Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 31 Ending: Surprise at Crystal Lake

The flames shot up into the sky and spread to other abandoned classrooms in a short time.

At this time, a large group of people came. After all, the fire and the screams were still very eye-catching.

Under the command of the sheriff, the cordon was opened and the fire brigade began to put out the fire. In the United States, each state has its own management regulations and a large amount of autonomy. In terms of firefighting, except for some large cities, there are no professional firefighters. Most of them are paid volunteers.

For example, the town’s fire department was funded and established by the townspeople of Krana, and they also pay the firefighters’ wages for each firefighting. In this case, the efficiency of the firefighters is quite good.

The fire was quickly put out, and the bodies inside were revealed at this moment.

The sheriff seemed a little nervous and started the inspection immediately. On the other side, Yurenka was also guarded by several police officers. David and her mother were also here, negotiating with the police officers.

After a moment, the sheriff, who found no obvious injuries on the charred body, breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems it wasn't human error, not that guy. Fortunately, fortunately."

After arranging forensic identification, they immediately went to the only eyewitness, Yurunka, and arranged for police officers to check the people and determine the identity of the body.

He looked at Yurenka and began to ask questions.

And Yulenka also started her performance, she was about to cry, her eyes were red, and she looked scared. Seeing this, the sheriff couldn't help but soften his heart. There was nothing he could do. Most adults have good intentions towards children.

This is also an important reason why some evil children can commit crimes without being discovered.

After a while, Yurenka finally spoke with a stammer after being comforted, "...Me...Ester..."

"What did you say? Esther? That's Esther?!"

David, who was accompanying Jenny nearby, was stunned and asked loudly.

Yurenka nodded timidly. "She said she was your daughter, and thinking we'd be sisters in the future, she wanted to play with me. We came here, but while we were playing, Esther fell and smashed the spray paint, which... set it on fire..."

"I...I'm so scared..."

Yurenka trembled, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, and his fear was visible to the naked eye.

The suspicion in the sheriff's eyes disappeared at this moment. He was actually a little skeptical. After all, there were two murders in this school not long ago. One was a dead body in the lake, and the other was a student jumping off a building. The school was quite sensitive right now.

But Yurenka's fear at this moment is definitely not fake, he guarantees it with his twenty years of experience as a police officer!
So, it's possible that this was just an accident.

At this moment, David suddenly ran over to the corpse, looking excited, carefully examining it, muttering "Impossible..."

He stood up again and ran towards the dormitory building, but saw Louis and Emma halfway.

"Louis, Emma, ​​have you seen Esther?"

"No, she said she went out to play and never came back."

At this moment, David fell to the ground, his eyes red, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

You can see that he is really sad.

Although Esther had been adopted not long ago, it was still hard for him not to be sad that such a well-behaved child was burned to death.

Louis looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Emma, ​​on the other hand, kept a stable expression from beginning to end.

"Dad, what happened to Sister Esther?"

"...Esther..."

After a while, several people returned to the scene, but the sheriff looked at David seriously, "David Grossman, have you ever abused Esther?"

???

David was bewildered.

The medical examiner came over, his face solemn. "Sheriff, something's wrong. Those scars were left a long time ago, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is her teeth. They're badly worn. She wears braces. I'm a little suspicious that she's... a dwarf. Of course, further instrument testing is needed to confirm this." Scars? Dwarf? Something's wrong!

The sheriff put his hand on David's shoulder expressionlessly. "Well, it looks like Mr. Grossman has to come with us to the police station."

David: "..."

Everything is so magical tonight!

……

Watching David being taken away, Louis and Emma were left to Angela's care.

Angela forced the two to sleep in the same room with her tonight, saying it was for safety.

Lying in bed, Louis didn't think about Esther. To him, the matter was over. What else could he say about a dead person?

He was just thinking about the three new skills he had acquired. Tonight, the effect of fire magic had already been revealed, and this was just the beginning. In the past, they were just tricks used for acrobatics.

Once you become proficient in it, you will have mastered the art of fire taming. You will be able to enter a fire scene at will without being disturbed by ordinary flames, and you no longer need secret oil to protect yourself.

After I get back, I have to practice more and become proficient as soon as possible.

As for the final mastery level of fire manipulation, Louis did not hold out hope for the time being. The reason was that at that level, magical power was needed, and he still did not have the skills in this area.

Fire magic is already so amazing, what about dog magic and hiding magic?

Dog surgery requires screening of dog breeds, which costs money, and not a small amount.

As for Tibetan magic, you can try practicing it first, and then go to a higher level when you have enough magical power.

Louis planned the practice of the three arts in his mind and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Emma, ​​who was sleeping next to him, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Louis. There was a mixture of malice and fear in her eyes, mixed with a hint of identification. Her tongue slid across her lips, and after a moment, she chose to close her eyes.

……

David was not released until three days later.

The reason he was released was naturally because the truth had been fully investigated.

Esther's death was an accident.

But the most important thing is the forensic identification of Esther. She is indeed a dwarf and her age is not that of a child at all!
This matter was not simple. After searching through the remaining items, we successfully found clues about the Saen organization. After contacting the other party, the truth came to light.

So David was released today.

The sheriff patted David's shoulder, who looked dazed and was still muttering how this was possible, with some sympathy.

Anyone who adopts a dangerous dwarf with mental problems and suspected of having killed his family and brings him home to live with his children, and is called "Dad" by someone who looks like him and acts cute, would probably feel a chill and fear.

Looking at Angela and the other two who came to pick him up, "Okay, the matter is resolved, you can take him back."

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. The sheriff picked up the phone and was instantly shocked.

"What? It started over at Crystal Lake again? This time they went into Crystal Town?! How many people died? Over a dozen?!"

Louis, who was laughing at David's joke, was stunned.

Did I just hear some key words?
Crystal Lake...Crystal Town...More than a dozen people died...

Hey!
Jason!!!
