"Okay, I probably get it." Rorschach nodded, glanced at Valolet in the police car, and then asked Vivien, "Your daughter was first taken to the bathroom on the second floor, but then ran out of the basement?" ”

"yes, I don't know why those two women took her to the basement."

"May I ask her?"

"Ask her......" Vivien hesitated, but finally nodded, "Yes." ”

Vaolet stepped out of the police car, she was dressed as a nurse at this time, and unlike Vivien, she was calm, or not afraid.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Rorschach felt a little strange, this is not the psychological quality that ordinary girls can have.

"How did you escape from the two women?"

Valolet looked up at him, thought for a moment, and then replied:

"In the bathroom on the second floor, a woman suddenly went to have diarrhea, and then I took the opportunity to tell another woman that the perverted murderer in 1968 was a female nurse who drowned in the basement, and she took me to the basement, and the electric light in the basement was a little short-circuited, and suddenly it didn't turn on, so I ran up while the light went out."

"She didn't chase you?"

"Nope." Valolet shook her head.

Rorschach nodded slightly, but he felt that things should not be that simple.

At this point, Emmett and Bob walked out of the old house and told Rorschach that they had found nothing inside the house and that the three intruders had left no clues.

Rorschach looked up at the three-story mansion rumored to be a "murderous mansion" and switched "hunter tracking" to "tracking undead creatures", however, it did not show the existence of undead creatures.

He turned to look at Vivien again.

"Did you find anything unusual when you live here?"

"Anomaly?" Vivian paused for a moment and quickly shook her head, "I didn't find anything abnormal, Sheriff, do you mean the rumors of the murderous mansion?" Could that rumor be true? ”

"No, no." Rorschach smiled slightly, "However, don't go home tonight, stay in a nearby hotel for two days, and wait for us to catch the three intruders, or wait for the doctor to come back, and you are going home." ”

"Okay, okay." Vivien nodded hurriedly.

Rorschach then asks Bob to accompany Vivien home to pack her belongings and escort them to the hotel. At the same time, he also entered the old house to investigate, but found no trace of the existence of paranormal phenomena, especially the basement, which in his opinion was just an ordinary basement.

There were no other clues for the time being, and Rorschach had to return to the police station.

When the police car went away, I don't know when, in the window of the attic on the third floor of the old house, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and the black shadow stared at the police car in the distance, making a sound of "click, click" gnashing of teeth.

……

Early the next morning, police station, sheriff's office.

Rorschach was woken up by a ringing cell phone, and he sat up from the couch and picked up his phone in a daze.

"Hello?"

"Sir, a corpse was found in a neighborhood close to outside town."

Brian's voice came from his phone.

"Corpses?" Rorschach took a deep breath and came to his senses, "Got it, I'll go over right away." ”

Putting down the phone, he called Jessica, and the two left the police station and rushed to the scene of the crime.

The scene of the crime was close to the outside of town, not far from a wooded area, surrounded by only four or five houses, and the place where the body was found was behind one of the houses.

As soon as Rorschach stepped out of the police car, Brian greeted him.

"Sir, I went on patrol in the morning, and after receiving the report, I rushed here, but I didn't expect the situation to be so bad."

"What's going on?"

"You'll know it when you look at it."

Rorschach and Jessica followed Brian and walked towards the scene of the crime, where Brian had been cordoned off yellow and the body was covered with a white cloth.

Brian helped him lift the cordon and pointed to the ground in front of him.

"Watch your step, that's what I just threw up."

Rorschach stood through the cordon, bypassed Brian's point, walked over to the corpse, and bent down to lift the white cloth.

Jessica exclaimed behind him:

"Oh my God! Who did this to you? ”

"I don't know." Rorschach narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the dead under the white cloth.

The deceased was a white woman, blonde, with her body amputated at the waist, and her internal organs gushing out of the wound and bleeding to the ground, and the ground around the wound was red with blood.

Rorschach put on his gloves, crouched down and gently broke the deceased's arm, feeling very stiff, obviously stiff.

"The time of death was probably last night, at least 6 hours ago." He stood up and took off his gloves, "Did you contact the town hospital?" ”

"Contacted." Brian said.

"Okay." Rorschach answered, turning his head to look at Jessica, "Let's collect evidence first and see if there are any other clues around." ”

"Understood." Jessica nodded and began to investigate the scene with Brian.

Rorschach walked outside the cordon, looked around, and began to analyze the current situation in his mind.

Judging by the amount of blood, if it was due to the dismemberment of the corpse, the blood would spurt everywhere and quickly form a pool of blood around the deceased, but this was not the case at the scene.

Around the corpse, there was only a puddle of blood near the wound, and judging from the bleeding from the wound, the amount of oozing from the upper part was much less than that of the lower part, so the blood was exuding from the wound due to the influence of gravity, not outflow.

There is only one kind of person who does not shed blood, and that is the dead.

Based on these, it can be preliminarily determined that the deceased was killed in another place, and then moved here, and then dismembered, and the murderer should be a veteran, and this is not the first time that the crime has been committed.

The forensics work continued until noon, and as he expected, he found no useful clues.

However, in the wallet on the deceased's body, Jessica found the deceased's driver's license, her name was Bianca. After confirming her identity, she used her laptop in the police car to investigate Bianca's information, and when she retrieved Bianca's medical records, she found a message that she didn't know if it was a clue.

"Look at this." Jessica waved to Rorschach.

"What? What was found? Rorschach walked over to the police car.

Jessica picked up her computer and pointed to the screen.

"Look at this message."

Rorschach leaned down and looked in the direction of Jessica's finger, and after a moment, he narrowed his eyes.

"Last week, she had an appointment with Dr. Ban for psychotherapy......"

"Is it Doctor Ban who lives in the "murderous house"? Jessica asked.

"Yes."

Rorschach nodded, this woman used to go to the old house, but now she was brutally dismembered, will there be a connection between this.

After thinking about it for a moment, he called Bob.

Bob told him that Dr. Ben had learned that his home had been broken into and that he had returned from Boston and brought his wife and daughter home.

After getting the news, Rorschach explained a few more words to Bob before hanging up.

Jessica looked at him.

"Doctor Ben is back?"

"Hmm." Rorschach nodded, "The family has returned to the old house, and we will go to his house to find him." ”
