When they came, there were three people and three horses. When they left, they not only had two more companions, but also five more sets of "trophies" including people and horses, forming a long string. Reverend Hake seemed quite satisfied with the results of this trip. So on the way back, Pastor Hake was excited about his first experience of participating in the arrest of criminals: "Wayne, it turns out being a sheriff is so much fun. Not only can you arrest criminals in front of everyone, enjoy the cheers and excitement, but you can also compete with them in wits and courage. You arrested so many people in a short time without even firing a gun." But human sorrows and joys are not shared, Wayne only feels it is noisy. Mainly because I was bumping around on horseback all day and didn’t sleep all night, so I felt a little sleepy. So Wayne decided to pass on the pressure and told Pastor Huck about his investigation over the past few days. Those who were previously suspected were those who attended the dinner at the mayor's house. Now Wayne has ruled out most of the people. Among the people living in the town, the only one who has not been screened is Dr. John, who has not returned from a patient visit. Then came the investigation of the territories of the three major landowners.
It is now known that plague had occurred on Mr. Stern's plantation, and the bodies of the slaves are still missing. In Mrs. Taylor's mine, there seemed to have been several small-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases, and it was suspected that someone was deliberately spreading the disease, and the specific methods and motives were unclear. Wayne happily passed the buck, "Reverend Hake, it is the sheriff's primary responsibility to ensure the safety of the town. Now that criminals are planning to attack the town, I need to focus my main energy on dealing with them first. As for the follow-up investigation, until the crisis is resolved, it will be up to you, Reverend Hake, to follow up." After hearing this, the joy on Pastor Hake's face disappeared immediately. Then he paused for a moment, then rode his horse closer again: "Wayne, I already have an idea for the follow-up investigation. But I still want to hear your advice." Wayne said without hesitation, "Should we continue to try them one by one with holy water? I have asked the mayor to invite the three landlords to my house separately. Then Pastor Hake can continue to investigate in the town. It should be safe. As for Dr. John, we can try him when we see him in the town." Pastor Hake looked as if he had suddenly realized something. “Hahaha, I thought so too.” … Back in town, Pastor Huck helped tell the mayor that "the criminals are indeed going to attack", while Wayne went directly to the police station with a group of people. The police station in Blackrock Town is a wooden house. To put it bluntly, the walls are not even as strong as the doors. So if you want to lock someone up, you have to put them in a big iron cage in the prison. In the police station, there were only two single cells with large iron cages, one of which already contained someone. So Wayne thought about it, and after searching the personal belongings, he threw all the five people, three of whom were unconscious and two of whom were awake, into another cage. After all, we were able to catch these few people thanks to the information provided by the previous criminal, who rewarded him by allowing him to continue living in the single room. In the five-person bunk bed next to them, the two sober criminals quickly realized who the leaker was, and the prison suddenly became lively. Anyway, they were separated by a big iron cage and could only talk nonsense to each other, so Wayne ignored them. According to the wanted warrant, the police station's reserve funds were used to cash out $180 in bills to Lina - $170 of which was the worth of the three wanted criminals Lina had caught alone, and the remaining $10 was because one of the two unexpected surprises who were caught at the end was also a wanted criminal, worth $40, so whoever saw it would get a share. Um,
The puppet and the spider have no right to share the spoils. Even if Lina strongly requested it, it would not work. Then Wayne prepared the documents for reimbursement of the reward and handing over the criminal, took them to the town hall, and went home to catch up on some sleep. Lina also followed Wayne back home. Lina didn't have much luggage, just a backpack and a black wooden box that looked quite exquisite. After choosing a guest bedroom next to Inissa, Lina took Inissa with her and went out to shop. Only the puppet Parker was left alone, silently moving the luggage into Lina's room. Wayne was a little curious about the working principle of this puppet. He originally wanted to talk to him, wanting to try whether it was a puppet directly controlled by Lina, or an extraordinary life with independent consciousness. Unfortunately, before Wayne could say anything, Parker had already finished moving the things and sat on the black wooden box. Then its legs went limp, its neck tilted, and it collapsed against the wall. It was like there was a real dead body lying there. (_) Wayne felt that the scene was a bit unsightly, so he found a piece of white cloth to cover it. Then he realized that it looked even more terrifying... Okay. Wayne finally closed the door of the room. Choose out of sight, out of mind. … John Jones didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly. Under the guise of seeing patients, he secretly passed false information to the gang members through secret channels over the past few days. He had just returned to town and was about to take a side road to visit his clinic. Then, by chance, he heard someone mention his name. "Dr. John's clinic? Just keep going along this road, turn right when you see the intersection, and then keep going along the road and you will see it." He secretly looked towards the main road from the alley and saw that it was an old neighbor of his standing outside the alley and talking. It seemed that there was a foreigner asking him about the location of his clinic. Before John Jones could relax his guard, he knew who was asking for directions. My old neighbor bowed his head slightly to the person asking for directions, making the gesture of "accepting blessings" that believers of the Holy Spirit do, and then said to the other person, "You're welcome, Pastor Hake." Reverend Hake?!
That cunning hound had locked onto me so quickly?! It's impossible? John Jones could not help but slow down his pace and quietly walked forward along the wall, trying to eavesdrop on why the other party was looking for him. But the actual development was beyond his expectations. Because he soon saw the spherical bottle in Pastor Hake's hand - this is the container commonly used by the clergy of the Holy Spirit Church to store holy water. Pastor Hake chatted with his old neighbor: "Thank you for your concern. I am not sick. I just want to make up for the blessing for Dr. John. He missed our sermon yesterday because he was on a medical visit." I see, This cunning guy actually completed the investigation of everyone in the town so quickly. I was unable to escape his investigation and now I'm afraid I've become his main suspect. Pastor Hake's voice continued to be heard: "By the way, there will be criminals trying to rob the town in the next few days. The mayor will issue a formal notice later today. Please be sure to pay attention to safety. "...Of course, you don't have to worry too much. This morning, we have arrested several of the criminals. Their actions have been completely exposed, and we even know the identity of the mastermind." When John Jones heard this, his pupils shrank instantly. Unexpectedly, Pastor Hake even knew that he had secretly released false information to attract gangsters to rob. And we also know the identity of the "mastermind"... No wonder he was not wearing a priest's robe at this time, but a black cowboy suit and carrying a gun. This probably means that his guilt has been confirmed and they have decided to arrest him. hateful. The plan that God's messenger has been planning for more than ten years is about to come to an end, and a great harvest is about to come. However, at this time, his identity was discovered by the pastor of the church. John Jones clenched his fists, turned around and left without hesitation, intending to go home immediately to pack his things and then sneak out of the town. Reverend Hake, I will remember your insidiousness and cunningness.
