Chapter 47: Under the Fog (8)
"Turn around!Turn around!!"
“......!”
The driver gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel desperately, the carriage shook violently, and the passengers staggered.
"Ahh
“!”
Crazy Horse is also undaunted in the face of the cold machinery, his eyes are full of anger, he looks up to the sky and roars, and the horse's hooves rush forward, passing by the front of the car and slamming into the rear of the car!
Bang!
The steam car swirled on the slippery road, the driver desperately pressed the brakes, and all the people in the car spun quickly in the same direction, screaming to release their terror.
The police car in the rear didn't have time to react at all, it crashed into the rotating steam car at full speed, and instantly pushed out of the road, the storm roared in Yaowei, and the leading car crashed into the thick and tall pine tree, the roots of the tree trembled upward, and the stagnant water fell wildly.
Two old brown horses fell on the road, three police cars collided in a row, and all police cars stopped, billowing black smoke.
The sudden catastrophe paused, the steam car was peaceful, and the heavy rain washed over the turbid world, obscuring both eyes.
......
The rainstorm frantically pounded the tin shell, and the sound of wind, rain and thunder came into the car at the same time, and Bill tried to open his eyelids, and the scene in front of him was in a trance, and the front of the car was still smoking.
The visual shaking continued, and his body swayed in unison, trying to shake his head and blink, and the symptoms of vertigo were relieved, and he stood up with his backrest.
The scene of broken door glass was reflected in his eyes, and the policeman on the right was unconscious, leaving a stream of blood on his forehead, and the driver was lying on his head above the seat, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
The champagne in the wooden box is still intact, and as for the location of Savoy......
Empty.
"Whew-"
Taking a deep breath and kicking the deformed car door hard, the rainstorm was carried into the car by the wind, Bill frowned, took off his police jacket to protect himself from the rain, and swayed out of the police car.
The temperature is very low tonight, the air is cold and damp, and there are cement pits everywhere, making it difficult for people to get their feet.
The rain hit the face, like being slapped wildly, and the needle forest was about ten meters away from the road, and the terrain was sloped downward.
Walking towards the road, he vaguely saw a vague black shadow groping at the scene of the accident, and continued to get closer, the sound of footsteps drowned out in the rain, and he saw the Savoy lantern checking the steam car and the wounded in the car.
"Damn it!"
Sha Wei suddenly shouted, and kicked into the police car without warning, the iron sheet thumped, the black smoke was intermittent, and the smell of burnt was wafting.
Slowly approaching Shavoy, Bill did not run away.
This needle forest is probably at the point where Rotterbeni Harbour and Brittus are interrupted, and if you only rely on your feet to return to the city on such a rainy day, you will not be able to reach it after walking all night, and you will be regarded as a thief.
......
"Who!"
Lightning streaked across the sky, Sha Wei suddenly turned back and drew his gun, his heart contracted rapidly, and the blackened figure was so bright that he couldn't see the outline.
"Stand there and don't move, or I'll shoot!"
"Sheriff Shavoy, it's me. ”
"How's it going, can we go back to Brittus?"
Bill lifted his black coat and squinted at the fully deformed steam car, the police inside were badly injured and could no longer show off his might.
Shawey's face was already soaked, and he squinted his eyes to finally see Bill's face and withdraw his revolver.
"As you can see, it's terrible!"
"Not to mention going back to Brittus, we can't even go back to Rotterbeni Harbor for help from the other police!"
"What the hell is going on, how could a carriage suddenly rush out of the road?"
Sha Wei was very excited, the situation at the scene was self-evident, the carriage that caused the accident fell to the ground, the steam car was all turned off, and even the front of the carriage was knocked out of the big pit, announcing how serious the accident was just now.
Bill didn't respond, and he didn't know where the carriage came from, but the two old horses looked familiar, and stepped forward to check.
"Hey, wake up, wake up, don't sleep, get up and try if the car can still move?"
Sha Wei pulled the car door open in the rain and slapped the unconscious driver, and the police officers in the car who were less injured gradually woke up, and suddenly there was a wail.
A driver suddenly came to his senses and tried to start the steam car, but several puffs of smoke came out, and the police car showed no signs of moving.
"Sheriff Shavoy, the car is broken. ”
"Shit!"
Kicking the front of the car again, the decompression spring popped out of the gap, and flew straight to Shawei, his eyes widened and he subconsciously turned sideways, and only then did he escape.
The police didn't know how to deal with the situation, so they slowly got out of the car and helped the seriously injured guy.
"Sergeant Shawey, what now?"
“......”
"Bandage the wounded first, shelter from the rain in the car, and wait for the rain to stop before making plans. ”
Faced with the question of the injured policeman, Sha Wei frowned, and there were countless questions in his mind, but the most important thing now was to stabilize the situation.
As if remembering something, he turned to look for Williams, and he saw Bill lift the curtain and remain motionless.
Sha Wei was a little curious, although he had not been in contact with this man for a long time, but the more he came into contact with him, the more Sha Wei felt that he could not understand this man full of secrets.
Just like now, he has obviously decided that the disappearance of Viscount Goode was done by him, and all these conspiracies and tricks were designed by him and his accomplices, but why didn't he run away now?
Wasn't this carriage a plan prepared by his accomplices to rescue him?
"Excuse me, Mr. Cliff, what are you looking at?"
"Looking for something. ”
Bill replied calmly, and Shawe took the poncho handed by the police, and carried the windproof lamp to shine into the carriage, which was empty.
"What are you looking for, you know this carriage?"
"Coachman. ”
Sha Wei instantly understood the meaning of the words, the carriage would not appear out of thin air, someone must be driven by a coachman, and immediately called the accompanying police and arranged for them to search nearby.
"Look around for any suspicious people, don't go too far, stay safe!"
"Yes, Sheriff Shawe!"
The policemen who were still able to move hurriedly dispersed, carrying lamps and walking together.
Following Bill, Sheriff Shavoy got into the carriage, and he saw the man's calm face, and his wavering heart once again questioned and was no longer full of confidence.
Could it be that Williams really has nothing to do with the disappearance of Viscount Goode?
"Mr. Cliff, may I tell me what else you have discovered?"
"Hehe......"
"Why would you tell you, just because you're a sheriff, because you're the heir to the marquis, or because you say I'm a murderer?"
Bill rolled his eyes, his expression still grim.
“......”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cliff, I sincerely apologize for my previous actions, and it was my fault to arrest people at random without investigating clearly, please forgive me. ”
Finally lowering his posture, Sha Wei bent down slightly and bowed his head, he couldn't continue to be arrogant.
Seeing Shawei's change of attitude, Bill hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, and the torrential rain continued, dividing the inside and outside of the carriage into two worlds.
"Sheriff Shawei, remember what I just said, you have all been deceived, this is a diversion from the mountain. ”
"When I was followed by you, someone should have been paying attention to your every move, the photos of the five women and Viscount Goode were just a serial ploy, and I was the poor worm used to distract the police. ”
Bill crooked his mouth, and finally said the speculation, Shawei is not stupid, but too many external factors disturb his thinking, and in the face of the disappearance of Viscount Goode, he can no longer calm down, and completely solve the case with the mentality of a bystander.
"Mr. Cliff, you have a point, but who do you think did it, and what does he want?"
“...... Who knows, I'm really not familiar with Viscount Goode, and you have to dig out the truth yourself. ”
Bill shook his head and said no more, he had guessed a little about the real reason for Viscount Goode's disappearance, but he was not sure, and he had not told Shawe all about what he had discovered.
Including the blind spots in the dark of the photos and the weirdness of the photo studio, the police are already dizzy, and there is no need for him to intervene again to complicate things.
"By the way, you shouldn't let them out of here, this needle forest has recently seen a wild beast, and passing carriages will be frightened, you know?"
"Beasts?"
"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"I'm going to find them back. ”
Sha Wei was instantly nervous, took out a revolver to defend himself, and planned to find the police who went out.
Sitting in the carriage with his head propped up, Bill lifted the curtains, and there was a forest path in front of the carriage that led directly to the dense needle woods.
The two crazy horses may have come out of there, and the coachman may have been there, and judging by the interior of the carriage, he had determined that it was the carriage that had taken him from Brittus to Port Town.
"Forget it, Sheriff Shavoy. ”
"It's so big outside, you can't find them, it's better not to separate those who are still in place at this time, do you remember Viscount Goode disappeared for no reason?"
Shawe stopped and lowered his pistol.
Although he has been a police officer for many years, it is the first time he has encountered this situation, and even if there is an unsolved case that cannot be solved before, he has a smooth ride in the police station.
Even the director whispered softly to him, which made him believe in himself more and more, or rather, only himself.
But he still can't ignore his men, and if they follow the order and don't go far, they should be there soon, and tell them to stop the investigation and wait until dawn.
"It's going to be dawning soon. ”
"After the rain has passed, the truth will also come out. ”
"With so many layouts, the mastermind behind the scenes definitely has another purpose, and may not only have an enmity with Viscount Goode......"
“!”
In a flash of inspiration, Sha Wei's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly thought of the worst possibility!
