Hearing the news that the cutlass had been attacked in the safe house, Rorschach hurriedly asked:

"How's the scimitar doing?"

"Gunshot wounds!"

Jessica replied, "He's hiding now, not being pursued for a while, but Aprile has been captured by the attackers. ”

"Let's go find him at once!"

After saying that, Rorschach pulled the car door and got into the police car, and Jessica hurriedly returned to the police car, started the police car and drove towards the location where the cutlass was hiding.

Police cars whizz down the highway with sirens blaring.

Rorschach frowned and looked out of the car window, the "safe house" of the police station is mainly used as a secret residence to protect "undercover agents" and "tainted witnesses", and the level of secrecy is very high, this time the scimitar is arranged to live in the safe house, except for him and Jessica, there is no third party who knows, how can the other party know the location of the scimitar? Could it be that someone has leaked the location of the safe house?

With doubts in their minds, Rorschach and the others quickly rushed to the place where the scimitar was hiding, in a farm porch near the safe house.

At the door of the porch, Rorschach saw the scimitar coming out of it, at this time he looked very miserable, limping, Rorschach hurriedly met him and held him up, and asked:

"How?"

"It's okay......"

The scimitar pointed to his stomach and said, "There's a shot here." ”

"Let's go to the hospital right away."

"No way!"

The scimitar waved his hand, "I can't go to the hospital with my identity!" ”

Rorschach frowned.

"But your ...... hurt"

"It's okay......"

Scimitar gasped, "I can hold on, I have a place to go, and someone there will help me remove the bullet." ”

"Okay."

Rorschach helped him into the back seat of the police car, looked at Jessica, and said, "Let's go." ”

Following the address stated by the cutlass, they drove the police car to a Christian church outside the town of Compton.

Looking out the window, Rorschach turned to look at the cutlass and asked:

"This is it?"

"Yes."

Machete nodded effortlessly.

At this moment, a middle-aged pastor who was slightly bowed pushed open the church door, ran down the steps quickly, and shouted:

"Oh——! God, my brother, what's wrong with you? ”

Rorschach stepped out of the police car with his scimitar, looked at the priest running towards the police car, and asked:

"This priest is the one who can help you?"

The scimitar turned his head to look at the priest and smiled:

"Yes, his name is Padro, he used to be my comrade-in-arms when I was a federal agent, rest assured, he is trustworthy."

"That's good."

Rorschach nodded, handed the cutlass to Pastor Padro, then took out the backpack containing Michael's laptop from the trunk of the police car, and said to Jessica, "You call the Master to search the safe house that was attacked and see if there are any clues left there." ”

"I see."

Jessica nodded, "Then you and the cutlass should be careful." ”

"Don't worry."

Rorschach patted her on the shoulder, "There's no one to do anything here with me." ”

"I know you're amazing."

Jessica glanced at him and drove the police car out of the church.

……

In the lounge behind the chapel of the church.

Scimitar lay topless on a single bed as he sweated profusely and gasped for air.

Pastor Padro threw the bullet taken from the belly of the scimitar into the iron plate on the table and asked:

"Brother, who have you offended?"

"Michael Benz, I guess."

The scimitar rolled over, sat up from the bed, looked down at the bandaged wound, and smiled, "After all these years, your craft is still so good." ”

"I don't want to use this technique on you."

Pastor Padro picked up a towel and wiped his hands and asked, "How did you offend him?" ”

"I don't know."

Scimitar pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Rorschach, and asked, "Sheriff, did you find any clues?" ”

After thinking about it, Rorschach told Oraisis and the priest Padrow what he had told him.

Hearing this, the scimitar frowned.

"Sheriff, you're saying that Michael has been secretly selling drugs with Orisis?"

"Yes."

Rorschach nodded, pulling out Michael's laptop, "Orisse said there is evidence of Michael's crime here. ”

"It's all on the computer?"

"Well, but the files are encrypted."

"What can I do?"

"I'll find a way."

Rorschach looked at Pastor Padro and asked, "Pastor Padro, what's the IFF code in the church?" ”

In Pastor Padro's study, Rorschach connected his laptop to the Internet and made a phone call to Julian, the hacker.

Julian's excited voice came from the phone.

"Boss, how are these days?"

"It's good."

Rorschach said, "Help me hack something remotely." ”

"No problem, give me the IP address."

It took about 10 minutes for Julian to crack all the folders in his laptop.

"Boss got it."

He said on the phone, "But your internet connection is too bad." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll hang up if it's okay."

"Wait, boss."

"How?"

"I joined an organization."

"Criminal organization?!"

Rorschach's tone suddenly became stern.

"No, no!"

Hearing the change in Rorschach's voice, Julian quickly explained, "A loose hacker group called 'Rising Tide'. ”

"Rising tide ......"

Rorschach seemed to feel a little familiar with the name.

"Anyway, it's an organization that communicates and learns from each other."

"However, we organized a training session the other day, and after hacking into the database of a department called the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, I saw something amazing. ”

"What's that?"

"Boss, do you remember the original owner of your identity?"

Rorschach looked around and said softly:

"Go on."

"I saw a list of recent transfers, and he seems to be alive......"

"Are you sure?"

"I don't know if it's him...... But I think it should be, because the last time I was dealing with that information for you, I always felt that something was wrong, and then I thought about it, and it seems that someone had changed this information before me, and now this guy in the list is also called that name, and the age is very consistent......"

"I see."

Rorschach narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You wait for my news, don't investigate this matter yourself, and don't continue to associate with that Rising Tide organization." ”

"It's okay, boss, don't worry, I won't let people find out."

"Have you forgotten how you got into prison?"

"I ...... Top dog...... I know. ”

Hanging up the phone, Rorschach narrowed his eyes, and through Julian's description, it seemed that the sheriff he replaced also had secrets, and it even involved S.H.I.E.L.D. ......

Thinking of Agent Garrett's attitude all along, Rorschach seemed to guess something.

But that's not the time yet......

Rorschach gathered his mind and stopped thinking about it, focusing on the screen of his laptop and began to look through Michael's incriminating evidence.
