Rorschach stared at the eerie symbols on the wall, most of which were variations of the eye, inverted triangle, cross, and so on.

He walked over to the wall, raised his arm, and stretched out his index finger to wipe it on the symbol. Looking at the black ash on his fingers, he narrowed his eyes.

"These symbols are all newly painted, and they are not very long."

Jessica walked over to Rorschach, looked at the black ash on his fingers, and then at the symbols on the wall, and frowned.

"Are these newly painted?"

"Well, yes." Rorschach nodded.

Jessica took a breath and looked around.

"If the symbols are newly drawn...... So the layout here is also deliberately placed like this? ”

"Quite possibly." Rorschach turned and looked at the wooden table in the corner.

The eyeballs gouged out of the doll smile.

His heart sank, could the guy who deliberately arranged this place with such an eerie atmosphere be the same person as the murderer of Jill?

Rorschach walked over to the wooden table, put on his gloves, and picked up the doll.

The doll is very worn, with a thick layer of dust on it, and it looks like it has been sitting here for a long time.

Jessica leaned behind him, poking her head out.

"What did you find?"

"Not yet." Rorschach shook her head and placed the doll back on the table.

At this moment, Henriksson appeared at the door of the living room, followed by Brian and Reed, who looked inside the living room before walking towards Rorschach.

Rorschach turned and nodded to Henriksen, who was approaching him.

Henriksson picked up a doll, stared at the black hole with his eyeball gouged out, and turned his head and grinned at him.

"Looks like it was poached by naughty kids."

"Maybe." Rorschach shrugged.

Henriksen put the doll down, turned to look at the eerie symbol on the wall, and muttered for a moment.

"Sheriff, did you say that the owner of this house was a demon worshipper when he was alive?"

"Not in life." Rorschach shook his head and pointed to the symbols on the wall, "These are newly painted. ”

"Oh......" Henriksen was slightly stunned and turned his head, "that is, these are deliberately arranged?" ”

"Yes." Rorschach nodded.

Henriksen frowned.

"If so, then this murder should be a human ......"

He pinched his chin for a moment, then turned to look at Reed behind him.

"I'm sorry we didn't find anything down there......"

"yes." Reid nodded, and spread his hands helplessly, "We ran for nothing. ”

Jessica looked at them and asked curiously, "Have you ever seen a real ghost before?" ”

"Once." Henriksson looked at her, "We were investigating a murder in an old house when we saw a vase on the table fall to the ground. ”

Reid added: "It fell on its own. ”

Jessica's eyes lit up with interest.

"The murder was done by a ghost?"

"......No," Henriksson shrugged, "it was done by man, and then we caught the murderer." ”

"Uh, okay." Jessica nodded, a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

Rorschach listened to their conversation, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully, and sure enough, it was just as he expected, and Henrikson and the others did not notice anything unusual.

……

The search of the old house continued, but no valuable clues were found, and with the arrival of ambulances, the investigation of the crime scene came to an end for the time being.

Rorschach instructed Brian to assist the first responders in carrying Jill's body, and then he walked out of the old house and searched the surroundings of the old house.

Since no clues were found, Henrikson and Reed also left the old house, Reed returned to the black SUV, while Henriksen held a phone in the corner of the small courtyard and seemed to report to his superiors.

Jessica stood at the door of the old house, looked at Henriksson who was on the phone, frowned, and then she walked towards Rorschach, who was looking for clues outside the old house.

She walked over to Rorschach and glanced at Henriksen.

"Since they haven't found any ghosts, shouldn't they go?"

Rorschach looked away from the ground and glanced at Henriksen.

"Don't worry, just wait and see."

"Okay." Jessica sighed, "But with the FBI around, I can't even concentrate on my work." ”

"You......" Rorschach smiled helplessly, then looked around.

No useful clues were found around the courtyard of the old house.

He narrowed his eyes and looked up.

The dark clouds in the sky became thicker than before, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it looked like it was about to rain.

Rorschach frowned, looked at the abandoned old house, and sighed in her heart, waiting for Jill's body to be transported back to the town hospital, and asking her family to come and confirm the body, but her grandmother was too old to contact her parents in Los Angeles.

At this time, in the corner of the small courtyard, Henriksson hung up the phone, looked at Rorschach outside the courtyard, and walked towards him.

Jessica saw Henriksen walking towards them and turned to look at Rorschach.

"The FBI is coming, and it looks like it's going to say goodbye to us."

Rorschach did not answer, staring at Henriksson silently.

Henriksen walked up to the two and looked at him and grinned.

"Sheriff, I'm sorry, we will be responsible for this case next, please block the scene, don't investigate the scene for the time being, and when our people come, they are cooperating with our investigation."

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, Henrikson and they didn't find a ghost at the scene of the crime, so this case should be considered a normal homicide. Traditionally, the F.B.I. shouldn't intervene at this time, at least until the local police identify the killer and the killer is out of state.

Henriksson looked at him and quickly explained.

"That's right, we have received information that there have been several similar cases in various states across the country recently, and we suspect that there is a connection between these cases, and it may even be an organized crime, in order to prevent the cases from becoming out of control, it has been decided to let us investigate them together."

"I see." Rorschach nodded, "We'll cooperate with you." ”

"That's good." Henriksen smiled slightly, "By the way, we want to take the corpse away." ”

"Take the corpse?" Rorschach frowned.

"Yes." Henriksen nodded.

"No way!" Jessica suddenly said to the side, "You can't take the body, we haven't notified her family to confirm it." ”

Henriksen looked at Jessica.

"When we investigate clearly, it's not too late for the family to come and confirm, you can not notify them first."

"How can that be!?" Jessica glared at him.

Rorschach waved at Jessica and looked at Henriksen.

"If you want to take away the child's body, you have to get the consent of the family."

Henriksen shrugged helplessly.

"You can't wait that long."

Rorschach stared at him and said in a deep voice:

"This is Sleepy Town, and we don't serve the federal government."

Henriksson was stunned for a moment, frowning and nodding slightly.

"I understand, I'll go talk to the above."

After speaking, he stepped aside, took out his mobile phone, and contacted his superiors.

Jessica stared at Henriksen, who was walking away, and said indignantly:

"These bastards don't think about the feelings of their families at all."

At this time, Brian and the first responders carried the stretcher cart out of the old house.

Rorschach looked at the body covered with a white cloth on the stretcher cart and narrowed his eyes, if this case is really handed over to the FBI for investigation, I don't know if the Year of the Monkey will be able to solve the case......

Jessica turned her head to look at him.

"What do we do next? Waiting for an order from the FBI? ”

"Nope." Rorschach thought for a moment, "You go and contact Jill's family and ask them to go to the town hospital to confirm the body." ”

"Understood, what about you?"

"I'll go back to the police station." Rorschach narrowed his eyes, "Let's see if we can find a clue." ”
