Chapter 70: It's time for me to play

half a month later.

On February 3rd, Lake attended the first funeral in history.

John Martinez's funeral.

In the New York Cemetery Park, Lake and George and Beckett stand together, looking at Joe who is not far away, wearing black clothes and receiving comfort from everyone.

"Hey."

Lake looked at Beckett curiously: "Why don't you comfort me."

Beckett looked at Lake and curiously said, "Why don't you go, you know, Joe is your partner."

Lake shook his head and said, "I won't comfort people."

The guidelines for other people's lives are only four words.

Simple and rude.

The simpler and rude the better.

Anyone who can do it, talk as little as possible, that belongs to the villain's patent, and Lake feels that if he can speak hard, he won't make Maureen go astray.

Beckett heard these words from Lake, shook his head, got up and walked towards Joe not far away.

Lake and George stood smoking a cigarette under a tree.

"Did the court decide to prosecute?"

"This case has attracted much attention. We don't have any evidence to show that the guy who came from the head was instructed. It has been very good if it can be delayed until now."

"I know."

Lake said so.

There is no evidence, it is a perfect match made by Hydra.

The person who sent the email anonymously died of an escalation of robbery. The thief ran a red light and was hit and killed by a passing truck. There is no evidence of his death.

Joe and John’s family, John also died of the escalation of robbery, Joe was seriously injured, the two thieves were also shot to death on the spot by the police who happened to be there to hear the gunshots, and they were also dead.

As for that killer?

Ha ha.

An employee of John Martinez’s rival company anonymously reported that their boss asked the killer. A suicide note was found in the boss’s house, saying that he asked the killer for a design case of John. As for the boss, he was being arrested. The person who reported the report died the night before. As a result, he suffered a heart attack.

what?

Can the surviving Joe prove not?

Unfortunately.

Joe's testimony is vague, because Joe himself has no way to confirm whether the two thieves who shot him at the time or the later killers.

This is a ring.

Hydra can be said to be made seamless and drip-proof. It seems that all of this is telling people that all this is just a very coincidental coincidence.

And because some people have surrendered.

Just announced the resumption of the investigation of the case, the heat has decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye in this month. As for the witness who only has the name but can't find it, not many people care about it anymore.

Because the murderers have come from their heads, why do you need witnesses?

About half an hour later.

The relatives and friends who came to attend John’s funeral left one after another. The pastor who came here to preside over the funeral also received the money this time, and said to Joe God and then left.

half a month later.

The restarted Howard Stark accidental death in a car accident is reopened in a New York court.

Actually...

There is no need for a trial.

The criminal suspect Clark Malone confessed to his hit-and-run case. Although there was no physical evidence or personal evidence, he himself pleaded guilty and did not need to follow any procedures.

After only half an hour of discussion by the jury, the trial result of this case was reached.

Clark Malone was sentenced to ten years in prison.

The case that was restarted this time was declared closed again at the moment of the hammer of Judge Ye.

New York’s major media once again used this news as their front page headlines to report. Stark Industries, which is on the front line of this feast, did not accept any media interviews.

February 20th two days later.

Lake brought flowers to Joe's door on this day.

Do not misunderstand.

Lake is not interested in married women, and likewise, he doesn't think much about widows.

Joe opened the door and looked at Lake at the door, slightly stunned.

Lake handed over the flowers in his hand: "Sorry."

"...thank you."

Joe took the flowers, thanked him, and after a short silence, invited Lake into the house.

In the living room.

Joe put the flowers on the bar and looked at Lake: "I have applied for a vacation with the police inspector for a while."

Lake glanced at Joe: "Give up?"

Joe looked at Lake.

Lake said, "The real killer has not been caught yet. What? Or, you think this is a coincidence. It's not like you."

"The murderer has been sentenced."

"I know, I was in court on the day the sentence was pronounced."

"The eyewitness never seemed to exist."

"Right."

"Then, we have nothing to do."

"is it?"

Lake chuckled, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Joe: "Are you all right today, I'll take you to a place."

Joe: "……"

Stark Industrial Building.

Pepper Poz, who had been standing at the door, walked over after seeing Lake, who had gotten out of the car and had come by not far, and said, "Inspector Edwin."

Lake and Pepper shook hands, and then introduced Joe next to him: "This is Detective Joe Martinez. Come here today, there are some procedures that need to be interrupted, trouble."

Pepper smiled: "Please here."

in the meeting room.

Joe, who was sitting in the seat, looked at Lake, who was playing with the snake on his phone with his head down, and frowned: "We are here..."

Lake stretched out his hand towards Joe without raising his head to express peace of mind.

soon.

Pepper Poz walked in again.

Lake’s game has just ended.

"This is the information you need."

"Thank you."

Lake took the information that Pepper handed over and looked through it. The information was enough for the Commercial Crime Investigation Division to investigate, and then he passed it directly to Joe.

Joe took over and watched.

Christine Business Group.

This information is all documents of the Christian business group, a very confidential one, and even the testimony of several New York State legislators, to show that, in these years, Christine has been bribing them to obtain some Political convenience.

just?

Joe looked at Lake, a little bit at a loss.

Lake looked at Joe and said, "The killer who entered your door bit his tongue and committed suicide in the interrogation room. This is known from the outside, but this killer still said something when he was dying."

Joe straightened up: "What?"

Lake said: "The mission that the killer received was from this Christian business group."

This is what Olivia told him the next day.

but……

Olivia’s words are very confirmed, but unfortunately, no evidence can be produced. To solve a case, it is necessary to pay attention to evidence.

just right.

Tony Stark also received news that someone had surrendered, so he asked Pepper Poz to come and invite Lake. At Stark Manor, Tony Stark asked Lake about the authenticity of this matter.

Lake did not speak, but asked Tony Stark whether he believed the surrender.

Tony was silent for a while and shook his head.
