American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 4 Murder Charge
I heard it! In the cupboard!
Roy rushed to the cupboard and opened the door.

There was indeed someone inside, but he was a dead person.

The voices came from the two mobile phones in the dead man's hands.

My goodness, the mysterious man used a mobile phone to call another mobile phone, and then used this mobile phone to call Roy's landline.

By using the nesting doll method, he attracted my attention, so the mysterious man's purpose was...

Roy heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air from behind him, and his upper body instinctively dodged, successfully avoiding the mysterious man's sneak attack.

Then, Roy instinctively turned 180 degrees and threw a hook, hitting the attacker's shoulder.

Unfortunately, Roy hadn't adapted to his new body yet, so the punch only hit his shoulder.

If the punch was higher and hit the attacker's chin, it would put him into a good sleep.

However, Roy's punch also knocked the attacker to the ground.

Only then did Roy see the attacker's appearance. He was wrapped in a black robe and had a ghost mask on his face with his mouth wide open and screaming.

Hiss, isn't this the mask from Scream?

This mask is truly a classic. Even people who have not seen the movie have seen this mask elsewhere, so Roy was very impressed.

The moment Roy paused, the attacker threw the kitchen knife in his hand. He instinctively swung it again, and the knife cut a gash on his face.

Roy came to his senses and became furious. He picked up his revolver and was about to shoot, but the attacker had already disappeared around the corner.

There's nothing much to say about this guy's fighting skills, but his escape speed is really amazing.

Moreover, his stealth ability was very strong. Even with Roy's athletic speed, he chased after the person but lost him after just a few steps.

"Didn't you just say that if I found you, you'd let me have some fun? I've already found you, come out and let me have some fun!"

No response. This attacker is really untrustworthy.

Roy turned around and picked up the phone on the corpse in the cupboard, dialed the number back, and a crisp ringtone suddenly rang in the house.

"Got you!"

Roy quickly rang towards the location of the ringing sound and saw a dark figure running out of the house, dropping a cell phone.

"You can't get away, bastard!"

The attacker ran so fast without making a sound that even Roy, the school team quarterback, felt he could not outrun him.

Fortunately, there was a lawn outside Roy's house, and the revolver could be used as long as there was no obstruction.

"Stop! I'm going to shoot!"

Roy issued a final warning, but the attacker ignored him and ran towards the nearby woods.

This guy probably thought that there was nothing to worry about Roy's shooting skills and that he could just run away.

Unfortunately, Roy was a man with the shooting skills of Bob Munden. He quickly pulled the trigger and shot the attacker in the left leg.

"Asshole, let me see who you are!"

Roy walked quickly towards the attacker, but at this time he heard a voice from behind.

"Drop your weapons and put your hands up!"

The voice was familiar, like the town sheriff's.

Roy didn't dare to take the risk, so he quickly put down his weapon and raised his hands. The American police really dared to shoot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the attacker rolled and crawled into the woods, but the people behind Roy didn't see the attacker because of the angle.

"Sheriff Hughes?"

"it's me."

Sheriff Hughes stepped forward and confiscated Roy's revolver.

The police in America never come when they should, but come very quickly when they shouldn't.

"Sheriff Hughes, what brings you here?" "Someone complained about a loud party at your house, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to see you with a gun. Who were you chasing?"

The town's sheriff was familiar with most of the townspeople, and Hughes knew Roy.

"Someone broke into my house and killed someone, and I was just tracking him down!"

"Murder? Where's the body?"

Hughes handcuffed Roy's hands and was shocked when he heard his explanation.

In a small town like Falls, there aren't many cases year-round.

The small town sheriff's daily job is actually to help townspeople find things and mediate neighborhood relations.

Roy took Hughes into the kitchen, and Hughes saw the body in the cupboard.

"Isn't this Andy?"

With the corpse in front of him, Hughes' expression was very grim.

"Sheriff Hughes, can you let me go now?"

But Hughes didn't listen to Roy.

"How do I know if you killed Andy? Come with me to the police station first!"

Roy was speechless. This was the quality of the American police. No wonder so many difficult cases happened.

"Sheriff Hughes, think about it carefully. If I were the murderer, why would I bring you to this place with the body? Isn't that just walking into a trap?"

Hughes thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

If Roy hadn't taken the initiative to tell him about the corpse, he really wouldn't have followed Roy into the house. At most, he would have given Roy a verbal lecture outside the house.

Could it be that what Roy said was true?
"Do you have any other evidence?"

"There's a kitchen knife on the ground. That's the murder weapon. There are definitely no fingerprints on the murder weapon, which means the murderer was wearing gloves, and I wasn't wearing any gloves at all!"

Roy's explanation was very reasonable, and Hughes almost believed it, but he still didn't remove the handcuffs.

"I'm sorry, Roy. I want to believe you, but I have to take you to the police station."

"Captain Hughes, I understand your concerns, but I have an idea that might help us lure the murderer out. Do you want to try?"

"What do you think."

The next day, a news broke in Falls Town that the town's star high school quarterback was arrested by the police on suspicion of second-degree murder.

Second-degree murder, as defined by American judicial interpretation, is premeditated and planned murder, as distinct from third-degree murder.

Third-degree murder is usually a crime of passion and carries a lower sentence than second-degree murder.

First-degree murder is a plus version of second-degree murder, in which the number of victims is very large.

Waterfall Town is so small, with only about a thousand people in the whole town, so the news can spread throughout the town in just one morning.

Nidi was still wondering why Roy didn't come to class, and when she heard the news, she felt like the sky was falling.

"No, Roy is not that kind of person!"

While the classmates were talking about it, Needy stood up to defend Roy.

Jennifer also echoed her best friend's words.

"Yeah, there's absolutely no need for Roy to do such a thing."

"But Roy's behavior at the party last night was very strange!"

At this time, a male classmate started to speak in a sarcastic tone. This guy was Billy, who brought Fei Ye's friends into the party last night.

Billy was limping when he went to school today. According to him, he injured his leg after drinking too much last night.

The other students all agreed, and Needy and Jennifer had no chance of arguing.
