My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 117 Female Corpse
As soon as he walked down the porch, Ethan shivered from the cold rain.

He quickly quickened his pace and got into the car.

After Siobhan's SUV started, the two left one after the other.

Ethan wiped the water off his face and pulled himself together. The visibility outside was very low, and the car's wipers were swinging wildly.

The speed of the wiper slowed down a little, and the windshield was covered with rain.

In this situation, Ethan had no choice but to turn on the police lights, as did the SUV in front, and the two police cars broke through the rain and drove forward.

More than 20 minutes later, the vehicle came to a wooden house.

This is the meeting place that Hood and them agreed to meet, and several police cars with flashing lights have parked in front of the house.

Ethan opened the car door and got out of the car. As soon as he stepped down, his boots sank into the mud.

At this time, it had already rained heavily in the middle of the night, and the place outside where the naked eye could see was muddy.

He tightened his clothes helplessly, and he and Siobhan quickened their pace and ran towards the porch of the house. Several people were already standing on it.

Ethan and Emmett said hello "Who is missing?"

He took off his coat, shook off the dripping water, and took out his cigarette.

Fortunately, the box was not completely wet, so he picked out a dry cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"This is the home of Mr. Bowman. The missing person is Solomon Bowman."

Emmett came over and said solemnly.

Behind him, Brock and Hood are questioning a gray-bearded Amish man.

Ethan took a closer look and saw that it was Bowman who came to the police station to report the crime on the night of the barn rave party.

He was also Rebecca's father, Ethan lit a cigarette and looked at Emmett.

Emmett continued to talk to them: "The Bowmans went to a wedding today, and when they came back, they found that Solomon Bowman was not at home."

"They didn't pay attention at the time, thinking that Solomon had gone to a friend's house to play."

"However, it was late at night and he hadn't seen Solomon coming home. Mr. Bowman went to the homes of several of Solomon's friends, and they all said they didn't see Solomon. In a hurry, Mr. Bowman called the police."

Ethan took out his watch, removed the water droplets on it, and looked at it. It was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Looking outside again, it was windy and rainy.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette, something was wrong.

At this time, Hood and Brock came over.

Hood clapped his hands, "It can now be confirmed that Solomon has disappeared."

"Characteristics are as follows, Caucasian male, blond hair, freckled face, chubby build, wearing a white shirt and black overalls."

"Now we are going to search for Solomon nearby, and they will also arrange some people to assist us. The weather outside is so bad now, everyone should pay attention to safety later."

Everyone nodded, and after waiting for a few minutes, more than a dozen people wearing black traditional costumes, wide-brimmed felt hats, and carrying kerosene lanterns walked over through the rain.

Ethan scratched his head, these people made himself feel like he was in the 18th century.

After smoking the last bit of tobacco, Brock's distribution is also done well.

They were divided into several teams, and Hood set off first.

Ethan threw away the cigarette butt, turned on the tactical flashlight, and then, led by two bearded men, walked towards the dark cornfield.

The raindrops crackled on the corn leaves, and the wind blew by, and the droplets hit the face in the face.

The already heavy boots were now covered with mud, making them even more heavy. They walked forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

Shouts sounded from time to time nearby, but the sound was quickly blown away.

Not long after, the two bearded men in front gasped heavily.

"where is this place?"

He yelled to the front.

"The large area around is the Bowman family's cornfield, and the children from our side often come here to play."

One of the bearded men, holding a lantern, turned around and replied loudly.

Ethan scanned the vicinity with a tactical flashlight, but found nothing, so he wiped the rain off his face and continued to search forward.

This damn weather is like taking a shower.

After passing through the cornfield, the line of sight becomes wider, surrounded by apple trees more than one meter high.

There is grass under the apple trees, which is much harder to step on.

They quickly quickened their pace and kept calling Solomon's name.

At this moment, a bearded man in front slipped his foot, and with a splash, he fell into a small pond next to him.

Ethan quickly threw the tactical flashlight aside, rushed to grab the bearded man's arm, and pulled him up from the small pond with another person.

The person who fell into the pond wanted to stand up, but his feet softened and he sat on the ground.

"I sprained my ankle." He shyly yelled at Ethan.

"It's really raining all night when the house is leaking, and the boat is late and the wind is blowing." After Ethan complained helplessly in his heart, he patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, let's carry you back first."

"Look at him, I'll get the flashlight."

Ethan explained to another bearded man, and then walked to the other side.

In desperation just now, he threw the tactical flashlight far away, and Ethan followed the light and touched it.

After seeing the tactical flashlight on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now it is really difficult to move without a light.

He bent down to pick up the flashlight, took two steps back, and the movement of his feet suddenly stopped.

"No, why is the water on this ground red?"

Ethan turned around quickly, and the flashlight shone on the ground. The water on the ground was a little red.

With a dignified expression, he followed the wisps of red to an apple tree, and then stopped.

On the grass in front, there was a yellow and black blanket.

Lying on her side on the blanket was a girl with long black hair in denim shorts and a blue top. Her hair was washed by the rain, covering her face.

The rain fell, and the long-haired girl remained motionless.

Ethan sighed, pressed the police radio and shouted: "Sheriff, I'm Ethan, I have a situation here."

Hood's voice is heard on the radio shortly after a murmur

"Have you found Solomon?"

He covered the radio, "No, I found a female body next to a small pond surrounded by apple trees, you guys hurry over here."

The next moment, the radio rang with received voices one after another.

"What happened here?"

There were two exclamations from behind, and Ethan turned his head. The two bearded men were worried about him and walked over supporting each other.

Ethan quickly reached out his hand to stop, "Don't come over here, a murder happened here, you can't destroy the scene."

After the two bearded men stopped, Ethan squinted his eyes and looked up, shaking his head. It was raining so heavily that the crime scene was basically destroyed.

After waiting for a long time, several people from the police station rushed to the scene one after another under the lead of the Amish.

Looking at the long-haired girl with black hair lying on the blanket, and the ax on her head.

Bowman's legs went limp and he fell into the muddy water.
