Chapter 649 The Old Road (7)

Sheriff Jones did not accept Fu Qian's suggestion, but became even more silent for a while.

It was obvious that what he had just experienced had taken a certain hit to his professional confidence.

After leading everyone to exit along the original road, this person did not explain and just let the two cars continue to drive forward.

But after only driving a few hundred meters, he shouted to stop again.

At this moment, where everyone was, there was a fork in the road in front of them.

After Jones thought about it for a while, he directly asked his younger brother to drive the car to the right lane.

In comparison, this road is obviously narrower and looks older than the other side.

Not long after driving forward, a bright yellow car loomed in sight, parked quietly in the middle of the road.

In front of the car, the road seemed to have come to an end, with gravel and soil blocking the way.

"Your wife's car?"

Jones had undoubtedly been paying attention to the reactions of the two people in the back seat. At this time, looking at Harold who sat up suddenly, he asked without surprise.

"Yes, she drove this car out in the morning."

Harold stared outside with a complicated expression.

"Then go down and have a look."

Jones didn't say much and just signaled to get out of the car.

By the time Cartman and the others followed him, he was already standing beside the car in silence.

"There was no one in the car and the window should have been smashed from the outside."

Seeing that he was still reluctant to speak, the police officer decisively stepped forward to share his worries and analyzed the scene in front of him very professionally.

And this guy obviously has two skills.

Standing in front of Fu, you could see that the driver's door of the car was wide open, and the glass above was smashed to pieces.

Judging from the direction of the debris flying, it was indeed done from outside.

But at this moment, not only was there no one in the car, there wasn't even a trace of blood.

While the young police officer was analyzing, his expression became more and more serious.

"Things seem to be a little serious. Mrs. Harold is afraid that she was attacked."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Jones' tone remained unchanged.

…

Although he was not sure why the chief was unhappy, the young police officer hesitated for a moment and then quickly explained the reasons for his judgment.

"What was broken was the side glass. Generally, it was smashed from the outside after the car stopped, with the purpose of opening the door."

"And there's a traffic jam in front of here, so it's easy to imagine that Mrs. Harold took the wrong way and was forced to stop when she got here."

"In this case, someone suddenly appeared and wanted to harm her. She locked the car window, but unexpectedly the other person smashed the glass, opened the car door, and took her away."

"It can also be seen from the car that Mrs. Harrold probably tried to resist, but unfortunately she failed in the end."

The police officer pointed to the messy interior of the car. In addition to broken glass, the glove box had also been opened, and various items including a sun visor were spilled outside.

I don’t know whether Mrs. Harold looked for a weapon to defend herself or whether the murderer turned it over later.

"Sounds reasonable."

Jones sighed slowly and turned to stare at the victim's family.

"Your wife went out today. Did she tell you where she was going?"

"No……"

Harold stood looking at the car, his body even shaking a little.

"She didn't tell me where she was going for a long time."

He said it quite sincerely and didn't look like he was talking nonsense.

This old man’s family status is worrying.

Fu Qian sighed silently beside him.

"good."

Jones didn't seem surprised by this statement, and looked at the volunteers behind him with narrowed eyes.

"Have you seen any strange people on this road since you came yesterday?"

weirdo……

A group of people looked at each other and finally shook their heads.

"You seem to have a different opinion?"

The only one who didn't move, Fu Qian, was quickly locked by Jones again.

"No more. I just feel like things are moving in a good direction. I thought it was some kind of supernatural incident before, but now it looks like at least a normal murder case."

"...Do you think this is a good direction?"

"Of course, dealing with supernatural incidents is much more troublesome, and sometimes it's even completely unreasonable."

What kind of brains do young people today have?

Although he did not continue to answer, Fu Qian clearly saw this sentence in Jones's eyes.

In fact, not only him, Cartman and others were also stunned, as if it was the first day they met him.

However, although he was full of nonsense, I have to say that Fu Qian's posture was extremely contagious, which brought considerable comfort to this strange scene, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

"I'm just joking, actually I just think it's a bit weird."

Seeing the murderous look in Jones's eyes, Fu Qian smiled and waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about what Mrs. Harold came out for. Although this is my first time here, I can see that this road has probably been abandoned for a long time."

"For locals, it's just a matter of taking the wrong road to get here. Isn't this a bit far-fetched?"

"So I wonder, did she drive in and meet the attacker, or did the attack start before that and she was forced to choose this route?"

…

Jones frowned and stared at Fu Qian's face, obviously not expecting that he was really analyzing the situation seriously.

After a long time, he snorted and looked at the silent young police officer on the side.

"What you just said makes sense logically, but if you think about it carefully, there are still a lot of fishy details. At least Mrs. Harold's behavior is indeed not normal."

These words undoubtedly confirmed Fu Qian's judgment.

…

Although the problem was pointed out by an amateur, the young police officer was not a stubborn person. After hearing what the leader said, he gritted his teeth and nodded with a sad look on his face, because the situation suddenly became more complicated and he had a headache.

"Let's go back first."

Jones didn't say anything more and just gave the order to leave while looking at Cartman and his group.

"Although there is currently no way to confirm what happened, there seems to be some uncontrollable dangers here. It may not be very safe for you to live in the mountains."

"Should you consider continuing to live at home?"

…

"It's better not to disturb us. Besides, there are many of us, so it shouldn't be that dangerous if we act together."

Facing Jones's kindness, Cartman and others subconsciously looked at Ray, who after some thought, still rejected his uncle's kindness.

"If it feels really scary, we can just go back early."

Yes, a very reasonable choice and very consistent with the behavior of the protagonists seeking death.

Leave a silent review before paying.

"That's up to you, but remember to say goodbye to your aunt before you leave. She has been looking forward to you for a long time."

When Ray said this, Jones did not continue to insist and chose to respect the fate of others.

After some warnings, he raised his head and looked up the mountain.

"It's still early now. For safety reasons, I'll send you back first."

The next chapter will be a little later
