My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 168
Ethan is standing by the pool while Emmet is taking his notes.

At the back door of the nearby house, two medical staff struggled to lift the black body bag out.

Hood stopped the medical staff, opened the body bag, stared blankly at Kate's pale face for a while, and then closed the zipper.

"Who did it?"

Hood walked up to Ethan and asked angrily.

"Kate was just an accident. These people came for the person in front."

Hood nodded, clenched his fists and strode forward.

Ethan and Emmett glanced at each other and quickly followed his footsteps.

At the place where he got off the car just now, a long-haired black native Indian man was being supported by Siobhan and Brock, and jumped towards the ambulance beside him.

Hood rushed over quickly, grabbed the Indian man by the collar, and pressed him against the body of the ambulance. He roared angrily:
"Who sent those people, and what did you do?"

His sudden reaction shocked everyone at the scene. The Indian man closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.

Hood was annoyed, and wanted to reach out and grab the wound on the Indian man's leg.

Ethan reacted at this moment, and hugged Hood away.

"Let go." Hood struggled a bit.

"His child is watching, what do you want to do to him?" Ethan held Hood and looked to the side.

A little girl who was only five or six years old stood by, looking at Hood in horror.

After seeing Hu Delian take a few deep breaths, Ethan pressed his shoulder.

"Calm down first, I'll ask."

After speaking, he let go of Hood and returned to the Indian man. The medical staff next to him also stood a little farther away wisely.

Ethan smiled at the little girl, then turned his head to look at the Indian man with draped hair.

"My name is Ethan, Ethan Morgan."

The Indian man looked around and said, "Thompson."

"Mr. Thompson, I just saved your life, your daughter, and this lady's life. Do you agree?"

Thompson gritted his teeth, "Yes, that's right."

Ethan stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Now an innocent woman died, at the hands of those people just now."

"Are you going to tell me what happened, or are you going to keep quiet?"

Thompson looked around, because this kind of thing happened, nearby neighbors ran out to watch the excitement, and there were a large number of medical staff.

He breathed in silence for a while, put his hand into his trouser pocket, shook hands with Ethan, and said loudly:
"Officer, I'm very sorry, but I don't think I can help you."

Hood's expression changed when he heard what he said, and he wanted to move forward again, but was blocked by Ethan taking a step back.

He put his hands behind his back, and the business card in his hand disappeared in a flash.

After seeing the ambulance leaving, the group of them returned to the police station regardless of the midnight.

Ethan took out the business card that Thompson gave him, and typed it under the eyes of his colleagues in the police station.

After the two talked for a few minutes, Ethan put down the phone and lit the cigarette Brock handed him.

"Proctor."

"Is he sure?" Brock asked solemnly, leaning against the wall.

Ethan took a puff of cigarette, organized his words in his mind, and then said:
"This Thompson is a committee member of the Chino tribe. They held a tribal meeting two days ago."

"The meeting was initiated by another commissioner, George Hunt, and the main purpose was to remove the current chief Alex Runside from office."

"Before that, they had united with several committee members in the tribe, and they had enough votes to vote Alex away."

"However, on the day of the meeting, the committee members broke their promises and refused to vote in favor."

Emmet crossed his arms. "What does this have to do with Proctor?"

Ethan shook his head and continued:
"Thompson had been threatened beforehand, but he didn't take it seriously."

"After the meeting, he and George Hunter went to question the commissioners who had broken their word and found that they had all been physically threatened."

"The people who threatened them were all white."

Ethan glanced at Hood, "Including the three people who came over tonight, they are all white."

"Shet."

Brock scratched his bald forehead. "Alex and Proctor must have hooked up. It's inconvenient for Alex to do something like this, so I asked Proctor to help him."

"Then what should we do now?" Siobhan looked behind the desk, and Hood remained silent.

It's a small town, and they all know that Hood has something to do with Kate Moody.

After a moment of silence, Emmet shook his head.

"The three men who went to attack Thompson tonight are all dead, and there's nothing that points to Proctor. There's nothing we can do."

Hood stood up expressionlessly and cleaned up the things on the table.

"Everyone is tired today, go back and rest."

Brock and the others sighed and left the police station one after another.

Davis bar.

It was close to closing at this time, and Candy was turning over the wooden chair and putting it on the table.

Seeing Hood and Ethan walking in, he said helplessly:

"What's the matter with you people, you all like to come when I'm about to get off work?"

Ethan walked over to help him clear the chair, "Who else?"

"Who else." Candy pointed to the laptop on the bar.

Jaber walked out from behind, "Good evening, Mommy Falk, why did I get off work so late today? I've been drinking with this old man for an hour."

Ethan shook his head, returned to the bar and sat down.

Hood went straight to the bar, took a big gulp of half a bottle of whiskey, went to the table next to him, sat down, and drank with a displeased face.

Candy also returned to the bar at this time and poured wine for Ethan.

"what happened to him?"

Ethan yawned and drank the wine.

"Kate is dead."

"Kate Moody?" Candy looked up in shock.

"Yes."

Ethan knocked on the table, signaling Candy to continue pouring the wine.

"What happened?"

Candy poured him wine with an expression of disbelief, and then looked at Hood who was sitting silently by the side.

Ethan had no choice but to tell what happened tonight, and then raised his glass.

Candy put down the wine bottle and said after a moment of silence:

"He really passed this time, and he really did everything for the casino's share."

"Kate Moody didn't have any conflicts with him, even if it was an accident, it was caused by him, and he wanted to kidnap the whole family of the aborigine, even for Proctor, it set a new lower limit.

Jabo looked at the silent Hood, took a bite of the ice, and asked Ethan:

"That's the guy we met at the strip club last time, right? Looks like the business guy."

After Ethan nodded, Jabo cursed secretly.

At this moment, Hood said dully:

"Do any of you mind if I just kill Proctor?"
