Chapter Seventy-Five: New York Detective and Stryker's Persuasion Plan and the Mutant Attack
It's been a while since the spider lamp was given to George Stancy. The idea of www.biquge.info spider lantern in the pen "Fun" Pavilion Li Jie naturally got inspiration from a superhero movie he had seen in his previous life.
It's a story about a playboy who wears a black mask and cloak in the dark of night in a simple city called Gotham, and becomes a vigilante policeman. Li Jie is a good idea, and it is very suitable for Spider-Man.
Of course, there are still a few changes to the searchlight thing. In the original Gotham Vigilante story, because of the simplicity of the city's people, as long as the light reflecting the shape of a flying bat shines into the sky, the criminals in the city will obediently turn themselves in.
Once in Arkham Prison, the Gotham criminals will never escape from prison. Because the light of the flying bats hung over the city, it was a mark that they would never dare to violate.
But unlike the rustic Gotham, New York's inmates are not as honest as those in Arkham Prison.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account the face of the New York police, if there is something that the police can't solve, then turn on the spider lamp and make it visible to the whole of New York. Such words would be a huge blow to the prestige of the New York police.
So after careful consideration, Li Jie considered coming up with a spider lamp that needed to be seen by special spectacle lenses.
However, it is clear that after the last time Spider-Man showed favor to Sheriff George, although George's heart was more receptive to Spider-Man's statement, and the two had a tendency to reconcile. But for the sake of the prestige of the police system. George had never actually used a spider lamp.
Of course, it is very likely that the police have not yet encountered any problems that are too difficult for them to solve.
However, this time it was possible for George to pull down his face and use the spider lamp to summon Spider-Man, which did prove that something big had happened this time, and it was likely that the police would have a lot of trouble solving it.
When Li Jie wore the costume of a nightcrawler and drove the glide wing to the location Peter was talking about. Spider-Man and George were already there.
This place is the wreckage of the Macaulay family's villa. Because it is a single-family villa, it is far away from other villas in the surrounding area. This also prevented the fire from reaching its neighbors.
At the same time, in order to protect privacy, oak trees are planted around each house to be used as a fence. So when the fire first broke out, the surrounding neighbors didn't immediately have an accident here. At the same time, when Daken and Paul fled, they were not seen by the other neighbors.
The killing of a New York City councilor is undoubtedly a headache. Now the entire city's upper echelons are feeling a chill. Although the police are not yet fully determined, Macaulay's death was caused by burning himself to death after improper use of the kitchen fire caused the fire.
Or is it that someone deliberately set fire to the scene after the murder to deliberately disrupt the view.
If it was just a simple murder, or if the identity of the deceased was relatively ordinary, and the social relations were relatively easy to sort out, George would never have used a spider lamp. Because solving cases is his specialty.
But the person who died now is a New York City Councilman. And because of the political stance of this parliamentarian, there are many places involved in this murder case. It is even possible that mutants are involved.
If the man who killed Macaulay was a mutant, then such a case would be much more difficult. It is even very possible that even if the culprit is found, it will not be able to catch him in the end.
Because ordinary police officers are always unable to deal with these supercriminals. So in this case, in the evening the exploration of Macaulay Villa was basically over. After the officers pulled the wreckage into the isolation zone and evacuated.
George arrives here alone and turns on Spider-Man's searchlight. He decides to talk to Spider-Man.
But when Peter followed the light of the searchlight and began to discuss Macaulay's death with George, his spider senses kept vibrating, as if to remind him that he had forgotten something. That's why Peter contacted Li Jie.
When Lee Kit got off the glide wing and handed Peter one of the pieces of equipment that Peter had asked him to bring. George gave Li Jie a strange look. "I didn't expect you to really have such a good relationship as rumored by the outside world. ”
"A good man also needs a helper. Li Jie just smiled at this. "What's going on here, Sheriff?" George was wearing a police uniform, and Li Jie simply called him Sheriff.
"Councillor Macaulay was killed. He is a radical anti-mutant radical. So I would venture to guess that he did not die in a fire, but in a deliberate murder. And the people who killed him were mutants. George glanced at Li Jie, who had a better opinion of the Nightkin than Spider-Man.
Because the Nightkin always deals with criminals who are difficult for the police to intervene in or who know that they are committing crimes, but who are unable to arrest without evidence.
Although the Nightcrawler did something that was not visible on the surface, many police officers gave it a thumbs up in private. Because in order to arrest certain criminals, their comrades died or were maimed. However, after the criminal was finally arrested, he could not be convicted during the court trial due to insufficient evidence.
This left many of George's colleagues, including George himself, indignant.
"Because if the criminals involved in this matter involve mutants, then the police force is probably not enough to arrest this kind of super criminal. So I'd like to ask Spider-Man, and of course if you're willing to help, I'd like to ask you Nightkin too. Give us a little bit of strength when we need it. ”
George's words are very clear, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch the mutant criminals by then. So ask both of you to be helpers.
But it's clear that Spider-Man isn't ready to be a simple laborer, so he asked Li Jie to bring the equipment. It's an instrument the size of a briefcase.
It opens up and is a bit like a laptop. Actually, it's a portable X-gene checker. It is another product in the Osborne Group's technology library that does not make it to the shelves.
X-gene testing devices are not uncommon in this world. It is produced by a number of companies that produce large security equipment. The first to produce this portable X-gene detector, Osborne Group's main focus is on differentiated competition.
So this product has a completely different setting from other products of the same type. It is not only lighter and easier to carry, but also much higher than the same type of products in terms of detection accuracy. Of course, the result of this is that the cost of manufacturing has risen, resulting in high prices.
After a period of poor sales, it was removed from the shelves and the production line stopped producing the equipment. Except for a few stocks and a small number of products that have been sold, it is rare to find such equipment on the market today.
"What do you want to do with these things?" Li Jie couldn't help but ask as he watched Spider-Man start fiddling with the device.
"Didn't you say that the murderer might be a mutant? I'll check if there are any signs of a mutant. Peter snapped his fingers and looked ready to get to work.
"Nightkin you help me collect a little sample of the surroundings first and see if there's anything suspicious. ”
Peter always felt that things were not so simple because of his spider sense. And Li Jie also trusts Peter's instincts very much, because his instincts almost never miss.
And if this is really the work of mutants, then Li Jie feels that he needs to remind Professor Charles that he needs to take more precautions lately, and be careful that someone is not good for their school.
So the two New York City superheroes, like police officers in the Criminal Investigation and Forensics Bureau at this moment, began to gradually investigate and search in the ruins of Macaulay's house.
And George, who was just looking for a thug, was a little dumbfounded. What are these two guys playing? New York Detective?
……………………
More than 300 kilometers away from New York, in Washington, Stryker had already stepped off his plane. He was in a hurry to meet with three bigwigs. He's going to try hard to convince Congress to push through the mutant bill.
And the place to meet the congressmen is in the box of a private club in Washington. As soon as Stryker walked into the box and saw the three members of Congress, he began his speech without any pleasantries.
"Gentlemen, I think you are aware of the death of Councillor Macaulay. Although the cause of his death has not yet been fully announced by the police, I think everyone here has their own channels to know the special nature of Macaulay's death this time. The mutants did it! And they could kill a city councilor who was against them today. Stryker looked around at everyone present.
"Then tomorrow you can kill a member of Congress. We don't have time to hesitate. Gentlemen, I need you to pass Mr. Macaulay's Mutant Management Act, and even call an emergency meeting for it. We don't have much time left!"
Stryker's voice was deafening. The three bigwigs in Congress looked at each other a few times, and they would not be easily persuaded. But today, what Stryker said may have made a lot of sense. What the mutants are doing is indeed a little too much!
…………………………
At the secret base of Weapon X more than a thousand kilometers away from New York. A fully stealthy Blackbird fighter slowly landed. Jean had already piloted the Blackbird to the base Charles had found, hidden in the mountains.
As the captain of this operation, Cyclops Scott has already begun to give orders to his own teammates. "Stormgirl we need some storm cover. Colossus will rely on you for a while. Xuanyin will give our enemies some interference later!"
Scott is naming his own team members one by one. "Cuckoo, use your doppelganger to confuse the enemy later. Flashing will be up to you to use your shuttle ability to quickly find out where the Master of Illusions is. Jean, you stay in the fighter and are ready to meet our retreat. ”
"And I, on the other hand, will provide you with enough firepower. Scott pointed to his glasses. He seemed to have assigned tasks to everyone, but he forgot only one person. That's Wolverine Logan.
Because Logan's task is probably the most difficult to distribute. He's in a state of rage right now. Someone used his son to kill a parliamentarian and maybe even provoke a bigger incident. And the guy who got his son's hands covered in blood is inside!
Better not let me find you, or I'll tear you apart with my own hands!
