[Comprehensive British and American] Adventures of the Master

Stephen leaned on the sofa in William's living room, concentrating on a book.

There are a few brand new books stacked beside him.

This is the complete set of Lord of the Rings books that he just bought from the bookstore yesterday.

William couldn't tell where he had read these books, so he simply bought a bunch of original works and brought them back.But he did understand the story that happened in the book, and the details were slightly changed, but it was almost the same.

What Stephen had in his hand was the "The Hobbit", in which the dragon named Smaug appeared.

The story is not long, and soon because of the dwarf's coming, he angered the human beings, went to destroy the human village, and was shot to death by the human with a black sword.

Stephen finished reading the book, closed the book and thought quietly.Smaug is still alive, and the dwarves don't seem to have come yet.Why is its past, present and future all written in one book, and it's not the main character?

Who the hell saw all this and recorded it?The author of the book?

There are a few short lines on the title page, briefly introducing the author's life.Been dead for many years.Stephen carefully read the preface written by the author.

The author was just an ordinary professor of English literature at the beginning.In the beginning, it was just a father's long bedtime story for his two children.Until one day in the future, when he was sitting in the office boringly correcting his homework, he suddenly had a sudden inspiration, and wrote the beginning of the story in the blank space of a paper, "In the underground cave dwells a hobbit... .”

A warm creative process, with traces to follow. After a long revision, it was finally shaped and published. After the remaining decades, masterpieces such as The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings were written one after another...

If all this is just the fantasy of someone who loves Middle-earth, then dreaming about all this talking to characters would be understandable.But Stephen had never heard the story, let alone read it.Moreover, the supreme mage Stephen thought he was well-read, but he didn't have the slightest image of the writer Tolkien and his books.

It's all so abnormal.

William also said that he had definitely watched the Lord of the Rings series of movies. Stephen searched online and found that the Lord of the Rings series had indeed been filmed, but The Hobbit did not have any plans for a remake.

Is there any connection between this?

That world is five or sixty years away, will the exact same story as in the book or in the movie really happen?

Also, what was the reason why I descended on the dragon Smaug?What is the reason for William to go to that world?

There are simply too many questions to answer.Stephen cleared his mind and decided to settle the current matter first.

Find the culprit who brought William to this world through the void, the spellbook.

It is a good choice to visit the police archives at night.

"New case." JJ hurried into the office, holding several portfolios.

"What is it this time?" Morgan followed JJ into the conference room.

"Suspected cult sacrifice incident. There are a lot of traces of religious rituals at the crime scene." JJ distributed several file bags to the team members who walked into the conference room one after another. "At least three people are dead. One of them is a child."

Reid opened the portfolio in his hand and found two resumes. He flipped through quickly, "Two police officers' files...they have both left their jobs for almost ten years, and they once cracked a huge cult kidnapping The population case? What do they have to do with the case?"

JJ turned on the screen, and a powerful photo appeared on the LCD screen.In the center of the photo, a naked woman is hung in the air by her wrists tied with a rope.

"Last week, local police in Louisiana received a report that a body had been found in a tributary of Lake Charles. It didn't take long for the police to discover that there was a connection between the case and the case picked up 17 years ago. At that time Due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the subsequent flood, the police archives over the years were basically destroyed in that flood. The police had no way to find more useful clues, so they could only find Talk to the two state troopers working on the case."

After JJ finished speaking, he pressed the remote control and released the next photo.It was an enlarged close-up of a part of the victim's skin, with a black thread roughly drawn on it.

"The police also found this sign on the two victims and the suspect."

Morgan raised his eyebrows and looked at his file bag, "Here is the file of the criminal suspect... The two were shot dead by the police on the spot during the resistance in the criminal den? They died 17 years ago?" Morgan flipped through That thin file, "This information is really too little"

JJ spread his hands, "The police compiled the statements of the two police officers and sent us the videotape of the interrogation." Reid took the file and quickly flipped through it. "We can watch the tapes on the plane."

"The process of handling the case back then is also gone?" Hodge asked JJ, who nodded.

JJ continued to introduce the case, "Two weeks later, the local police received another report. This time it was a young woman and a little boy. After the incident, the investigation found the identity of the little boy in the missing persons system. One month later, he was at the scene of the crime. He was reported missing in a small town 60 miles away, and the local police organized several searches in the local mountainous area to report it as a missing person."

"The local police are suspecting the policeman named Rust." Reid quickly read the transcript, "Some questions are too sharp. There are no witnesses at the scene of the killing to confirm the two of them. Ruster left after resigning. No one knows where he went, and he didn't return to that area until two years ago." Reid looked at everyone: "Then the case that was confirmed to be closed many years ago happened again."

"Pack up your things, we'll see the rest on the plane." Hodge agreed.

Rhett watched the tape intently, and Rossi sat beside him with his legs crossed.

"Missing women and children." Morgan said, leaning back in his chair, listening to the tape, "If the suspects hadn't been caught, or not all of them were caught, there must have been many victims over the years. After Hurricane Katrina in 2004, a lot of people went missing in that area."

"There is no doubt that there have always been people in the police force who have been responsible for handling these disappearance cases." Hodge pinched his brows, "But these two police officers shot dead both suspects at the scene of the crime, and the dead did not have a confession."

Reid quickly went on to say: "That is to say, these two policemen deliberately shot and killed the suspect on the spot? It seems that the local police are very suspicious of this police officer named Rust." Reid took the statement and quickly flipped through it, "A While fleeing, one suspect tripped over a fuse they had set for a landmine and was killed on the spot. Another suspect took a semi-automatic gun in the yard and shot at the police hiding in the woods. The police had to shoot back in self-defense , and finally killed the suspect."

"Finally, two dying little boys and girls were rescued from the scene. The boy had no vital signs and could not be rescued. The girl was saved and sent to a welfare institution." Reed concluded.

"But it seems that there is something extra here." JJ held Marty's statement in his hand, "They said that they stumbled upon another case several years later, a female corpse that was fished up from the river, and died a few days ago , but that mark was also drawn on his back." JJ raised his eyebrows, "They went to the prison to interrogate the ex-husband of the first victim that year, and the man promised to tell them the next day, but he committed suicide that night, there was no surveillance, We only photographed him answering a phone call from a public telephone booth, and there was no surveillance at the location of the telephone booth."

"If there is no reversal, there will be no record." JJ said, "What do you think, boys, did they lie?"

"There are doubts about the last gun station, let's look at the last video." Hodge picked up the remote control and was about to fast forward, when the crew members came to remind them that they were about to land.

"We went to the police station to watch." Hodge stepped forward and turned off the TV, and everyone returned to their seats to sit down one after another.
