silence

Chapter 50 Gathering Personnel
It's a pity that Sean and Mick's parents, because of the safety of their children, did not stand on the same side with Kevin Church on this issue. They hesitated and gave up the dispute.

Kevin Church, who was alone, slammed the door, "You will pay the price, I mean each of you."

Ben Henry hesitated: "He won't go to Lake Shea alone?"

"He's not that stupid. He'll be back before dawn."

Badman said firmly, and quietly motioned for O'Connor to follow.

Martinez said: "Wait until dawn to search for the murderer... There are too few people in the police station alone, so I will find a group of people."

He went out to make a phone call. In fact, he had to hold a meeting to convene the townspeople to act together, or the second choice. There were hundreds of workers in the Winchester Machinery Company, which was the most powerful organization in Dock Town. It is a perfect place, and the workers are physically strong, and there are handy tools, which are most suitable for searching and rounding up prisoners.

Others can only rest at the police station and wait for dawn.Originally they wanted to send the children home, but they were opposed by Badman, because the children must be needed to identify the murderer and the scene of the murderer.

When you are upset, time always passes slowly.

Everyone gradually changed from chatting to lying around, dozing off without saying a word, Chi Heng went out to the pickup truck, and was just about to get in the car to rest when Badman followed.

"Justo, this time I want to thank you for saving the three children."

As soon as the black sheriff came up, he said words of thanks.

"This is just a convenient behavior, not to mention that I can't just ignore death."

Chi Heng replied.

"I have a few questions. I can't ask them at the police station. Can I get your answer here?"

Badman lit a cigarette and smoked.

Sure enough...

Chi Heng sighed secretly, the three children's complaints contained too many flaws, it might be okay to hide it from ordinary people, but how could it be possible to hide it from the experienced sheriff who has been a police officer for decades.

"Sheriff, those three children were indeed rescued by me in my old house, and not all the dangers they encountered came from bandage freaks, well, that old house is indeed a bit weird... As for the bandages Freak, trying to stop my car on the road, I solved it."

Chi Heng said frankly without waiting for Badman to ask.

Badman did not directly point out the flaws of the three children at the police station, but only asked when he and Chi Heng were alone outside, which was already an obvious attitude.

After listening to Chi Heng's words, Badman nodded slowly and exhaled a puff of smoke, "You have done a good job of keeping the three children from talking nonsense, otherwise you will be in great trouble and I will not be able to help you."

"Sheriff, don't you... understand the weirdness of the old house?"

Chi Heng has always had this suspicion. He feels that the Sheriff's attitude towards him is too good. The relationship between the Sheriff and the old uncle is not just like ordinary friends.

"As I said, your uncle and I used to be comrades-in-arms to some extent. We have a life-and-death friendship. He has saved me many times."

Badman's eyes seemed to be caught in the past memories, "I don't know what's weird about the old house. Your uncle warned me that it's dangerous there, especially at night. Never go there. He was there The main purpose is to keep this kind of danger out of the way... In fact, when you first came, I also hesitated whether to let you inherit that old house. I didn't want to watch you fall into danger. Later, I thought, this is I can't disrupt your uncle's arrangement, I'm completely relieved that you can live there safe and sound for half a month, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen tonight."

"But this accident happened." Badman couldn't relax his frown. "Your life here will also be greatly affected."

Chi Heng understood the meaning behind Badman's words.

Although he didn't know the specific and weird details of the old house, he had been warned by the old uncle, knowing that the old uncle was there to prevent some kind of danger from endangering the townspeople... and Chi Heng's arrival also inherited this responsibility, so He didn't interfere with Chi Heng, and even helped Chi Heng cover.

The old uncle...maybe he had already thought about everything before arranging this will, and knew that Chi Heng would be helped by Badman when he came to Dock Town.

But the old uncle is such a fool, he still doesn't understand what he said.

Chi Heng was very angry at the old uncle's "deliberate" concealment. Of course, he had no choice but to wait for the Qingming Festival next year to burn less paper money.

"Sheriff, maybe you can help me?"

Chi Heng smiled wryly.

"If you don't talk about this kind of thing, I will help you."

Badman warned him: "You did a good job this time, but remember, keep a low profile as much as possible in the future. Lake Shea...is too easy to attract attention, and you are too conspicuous as an outsider, keep a low profile It's the best way for you to live safely in Dorktown."

For this, Chi Heng agrees very much.

It was just dawn, and as the black sheriff expected, Kevin Church, who left angrily, not only came back honestly, Martinez also brought a manager from the Winchester Machinery Company, and 20 people followed him. Many workers, all armed with weapons, some kind of weapons, such as steel rods, crowbars and so on.

Two police cars, among other vehicles, set off in a mighty drive to Lake Shea.

The townspeople who got up earlier looked at this menacing convoy in amazement, not knowing what happened.

Due to the large number of vehicles, the speed could not be increased, and it was not until more than 40 minutes later that we arrived at Lake Shea.

Everyone got out of the car, the sheriffs with the police loaded with guns, others, such as Sean and Mick's father with a shotgun, and the deceased's father, Kevin Church, not to be outdone, holding a Remington M870 shotgun.

Under the leadership of Wilbo and others, they walked towards the place where they camped last night. In the distance, Kevin Church, who was walking at the forefront, uttered a mournful cry and rushed towards a corpse—that was exactly last night. High school student Frederick died of a broken neck.

"no no……"

The crying Kevin Church, his last ray of hope was shattered after seeing the corpse. He was lying on the corpse in agony. No matter how big the people around him were, he couldn't help but slow down at this time, with a heavy expression on his face. .

No one wants to see a child murdered like this.

The black sheriff asked two workers to pull Kevin Church away, and then asked the old police officer Eli Moore to take pictures of the scene with a camera, and he went to collect evidence at the scene.

Frederick didn't close his eyes until the moment of his death, his eyes were wide open, as if he still felt incredible.

Sean and Mick didn't dare to approach them at all, and hid behind their parents trembling. They used to think that their parents were overly disciplined, and wanted to resist their parents' authority no matter what. Only now did they realize that their parents were the only backing to protect them.
