據偉兹所知341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjav4uz5JP
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx80xY2go2
同時也是年紀相近朋友———341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfopKlqpEK
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF8FLOrbd8
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUQ8XU3uD7
偉兹與雷爾夫先生首次見面就是始於鄰近鎮上的阿登步道。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpEER2cQWH
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXb4P5V3X
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5rpsNWiat
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwcIfauQrM
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p4ohPsRAi
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeSxSDsY9u
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwtfDvOfN
是個因環境優美及空氣清新而受鎮民歡迎的消遣休憩之地。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZM7rI5CJ1
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60xdqcNUsx
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8HRtifB8
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4GInCv5ON
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBko1RqMLy
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpkc4aCcqy
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecrUJefpLi
兩人才沒受到傷害。
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BG7yzMH8J
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZhbriJ9Ya
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50tKnvvQn
而今天早上，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNT9w3pnQ4
偉兹踏單車路經普斯特家家前巧遇剛回到家的雷爾夫先生。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtov9y1nwFU
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSITXAWvPGj
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BO8PGKOMd
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3OCddIVYr
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXkw2puNYQ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmsP8jZXuK
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirv5RAVtub
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDZkRmpRXU
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8kjN3moXc
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7CYXzr0xa
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqWn5IAmnv
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAMsqklboQ
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVsQw9ISY7
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDP71zjScm
“我知道了！”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOuuR7rG4u
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP1WyqPuoV
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtvBAqa8mD
門內散發著一陣比他在戰時從敵軍身上感受過都強的敵意，被他狩獵過的動物和惡魔都兇猛的攻擊性。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGwEU8YL0C
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S2xPcXCXj
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuF7pK4tUc
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL0BibiePG
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQ5p1VvYu
“早安！普斯特夫人！”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEaPtEn2d8
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AjosR5s5N
“早安呀偉兹，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7zOV4nkdb
記得要成為一個有責任感和時間觀念的男子漢哦！你說對不對？ 親 愛 的。”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7rQzA3KUP
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SZSsfQ53P
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8nA81x4Oi
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFNqYvQ6rA
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadeVR9qmFF
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEp6lzp9X8
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgzR17DAhi
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClMiv8Z7ML
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFyZhezOai
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEDkV0se6X
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5xxWMlIbp
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ICxnEKusS
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bBBDTXB3R
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb3CfOoQie
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZML2Lz30C
偉兹沒有再聽下去，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCuTyJiBUu
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDIljNlLOu
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH99OqU3ur6
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ow4OPSWo
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEcwhpaNgI
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlG1kaqw7I
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RKMOXxI2D
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUQzBzVW3D
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8337TpHm
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mYIbtACHG
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxyoZh3IyX
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVgc1ZNG0D
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwIMR7e7Y7
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvbMK868NG
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HW0JejH2N
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgghr4NVbRt
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQxMC99H7V
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMb049XI2L
成為守護市民的警察才對。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9zQoyyAU
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr1Vq4Sjfh
偉兹來到威克森家前，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwwwxGGApc
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsXQcQWiww
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rm8UVp1Fl
這是最後一站，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHwn7b6PiV
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZLcmDCw99
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGrILAZuhC
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBSOIUrjEt
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhptmojgfFm
“先重組整合一下，
你是在說昨晚駕駛貨車時遇到一列樹木像骨牌般倒向車道，你以過人的技術全部迴避開。
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Dh2UHAPG
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JGBg59gtb
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL3CH7ftRz
″對.....對....你.....還說什...什麼雨水關係,還徒..徒...手搬開倒在地上的...樹幹″ 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLZuOAjhS
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwXOm3bdm
“安東尼，我和無數擅於說謊的罪犯交手過。
他們的証詞永遠讓人非常可信，
但我永遠能找出隱藏在細節內的漏洞。”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1veQDG8dm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudp3r1iqMU
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mh4Orn0Yf
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSdM9Gc8Rk
“我當然知道了朋友，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3IDL1NTDL
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1C7NWPSxy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4htD6bM3E
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Mxl09fPy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j0mxEgTv6
“可能你只是太累了，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75AQRJQg1L
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFh8armJuy
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0t9Y0FlAz
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yR9y8pjLT
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGWY1Qy0bn
“抱.....歉”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzRx4QPDuA
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU5p0zhM26
“沒問題的，
我累的時候也會想起雷金納德和那個膽小的警監上司。
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI7HTYuwLB
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RhHjogXk
但是你疲勞和內心的恐懼又把一棵想成兩棵三棵，甚至更可怕的景象。” 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yN0mTaI7r
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRMncSZgJp
安東尼想起昨晚倒向貨車後又突然消失的樹木，經過衛威恩的引導他開始懷疑起自己。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH8QeYVXmE
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sux0lRP02
“人呀在最困難的時候總會回想起最重要的人，
昨晚那個我就只存在於你的腦海裡，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQdxi5QUyf
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TU9Iway8T
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU34UDoPgm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mIjdGxXLE
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2evBkwUkt
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wd58kZxQY
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTRMZAs8bK
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5iuwQvMt4
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk2U5Bpv2y
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQELtVk7N
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPZ67082Qu
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPLbW9dYI0
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFonFL6HrPo
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Wz1RbU4O
衛威恩．威克森”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMwDIDi9Jo
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcRi07bD2
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQWP2S6Hdh
伸出左手表示友好。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNffDRZZNlM
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbF3yNNLvn
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86QVrQ0eZF
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqXz3bNjOT
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJDbnYgnuE
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHasStCDxeJ
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqAsQv99w4
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGaE7A83ZO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBuU8nzkHe
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP4QAUbT25
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL7ylAS2Mi
祝你們有美好的一天”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf6WZYylSU
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4w8wMLjo0
