Chapter 70 Suspicions
“He is lying.”
After a brief inquiry about the deceased's parents, he walked out of the funeral church.
The agent turned his head and glanced at the sad Michael family in the church, and then whispered.
"The mother of the deceased obviously knew something, but she was stopped."
During Amanda's questioning, Agent Zhou's eyes were always on Duncan's mother. He noticed that when the word "nightmare" came out, the other party's reaction was obviously a bit strange, and it was obvious that he should know something.
"There is also the priest named Molin. The relationship between the deceased family and him is definitely not as simple as the town sheriff said. Whether it is Michael or his wife, when asking questions, they will always subconsciously look towards the priest, as if they are confirming what they are afraid of?"
"Or the contrary, they need the comfort of the priests and don't be afraid of something."
“Or, both.”
Amanda and Agent Zhou seemed to have some differences in their views on the Michaels family, but there was one thing they agreed with each other.
That is, the parents of the deceased are indeed secretly hiding something.
"So, is it another case related to a supernatural incident?"
"Maybe……"
Frowning, Amanda said in an uncertain tone.
In the video, there are certainly strange things in the death of the boy Duncan, but this alone cannot confirm whether all this is really related to supernatural powers.
After all, in America, there are countless strange deaths, and no one can guarantee whether this is a supernatural factor or a simple suicide.
...
"Okay, two police officers, it seems like this is a normal suicide."
“There’s nothing to investigate.”
A few steps later, come out of the church.
The sheriff held the belt around his waist and then looked at the two of them and said.
"You seem to want us to close the case?"
Looking at the town sheriff in front of him, Agent Zhou spoke and said with a cold face.
"I don't, police officer."
Faced with the questioning of Agent Zhou, the town sheriff subconsciously wandered for a moment, and then spoke to explain.
"From now on, the FBI takes over this suicide case, and I need you to cooperate with my investigation, rather than continue to question it."
“…”
Faced with the aggressive attitude of agent Zhou, the town sheriff's expression became a little ugly
He was silent for a while, and finally nodded and answered.
"As for orders, sir."
"I accompany the family of the deceased to the suicide scene to investigate whether there are any useful clues in the notebook. The investigation work in the town will be left to you to deal with."
He glanced at the town sheriff in front of him with a expressionless face. Only then did the Agent Zhou withdraw his oppressive gaze and turned his head to say to Amanda beside him.
"In fact, Agent Zhou has always been like this, treating everything, well, unkind..."
His eyes were taken back along the back of Agent Zhou leaving. Amanda looked at the town sheriff in front of him and comforted him a few words.
"So, if he said something that makes you uncomfortable, I can only be sorry for it, Sheriff, I hope you don't care too much about it."
"It's okay, sir."
Hearing Amanda's comfort, the expression on the town sheriff's face eased a little.
He glanced at the direction of the church in the town, and then spoke and reminded him.
"The residents of Chunmu Town are always not very friendly to outsiders, so if you want to investigate some problems, you need a little more patience."
"So, next, sir, do you have any directions or clear goals you want to investigate?"
"Who do Duncan have in the town?"
Recalling the words "we" that the boy Duncan mentioned before his death, Amanda gave his answer after a moment of thinking.
"friend?"
Hearing Amanda's inquiry, the town sheriff's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly gave his own answer.
"If I talk about my friends, I know that Nancy's children had played with him and had a good relationship, but it was strange that, since that's the case, why didn't they come to the funeral of this child..."
In front of the town sheriff, Amanda lowered her head slightly to cover up the faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Good policeman bad policeman, old-fashioned but effective strategies.
...
"I heard that you and Duncan are friends?"
Chunmu Town, Yushu Street.
Amanda meets Nancy, one of the friends of the deceased Duncan.
A girl with short blond hair.
"Chunmu Town is just a very small town. We were born in the town and are similar in age, so we naturally got together."
Facing Amanda, Nancy's expression was a little restrained.
"Since that's the case, do you know who Duncan has had a conflict with recently?"
"No."
Shaking his head, Cassie looked up and glanced at Amanda's direction, then lowered her head and replied in a low voice.
"We have always had a good relationship, and Duncan doesn't like to have conflicts with people. In fact, he often likes to be alone."
"So that's the case, why don't you go to Duncan's funeral and send him his last journey?"
Hearing Amanda's inquiry, Cassie looked at her direction unconsciously, and then whispered: "In fact, many people are unwilling to accept the news of Duncan's suicide, and are unwilling to go to the church to see him for the last time, afraid..."
"I'm sorry, Cassie, but Duncan is really dead, I just came back from his funeral, you guys have to accept that."
Hearing this, the town sheriff standing behind Amanda suddenly spoke and comforted the girl Kassie in front of him.
“…”
Facing the comfort of the town sheriff, Cassie looked up again at Amanda's position and lowered her head, with a sad look on her face.
Opposite, Amanda couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she noticed the girl's frequent head-up.
She originally thought that the reason why the girl expressed so restrained was because of her relationship.
However, it seems that it is not for this reason.
If it wasn't for her, then?
Thinking of this, Amanda turned his head and looked at the town sheriff standing behind him.
A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke.
"Sheriff, I don't know if you can go out for the moment."
With Amanda's order in front of him, the expression on the town sheriff's face was a little hesitant. He looked down at Kassie and Amanda in front of him.
"As for orders, sir."
Then he nodded, held the belt around his waist, and walked out of the room with some unwillingness.
