A Certain Marvel Super Player

After Locke and Gwen heard Helen's exclamation downstairs, they ran down quickly.

In the living room, Helen held the phone in her hand, covering her mouth with a somewhat painful expression, and looked at Gwen coming down the stairs.

Locke was heartbroken.

Could it be that George played GG?

Good guy.

Butterfly effect, early curtain call?

Locke thought in his mind, as if he had already seen the scene in the near future of an alcoholic who was eating George's pension and beating his child, hugging Helen.

George…

Locke felt sad in his heart. Although he had thought about chopping up George, at least they had been together for so long. Watching George say, "I will definitely catch the unparalleled assassin", sometimes he was quite happy.

There will be no such joy in the future!

but……

Helen hummed into the phone, then, after hanging up the phone, looked at Gwen: "Jeff is dead."

Locke came to his senses.

Jeff?

who is he?

Some kind of pet name for George?

Gwen was slightly startled, as if she knew who Jeff was, and she also made a surprised expression: "Uncle Jeff, how could that be?"

Helen shook her head: "Tauris doesn't know yet, put on your clothes and we'll go there now."

Tauris is Jeff's wife, and Jeff is a member of the New York Police Department. He was also the police officer who was shot when he just reported that a police officer was shot. At the same time, Jeff was also George's police officer before he became a police inspector. Partner.

It's Jeff who's off the line tonight.

In an unmonitored alley on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

George hung up the phone with his wife, his face instantly darkened, turned around, and returned to the alley.

The atmosphere in the alley was very depressing.

Although more than twenty police officers were present at this moment, the scene was surprisingly quiet.

obviously.

They were all angry.

Next to a trash can in an alley, the police officer named Jeff leaned his head weakly against the trash can behind him. He had three bullet holes in his body and more than a dozen stab wounds. The first patrol officer who found him rushed to the scene. By the time they arrived, Jeff had no chance of survival.

On Jeff's feet, a brand name that looks like hot stamping is particularly conspicuous.

A notice identical to the one used by Locke.

Notification

Name: Jeff Martin

Crimes: Indiscriminate violence, corruption

Execution! 』

George bent down and picked up the notice with his gloved right hand, his eyes twinkling as he stared at the crime marked on it.

at this time.

"Brent, the inspector is here..."

"Get away!"

"cloth……"

Accompanied by a low and angry voice, a man in a leather jacket who looked like he was middle-aged and bald, but even if he was bald, was surprisingly handsome, with a deep voice and full of masculine temperament, pushed him aside and blocked him. The patrolman walked directly into the alley.

Jason Brent, a New York Police Department detective, was originally from the Eighth Precinct. Because of George Stacey's promotion, he was transferred from the Eighth Precinct to the main bureau and became Jeff's new partner.

but……

Jason Brault has a bad temper. He has been complained and published in newspapers for beating people who do not obey the law. As his boss, George has always been a little annoyed and helpless about this.

Nothing else.

Jason is unruly, but Jason is a great police detective. Because of this, George resisted the pressure of the Internal Affairs Department and protected Jason to the death.

"Farke!"

Jason's eyes were fixed on Jeff, who had no signs of life. He cursed angrily like a volcano about to explode, wiped his face, and hit the wall with his right fist with a bang: " Farke, Farke, Farke!”

George called a police officer expressionlessly: "Get Jeff's file."

The officer nodded.

Jason's eyes flickered and fell on George, who was holding the notice. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't you think that what is said here is true?"

George looked at Jason: "I believe it's useless. Since the Sin Hunter gave it to him, we have to investigate."

Jason seemed to be trying hard to restrain his roar: "You fucking don't trust our own people?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the nearby police officers fell on George intentionally or unintentionally.

George's expression still did not change: "Jeff is your partner, but don't forget, he is also my partner. I know best what kind of person Jeff is, but if we are not bad, tomorrow's The newspaper will label Jeff as the criminal policeman described in the notice, check, it’s not that I don’t believe Jeff, it’s that we have to give Jeff a clean slate!”

This certainly won't be the work of a peerless assassin.

In fact.

George knew that this was a copycat crime in the murder case of the couple. He was also sure that the person who killed Jeff must not be the Peerless Assassin. He knew best what kind of person Jeff was.

but……

George's eyes fell on the notice in his hand. Kate, who had also arrived, handed the notice over and said carefully: "Same as last time, send it to the forensics department for analysis."

Jason, who was standing nearby, thought George had handed over the case to Kate, and his temper rose again: "I'll take over this case!"

After George and Kate finished their instructions, they glanced at Jason and nodded: "Okay, you and Kate will be responsible for this case together."

Finished.

George turned and left.

Jeff was his good friend, and he didn't want people from the funeral department of the police station to knock on Jeff's door: "Notify all the guys in the major crime team to cancel their vacations, and everyone is on call 24 hours a day!"

"yes!"

"clear."

Many police officers roared angrily when they heard George's words.

No one can kill a police officer and still get away with it.

No one can!

Not even a peerless assassin.

After a New York police officer was killed, congratulations to the murderer for successfully starting the hell-level mission "Wrath of New York"!

Before the police murderer is caught, the more than 30,000 to nearly 40,000 New York police officers in New York City will be completely awakened. Even if they need to knock on doors and break down doors, they will not hesitate.

Boom!

After George got out of the car, he looked up and looked at the suddenly thunderous sky. He put away the anger on his face and knocked on the door of his friend's house with anger. Telling his friend's wife that this was not an excellent choice.

Locke, Gwen, and Helen were already at Jeff's door.

no way.

There was a murderer wandering around outside, and Locke thought it would be better to escort him himself.

but……

The three Locke people did not go in because George had just called and was waiting for him to come over.

After George came over, he hugged Helen, then glanced at Locke, nodded, gestured, and walked towards the door of Jeff's house.

Locke stood behind.

Gwen looked at Locke who was not moving and walked over: "Aren't you going in?"

I don't even know this Jeff.

This is what Locke wanted to say, but after organizing his words, he shook his head and said, "I don't like this scene very much."

This is also true.

He couldn't imagine knocking on someone's door and telling their family members, "I'm sorry, your husband is gone." This image, this scene, and what kind of psychological shock it would be.

Gwen was stunned for a moment, and smiled reluctantly. She looked over there and saw that the door had been opened. Then, when she saw George and Helen, her face showed a hint of surprise and joy at first, and then her expression instantly turned towards disbelief and disbelief. Tauris, who was in a state of great sadness, whispered: "When my father was still a police detective before he became a police inspector, my mother almost always had to wait until my father came back before she would fall asleep. Every time my father went out, When the doorbell rang, Mom would always stop where she was for a few seconds before opening the door.”

At first, Gwen didn't quite understand why.

later……

Gwen also understood the reason for this and looked at George's back: "After I found out, I got angry with my father once and asked him to change jobs, but my father said that there must be someone to do the job, and others, too. One who has a daughter.”

There are always things that someone has to do.

We cannot see the darkness, just because someone stands on the edge of the light and blocks the darkness for us.

Locke frowned.

This is why he never attacks innocent people.

The guilty will deserve to die. Under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. His family has naturally enjoyed the money and other things he summoned with his guilt. In this case, maybe his family is not guilty enough to die, but they No matter what he thinks, it has nothing to do with Locke.

But innocent people, Locke can't think like this.

so.

Locke controlled his bottom line of not killing innocent people. Even when he encountered several mounted police raids in Texas, Locke never shot any of the guardians who stood in the light and resisted the darkness.

Gwen looked at George and Helen who had already entered the room, held Locke's right hand, smiled at Locke's eyes and said, "So, Dad has always been my hero, and Locke, you are also my hero."

Every woman has three heroes who protect her in her life.

As a child, George was Gwen's hero.

grown up.

Gwen is very sure that Locke will be the second hero in her life.

As for the third one.

Gwen believes that in the future, her child will also be a hero. When he grows up, and she and Locke are old, he will be a hero who protects them both.

"Let's go."

Gwen grabbed Locke's right hand and said, "I need my hero to be by my side."

Locke came to his senses and nodded.

Enter the room.

There was a cry from the sofa in the living room.

but……

The woman named Tauris twitched, took the tissue handed over by Helen next to her, looked at George with her eyes that were completely red, and said in a low voice and calming her emotions: "Who, who is so cruel. "

George was silent for a while and said: "We are not sure yet, but... a notice was found at the scene!"

Locke, who was closing the door with Gwen and preparing to walk over, raised his eyebrows.

What? ? ? ?
