Chapter 68: Someone came up

Lake left after telling Tony Stark that the name of the new witness appeared.

Tony is not familiar with him, naturally, it is impossible to directly order Jarvis to hack into the major databases to scan the witness in front of him.

This operation is illegal.

So Lake just turned around and left.

The car quickly left the somewhat exaggerated manor behind him.

New Amsterdam Hospital.

Lake parked the car in the parking lot, thinking about something thoughtfully.

such as...

What does this guy who hides behind the scenes and uses some unscientific means to make this happen?

Is it Tony Stark’s extraordinary relative, because of the extraordinary and secular agreement, so, can only use this method to restart the investigation of this case?

But I found me for Mao.

Lake was puzzled. Again, there are many law enforcement agencies that can restart the Howard Stark case. The New York Police Department is not the best choice, because the scene of the accident was not in New York, or even in New York. In the state, the New York Police Department does not have the same iron jurisdiction over this case.

Is the person behind this scene staring at me?

is Mao.

Let him establish a good social relationship with Tony Stark because of this incident?

Is it neurotic?

Lake blinked.

Two days later.

New Amsterdam Hospital Intensive Care Unit.

Lake looked at Joe, who was lying on the bed with a tube in his breath, and tilted his head.

Joe's heart should not be as quiet as it appeared, his eyebrows frowned, as if he was experiencing some terrible nightmare.

"Lake."

"Becket."

Lake turned his head and greeted Beckett who came in: "How is the investigation?"

Not only Tony Stark is looking for this witness named Bruce Relfe, but George from one group and Beckett from the second group are also looking for Lake.

It's only been two days, no progress.

Even in the country's largest supermarket chain customer information database, there is no such person named Bruce Ralph.

This Bruce Ralph is like a ghost, it doesn't exist.

Beckett shook his head, and then said: "The police station has communicated with the police stations across the country. Whether it is called Bruce or Ralph, police officers have already come to investigate. As long as there is an overlap in time, We will find it."

Lake nodded.

For the current plan, there is only one way. Now I can only pray that the federal agent did not lie or misremembered the people, and this Bruce Ralph did not change his name and surname.

at this time.

Joe on the hospital bed suddenly let out a cry.

Lake's eyes lit up.

Beckett saw this and hurried out and called the doctor.

half an hour later.

The doctor walked out of the ward and looked at Lake and Beckett outside and said, "Although the patient is awake, he is still very weak and needs rest."

Lake nodded, indicating that he knew it.

enter the door.

Joe lay on the bed with a weak face, looked at Lake entering the door, and squeezed a smile: "Am I lying down for a long time?"

Lake came over and sat on the small stool beside the bed: "It's okay, the police inspector said, you are a work injury, and your salary will be paid."

Joe smiled weakly: "Did you find it?"

Lake nodded: "Of course, I am your partner."

Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

When Joe opened the package and saw the USB flash drive, just out of intuition and safety considerations, he returned to the bedroom, copied one with a notebook, and hid the red USB flash drive in the bookcase.

Not wanting but it's a mistake.

Lake smiled and said, "Fortunately, what you copied is an empty USB flash drive. Otherwise, I won't have a chance to catch the assassin who has gone back and forth."

This was confirmed by the blue USB flash drive found from the assassin's body. The USB flash drive was empty.

Joe blinked: "Empty? I just made a copy, how could it be possible."

Lake was taken aback for a moment: "Are you sure?"

Joe nodded affirmatively: "I just copied the USB flash drive in the bedroom, and put it away when I return to the study. When I am about to call you, someone will come in, John is..."

Speaking of this, Joe paused, then looked at Lake: "By the way, Lake, what about John? How is he now?"

Lake opened his mouth.

Joe saw it, as if he knew something, his eyes narrowed, and his expression was a little incredulous.

followed.

Connected to Joe, the device responsible for monitoring all the data of Joe's body screamed instantly.

Thirty seconds later.

Lake was kicked out of the ward by the doctor who came.

followed.

Lake and Beckett were both kicked out of the intensive care floor together.

downstairs parking lot.

Lake and Beckett looked at each other for a while, shook their heads, Lake took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Where's that killer, he still doesn't speak?"

Baker nodded characteristically.

Lake took a deep breath and walked towards his vehicle: "You stay here."

finished.

Lake got in the car and drove directly out of the hospital.

half an hour later.

The black house of the police station.

"Inspector!"

"Ok."

Lake looked at the two police officers who had been guarding the small black room for 24 hours and nodded, then pushed the door directly and walked in.

The assassin's hands and feet were all tied up, with rags in his mouth, he was firmly bound to the iron stool.

The killer looked at Lake who walked in, with a trace of fear flashing in the depths of his eyes, and he quickly recovered to his deadly expression.

Lake looked up at the monitor in the corner.

The green light of the monitor flickered for a while and turned into a red dot.

Lake laughed, then looked at the killer expressionlessly: "I know you won't confess your messenger behind the scenes, but it's okay. If you are alive, you don't say it, and you will definitely say it when you die."

The killer was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Lake.

ten minutes later.

Lake went out and rang the alarm.

Police officers from the police station rushed over soon, and Superintendent Montgomery also came, but in the interrogation room, the killer rolled his eyes and died on the seat, his mouth dripping with blood, and a piece of his tongue fell to the floor with a crackle. on.

It is clear.

The killer bit his tongue and committed suicide.

A police officer at the monitoring room accidentally caused a short circuit when heating food in a microwave oven because of the aging of the wiring.

soon.

The killer's body was transferred to the autopsy room.

The coroner Olivia looked at the fresh flesh that was sent, with a strong expression in his eyes.

Lake looked directly at Olivia: "Olivia, I need a message, even if it’s just a personal name."

What?

Olivia raised her head, her big eyes flashed suddenly, and looked at Lake in a daze.

Lake said: "Joe was seriously injured and went back to the hospital. Her husband John was killed."

Olivia nodded.

Lake turned and left.

at this time.

Lake's phone rang.

George’s.

"Lake, come up soon, someone is coming up."

"…What?"

"..."
