19, XIII

Sheriff Red, who had come back from the dead, was chatting and laughing with the other officers at the door, which was almost the same as the hysterical and furious sheriff in the morning, and he also talked and laughed while occasionally glancing at us, and there seemed to be some nervousness in his eyes, as if he was hiding his own weakness.

There's no doubt that Sheriff Red is acting!

At the same time, I noticed that inside the house, a man and a woman, were standing at the top of the stairs looking out, their eyes cold and their expressions numb, just like everyone else in the houses around the block. Their eyes seemed to be locked on Red all the time, and even though I kept looking at them, they didn't look at me.

They were watching Red's every move.

The two bloodthirsty boys dragged Red's body into the house, and then the surrounding residents came out to attack us, but now the surrounding residents are honestly nested in the house, and the internal connection is clear - the previous attack was just to buy time for the two children to resurrect Red!

Now that Red is alive, the chaos on the shopping street is all blamed on fog and earthquakes, the giant wolf we saw is gone, and the little boy of Red's family bites a police officer, but the police obviously don't do anything to a five-year-old boy.

All the chaos that had taken place in the town in the morning seemed to be covered up in this way, and some people didn't want the changes that were taking place in the town to be exposed too soon.

Who is this person?

Are the sheriff's two children?

Grace's appearance at the door of Sheriff Red's house is definitely no accident, and perhaps the strange situation in this neighborhood is caused by these two children.

After thinking about it, I immediately told Qiao Wei my guess in Chinese.

After hearing this, Qiao Wei also nodded and said: "It's indeed possible, but we can't kill these two children because of this, there must be a source, but we haven't found it yet." ”

"Source, source......" I repeated as I picked up the album I found at Grace's house.

There were many tagged photos of children in the album, and I easily found the girl in Sheriff Red's house among the flagged children.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand Chinese. The mustachioed deputy sergeant suddenly interjected with a confused expression.

It just so happened that I also had a question for the deputy sheriff, so I handed Grace's photo album to the mustache and asked him in English, "Look at the children marked here, do you know their situation?" ”

The deputy sergeant was still confused, but he was very cooperative and took the photo album and flipped through it quickly.

"I have an impression of these children, and it shouldn't be difficult to find their home...... Do you think these kids are ...... with you?" the mustache didn't continue, glancing into the room.

I nodded at the mustache, and then Qiao Wei came over and pulled the mustache out of Sheriff Red's lawn.

After the three of us walked to the side of the street, Qiao Wei said to the mustache: "What happened today is true, you don't have to doubt yourself!" We are now on the same front, and I don't want to hide it from you, what we are dealing with this time may not be people, but a god recorded in Norse mythology, including the wolf that appeared in the police station before, I think it should be the patron saint of the underworld in Norse mythology, Garm......"

Qiao Wei patiently told Deputy Sheriff Mustache in detail about Grace's psychic identity, the prophecies she made, and all the investigations we had conducted that day. The expression on the mustache's face is also constantly changing with Qiao Wei's narration, which may be the richest expression change I have ever seen in my life, which is better than the Sichuan face change.

After Qiao Wei finished speaking, the bearded deputy sergeant also digested it for a long time before he opened his eyes and said, "So, we have always blamed Grace?" Is she trying to save the town? ”

"That's right." Qiao Wei nodded, "It was because she hindered the evil god that she was killed, and there was no blood in her body, and there were two blood-sucking children in Sheriff Red's house, there must be some internal connection between them!" ”

"But the forensic doctor has confirmed that those bite marks are not fatal at all, and they are not enough to drain all the blood on Grace's body!" The mustache retorted.

"I can't say the reason for this at the moment, so we have to investigate, and we need your cooperation."

"Okay, how do you say you need me to cooperate, I'll definitely help for this town!" The mustache said resolutely.

"That's great! First of all, we need a car, so it's easier to move back and forth. In addition, we need to look at the condition of all the children marked on this album, and see if you can arrange someone to go to the homes of these children, just take the fog and earthquake today as an excuse, just care about it, and then we will go directly to the school to see, so as to improve efficiency. Qiao Wei arranged.

"The car is fine, but the manpower is ......" Mustache scratched his head, apparently he was also stretched thin on the available manpower. However, the mustache finally nodded vigorously and said: "Leave the matter of going to those children's houses to me, I will find a way, and you will drive me first." ”

As he spoke, the mustache handed over the car keys to Qiao Wei and pointed to his police car.

The task that required a large number of people and was the most troublesome was taken over by the deputy sergeant, and Qiao Wei and I immediately drove to the only elementary school in town.

The primary school here is similar to that of a village-run primary school in China, but it is not very large, with less than 100 students in all grades, which is more like a kindergarten in terms of size and number of students. Although Grace's commemorative album is very thick and contains a lot of photos, it is that the dozens of students took them on different occasions and activities, and there are only thirteen students who have been marked by him.

I'm still sensitive to the number "13".

When I was playing basketball in junior high school, my player number was 13, and at first I chose the same number because I liked Steve Nash, who was still playing with the Mavericks, and then I did some research on 13, and then I realized that this number was very significant.

Many people think that the number thirteen is unlucky, but in reality it is the opposite, thirteen represents perfection in Judaism, and in Christianity it symbolizes the death and rebirth of Jesus, so I have always felt that the number 13 will bring me good luck, and this number has always appeared around me, even in my ID card 13 appears twice.

"Thirteen kids, this number is my lucky number." I continued to flip through the photo album and muttered to myself.

Qiao Wei suddenly answered: "Loki, the god of fire in Norse mythology, is also the thirteenth of the gods. ”

"Loki?! It's Loki again! 13 children...... Loki...... Isn't there any intrinsic connection between this? "I have a vague feeling that maybe it's not just a coincidence.
