Chapter 453

After Luke asked about the sisters and the details of the horror story, they set out again.

The car first got on the No. 1 highway, then turned around and drove southeast again after getting on the No. 73 highway.

At last, they got into a rural road and drove for 40 minutes. They arrived at the place called chunmu town.

When the car entered the town, they both felt the uneasy atmosphere of the town. The passers-by looked hurried and seemed indifferent to everything around them.

Occasionally, they opened their windows and met some residents. The other side soon turned away. Instead of saying hello, they seemed to be avoiding the plague.

Not long after they entered the town, their car was stopped.

A sheriff in a khaki uniform, outside the driver's seat, bows down and says, "who are you? What are you doing here? "

Luke, with his hands on the steering wheel, gestured to himself and Selena: "we are the staff of the No. 37 camp. We want to talk to will Rawlings about something."

The sheriff frowned. "What can I talk to him about?"

Luke's smile continued: "will did something bad the other day while camping. The dean of discipline asked him to come back and calm down, but it was not punishment. After all, camping is a holiday for the children. It's not appropriate to leave him alone, so we're here. "

The sheriff looked relaxed and said, "well, just go to will's house."

Luke said, as if he didn't care. "What's the matter here? We didn't see many people coming. "

The magistrate, with a stiff face, said in a cold voice, "we don't have many residents here."

With that, he turned and left.

Luke watched the sheriff drive away, and started his own car, sighing: "it seems that their troubles are not small."

If it's a little trouble, it won't make the sheriff so nervous.

Selena is on the side, checking the information of chunmu town all the time, and Wen Yan says: "there is nothing special here. The population is not large, the economy is not good or bad, the public security situation here in the database also belongs to the normal range, and there are not many bad criminal cases. In addition to this... "

She casually put the tablet on the central console and continued: "ten years ago, there was a series of murders here, which appeared in many newspapers in Los Angeles."

Luke glanced casually at the old newspaper headline photo on the tablet: "children's serial killer? Not caught? "

Selena reached out and nodded on the tablet: "no, because there was not enough evidence to arrest the suspect, so..."

Luke: he's on the loose. Now he's starting to commit again

Selena shook her head, and another newspaper headline appeared on the tablet: "so, the suspect was blocked into an abandoned church outside the town by angry parents, and then burned to ashes by a fire."

Luke said, "ashes? It's a joke. " It's not easy to burn ashes. Funeral homes need special incinerators to achieve this effect.

Using fuel such as wood can produce coke at most, and ash is impossible. After the bone is burned, it will recrystallize, which is regarded as a fake relic.

Selena nodded: "because the police didn't find the suspect's body, the parents were in doubt about the burning of the suspect, and no one went to jail. However, the suspect has disappeared since then. "

Luke: Well, what's this rotten egg that's burnt to ashes for

Selena: "white male, born in 1948, month date unknown, height five feet ten inches. Used to be a gardener or a schoolworker in badm kindergarten? He disappeared in 1990, and so far there is no evidence that he is alive. "

Luke kind of wants to scratch his head: "born in 48? So he's not all fifty-five or six now? "

Can this guy live forever? Or the talent is different, people who are 60 years younger can still come out and kill?

He still has doubts about this.

After all, it's no surprise what's going on in the world.

For example, someone who stark called an old popsicle slept for 70 years, and when he got up, he fought all over the world. He was not old at all.

While they were talking, Luke drove to the house of the will Rawlings classmate.

The house looks good and the economy is not bad. Maybe that's why will can go to Los Angeles to study in high school.

Knock on the door, talk to will's father and will himself for half an hour, and they come out again.

Luke lowered his voice and said to will's father, who was delivered to the door, "I'll give Juliet an account of will, but there's little hope for him to go back. You know, the children's mood at the campsite is not right now. So is will's mood Not very stable. "

Father will smiled bitterly and nodded, "well, it's my request that is too presumptuous."

Luke sighed and said, "if you can, it's better to let him change his environment and not stay in this town. It will have a very bad impact on him now and in the future."Father will nodded in silence and watched them leave.

When they got on the bus, Selena frowned: "will not have mental problems? I don't think his condition is right. It seems I haven't slept well for several days. "

Luke shook his head. "Who knows."

"Where are you going now?" Selena looked ahead and asked casually.

Luke: look for Chris Fowles, who was the first witness of the suicide

They drove to the other end of the town, a gentle rolling hilly area, where all kinds of stone tablets stood.

There was a sunshade where twenty or thirty people were sitting. In front of them was a coffin. A priest was mourning.

This is the cemetery of the town.

In the information they found at the police station, the middle school student lying in the coffin was dean Russell, who died the other day.

A few days ago, he cut his neck with a knife in a fast food restaurant.

Several witnesses saw the scene, but Weir said his playmate in the small town told him that the devil had killed Dean.

That's why will was picked up by Jeff's twin daughters.

After all, it's always hard for those who see the devil to come up with evidence.

After more than 20 minutes, the funeral was over.

Watching the crowd separate, Luke and his wife walked over.

At this time, a boy came to a girl, and they stood in front of the shelf of dean's photos, talking about something.

When he got closer, Luke's keen ear could hear the conversation.

The boy asked, "Chris, did you know Dean when you were little?"
