Early in the morning, a knock on the door woke Rorschach from his sleep.

"Get up, I'm going to be late!" The girl's shout rang out outside the door, it was Odeya.

Rorschach rolled over and sat up, looking at the attic door, and the sound of a sharp knock left him speechless.

"It's going to be right away......" he said.

"Hurry up! Breakfast was ready. ”

"You eat first."

Rorschach let out a long breath and stepped out of bed to the wall-to-wall sink.

Outside the door, Odeya answered, followed by a sound of footsteps, and ran down the stairs.

Rorschach listened to the footsteps and shook his head. Why is the girl's family so frizzy, but it is a bit unexpected that Odeya is so active in school.

After a few moments, Rorschach washed up, changed into a police uniform, and began to tidy up his face in front of the mirror. Last night, the police commission's chief West sent a message that the investigation was over and that he would officially resume his duties as sheriff from today.

That's good news, he smiled at himself in the mirror.

……

After breakfast, Rorschach picked up Odea in a police car and drove to the town middle school. Now that he's back and sending Odea to school, there's no need to continue to trouble Temperman.

Police cars drive through the streets of Sleepy Town.

"Did this mission go well?" Odeya, who was sitting in the back row, leaned over.

Rorschach looked at Odea who was holding the back of the passenger seat from the rearview mirror of the car, and nodded:

"It's okay, it's going well. Did you become friends with that girl? ”

"You say Xiaowa?" "We have a good relationship, I visited her house the other day, and her parents are very welcoming. ”

"You've been to her house?"

Rorschach turned her head to look at Odea. At first, he had been worried that she would not be able to socialize with her peers, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Her dad is a psychiatrist and her mom is a stay-at-home wife. However, I heard Xiaowa say that their relationship is not very good. ”

"The relationship between adults, intimacy or not, cannot only be seen on the surface."

"Hmm......" Odeya nodded, "I also met a boy at Xiaowa's house. ”

"Boy?" Rorschach was slightly stunned, "What kind of boy?" ”

"It looks like a high school student, blonde and handsome." Odeya paused, "But he's a patient of Daddy Wa." ”

"He has a mental illness?"

"I don't know, but I think he's normal, his name is Tate Langdon, he doesn't seem to be a resident of this town, I haven't seen him at school."

Tate Langdon...... Rorschach narrowed his eyes, kept the name in his mind, and decided to take the time to investigate the details of the boy, he didn't want Odea to be friends with some bad boy.

Odeya didn't know what he was thinking, and continued:

"I told Xiaowa about the murderous house, but she didn't seem to be worried, and even a little curious."

"I'll investigate the murderous house."

When Odeya heard this, she hurriedly said:

"Let me do your research too!"

Rorschach glanced back at Odea:

"Your task now is to study hard and not get distracted by this kind of thing."

"Do I have to wait until I graduate from high school and become a police officer to solve the case with you?" Odeya pouted.

"You're thinking too simply." Rorschach shook his head and said, "The most important job of the police is to prevent crime, not wait for crime to happen before solving it." Moreover, the actual work is more about maintaining social order and stability and some trivial work. ”

"Trivial work?" Odeya wondered, "What's that?" ”

"Like these ......"

Suddenly, Rorschach reached out and flipped the light switch on the center console, and the red and blue lights on the roof of the police car began to flash.

Seeing this situation, Odeya hurriedly looked left and right:

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

"Sit down." Rorschach picked up the microphone and stared at a beat-up yellow Chevrolet sedan in front of him.

In Sam's Country, if a police car with flashing lights behind you is driving, it means that you need to pull over for inspection. If there is no stop, the police will choose to shout or sound the siren to alert the car in front. If this does not stop, the police will apply for support to contain it, and even helicopters will be dispatched.

Rorschach looked at the Chevrolet sedan parked on the side of the road and stopped the police car not far behind the car, but he didn't get out of the car directly.

"What are you waiting for?" Odeya asked.

"Wait until he's ready to ......," Rorschach replied. About a minute later, he pushed the door open and stepped out of the police car, while saying to Odeya in the back, "Don't get out of the car." ”

After giving the instructions, he put his right hand on the handle of the armed belt and walked towards the Chevrolet sedan.

The windows of the Chevrolet sedan were slowly rolled down, and the owner did not get out of the car.

Rorschach looked into the car through the rolled down window, the owner was looking ahead, his hands on the steering wheel, and there were no other passengers in the car except the owner. He walked over to the car door and looked down into the car.

The owner of the car, a young white man with glasses, his hair that seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, his arms were slender, he was wearing a white T-shirt, and he had a bit of an intellectual temperament, he raised his head and looked at Rorschach with a slight nervousness.

"Sir, your driver's license, insurance." Rorschach said.

The white youth hurriedly handed out the prepared driver's license and insurance documents out of the car.

Rorschach took the driver's license and the slips, and the preparation he just said was to give the owner the time to find the driver's license and insurance documents.

Due to the proliferation of guns in Sam's Country, most of the police are in a state of high tension, and the slightest recklessness is likely to be shot and killed by the police.

If you are stopped by the police, first of all, do not get out of the car, stay in the car honestly, and put your hands in a place where the police can see them. Second, don't reach into your pocket or reach for the glove box when the police are approaching, as the police don't know if the owner is looking for a driver's license or a weapon.

Moreover, these situations are also discriminated against people, and in the case of black men, they need to be handled more carefully to avoid overstressing the police.

Because, in Sam's Country, the level of tension among law enforcement officers is ranked according to race, with black men at the highest, Latino men second, and white men at the second. They are followed by black, Latina women, or white women, with most Asian men coming after white women.

As for Asian women, Sam's Country police generally treat them as harmless as criminals.

And the so-called tension level refers to the probability that the police will turn it into a hornet's nest if they disagree. So, in front of the police, never make movements that make them nervous, such as lifting your pants.

A man and a woman were in the car and were inspected by the police. Due to the rush of dressing, the man was wearing a little loose pants and his hands were just stretched to his waist, causing the police to overreact and shoot him.

……

Rorschach returned his driver's license and insurance documents to the owner, whose name was Craig Thurston, and the documents proved that the car was indeed his.

"Mr. Thurston." "The car's brake lights were faulty and it wasn't supposed to be on the road," Rorschach said. ”

"Yes, sir." Craig nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll go back and fix it immediately." ”

"Did you just move to Sleepy Town?" Rorschach asked.

"Yes, sir, I've only moved here for a month."

"Very good, I hope you enjoy your stay here."

Rorschach smiled slightly, as the sheriff of Sleepy Town, of course he welcomed people to choose to settle here. He looked at the back of the car and saw shovels, hammers and other tools on the back row.

He frowned and pointed to the back row:

"These tools should be in the trunk, and it's dangerous to put them in the back."

Craig hurriedly explained:

"I'm sorry, sir, I was lazy and forgot to let go, and I won't be next time."

"It was better to do so." Rorschach nodded.

Craig bit his lip and asked tentatively:

"Sir, may I leave?"

"Of course, this time I will give you preferential treatment and no tickets, but next time I won't be so lucky."

"Thank you, sir, I promise there won't be a next time."

"Let's go." Rorschach stepped back and motioned for Craig to leave.

Craig immediately started the car, and the Chevrolet sedan drove onto the road with the sound of "doo-to-doo" engine vibrations.

Rorschach's eyes narrowed, and for some reason, he sensed that the white young man was a little too nervous.
