265 Keep up
Next to the road leading to the farm, a police car was parked in the woods.
Rorschach sat in the driver's seat and held the steering wheel, looking ahead, through the glass, the sun was slowly setting in the distance, and it would not be long before it was getting dark.
Next to him, Jessica adjusted the passenger seat to the end, reclining on her body, bending her slender legs, holding the car laptop, and pedaling barefoot on the passenger center console.
She kept her head down, staring intently at the screen, her fingers tapping on the keyboard, and she kept making a "crackling" sound.
Rorschach turned his head to look at Jessica and asked.
"Haven't you finished your report yet?"
"It's coming." Jessica looked up, glanced at him, and continued typing.
Rorschach shook her head and smiled, picked up her phone and opened the map, which represented the sigil of Lady Thurston, still stuck at the farm, and it seemed that she had no intention of leaving.
From the noon conversation, Rorschach knew that Mrs. Thurston did not yet know Craig's whereabouts, but Rorschach had a feeling that Craig would contact her.
Mrs. Thurston said that Craig had always been in a state of nervousness, and that in Rorschach's view, people were nervous because of fear, which was both external and internal.
From the analysis of Craig's behavior of stealing corpses and setting fires to create fake death, he should be trying to hide from something, and he wants to use this method to create the illusion that the target he is hiding from mistakenly thinks that he is dead.
However, his actions were very hasty, at least the means were not clever, and the flaws were very large, and with the current medical methods, it was easy to determine that the corpse was not Craig himself based on DNA.
Then, his actions should be a contingency measure, in order to temporarily evade the target search. However, such an approach would expose Mrs. Thurston to the target's sight, and if the target angered Mrs. Thurston because he couldn't find him, would Craig be able to bear it?
Or will Craig give up on Mrs. Thurston?
Rorschach didn't think so, because if Craig wanted to, he could buy a plane ticket and go to a place where no one could find it. So, he should have contacted Mrs. Thurston and even met with her.
Rorschach was half certain that Craig would meet Mrs. Thurston. As for phone calls or emails, since Craig chose the method of stealing corpses and setting fires, I believe he must also have some understanding of Sam's Country's listening system, and he should not use this method to find out his location easily.
The next step was to be patient, and Rorschach believed that Mrs. Thurston would learn that Craig was alive by tonight at the latest.
At this time, Jessica on the side closed the laptop and stretched out greatly.
"It's finally finished!" She rubbed her neck and tilted her head to look at Rorschach, "Did Lady Thurston pass by here?" ”
"Not yet." Rorschach spread his hands and shook his head.
Jessica looked at him puzzled.
"Shouldn't we be closer? You can't see the farm here. ”
"No, you can do it here." Rorschach smiled.
"Can you see what she's doing?" Jessica stared at him again and again, frowning, "I watched a cartoon when I was a kid, and the sheriff in it had the eyes of an eagle, the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear, and the ears of a wolf, would you have the same too?" ”
Hearing Jessica's words, Rorschach felt speechless for a while, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"How could I have that ability......"
"Who knows?" Jessica pouted disdainfully, "Anyway, I know you're not an ordinary person. ”
Rorschach shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Seeing this, Jessica punched him in the arm.
"I know laugh, I know everyone has their own secrets. Still, I hope that one day you will let me share a little bit ......"
There was a sudden silence in the police car.
Rorschach turned her head to stare into Jessica's eyes, nodding affirmatively.
"I will."
"Nasty!" Jessica's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she hurriedly turned her head, not daring to look into Rorschach's eyes, "I was just joking, don't be so serious." ”
Rorschach smiled, and to ease Jessica's embarrassment, he turned his head and looked ahead of the police car.
After a long moment, Jessica let out a long breath, the flush on her cheeks dissipated considerably, and she turned to look at Rorschach.
"Do you really think Mrs. Thurston will go to Craig?"
"Yes." Rorschach nodded and picked up her phone. I saw that the imprint markers on the map had finally begun to move, and they were approaching the road where they were.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at Jessica, and smiled.
"It's time for us to go, Mrs. Thurston has left the farm."
After waiting for a while, a red Cadillac sedan drove past the two of them.
"Is Mrs. Thurston in that car?" Jessica looked at Rorschach quizzically.
"Hmm." Rorschach nodded, released the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and the police car emerged from the woods and slowly drove onto the road.
Rorschach did not rush to speed up after the Cadillac sedan, the "Hunter's Mark" has a tracking range of about 2 miles, and as long as it stays within this distance, it will not lose its target.
But Jessica didn't know Rorschach's ability, and when she saw the red dot disappearing in front of her, she suddenly became nervous, and quickly turned her head to look at him anxiously.
"Hurry up, there's no pickup in sight."
"Don't worry, don't lose it." Rorschach looked ahead and smiled slightly, he fully understood Jessica's urging, but he didn't want to follow too closely, so as not to arouse the other party's vigilance.
"Is it really not lost?" Jessica frowned, looking at him with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Rorschach turned her head to look into her eyes.
"Trust me."
"Okay." Jessica shrugged helplessly, "You're driving, you have the final say." ”
Rorschach smiled slightly, drove the police car at a constant speed, and chased in the direction of the Cadillac sedan.
Soon, they drove into the sleeping town, and in front of a supermarket, they saw a Cadillac sedan parked on the side of the road.
Jessica glanced at the Cadillac sedan and turned to look at Rorschach.
"It seems that Mrs. Thurston is going to buy groceries."
"It should be." Rorschach also tilted his head to look at the Cadillac.
"Is she going to meet Craig in the supermarket?" Jessica was a little confused.
"No, Craig shouldn't have the courage to show up in a place like this."
"So, could she just be shopping?"
Rorschach shook his head.
"There was just an accident at home, and she shouldn't be in the mood to shop."
"You say, could she be buying groceries for Craig?"
"It's possible." Rorschach smiled and looked at the door of the supermarket, "Don't worry, you'll know the answer in a moment." ”
"Hope you're right." Jessica nodded.
Almost an hour later, Mrs. Thurston walked out of the supermarket carrying two huge plastic bags, which she put in the trunk of the Cadillac sedan, then sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
Jessica withdrew her gaze and looked at Rorschach.
"What would you do if she came home next?"
"Let's go back to the police station and apply for access to her call logs for today."
With that, Rorschach smiled at her.
Hearing his answer, Jessica rolled her eyes helplessly.
At this time, the Cadillac sedan drove out of the supermarket.
Rorschach put up a forward gear and slowly followed behind the Cadillac.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the car in front of him, hoping that Mrs. Thurston would not let him down.
