People are in Marvel, and the system is working as a worker

The boy with Claire is her boyfriend. The two were in college together, Simmons from Phoenix.

In Simmons' imagination, country boys all have short-faced hair, dull expressions, and wear old-fashioned, baggy plaid shirts.

Geralt's appearance broke his cognition.

When some people realize that they have made a mistake, they will not reflect on their own mistakes. Instead, they will blame the person who made them aware of their mistakes.

——I am living in a dream, why wake me up? !

Look, someone just hates you for some inexplicable reason.

and so.

There is no use in being kind.

Good guys should also flex their muscles at the right time, and even punch hard when necessary.

Kindness never means not fighting back or not retaliate when scolded, otherwise it would be too pitiful.

Geralt didn't know that he had read Simmons's little book and shook hands with him. He even felt that he was knowledgeable and magnanimous. He had all kinds of allusions at his fingertips, and he was not on the same level as Wenzong Gong.

But Geralt doesn't think there's any difference. Everyone has their own strengths. When it comes to supernatural knowledge and combat, he can defeat a hundred Simons.

Simmons smiled on his face, but became even more angry in his heart - he tried his best, why don't you feel inferior when you see such an excellent me!

Claire and Simmons take the back seat.

"Go to my house first?" Claire asked.

"Forget it." Nancy shook her head gently, "I'll go directly to the scene, what do you think?"

The last person to ask was Geralt.

"It doesn't matter, I support you anyway." Geralt didn't care.

"Okay, I'll show you the way." Claire said, "You've always been like this. Once you start detective work, it's like a different person. Hey, Geralt, you have to adapt."

"Shut up!" Nancy turned her head and rolled her eyes at Claire.

Then asked: "By the way, what do you think of the case?"

Speaking of the case, Claire's smile faded and she said:

"Shelly is an angel and nothing like this should happen to her."

"Witnesses and DNA showed that Thompson was the murderer, but hotel surveillance and witnesses who attended the meeting also proved that Thompson had a definite alibi at the time of the crime."

Nancy asked, "Do you think Thompson is the murderer?"

Claire said: "I have read Thompson's interrogation records, and my intuition tells me that he is not the murderer."

Nancy explained to Geralt: "Claire's intuition is very accurate."

Geralt smiled: "It's like some kind of super power."

Claire said: "Yes, it's a superpower. It only appears on its own occasionally, like a naughty kitten - it makes people love and hate it."

"No suspicion of guilt...Thompson will be released in two days." Claire added distressedly.

"Since you think Thompson is innocent, wouldn't it be a good thing to release him?" Geralt asked.

"Intuition cannot be used as evidence and cannot prove innocence." Claire said: "Shirley's family firmly believes that Thompson is the murderer. When they believe that the law cannot achieve justice, they will seek revenge in their own way."

"If Thompson is really the murderer, I also want to shoot him in the head. But if he is not the murderer, it will be another tragedy."

"So, help me Nancy."

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

Fairy Tale Town was not called Fairy Tale Town before. An entertainment group wanted to build a fairy tale themed town with the national forest as the main body, so the town changed its name.Later, the project was shelved for unknown reasons, and finally came to nothing.

The scene where Shirley's body was dumped was just outside the forest, under a big tree on a path.

People run past this big tree every day.

In other words.

The killer wanted Shirley's body found.

There are just a few reasons for doing this:

Guilty.

ceremony.

provocative.

The road is a dirt road, only one meter wide. Cars can't drive in, and fortunately, they don't want to.

It was a huge banyan tree, with a crown like an upside-down bowl and countless aerial roots hanging down.

There was a police cordon around the area, and there were many flowers, candles, and signs under the trees that read, "May no harm come to heaven."

Nancy walked under the tree, looked down at the ground, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed down.

"Mom, it hurts," Nancy murmured.

Claire clearly knows what Nancy is capable of.

Simmons was startled, "What is she talking about?"

Claire glanced at him, "Shh!"

Signal him not to speak.

Then she looked at Geralt, wanting to see his reaction.

At this moment, a severe pain hit her, like a needle pricking her head, and Nancy pressed her temples.

Hiss~ Nancy felt like the world was spinning and she couldn't stand still.

Fall down.

His back rested on a solid chest.

"Are you okay?" Geralt's voice said.

It was obviously no different from usual, but Nancy felt very warm and powerful.

"It's okay, my head just hurts a little, just take a rest." Nancy said.

At certain times and in certain places, Nancy can empathize with the dead.The deceased is usually full of fear, pain, and unwillingness before death. These negative emotions, together with some pictures, flooded into his head for a short time, and it was strange that Nancy didn't have a headache.

Under the vision, a little girl wearing a white dress stood under the tree, with scratches and bite marks from wild beasts on her chest.

His eyes were confused and he didn't understand death.

She just wanted to leave here and go home, but this tree bound her within the canopy.

Geralt helped Nancy, "Go back to the car first."

He could see that Nancy couldn't control the ability of "empathy". If it happened again, she would probably faint.

Geralt opened the mineral water and gave Nancy a sip.

After a while, Nancy said:

"I saw some pictures..."

"The person who killed Shirley was a humanoid creature with lizard claws and a tail. It was faceless at first, then turned into a Thompson."

"Shirley was scared. Before killing Shirley, the man said, 'She's going to be the trigger.'"

Claire pondered for a long time and did not think about supernatural creatures. She thought this was the visualization of Shirley's fear.

"Trigger?" Claire had no clue.

Geralt said: "I remember you said before that Thompson was about to be released. Shirley's family will definitely do something. The police must know this and must devote police force to protect Thompson. There is a high probability of bloody conflict in the end. What he said Could it be the trigger of this conflict?"

Claire slapped her palm and said, "It's possible."

Nancy said: "The question is, what are the benefits of doing this?"

Geralt spread his hands and said, "I don't know, you're crazy."

Claire sighed: "But these things cannot be used as evidence in court and will not help catch the real culprit."

"Not necessarily," Geralt said.

Claire and Nancy both stared at Geralt.

"Say!" x2.

Don't give Geralt a chance to show off.

Geralt said: "Since the real murderer's purpose is to cause bloody conflict in Fairy Tale Town. If he knows that someone may sabotage his plan, there is no need to find him, he will find him himself."

The two women's eyes were burning.

The question is, how to get the message out naturally and quickly.

Claire patted her chest, "I'll take care of this."

Claire's old father is the chief of the small town police department, with as many as five men under his command.

——This is why Carlisle was able to obtain so much case information.

The only hotel in town.

The Three Little Pigs Hotel.

bathroom.

Claire looked at Nancy with a faint smile, "Did you do it?"

"What?" Nancy didn't know why.

"Haha, stop pretending." Krall made a fist with his right hand and made a movement of inserting his left index finger, "That's it, hehe."

Well, women will also discuss the issue of Sese in private.

Sometimes the scale is so large that it can make a man stunned.

Nancy said a little unnaturally, "No."

Claire looked Nancy up and down, "It doesn't make sense. Men like your figure the most. Did he not bring it up, or were you unwilling?"

"We just want to let nature take its course and things will fall into place," Nancy said.

"I do not believe."

"I……"

"You are hesitant, afraid of deeper communication. Why?" Claire asked.

Without waiting for Nancy to answer, Claire asked herself: "Because you will participate in the college's fall admissions, you want to escape from Black Pine Town, and you want to start over in the big city. Are you afraid of hurting Geralt, or are you afraid of investing too much and letting you lose it?" It shakes the future."

"Dear, I recently watched a play at school. The heroine Madame Butterfly said, 'All love will disappear. It can't be caught or stopped. The only thing that can be done is to seize the moment.'"

Claire and Simmons left, and it was their job to spread the word, preferably to everyone.

Only Geralt and Nancy were left in the house.

Geralt thinks Nancy is weird.

Weirdly cute?

……

……

Claire goes to the town police station to talk to Dad and tell him that her friend has found evidence that proves Thompson's innocence.

As Claire expected, the old-fashioned father didn't believe Claire at all. He didn't even ask a question and told Claire to go home and stop messing around.

The rebellious daughter and the old-fashioned father naturally had a big quarrel.

boom!

Claire walked out of the director's office and slammed the door.

boom!

He left the police station angrily.

The corners of Claire's mouth immediately turned up, and things were going very smoothly.

When she walked out of the police station, she saw operators, clerks, detectives, and detectives either on the phone or about to make a phone call.

Life in a small town is boring, there are only so many melons, first come first served.

The town is so small and there are few entertainment activities. It only takes a matter of hours for the news to spread throughout Fairy Tale Town. .

Claire returns to the Three Little Pigs Inn.

It was Geralt who opened the door.

"nailed it?"

"Of course!" Claire patted the rabbit on her chest. The two white rabbits were encouraged by their owner and jumped excitedly.

"This is Fairy Tale Town, Claire's territory!"

"Yeah, yeah." Geralt nodded perfunctorily, "Where's Simmons?"

Claire was the only one who entered the house.

"He..." Claire said unhappily: "He doesn't believe that we can catch the real culprit at all. No, he thinks Thompson is the real culprit... Forget it, let's not mention him."

Claire tossed a satchel to Nancy.

"What?" Nancy asked.

"Change of clothes."

"unnecessary."

Nancy didn't plan to spend the night in Fairy Tale Town. After all, it wasn't that far away from Black Pine Town.Thinking of the father who was once an elite lawyer, and now has gradually turned into a sloppy drunkard, Nancy felt sad in her heart. He would not find out if her daughter stayed away at night.

Unzipping her schoolbag, Nancy blushed slightly and glared at Claire angrily.

There were indeed clothes in the schoolbag, but they were black silk, white silk, transparent tulle, and some toys for adults.

Claire smiled playfully and gestured to Nancy, "Come on!"

Nancy: "Get out!"

……

……

Simmons was angry that the two had been alone together before - just as Claire was coming out of the police station.He grabbed his girlfriend and asked seriously, have you had enough trouble?The detective game is almost over.

Yes, Simmons doesn’t believe in monsters.

The so-called monsters are either hallucinations or lies spun by someone for the sake of sensationalism.

This is human nature, and rightly so.

After all, people's understanding of the world is based on what they see and hear.Even if something brand new is presented directly in front of them, people will subconsciously deny it.

Claire looked directly at Simmons, and after a moment, disappointment showed in her eyes.

Simmons is like the adults who didn't trust her intuition, Nancy's empathy, as a child.Let it go if you don’t believe it, but you don’t even have the thought to verify it, you just deny it and blame it.

Claire did not doubt her ability to be active and inactive. The reason why she did not try to prove it like before was just because she had grown up and knew how to superficially conform to the rules of the world, hide the edges and corners, and pretend to be the same as others.

Claire was not angry, and just said to Simmons calmly, I understand, you go back to the hotel first.

The hotel, the Three Little Pigs Hotel, is the only hotel in town.Simmons also lived here, but he didn't say hello to Geralt and Nancy and went straight back to his room to sulk.

What made him even more angry was that Claire also came to the hotel not long after, and just asked him if they were going to have dinner together.

No apology! ! !

Simmons got even angrier, revealing his true nature as a spoiled brat.

Do not eat!

in the afternoon.

Geralt, Nancy, and Claire went to the parking lot of the police station and found a dilapidated van.

According to eyewitness reports, Thompson picked up Shirley in this car and brutally murdered Shirley in the car.

- Evidence found in the car illustrates this point.

Nancy stayed in the car for a moment, shaking her head to show that her powers weren't working.

"Is this car owned by Thompson?" Geralt asked.

"No." Claire replied, "The owner of the car is from Phoenix, but it was reported stolen before the incident. Those who firmly believe that Thompson is the murderer believe that Thompson used the car to rush back from Phoenix to commit the crime, but used an unknown method. Methods."

"How...to install a rocket engine on the car?" Geralt said a cold joke.

After dinner, Nancy decided not to go to Black Pine Town, and Geralt naturally had no objection.

Nancy was hesitant to call her father.

In the end, the number was not dialed.

……

……

Nancy was taking a bath, and the bathroom was not very soundproof. Hearing the sound of rushing water, Geralt was distracted.

Geralt was thinking about a very serious question.

He...should ask politely:

Together?

Some things just come naturally, and Nancy won't refuse.The problem is, the timing is bad.

First, the two are investigating the murder of a little girl.

This is a human tragedy.

Secondly, they are now bait, waiting for the real murderer to take the bait.

While hesitating, Geralt heard a knock on the door.

And Claire’s voice:

"Open the door, it's me."

"I know it's you."

Geralt opened the door, "Didn't you just leave? Why are you back?"

Claire said: "I forgot something..."

"What?" Geralt asked.

Then a meal.

At some point, his black eyes turned into blue, and he whispered: "Forget it, it's not important."
