and asked with concern:

"I went to the reservation last night, was it nothing?"

"It's fine."

Rorschach shook her head, and then told Jessica what she had learned from Lacey.

Jessica sighed.

"I didn't expect it to be like this."

"yes...... Have you heard anything about prostitution in town? What about the town or the reservation? ”

"Nope."

Jessica shook her head, "Last year, when the new mayor took office, we almost wiped out the prostitutes in the neighborhood. ”

Rorschach frowned, so it seemed that the clues were beginning to blur again, and he sighed when he thought of the missing girl, "Before going to the reservation, I thought Peak Robinson was a cheating man, but I didn't expect that he would do heroic deeds." ”

"Heroic deeds?"

Jessica looked at him in confusion.

Rorschach lamented:

"I want to stop my daughter from taking a detour in prostitution and confront criminals, in my opinion, the spirit is commendable."

"Maybe......"

Jessica thought for a moment, "Maybe it's just that this man suddenly has a conscience and wants to make amends...... But even so, it doesn't mean that the world can forgive him so quickly......"

Rorschach stood by and was noncommittal, and Jessica was not wrong.

Jessica saw that he was in a little unhappy, and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, go to the back and hit sandbags, the police station used to be small, and there was no place to put those things, but now that I moved to the supermarket, it has a lot of empty space." ”

Rorschach nodded, squinted his eyes suddenly, as if thinking of something, and muttered to himself:

"Before...... Now ......"

Jessica asked, puzzled:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Jessica."

"Huh?"

"Give me your pants."

“……”

"I'm sorry."

Only then did Rorschach react and quickly explained, "I mean the pair of jeans that Brian found at the scene of the crime yesterday. ”

Jessica glared at him, picked up the evidence bag from the desk and stuffed it into his hand, "If a man could give me a coin every time he says that to me, I would be more willing to serve him......"

Rorschach hurriedly said:

"I'll treat you to dinner at noon."

"That's pretty much it, what do you think of?"

Rorschach opened the evidence bag, pulled out his jeans, and pointed to the metal belt buckle that was badly worn on it, "You look up where this X logo was used in Sleepy Town before." ”

"Okay, you wait for me."

After a while, Jessica found a clue.

"There used to be a Farm Ten that used to use the logo, but now it's called Lawrence Farm."

"We'll be there in a minute."

……

When Rorschach and Jessica arrived at Lawrence Farm, it was about ten o'clock in the morning.

With the help of the farmer Lawrence Sr., the owner of the pants was soon found from a group of young cowboys, the youngest son of Lawrence Sr., Tom, and the metal belt buckle was given to Tom by Lawrence Sr. for his birthday when he was 20 years old.

Old Lawrence took the belt and scolded Tom:

"What the hell is going on?"

Tom lowered his head, obviously frightened by old Lawrence, and hurriedly said:

"I just want to go there for a date."

Rorschach looked at him and asked:

"With whom?"

"No one else."

Tom shook his head, "I'm going alone." ”

Jessica smiled at him:

"What can you do alone in the wilderness? Playing with wild animals? ”

"No, it's not."

Tom quickly explained, "It was my friend who encouraged me to go because there was a ...... Girl...... You give the money...... You get the idea. ”

Jessica stared at him, "You mean a prostitute?" ”

Tom nodded.
