008 Girls
Rorschach looked at the police car in front of him in the middle of the dirt road, and the door said POLICE, which should be the police car of the tribal police.
He took the list from Jessica, pushed the door open, and walked down.
From the tribal policeman's police car, four Indian-looking policemen got out.
One of them, a short, long-haired tribal policeman, walked up to Rorschach and said coldly:
"You're not welcome here."
Rorschach decided to explain first, "I'm ......"
But before he could finish speaking, the dwarf policeman suddenly raised his fist and swung it over.
Rorschach took a step back, and his 85% agility made his reflexes and coordination very fast, and he easily avoided the head-on punch.
The dwarf policeman threw a punch and almost fell to the ground.
Jessica rushed up from behind Rorschach, "What the hell are you going to do!?" ”
She pounced on the dwarf policeman and swung her pink fist to beat someone.
Rorschach hurriedly hugged her, and several other tribal policemen pulled the dwarf policeman away.
He hugged Jessica and shouted in her ear:
"Enough! Stop, Jessica! ”
"Grass, this son of a bitch raised it!"
Jessica gasped and ruffled her loose hair.
Rorschach removed her hands from her supple waist and turned to look at the dwarf policeman, "Can we communicate normally?" ”
The dwarf policeman took a deep breath and nodded.
Rorschach's gaze swept over the tribal policemen, and he held out his index finger and shook it.
"I don't care what conflicts you have with the previous sheriff, but now that I'm the new sheriff in Sleepy Town, I hope you can cooperate with my work."
"My name is Michael Spears."
The dwarf policeman announced his name and stared at him with hostility in his eyes, "New sheriff, what are you doing here?" ”
Rorschach didn't care about the other party's unkind eyes, and said with a pleasant face:
"Officer Spears, I'd like to talk to a couple of people who live on the reservation."
Shorty cop Michael let out a sneer.
"You newcomer doesn't know the situation, you don't have any authority here."
Of course, Rorschach understands that the "reservation" has limited national sovereignty, and as the sheriff of Sleepy Town, he has no right to interfere in anything on the "reservation", but now the clues to the murder may be in the "reservation".
He thought for a moment and said:
"I know you're unhappy with the arrest of your director, but it's a serious matter."
"What's the matter?"
Short policeman Michael looked disdainful, "It's not going to be another old excuse, you guys died a white man, right?" ”
"Yes."
Rorschach nodded, "There was a murder in Forest Park, I know it's very rare for the killer to use a rifle, but at least 5 people living on the reserve own this rifle, and I hope you can let me and Jessica go to the reservation and talk to them." ”
The dwarf policeman Michael glanced at Rorschach, then at Jessica, who was standing aside and glaring at him, "Give me the list, and I'll check it for you." ”
"Okay."
Rorschach handed the list over.
Short policeman Michael took the list and sneered:
"It's kind of like joint enforcement, but I'll tell you, we're understaffed right now because we've lost the chief...... Does the Director understand?! ”
With that, he waved his hand and turned away with a few other tribal policemen.
Jessica stared at them and spat out, "A bunch of bastards!" ”
Then, she turned around and walked back to the police car in a rage, slamming the door shut.
Bang.
Rorschach rubbed his ears, glanced at the tribal police officers who were walking away, and then looked back at Jessica, who was sitting in the police car with an unhappy face, and sighed, no matter where the policing of this situation was involved...... It's all troublesome.
Unable to enter the reservation, Rorschach and Jessica had to return to the police station.
Walking into the hall of the police station, Jessica followed behind Rorschach and said to him through gritted teeth:
"How can you stand there and accept it in silence? That son of a bitch had better stay out of the reservation! ”
Rorschach turned his head and stared at Jessica, "One last time, you just let it pass, okay?" ”
Looking at his serious expression, Jessica shook her head, didn't reply, and walked directly to the locker room, it seemed that she was going to leave work early.
Rorschach looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.
At this time, Deputy Sheriff Emmett came over and said:
"I found all the vehicles that had been parked in the forest park in the past few days, in addition to the victim's SUV and the ranger Sonny's pickup, there were two other vehicles, one belonging to two climbers and one belonging to Marcus Miller."
"Do you have his driver's license?"
"Yes."
Deputy Sheriff Emmett handed over an A4 sheet of paper with Marcus Miller's driver's license information printed on it.
Rorschach looked down, "Let's investigate him." ”
Deputy Sheriff Emmett did not respond, but added:
"Sheriff, I remember something."
"What's the matter?"
Rorschach looked up, a little confused.
Deputy Sheriff Emmett shrugged his shoulders and said:
"I looked at the victim's information and remembered that he had come to our police station more than a month ago?"
"Did the victim come to our police station?"
Rorschach's eyes narrowed, the news was unexpected.
At this time, Jessica, who walked out of the locker room and changed into casual clothes, said coldly on the side:
"Deputy Sheriff Emmett, you didn't even tell us about this kind of thing?"
"I'm sorry."
Deputy Sheriff Emmett spread his hands, "I just didn't remember his name right away, I didn't remember it until I saw the photo, didn't I tell you now." ”
"Humph! Isn't that ......?"
Jessica's stance doesn't seem to say anything good next.
Seeing this, Rorschach hurriedly interrupted her, "Jessica, aren't you in a hurry to go home?" ”
"Nope."
Jessica shook her head, "I think it's better to leave work on time." ”
"Okay."
Rorschach looked at Emmett, "Deputy Sheriff, you go on, why did the victim come to our police station?" ”
Emmett thought for a moment and said:
"He has a friend, a woman, Lacey Stwater, whose daughter is missing, and Robinson is helping her find her."
"Missing girl? Do you have a photo? ”
"Yes."
Emmett walked over to his desk, pulled out a picture from a drawer, and handed it over.
Rorschach took the picture, his brow furrowed.
Jessica hurriedly came over and exclaimed after seeing the photo:
"Indian girl!?"
"Yes."
Emitt nodded, "Lacey Stwatert lives on the reservation, and Robinson is not a family member and can't fill out a missing person application, which is legally under the jurisdiction of the tribal police, so I passed this on to them." ”
Jessica asked:
"Why didn't you notify the FBI?"
Emmett smiled and asked rhetorically:
"Do you like them to get involved?"
Seeing that the two of them were in a tense posture again, Rorschach hurriedly asked:
"Deputy Sergeant, why didn't you tell me this before?"
"You weren't a sheriff then."
Emmett looked at him meaningfully.
A sense of helplessness rose in Rorschach's heart, he sank his face, stared at Emmett and asked coldly:
"So now...... Is there anything else you forgot to tell me? Anything you think I should know, anything! ”
