Chapter 028: Dispute
Seeing the haggard look on the red-haired girl's face, Roger felt a little sad in his heart, and last night he was so caught up in the great excitement of transferring the hunter's hut that he had been looking for him in the woods.
"Sorry......"
Roger wanted to say something more, but Amanda didn't give him any chance to speak, she hugged Roger tightly, and the strength was surprisingly great.
At this time, hearing the voices of the two, several police officers around also took the initiative to lean over, and Roger saw the burly and majestic Greg, and Andreine, who was relieved.
"Where the hell did you go, and then a few more beasts came out of the woods, and I lost my way in a panic, and I ended up going farther and farther......"
It's okay if he doesn't say it, and after listening to Roger's words, Amanda actually cried out loud.
The ginger's unusual behavior made Roger a little embarrassed for a while, and he wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say.
"Roger......
Amanda choked.
"Simpson is dead!"
"Betty and I could only watch him die next to us, but we couldn't do anything."
"What?"
Roger was stunned.
He was attacked and the time was running out for him to take a closer look, but Simpson's injuries were not fatal, as long as they returned to the edge of the forest......
"What happened?"
Roger asked in a deep voice.
"It's Bob!"
Amanda wiped away her tears.
"Betty and I helped Simpson behind, he was so badly injured that we were dragged by the two of us, we didn't dare make too much noise in the dark, but when we got out of the woods and back to the side of the road......"
"Bob's car is gone!"
"Later we found out that he and Lucy rushed to the edge of the woods ahead of time, and these two guys didn't care about our life or death, they got in the car and ran away!"
Amanda clenched her fists, her eyes filled with angry flames.
At this time, Andreine walked in front of her, she stepped forward to pull Amanda away, and then handed Roger a thin blanket, "How is it, have you been hurt in any way?" ”
Amanda also noticed this problem at this time and hurriedly asked.
"I was lucky, I just fell a few times in the mountains."
Greg gave a thumbs up.
"Like a man, I'm really going to impress you!"
"It took a lot of courage to choose to stay in that situation."
"Okay, don't say any more, send them back quickly, Roger hasn't rested all night, he must be tired."
Andreine beckoned and found Roger, and everyone's task was temporarily completed, but thinking of the dead Simpson, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be clouded.
"Didn't you say there were no wild beasts on the outskirts of the woods?"
Roger got into Andreine's car.
"The incident is still under investigation."
Adeline was obviously reluctant to talk more, "Rest well, and we'll take care of the rest." ”
"And you!"
Suppressing her anger, Adeline glanced at Amanda in the rearview mirror.
"You're grounded from today!"
Amanda didn't squeak, when this happened, she was the hardest hit among everyone, and seeing the haggard on her daughter's face, Andreine also relented for a while.
"Don't think about it, you don't blame you for the Simpsons."
"You and Betty are good girls, and Mommy is so proud of you."
Amanda still didn't say a word, just buried her head deep in her hands with her face.
Roger can imagine that scene.
In the darkness of the trees, two weak girls tugged at Simpson, and the looming wolf howl in the distance and Simpson's pain snort in pain irritated their eardrums all the time.
When they arrived at the starting point full of hope, what they saw was the emptiness of hope.
Simpson's injuries were getting worse and his breathing was getting weaker, but they couldn't do anything but watch him die.
The thought of this despair makes people's scalps tingle.
Andreine gave Roger a look, and Roger nodded, understanding what Adelin meant, "Give her a little time first." ”
"I'm sorry, Roger."
"I was just going to let you ...... But I didn't expect this to happen, and if something happens to you, I'm afraid I'll never forgive myself for the rest of my life. ”
Adeline sighed.
On the way back, the three of them were thoughtful, and the atmosphere in the carriage was so depressing that it could almost drip water.
Andleine sent Roger and the others home, and hurried to the police station, and there were many follow-up events.
After entering the house, Amanda locked herself in the room, and Roger also felt a little tired, returned to the room that Andrine had prepared for herself, cleaned up briefly, and fell asleep.
At the same time, the news of Simpson's death in the town was like wings, instantly igniting public opinion.
For the next two days, Roger didn't go out, and he didn't even see Amanda again, during which a police officer came to his door to take a note of what happened that day.
Roger had nothing to hide, and the news that several people had gathered in the field for a mysterious ritual spread far and wide.
The police even went out of their way to ask him why he rushed in at the last minute to disrupt the ceremony of the five.
Roger just prevaricated that it was a prank.
In fact, his presence was greatly weakened in the whole thing, as a strange face, the people in the town were not familiar with him, and the ordinary people did not know the details of the matter.
But the others are different.
With the exception of Betty, the other four, all of whom were natives of Bay Town, are now dead, and most importantly, the attention of public opinion has been diverted to another matter.
That's whether Bob and Lucy ran away or not.
According to Bob and Lucy, they did run out of the woods early because of their panic, but the two of them did not drive away, but waited for a long time.
In the process, they endured great panic until they did not see the others for a long time, and then drove back to the town.
And afterwards, it was indeed the two of them who reported to the police.
From this point of view, it seems understandable that they are doing something, after all, even adults can't stay calm in that situation.
But Amanda couldn't accept it.
She and Betty dragged Simpson, not very fast, but if Bob waited in place, they would never have missed them.
At this point, Lucy even suggested that Amanda and Betty had misremembered the starting point and failed to get to the car in time, which led to Simpson's death.
She and Bob had called Amanda before they left, but the phone never went through due to the signal.
The two sides insist on their own words, and the dispute is inextricable, and judging from the available evidence, both sides seem to be reasonable, and it is difficult to conclude for a while.
On the third day after the incident, Adeline suddenly found Roger, accompanied by a strange woman.
