Isaac and Will looked at each other, "In other words, someone lied."

Will nodded silently.

Isaac pulled out his phone and called Black, "Did you find anything at Roger and Grote's place?"

"They're excited, they're agitated, and they look reserved, but that's probably a hangover from a long period of inactivity," Black said, "but I think they're enjoying being a public figure in the limelight. "

"And why they live in isolation," Sweets interjected. "They're supposed to be telling the truth, they're enjoying that semi-primitive life, not trying to escape the world or something."

"So, they're not a couple?" Isaac asked.

"It's more like brothers who are close to each other," Sweets said. "Yeah, they're not a couple."

"Is something wrong?" Black asked.

"Maybe." Isaac looked at the endless road. When it broke down here and the communication equipment was unavailable, normal people would not choose to go back, because they knew how far they had driven, and walked forward. It is also unrealistic, because the nearest settlement marked on the map seems so out of reach.The one most likely to be chosen is to stay in place and wait for passing vehicles along the way. Even if they cannot give them a ride, they can still get help to contact the outside world.

If Tammy and Edith got into such a car, they wouldn't get out of the car and meet Grote chasing the rabbit.Most likely, they hitchhiked in Grote's car from the very beginning, and then went down at his invitation, perhaps to replenish a little food, or maybe a car that Grote didn't have communication equipment but where he lived had it. reason to deceive them.

In the testimony of Roger and Grote, they did admit that Tammy and Edith had been to them, but they borrowed a car and let them go.Later, the car broke down on another abandoned road, and Tammy and Edith were nowhere to be found.

What if Tammy and Edith didn't get in that car at all?

Many things can be explained, but the situation of Tammy and Edith is even more difficult.

Isaac counted the time they had been missing. If they were really in that hut, would Roger and Grote still be in the mood to accept interviews and whitewash themselves like they are now?They would do this because they must have extremely strong confidence, believing that what they did was flawless, and it was impossible for anyone to catch their feet.It is even said that it is like the murderer likes to return to the scene of the crime to get satisfaction during the police investigation. What makes them excited is——

Tammy and Edith weren't there, and if they were, no one knew, no one could see.

"Isaac, Isaac?" On the other end of the phone, Black couldn't help but increase his voice after not getting a reply for a long time.

"I'm here." Isaac came to his senses, "Where are you now?"

"We originally planned to go back, but we met a small team of search and rescue personnel on the way. They said they found a hidden path. We planned to follow it, but nothing was found. We are going back now." Black replied.

"We'll meet at Roger and Grote's cabin." Isaac made a decision immediately, "Will noticed something was wrong, they lied."

"Understood." Black agreed quickly.

"Do you think they are still alive?" Will remained silent until the navigation display on their car showed that they were about to reach their destination, "This kind of displaying everything in a fair manner, putting on a layer of camouflage for yourself, But no one found something wrong..."

"No, no, Will, not everyone is Dr. Lecter." Issac found that when the name was spoken, Will flinched subconsciously, "These are two different things, this is a common psychology among psycho killers , wants to show off, use his own knowledge to ridicule others' ignorance, and Dr. Lecter..."

"That's his day-to-day life," Will said.

"That's right." Isaac agreed heartily.

Dr. Lecter's name seems to have been gone for a long time. In the beginning, Issac could still hear some rumors, and many psychologists actively visited him.But now, or rather, before he knew how long before he got to know it carefully, the name had disappeared. Issac doesn't think those psychologists will give up easily, but the fact is that none of the journals and newspapers on psychology that Issac has appointed does not have this name appearing.

Either someone took measures and finally made up his mind to isolate this person, or it was the silence before the storm was brewing.

Isaac sincerely hoped it was the former.

It's going to be dark, but there are plenty of people around Roger and Grote's cabin.The surrounding environment is good, there is a wave of lake water not far away, two tents are pitched on the shore, and the two groups are facing each other and arguing.

Isaac listened for a while, probably a group of people felt that Roger and Grote did it, and they wanted to stay nearby and catch their feet; while the other group claimed that they were innocent, and the reason was that, a year ago, They have also been helped by those two people before, and they firmly believe that they are good people. This time, they came to help after seeing someone slandering them on the Internet.

"I'll take a look over there, Will, you go to the cabin first, but don't startle the snake." Isaac's footsteps that were going to the cabin turned a corner and walked towards the lake.

Will nodded casually.

The arguing over there had already diminished, and then when the second group didn't quiet down but made a mockery, they quarreled again.

"Hey, hey, everyone stop arguing." Isaac saw the man named Roger walking over with a bag of fruit, and began to fight, "Grote and I are very happy that everyone trusts us, and we believe that things will come to light , before that, let's get along friendly and don't quarrel, okay? Eat some fruits, I picked them from the mountains, and they taste very good."

An argument disappears, and no one can speak ill of a good old man, especially when those who believe in him have always believed in him and those who doubt him have wavered.

Roger was quickly accepted, and they chatted about the previous topic, but this time the smell of gunpowder was much less. When Issac came, they were talking about the inadvisability of judging a person by appearance, because judging a person only by appearance It's very unfair what people are like.The rude and withdrawn one in the forest might be a warm guy, and the elite student who went to an Ivy League school might be the one with the twisted mind.

"It's a movie, isn't it?" Roger didn't seem to know anything about the comparison, "I heard from Tammy, she said that at first she was really worried about meeting bad guys, but there are movies that tell her, many things, Many tragedies are caused by thinking too much and being self-righteous. I asked her why she thought so, and she told me about a movie."

"That was a very funny...comedy movie." A man dug out a dozen beers from the tent and handed it out, "A lot of irony, especially for people who are self-righteous and self-righteous, yes, I love that word! World It's so big, there aren't that many bad guys... Hey, who are you?"

"Issac Costa, FBI." Isaac flashed his ID and looked at Roger.

Roger scratched his chin, entangled his fingers and beard, and accidentally pulled out a beard, causing his expression to contort in pain, "Didn't the FBI come here before?" His voice sounded a little soft, giving people a feeling An inexplicable feeling of grievance.

"It was probably the wrong time to come that time." Isaac was indifferent, "Can we go aside and have a chat?"

"Why does he listen to you, this is Australia, not America!" The group who had been defending Roger surrounded Roger.

"If you think he prefers the interrogation room in the police station, that's fine with me," Isaac said deadpan.He knew he looked like a bad guy now, or a villain or something, but that didn't matter when he saw Roger's bone knife, which was only about five inches long, hanging from his waist.

Others may not recognize any difference in the bones of different species, but Isaac is by no means in the scope of this other.In his eyes, human bones are the ones with bold and bright capital letters. Even if they are made into tools, he can still see the clues from the cross-section.

"What do you want to know?" Roger seemed to gain a little sense of security from the maintenance, "I've said everything I know."

"If you tell a lie a thousand times, someone might win the trust, but once the trust is broken, it's hard to rebuild," Issac said. "You'd better be prepared for everything you say, this time it's not a joke. .”

Roger looked distressed, but he followed Isaac to a quiet place. Isaac watched him play these tricks, nothing more than trying to portray himself as a victim. Isaac had no intention of cooperating with him, but he had no intention of exposing him until he got the evidence.

"What do you want to know?" Roger sat on a fallen tree trunk that was already hollow. "What I said before was the truth, why did you say I was lying?"

Isaac looked a little dazed.As soon as he stepped into this land, he felt something was wrong, like stepping into a party in the second half of the carnival, when the coats of gentlemen and ladies were taken off, leaving only the last wildness full of animal nature.

Isaac took a few steps back suddenly, he looked around, a little dazed.The vegetation here grows vigorously and densely, and looks lush and full of vitality.
