Screenwriter Mystery

"What did you find?"

Small town, 'John Charlie' restaurant.

After the simple cross-examination, Amanda and Robin gathered in the dining room.

"Basically there aren't many useful clues."

Shaking his head, Robin took a bite of the smoked beef in front of him and nodded involuntarily, while continuing his investigation report.

"Old Johnson seldom came to the town. The last time the residents saw him was three days ago. The other party pulled a bunch of game skins and sold them to the grocers in the town, and bought some necessities and shotgun bullets in the supermarket... "

Amanda: "Does the deceased usually have conflicts with the residents of the town?"

Robin: "No, old Johnson has always been a loner and has a withdrawn personality. Except for a few who have contact with him, he has no deep relationship with anyone."

The report from Robin made Amanda frown.

In all cases, the withdrawn deceased is one of the most difficult to deal with.

Because you can't find usable clues from the limited intersection of objects.

Especially in connection with those clues found in the forest.

Broken shotgun, blond hair.

Even Amanda, it's hard to infer something too useful from the two.

"Apart from these, what else is special?"

There was no way to find clues right away, and Amanda could only choose the old method that was the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Not much."

After recalling the situation he investigated, Robin thought hard before saying.

"Except late yesterday, someone drove to the town, and many residents in the town saw it."

"Then start investigating from this point."

Hearing this, Amanda made a quick judgment.

"Do you know where the other party is?"

"Someone saw him walking into the only hostel in the town."

……

"There are not many ingredients in the refrigerator."

Hostel, kitchen.

Bearded looked at the few hams, eggs, and slices of bread left in the refrigerator, and couldn't help sighing.

"Or he'll like eggs with ham."

In his heart, he distributed the ingredients in the refrigerator according to the number of times, the bearded nodded, and took out the eggs and ham without hesitation.

"It's up to you for lunch, John Charlie's hidden menu, eggs and ham."

"Is anyone here?"

Just as the bearded man was about to show off his skills, the sound from the living room of the hostel made him have to stop his movements.

"The accommodation fee is 30 dollars a day, only cash is accepted. In addition, there is no meal service, including breakfast. If you want to eat something, 'John Charlie' at the town street is an option, provided that..."

Reciting the lines skillfully, the bearded man emerged from the kitchen and looked at a man and a woman standing in the hostel.

"Texas Patrol."

However, before he could finish what he said, the woman on the opposite side took out the documents from her pocket, and the content of the murmuring in the bearded mouth stopped abruptly.

"Okay, sir."

Stopping his approaching steps, the bearded man asked anxiously.

"What's the problem with you, I'm a regular hostel here."

Glancing at the ketchup on the collar of the bearded man, Amanda said with a serious face.

"We are investigating a death case and need your cooperation, sir."

"No problem, sir, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation."

Reaching out his hand and wiping it on his clothes, the bearded man nodded hurriedly, blinking his eyes to show his cooperation as much as possible.

However, he neglected that his own shape did not have much kindness at all.

Fortunately, Amanda does not judge people by appearances.

Otherwise, the bearded man will be directly identified as a suspect.

Her gaze fell on the stairs of the hotel, and she continued her questioning.

"In the past few days, what strange things or people have appeared in the hostel?"

"Strange things and people?"

Hearing Amanda's question, Beard subconsciously repeated it.

He recalled what happened during this time, and he quickly thought of Zhao Yuan who had just moved in yesterday.

"If you insist, there is only one guest who checked in yesterday, but since he moved in, he has been in the room and never came out, so there should be no problem."

Hearing Bearded's description, Amanda immediately connected the guest with the person Robin mentioned.

"I don't know, can you take me to see him?"

Although, it was proved from the bearded mouth that the other party's alibi was sufficient.

But out of prudence, Amanda still thinks it is necessary to meet with the other party, and maybe she can find some different clues.

"this……"

Hearing Amanda's request, the bearded face showed a hesitant expression, but he finally nodded in agreement.

"Ok."

……

"It's this room."

At the door of No. 404, the bearded man looked at the closed door, and then turned to look at the two Texas State Patrolmen Amanda and Robin beside him.

Then he took a deep breath, reached out and knocked on the door.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!

"coming."

In the room ~www.readwn.com~ seeing everything through the system panel, Zhao Yuan adjusted the expression on his face.

From the beginning of the script's evolution, Zhao Yuan watched its operation silently, and with the participation of Amanda, a real Texas Patrol, although the script is still evolving towards the general plot, some subtle parts have changed, such as The plot in front of him was not in the script he originally wrote.

However, for such an impromptu script performance.

Zhao Yuan didn't have much resistance, on the contrary, he was a little bit happy about it.

"This time, what hidden menu have you prepared?"

Opening the door, Zhao Yuan looked at the bearded face and threw out the prepared lines.

Noticing Amanda and Robin who appeared with the beard, the expression on his face immediately became 'surprised'.

"You are?"

He looked at Amanda and Robin, then at the bearded man, and asked suspiciously.

"Texas Patrol, sir."

She showed her documents and revealed her identity to Zhao Yuan. Amanda looked at Zhao Yuan's appearance in the room.

In his heart, he has basically been excluded from the suspect list. After all, from Zhao Yuan's appearance, it really has nothing to do with the death of old Johnson in the forest.

On the other side, beneath the surprised appearance.

Zhao Yuan looked at Amanda in front of him, and his inner feeling was also strange.

This kind of face-to-face contact with the objects in the system evolution script always gave him a wonderful sense of presence, as if he was also in the middle of a movie scene.

This experience is similar to the situation in which the directors make cameos in their own works in TV dramas and movies.

However, the script in which he guest starred is more real.
