Chapter 48 Angry Parents
"It came back?"

Who is this "it" referring to?
The people present didn't know why, and they looked at Sergeant Badman suspiciously.

However, the black sheriff obviously didn't mean to explain to them, but said: "You rest here first, and I will contact your parents."

"Kwin!"

The sheriff called to Kewen O'Connor, "You go and call Eli, and then you two go to... Sean Larkin and Mick Henry's house to see if they come home, if they come home and bring them both with their parents."

O'Connor agreed to come down and went out immediately.

Badman went to make a phone call and told Wilbo and the three to rest here first.

Chi Heng didn't want to leave either. After drinking this cup of coffee, he went to the police station and sat down by the window. The three of Wilbo were still asleep, lying on the sofa drowsy.

Until a roar: "Wilbo!"

He shivered and stood up abruptly.

Chi Heng looked back and saw a middle-aged man in a plaid suit strode into the police station, followed by a woman with a worried expression on his face.

"Father."

The rebellious Wilbo seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and when he saw his father, he was so afraid that his hands were restrained.

"What the hell did you do?"

This middle-aged man was Wilbo's father, Mayor Martinez. He took a step forward and slapped Wilbo.

The slap was a bit heavy, and Wilbo's cheeks were red and swollen visible to the naked eye.

Badman watched coldly, and waited for Mayor Martinez to slap his son before stepping forward: "Derwent, calm down."

After all, there are so many outsiders here, Martinez slapped his son, and felt a little regretful. Hearing this, he let go: "Yes, Eric, I was impulsive."

The woman next to him should be Wilbo's mother, she stepped forward to hug her son in distress, and walked over to comfort him in a low voice.

"What exactly is going on?"

Martinez frowned tightly. His son and his companion skipped class to go camping, and one of his companions died. Such a big event could easily involve him.

Badman was not in a hurry: "I'll explain it in detail when other people come."

The second parent who came was David's father, Elchi Moore, a carpenter. He was also the carpenter that Badman brought to drink with Chi Heng at the Witch Hunt Carnival. His drinking capacity was quite astonishing.

As soon as he walked in, he nodded to Badman, and walked towards his son. He didn't scold him, it was okay, he just hugged his son. He knew very well that his son's character was not a troublemaker.

The third parent who came was not Sarah's father, and Badman didn't get in touch with her father. Sarah said it didn't matter. Her father was probably still drunk, so it was normal that he couldn't be contacted.

It was Sean Larkin, Mick Henry's parents, and the two of them.

When Sean and Mick walked into the police station, as soon as they saw Wilbo, they couldn't help lowering their heads, not daring to look directly into each other's hateful eyes.

Their parents quarreled when they came in, and even had a dispute with the mayor of Martinez, thinking that Martinez's son, Wilbur, had brought their children badly, and said that they would never do it next time. Another vote for Martinez.

Martinez did not show any weakness, saying that his approval rate is obvious to all, and your lack of support will not prevent him from continuing to be elected as the next mayor.

During the constant quarrel between the two sides, the parents of the deceased Frederick Church finally arrived.

As soon as he came in, Frederick's father, Kevin Church, wanted to do something to Wilbur, but was stopped by Badman and the two policemen who rushed over. His temper was even more violent than that of Sean and Mick's parents.

That's right, after all, his son died.

"Martinez, I will not let you live! Your son killed my son!"

Kevin Church kept roaring, and his voice resounded throughout the police station.

"If you dare to do anything to my son, I swear, I will let you serve your sentence in prison!"

Martinez yelled back.

"Calm down! Everyone, calm down!"

Veteran cop Eli Moore and rookie cop Kewen O'Connor tried hard to persuade everyone, but no one cared about them.

It wasn't until a gunshot stopped the whole quarrel.

He changed to a blank ammunition and fired without haste. In stark contrast to the quarrels and quarrels of the people present, he said in a very calm tone: "Stop quarreling, gentlemen and ladies, your quarrel It is not helpful to solve the problem, it will only make the problem more complicated, find a place to sit down, please stand if there is no place, then listen to me... Then those who have shortcomings, Wilbo, Sarah, and Da Vader, it's up to the three of you to explain."

In fact, the parents present did not know the cause of the incident. They only knew that Wilbur led five children to skip class and go camping together, and then Frederick was murdered.

At this moment, listening to the black sheriff Budman's narration, they knew the cause and process of the incident. When they heard that their children were going camping on Lake Shea, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions. After hearing the appearance of a bandage freak, kill them When Frederick died, they couldn't help being surprised, with panic in their expressions.

"Bandage freak, the bandage freak?"

Sean Larkin's father, Will Larkin, muttered: "Is it Kenneth? But how is that possible?"

"It's just a rumor."

Mick Henry's father, Ben Henry, quickly calmed down: "I never believed such rumors."

The children looked at them suspiciously, not knowing what legend this was.

This time, Badman explained to the children, and perhaps reminded the parents of this legend.

"Lake Shay has always been rumored to be haunted, because many children have drowned in history, but why do children always run over and drown? Because it was not until our last generation that the legend of Lake Shea being haunted was confirmed."

Badman glanced at the children, and finally glanced imperceptibly at Chi Heng, who was listening quietly by the window.

"That's right, the rumor that Lake Shea is haunted was born in our previous generation. Before that, although children were often drowned in Lake Shea, the adults in the past just attributed it to misfortune... until our parents. "

Badman closed his eyes, as if remembering, and opened them slowly: "There was a kid named Kenneth who was bullied since he was a child, and once in the process of bullying him, the kids who bullied him accidentally let the house A fire broke out, and the other children escaped quickly except Kenneth. When the adults found out, Kenneth was severely burned. Fortunately, Kenneth still survived tenaciously, but he became a loner' freak covered in bandages ', he was bullied more seriously. During the last bullying process, those evil people deliberately pushed him into Lake Shea. Unexpectedly, Kenneth couldn't swim, and the bandages wrapped around him were soaked in water and he died. shackles."
