Chapter 51 Search
Wilbur was not afraid of corpses, but he wanted to go and have a look, but was severely stopped by his father, mayor Martinez.

Frederick's body needs to be transported back to the car for preservation, but the work on the scene has not been completed. Wilbo, Sarah and David know that the bandage freak was killed by Chi Heng, and the black sheriff also knows, but they all For some reason, he pretended not to know, and asked people to organize a search for the surrounding area.

It’s just that the area of ​​Lake Shea is not small, the surrounding forests are dense, and there are many animals. It is undoubtedly a dream to rely on dozens of people to conduct a dragnet search. The search work all morning found nothing.

Kevin Church held a Remington shotgun, his eyes were red, as if everyone was a prisoner, he was the most active, even if everyone took a break at noon to eat a bento fast food, he did not rest, and went into the dense forest alone Search, completely disregarding the advice of the black sheriff.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the search work was only carried out for a short time. Kevin Church came out from nowhere, came to the black police chief Badman, and said coldly: "I want to punish that An old house was searched."

Everyone was taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the old house in the distance. The place they searched was gradually approaching the old house.

Chi Heng has always followed the black sheriff. He had casually followed to help before, but he was actually thinking about one thing. Last night he killed the bandage monster with the "Red Dragon", and his upper body was blown to pieces with one shot. There were pieces of meat all over the place, at least the lower body fell to the ground at that time, but when he came back today, he didn't find any traces, as if the killing scene last night was just an illusion.

Of course, this is not an illusion... There is only one possibility, which seems impossible, but it is not an impossible result.

That bandage freak isn't dead!

Thinking about it, Ben Henry and others didn't believe in the legend of the bandage freak, thinking that some kind of person was pretending to be a murderer behind the scenes. " and "Extreme Boundary", seemingly unimaginable things may happen.

The Bandage Freak is not someone pretending to be, that is, the Bandage Freak, an existence beyond common sense, just like the mannequin on the third floor of the old house.

He was restless in his thoughts, and suddenly heard Kevin Church say that he would search the old house, and immediately came back to his senses.

He wasn't afraid to search the first, second, and third floors of the old house. Anyway, there wouldn't be anything strange during the day, but if they found the basement door and they wanted to enter, it would be terrible.

When Wilbo and the other three heard that the old house was going to be searched, they couldn't help feeling shaky. They didn't want to go through the experience of the dummy model last night. It was simply too terrible.

The black sheriff did not panic, and said, "It is inhabited, and we have no right to search it."

Kevin Church sneered: "Really? But I think the biggest suspicion is there. If the prisoner is hiding inside, we will miss the opportunity to catch him completely as soon as we leave. Can you take this responsibility?" ?”

"Mr. Church, that is just your guess. There is no evidence to prove that the prisoner is hiding there. We must follow federal and state laws."

Badman didn't flinch.

Everyone was talking in the back, and Kevin Church yelled: "Don't tell me what the law is, what is your duty? Your duty is to protect us, but now an innocent child has been killed, and We don't even know where the murderer is... You tell me, what should I do as a father? Do you believe in the law? Do you believe that damn federal law can help me find the murderer? He, an outsider, lives alone for no reason In the town, the murderer who killed the child only reappeared after he lived here, do you think there is such a coincidence?"

Kevin Church pointed the contradiction at Chi Heng. Sure enough, everyone had doubts about this.

Chi Heng didn't speak in silence. Opening his mouth to Kevin Church at this time would only arouse more suspicions. After all, he is an outsider.

"As I said, there must be evidence," Badman responded loudly. "If there is no evidence, and a mere suspicion can convict someone, who wants to do that? Who wants to be the price? You can be sure of yourselves Won’t you be convicted on a single suspicion in the future?”

Badman has been a police officer in Dock Town for decades, and the townspeople have a strong sense of trust in him, especially because this reason is indeed fair. No one wants to be convicted because of suspicion. This is everyone's vital interest. So everyone can't help but nod.

At this moment, Chi Heng spoke.

"Sorry, everyone, I am an outsider, and I understand everyone's emotions and doubts, because everything about me is unfamiliar and unreliable to everyone... Just like you believe in Sheriff Badman, I also trust Sergeant Bardman, if a search of my house can get rid of this suspicion, I am personally willing. But I have a request. Sergeant Durman and two other officers entered the house."

Chi Heng took the initiative to give in. On the one hand, he was recognized by the people present. On the other hand, he only let the police enter the house to search, which is also in line with the law. After all, even if there is a search warrant, only the police have the right to search.

Kevin Church has also regressed. Even if he is emotional, in the past few decades, he has to admit that Sergeant Badman is very fair and just, and he is also quite upright. Kezhen becomes sheriff?
It can be said that he opposes Mayor Martinez, and most of the townspeople in Dock Town may watch the excitement, but if he openly confronts Sheriff Badman, there will be only a handful of townspeople who support him and oppose him. There are countless.

This is prestige, prestige established over decades!
Since Chi Heng took the initiative to retreat, everyone walked towards the old house collectively, stopped outside the fence, and Badman led O'Connor and Moore, as well as Chi Heng, into the old house.

As soon as he entered the house, Badman said: "Kwin, Eli, you two go upstairs and search, don't destroy anything."

Kewen and Eli nodded, and went upstairs.

Seeing that Badman understood his hint, Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but Badman still moved, looked around the living room a few times at random, and then said: "You are a hardworking person, and the place is very clean. Not a lot of dust."

Chi Heng: "..."

It's not that I'm too diligent, but Sergeant Badman, you are too lazy, your desk is a mess and you haven't seen you clean it up.

"I said, Justo, you are as smart as your uncle, and your regression just now was too timely."

Badman was very impressed. If Chi Heng didn't choose to step back, although he could forcibly withstand Kevin Church's aggression, it would inevitably arouse everyone's suspicion and speculation about Chi Heng. Chi Heng immediately took a step back, and the situation opened up. Let everyone's doubts about him dissipate, not to mention disappear, a lot.
