There's something wrong with my chase

However, after seeing the scene there, Kazama gave up the idea of ​​directly using the Clow card to attack and kill Roselian.

...........

On the other side, Catherine has already arrived at the police station.

The police station wasn't too big, but it was enough for a three-person crew including Catherine.

"It's really rare, big sister, you are late today."

In the police station, a fat man three or four years younger than Catherine joked.The other sheriff, an old man with white hair and beard, was lying leisurely on the recliner and reading the newspaper.

"George, you seem to be very free...don't let me go on patrol!"

Catherine scolded the fat man mercilessly, but the fat man just smiled, which seemed to be the daily routine in the police station.

She was not polite to George, but Catherine was much more polite when facing the old policeman.

"Uncle Suowei..."

This policeman is considered a veteran in the department, and is from her father's generation.It stands to reason that the position of Sheriff Catherine should belong to the old Suo Wei, but the old Suo Wei was about to retire at that time, so this position fell on Catherine's head.

As for now, old Suo Wei will retire in two months, and the town is also planning to recruit new young police officers.

After preparing at her station, Catherine was just about to complete today's patrol with George, but the phone at the police station rang.

This made Catherine stop her original plan. After answering the call, she took George and drove to a certain location in a hurry.

The police car pulled up somewhere outside the town.

From the warehouse where the treated round logs are stored in the distance, as well as the sawdust and bark fragments that can be seen everywhere on the ground, it is not difficult to see that this is a logging camp.

This lumber mill is run by the mayor's family, and the Harlan family where the mayor belongs has always been the richest family in the town.

Taking the logging industry in Yorkford Town as an example, the mayor's family accounts for a full [-]%.Many households in the town are migrant workers under the Harun family.

The reason why Catherine rushed here was not because it belonged to the property of the mayor's family, but because a murder case happened here.

When Catherine arrived, the victim's body was already lying in the open space, covered with a blanket.

It is worth mentioning that there is a black bear corpse next to the corpse.

George's attention was directly on the black bear, he sized it up, and took out his phone to take a group photo by the way.

And Catherine talked to the man standing next to the corpse.

The man's name is Link, and he is the second son of the mayor.

"Officer Catherine."

"Mr. Link, you..."

Looking at Link, Catherine showed a surprised expression on her face.

It's August, but Link is covering himself tightly.Wearing a coat that is usually worn in autumn and winter, a hat, and a mask on his face, only a pair of eyes are exposed.

As if knowing what Catherine was surprised, Link said in a hoarse voice:

"It's been a bit cold recently, and I'm afraid of the cold, so that's it."

"lets change a topic."

"Please deal with this matter first."

Catherine nodded, came to the corpse, and gently lifted the white cloth, revealing the bloody appearance inside.

Even Catherine frowned.

"Poor Bob..."

Link also sighed with emotion.

"He is a lumberjack working on my farm. He didn't come home last night. His wife called me. I thought he had gone drinking somewhere."

"But early this morning, several other employees accidentally discovered Bob when they were working."

"Of course, it's just Bob's mutilated body."

"Then..."

Link looked at the black bear next to the corpse.

"I organized people to find this beast around the logging camp."

"Is it around?"

Catherine pondered.

Although there are one or two incidents of wild animals hurting people every year, it is usually because someone went deep into the forest.In areas where humans have been active for a long time like this, generally no wild beasts will actively come out of the deep forest to look for food.

After confirming the details with Link, Catherine roughly judged that this was an ordinary beast wounding a person.

After that, the body was sent to the hospital in the town, and then Bob's family was contacted to deal with the funeral.

"That brother is really miserable..."

George in the passenger seat of the car said with emotion.

"Well, I think we should issue a notice to remind the residents of the town."

"Some guys like to sneak up to the mountains to hunt. But most of them are half-baked, so they can only deal with hares."

George touched his nose, "Why do you feel like you're talking about my group of friends?"

"Am I wrong?" Catherine glanced at George.

"That's right, I'll tell those guys to be quiet recently."

"But then again, poor Bob probably wasn't killed by a bear."

George rubbed his chin and said.

"Oh?"

Catherine couldn't help but lightly stepped on the brakes, slowing down the car.

"What it's like to be killed by a bear, my grandpa told me in detail."

"It's not like that anyway."

"But it was indeed like being attacked by some kind of wild beast. The whole body was torn apart alive. It's even more exaggerated than a bear."

"Is there any beast in the mountains that can make prey like this?" George thought.

"Then wait for the results of the forensic examination. Maybe something can be found out."

Catherine said, pressing the gas pedal back up to speed.

..........

The time comes to evening.

After finishing work, Catherine returned home.

Putting the car back into the garage and walking into the yard, she happened to see a fence across, and the new neighbor next door had just returned home.

The two greeted each other in the yard.

"It's been hard work, ma'am."

"Fortunately."

Catherine nodded.

"Speaking of... Wang, you are going out..."

Catherine notices the hiking outfits that her new neighbors have switched from casual to hiking.At the same time, he looked at his shoes, the edges of which were still stained with mud.

"I wandered in the woods outside the town." Kazama explained with a smile.

Just as I guessed.

Catherine's expression became more serious.

"It's better not to go outside the town recently. There have been several incidents of wild animals hurting people in the town recently. It will be very dangerous for you to walk in the forest area as an outsider."

"Is that so?"

Kazama also showed a look of fear.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Catherine nodded.

"That's it."

"Okay, I see, I will follow your reminder."

"That would be the best."

Catherine was just about to say goodbye to her, but found that the other person's eyes suddenly shifted from her body to behind her.

Catherine subconsciously turned around to look at her own house, but there was nothing there.

Catherine turned her head and was about to ask, but the other party already had a puzzled expression on her face, as if she was puzzled by her sudden turning of the head.

It seems to be my own illusion...

Catherine was a little embarrassed, and after leaving in a hurry, she walked into the house.

After Catherine turned around, she didn't notice that Kazama's gaze was looking at a certain place again, and after staring deeply, he returned to the house.

PS: Thanks to the boss of Soul and Lingxing for the reward.

Take the time to add more these days.

Chapter 140 Six Search

the next day.

The day-to-day routine doesn't seem to change at all.

After making breakfast, Catherine went to her daughter's room.

After knocking on the door lightly, Catherine waited outside the door.

The daughter is very obedient, especially when it comes to not staying in bed, and usually her own knock on the door can wake her up.But this time, she didn't hear the movement of getting up in the house.

Catherine opened the door directly and walked in. In the cozy pink room, Ximena was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Catherine looked up at the window opposite, and frowned slightly.The window was pushed open, and the breeze came in through the window, blowing the light white gauze curtains.
