That afternoon,
Chicago Police Department, Chief's Office.
Sheriff Joe sat at his desk, patiently waiting for the chief to finish reading the case investigation. After the chief put the document back on the desk, he said,
"There are too many things wrong with this case that we received this morning. If it was just an ordinary street fight or a revenge between gangsters … it wouldn't be too much of a problem."
"But..."
At this point, he did not care about the chief's expression. Instead, he continued to speak with a frown.
"The twisted palm of one of the deceased, and the pistol in the deceased's hand that was also twisted..."
"The bullet on the ground was obviously shot at some kind of hard object that caused the deformation, and the pistols in the hands of the other three deceased who had completely emptied their magazines..."
"The four deceased who had a criminal record in the police station, except for the deceased with a twisted palm and traces of his teeth being broken by a punch, the cause of death for all of them was that their cervical vertebrae were broken by a hand..."
"My dear chief, although you must think that I'm crazy, the case we received this morning doesn't look like it was done by a human. At least... how can a normal person break someone's cervical vertebrae with their hands?"
"... Uh." The chief, who was about 50 years old and balding, looked at Sheriff Joe and said, "Could it be that the murderer has practiced some kind of martial arts?
"Can't it be that the murderer has practiced something? You know … there are many such plots in movies."
"…" Joe looked at his big brother and was almost choked to death by his words. He looked at him as if he was looking at a fool and said, "You're right.
"Can movies be trusted?"
"Yes, even if it can be trusted, there needs to be some scientific basis. If a person can break someone's cervical vertebrae with their hands, it must be some kind of technology that uses the finger as a fulcrum, which is actually similar to the principle of leverage, and strictly speaking... it's not a direct break, it's a twist!"
"But even so, even if there is such a technology, the level of strength required is not ordinary. It's not something that an ordinary person can do!"
"Besides, after the forensic investigation, the deceased's neck did not show any signs of twisting at all. It was simply broken by brute force from the outside. A normal person can never do such a thing!"
"Joe, who do you think the other party is? Superman? Or a captain? "The chief said helplessly.
"Sigh, I can't believe that you're already 40 years old and still thinking about superheroes..."
"Superheroes definitely exist!" When Joe heard this, his face turned red and he argued, "I … I've seen them before!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm here …" When the bureau chief saw Old Qiao acting like this, although he was used to it, he quickly waved his hand and said,
"Then what do you want me to do? If this case is really done by the superheroes, do I have to separate this case and tell the higher-ups that the culprit behind this case might be Disney … or Warner?"
"…" Joe was speechless.
"Don't tell me that this case is going to be left unsolved like before?"
"What else?" The bureau chief asked, "Other than these inexplicable clues, there are almost no useful and reliable clues. Can you find the superhuman behind the case, or can you find the murderer who disguised himself as a superhuman under such circumstances?"
"Judging from the traces, the victim's cervical vertebra was clearly crushed with his bare hands, but in the end, there were no fingerprints left on the victim's neck..."
"If this murderer is a guy who is obsessed with comics and disguised himself as a superhuman like in the comics when he committed the crime, then I speculate that he must have borrowed the power of some kind of technological device and disguised the device to look like a human body on the outside."
"After all, there are superheroes in comics who purely rely on the power of technology..."
"Chief, I will continue to track down the murderer behind this case..." Joe obviously did not intend to give up on this opportunity to get in touch with superhumans.
However, when he heard Joe's words, the bureau chief immediately frowned and said, "No, there are no clues in this case. No one can successfully solve it. This is an unsolved case that no one can answer!"
"Besides, the victims in this case are just gangsters. We already have a lot of criminal records on our side. This guy... deserves to die!"
"Leave it alone..." Joe said unwillingly, "What if he commits another crime? What if he really is a superhuman? Leaving him alone is tantamount to endangering the rights of lawful citizens! "
"Then we'll wait until he endangers the rights of lawful citizens!" The bureau chief said.
"Old Eli! Are you worthy of the oath you once made?! "Joe suddenly stood up from his chair angrily.
"Here! You should call me bureau chief! Joe! Give up on those unrealistic fantasies! This case is already over! If you continue to pester me, go home and go home! " Go home and reflect on yourself! "Seeing this, the director also stood up, unwilling to be outdone.
The quarrel between the two even passed through the glass wall of the office and attracted the attention of the police officers outside. However, since this was something that everyone was used to, no one took the initiative to come in and stop the fight.
After all, for many years, the sheriff and the bureau chief here would always quarrel over small matters, but it would not hurt the friendship between these two men. Quarreling... Perhaps this was how they communicated with each other.
After a long time.
Bureau Chief Eli ended the quarrel with Joe and directly ordered him to go home and reflect.
But when he looked at the case investigation documents on the table again, he quickly calmed down. Then, he looked at the busy police officers outside the office, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a mysterious number.
"Mr. Eli?"
"The case that the Chicago Police received this morning should be the masterpiece of you guys. I've just sent you the information of the case!"
"Has it been confirmed?"
"It should be. Maybe it's another guy who suddenly awakened a special ability and worships superheroes..."
"Okay, I understand. We'll send someone to investigate now, Mr. Eli … Please don't let the Chicago police officers continue to contact him. If Mr. Joe acts like that again, you should know that in order to keep it a secret …"
"Don't lay your hands on Old Joe! He doesn't know anything! He just saw you guys when he was young … "
"Mr. Eli, this isn't the first time Mr. Joe has done this …"
"I guarantee it with my career! He will definitely not give you any more trouble! I'll get someone to watch his every move! "
"Okay, then this is the last time …"
