A Certain Marvel Super Player

"What?"

"Suicide?"

"You're kidding me, George."

Kaopu was in a daze after getting the news.

George looked at the photos sent from Beckett on his phone speechlessly: "Why did I lie to you? Look at the photos yourself, I sent them to you."

Kaopu put down his phone and opened the picture he just received.

Enter the eyes.

In a house, at the stairway leading to the second floor, a hanging rope hung vertically, and then, a woman in pajamas hung peacefully on it.

As George relayed Beckett, Beckett relayed what the two patrolmen said.

After the two patrolmen knocked on the door, there was no movement. When they were about to leave, they suddenly heard the sound of something moving inside, and then they discovered that the door was not locked.

When they opened the door and looked at the condescending Bussen Kaz, who stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes at them, they almost lost their soul.

Bushen Katz.

Anila Katz's mother.

but……

Kaopu frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"There was a suicide note at the scene," George said.

Can suicide without a suicide note be called suicide?

In that suicide note, Busson Katz said that she did not expect Carrie Chester to be so persistent and refused to give up asking about her daughter's whereabouts. She even ran to New Orleans at her own expense. After calling her, she knew that paper could not cover the fire.

So, she committed suicide.

As for what happened, she also explained clearly.

Because Anila Katz behaved very strangely some time ago, and the church Busen Katz joined was the Dolan Church whose mission was to eliminate witches, so Busen Katz brought Anila Katz under his belt. He went to New Orleans, and then, after confirming that his daughter was an evil witch, he cruelly ended her life.

seem……

Bushen Katz took responsibility for Anila Katz's death.

but.

After Kaop hung up the phone, he walked into the office again and looked at Kainuo: "Is there any news from the fingerprint comparison center?"

In Anila Katz's practice report, in addition to determining the time of death, Edward Forensic Medical Examiner also extracted a not very clear fingerprint from the throat of the corpse.

Not Anila Katz’s.

At this moment, the fingerprint database in New Orleans is running rapidly. As long as the owner of the fingerprint has a criminal record, even for drunk driving, his fingerprints can be found.

But this is the New Orleans Police Department, not the FBI.

The local police station has so many cases and only so many resources. Just like there is a queue for an autopsy, there is also a queue for the fingerprint comparison center.

But.

"I have already said hello to the people at the fingerprint comparison center. They will do it for us as soon as possible. We should be able to get the results before Bussen Katz is brought to us."

Detective Keno turned his head and replied to Copp, and then asked: "How is it in New York? When can people arrive?"

Copp smiled reluctantly.

"??"

"People are dead."

"..."

When Locke and Carrie, who had just come to the office with Detective Keno, heard this, they turned their heads and looked at Copp: "What does it mean that a person is dead?"

Cope revealed the news that Katz’s mother, Bussen Katz, was discovered by a New York patrol officer and left a suicide note, committing suicide at home.

After hearing this, Locke couldn't help laughing in his heart.

So, in fact, the Dolan Church did not choose to lie down, but chose to kill Bussen Katz, pretending that Bussen Katz committed suicide and take all the blame?

Wonderful.

Locke raised his eyebrows. This method is better than forcing a confrontation. Moreover, it has to be said that the idea of ​​​​this solution has a feeling of losing the car to save the commander.

There are corpses and cases, but at the same time, there are also murderers who have left suicide notes and confessed their crimes.

If another fingerprint had not been detected on Anila Katz's body, according to the general plot trend, this case would probably have ended here.

but……

This is simply trying to hide the truth.

Copp looked at Detective Keno's eyes and shook his head: "Whether it was suicide or not, the New York Police Department has more resources than us, so we should be able to draw a conclusion soon."

Even if it was suicide, this case is full of doubts.

at this time.

Cope's phone rang.

Line connected.

Kaop frowned as he listened to Jim Rod's voice on the phone. After a while, the expression on Kaop's face turned into one of surprise.

Locke was beside him, listening to Jim Rod's words on the phone, and frowned inadvertently.

Nothing else.

Jim Rod said on the phone that after Locke and others left, he spent the whole night questioning the glasses geek in charge of surveillance last night, and finally found the culprit by following the clues.

after an hour.

Or in the small town next to Lake Leri.

get off.

Jim Rod, who had a smile on his face and seemed to have been waiting for a long time, walked up after seeing Copp get out of the car: "Inspector Thornton."

Copp shook hands with Jim Rod expressionlessly, and then said directly: "Where is he?"

"In the confessional!"

As Jim Rod spoke, he led the way with a truly heartbreaking expression: "Inspector Thornton, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."

According to Jim Rhodes, although they are a witch-hunting group of the Dolan Church, this thing is actually the same as an honorary group. Tradition is more important than action.

After all, there are no witches in the world, and the Salem Witch Trials have been recognized by the world as an act of persecution by the Holy See against heretics.

Jim Rod said that the most they can do now is perform the so-called burning of witches to attract tourists. He never expected that one of them would actually do it if his brain was crazy. Something like this comes out.

soon.

In the church with the Dolan logo in the town, with the arrival of Jim Rod, the door of the church was opened, and then a guy who was tied with hemp rope and looked bad was pushed out from inside. .

Two police officers came forward and controlled the guy.

"Ian Mullen."

Jim Rod looked at the controlled Mullen with sorrow, and said to Copp next to him: "Last night, he already told us, Detective Thornton, that we are not a church like the California Sky Eye Organization. We are nothing more than a church composed of descendants of the Crusaders."

crusader……

Does he have a good reputation?

Locke glanced at Jim Rod. Also, others couldn't see it, but he could see it. Even Carrie next to him could see it.

The Ian Mullen in front of him, who was controlled by two police officers, was not in a good state.

In fact.

It's a miracle that Ian Mullen is still standing.

The death energy gathered on Ian Mullen's head, and it seemed that he was about to die soon.

Good guy.

Is there any way to break this situation?

Locke took a few more glances at Jim Rod. He was not omniscient and omnipotent. No one was. He dared to say that he was omniscient and omnipotent. He was either a madman or a big liar.

Anila Katz died in Lake Leary, and it must have been the work of this witch trial group.

but……

Locke didn't know who it was.

If this Ian Mullen refuses to say that he did this, frankly speaking, it seems that this matter will really end here, and Jim Rod will become his concern, and then, completely The survivors who seized that glimmer of life and escaped.

Locke regretted it a little.

However, because he is kind-hearted and believes that every damned person has a chance to be saved, he decides on this chance of survival. If he regrets it, what is the difference between him and the executioner?

"Jingle Bell!"

"Hello."

Detective Kaino was in the fingerprint comparison center, looking at the results of the comparison, and was a little excited: "We found it, Copp, Ian Mullen. He was arrested for attempted kidnapping and arson five years ago. He was just released on bail after a month.”

Kaop listened to Detective Keno's words, looked at Ian Mullen who was being pinched by two police officers, and said, "I understand."

hang up the phone.

Cope and the two officers nodded.

The two police officers immediately grabbed Ian Mullen and walked towards the outside of the church.

Copp glanced at Jim Rod, who was smiling and full of cooperation, smiled, turned around, and left without saying a word.

"Mr. Broughton."

Jim Rod stopped Locke again, shook Locke's hand gratefully, and made a preemptive strike: "Aneela Katz is lucky to have a friend like Mr. Broughton, and fortunately Mr. Broughton saw through the conspiracy and wanted to kill him." Otherwise, if there is such a crazy murderer in my church for a long time, I'm afraid... I won't be able to defend myself."

The expression is spot on.

The same goes for tone.

but……

Too hypocritical and exaggerated.

Locke said with a smile: "Mr. Rhodes' control is still very strong. Yesterday, we just left, and today, we handed over the person. What a good trick."

Jim Rod's expression did not change, and he still had a smile on his face: "In the church, we are all family members. There are no secrets. If there is, then he is not our family."

Locke said: "So, Bushen Kaz is no longer your family?"

Jim Rod was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"

Locke smiled. Although Jim Rhodes felt that his performance was quite good, there were still flaws: "It's nothing. Goodbye, Mr. Rhodes."

Jim Rhodes had some regrets: "I heard that Mr. Broughton bought a ticket for tomorrow. What a pity. I originally planned to invite Mr. Rhodes to attend the witch trial rally at the end of the year."

Locke smiled slightly: "Okay, I can change the contract."

Jim Lord: “…”
