After Locke and Gwen heard Helen's exclamation from downstairs, they hurried down.
In the living room, Helen held the phone and covered her mouth with a pained expression, looking at Gwen who came down the stairs.
Locke was heartbroken.
Wouldn't it be George who played GG?
good guy.
Butterfly effect, did the curtain call early?
Locke thought so in his heart, as if he had seen that in the near future, there will be a picture of an alcoholic who is eating George's pension and beating his baby holding Helen.
George…
Locke felt sadness in his heart. Although he had thought about chopping George, he had been with him for so long, and sometimes it was quite joyful to see the picture of George saying "I will definitely catch the Peerless Assassin".
There will be no more joy like this!
but…
Helen hummed into the phone, then, after hanging up, looked at Gwen: "Jeff is dead."
Locke recovered.
Jeff?
who is he?
Some kind of nickname for George?
Gwen was stunned for a moment, and seemed to know who Jeff was, but also made a surprised expression: "Uncle Jeff, how could it be?"
Helen shook her head: "Torris doesn't know yet, put on your clothes and let's go over now."
Toris is Jeff's wife, and Jeff, a member of the New York Police Department, is also the police officer who just reported that a police officer was shot. At the same time, Jeff is also George's before he became a police inspector. partner.
Off the assembly line tonight is Jeff.
In an unmonitored alley on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
George hung up the phone with his wife, his face darkened instantly, turned around, and returned to the alley.
The atmosphere in the alley is 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 the 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 was stabbed more than a dozen times. By that time, Jeff had no chance of surviving.
On Jeff's feet, a brand name like bronzing was very conspicuous.
A notice identical to the one used by Locke.
"Notice"
"Name: Jeff Martin"
"Crime: Abuse of Violence, Corruption"
"Execute the death penalty! 』
George bent down and picked up the notice with his gloved right hand, staring at the crime marked on it, his eyes twinkling.
at this time.
"Brent, the Inspector is..."
"Go away!"
"cloth…"
Accompanied by a low-pitched angry voice, a man in a leather jacket who seemed to be middle-aged bald, but even if he was bald, was surprisingly handsome, with a low voice and a manly temperament, a man in a leather jacket pushed him away and stopped in front of him. The patrolman walked directly into the alley.
Jason Brent, the detective of the New York Police Department, was originally from the Eighth Bureau. Because of the promotion of George Stacy, he was transferred from the Eighth Bureau to the General Bureau and became Jeff's new partner.
but…
Jason Brout is a violent temper. He has been repeatedly complained and published in newspapers for beating up unlawful people. George, as his boss, has always been a little annoyed and helpless about this.
without him.
Jason is not following the rules, but Jason is a great police detective, and because of this, George is under the pressure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to protect Jason.
"Fake!"
Jason's eyes focused on Jeff, who had no signs of life. He cursed like a volcano that was about to explode, wiped his face, punched his right fist, and slammed it on the wall with a bang: " Fake, Fake, Fake!"
George called a police officer with a blank face: "Check out Jeff's file."
The policeman nodded.
Jason slammed his eyes and landed on George who was holding the notice, squinting his eyes: "Don't you think that what is said above is true?"
George looked at Jason: "I believe it's useless. Since the sin hunter has given it, we will investigate."
Jason seemed to be trying to restrain his roar: "Why don't you believe in our own people?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the nearby police officers fell on George unintentionally 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 newspapers will label Jeff as the black policeman described on the notice, check, it's not that I don't believe Jeff, but we want to give Jeff a clean slate!"
This will certainly not be the masterpiece of the peerless assassin.
In fact.
George knew from the murder of the couple that it was a copycat crime, and he was sure that the one who killed Jeff was definitely not a peerless assassin. He knew exactly what kind of person Jeff was.
but…
George's eyes fell on the notice in his hand, and he found Kate who also arrived, handed the notice over, and said carefully: "Same as last time, send it to the forensic department for analysis."
Jason, who was standing next to him, thought that George had handed the case to Kate, and his temper surged again: "I'll take over this case!"
After George and Kate finished their orders, they glanced at Jason and nodded: "Okay, you and Kate are in charge of this case together."
Done.
George turned away.
Jeff is his good friend, and he doesn't want people from the police department's funeral department to knock on Jeff's door: "Notify all the guys in the serious crime team, cancel the vacation, and be on standby 24 hours a day!"
"Yes!"
"clear."
Many police officers roared when they heard George's words.
No one can survive the killing of a police officer.
No one can!
Not even an unparalleled assassin.
After a New York police officer was killed, then, congratulations to the murderer, he successfully opened the mission "Rage of New York" on **** level difficulty!
Before the murderer is caught, the 30,000, nearly 40,000 New York police officers in New York City will be completely awakened, even if they need to knock on doors from house to house, they will not hesitate.
Boom!
After George got out of the car, he looked up and looked at the sky where the thunder suddenly sounded. His face was filled with anger. With anger, he knocked on the door of his friend's house and told his friend's wife that it was not an excellent choice.
Locke and Gwen and Helen were already at Jeff's door.
no way.
There was a murderer wandering outside, and Locke felt that it would be better to **** him himself.
but…
The three of Locke didn't go in, because George just called and waited for him to come.
After George came over, he hugged Helen, then glanced at Locke, nodded, gestured, and walked towards Jeff's door.
Locke stood behind.
Gwen looked at Locke who didn't move, and came over: "Aren't you going in?"
I don't even know this Jeff.
What Locke wanted to say was this sentence, but after organizing the language, he shook his head and said, "I don't like this kind of scene very much."
This is also true.
He couldn't imagine knocking on someone's door, and then telling his family, I'm sorry, your husband is gone, what kind of mental fluctuations this scene, this scene, and what kind of psychological fluctuations.
Gwen was stunned for a moment, but also smiled reluctantly, looking over there, the door had already opened, and then, seeing George and Helen, there was a look of surprise and joy on his face, and then his expression instantly turned towards disbelief and Helen. Tao Ruisi, who was transferred in great grief, said in a low voice, "When Dad didn't become a police inspector or a police detective, Mom, almost every time Dad came back, he would fall asleep. Every time Dad went out, When the doorbell rang, Mom would always stop for a few seconds before opening the door."
At first, Gwen didn't quite understand why.
later…
Gwen also understood why and watched George's back: "After I found out, I once got angry with my father and asked him to change jobs, but my father said that someone has to do this job, and others, too Has a daughter."
Some things, there is always someone to do.
We can't see the darkness, just because someone stands on the edge of the light and blocks that darkness for us.
Locke frowned.
That's why he never strikes at innocents.
Guilty, death will be punished. Under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. The money and other things he summoned with his guilt, his family has naturally enjoyed it. In this case, maybe his family is not guilty of death, but they are. No matter how you think, it has nothing to do with Locke.
But innocent, Locke can't think like that.
so.
Locke controls his bottom line not to kill innocents. Even if he encountered several mounted police in Texas, Locke never shot and killed any guardian 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, and smiled at Locke's eyes: "So, Dad has always been a hero in my heart, 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 was certain that Locke would 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 when she and Locke are old, they will be heroes who protect them both.
"Let's go. UU reading "
Gwen grabbed Locke's right hand and said, "I need my hero, stay by my side."
Locke returned to his senses and nodded.
Enter the room.
There was a cry from the sofa in the living room.
but…
The woman named Tao Ruisi twitched, took the tissue from Helen next to her, stared at George with her completely red eyes, and said in a low voice, stabilizing her emotions, "Who, who is so cruel. "
George was silent for a while and said, "We're not sure yet, but... the notice was found at the scene!"
Locke, who was closing the door with Gwen and preparing to come, raised his eyebrows.
What? ? ? ?
