Chapter 9: Strange
Charlie was notified and came to Mason County in order to work with the county sheriff to find the beast that had attacked humans again after several months.
This time the order was issued, and the fears still happened, the matter of the beast attacking humans again had spread in a small area in Mason County, not that the police did not know about the blockade, but this time in addition to the informant who witnessed the death of the victim is obviously more than one.
The informant has been accompanied by police officers at all times, so it is impossible for him to leak the information.
The rumors on the Internet have been eliminated by the Internet police as quickly as possible, but offline, there are already people talking about this matter, and Charlie, who came from Fox, has been notified.
Due to the lack of manpower of the Mason County police, this time Fox Town will be a joint operation with Mason County, and the Fox Police have no complaints about this, no one wants the beast to run to Fox, so it is best to find it before it can harm people again, and then kill it.
"Mr. William Benjamin, thank you for your cooperation, now you can go back, and we hope you will keep your mouth shut."
At the entrance of the Mason County Police Station, Rookie Constable Joe politely explained to the informant, Mr. Benjamin.
"Of course, I'm a staunch supporter of the police, and certainly not a word will come out of my mouth, I promise."
What made Joe strange and uncomfortable was that Mr. William Benjamin, who had reported the deceased as soon as he found it, was able to say so much to him with a smile at this moment after witnessing the body that had been bitten to death by a wild beast.
A staunch supporter of the police? Are you sure you won't turn around and post a "one-day trip to the police station" ins? And Qiao always felt that when William looked at the police badge on his chest, the expression on his face was a kind of banter, especially the other party's eyes, mockery? Disdain?
Joe didn't know, but William's tone of voice was annoyed, but he couldn't lock William up for a few more hours because of this unreliable feeling, this was not in order, he was just a newcomer, and complaining would make him lose his job, thinking of this, Joe felt that the air was getting a lot colder.
On the other hand, Charlie and other police officers worked overtime on patrol, because judging that the murderer was an animal, then the logic of human behavior did not apply, and the police were worried that someone else would be killed.
In fact, when Charlie arrived in Mason County, the local police had already organized people to search the mountains, but unfortunately found nothing, and there was no sign of wild animal activity in the county.
It was impossible to go up the hill at night, and the pressure from above was so great that the police department had to have the officers form a team again and search through Mason County at night.
It is said to be a search, but in fact it is a patrol, and the purpose is very simple, and it is resolute that no more fatalities will occur.
The actions of the beast are instinctive, unlike humans who have a motive to kill a person, and it also needs timing, and the alarm police will stop and hide their whereabouts, and the beast has no rules to follow.
"Charlie, the director is simply crazy, let's keep watch on the street at night, I still have a date tonight." Grumbling was heard in the police car.
John is a young man who has just been working at the Mason County Police Department for less than a year, and he has always dreamed of encountering big cases, and has been dealing with some boring small cases.
Finally met the ...... of death Now that there was a murder, I thought it was time for him to show his skills, but the murderer was a beast, and the enthusiasm that had just risen was extinguished in an instant, and he was asked to work overtime at night.
Oh, and the girl he's been courting for two days just agreed to go on a date with him, if not for the extra ...... Of course, not for overtime pay, John considers himself a police officer with professional ethics and pursuit.
Charlie didn't like to work overtime either, and he wanted to be able to go home and rest in the evening, but he couldn't do his job, Mason County was too close to Fox, and his baby daughter was now at Fox's house.
"Hey Charlie, do you see if that guy is the lawyer who called the police, what's his name, Willie?" John was still venting his various dissatisfactions, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure flash.
"You're dazzled, there's no one there."
Charlie looked at the place where John had signaled, and there was not even a ghost in sight, except for an abandoned warehouse.
"Impossible, I saw it clearly, the confession I recorded in the afternoon, it is impossible to be mistaken, you don't think I will hallucinate at this time, and the protagonist of my hallucination is a man who has only met once?" John was angry, or deliberately so, to ease the rising fear.
He was sure he saw it, but he didn't even blink an eye and the other disappeared.
"Maybe you're not mistaken, but so what, as long as he doesn't talk nonsense before solving the case, there's no problem."
"He's gone."
"It's night, and there's no street lights, and the lights aren't on, are you sure you can see clearly?"
"I ......" Now John also began to suspect that he had read it wrong.
"Forget it, there's no harvest here, let's go back first and see if the other groups have any gains, maybe the beast slept tonight?" Charlie made a rare joke to relax his temporary partner, who had suddenly become nervous.
A pair of eyes in the dark night, watching the police car start and leave from a distance, sneered and appeared at the door of the abandoned warehouse again, the roller shutter door rose and fell, and the people in the night disappeared again.
At this moment, in a dark corner opposite the warehouse, two figures appeared, and they sneakily and cautiously approached the abandoned warehouse.
Charlie looked at the closed door at a loss, although John was young, but Charlie believed that John would not be targeted for no reason, since he said that he saw the informant, whether it was true or not, Charlie would come seriously.
There has been no progress in the current investigation, assuming that everything John says is true, and that the informant's unusual behaviour is enough to arouse the suspicion of any competent police officer, and that this is still some distance from the informant's home.
At this point, Charlie drove away and drove back to the police station, but in fact he didn't drive far before he stopped, and walked back with John, only to see the door of the warehouse that was supposed to be abandoned closed, and both of them realized that their judgment was not wrong.
Regardless of whether the secrets in this warehouse have anything to do with the murder of wild beasts, there is a high probability that there is a crime going on here, which is not alarmism, this is the instinct of the police.
Well, both policemen who have dreams of solving big cases, when they encounter suspected cases, the enthusiasm that bursts out is terrifying.
Wow~
The shrill sound broke the silence of the night, and standing in front of the roller shutter door, the sound was even more uncomfortable, and at the same time, I began to worry about whether such a loud sound would arouse the alarm of the people inside.
It turned out that Charlie had misjudged, they were too close to the door, and it was night before they thought that the door was opening loudly, but the dark, without a trace of light in the warehouse made the two of them suspicious, could it really be that they were wrong?
"Get in here." John urged.
Charlie didn't speak, but decisively flashed into this warehouse that had been abandoned for almost a year but had not been transferred or auctioned, and at the same time, the gun Glock 1911 on his waist had also been withdrawn, and the vigilant posture was against the wall, in fact, Charlie wanted to ask John: "The young man's ability to pick locks is quite slippery, where did he learn it?".
Liszt drove the Harley aimlessly through the streets of Masonshire, and he had just come out of one of Masonshire's most famous pubs, and naturally found nothing.
Liszt originally wanted to go to the next house, but he always found police cars patrolling or listening to the sidelines on the street, and several waves of police had asked him to hurry home and not stay outside, which made Liszt depressed but also really felt the seriousness of the situation.
"This car...... Charlie's?"
The police car parked on the side of the road was still empty, and Liszt became more and more worried.
