Chapter VI Police Stations
"Well, Mr. Pierce, Mr. Vincent's corpse is indeed terrifying, but he is not a monster...... According to the rules, I can ask you to confirm if this is the corpse you found in the cave, although this should have been done before the autopsy...... What do you think? ”
"Cooperation? Aren't you a tourist visiting Blackwater Island? What is there to cooperate with the police? Could it be that you can still keep an eye on the drunks on the docks for us? Jonny had long since concluded that the trip was just a pretext for him, and that Pierce had another purpose for going to Blackwater, but because he had bitten it to death, and he had no evidence to get it, he had to hold this thought in his heart.
Now that Pierce had brought it up himself, he decided to taunt him without even thinking about it, and pay tribute to the gray nose he had just touched.
Noticing that Pierce was looking at him, he took another one and handed it to Pierce, but Pierce waved his hand and refused.
"Then maybe you'll understand what I'm saying, this body you found is very important, very, important. Listen, I don't think you're the murderer of this murder - it's the devil's doing. But you're the first discoverer, so I need you to tell me the truth, the details of everything, whatever it is, and I want you to tell me everything you know, because this body you found, he's Mr. Vincent. ”

Now that Pierce had brought it up himself, he decided to taunt him without even thinking about it, and pay tribute to the gray nose he had just touched.
This kind of terrible thing is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and although he doesn't seem to be able to do it - Jonny believes that some psychopathic murderer with professional skills can do such a thing with the help of some sophisticated and sophisticated instruments, but his modus operandi is still unknown.
Obviously, the person in front of him, who claimed to be a traveler, should not be able to do this, because after checking his carry-on luggage, Jonny did not find any strange objects, and his attitude towards corpses was not calm - the sudden sight of a corpse in the cave caused him to be greatly stimulated, so he had severe hallucinations.
Yes, it must be. Detective Jonny suddenly began to feel a little sympathetic to Pearson, and because he didn't want to believe that he had seen a human corpse, his brain told him that what he was seeing was a monster - probably an overstimulation that caused the brain to form a self-protection measure.
So is Pierce already showing symptoms of psychosis? Pierce lowered his head, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples with his thumbs, and forced himself to turn his attention to the facts of the case, not the unwarranted symptoms of the disease.
Except for those messy and unreasonable strange things, this arson case is really strange, Mr. Vincent, who should have been buried, died elsewhere, and this matter was investigated by the sheriff, so the police should not be able to be trusted, but in the warehouse, listening to the tone of Jonny and Brian's speech, the detective in front of him and the sheriff do not seem to be in the same group, and he seems to have doubts about Vincent's arson, maybe he can ask for his help.
"Aside from the exaggerated modifiers in your description, that's pretty much the plot." Pierce shrugged his shoulders and tried to look innocent, but he knew in his heart that the thin young detective with lazy eyes in front of him didn't believe him at all, and he didn't know which part he didn't believe or not.
Pierce looked up at Detective Johnny, who was staring at him with an oil lamp, with some concern in his eyes and more curiosity.
Pierce lifted the white cloth over his head and took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly from nervousness, whether Mr. Vincent was an ordinary person or a monster he saw now, it could not be called good news for him, to be honest, he did not know what kind of face he wanted to see under the white cloth.
Alas, leave it to God to decide.
"Then maybe you'll understand what I'm saying, this body you found is very important, very, important. Listen, I don't think you're the murderer of this murder - it's the devil's doing. But you're the first discoverer, so I need you to tell me the truth, the details of everything, whatever it is, and I want you to tell me everything you know, because this body you found, he's Mr. Vincent. ”
"So, Mr. Pierce, you said you were a traveler who came on a sightseeing tour on this little island where birds don't, and you found a very nice-looking cave in a remote coastal reef beach, and you went in and ventured in, and you happened to find a corpse in it?" Detective Johnny sat in the armchair with Jiro's legs crossed, looking at Pierce, who was sitting across from him, with a playful smile on his face.
Gently lifting the white cloth, Monsieur Vincent's monstrous face was exactly the same as he remembered, evil and ugly.
Pierce didn't know what kind of expression to put on, was he glad that he was not mistaken? Isn't it a momentary insanity?
But if no one else can see what he sees, is his mind completely abnormal?
"I know, it was all the talk on the streets."
"Isn't it strange that its face is covered with tentacles, like an octopus's tentacles, and half of its body is a deformed monster?"

"So, now that our purpose has been accomplished, and your confession has been recorded, you can now go and continue your wonderful journey to Blackwater, ah...... I'm sorry, but the beginning of your trip wasn't perfect, but your luck shouldn't be so bad. I'll go on some other errands. Obviously, Vincent's arson case is not as simple as it seems, and Sheriff Juncker personally investigated the case - that is, the sheriff is deliberately covering up something, and the discovery of Vincent's body and his own preparation to reopen the investigation must not let him know, but in addition to himself, Brian and the trainee medical examiner both witnessed the tragedy, such a big thing is impossible to cover up, in order to prevent Sheriff Juncker from continuing to cover up the truth, he can only race against time now and start acting immediately.
Noticing that Pierce was looking at him, he took another one and handed it to Pierce, but Pierce waved his hand and refused.
"We can't say for sure at the moment, I think we should go to the scene of the fire and investigate it more carefully, and it has to be done as soon as possible, before Sheriff Juncker notices, and it's me and Brian on duty tonight...... Well, then, I'll tell him not to tell Juncker what happened in the afternoon, and if Juncker asks me and says he doesn't know where I'm going when he's napped, Juncker will think I'm at the White Shark Tavern. ”
