據偉兹所知356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2NK9GJkAp
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbFxedBZin
同時也是年紀相近朋友———356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9domeJWNHl
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3OebHq8QG
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyur1BtMHCJ
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。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ZX1wRgSp
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pUMJ7IS9
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaysle4kNl3
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOiByageet
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QLvjzcnzH
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn107VxRGgr
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VnfsENLJl
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。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwObdwVuZYC
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS2D4GNbUz
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArhTzXqFWN
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Km6dnGZ4w
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxjA6S5IKx
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaI0dRkZhi
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wqVuE2HaZ
兩人才沒受到傷害。
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf1OcEL9mY
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs2M3AjXQp
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgclR8wpiCM
而今天早上，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LZCXrX7JN
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。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6vmfwVscL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB8fBmUBRx
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7scKyqrMB
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4T9ATJRB
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9n9HXFpgp
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX825V8Skz
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM8xufvzkI
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhAOIxhowf
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxt29ocsau
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4EarZIo8d
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LhEC3f728
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEA4qTLRSY
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRFuCtHYZR
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR6wPQ1EeQ
“我知道了！”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY2jV2hiOT
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTJjfZzLQO
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlvkeIK1M
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。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxrkJKdcrQ
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqUNC2wEYS
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEOJqK3Z9e
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ962IpaE7gO
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x5VMvnKt0
“早安！普斯特夫人！”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPVp2S9H2A
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9vyAgRY2g
“早安呀偉兹，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptMwWZGe4Y
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。”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBgtN96GgJ
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbuR2AF84t
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTRZ5OTHBd
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBkQorjIKs
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbFl87eUQa
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHonKuKASq
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5e6VTlNwo
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD1Ibn3f1A
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtxXgOPuEC
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgDPt4Dqe0
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSgskDXXYR
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62pPWK6mM
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3x4d0zDM6
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdckDranC
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8VUajCCse
偉兹沒有再聽下去，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy50ewiZ32V
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN0ZsMozdK
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ziklcyaK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh4JUhOjb3
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiPD0i4DnD
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqszhJAq26D
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13zEj0rV7a
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkpqHFxOSK
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡior6B0aHLe
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPajq6q4v7
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTlKjweuNx
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY1GICPtvH
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ftB4KeKP
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZySbj3d89s
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9qCCwJpG7
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz1DHTrB6m
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh5qDLhEG6
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBKv1SFCW9
成為守護市民的警察才對。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGXsLoCQDg
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7ViyW49t
偉兹來到威克森家前，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BEwjQSHKW
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK63bNNhnFp
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26gxffDRaI
這是最後一站，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGSuJiFG48
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAWnUlSlhr
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7eRQx1ueB
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8eZRH4dqi
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wjAQ5nEVs
“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。
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o86OFiyW6
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r1hNLZrbF
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45rb19YtVp
″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″ 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZzb1PNo74
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeUoNv2wgt
“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。”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdLD4s1ACL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSwLRLoDjR
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzF0c4TJbq
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzxEkIk33u
“我當然知道了朋友，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwbZkKLkOq
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYzDsOkGSw
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oms8cOcmP
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0ELklqt6
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJyW8blD1o
“可能你只是太累了，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRVtYtLdkZ
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7QB63MiTH
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmmIx1ZvJX
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbqo6PKWGl
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykaXrdYwkD
“抱.....歉”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd6h4dq5gI
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMarjSfPlzj
“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。
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmccGcFQ6GF
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGqaxccNva
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。” 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0VFoJYWQq
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczLcqxF4kn
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。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZZAU2lcYV
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuzqaNSqnE
“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，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEyrmHdem2
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVMSD0d7La
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSctzhhQFN5
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z7IBtXANX
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSAEEWBHf
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCo3DyndhF
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67TZm3h3r3
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdY61gebnm
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlROQV47HO
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjraBEo3og0
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU5udLxwcI
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoszSGIPI3
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vqfGXzTWz
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfCdgcbyir
衛威恩．威克森”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAmQaqv3S0
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJHAxO31Qu
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoXIaQp9KE
伸出左手表示友好。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcIyxrFWyy
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxONKvQbWnR
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNC2lCyx06
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbVgsOUMNz
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqjRNebiUZ
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrk8BHLT22
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i9DOMNiJC
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwgKrzDe4R
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLgHxsYjae
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wpsMvm6L7
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8GjsJvszq
祝你們有美好的一天”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDBgwBUUD
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCR8uYpyWW
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89i98RLq90
