Chapter 207 Bizarre Murder(1/2)
"Kent, there is a bizarre murder in Queens. This is the eleventh murder case so far. I need more reports and photos related to this case. Everyone is tired of talking about superheroes recently. "Frontline"
The few news reports published related to the Thunderbolts have received mediocre response..."
In the frontline newspaper office, the boss Ben Yurich said to Colin.
"A bizarre murder?"
Hearing this, Colin's face showed a somewhat curious expression.
There is naturally a reason why these murders can be called bizarre. During the subsequent investigation, Colin soon learned the reason why these murders were called bizarre.
Judging from the information disclosed by the police and reports, the location of the initial murder was the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a well-known wealthy area in New York. A man who was jogging in the morning was found dead in the trees near the park.
The police investigation caused a degree of distress.
Therefore, judging from the forensic judgment, the body was so shriveled that the time of death was obviously more than half a year old.
However, the belongings carried on the body and the descriptions of the family members clearly proved that the other party was killed less than twelve hours ago. Some nearby neighbors even personally admitted that they had been there just in the early morning.
I greeted the victim who had turned into a shriveled corpse. At that time, the victim did not look like he had been dead for half a year.
Because of the strangeness of the body, it once caused great trouble to the New York Police Department responsible for the investigation.
And this was just the beginning. In the next few days, similar murders occurred all over New York City.
The victim died in a bizarre manner, like a shriveled corpse.
Such a bizarre way of death naturally attracted a large number of media reports.
Under pressure, the New York Police Department had to set up a special investigation team to investigate these cases.
At the same time, the media also began to report the entire case with sensational headlines. They speculated on the murderer of the case, what kind of connection there was between the victims, and why the circumstances of their deaths were so similar.
Who is behind it, a super villain, some unknown mysterious force, or a ghost?
Of course, the vast majority of media generally attribute these murders to vampire tactics.
After all, the shriveled appearance of the deceased was very similar to the rumored image of someone who died after being sucked dry of blood by a vampire.
For this reason, reports of vampires appearing in New York City frequently appeared in newspapers, and everyone was panicked for a moment.
"vampire."
After reading these reports about the case, Colin did not fully agree with the speculation about vampires in the media.
This is obviously a topical gimmick created by the media to gain space. Judging from the police reports and even the information released by the investigation team, although these deceased died in bizarre circumstances, they did not have the iconic wounds of being attacked by vampires. Moreover, in
In the counter-world, Colin has never found any trace of the existence of vampires.
But no matter what, these bizarre murders in New York still aroused Colin's interest and made him feel like continuing to investigate.
At the same time, Colin also had a hunch in his heart that the truth of these cases was not simple.
This is the judgment given by [Super Hunch].
…
Queens, next to a dilapidated street.
In order to further clarify the truth of the case, Colin came to the place where the murder occurred.
This is also the most recent case to date.
Yellow warning tape was posted around the alley to separate the entire crime scene from the surrounding area, and a large number of police officers nearby were collecting evidence at the scene.
Because of the media, the public pays great attention to the case.
In order to end all this as soon as possible, the New York Police Department deployed a large number of manpower to investigate the case.
At the same time, the New York Police Department in Queens also issued a warning to gangs in the neighborhood, asking them to be quiet during this period to avoid being shot.
The two victims were members of nearby gangs, and with the warning from the police, the gangs knew that this was not a good time to cause trouble even if they had no brains.
As a result, the long-lost security situation in Queens has improved.
Standing not far from the alley, Colin used his [super vision] to take a look at the crime scene.
The bodies of the two murdered gang members were removed from the scene as soon as possible, and the police are currently only searching for evidence around them.
Looking away from the crime scene, Colin did not go to the alley to join in the fun.
He had already seen many media reporters there, and they had obviously heard the news and came to interview him.
Turning his eyes, the situation on the other side of the court attracted Colin's attention.
Obviously there was a murder happening in an alley a few meters away, but there was still a group of black kids playing basketball together on the court, and the murder had no impact on them at all.
It's just that from the occasional movement of these children's eyes and the subtle changes in expressions on their faces.
But Colin could see that all this was just a show of pretending to be calm, and these kids obviously knew something.
While thinking about it, Colin walked to the side of the stadium.
Standing around the court, he didn't take any further action, just quietly watching them play basketball.
Having said that, Colin's actions of standing motionless by the court had clearly shaken the hearts of several black children in the basketball court.
The originally smooth dribbling began to make frequent mistakes, and this situation further strengthened Colin's inner thoughts that these children knew something.
"Oops!"
At this moment, the black kid who was doing a layup made a mistake, and the thrown basketball hit the rim and bounced high, drawing a huge parabola in mid-air and finally falling in the direction of Colin.
He casually picked up the basketball that rolled down. With this action of Colin, everyone's eyes on the court were attracted by the movements of his hands.
"Sir, this is our basketball..."
On the court, several black children looked at each other in confusion, and finally a child who looked obviously taller came forward and said.
Whoosh——
Looking at the other person's outstretched palm, Colin gave a slight pause.
Immediately after bending his wrist slightly, the basketball in his hand drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and accurately fell into the basket in the distance.
Seeing Colin's basketball shot so easily and freely, the black children couldn't help but marvel, and at the same time, the alertness in their eyes weakened slightly.
Colin had been silently observing the changes in expressions on the faces of these black children. When he saw this, he suddenly became a little clearer.
"It looks like you guys should be playing basketball here all the time."
"I have a few more questions to ask you, but judging from your looks, you won't tell me easily. So, let me have a basketball game with you guys. As long as I win, you can tell me what you saw.
If you lose, I will not only give you ten dollars each, but I will not bother you again in the long run."
Facing Colin's proposal, especially the temptation of ten dollars, these black children couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
They looked at each other, and then the child who just spoke nodded: "Okay, it's a deal, sir."
Looking at the several eager black children on the court, Colin slightly raised the corners of his mouth with a faint smile. He took off his coat, placed it on the court bench, and then stepped into the court.
Their eyes fell on the leather shoes on Colin's feet, and the eyes of several black children also flashed with confidence.
…
"...Police officer, can you tell us the development of the case?"
"No comment."
"Police officer, this is the eleventh murder case so far. What do you want to say about this?"
"No comment."
"Officer, there are rumors that all this is the work of vampires. Some people think that the newly established Thunder Task Force should be involved in the investigation. What do you think about this?"
"Currently, the New York Police Department is still responsible for the case. I have nothing else to say."
At the entrance of the alley, as the investigation team arrived, the surrounding media immediately swarmed in to conduct interviews.
In this regard, the investigation team showed a silent attitude.
The investigation of the case is quite difficult. So far, they have not made any breakthroughs at all, so naturally they have not told the media.
Rejecting further interviews and inquiries from the media, the investigation team entered the accident scene amidst the sound of the camera shutter.
Snap, snap——
"27:0"
On the other side, on the court.
Colin was playing basketball, looking at the children surrounding him, and reminded him with a smile.
From the beginning, this was an unequal match.
For Colin, who has unlocked various superpowers, even if he does not use these powers, his physical strength alone is far superior to the children on the court.
Although, during the competition, he tried his best to keep his physical level at the level of ordinary people.
However, with the addition of various abilities, he still showed a crushing level on the court.
After Colin once again broke through and made a three-pointer, the black children in the game clearly recognized the huge gap between them and Colin, and simply admitted defeat.
"We surrender, sir."
