Midnight.

Rorschach returned to the tavern attic, tossed and turned, couldn't sleep, sat up from the bed, and decided to go to the tavern below for a drink before returning to sleep.

Casually changing into civilian clothes, Rorschach walked down the attic.

Push the door into the tavern, there are no customers in the tavern tonight, only a white man with his back to Rorschach sitting in front of the bar, the old black man Quatman and he have a good conversation, the two push the glass and change the lamp while chatting and laughing, it seems that they are very close to each other.

Rorschach walked over to the bar, and Quartman noticed him.

Rorschach smiled at him:

"Whiskey, no ice."

"Okay."

Quatman laughed and turned to get his wine from the wine cabinet.

Rorschach tilted his head to look at the white man beside him.

The white man also turned his head to look at Rorschach.

After seeing each other's faces clearly, the two of them were stunned at the same time.

"Boss!"

The white man suddenly shouted excitedly.

Quatman, the old black man who was taking the wine, was also stunned, and looked back at Rorschach and the white man in bewilderment.

Rorschach looked back behind him, there was no one else in the tavern, and he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance, a former cellmate, Shelle Morton.

"Boss, don't you know me?"

The white strong man Schell hurriedly said, "It's me!" Small cowardly bag! ”

"Shel!?"

Rorschach nodded, "You're out of jail?" ”

"The ......"

Schell lowered his head, as if there was something hidden.

Putting the glass in front of Rorschach, Quatman asked:

"You know?"

"Hmm."

Rorschach smiled, "The first week I went in, he saved me. ”

Quatman glanced at Schell and said in surprise:

"He saved your life?"

"Yes."

Rorschach nodded.

"Nope! No! ”

The white strong man Schell hurriedly waved his hand, "It was the boss who saved my life." ”

Quatman nodded and smiled:

"I was about to close the door just now, and I saw him wandering at the door, but I didn't dare to come in, and when I asked him, I wanted to borrow a glass of water to drink, and seeing his pitiful appearance, I let him in, and after a few conversations, he said that he used to be a boxer, a heavyweight."

"Indeed."

Rorschach looked at Schell and smiled, "But he didn't play well, he didn't survive the seventh round in nine professional games, and every time he fought in prison, he hid in the back, more cowardly than a sissy, and they all called him Little Coward." ”

"Boss!"

Schell said helplessly, "Don't expose the old bottom." ”

"What? Are you bragging with Quatman? ”

"No, no."

Schell hurriedly waved his hand.

Quatman asked:

"How did he get in?"

"Manslaughter."

Rorschach shrugged, "In order to protect a girl, he was beaten up in a bar, and the guy who beat people was pushed by him, hit the corner of the table and hung up. ”

"Oh my God......"

Quatman looked at Schell and sighed, "That's bad luck." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

Rorschach took a sip of his wine glass, stared at Schell and asked coldly, "I remember that you will be released from prison in less than a year, tell me, how did you get out?" ”

"The ......"

Schell lowered his head, licked his lips, and did not answer the question.

At this time, the TV above the bar was playing the news, and the hostess said:

"A horrific scene occurred this morning at a lakeside cottage in Los Angeles County, where 36-year-old Helen White was brutally beaten to death, and Mrs. White was on vacation with her husband when the killer suddenly broke in...... The official confirmation of the murderer is the Los Angeles City No. 3 Prison, escaped from prison and absconded Shel Morton, who served a sentence in the Los Angeles County Jail, extremely dangerous, and is wanted by the police......"

Looking up at the fugitive photos shown on TV, Rorschach stared at Schell and asked:

"What the hell is going on?!"

Xie Er shuddered, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Boss, I didn't kill anyone! That's not me! I swear by my daughter's eyes, I'm just jailbreaking! ”

"Really......"

Rorschach stood up and walked over to him, "Why did you want to escape from prison?" ”

"Boss ......"

Schell sighed, "You know, my daughter never looks at me......"

"That's not a reason for you to escape from prison, and you really didn't kill people?"

"Please believe me!"

Schell said excitedly, "I really didn't kill anyone. ”

"So did anyone break out of prison with you?"

"Nope."

"Does anyone know you're going to break from prison?"

"Nope."

"So do you know the victims in the news?"

"I don't know."

Schell lowered his head, "I don't know, I don't know what's going on." ”

Rorschach narrowed his eyes and asked:

"How can you make it possible to escape from prison on your own?"

"Luck! It's luck, boss. ”

"Luck?"

Rorschach frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"That's ......"

Schell thought for a moment and said, "Boss, after you got out of prison, I was transferred to Los Angeles City No. 3 Prison, a month ago, I was taken to a new cell, No. 14 in Block C, the original person in that cell was called Melo Wright, he must have wanted to escape from prison, because I found a map of the prison, and then I found a toolbox behind the toilet when I was squatting in the pit, which was full of escape tools, including prison guard uniforms, keys to cells, a spare key, and a patrol schedule, I felt like I had been hit" Super Lotto (lottery)" and then I walked out. ”

"Come out?"

"Yes."

Schell nodded hurriedly, "It's just to change into a police uniform and walk out of the prison directly." ”

"Okay......"

Rorschach was speechless for a moment, there was still such a lax prison.

Looking at Schelle, Rorschach felt that he was not killing, thought for a moment, and asked:

"What are you going to do next?"

"I don't know, boss, I'll do whatever you say, just let me go and see my daughter."

"What if I let you turn yourself in?"

Rorschach asked faintly.

"This ......"

Schell lowered his head and sighed, "After seeing my daughter, I went to turn myself in, but I just escaped from prison, I really didn't kill anyone." ”

"I see."

Rorschach shook his head helplessly and looked at Quatman, "Can you let him stay here for a few days?" ”

"No problem."

Quatman smiled, "As long as you don't attract the police." ”

"No, it won't."

Xell hurriedly said, "I was very careful when I came, I didn't dare to come here until there was no one in the tavern." ”

Looking at Schelle's appearance, Rorschach frowned, all this is too coincidental, it seems that Shelf was calculated, the so-called escape is just to let him escape as a scapegoat, and the real purpose is actually to kill Helen White, the murderer's calculation is really good, so that Schelle, a fugitive, will not believe anything, but unfortunately, let him meet Rorschach.

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, helping Schell might reveal his identity, but he knew that Schell was a good old man, and it was unacceptable for him to let a good man be wronged, and Schell had saved him in prison, although Schell did not admit it, but he always remembered Schell's favor. Moreover, Rorschach hates the calculating guy the most, and the real prisoner makes him very unhappy.

When Rorschach decides to help Schell find out, a yellow exclamation mark appears in the corner of his vision.
