Chapter 9 9

After all the bloody horrible things that happened, he still seemed so perfect. Her first reaction was almost immediate: this time, she was in real trouble.Clearly, the police were bound to be particularly interested in the woman Glennburgh had come across by chance, and that Glennburgh not only provided her with meals but also booked her a room (and, throughout, Glennburgh remained a gentleman). She was the mysterious woman the police were looking for, that was very certain.To make matters worse, under those circumstances, no one would be willing to help her in the process of police questioning, which is also certain.Her first feeling was rage, and she went straight into the garage and pulled a newspaper from a shelf, with the central headline of course:

victim dismembered Six boldface characters.Below is a full page of Jorgen.A photo of Grant Glenn, smiling brightly at the camera. Unnamed sources said the murderer had cut open the body and removed some of the internal organs.The police admitted that some religious symbols were left at the scene of the murder, implying that it was a massacre ritual. Scary stuff, huh? Sybylla looked up, and the man behind the counter nodded to the newspaper. The newspaper was eight crowns.Just buy a newspaper? She hesitated, fingering the coins in her pocket.Eight kronor just for a newspaper, too much!

I need a can of kerosene, please. The man pointed it out to her and told Sibylla to get it herself from the shelf on the right.After paying, there was only nineteen crowns left in Sybylla's purse. Back to the farmhouse area, I didn't see Yelm again.She closed the door behind her and set the newspaper away.After reading the first four lines, she was convinced that she was the woman the police wanted. The question posed by the newspaper was: Jorgen.Who is Grant's mysterious female companion?The woman had dined with Grant Borg at the French restaurant at the Grand Hotel.How did this woman disappear in the morning?How to quietly pass the police cordon?Police encourage the public to provide any information related to the case to police headquarters, and the report number is displayed in large font.

She feels uneasy.After a few seconds, she knew what was going on: she felt threatened. What should she do?The easiest answer is to call the reporting line, explain the circumstances, and maintain your innocence.The downside is that she will have to let the police know her personal details, including her social security number.Just checking the computer would show the police that she had little official status, and doing so would make them immediately curious about her, which was the last thing she wanted.She just hoped that no one would bother her and let her mind her own business.For fifteen years, that's all she wanted: No one to track where she went.

Of course, she committed many unimportant illegal acts, petty crimes that never hurt any poor people.She is not evil at all, but there are still many things she would rather the police not investigate.She had long been used to being in a world outside of normal life, she no longer lived within the normal system. Being homeless is her way of life, that's what she is.She should be able to live on her own terms, which seems like a small thing to ask for.But she knew that the media would write the story of her life as something she couldn't stand.Not that she's proud of everything she's done, but whoever tries to meddle in making the law must go to hell.

Strangers will never really understand why her life has become the way it is, and it would be terrible if the original her grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth.So what happened?What happened?
