Xie Lun is very familiar with Community No. 27. After all, he lived here before going to school. Like most high-end communities in the United States, the residents who can live here are either rich or noble, either lawyers or doctors, or, like the Jameses, they work in high-level government positions.
In such a community, criminal offenses are naturally rare. According to Xie Lun, except for the occasional police visit due to misunderstandings or domestic violence, there have been no cases of petty theft in the entire community.
But who would have thought that a model community like this might also be hiding ulterior secrets
Perhaps it was for psychological reasons. After Xie Lun drove into the community, he looked around at the community that was no different from before, but for some reason, he felt something was abnormal.
Not long after Xie Lun entered the community, a siren suddenly sounded, and a police car chased him from behind, flashing its lights and signaling Xie Lun to pull over.
Xie Lun frowned and slowly parked the sports car on the side of the road. Soon two police officers got out of the police car at the rear, and a muscular male police officer walked over cautiously, holding a gun on his waist.
Another female police officer stayed beside the police car, holding a walkie-talkie and talking constantly.
"Sir, stop the car and turn off the engine, please give your driver's license..."
Before the police officer could finish speaking, Sherron directly showed his NIA ID.
"Shellen?"
After seeing the name and photo on the ID, the male police officer's expression changed and he quickly saluted Xie Lun: "Sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you."
"It's okay," Xie Lun smiled and asked casually, "What's wrong? Did something happen here? You all seem a little nervous?"
The male police officer hesitated for a moment, leaned down and whispered: "Last night, a girl was brutally murdered in the bathtub of her home. This is the first time such a serious and vicious homicide has occurred in this community, so we have stepped up patrols and troubleshooting.”
"What?" Sherron frowned, "Where is the crime scene?"
"Oh, turn left at the second intersection ahead, Villa CB13, Laiwu Ke's house."
Sherron tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, and the sports car immediately sounded a piercing siren, and the front bumper began flashing police lights back and forth.
Watching the red sports car go away, the male police officer walked back to the police car with a serious face, took the walkie-talkie from his companion, and said in a deep voice: "Boss, you are right, that detective is here?"
"Where did he go?"
“Where else can we go, of course it’s the Laiwuko family.”
"Okay, let the brothers keep an eye on him and report any abnormalities as soon as possible."
The Sheriff put down the walkie-talkie, turned around, and said with an ugly expression: "We must hurry up, because Hollis, the one from your family is here."
It looked like it was someone's living room, except it was filled with people, and Hollis was among them.
Hearing the Sheriff's words, everyone looked at Hollis. Hollis covered her forehead feebly and whispered: "I think you all know that my precious nephew's ability, no matter how weird it is, is so far." All cases will be solved as long as they fall into his hands."
She put down her hands and looked at the others: "So please come to a consensus as soon as possible. Do you want to tell Xie Lun the truth about this matter?"
"No!" A middle-aged man said urgently, "Don't forget, we once swore an oath back then that we would never tell anyone else about that incident except those here, otherwise..."
His face turned pale, and his tone of voice dropped a bit: "Otherwise, the thing we finally eliminated will come back again."
"Damn it, Pork, look around." An elderly black man with thinning hair said angrily, "That thing has obviously come back. Our children are all having nightmares, and Lewko's daughter … He was brutally killed by it.”
"You can't make a decision so quickly," the middle-aged man named Bo Ke said loudly, "The girl just had five cuts on her stomach. What does this mean? Maybe... It was just that some gangsters broke into the house and robbed her. I bumped into him, and I had no choice but to kill him and silence him."
"Impossible," the gray-haired police chief said coldly, "I have inspected the scene. The bathroom was locked, and there were no signs of intrusion in the entire villa. And when something happened to Laiwuko's daughter, Laiwuko Both Lewko and his wife were at home and never heard any abnormal noise. Mrs. Lewko felt that her daughter took too long in the bath, so she went to check and found that her daughter had died tragically in the bathtub."
Pork opened his mouth, looked at the sergeant's calm expression, sat back in his seat weakly, held his head in his hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Oh my God, my daughter will be an adult soon, why..."
"Adulthood may not be safe," Hollis said. "So far, the children we know who started having nightmares happened to be the first batch of adults after that incident."
"But Laiwu Ke's daughter is not." The police chief responded, "She is only sixteen years old. I saw her the day before yesterday and she saluted me."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he punched the wall hard.
"It appears that all children are no longer safe."
The elderly black man sighed.
"Not necessarily." A middle-aged woman raised her hand and said, "Having nightmares is just a side effect of the ritual. In fact, there is no real threat to the child's life safety. As for Laiwuko's daughter, maybe because The Levkos let the news slip, and there was retribution.”
"impossible."
Others immediately retorted: "The Lavko couple are just such a precious daughter. Ever since that incident, they have wanted to be locked up at home every day and not allowed to go out for fear of something happening. How could they tell that incident? No Possible, absolutely impossible.”
Seeing that everyone was against her, the middle-aged woman shrank her neck and whispered: "I was just making a guess."
"I think if we continue the discussion, nothing will come of it." Hollis said solemnly, "Let's just vote with a show of hands. The minority obeys the majority. If you agree to tell Xie Lun about this, please raise your hands. !”
Except for Hollis who raised her hand, only a few people raised their hands.
Hollis said in frustration: "Then the rest of them don't agree to tell Xie Lun about this matter? Then what do you think we should do about this matter? Can't we just sit here and waste it?"
At this time, the police chief stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "If you don't agree to tell Detective Sherren about this, please raise your hands."
As a result, the number of people who raised their hands was still in twos and threes.
Most people just have a gloomy look on their face and don't express anything.
The elderly black man sighed and said, "Let me say one thing. We will not tell Detective Sherron the truth, but we will not stop him from continuing to investigate this matter. Those who want to do so, Please raise your hand."
Everyone looked at each other and slowly raised their hands.
Looking at the densely packed arms, Hollis and the Sheriff didn’t even need to count them.
The black man looked at Hollis and frowned: "Don't be angry, Hollis, everyone is just afraid. They all want to protect their children, but it is too risky to tell Detective Sherron the truth." High, so everyone can only hope that your nephew is really as powerful as the legend says."
"Don't worry, I understand you." Hollis nodded, "To be honest, I put all my hope in Sherron now."
