While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

"How could it be him?"

Susan was stunned, covering her mouth, completely unable to believe what she was seeing.

Ryan.

Sheriff Ford called out the man's name, then looked at Cao Kun with obvious surprise: "The sheriff you're talking about is Ryan!"

Judging from Sheriff Ford's appearance, he actually knew Sheriff Ryan.

Little Robert was equally astonished: "He's the one in charge of Miranda's case. No wonder he pinned all the blame on Miranda."

He and Miranda's husband actually did this.

Susan gritted her teeth: "I never imagined they were this kind of people. And we trusted them so much."

Laura was also furious: "People like that should be castrated with a knife and then made to eat them themselves."

Hearing Laura's fierce voice, the men present all felt a chill run down their spines.

Laura seemed to sense something and looked at the men: "Am I wrong?"

The men hesitated to answer, but Cao Kun coughed and said, "The facts are now very clear: Miranda's husband and this Sheriff Ryan have set up a secret base here."

Using their identities, they either deceived or kidnapped girls, imprisoning them here and subjecting them to sexual assault and abuse.

Some people were even brutally beaten to death by them.

Sheriff Ford nodded: "This evidence completely proves that this is the truth of the matter."

Susan asked the question that concerned her: "Will these things exonerate Miranda?"

Cao Kun said, "Miranda's husband has blood on his hands and has killed many innocent people."

Some of them become ghosts, seeking his life and cruelly killing him. Isn't that normal?

Laura said, "But the dead cannot serve as witnesses or evidence."

Before Cao Kun could explain, Sheriff Ford said, "Although the dead cannot be witnesses, given what Miranda's husband and Sheriff Ryan have done, the evidence previously collected by Sheriff Ryan is no longer legally valid."

Therefore, Miranda cannot be convicted.

Laura nodded in realization: "Yes, and once the evidence we've found is released, both the judge and the public will side with Miranda, making it even less likely that Miranda will be convicted."

Susan's face lit up with joy: "So, Miranda really can be exonerated, and she'll be free soon?"

Sheriff Ford: "If nothing else goes wrong."

"Very good."

Susan was even happier.

Little Radish held her hand, and the two nodded to each other, their faces full of joy.

"Bang!"

Just then, a muffled thud came from above them.

At the same time, the light also dimmed.

Then, the sound of chains scraping together came from behind.

Someone had apparently covered the metal cover leading to the basement, and it looked like it was locked with chains.

"not good."

Young Kane moved swiftly, quickly climbing the stairs and trying to push the cover plate with his hand, but he couldn't budge it.

He buried his head and tried to push it up with his shoulder, but the cover plate seemed to be welded shut and wouldn't budge.

He returned, his face grim: "It's locked, can't be opened. The cover is metal, even a pistol bullet would have a hard time penetrating it."

As soon as he finished speaking, liquid began to drip down again.

A pungent smell followed.

Everyone present was a seasoned driver; upon smelling the odor, they all paled.

"Gasoline, it's gasoline!" Little Radish exclaimed in surprise.

"Hahaha……"

A burst of laughter came from above: "You idiots, meddling in other people's business. So what if you find out the truth?"

"As long as you all burn to death here, these things will never be known."

"not good."

Everyone was horrified. Laura said, "He's going to burn us all alive, kill us to silence us, and destroy the evidence."

Sheriff Ford raised his voice: "Ryan, I'm Ford. Don't do anything rash. Let us out, and I can help you."

"Ford, it was you. You can fool those idiots with that, but we're both sheriffs, do you think I'd believe that? Only if you all die would it be the best thing for me."

Ryan laughed loudly outside: "What a pity, I think I just heard Laura's voice. She's a very beautiful girl, it's a shame she's going to be burned to death inside too."

Seeing that Ryan was unresponsive and that more and more gasoline was leaking out, everyone became even more anxious.

"What do we do? What do we do... We're going to be burned alive here."

The little radish was so anxious that it was running around in circles, like an ant on a hot pan.

There's no trace of Iron Man's charisma.

Susan seemed calmer than him, but her face was also pale, clearly indicating that she was also extremely frightened.

Not to mention them, Sheriff Ford, Laura, and Kane, the three police officers from the United States, were also in a state of panic.

Emily, meanwhile, huddled in the corner, curled up in a ball, clutching her head and trembling uncontrollably, like a frightened quail.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Cao Kun's voice suddenly rang out, like a lighthouse in the darkness, giving them endless hope.

"Oh, right, Master Cao." Laura was the first to react, looking at Cao Kun expectantly: "Master Cao, can you save us?"

The others also quickly looked at Cao Kun, filled with anticipation.

Cao Kun didn't speak, but simply took out a paperweight.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he said, "Go, take control of the people outside, and open the cover."

No one saw anything except that Cao Kun spoke to thin air.

Roberta, Susan, and Kane were all filled with doubts.

Only Laura and Sheriff Ford's eyes lit up.

They had seen Cao Kun do the same thing before.

Then, the servant was stopped.

That guy, Morian, even said that Master Cao was raising a ghost.

Previously, they had been uneasy and anxious about this.

But now, they desperately hope that Cao Kun really has a ghost that can help them get out of their predicament.

"Ah...no, no...let me go, let me go..."

Suddenly, Ryan's voice rang out from above again.

However, his voice no longer contained the previous madness and smugness, but instead became filled with extreme fear and resistance.

It seems to be struggling against a powerful being and is completely at a disadvantage.

"Splash..."

The sound of the chain being pulled rang out again.

Then, everyone saw a bright light shining down from above.

But the cover was opened again.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Sheriff Ford immediately drew his gun and carefully walked upstairs.

Cairn Laura, also carrying a gun, followed behind.

Next up were Little Robert and Susan.

Cao Kun then put away his DV camera, helped Emily up from the corner, and walked at the back.

They made it to the ground floor without incident by going up the stairs. The four people behind them saw Sheriff Ford, Laura, and Kane pointing guns at a tall, fat, middle-aged white man with a bald head.

He was wearing a California police uniform, had a large belly, and stood motionless, but his expression was one of struggle: "Let me go, get away, get away from me..."
