"Corey and I will investigate this case seriously, don't worry." Maude comforted the restaurant proprietress.

Back in the car, Maude put the hot dog aside with the sandwich.

The car did not start, and Maude closed her eyes and sorted out the information in her mind.

Before meeting the next person, he needs to integrate all available information as soon as possible. This is related to his life!

In the world of strange stories, everything has a cause and effect.

For him, the main plot seems to be the corpse dismemberment case.

But why would the danger come from his wife and children?

Do they have anything to do with the dismemberment case? Or is there any information that you have ignored?

Maybe it’s not that some information has been ignored, but that there is too little known information!

It's a pity that I can't stay at home for long.

Otherwise, apart from his room, there would definitely be more sources of information in other places at home, such as some drawers and wardrobes!

It's better to go to the police station first. That's where you normally work, and you should be able to get more information.

With this thought in mind, Maud grabbed the steering wheel with both hands.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a child sitting calmly in the rearview mirror!

The child's skin was pale, as if he had been soaked in water for many days.

There are no eyebrows or hair. The two eyeballs are tightly pressed against the eyelids, and the bottom part is entirely white.

At this moment, it was looking at his back, as if it was ready to attack him at any time!

When Maude saw this sudden thing for the first time, her heart suddenly shrank.

But thinking back to the strange rules I added today, I took a deep breath and quickly adjusted my mentality.

[2. You are safe most of the time during the day, but when walking, no matter what happens, don’t look back frequently, and remember to go home on time from get off work. 】

Thinking of this rule, Maude did not look back.

Instead, he lit the car on fire and drove towards the police station as if nothing was wrong.

In a world like this, it is normal even if you turn your head and be confronted by a ghost.

And often, the ghost with the protruding face just wants you to show your panic, thus violating their rules by acting in a panic!

In that case, you are really done.

On the other hand, as long as you are protected by the rules and do not violate anything, you will not be in any danger!

that's all.

When the thick fog in the town gradually dissipated over time, Maud drove the car and stopped in front of the police station.

The police department's recognition is quite high.

Located on the east side of the town is a single-family two-story house.

A few dozen meters away is the busiest commercial street in the town.

It is said to be a commercial street, but in fact, with so few people in a town, this commercial street only sells some simple daily necessities.

However, after going around, from Maud's current perspective, this commercial street is also the busiest place in the town.

When we arrived at the door of the police station, the door wasn't even opened yet.

It seems that Corey hasn't woken up yet.

After touching her body, Maude found a key.

He gets up so early every day to go to work. The key is on him, so it's not surprising that he opens the door.

Thinking like this.

Maud inserted the key into the keyhole.

After twisting it for a while, I found...it couldn't be opened!

This key is not for opening the police station door!

When his eyes fell on the key in his hand, Maud had a new question in his heart.

"Captain, why are you here so early?" From a house not far from the police station, a young man with a Western face walked out while brushing his teeth.

Hearing the other party's voice that had appeared on the intercom before, Maude understood the other party's identity.

Corey.

That is, the other policeman in the town besides him.

Unexpectedly, his home is next to the police station.

"Is it early?" Maud did not say these three words.

When Corey spoke to him through the intercom, it was at 6:30, which meant that he went to work at 6:30. According to normal views, he now arrived at the police station at 7:00, which should be considered a normal or even a bit slow speed.

Why did you say it was early?

"Your hot dog." Maude handed Corey the hot dog she bought at the morning shop.

The hot dogs here are not the kebab hot dogs in the city of his original world.

It is a staple food in the West.

A large hot dog sandwiched between two pieces of bread, stuffed with butter, cheese, vegetables and more.

The portion of one is plenty.

Reaching out to take the hot dog, Corey was obviously a little greedy and brushed his teeth much faster.

"Here, the key." The young man took out the key to open the door and handed it to Maud.

The key is with the other party.

Seeing this, Maude was surprised.

He could only think of where he had left the key to the door at home.

After all, if he leaves for work so early, he must be the first to arrive at the police station and be the first to open the door.

Therefore, it only makes sense that the key is on him.

Looking at Corey's situation, he just got up after seven o'clock.

In addition, if you need to wash up, dress, and tidy up your appearance, the door won't open until at least 7:30 or even later.

Do you have to wait for him to wake up and open the door every day, or go to his house to get the key?

After opening the door of the police station, Maude glanced at the police station while brushing her teeth and returned to Corrie, then walked towards the interior of the police station.

The layout inside the police station is very monotonous.

In addition to the lobby in front of you, there is an office studio next to it.

There are only two simple workstations inside, presumably for the two policemen.

Looking at the thick stack of information files stacked above, Maude quickly sat down in her seat and began to check the information without hesitation.

As a police chief, you must have access to a lot of information.

If you are lucky enough, you might be able to figure everything out and survive!

There was a lot of miscellaneous information on the desk, but Maude didn't have any impatience and read every one of them.

【Theft case】

[A hen from Grandma Sophia’s house disappeared and was suspected to have been dragged away by a predatory wild animal...]

【Dispute cases】

[Burson and Donald Sr. quarreled over a dog, which both said belonged to them. 】

[Questions of the Dismembered Corpse Case]

[The upper body of the body has not been found so far. It is most likely deeper in the mangrove, and a police dog is needed to help find it. 】

Cases big and small.

Many of them have no news and are just a waste of your time.

Such as family disputes.

In the Cleveland family, after their father died, the remaining siblings quarreled over the ownership of the only house in the family.

There are also missing cases.

Shoemaker Joe Huell lost a valuable leather shoe.

Such cases are often accompanied by a lot of case descriptions.

It's all a waste of time.

After looking at it for a while, Maude turned to rummaging in the drawer of her desk.

Trying to find something useful.

As soon as the drawer was opened, a photo appeared in front of the man's eyes.

This is... a photo of a family of three. The child is smiling happily and the two adults are smiling warmly.

It was a photo of himself, his wife and daughter in front of the courtyard!

The photo is obviously yellowed, turn it over and look at it from the back.

A time is shown.

July 23, 1983.

"83 years?" Looking at this key time information, Maude turned to the calendar on the wall next to her.

August 17, 1992.

In other words, this photo was taken nine years ago?

Nine years ago, my child in the photo was that big.

The children in that house...

The appearance and height are exactly the same as in the photo. The only fatal problem is time!

It has been nine years. If his daughter was a normal person, she would have at least entered adolescence or even adulthood!

"So, my daughter is not my relative, my wife is?"
