"The former sheriff was Morgan, and now it's Hood."

Ethan took off the badge on his chest and threw it over, "You can check it." ”

The bearded sheriff took Ethan's badge and looked at it, then reached out and handed it to him.

"Just in case, you know."

Then he also inserted the gun back into his holster: "What's going on here?" ”

Ethan nodded, took the police badge and put it in his trouser pocket, "Serial perverted murderers, specializing in women." ”

The bearded sheriff's face changed when he heard what Ethan said.

"Lianlian, are you sure?"

"I've already dealt with the people, so I'll let your men take a look." Ethan pulled out a cigarette and handed it to the sheriff.

The bearded sheriff took the cigarette and looked behind him with a solemn expression.

Two police officers, a man and a woman, who were standing behind him, nodded and ran forward in the light of the tactical flashlight.

It didn't take long for a sharp vomiting sound to be heard, and Ethan frowned.

The bearded sheriff couldn't hold back his face, and strode forward, shouting angrily in his mouth:

"You two bastards, I'm ashamed of you."

At this time, Jonathan also walked over with Blake, he didn't say a word, he came up and hugged Ethan tightly, and slapped him on the back a few times with one hand.

"Thank you."

"You don't have to say that, Blake is my friend."

Jonathan let go of Ethan and looked into the dark and terrifying basement, feeling furious.

After a while, the bearded sheriff also hurried back, he looked at Ethan with a grim face, and then said to Jonathan and Blake:

"Can you two have a chat?"

Jonathan nodded, pulling Blake to the side.

When the two of them were far away, the bearded sheriff asked anxiously:

"What's the matter with that kid in there, the man hanging from the hook, the woman with her disfigured abdomen, the stump in the freezer."

I saw that the more he spoke, the more anxious he became, wiping his sweat while talking.

"And the ashes from the incinerator." Ethan added calmly for him.

"Fack"

The bearded sheriff was so anxious that he reached out to grab his clothes, but was forced by Ethan's cold eyes, so he had to put his hand down

"Mom Farke, what the hell is going on here?"

Ethan knows the reason for his panic, as the local sheriff, there is such a vicious case in the jurisdiction, and the victim girl is indispensable to the locals, and if one is not handled well, he will step down in minutes.

Ethan let out a puff of smoke and said:

"The man on the hook is called Gramm, and you, as the local sheriff, should know what is going on with him."

The bearded sheriff nodded hurriedly, "I know, he is the son of the old factory owner, and he was left to work in the factory by his father from a very young age until the factory closed down. ”

"The little boy you see is Martin, and he was kidnapped by Gramm two years ago."

Ethan flicked the soot and continued:

"From what I can tell, Martin has been influenced by this environment and Gram during those two years, and he did what you just saw with Gram."

"Just now I was trying to rescue Jonathan's niece Blake, and I met Martin here, and I wanted to rescue him, but I was attacked by Martin."

As Ethan spoke, he gestured to his blood-stained pants.

"In the process of fighting with Gram, Martin was killed, and in the end, Gram was killed by me and Blake."

The bearded sheriff had been listening to Ethan in silence, his face gloomy as if ice had been hung on it.

His gaze was fixed on Ethan's face, "What proves that what you say is true." ”

Ethan said calmly: "The signs of life in the house above, the finger marks on the knife used to kill the victim inside, you know that this thing can't be faked." ”

Looking at the bearded sheriff's ugly face, Ethan smiled.

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it to his mouth, and the old god said on the ground:

"Everyone is a peer, I understand your difficulties, maybe we can make a deal."

There was a "click" and the flames frang out.

Ethan looked at the lighter lit in front of him, smiled, leaned the cigarette over, and took two puffs gently, the cigarette butt flickering on and off.

The bearded sheriff withdrew his lighter and looked at him expectantly.

"You know the ins and outs of things here, I can not be in the limelight, my friends and I just want to live quietly."

"You just have to clean up the tail of your hands, and the credit for this is you and your men."

Listening to what Ethan said, the bearded sheriff's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked anxiously:

"What do I and my men have to give?"

I just like to talk to smart people and communicate well.

Ethan smiled with satisfaction, stretched out his finger and pointed to his thigh, and said:

"You see I'm injured, I need treatment, nutrition, lost work, and my friend is also very frightened and needs to see a psychiatrist."

"Shut up, don't say anything." The bearded sheriff shouted through gritted teeth.

This movement caught Blake's attention, and she tried to walk over, but Jonathan pulled her back.

Ethan was about to say something, when he saw the bearded sheriff excitedly stretch out his hands and cross his two index fingers.

"One hundred thousand."

The bearded sheriff said bitterly: "I and my men will give you 100,000 yuan, you and your friends shut up, and the future has nothing to do with you." ”

"Deal."

Ethan waved his hand vigorously and slapped him.

After returning from the basement to the surface, several of them looked at the dilapidated house in front of them for a moment with complicated expressions.

The crows in the trees next to them staggered, and from time to time let out a few terrible cries.

Ethan threw the keys to Blake, and now she had to drive.

"Why did you make a deal with that sheriff?"

After the Dodge challenger drove out for a moment, Blake asked puzzled.

Ethan examined the wound "This kind of thing is very troublesome, and if this kind of case happens, the media will definitely report it, are you willing to be reported nationally because of this kind of thing?" ”

"And Graham was killed by us, and Martin Jr. was killed in the firefight, anyway, the long trial...

When Ethan said this, Blake shook his head repeatedly, and then asked:

"Then why would the sheriff be willing to pay such a big price?"

"As for the sheriff and his men, I believe they have enough ability to erase the traces we have left behind, and the credit is theirs, and they don't have to take much responsibility, and they can still be in the limelight."

"Believe me, this sheriff is also a smart person, this kind of rare perverted murder case in the country, Hollywood leaks a little oil and water casually, enough for him to make up for the loss, maybe he can make a small profit."

Jonathan, who was sitting in the back, also nodded, "Let this matter pass, Ethan also avenged those who were killed, he is right, what we need now is a peaceful life." ”

A few people also quieted down, and the sun outside shone on his body, and Ethan narrowed his eyes comfortably.
