People are in Marvel, and the system is working as a worker

The carousel is over.

"It is simply a miracle of life that there is such a huge world hidden under the earth's crust and that such a unique ecosystem has emerged."

Geralt had read information about the underworld.

It seems now.

Humanity's understanding of the underground world is only superficial.

……

……

After taking a shower and putting on clean clothes, Geralt drove to the Talon restaurant.

I texted Nancy in the morning and her phone was off.

Geralt hits the Claw restaurant.

George tells Geralt that Nancy is fine, but in a strange state.

"Nancy, what's wrong?" After arriving at the restaurant, Geralt found Nancy in the kitchen.

Nancy was in a daze.

"No, it's okay, it's just..." Nancy said.

He raised his head and met Geralt's clear eyes, and he couldn't continue his perfunctory words.

"Sorry," Nancy said.

"You are a smart girl, and I think you also know that there are some things about me that I haven't told you. It has nothing to do with trust, it's just that I don't know how to say it. So don't say sorry. It's just... If you want to say it, I think Be the first listener," Geralt said.

"Young man, you are the Saint of Love." George said angrily: "How many girls have you deceived?"

"No, no," Geralt said modestly.

Really humble.

If he wants to deal with a girl, he has to resort to the legal system. What is the level of those scumbag men who date more than a dozen women of different ages, different professions, different cultures, and different personalities at the same time? !

Nancy turned around and gave George an eye roll and the middle finger.

Rude action.

From Geralt's point of view, he's a bit cute and straightforward.

Maybe it's the filter effect again.

Lovers are like this. When they are good, everything is fine. When they are bad, even their breathing is wrong. At that time, the fate is over, and forcing each other will only hurt each other.

get off work at night.

Geralt picks Nancy up from get off work.

Nancy figured it out and told Geralt that before the family tragedy, she was an amateur detective.

This was no secret. Geralt had heard Nancy mention it herself and others.

——Nancy likes detectives and helping others.

But not everyone supports Nancy's "cause."

The first is the parents.They worried that this "business" would bring danger to Nancy.

As it turns out, their concerns were not unfounded.

Next is the Black Pine Township Police Department.

Nancy is just an amateur detective, and her method of handling the case cannot be described as "standardized", which indeed caused trouble for the official investigation.

The most important thing is that it is Nancy's "eclecticism" that makes her repeatedly break the police's suspicions, making the small town police department appear incompetent.

After her mother passed away, Nancy was in trouble and her detective career came to a complete halt.

When Geralt went to Phoenix, Claire, Nancy's high school alumnus, came to her and told her something.

Eucalyptus takes place in Fairy Tale Town south of Black Pine Town, a town that pays attention to original ecology.

A month ago, an appalling incident occurred in the peaceful town-the cute seven-year-old girl Shirley was killed.

Multiple witnesses witnessed Shirley getting into suspect Thompson's van, which had appeared near the body dump site. Finally, a large number of fingerprints, dander, hair and clothing fibers were detected from Shirley's body.

It stands to reason that since the witnesses and physical evidence are there, is there any suspense about this?

The answer is yes!

The suspect, Thompson, a respected elementary school teacher, insisted he was innocent and provided an alibi.

During the incident, Thompson was in a hotel in Phoenix.

——Hotel surveillance proves this.

Later, Thompson attended an academic conference held in a hotel conference room and gave a speech.

He has more than 100 eyewitnesses.

Thompson had absolutely no sleep time.

The evidence is conflicting.

The investigation ran into trouble.

"Could it be disguise? Silicone mask technology is so advanced now." George asked.

"The DNA extracted from Shirley's body is exactly the same as the DNA extracted from the hotel where Thompson stayed." Nancy shook her head.

"Twins!" Bess's eyes lit up.

Nancy shook her head again and said: "The police did have this idea. But the investigation showed that Thompson was an only child. It was popular in that era for the father to film the entire process of his wife's birth - the video tape at that time is still there, so..."

"It's difficult to come up with the truth based only on verbal descriptions and paper data." Nancy looked at Geralt hopefully, "What do you think?"

Geralt's emotional intelligence is yes, although it is not particularly high, but he also knows that Nancy has already made a decision in her heart, and the reason why she asks is just to get support.

At this time, only when the mother is single can she be serious and reasonable.

Geralt, of course, raised his hands and three feet in support.

And take the opportunity to secure the opportunity to be a full-time driver.

After going home.

Geralt entered the official website and looked up tasks about Fairy Tale Town.

Found a mission related to Shirley's murder.

Someone answered and it showed "in progress".

From a general perspective, Shirley Eucalyptus is indeed full of doubts.

From a supernatural perspective, things become simpler.

——Shapeshifters, mimics... Certain supernatural creatures have the ability to imitate their appearance and DNA.

the next day.

Geralt picks up Nancy in his car and they head to Fairy Tale Town together.

About 10 minutes later, the car passed a wooden bridge and saw the sign "Welcome to Fairy Tale Town".

A man and a woman stood under the sign.

"Stop." Nancy shouted, and as soon as the car stopped, she couldn't wait to run out.

She held hands with the girl under the sign, hugged and danced.

Geralt decided to wait for 5 seconds before getting out of the car.

When the two lonely men finished the battle between the car lights, Geralt just got out of the car.

It can be seen that Nancy's happiness comes from the bottom of her heart.

She pulled Geralt over and said, "This is Geralt."

"Boyfriend?" Claire looked at Geralt with careful eyes.

As a loyal member of the Appearance Association, Claire gave Geralt a high score of 90 out of [-] points.

"Well." Nancy raised her chin, "How is it?"

Claire smiled, "Yes, I deserve you."

"Hello." Geralt greeted with a smile.

"I'm Claire, Nancy's friend and partner." Claire asked, "Nancy never mentioned me."

"Not much to say."

Geralt shook his head, causing Claire to look at his friend with dissatisfaction, and continued: "Beautiful, smart, cheerful and optimistic... Nancy said that you are a better girl than her. I don't believe it, in this world How can a treasure like Nancy exist? Now it seems that if you two want to decide the winner, you are simply making things difficult for the referee."

Geralt's words flattered two girls at once.

Some people may think that the wording is exaggerated and too fake.

However, the reality is that the two girls laughed happily, especially Claire, who threw his head back and laughed with his gums exposed.

"Haha." Nancy hit Geralt on the shoulder with a small fist, "I never said that."

Claire also smiled and said: "If you are glib, your evaluation will be reduced by one."

The boy with Claire was her boyfriend, they were in college together, Simmons from Phoenix.

In Simmons' imagination, country boys all have short-faced hair, dull expressions, and wear old-fashioned, baggy plaid shirts.

Geralt's appearance broke his cognition.

When some people realize that they have made a mistake, they will not reflect on their own mistakes. Instead, they will blame the person who made them aware of their mistakes.

——I am living in a dream, why wake me up? !

Look, someone just hates you for some inexplicable reason.

and so.

There is no use in being kind.

Good guys should also flex their muscles at the right time, and even punch hard when necessary.

Kindness never means not fighting back or not retaliate when scolded, otherwise it would be too pitiful.

Geralt didn't know that he had read Simmons's little book and shook hands with him. He even felt that he was knowledgeable and magnanimous. He had all kinds of allusions at his fingertips, and he was not on the same level as Wenzong Gong.

But Geralt doesn't think there's any difference. Everyone has their own strengths. When it comes to supernatural knowledge and combat, he can defeat a hundred Simons.

Simmons smiled on his face, but became even more angry in his heart - he tried his best, why don't you feel inferior when you see such an excellent me!

Clare and Simmons took the back seat.

"Go to my house first?" Claire asked.

"Forget it." Nancy shook her head gently, "I'll go directly to the scene, what do you think?"

The last person to ask was Geralt.

"It doesn't matter, I support you anyway." Geralt didn't care.

"Okay, I'll show you the way," Claire said. "You've always been like this. Once you get involved in detective work, it's like a different person. Hey, Geralt, you have to adapt."

"Shut up!" Nancy turned her head and rolled her eyes at Claire.

Then asked: "By the way, what do you think of Eucalyptus?"

Speaking of eucalyptus, Claire's smile faded and he said:

"Shelly is an angel and nothing like this should happen to her."

"Witnesses and DNA showed that Thompson was the murderer, but hotel surveillance and witnesses who attended the meeting also proved that Thompson had a definite alibi at the time of the murder."

Nancy asked, "Do you think Thompson is the murderer?"

Claire said: "I have read Thompson's interrogation records, and my intuition tells me that he is not the murderer."

Nancy explained to Geralt: "Claire's intuition is very accurate."

Geralt smiled: "It's like some kind of super power."

Claire said: "That's right, it's a superpower. It only appears on its own occasionally, like a naughty kitten - it makes people love and hate it."

"Thompson will be released beyond a reasonable doubt...Thompson will be released in two days." Claire added distressedly.

"Since you think Thompson is innocent, wouldn't it be a good thing to release him?" Geralt asked.

"Intuition cannot be used as evidence and cannot prove innocence." Claire said: "Shirley's family firmly believes that Thompson is the murderer. When they believe that the law cannot achieve justice, they will seek revenge in their own way."

"If Thompson is really the murderer, I also want to shoot him in the head. But if he is not the murderer, it will be another tragedy."

"So, help me Nancy."

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

Fairy Tale Town was not called Fairy Tale Town before. An entertainment group wanted to build a fairy tale themed town with the national forest as the main body, so the town changed its name.Later, the project was shelved for unknown reasons, and finally came to nothing.

The scene where Shirley's body was dumped was just outside the forest, under a big tree on a path.

People run past this big tree every day.

In other words.

The killer wanted Shirley's body found.

There are just a few reasons for doing this:

Guilty.

ceremony.

provocative.

The road is a dirt road, only one meter wide. Cars can't drive in, and fortunately, they don't want to.

It was a huge banyan tree, with a crown like an upside-down bowl and countless aerial roots hanging down.

There was a police cordon around the area, and there were many flowers, candles, and signs under the trees that read, "May no harm come to heaven."

Nancy walked under the tree, looked down at the ground, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed down.

"Mom, it hurts," Nancy murmured.

Claire clearly knew what Nancy was capable of.

Simmons was startled, "What is she talking about?"

Claire glanced at him, "Shh!"

Signal him not to speak.

Then she looked at Geralt, wanting to see his reaction.

At this moment, a severe pain hit her, like a needle pricking her head, and Nancy pressed her temples.

Hiss~ Nancy felt like the world was spinning and she couldn't stand still.

Fall down.

His back rested on a solid chest.

"Are you okay?" Geralt's voice said.

It was obviously no different from usual, but Nancy felt very warm and powerful.

"It's okay, my head just hurts a little, just take a rest." Nancy said.

At certain times and in certain places, Nancy can empathize with the dead.The deceased is usually full of fear, pain, and unwillingness before death. These negative emotions, together with some pictures, flooded into his head for a short time, and it was strange that Nancy didn't have a headache.

Under the vision, a little girl wearing a white dress stood under the tree, with scratches and bite marks from wild beasts on her chest.

His eyes were confused and he didn't understand death.

She just wanted to leave here and go home, but this tree bound her within the canopy.

Geralt helped Nancy, "Go back to the car first."

He could see that Nancy couldn't control the ability of "empathy". If it happened again, she would probably faint.

Geralt opened the mineral water and gave Nancy a sip.

After a while, Nancy said:

"I saw some pictures..."

"The person who killed Shirley was a humanoid creature with lizard claws and a tail. It was faceless at first, then turned into a Thompson."

"Shirley was scared. Before killing Shirley, the man said, 'She's going to be the trigger.'"

Claire pondered for a long time and did not think about supernatural creatures. She thought this was the visualization of Shirley's fear.

"The trigger?" Claire had no idea.

Geralt said: "I remember you said before that Thompson was about to be released. Shirley's family will definitely do something. The police must know this and must devote police force to protect Thompson. There is a high probability of bloody conflict in the end. What he said Could it be the trigger of this conflict?"

Claire slapped her palm and said, "It's possible."

Nancy said: "The question is, what are the benefits of doing this?"

Geralt spread his hands and said, "I don't know, you're crazy."

Claire sighed: "But these things cannot be used as evidence in court and will not help catch the real culprit."

"Not necessarily," Geralt said.

Claire and Nancy both stared at Geralt.

"Say!" x2.

Don't give Geralt a chance to show off.

Geralt said: "Since the real murderer's purpose is to cause bloody conflict in Fairy Tale Town. If he knows that someone may sabotage his plan, there is no need to find him, he will find him himself."

The two women's eyes were burning.

The question is, how to get the message out naturally and quickly.

Claire patted her chest, "I'll take care of this."

Claire's old father is the chief of the small town police department, with as many as five men under his command.

——This is why Carlisle was able to obtain so many pieces of information.
