The Daily Life of American Drama Detective

Chapter 346 Chuck: No Spider-Man for Halloween!

The next day.

Halloween.

Mountainside villa.

"Chuck, Happy Halloween."

Justine, who was cleaning, smiled at Chuck.

"Happy Halloween."

Chuck nodded to her, made breakfast, invited her to eat with him, and then drove away.

As he was driving through Ping An Town, his attention was attracted by the loud sound of horns. He saw a car approaching quickly from behind and honked at him frantically.

"Chuck, Happy Halloween!"

After Chuck slowed down, the car behind him drove side by side with him. The car window lowered, revealing Phil Dunphy and Claire Dunphy. Their excitement was palpable.

"Happy Halloween."

Chuck still nodded and reminded: "Drive carefully."

"That's right, let's stop and talk."

Phil, who was driving, immediately accelerated past Chuck's car, then pulled over, got out of the car and walked over happily.

"Chuck, are there any activities tonight?"

While Phil and his wife, Chuck didn't get out of the car, he came over and leaned against the car window, greeting warmly: "If not, you can come to our house to play. Tonight our house will be decorated into the most interesting Halloween place in Ping'an Town."

"yes."

Even Claire, who had always been shy towards Chuck, looked at him with excitement.

no way.

The couple are ardent Halloween fans. They invest huge enthusiasm for Halloween every year and are particularly willing to spend money, time and energy to play.

"I am busy now."

Chuck shook his head.

"What could be bigger today than Halloween?"

Claire changed from her past quiet and reserved attitude when facing Chuck, and became full of anger.

"A murder occurred in front of Mai's Supermarket."

Chuck said expressionlessly.

"A murder case."

Claire was stunned for a moment, and then said to her husband thoughtfully: "Phil, do you think this is a clue? Adding murder elements to our original arrangement will definitely be more novel and terrifying. After all, the unknown is the greatest

The horror! Awesome! yes!”

The more she talked, the more excited she became.

"Claire, this is a murder case."

Relatively speaking, Phil was more normal. He glanced at Chuck awkwardly, pushed his wife and reminded him: "Someone was killed."

"I know I know."

Claire agreed perfunctorily, and the whole person was immersed in the imagination of how to use this latest hot spot to add splendor to her scary Halloween.

"Chuck, don't worry, Claire is not like this usually, she is very caring."

Phil could only keep explaining to his wife, fearing that Chuck would have a problem with Clay and, by extension, the whole family.

"I know."

Chuck glanced at Claire, nodded, and reminded: "I'm going to the scene."

"oh oh."

Under Chuck's gaze, Phil also reacted and pulled his wife, who was lost in fantasy, away from Chuck's car.

"etc!"

Claire was pulled away for a few steps, then came to her senses, pushed her husband away, came to Chuck's car window again, and asked curiously: "Who is the victim? How did he die?"

"The victim was an escort guard."

Chuck looked at her expressionlessly: "Died from emptying the magazine."

"Oh, I understand, thank you."

Even Claire, who had a drastic change in personality when she was caught up in the Halloween craze, returned to some normality under Chuck's direct gaze, thanked her sarcastically and stepped aside.

At this moment, a car came from the opposite direction and blocked Chuck's car.

"Hi Phil Claire."

In the car was another member of Modern Family, Claire's brother, the red-haired lawyer Mickey. He poked his head out and said hello to his sister and brother-in-law who were standing on the roadside, and then pretended to realize that Chuck was also there.

, with a slightly exaggerated expression: "Hi, Chuck, you're here too."

"So cool Spider-Man!"

Phil quickly walked over and looked at Mickey in the driver's seat who was wearing a Spider-Man suit. He couldn't help but admire him. As he spoke, he started touching it without anyone noticing.

"Are your muscles real? Does the gym really have an effect?"

"uh-huh!"

Mickey wanted to pretend that those were real Spider-Man muscles that he got after going to the gym to work out, and they were definitely not fake muscles stuffed with fillers, but under Chuck's gaze, he concealed them guiltily.

"I have always wanted to wear various Y uniforms to work on Halloween, but the previous working environment was too boring and old-fashioned, and they didn't like it, so I never succeeded. This time I was transferred to a new place and became a new employee, and then I

I heard that my colleagues all wear uniforms to work. I am a newcomer, so of course I have to follow the crowd."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chuck, but when Chuck's phone rang and connected, he glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "No Spider-Man!"

"I won't disturb you anymore."

Spider-Man Mickey originally puffed up his chest to show off his Spider-Man style. After all, when he put on this suit in front of the dressing mirror this morning, his partner Cameron stood behind him and looked at him with admiration and fascination, which gave him enough confidence.

But now, he was completely ruined by Chuck's words. He shrank down in an instant, started the car, and left in despair.

Chuck started the car and left without giving Phil and Claire a chance to strike up a conversation again. He listened to Lisa, the big Texas girl on the other end of the phone, ask puzzledly.

"Boss, didn't you ask me to ask the all-powerful netizens for help? Many of them said that wearing tight clothes with a body like mine is particularly tempting. Coupled with Spider-Man's fame and cross-dressing, it is very tempting. Why not?

"

"Because someone has ruined Spider-Man's y!"

Chuck said bluntly.

In his previous life, he did like to watch various female Spider-Man characters, until he clicked on a new Western Spider-Man anime trailer, and was immediately left speechless by the new Spider-Man who was obsessed with gender.

The comments are all about not looking at the face, but I think this figure is fine, but what kind of pressure does it put on the real version?

Now seeing Mickey wearing a Spider-Man suit, and hearing that Lisa, the big Texas girl, was also preparing Spider-Man, Chuck immediately recalled the unpleasant experiences in his previous life, and decisively stopped Lisa, the big Texas girl, from trying.

It’s not impossible to try it in the future.

But not this year!

And the Spider-Man suit cannot be the classic Spider-Man. Next year, he will specially create a ghost spider suit for the big Texas girl Lisa.

"Catwoman then?"

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, saw Chuck's resolute attitude and secretly hated the bastard who ruined her idea of ​​getting the number one idea by asking for help from the all-powerful netizen, so she could only tell her the number two idea.

"Can!"

Chuck agreed directly.

Catwoman and Batman go well together.

And with the perfect figure of Texas girl Lisa, wearing the Catwoman uniform is definitely more classic than Anne Hathaway's.

After all, in the field of tights, he is the invincible king!

At the entrance of Mai's Supermarket.

"Chuck, you're here."

The naturally dumb Chief Randy Tischer was leading people around the crime scene. When he saw Chuck driving over, he immediately went to greet him.

"I've already told you about the situation. Let me tell you what I just discovered."

Randy smiled and wanted to show off.

"good."

Chuck didn't refuse.

"The victim was an escort driver. He went out to buy something in a mall and was immediately robbed of his gun and then emptied the magazine."

Randi, who was naturally stunned, began to say: "But the escort truck was empty, and I have already asked the cashier who witnessed the murderer fleeing. She said that the murderer did not check the escort truck at all, so the murderer's purpose was not to rob.

Chuck, am I right?"

"uncertain."

Chuck shook his head: "It's also possible that this was the first time the criminal committed a robbery. He had no experience. He originally wanted to hijack the driver, but failed. After grabbing the driver's gun, he emptied the magazine in a panic. Then he forgot everything in fear and only thought about it.

get away."

"Well."

Randy was stunned and suddenly felt very disappointed.

"Don't be disappointed, I'm just talking about a possibility."

Chuck said: "What you said is more likely. The murderer probably didn't kill for robbery."

"Why?"

A police officer asked curiously.

"Because if it was for robbery, then he could rob the supermarket inside."

Chuck looked at Mai's Mall: "For such a large mall, with so much traffic on Halloween, the cash reserves will reach a considerable level.

Today, anyone who wears any kind of clothing will not arouse anyone's suspicion. He can cover his face with Y and then rob a supermarket with a gun.

Given the proficiency of the supermarket staff, they will definitely be very cooperative. They may even help to appease the customers, persuade the customers who want to act bravely not to be impulsive, and provide them with the best way to escape.

After all, in the eyes of these staff, this is just a job. Shopping malls and supermarkets also buy insurance, and during the holidays, people always have to purchase New Year goods through various channels.

These are all factors that are very beneficial to robbers who want to rob, but if you watch the news more, you should know who to choose between robbing a supermarket or robbing an escort driver with a gun."

"..."

Randy and the police officer on the side twitched when they heard this, but they had to admit that what Chuck said was right.

“People always have to purchase New Year’s goods through various channels.”

When the young police officer recited Chuck's words, he always felt that there was a strong sense of black humor: "This sentence is so classic! If it is captured on video, would it be better to add some festive BGM to make it more interesting?"

"Randy, keep going!"

Chuck did not continue to comment on this hell joke that he heard from netizens in his previous life, but motioned to Randy, who was in a daze, to continue.

"continue?"

Randy was a little discouraged, but under Chuck's gaze, he cheered up and led Chuck to look at a cigarette butt next to the victim: "This is a cigarette for quitting smoking, and the victim himself is a smoker, there is no smoke at all."

It means quitting smoking, so this is not the victim’s own, but most likely the murderer’s.”

"correct."

Chuck nodded: "The victim is a full-time escort driver with a gun and has received professional training. The murderer did not give him a chance to resist at all. He directly grabbed the gun and emptied the magazine. Unless it was powerful enough to kill the victim in an instant, it would not be possible.

The probability is that someone without martial arts will cheat and attack by surprise.

This quit smoking cigarette is probably a tool used by the murderer to confuse the victim.

He approached the victim on the pretext of borrowing fire, then took the victim off guard, grabbed the gun and emptied the magazine."

"Aside from gunshot wounds, there are indeed no other signs of a fight on the victim's body."

Randy nodded: "The cashier who saw this scene also said that after the victim bought something, he went out while eating chocolate. Within a minute, gunfire rang out, and when he hid and looked outside, he saw

The murderer emptied the magazine and ran away."

"There's no video in the supermarket?"

Chuck asked.

"Of course."

Randy answered: "Our people have contacted the supermarket and obtained all the videos."

"Go in and have a look."

Chuck said and walked directly to the supermarket.

"Now?"

Randy followed: "Why don't you go back to the police station and see again?"

"There's no time to waste."

Chuck glanced at him: "Shalena didn't have any activities with you tonight?"

"Of course... I understand. Let's get it done immediately. Don't affect the evening activities!"

Randy was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He thought of his wife and immediately understood what he should do.

"These are all the videos in the mall these days."

The manager took them into the manager's room and showed them the computer.

"Step aside."

No need for Chuck to tell him, Randy already knew what to do, sat down and started operating the computer.

"Retrieve the video of the three minutes before the incident."

Chuck stood behind Randy and ordered: "Show all perspectives."

"There are many cameras in supermarkets. If they are all exposed, the picture will be too small on this kind of computer and cannot be seen clearly."

The manager reminded.

"that is you!"

The young police officer laughed and said: "This is Detective Chuck. Even if you double the number of cameras and shrink them all on one screen, he can still see everything clearly."

"All right."

The manager shrugged, not believing it at all.

"here!"

Chuck ignored them and pointed directly at a camera: "He is the murderer!"

"found it?"

When Randy heard this, he was shocked. He quickly operated the computer and played the small screen to full screen. He saw the victim eating chocolate and talking dirty to the female cashier. Behind him, on the cashier next door, was a bald man with eyes.

Looking at him nervously.

"That's right, this look is him!"

Randy was also a veteran police officer for many years, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this person: "Manager, pull out this person's credit card information, I want to know who he is!"

"He paid in cash, not by credit card."

The manager couldn't help but remind him.

"Step aside."

Chuck said suddenly.

"me?"

Randy was feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this and felt relieved. He quickly jumped up and gave up his position to Chuck.

Chuck quickly operated on the computer and pulled up a video surveillance clue of the bald murderer entering the mall earlier in the morning. When Chuck connected these together, Randy and the others were shocked: "holy shit!"

"No!"

Compared to Randy and others' shock, the supermarket manager screamed out in horror.

But they saw this bald murderer entering the supermarket, wandering around in various areas, and then came to the snack area. Looking at the Neptune brand chocolate, he took out a large handful of the same chocolate from his pocket and put it in.

"What does he want to do?"

Randy said in shock.

"The perpetrator was clearly putting the problematic Neptune chocolate inside in an attempt to poison those who purchased the Neptune chocolate."

Chuck took out a disinfectant tissue from his pocket to wipe his hands and said, "Today is Halloween. Once these candies get spread and fall into the pockets of children who come to ask for them at night, the consequences will be disastrous."
