Joker Game (Fei Gua) Chapter 177: Story 5
Indeed...the character design of Sheriff Pahn seems to be a little bit different from what he showed in the scene. According to his irritable personality and often violent law enforcement temper, how could he tolerate a fool, A third-rate detective with no ambition to intervene in his case...
"Very well, this is a suspicious point...and the **** on the other side doesn't know about it~" You Ren thought to himself, without showing any emotion on his face. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā
The story continues...
The camera was still on Sergeant Parn at the table in the tavern. He had just had a glass of strong wine, and the spicy taste made him twist his facial features together involuntarily.
The angle of view continues to zoom out...It turns out that there is another person sitting at Pan's table...
Over 40 years old, but the skin on his face makes him look at least 10 years older than his actual age, his hair is frizzy, it should be cut by himself in front of the mirror, and the cotton coat is full of wrinkles After not washing for a long time, the dust has accumulated countless layers, and it has covered the surface of the clothes, making it look shiny.
Obviously, this is also a homeless man. At this moment, there is also a bottle of wine and a glass in front of him. But the cup obviously doesn't fit this person's aura. I saw him holding the bottle and inserting it directly into his mouth. Judging by the depth, the mouth of the bottle should almost be stuck in his throat..."Gudong~Gudong ~" There were clear swallowing sounds, and then he pulled the wine bottle out of his mouth in satisfaction, and when he left his lips, he made a disgusting "boo" sound...Of course, there is still a need to continue. The last "wine hiccups".
Pain glanced at this dear friend lightly, and said: "It's very good that you can sit here, please don't make such disgusting noise~"
The homeless man's face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, and there was a sense of happiness that ordinary people couldn't understand: "Sir... hiccup... I'm the only witness, look... ..Are you going to..." He shook his finger, which obviously meant to say the word "money" again.
However, Sergeant Parn is undoubtedly the kind of old fritters that hang out in the streets and alleys, so it is no problem to deal with this kind of people who sit on the ground and raise prices, so he sighed helplessly, and pointed at the other party in a sincere tone Said: "Listen, you probably have been hanging around this block for a long time. You should know who I am. Either take what you deserve and be a good boy... or I dare to spend the rest of my life. bet you'll regret what you just said..."
"Eh...I understand~" The homeless man spread his hands resentfully, saying, "You are the boss, you have the final say."
At this moment, there was a sound of the door being pushed open outside the camera, and the two people at the table followed the sound, and then Sheriff Pain waved his hand.
Soon, Mr. Andrew wobbled into the camera.
"Who is this?" He asked impolitely, then sat down at the table, his hair still messed up, with a sleepy look, he casually grabbed the wine bottle in front of Sergeant Parn, and gave himself Poured a glass...
Under this very impolite behavior, Sergeant Parn didn't say anything, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and replied calmly: "You can also see that this man is a homeless man, he His name, what he has done before is not important, and I didn’t ask in detail, the important thing is... He saw a person walking out of that alley yesterday morning. That person was probably The murderer."
"Ah?" Andrew was slightly taken aback, hearing the news seemed to wake him up a little bit: "How do you know that person is the murderer?"
At this moment, the homeless man took the lead: "Because I walked into that alley right away, and then... I saw the dead body!"
Andrew thought for a while, and soon regained his lazy look, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and asked, "Oh? When you saw this scene... what time was it. "
"Let me think about it..." The homeless man recalled: "It's about one o'clock in the morning."
Andrew put down his glass absently..."So that's it, the person who walked out of an alley with dead bodies in the early morning... If you say that, there is indeed a lot of suspicion " But as he spoke, he changed the topic: "But what I'm more concerned about is, why didn't you call the police when you saw the dead body?" He squinted and stared at the other party and asked.
This is indeed worth asking. As I said before, the first person who called the police was the waiter who came out of the bar, and the homeless man found the body much earlier than the waiter.
As for the homeless man... as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time, he replied quickly and naturally: "At that time, I thought more things would be better than less things, so I didn't call the police."
After hearing this, Andrew pointed to Sergeant Pain with his chin: "It seems that you have found your conscience again?"
The tramp nodded, "Yeah, I went back and thought about it. If I just pretended not to see it, it might be more troublesome in the future, so let's make some contributions to this society."
The voice just fell. Sergeant Pahn took over the conversation: "At 7 o'clock this morning, he came to the police station to report the crime. Since I was in charge of the case,... I brought him out." He said in a low voice: " No one knows about it!"
Andrew's eyes lit up slightly: "You mean no one knows that he saw the suspect?...Only I know this clue?"
"Yes...! Only you know, I paid him for it!" The sheriff said seriously: "So if you mess up again this time, you can't blame me !”
Only he knows such an important witness... This is undoubtedly a huge advantage. A murder case is not a trivial matter. I have done a great favor to the police station. Generally, such private investigators with the ability to solve cases will register at the local police station and maintain a long-term cooperation with them. In the future, various cases of various sizes will definitely contact the detective. There will be no less oil and water.
The strange thing is... After Andrew heard what Sergeant Pain said, he didn't speak up right away, but seemed to hesitate before saying... "Uh, okay, I see, let's continue to ask about the case."
As he spoke, he turned his head and cast his gaze at the homeless man. During this period of time, the homeless man obviously didn't care much about the conversation between him and the sheriff, and had been drinking on his own.. ....
"Hi~ Let me tell you." Andrew interrupted the homeless man's "self-indulgent" drinking behavior: "If it's really like what you said, I'm a little curious. At that time... ...why are you still wandering the streets?"
The homeless man pulled out the wine bottle from his throat a little reluctantly: "Hi...I didn't hang around, I just got up to pee."
Andrew nodded: "Then why did you go to that alley after peeing instead of going back to sleep."
The homeless man stared with drunken eyes: "I saw that man panicking~IndoMTL.com~ so I was curious, so I went in and took a look."
After listening to the other party's answer, Andrew thought about it for a while, and felt that it seemed reasonable, so he continued to ask: "Oh... well, now tell me about that person's appearance. , the more detailed the better."
The homeless man should be drunk at this time, and he was a little dizzy, so he shook his head vigorously, and then put on a thoughtful look: "A man, a beige trench coat, not tall, came from the alley He came out in a panic... in his hand, he seemed to be holding something."
"What?" Hearing this, Andrew naturally wanted to ask.
The homeless man frowned vigorously, but he didn't seem to make himself more sober...so he said in a daze: "Ah...to be honest, I didn't see clearly But judging by the appearance of that corpse, it might be a knife."
When Andrew heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, so he didn't continue to ask... "The murder weapon? Is it a knife?" He muttered in a voice that only he could hear, and there was no thought Know what to think. The camera was aimed at his thoughtful eyes, and he quickly zoomed in until they were caught in the pupils, and the picture was pitch black...
