Chapter 055: Return to the Cabin
"The case was solved so quickly? It's only been a day! ”
The people of the town were talking.
"At least it shows that we're paying taxes in the right places, and the guys at the police station are pretty good."
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Roger was a little dazed, he and Henrik fought with the murderer, and with Henrik's combat power, they couldn't leave each other, ordinary policemen?
Could it be that Andreine's top boss can't withstand the pressure and casually finds someone to blame, right?
This situation is not impossible, after all, Sherman has a special status, and the factory he manages is the pillar industry of the town, so in order to calm the restlessness, it is also necessary to temporarily stabilize the mood of the residents.
"It really doesn't have much to do with those guys at the police department."
Someone said.
"I heard it was Sherman's son, Bob who gave the police a clue."
Sherman has always lived in the town and rarely goes out, and has had very few recent contacts with strangers, although according to Bob, his father once met a strange woman 10 days ago.
"It's an outsider, it should be called ......"
"Ivy."
"It is said that this woman is Kant's ex-girlfriend and is here to investigate Kant's incident."
"The police went to Ivy's temporary residence in town last night, and there are rumors that someone has been caught and is now being interrogated in secret."
"Great!"
Everyone in the restaurant clapped their hands in celebration.
"Sherman was a good fellow, not as stingy as other capitalists, and considerate of his workers, and the factories had stopped working in the past few days."
Someone sighed.
"We don't know what will happen to our lives in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally high atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed, and the conversation after tea and dinner was not as important as one's own life.
"Roger......
Amanda's voice came from his ears, "Do you really think the murderer has been caught?" ”
The red-haired girl's gaze fell on Roger's face.
Roger lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, "Why do you ask, everyone has been caught, and the case should be solved soon." ”
"Don't you trust your mother?"
He asked rhetorically.
"That's not what I meant......"
"It's just that the nearest town doesn't feel peaceful at all, and it even makes me feel a little strange."
Amanda was in a somewhat depressed mood.
"Don't think about it, it's all in the past."
Roger reassured.
When he got up to pay and pushed the door to leave, the red-haired girl suddenly said from behind Roger, "How do I feel that you are a little disapproving, when people mentioned the murderer just now, you seemed to be ......"
"It's hard to believe."
"Huh." Roger chuckled dryly.
Girl, it's a shame for you to be so observant and not to be a policeman.
"It should be normal to be a little surprised to catch the murderer in one day."
Roger explained.
"No, it always feels like you're hiding something from me."
"Honestly, do you know something?"
The noisy and noisy along the way finally dispelled Amanda's doubts, and after coming to the school, Bob naturally did not appear, but the school also talked about it all the time.
Considering that Ivy might be the monster of the night, Roger was a little worried about Andreine, and took the time to call Andreine a few times, but all of them showed that no one answered.
During recess, Henrik sent a text message telling Roger that he had left Baytown beforehand, and that the two of them had agreed to go to nearby Everglades together for the weekend break.
Ivy was captured, Henrik was not in town, and there was no need to worry, and Roger could finally go to the hunter's hut in the evening to have a look.
After the Sherman Manor incident, Roger is eager to improve his strength, and at least raise his general swordsmanship to level 2 to improve his physical fitness to a higher level.
Also, he had to find a reason to get Andrine to agree to go to Swamp Town on the weekend.
This weekend coincides with the town's traditional festival, the Fishman Festival, which is unique to the local culture and is said to have been passed down for nearly a hundred years.
In the beginning, it was the fishermen who prayed for safety by the sea, but over time, it gradually turned into a large-scale celebratory tour.
The town government and wealthy local businessmen will pay for the team from other places to perform in a loop.
Combined with the weekend and celebrations, all the schools in the town gave all the teachers and students a long vacation.
It's a bigger festival than Christmas in Baytown, with tours and activities lasting nearly ten days, but it seems that only the first few days have the most attendance and performances.
If there is no accident, and Henrik completes this mission, during the vacation, Roger plans to soak in his cabin, and this time he does not even plan to leave there without improving his strength to the end.
The daylight passed in a flash, and Roger was still trying his best to make up for the courses.
Especially in several courses related to chemical experiments, the standardized operation and process have improved Roger a lot.
In the evening, Andleine called back, telling Roger that she and Greg had a mission to go to Little Jack's aunt's house for dinner by themselves.
There was a noise on the other side of the phone, the sound of the walkie-talkie was ringing, and it seemed that they had already set off.
Adeline was originally worried that Amanda would take this opportunity to slip out, and specifically told Roger to take a good look at the red-haired girl.
But after the Simpson incident, Amanda's personality changed a lot, and it was not too early for several people to return from Jack's aunt's house, so they went back to their respective houses.
After meditating as usual and using psychic water for several days in a row, Roger had already felt some changes in his inner life, and even his vision seemed to have become sharper, and he could see his surroundings clearly in a slightly darker environment.
As night fell, making sure that Amanda and Jack were asleep, Roger locked the door and quietly climbed out of the window.
It didn't take long to get to my cabin.
"You haven't been here lately."
A cold voice came, Anna's figure appeared from the mist, I don't know if it was an illusion, Roger always felt that Anna's body seemed to become a little more condensed.
"There's been so much going on lately that I've been delayed."
"Can you come and talk to me when you're fine?"
"I can't live without here, it's boring to be alone."
"I try."
Roger didn't dare to promise lightly.
He had looked up the history of Baytown in the school library, but strangely, Roger hadn't found any information about Anna's family on the papers.
This made him a little wary.
And the surrounding barren mountains, even a long time ago, did not look like a suitable place to live.
He checked the place where the body had been buried, and everything was normal, and the body had not been dug out by the beast.
After chatting with Anna for a few words, Roger walked into the hut, closed the door, drank the pain potion, and began to practice masochism.
