Pradino said slowly:
"All I know is that 20 years ago, someone locked up a serial murderer in a mine, and that serial murderer never came out."
"20 Years Ago......"
Pradino's words made Rorschach even more uneasy, Jessica said that the body looked like it had just died, if it was a serial murderer 20 years ago, after so many years, it should be a pile of bones now.
"I heard that the body was taken to the town hospital?"
Pradino laughed, "I suggest sheriff, you'd better make sure." ”
"I will."
Rorschach glanced at Pradino, although he didn't know if what he said was true or not, but he would rather believe it or not, plus he had encountered a real "monster" before, if the body found in the mine was the serial murderer, it was likely to have turned into a monster, if so, something big would happen.
Rorschach walked back down the dirt slope to the entrance to the mine.
Jessica hurriedly walked over and asked:
"What did Pradino say?"
"He said the body could have been a serial murderer 20 years ago......"
Rorschach briefly told Jessica what Pradino had said.
Jessica frowned after hearing this, thought for a moment, and said:
"Could it be that guy Pradino was talking about?"
"Who?"
Rorschach hurriedly asked.
"Jacob Goodknight, also known as "Kane" ......"
Jessica sighed, "This guy is seven inches tall (2 meters 1 bit), weighs 400 pounds, has a rusty iron plate embedded in his skull, is a psychopath, there was a commotion in the mental hospital where he was staying, he was released from the underground vault, he escaped from the asylum with a killing spree, killed a sheriff when he fled to Sleepy Town, and then Kane disappeared and was never seen again." ”
"...... like this"
Rorschach asked, "Why haven't I seen this case in the police records?" ”
"Because there is no record of this case, I also heard about it from the old man when I was investigating Pradino's background in the past few days."
Jessica glanced at Pradino on the dirt slope and continued, "The dead sheriff is Pradino's brother, and it seems that because of this incident, he broke with his father and left the old Lawn's house. ”
Unexpectedly, there was such a relationship, Rorschach narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Jessica, did you see that body?"
"I see it."
"The corpse wasn't seven feet tall or 400 pounds, and the skeleton wasn't the same size. ”
"Yes......"
Rorschach looked back at the dirt slope, where Pradino had left and was nowhere to be seen, and he asked, "Who escorted the body to the hospital?" ”
"Deputy Sheriff."
Jessica shrugged, "He wanted to go home early to sleep, saying he would go home after delivering the body." ”
"Okay."
Rorschach nodded, "Let's go to the hospital and confirm the body." ”
Rorschach then leaves Brian to work on the exploration site, and Jessica drives him to the town hospital in a police car.
……
In the backyard of the Sleepy Town Hospital, in the morgue of the office building.
Amy took off her gloves, took off her mask and took a breath, so busy that the autopsy was finally over for the time being, and she raised her wrist to glance at the time.
Seth looked at her from the sidelines and said softly:
"Amy, I'm really bothering you today, don't you have something to do at night? Or go first. ”
"It's fine."
Amy raised her wrist, pointed to her watch, and smiled, "There's still time, they're about 11 o'clock in the evening, I'll help you clean up." ”
"It's fine."
Seth hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm afraid you'll be late if you go." ”
"How so!"
Amy smiled and walked over to Seth, "Why don't you come with me?" ”
"No, no!"
Seth shook his head and quickly explained, "I can't leave now, and I guess I'll have to write a report until late at night...... That ......"
Amy looked at Seth, smiled slightly, and asked:
"What's wrong? Slurred? ”
"The ......"
Seth took a deep breath, "It's your birthday, right?" ”
"Yes."
Amy laughed, "You remember." ”
"I haven't forgotten, you wait a minute."
With that, Seth hurriedly walked to the corner of the morgue and pushed over a stretcher cart covered with a white cloth, "Before you go, you can take a look at this." ”
Amy looked at the stretcher cart in front of her in confusion.
"Corpses?"
"It's not."
Seth grabbed the white cloth and said, "Are you ready?" ”
"Okay."
Amy nodded, waiting for Seth to uncover the mystery for her.
There was a bang.
Seth lifted the white cloth and shouted, "Happy birthday!" ”
"Oh! Oh, my God! ”
Amy put her hands in front of her mouth and looked in amazement at the birthday cake on the stretcher, covered with dark chocolate, on which was a skull carved from white chocolate, and brown sugar dotted on the side, like a pool of blood.
"Do you like it?"
Seth asked, a little nervously.
"Oh!"
Amy held her chest on, "This is amazing. ”
"Really?"
Seth swallowed.
"Of course!"
Amy hugged Seth and said, "How did you come up with that?" I didn't expect you to remember my birthday, thank you. ”
"Nothing."
Seth felt hot all over, and at this point it would be better if time could stop.
Amy let go of Seth, pointed to the cake and said:
"It's so creative, seriously, don't write any reports at night, the federal government won't pay you, go play with me, and meet my friends."
"Of course I'd love to ......"
Seth looked helpless, "However, the report must be done tonight......"
"Okay."
Amy nodded and patted Seth on the shoulder, "I understand. ”
At this time, the mobile phone in Seth's white coat pocket suddenly rang, and he quickly took out his mobile phone, which was the phone of Deputy Sheriff Emmett.
"Hello?"
"Dr. Seth, are you in the hospital?"
"Yes."
"Okay, Roxon Energy found an abandoned mine shaft while exploring outside of town, and found a corpse in it that you need to identify."
"A corpse?"
"Yes, we'll be there soon."
"I see, you can send it."
Putting down the phone, Seth sighed and said to Amy:
"Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight, Amy wishes you a great time."
"How?"
Amy asked, "Another body found?" ”
"Yes."
Seth nodded, and said helplessly, "More corpses have been found in the past few months than in last year, oh my God!" I don't know what's wrong, is there a serial murderer nearby? ”
Amy looked at Seth and suddenly said:
"I'll stay and help you."
"What?"
Seth paused for a moment, "Aren't you going to a party?" ”
"I'm not going."
Amy laughs, "You can't do it alone." ”
Looking at Amy's appearance, Seth took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Amy."
