Chapter 5 Nobody Knows
If you fart, even if you don’t make a sound, you should always have a little smell.
But what we said, "Andrew's death did not even have a ripples." It really didn't appear at all.
The people in the town are still living normally, and there is no change at all. Ziliang and his group have been wandering around the town for a long time, feeling that they are not here to find clues, but to take a vacation.
Finally, Ziliang and his group wandered to the town police station and found that the police doors here were drinking tea and chatting about leisure. Hey, there was a person who died in your town today. Is your work attitude a little too casual?
Ziliang couldn't stand it anymore. He felt it was time to remind these people, so he walked to a window.
"Uh, hello, I'm Andrew's friend. We made an appointment to meet here today, but I can't contact him anymore. Can you check it for me?" Ziliang asked.
"Andrew?" The policeman glanced at Ziliang: "Which Andrew?"
This town is no longer the small town with only a few hundred people before, so no one knows who the popular name is like "Andrew".
"Uh, I don't know what his full name is," Ziliang replied, "But he is about 180 cm tall. He just went to Emory University this year. Oh, I am a dentist at the school hospital. This time I came to him to tell him about his health problems."
Ziliang relied on the white coat he was wearing and started to pull up nonsense. How could a dentist have traveled more than 200 kilometers to visit his patients at home?
But what surprised him was that the policeman believed it.
Well, maybe the security in this town has always been good, which has led to no safety awareness among the people here. Maybe Ziliang's outfit is indeed like a good person (compared to before). In short, the police actually took the initiative to help him check the list of residents in the town.
Then
"Uh, just went to college? I think you might be wrong." The policeman said: "There are 14 people in our town called Andrew, 6 of whom are women, 6 are old men, and 4 are just elementary school. The 'Andrew' you mentioned does not seem to be from this town."
"What?" Ziliang was stunned.
The policeman saw Ziliang's expression with a surprised expression and thought he was doubting his work ability, so he took the initiative to turn the computer screen over: "If you don't believe me, please read it yourself."
Ziliang looked at the system screen. In the picture, all the names, ages, and photos of Andrew were clearly written on it. Let's not care whether this pig-headed policeman would expose the information of the townspeople. Anyway, Ziliang did not see the Andrew he mentioned.
"Well, maybe I'm wrong." Ziliang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the police station.
Outside the police station, Hannibal and his group were waiting for Ziliang, and Old Joey also rushed over during this period.
"How is it?" Quinn asked.
"Uh, there seems to be something wrong."
"You don't like those policemen, and they killed them all?" Quinn asked with a frown.
"It's bigger than this problem," Ziliang responded: "There is no such person as Andrew in the town."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"What does it mean?" Hannibal asked.
"It's literally. I just pretended to be Andrew's dentist and wanted to remind these policemen that Andrew was dead, but there was no such person in the police station system at all."
"ah?"
"I was a little surprised, but that's how things are now." Ziliang said: "So I speculated on the following possibilities. First, Andrew lied to us, he was not from this town at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hannibal immediately denied: "Impossible. Although I don't have the ability to read other people's memories now, I can still see whether a person is lying. I can guarantee that what he said is the truth."
"Okay, then, the second possibility: something went wrong with the police station system, or the police station people were lying us." Ziliang said: "But the possibility is not high. If you want to lie to us, there are many better ways. After all, Andrew just met us in the morning, and it is a bit too far-fetched to say that there is no such person as Andrew."
"Well, it makes sense, what about the third one?"
"I haven't thought of the third type yet, but we don't have to hurry to draw a conclusion now, because we can go to another place first."
A few hours later, Ziliang and his group arrived at the church on the edge of the town.
This church looks a bit old, but it is not small for this town. It seems that the people in this town are very religious.
"It was Andrew who died in this church?" Ziliang asked.
Hannibal nodded with certainty.
In this way, everyone walked in. Although it looked very big, the architectural style was extremely simple. It was a huge hall. In front of it was a huge mural. Below the mural was the high platform when the priest preached. This design could be seen almost at a glance. On both sides of the platform, there was a small door on one side.
Hannibal pointed to a small door beside him and signaled that Andrew's body had been carried into there.
Since Ziliang's purpose here is very simple, he wanted to find Andrew's body to see if there would be any discoveries. Even if there were no discoveries, he would always ask one, two or three questions to carry out the body and confront the nun and priests here.
So, Ziliang volunteered to talk to the priest, and the rest began to attract the attention of others, and Billy, yes, they also brought Billy, which was always held by Shirley, and a cute little girl holding a wooden doll with a terrifying image, shouldn't be so inconsistent, right?
Anyway, Billy walked into the interior of the church easily.
However, it is surprising that Billy walked all over the church, but no Andrew's body was found. Behind the side door was just a place where some nuns usually rest and cook.
During this period, Ziliang and others asked about "Andrew" in almost inconspicuous ways, and the answers they got were - we don't have the "Andrew" you mentioned at all.
Finally, Hannibal was a little impatient, and he simply stared at a nun and asked, "Don't you know that the child is Andrew? The child who was wrapped, twitching all over and was radiating with hot and high temperatures. A few hours ago, you poured a bucket of water on his body!"
Yes, the nun he was asking about was one of the nuns who watered Andrew, and Hannibal could see clearly from the bird's sight.
However, the nun's answer was that she had no idea what Hannibal was talking about. She had been living in the town next door because of some private matters these days. In fact, she had just rushed back to Princewood Town an hour ago.
