Chapter 34 Cameo

"What's the discovery?"

Small town, ‘John ​​Charlie’ Restaurant.

After a simple cross-examination, Amanda and Robin gathered in the restaurant.

“There are basically not many useful clues.”

Shaking his head, Robin took a bite of the smoked beef in front of him, nodded involuntarily, and continued his investigation report.

"Old Johnson rarely goes to the town. The last time the residents saw him was three days ago. The other party pulled a pile of prey fur and sold it to the grocery merchants in the town, and purchased some essential goods and shotgun bullets in the supermarket..."

Amanda: "Did the deceased usually have conflicts with the residents of the town?"

Robin: "No, Johnson, the old man, has always been alone and has a loner personality, except for a few who have contact with him, and has no deep relationship with anyone."

The report from Robin made Amanda frown.

Among all cases, the deceased with an introverted personality is one of the most difficult objects to deal with.

Because you can't find available clues from objects with limited intersections.

In particular, the clues found in the forest.

Broken shotgun, blonde hair.

Even Amanda is difficult to infer something too useful from the two.

"Besides these, what's more special?"

There is no way to find clues immediately, Amanda can only choose the most time-consuming and laborious old method.

“Not much.”

Recalling the situation he had investigated, Robin thought hard before he realized.

"Except for someone who drove to the town later yesterday, many residents in the town saw it."

"Then start investigating from this point."

Hearing this, Amanda made a quick judgment.

"Do you know where the other party is?"

"He was seen walking into the only hostel in the town."

...

"There are not many ingredients in the refrigerator."

Hostel, kitchen.

The bearded man couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the only few ham, eggs, and slices of bread left in the refrigerator.

“Or he would love eggs with ham.”

In his heart, he distributed the ingredients in the refrigerator according to the number of times. The bearded man nodded and took out the eggs and ham from it without hesitation.

“It’s you for lunch, John Charlie’s hidden menu, eggs with ham.”

"Is anyone here?"

Just as the bearded man was about to show his skills, the sound from the living room of the hotel forced him to stop the movements in his hand.

"The accommodation costs thirty dollars a day, only cash is collected. In addition, no meal service is provided, including breakfast. If you want to eat, the 'John Charlie' at the intersection of the town is an option, provided..."

He proficiently read out the lines, and the bearded man came out of the kitchen, looking at a man and a woman standing in the hostel.

"Texas Patrol."

However, before he could finish his words, the document taken out of his pocket by the woman opposite him made the bearded muttering abruptly stop.

"Okay, sir."

He stopped himself from approaching and asked with some anxiety.

"What are your problems? I'm a regular hostel."

Amanda said with a serious look as she glanced over the tomato sauce on her collar.

"We are investigating a death case that requires your cooperation, sir."

"No problem, sir, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation."

He reached out and wiped his clothes for a while. The bearded man nodded quickly, blinking his eyes and showing as cooperating as possible.

But I ignored that my own style did not have much kindness at all.

Fortunately, Amanda is not a person who judges people by his appearance.

Otherwise, he would directly give the bearded man a suspicious identity.

Her eyes fell on the stairs of the hotel and continued to ask herself.

"What strange things or people have appeared in the hostel these days?"

"Strange things and people?"

Hearing Amanda's question, the bearded man subconsciously repeated it.

He recalled what happened during this period and soon remembered Zhao Yuan, who had just moved in yesterday.

"If you insist on saying that, there is only one customer who checked in yesterday, but since he moved in, he has been in the room and has not come out. There should be no problem."

Upon hearing the bearded man's description, Amanda immediately associated the guest with the object mentioned by Robin.

"I don't know, can you take me to see him?"

Although, it was proved from the bearded man that the other party's absence was proven sufficient.

However, out of caution, Amanda still believes that it is necessary to meet with the other party and may be able to find some different clues.

"this……"

Hearing Amanda's request, a hesitant expression appeared on his bearded man's face, but he finally nodded in agreement.

"All right."

...

“It’s this one.”

At the door of No. 404, the bearded man looked at the closed door and turned his head to look at the two Texas patrolmen, Amanda and Robin, beside him.

Then he took a deep breath and reached out and knocked at the door.

Twist!

"Here you come."

In the room, Zhao Yuan saw everything through the system panel, and adjusted the expression on his face.

Since the script evolved, Zhao Yuan silently watched its operation. With the participation of Amanda, the real Texas Patrolman, although the script still evolved towards the general plot, some subtle parts changed. For example, the plot in front of him was not in the script he originally wrote.

However, for such improvised script performances.

Zhao Yuan did not have much resistance, but on the contrary, he was a little happy.

"This time, what hidden menu have you prepared again."

Opening the door, Zhao Yuan looked at the bearded man with a face and threw out the prepared lines.

When he noticed Amanda and Robin who appeared with the bearded man, the expression on his face immediately became "surprised".

"What are you?"

He looked at Amanda and Robin, then at the bearded man, and asked in confusion.

"Texas Patrolman, sir."

Showing the ID and telling his identity to Zhao Yuan, Amanda looked at Zhao Yuan in the room.

He has basically been eliminated from the list of suspects in his heart. After all, judging from Zhao Yuan's appearance, he is really incompatible with the death of Johnson in the forest.

On the other side, under the appearance of surprise.

Zhao Yuan looked at Amanda in front of him, and his inner feeling was also strange.

This situation of face-to-face contact with the object in the systematic evolution script always gives him a wonderful feeling of presence, as if he is also in the plot of a movie.

This kind of experience is like the situation where directors make guest appearances in their works in TV series and movies.

However, the script he made guest appearances was even more realistic.
