Rorschach drove the police car and followed the Cadillac sedan far away, when the sky was getting dark, and the street lights on both sides of the road lit up one after another, illuminating the ground.

Jessica looked in the direction of the Cadillac sedan, took a deep breath, turned her head, and glanced at Rorschach with a complicated expression.

"You're right, Mrs. Thurston isn't heading to the town's quarters, or the farm outside town, and it looks like she's going to meet the missing Craig."

"Hmm." Rorschach nodded, and then it was up to us to see if we could find Craig successfully, arson and corpse theft were not a trivial crime.

The police car followed the Cadillac sedan far behind, and after two circles around the town, the Cadillac pulled up in front of a six-story apartment building near the highway to the east of the town.

Rorschach parked the police car about 500 meters from the apartment building.

Jessica stuck her head out, staring at the Cadillac sedan and questioning.

"Is Craig hiding in this apartment building?"

"I'll see if I'll follow it later." Rorschach replied.

At this moment, the door of the Cadillac sedan was pushed open, and Mrs. Thurston stepped out of the car, went around to the back of the car, opened the trunk, took out the shopping bags, and then walked towards the door of the apartment building with two heavy shopping bags.

When Rorschach saw Mrs. Thurston enter the door, she immediately pushed the door open and beckoned Jessica to get out of the car.

The two walked briskly to the front of the apartment building and stood at the door, Jessica leaned over and turned her head to look at Rorschach.

"Are we going to search one by one?"

"No, you don't." Rorschach looked up and swept the six-story apartment building, "Let's take the stairs. ”

The two walked into the apartment building and walked up the fire escape. On each floor, Rorschach would stop to confirm the location of the "Hunter's Mark", and if Lady Thurston was not on the floor, the marker dot would be gray. They went all the way up, and on the 5th floor, the marker dot finally turned bright.

Rorschach turned to look at Jessica.

"Mrs. Thurston is on this floor."

"Is it on this level?"

"Yes, let's go, let's go find her." Rorschach opened the fire door in the stairwell, but he knew Craig wasn't there. Because there were no other dots next to Mrs. Thurston, Rorschach wondered if Craig hadn't shown up yet, or if they were going to make a fight?

Along the hallway, the two men walked gently to the room where Mrs. Thurston had entered.

Rorschach looked at the hidden door, Mrs. Thurston didn't lock the door? Feeling strange in his heart, he winked at Jessica, then quietly walked to the door and gave it a gentle push.

"Craig?!" Mrs. Thurston's voice came from within the room.

"Excuse me, ma'am." Rorschach stood in front of the door, looking indifferently at Mrs. Thurston with a surprised expression.

Mrs. Thurston looked at the sudden appearance of Rorschach, her face changed, her hands clenched, and she subconsciously took two steps back.

"Sheriff, sheriff, how could you, how could you?"

"I'm sorry." Rorschach walked into the room, "We're here to find Craig. ”

"I don't know where he is!" Mrs. Thurston hurriedly retreated to the living room.

"Don't be nervous, Mrs. Thurston." Rorschach followed into the living room, Jessica following him.

Walking into the drawing-room, Rorschach stood in the center of the drawing-room, looked around, and then looked at Mrs. Thurston.

"Is this your new rented house?"

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Thurston nodded, and stood by the drawing-room wall, looking at him with some fear.

"Let's sit down and talk." Rorschach gestured to the circular couch in the living room.

Mrs. Thurston stared at him, took a deep breath, and slowly walked to the couch and sat down slowly.

Rorschach also stepped over to the couch and sat down, and Jessica walked over to Mrs. Thurston to prevent her from making any impulsive moves.

Mrs. Thurston looked up at Jessica beside her, then swallowed, staring at him sitting across from her, gasping for breath.

"Sheriff, did you find Craig?"

"Mrs. Thurston, please!" Rorschach waved his hand, "You can't lie now. ”

"What did you say?" Mrs. Thurston's eyes widened.

Rorschach sighed, Craig didn't show up here, there were only two possibilities, he hadn't shown up yet, or he couldn't show up at all. Judging from Mrs. Menthotherton's performance just now, Craig should have been waiting for her here. But Craig's absence proves that things are starting to go bad.

"Mrs. Thurston." Rorschach stared into her eyes, "Craig asked you to come here to him, am I right?" ”

Mrs. Thurston lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.

"No, no......" Her voice was so small that she couldn't hear it clearly unless she listened carefully.

Rorschach shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that we can only find out who rented this house and when."

With that, he looked up at Jessica.

Jessica understood and deliberately replied loudly: "Understood, I'll go to the person in charge of the apartment immediately." ”

"No, don't!" Mrs. Thurston hurriedly stood up and looked at Jessica, as if trying to stop her.

"Lady Thurston, please be seated." Rorschach gestured to the couch.

Mrs. Thurston gasped, sat down feebly again, and stared at him with an indignant look in her eyes.

"What the hell do you want to do? Sheriff! ”

"I just want to hear you tell the truth, and about Craig, something you didn't tell me."

"No, I don't know anything." Mrs. Thurston shook her head.

"Aren't you worried that Craig didn't show up?" Rorschach's voice became deeper, and his tone began to soften, "Don't you think it's strange? Or do you want to see him really have an accident? ”

"No, I don't want to!" Mrs. Thurston hurriedly shook her head.

"Then tell me, why would Craig want to fake death?"

"Heβ€”" Mrs. Thurston let out a long breath, closed her eyes, and said slowly, "because the man was looking for him, and he didn't want to be found by the man, and we moved here from the city to avoid the man." Because of that person he has been in fear, the other day he said that he thought of a way, I did not expect that the solution turned out to be to fake death, until the afternoon, I saw a letter he left, I did not know his plan, he asked me to prepare daily necessities for him, send here. ”

"Who is that person? Why look for Craig? ”

"I haven't met him, he's always calling us every once in a while, or mailing us letters."

"What did he say?"

"The truth, he wants to know the truth." Mrs. Thurston sighed, "He's always asking about that. ”

"What truth?" Rorschach asked again

"I don't know, Craig didn't tell me, he would go crazy every time he mentioned it, and then I didn't dare to mention it again."

"Didn't you call the police?"

"I've reported it." Mrs. Thurston shook her head, "But the police didn't find anything, so we stopped calling the police, and it was useless anyway." ”

Rorschach sighed, he could hear the displeasure in Mrs. Thurston's last words, inaction would indeed lead to a loss of trust.

"Did Craig fake his death because that person was coming to him?"

"I don't know, but, maybe."

"Okay." Rorschach stood up, "Lady Thurston, for your safety, I have no choice but to ask you to return to the police station. ”

"What?" Mrs. Thurston looked up at him, panic in her eyes.

"Since Craig didn't show up, then something must have happened, and I guess that person may have come to Sleepy Town, so I hope you can stay at the police station for a while."

With that, Rorschach looked at Jessica.

"Jessica, please ask Mrs. Thurston to return to the police station."

"Understood, Sheriff."

Mrs. Thurston looked at Jessica, then at Rorschach, and slowly stood up, taking a deep breath, apparently she didn't have any choice now.
