Chapter 35 Identification

"Can you tell me your purpose in the town, sir?"

Although Zhao Yuan has removed him from the list of suspects in his heart, he still has to ask what he should ask.

Amanda looked at the young Asian in front of her and immediately spoke up for an inquiry.

Her eyes fell into the room through the half-closed wooden door, and there was no strange place either.

“In fact, I’m looking for inspiration.”

"inspiration?"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, the patrolman Robin, who was beside him, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

“I’m a screenwriter and director.”

"If you've seen the movie "Blair the Witch", you'll probably know my name."

“Blair the Witch?”

When Amanda heard the name of the movie that appeared in Zhao Yuan's mouth, she couldn't help frowning. She turned her head to look at Robin, with a look of exploration on her face.

Obviously, the patrolman is not familiar with the movies.

When he met Amanda's eyes, Robin quickly turned his head and whispered.

"A horror film that was very popular during this period is also very controversial in terms of publicity methods. It is said that the Maryland Police Department is also under pressure for the film promotion."

A horror movie linked to Maryland police, obviously a bit beyond Amanda's expectations.

However, listening to Robin's description, Amanda basically confirmed that Zhao Yuan and Old Johnson's death had no connection.

After all, there is no connection between a celebrity from Hollywood and a lonely hunter from a small frontier town in Texas.

Even the most basic criminal chain cannot be formed.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, sir."

Looking at Zhao Yuan with a confused look in front of him, Amanda nodded.

"I wish you a happy journey."

"Can you tell me what happened, officer?"

Faced with Amanda's polite reaction, Zhao Yuan immediately asked "curiously".

"A murder occurred in the forest near the town, and a hunter died in the woods."

Old Johnson's death had already spread throughout the town. Even if Amanda didn't say it, I believe that Zhao Yuan would know about it soon, so Amanda didn't cover it up and told him the death case directly.

"That's so unfortunate."

When Zhao Yuan heard about the death in the town, he was as shocked as ordinary people.

"I originally planned to find time to go stroll in the forest."

"Sad, sir, it seems that your plan may have to be changed a little."

Due to the murder case, Amanda did not stay in the hostel for too long. After a brief inquiry, she and Robin left in a hurry and searched the next possible clue.

"Go back and confirm whether what the guests in the hostel said is true."

Of course, Amanda will not let go of any possibility until the case is over.

Including Zhao Yuan, who has basically been excluded from the list of suspects.

“In fact, there is no need to go back and confirm.”

Hearing Amanda's instructions, Robin took out his phone and entered the name of the movie "Blair the Witch".

Looking at the movie poster and the name of the director and screenwriter that pops up on the interface and the link below.

Robin clicked on Alan Zhao's name and handed the photo to Amanda.

"There are information about him online, and it seems that everything Mr. Allen said is true."

“…”

He looked down at the phone screen in front of him, and then looked at Robin's rough face, Amanda's expression was a little inexplicable.

"My girlfriend changed it. It is said to be a new smartphone. Maybe you can try another one, boss."

"Forget it, I'm still used to using simple phones."

Shaking his head, Amanda decisively rejected Robin's suggestion.

She has never had much interest in these fancy things.

...

"Do you have something to do?"

Hostel, doorstep of room 404.

After ending his guest appearance "scene", Zhao Yuan looked at the bearded man who was still standing at the door and was not planning to leave, and couldn't help but signal.

Both of the main leaders have left, why are you, a supporting role, staying here for doing?

"You're really a film director, from Hollywood, I mean, sir?"

Looking at Zhao Yuan in front of him, the expression on the bearded man's face changed his previous attitude and asked enthusiastically.

"I think I've already made this clear when I was just talking to the patrolman."

Zhao Yuan replied, his eyes swept across the scene of Amanda and Robin on the system screen in front of him.

"This is the first time since I opened the hotel, a famous person like you have come to live here. I wonder if I can leave me a signature before leaving?"

Putting most of his attention on the system, and hearing the bearded man's request, Zhao originally wanted to deal with it casually and get it done.

But when he said something, he seemed to have thought of something and reminded him with a change of tone.

"You seem to have forgotten something, boss?"

Hearing Zhao Yuan’s reminder, the bearded man’s expression was stunned for a moment, and he looked down at his empty hands along his gaze. After a while, he realized it.

"I'll go prepare sir right away!"

“Perhaps, you can prepare some dishes outside of the hidden menu.”

Looking at the bearded man's back, Zhao Yuan spoke at the right time to remind him.

The sound from behind made the expression on the bearded man's face collapse. He struggled for a while before he gritted his teeth and responded.

"Of course, sir."

Watching the bearded man jogging away, Zhao Yuan nodded.

The scripts in the system breaking panel evolved to the next plot in an orderly manner.

...

"How is the autopsy report?"

After leaving the next inquiry home, Amanda received a forensic call responsible for posting an autopsy for Johnson.

"There are many skin tissue contusions on the body, and the large number of bones inside the body have obvious fragmentation marks. The internal organs are bleeding on a large scale. The entire body seems to be hit by a small car. However, the most critical fatal injury is the penetrating claw mark on the neck..."

"So, the dead died only by being attacked by wild animals?"

If this is true, then Amanda doesn't need to continue investigating.

"In fact, this is the strangest thing I feel."

On the phone, the forensic doctor's tone revealed obvious doubts.

"If it were merely an attack from a wild beast, the wounds should not be like this. I compared the claws of the beasts, and the shape of the wounds distributed by the dead under the attack of the beasts, which did not match the wounds on the dead. The distribution of this wounds seemed to be..."

"What does it look like?"

"It seems like someone scratched with his finger..."
