8. Sergeant Red
Qiao Wei didn't recognize the circle at Grace's feet, but after figuring out the meaning of this circle, we should not be far from solving the mystery of Grace's death.
Qiao Wei took a photo of the circle with his mobile phone and passed it to his father who was sitting at home. At this point, we have completed all the investigation steps in Jihua, and the next thing we need to do is temporarily attach the investigation item - ask Sheriff Redfield.
Obviously, this mustache is not the sheriff's material from any angle, so we didn't ask his name, but asked what the sheriff was up to, and this question directly asked the mustache with a frown and a sigh.
"What's wrong? What did we say wrong? Qiao Wei hurriedly asked.
"No, it's our problem." The mustache was still frowning, and after a pause, he continued: "Sheriff Red hasn't been to work for four days, and we've been to his house, but he has a very bad temper and just scolded us all. In addition, he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to do at home, which was very strange anyway. ”
"Four days? Isn't that ......?"
"Yes!" Before Qiao Wei could finish speaking, the mustache continued: "The day after we found out that Grace was killed, Sheriff Red started not going to work. We wonder if this is going to be with Grace...... It has something to do with her ghost, because yesterday I saw a man dressed as a priest go to the sheriff's house. ”
"Priest? And what about later? Qiao Wei asked.
"I didn't know about it later, I just saw it while I was patrolling the town. Hey, I really don't know what's going on in this town, it was okay before, but it's completely changed since Grace started making a fuss. ”
Probably because of his status as a police officer, he was able to learn more about the situation than others, so his reaction was obviously much stronger than that of the rest of the town, but thanks to this, this mustache was also very cooperative with Qiao Wei's investigation of me and Qiao Wei. Then Qiao Wei asked for the address of Sheriff Redfield's house, and the mustache told us cheerfully.
After thanking the mustache, Qiao Wei and I also left the police station and rushed to Sheriff Red's house, and on the way, we also contacted Qiao Wei's father as told to report our movements.
A few minutes later we were in front of the sheriff's house.
Sergeant Red lives in a residential area in the north of the town, and compared to the small building of the Gordon family, the houses on the sheriff's side are much denser, but maybe the town is quiet, or it may be that it is close to noon, there are no pedestrians or vehicles on the streets of this residential area, and Qiao Wei and I are the only things that are active in this area.
As soon as I pushed the car door, a cold wind swept towards me, making me shiver.
I pulled down my collar and wrapped my shirt hard, but it didn't warm me in the slightest. The sky seemed to be deliberately creating an eerie feeling for us, and it was still sunny just now, when a thick cloud came out of nowhere, blocking the sun to death.
"If you start the fog again, this is completely Silent Hill!" I half-jokingly said something to Qiao Wei.
However, Qiao Wei nodded in response with a serious face: "It's foggy in this season, and the sky is getting fast, maybe it will really become Silent Hill in a few hours." ”
"Fog Capital!" I remembered this nickname for Dun Lun, and at the same time sighed, "Then I can only pray that there will be no triangular head with a big axe." ”
I originally said this casually, but Qiao Wei was stunned for a moment.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Qiao Wei stuttered a little, he obviously remembered something, but he didn't want to tell me about it. Perhaps it was the same reason Qiao Wei said before, he didn't want to make some subjective guesses without evidence, which would mislead his judgment, so I didn't follow up.
There was only a small fence wall around the sheriff's lawn at knee height, and there was no fence gate, so Qiao Wei and I came directly to the door of the house from the middle path, and Qiao Wei went over and knocked lightly on the door.
After waiting for a while, there was no reaction in the house, so Qiao Wei knocked a few more times and asked loudly, "Is the sheriff here?" Sheriff Redfield? ”
After another two minutes, there was finally movement in the room, and a man with a strange face went to the door, opened the door, and asked in a rough tone, "Who are you?" ”
"We are the Royal Exorcist ......"
Bang Dang!
Qiao Wei only opened his head here, and the man in the room slammed the door shut, and then turned around and left.
"Hey! Sheriff, open the door, I know you're in trouble, otherwise you wouldn't have asked the priest to exorcise the demon, we're just here to see if there's anything we can do to help you, please open the door!" Sheriff!!! Qiao Wei shouted as he slammed the door hard.
I don't think Qiao Wei has the intention of giving up, so I also went over to help smash the door together, even if the sheriff doesn't come out to open the door for us in his life, we will make trouble and kill him.
We kept knocking on our side for ten minutes, but Sheriff Zuihou didn't come out, but knocked on two police cars, and then a familiar face poked his head out of the police car.
Officer Mustachioed and two other officers got out of the car and walked in front of us, but they didn't seem to mean to arrest us, but frowned and asked, "The sheriff won't open the door?" ”
Qiao Wei nodded at the mustache, "He closed the door as soon as I said that, and no matter how much I knocked on him, he wouldn't open the door." ”
"Oh!" The mustache answered, then looked at the other two officers, "Let's knock." ”
The other two immediately nodded in agreement, and the three officers who were supposed to come over to stop me and Qiao Wei instantly sided with us and helped us knock on the door to make trouble for Sheriff Red.
The five of us tossed around at the door together, and finally called the man out of the way.
This time his face was worse than before, his head was covered with sweat, his lips were blue and trembling, and he even had a gun in his hand.
After slamming the door open, he put the muzzle of his gun against the mustache standing in the doorway, and yelled, "What are you here for?" You should take away those who are making trouble at my doorstep, not with them! Mr. Deputy Sergeant!! ”
The mustache turned out to be the deputy sheriff, which was beyond my expectations, and what surprised me even more was still to come!
The mustache did not dodge the muzzle of the gun, but asked with concern, "Sheriff, what the hell is wrong with you?" If something happens at home, we can help, we're friends, aren't we? I saw yesterday that you had a priest come back, and if you want to exorcise demons, these two ......"
"Shut up !!"
Sergeant Red suddenly yelled in rage, and then slammed the butt of his rifle into the mustache's head.
The mustache was knocked to the ground before he could react, and blood came out of his forehead.
The two policemen on the side immediately pulled out their guns and pointed them at Red, and yelled, "Put the guns down!" Redfield! ”
But Sheriff Red had no intention of putting down the gun in his hand at all, he stared and gritted his teeth, and his eyes revealed incomparable horror, as if the end of Shijie was coming.
"You don't know anything, you don't understand anything, you all get out of here, you all get out of me!!" Red yelled as he waved the gun in his hand.
Suddenly, Red's pistol "thud", and the bullet hit the floor in front of the door.
His pistol misfired, but the guns of the other two officers did not miss, and at the same time as the gunshot, the two officers also shot together, and three bloody holes suddenly appeared in Sheriff Redfield's chest, and he stared at him for a moment, and then fell to the ground on his back.
