Unpredictable finally found the source of familiarity!
He held Von Jackman's photo in front of him and covered Von Jackman's handsome cheeks with his thumb, as if putting a "mask" on Von Jackman...
That’s right, that’s the person!
Such a familiar feeling!
During the transaction at Roland Club in Dongcheng City, the "newcomer" who sold a large amount of Origin Stones...
Although the mask hides the appearance, there are always some clues that leave this familiar feeling, maybe because of the temperament, maybe because of the demeanor;
At that time, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the "newcomer", which came from seeing Von Jackman's photos!
Ordinary people may not be able to detect this vague and illusory feeling. I wonder if it is because of their contract ability and their sensitivity to details...
Mo Zhi picked up the information and checked it carefully again with the help of car lights.
In the photo, Von Jackman has a dark birthmark on his neck.
There is a scar from surgery on the left side of the "newcomer's" Adam's apple;
The location is exactly the same!
After Von Jackman was wanted, in order to cover up his traces, he processed the original characteristic birthmark? He is a surgeon himself, has this ability, and also has this motive...
Back then, the "newcomers" sold a large amount of Origin Stones... Only orange-level exile contractors like Von Jackman could cross Pandora's order and illegally obtain so many Origin Stones;
Is these Origin Stones being liquidated in order to collect funds to continue escaping? After all, after this case came out in Hot Springs City, Pandora may have tightened its grip on von Jackman, which forced him to set aside enough cash...
Also, when he was at the party, he wanted to buy contract items for escape and divination, or words of talisman... This was to escape...
The chaotic and scattered memories were suddenly connected together by a clue, echoing each other and making sense to each other, making Mo Zhi suddenly feel enlightened.
This can almost be confirmed. The "newcomer" at that time was von Jackman!
The scalpel himself!
Thinking of trying to follow this guy at that time, cold sweat suddenly flowed from his forehead;
This guy looked casual during the transaction, but after it was over, he returned to his cold demeanor, deliberate and sensitive, obviously always alert to the surrounding environment;
Fortunately it was not discovered;
That is a wanted criminal in the entire alliance, an orange-level contractor!
It's the equivalent of a face-to-face encounter with death.
Seeing the sudden change in Mu Zhi's expression, Uncle Cat asked with concern: "What's wrong? The consumption of orange-level contract items is too high?"
"No..." Just as Mozhi was about to speak, Douglas saw Mozhi's face clearly in the light: "Why do you look so haggard?"
Having been in the shadows just now, Douglas didn't notice the unpredictable changes. Of course, he didn't know his own changes... At this time, seeing the unpredictable changes under the car lights, he couldn't help but ask.
Douglas didn't answer. He stared at Vera and Uncle Cat with unpredictable eyes, and said in a solemn voice: "The scalpel is not in Hot Spring City, at least not last night."
"The death of Deputy Director of the Public Security Department Li Gang should have nothing to do with von Jackman..."
Li Gang's death time was around 25:00 last night. At that time, von Jackman was still in Dongcheng City. He had an almost perfect alibi. Unless he had a "teleportation" ability similar to Lu Yang's, he could not cross the 800-mile distance from Dongcheng City to Hot Spring City.
A spatial distance of many kilometers.
The five people and one cat were stunned when they heard the unpredictable words...
This is almost equivalent to overturning all the previous speculations. The "suspect" from the beginning was wrong. Li Gang was not killed with a scalpel. What about Mills Federo?
"Why do you say that?" Vera and Aubrey Bacon looked at each other and asked at the same time.
"I was at the Roland Club, the contractor activity venue in East City last night, and I felt familiar with a person wearing a mask... I just saw the photo of Von Jackman again, and then I realized that it was probably the same person!
"Muzhi told the truth, just to clarify his thoughts as soon as possible and solve the problem at hand, and did not mention the contractor gathering.
"...Are you sure?" Uncle Cat asked.
"I can't be sure, the other party is wearing a mask..." Mo Ce took a deep breath and calmed down: "But the intuition is conclusive, and the direction of the search ruler points to Dongcheng City!"
"The scalpel is probably still lingering in Dongcheng City."
"This shows that the direction of the search ruler is correct. If this is the case..." Vera crossed her arms: "We may have been wrong from the beginning..."
"The murderer may not be Scalpel von Jackman!"
"However, unpredictable intuition is just intuition after all, and there is no actual evidence..." Aubrey Bacon objected.
After all, there is no evidence for unpredictable remarks. Punishers handle cases based on evidence, not intuition... It is reasonable to have doubts.
"What should we do next?" Uncle Cat asked when he saw several people fell silent and looked around at the Punisher team members.
Vera frowned and pondered for a few seconds: "If the direction was wrong from the beginning and the scalpel was not our target, then... who did Li Gang's death?"
"And Mills Federo, why did the real murderer disguise himself as a scalpel and kill these two people one after another?"
"Of course there is someone else..." Uncle Cat said, "The motive is unknown!"
"I will immediately notify Dongcheng City and ask Lu Yang and the others to search for the scalpel... After all, the other party still has wanted criminals for whom Pandora is offering a reward." Vera made a quick decision:
"Let's find the real murderer."
After that, the captain took out part of Li Gang's body remains from the information bag... Luo Qing next to him realized what she was going to do and stretched out his hand to block:
"Let me do it, you save your strength... the real murderer is probably also a contractor!"
"You also have to fight..." Just as Vera was about to argue, she saw fluctuations in the symbol source coming from Luo Qing's hand, and orange light shone again as he resisted the search for Li Gang's remains...
Luo Qing is at least at the red level, and his blue energy is naturally not as high as that of Douglas and Mozhi. His face is just slightly pale, and he can't see any signs of weakness...
This guy really takes great care of Vera.
The horizontal arm of the search ruler that stopped swinging pointed steadily to the north-east, to the eastern area of Hot Spring City.
"The real murderer of Li Gang is still in Hot Spring City." Vera looked stern:
"Let's go! Let's go back."
With an order, the car turned around...
More than half an hour later, a factory appeared in the distance in front of her field of vision. Vera drove around the factory in a distant circle, and the pointer of the search ruler pointed toward the inside of the factory as if attracted by a magnet.
right here!
Vera's light blue eyes flashed, and she used the "communication" on her hand to inform everyone: "Get off the car and stay hidden."
In order not to alert others, the car stopped one kilometer away from the factory. Several people got out of the car and walked through the dark night, hiding in the bushes in front of the factory.
"This seems to be a branch of Lei Mingdeng Company. I've been here before..." Uncle Cat lowered his voice and said softly.
"I remember that Thunderden Company was probably acquired by Mills Federo..."
The murderer of Li Gang was hiding in the factory of the previous victim... Two cases similar to those written by von Jackman were inexplicably connected.
"The target can imitate the scalpel and should be a contractor. If you let the spirit puppet's symbol go in and investigate, you will be discovered." Vera turned to look at Uncle Cat:
"You still have to go through the trouble of going in."
"Meow~" Uncle Cat meowed. Without turning on the hidden cat, Ling jumped out of the bushes like a wild cat. He hid in the darkness under the factory wall and walked slowly forward. Finally, he found a gap in the wall and got through.
Go in.
Disappeared in front of everyone...
In the dark night, through the factory walls, you can see the tall factory buildings and upright chimneys inside, like giant beasts that swallow everything.
Not long after, another long-drawn meow came. The old cat appeared on the wall like a ghost, jumped out again, and crawled back into the bushes.
"I didn't dare to use communication because I was afraid that the target could feel the fluctuations in the source of symbols." Lao Mao first explained, and then went into detail:
"The lights in factory building No. 3 on the right are on, and there are three people inside...The factory has two exits, one in front and one in back, which should be the target."
After saying that, Uncle Cat used his cat's paw to draw the general direction and layout of the place...
In this case, no one is more covert and experienced than Uncle Cat!
"Three?" Aubrey Bacon frowned, feeling unexpectedly surprised by the number of enemies.
Vera looked at Aubrey Bacon: "Luo Qing and I attack the front door, you and Rebecca guard the back door, Uncle Cat, you three guard the outside, don't let them escape..."
Mozhi immediately understood the purpose of this arrangement. The four people at the front and back doors should have good combat effectiveness. Uncle Cat's abilities, as well as his own and Douglas's, were not of the combat type. They were equivalent to skimming the formation from the side.
Seeing everyone nodding, Vera did not hesitate and ran to the locked sliding iron door of the factory.
Everyone followed closely behind...
The source of symbols fluctuated in a flash, and the huge iron door several inches thick was pushed open by Vera Alexandra with one hand. The metal rollers and tracks at the bottom of the iron door bulged out with bursts of sparks...
This power... is unpredictable and secretly surprising.
Rushing through the opening of the iron gate, a group of six people and one cat rushed towards the lighted building inside and quickly approached. They were roughly divided into three directions. Vera and Luo Qing were at the front, Aubrey Bacon and Rebecca
Then he went around to the back, and Uncle Cat led Mo Zhi and Douglas to gradually stop and find cover respectively...
Mo Cai touched the "tough" uniform he was wearing under his windbreaker, felt a little relieved and crouched behind a pillar, stretched out his pistol and aimed it at the brightly lit room.
Before Vera and Luo Qing could break in, the people inside had already discovered...
"Ouch~" There was a roar in the room, and several pieces of glass were instantly shattered.
The ground in front of the rushing Luo Qing and Vera suddenly flashed with light, and the soil within three to four meters in diameter rolled and turned into a pool out of thin air.
The speeding Vera couldn't stop her legs in time, fell into the water with a splash, and lost her trace instantly;
Next to him, Luo Qing's talisman was rolling, and his whole body turned into a burst of blue smoke, floating over the pool...
Luo Qing had already drawn his pistol in mid-air, but because his body was illusory, the pistol seemed to be floating in the air in the darkness, and he fired "pop~pop~pop~" at the front door of the warehouse.
The wooden door of the building was suddenly penetrated by bullets into several holes, and the light in the room leaked through the holes...
