Rorschach and Jessica walk through the ticket office.

Jessica turned her head to look at him, "There's definitely something wrong with the guy inside!" ”

"Why?"

Rorschach was a little curious, although he also felt that this guy named Spalding was very suspicious, but he would not easily draw conclusions without solid evidence.

Jessica took a deep breath and replied in the affirmative:

"A guy who wears makeup all day long and looks like a clown, there is not a good thing!"

Hearing Jessica's answer, Rorschach laughed, the clown represents evil, chaos and psychosis, and what Jessica said was not unreasonable, he thought for a while, "Let the people from the police department investigate him first." ”

"Okay."

Jessica nodded, "So what do we do next?" ”

Rorschach picked up Spalding's map and squinted at it, "Let's follow this map first." ”

Jessica frowned on the side, "Is this map reliable?" Don't be blind to him. ”

"You'll find out when you go."

Rorschach opened the door of the police car and let the lady get into the car first, and then he got into the police car and drove in the direction of the map.

The police car was driving on a dirt road flanked by tall trees and trees, and after driving for a while, in a dirt pit on the side of the road, Rorschach and Jessica saw an old Ford sedan.

Jessica leaned out the window with a surprised expression, "He didn't lie to us. ”

Rorschach nodded, stepped on the brakes and said to Jessica:

"Call for reinforcements."

Jessica picked up the walkie-talkie on her shoulder and began contacting the Los Angeles County Police Department.

Rorschach looked at the police car parked in the pit, and his heart sank, I am afraid that the four missing people will be more than lucky.

Soon, the Los Angeles County Police Department sent a police car and a tow truck, and a middle-aged policeman with sunglasses and a little chubby walked over, his name was Lauren Weddell, the police officer in charge of the disappearance case at the Los Angeles County Police Department.

"Sheriff, didn't you find any bodies?"

Officer Lauren asked.

Rorschach nodded, pointing to the old Ford sedan, "Not yet, the vehicle is badly damaged, except for the front and rear windshields, the other glass has been smashed." ”

"Oh my God."

Officer Lauren let out a sigh, "How could these kids come to this place?" ”

At this point, Jessica poked her head out of the Ford sedan, "I found it." ”

"Found what?"

Rorschach hurried over.

"Car keys."

Jessica shook the key at him, "I'll see what's in the trunk." ”

With that, she walked around to the back of the car, inserted the keys, and unscrewed the trunk.

"Oh! Bastard! ”

Hearing Jessica's exclamation, Rorschach walked around to the back of the car, her eyebrows furrowed.

Inside the trunk lay a naked young girl, her limbs bound with hemp rope, her body covered in signs of abuse, bloodstained, pale, and seemingly dead for some time.

Officer Lauren asked:

"What did you find?"

"A corpse."

Officer Lauren walked over and frowned at the scene in front of him.

The girl's body was also carved with a knife with a row of letters, TREAT.

"Bastard!"

Jessica turned around and cursed.

Rorschach glanced at Lauren and asked:

"Is it one of the missing?"

Officer Lauren shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"This is the girl from a nearby town, Chris Murphy, the cheerleader who disappeared two weeks ago."

"There was a disappearance two weeks ago?"

Rorschach's eyes narrowed, the news a little sudden.

"Yes."

Officer Lauren nodded, "Two weeks ago, 5 cheerleaders went missing, but I didn't expect that now there is another case of 4 people missing." ”

Rorschach took a deep breath, "Now it seems like it's all a group of people. ”

"Well, damn bastard!"

Officer Lauren frowned and looked at Rorschach, "Sheriff, do you have any other clues?" ”

"All I know is that these young people went to a local place called "Rotten Wood". ”

"Rotten wood?"

"It's a crooked-necked tree, where there is a rumor that a guy named "Doctor Satan" was hanged. ”

Officer Lauren shook his head, "That's stupid too. ”

"Who's to say it's not, the guys who provide the news call them stupid kids."

"Who gave the clues?"

"In the small town of "Willow", a guy named Captain Spalding. ”

"Understood."

Officer Lauren nodded, "I'll have him arrested." ”

Rorschach glanced at him, "The sooner the better." ”

Officer Lauren asked again:

"Sheriff Willis, do you know where the "Rotten Wood" is? ”

Rorschach took out Spalding's map and glanced at it, "It should be not far away, I'm going to go there and have a look." ”

"I'll go with you."

Officer Lauren sighed, "These two cases have put a lot of pressure on the police department, and we also hope to solve the case as soon as possible." ”

"No problem."

Rorschach nodded, and arranged for Jessica to return to "Willo" with the trailer, and by the way, he and Lauren's men arrested Captain Spalding, and then he and Lauren drove the police car to "Rotten Wood" to investigate the situation.

When he got close to the "rotten wood", Rorschach found that it was not just a crooked neck tree, but a place similar to a small farm, with a bungalow and several warehouse-like buildings in the large fenced courtyard, and a local dog lying on his stomach at the gate of the courtyard.

When the police car is driven into the yard, everything around it looks extremely eerie, with scarecrows, skull decorations, pumpkin heads, and a bunch of dirty dolls strung together and hung on the courtyard wall.

Officer Lauren stepped out of the police car and said to Rorschach:

"I'm going to see if anyone is home."

Rorschach nodded, "Okay, I'll check around and see if I can spot anything." ”

"Okay."

Officer Lauren walked to the largest white bungalow in the middle of the courtyard, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door of the room with the skull painting.

Knock, knock, knock.

It seemed that there was no one in the house, so he looked left and right and knocked again.

Finally, a sound of footsteps came from inside.

"Here we go."

It's a woman's voice.

The door was halfway opened, and a middle-aged woman with blond hair and blue eyes in deep V pajamas appeared in front of Lauren, and two white greasy clouds were about to emerge under the deep V.

Officer Lauren subconsciously glanced at it and quickly looked away.

"Hello, sir."

The middle-aged woman held on to the door frame, and the clouds on her chest shook and swayed.

"Good afternoon."

Officer Lauren licked her lips, "I'm Officer Weddell, and I want to ask you a few questions." ”

"No problem."

The middle-aged woman hurriedly opened the door, "I'll tell you everything I know." ”

"Thank you very much for your cooperation."

Officer Lauren nodded, his eyes unconsciously attracted by the bobbing chest, he swallowed his saliva and pulled out an A4 paper from his pocket.

"I'm looking for a missing girl."

The middle-aged woman glanced at it, then shook her head and said:

"No, I haven't seen her, I'm sorry."

As she spoke, she closed the door.

"Ma'am!"

Officer Lauren put his hand against the door that was about to close, "If I can go in and sit down, I have some other photos that might remind you of that." ”

The middle-aged woman's chest was pressed against the door and she shook her head, "I'm sorry, I don't think so. ”

"Ma'am!"

Officer Lauren muttered, "Just a minute." ”

"Oh......"

The middle-aged woman thought for a moment, sighed, pouted, and said, "Okay, maybe I can trust you, who called you a law enforcer." ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

Officer Lauren smiled and stepped inside.
