Chapter 34 Cameo 【Please recommend】

"What did you find?"

Small town, 'John Charlie' restaurant.

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

"Basically there aren't many useful clues."

Shaking his head, Robin took a bite of the pastrami in front of him, nodded involuntarily, and continued his investigation report at the same time.

"Old Johnson seldom goes to the town. The last time the residents saw him was three days ago. He sold a bunch of prey furs to the town's grocery merchants, and purchased some necessities and shotgun bullets in the supermarket... "

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

Robin: "No, Old Johnson has always been a loner and withdrawn. Except for a few people who have contact with him, he has no deep relationship with anyone."

Amanda couldn't help frowning at the report from Robin.

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

Because you can't find usable clues from the intersection objects with limited objects.

Especially, related to those clues found in the forest.

Broken shotgun, blond hair.

Even for Amanda, it is difficult to deduce something too useful from the two.

"Apart from these, what else is special?"

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

"Not much."

Recalling the situation he investigated, Robin thought hard for a while before saying.

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

"Then start the investigation from this point first."

Hearing this, Amanda quickly made a 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 looked at the few sticks of ham, eggs, and slices of bread left in the refrigerator, and couldn't help sighing.

"Or he'll like eggs with ham."

In his heart, he divided 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 up to you for lunch, John Charlie's hidden menu, eggs and ham."

"Is anyone here?"

Just when the bearded man was about to show off his skills, the voice from the living room of the hostel forced him to stop his movements.

"Accommodation costs [-] dollars a day, only cash is accepted. In addition, no meal service is provided, including breakfast. If you want to eat, 'John Charlie' at the corner of the town is an option, provided that..."

After reading the lines proficiently, the bearded man came out of the kitchen and looked at a man and a woman standing in the hostel.

"Texas Patrol."

However, before he could finish his words, the document that the woman across from him took out from his pocket brought the bearded man to an abrupt end.

"Okay, sir."

Stopping his approaching steps, the bearded man asked a little uneasy.

"What's your problem, I'm a regular hostel here."

Looking at the ketchup on the collar of the bearded man, Amanda said with a serious face.

"We are investigating a death and need your cooperation, sir."

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

Reaching out to wipe his clothes, the bearded man nodded hurriedly, blinking his eyes to show a cooperative gesture as much as possible.

However, he neglected that his appearance did not have much kindness at all.

Fortunately, Amanda does not judge people by their appearance.

Otherwise, the bearded man would be directly identified as a suspect.

Her eyes fell on the stairs of the hostel, and she continued her questioning.

"In the past few days, have any strange things or people appeared in the hostel?"

"Strange things and people?"

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

He recalled what happened during this period, and quickly thought of Zhao Yuan who just moved in yesterday.

"If you have to say it, there is only one guest who checked in yesterday, but since he moved in, he has stayed in the room and never came out. There shouldn't be any problem."

Hearing the bearded man's description, Amanda immediately connected this guest with the person Robin mentioned.

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

Although, it was proved from the mouth of the bearded man that the alibi of the other party was sufficient.

But out of prudent considerations, Amanda still thinks it is necessary to meet with the other party, and perhaps find some different clues.

"This one……"

Hearing Amanda's request, a hesitant expression appeared on the face of the bearded man, but he finally nodded and agreed.

"Ok."

……

"It's this one."

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

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

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
"coming."

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

From the beginning of the evolution of the script, Zhao Yuan watched its operation silently. With the participation of Amanda, a real Texas Patrolman, although the script is still evolving towards the general plot, some subtle parts have changed, such as The scene in front of him was not in the script he originally wrote.

However, for this impromptu script performance.

Zhao Yuan didn't have much resistance, on the contrary, he enjoyed it a bit.

"This time, what hidden menu have you prepared?"

Opening the door, Zhao Yuan looked at the bearded face and threw out the lines he had prepared.

Noticing Amanda and Robin who appeared with the beard, the expression on his face immediately became 'surprised'.

"You are?"

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

"Texas Patrol, sir."

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

He has basically excluded him from the list of suspects in his heart. After all, judging from Zhao Yuan's appearance, he really has nothing to do with the death of old Johnson in the forest.

On the other side, under the surprised appearance.

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

This kind of face-to-face contact with the objects in the system evolution script always gave him a wonderful on-the-spot feeling, as if he was also in the plot of a movie.

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

It's just that the script he played in is more realistic.
