It's getting dark.
Rorschach and Jessica arrive at the Indian Casino, and his appearance attracts the attention of gamblers. Looking at the casino, which was crowded with more people than usual, Rorschach knew they were all here to watch him play against Sanchez.
The two came to a corner of the casino lobby.
Jessica frowned and said displeasedly:
"I guess a lot of people here want to see your jokes."
"Why?"
Rorschach smiled slightly, "They just want to see me make a fool of myself?" ”
"After all, you weren't chosen by them, but the mayor of the town specially accepted your fate."
Jessica sighed, "They don't agree with you in their hearts, they think you're an outsider...... In addition, you are prohibited from selling and growing marijuana in the town, and it is estimated that many addicts hate you to death. ”
"I understand."
Rorschach laughed, "But tonight is going to disappoint them." ”
"But you have to be careful......"
Jessica looked at Rorschach, "I heard that Sanchez is very vicious, and it often happens that he cripples his opponent in the game. ”
"It's fine."
Rorschach looked relaxed and joked, "That's because he didn't meet me." ”
"Okay."
Jessica shook her head, "I don't know where you got your confidence, we're just policemen, not professional boxers." ”
Rorschach shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly, he couldn't tell Jessica where his confidence came from.
Suddenly, among the gamblers, Rorschach saw a familiar figure, it was Pradino.
Pradino also saw Rorschach, and with a smile on his face, he walked towards Rorschach.
Seeing Pradino approaching, Rorschach frowned, he really could meet this guy anywhere.
Pradino walked up to Rorschach and said with a smile:
"Sheriff, I wish you a victory."
"Thank you."
Rorschach nodded and asked, "Mr. Pradino is also here to see the game?" ”
"Of course."
Pradino smiled slightly, "The flyers have been distributed to my manor, of course I want to cheer for you Sheriff." ”
"Really?"
Rorschach smiled, "Didn't you come to see my jokes?" ”
"How so?"
Pradino shook his head, "I'm also a part of Sleepy Town, how can I tolerate outsiders provoking our sheriff. ”
"That's a good point."
Rorschach clapped his hands and asked, "I heard that you solved a lot of problems for Sleeping Town, so what do you think about last night's incident?" ”
"Last night's ......"
Pradino looked at Rorschach, "I heard that the body found in the abandoned mine was taken away. ”
"Yes."
Rorschach nodded, "You're so well informed. ”
"I have a lot of friends, and sometimes they tell me things that no one else knows."
"Really?"
"Yes, it's a pity sheriff you're not my friend."
"I'm sorry about that......"
Rorschach shrugged, "Maybe we weren't born to deal with each other. ”
"Hehe......"
Pradino smiled, "Sheriff wants to prepare?" Like what to do to warm up? ”
"No, I'm in good shape."
Rorschach smiled back, "Thank you for your concern." ”
"That's good."
Pradino nodded, "But I guess Sanchez is here to deal with you, sheriff...... Prepare well. ”
"What do you mean?"
Rorschach looked at him.
Pradino replied:
"Since he distributed leaflets widely, he must be sure of victory, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing."
"I know, I'm not going to take it lightly."
"That's good."
Pradino looked at Rorschach and smiled, "Then I wish the sheriff a victory, can we have a drink together after the game?" ”
"Absolutely."
Rorschach answered, and then led Jessica to the match hall.
Pradino looked at Rorschach's back, his face sank.
At some point, the cold-faced man appeared next to Pradino and whispered:
"Sir, he's still alive?"
"Humph!"
Pradino sneered, "It seems that our assessment of the sheriff is a little underestimated. ”
"Do you think he's going to be from that department?"
"It's not."
Pradino shook his head and said, "If it was, someone would have informed us a long time ago." ”
"Understood."
The cold-faced man nodded, and then said, "That...... Sanchez is women all day today. ”
"Yes......"
Pradino laughed, "It seems that he ate the special "skeleton". ”
"Will this happen?"
"What could happen?"
Pradino glanced at the cold-faced man, "Do you think someone will follow the "skeleton" to find us?" ”
The cold-faced man hurriedly lowered his head and said:
"I'm just a little worried."
"Then let them come......"
Pradino patted the cold-faced man on the shoulder, "There's no one to stand up to me in Sleepy Town right now. ”
"Yes, sir."
……
As soon as Rorschach walked into the match hall, he received a call from the police station, and someone called the police to report that a waitress had been deliberately injured at the Indian casino, and she was lying in the casino infirmary.
He and Jessica hurried to the casino infirmary, and in the hallway outside the infirmary, Rorschach saw Nora in a white dress.
Nora shook the phone in her hand and said to Rorschach:
"I called the police."
"How's the people?"
Rorschach hurriedly asked.
Nora briefly recounted, then pushed open the door to the infirmary, and said:
"Ask for the rest."
Rorschach nodded, and walked into the infirmary with Jessica.
"So serious!"
Jessica frowned, looked at the waitress lying on the hospital bed, and whispered, "It looks like it's all out of shape......"
Rorschach narrowed his eyes and didn't speak.
At this time, the waitress lying on the hospital bed woke up, and she looked helplessly at Rorschach and Jessica.
Rorschach said to Jessica:
"Let's ask about the situation first."
"Got it."
Jessica took out her notebook, sat down next to the bed, and asked softly, "How do you feel when you wake up?" ”
"Hurt ......"
The waitress took a deep breath and seemed to cause pain when she spoke.
"Sorry, I need to ask you a few questions."
Jessica said, "Hold on, and you'll be fine soon." ”
"Okay."
The waitress nodded with difficulty, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I just want to make more money, make more money...... But he's not human...... It's a pervert ......."
Rorschach clasped her hands to her chest and leaned against the wall, silently watching the Indian girl on the bed and listening to her recount.
Soon, Jessica finished taking notes, and Rorschach walked over to the bedside to comfort the waitress before leaving the room with Jessica.
Walking out of the ward, Nora stood in the hallway and looked at Rorschach and asked:
"Sheriff, what are you going to do next?"
Rorschach glanced at her and replied lightly:
"Of course it's to arrest Sanchez."
