After fainting, the lizardmen gradually shed the scales on their bodies and reverted to their human appearance, and in this state, the consciousness of the three people also returned to normal.

Goofy and Steve put them in a police car and took them straight back to the 109 precinct, just in time for them to sober up and sort out their thoughts on the way.

Before they could get to the bureau, the three of them wept and repented, claiming that they had been bewitched and had been injected with lizard serum while they had been hypnotized.

"Officer Goofy, I'm innocent, I have a wife and children, how could I possibly want to be that kind of monster?"

"I fell asleep on the bus after work yesterday and woke up in a daze and went to a basement where a strange nurse gave me an injection...... I only now understand that it was lizard serum. ”

"Me too! I was in the same situation as him, but in the middle of the night, when I came out of the bar......"

"Officer Goofy, I think we're all being controlled."

……

Goofy listened to the statements of the three people behind him while driving, and he could basically conclude that what these three people described was the truth.

Now, in all of New York, except for Professor Connors, who has been reincarcerated back into prison, the only person in New York who has mastered the lizard serum recipe is the guy who is good at mind controlling others, and there is no doubt that he is the one who forcibly transformed the three poor people in the car into lizard monsters.

Today's incident seems to be a protest by superpowers against the "Superpower Registration Act", but in fact it is a riot deliberately created by the mind controller, but Goofy still can't guess what this guy wants to do.

Is it deliberately provoking conflicts between superpowers and ordinary citizens?

Or maybe he's playing bigger – trying to orchestrate an uprising of superpowers?

Back in the bureau, Goofy and Hank interrogate the three lizardmen separately. The testimonies of the three of them are almost the same, they were first hypnotized to go to a basement, received an injection of lizard serum, fell asleep for a while after the injection, and woke up and were hypnotized to take them to the place where today's trouble occurred.

Goofy carefully interrogated them about where they had been hypnotized, and asked them to recall where they had received the serum injections.

The three were first hypnotized in Brooklyn, and the serum injections were given in an old apartment in Queens, but by the time Goofy sent Steve to the injection site, the apartment was already empty.

The scene was properly cleaned up, leaving no traces, and the mastermind behind the scenes obviously knew that hypnosis could only control the minds of others and could not erase the memories of others, so he cleaned up the scene in advance and destroyed all evidence.

Gao Fei can only change his mind and advance the investigation from other clues.

The experienced Hank had a good idea for Goofy: "Now that the scene has been cleaned up, why not ask the three lizardmen if they remember the nurse who injected them with the serum." ”

Goofy's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea, and nurses are a good place to start." ”

So Goofy took the sketchbook back to the interrogation room and began to ask the three lizardmen about the appearance of the person who injected them with the serum, but fortunately, Goofy's painting technique was blessed by the system, and he soon painted a highly restored portrait.

The only problem is that the nurse is wearing a mask when injecting the serum, which makes the nurse's face directly obscured by two-thirds, and the remaining third is difficult to find the target with this portrait.

Now Goofy only knows that this is a nurse of color, but because the three lizardmen are not in good spirits while being hypnotized, they can't be sure if the nurse of color is African or Latino.

And just when Goofy was clueless, his old friend Christine gave Goofy an assist.

The little nurse called Goofy and reported a very strange situation.

"Goofy, my colleague Claire disappeared last night, I was supposed to be on the night shift with her, but she never showed up......," Christine whispered, "I only contacted her half an hour ago, but her situation is very worrying. ”

Goofy immediately linked Claire's situation to the Lizardman incident, and the whole person was in good spirits.

Could it be so lucky this time that the little nurse who injected the lizard serum delivered it to the door herself?

"Is there anything unusual about her?" Goofy asked.

"Yes, Claire said she seemed to have been hypnotized last night, and she said she was sleepwalking last night, going to a strange place to give a lot of injections...... It took a long night before he returned to his home at dawn. ”

Hearing this, Goofy was almost certain that Claire was the little nurse who injected the lizardmen with the serum last night.

"Christine, are you convenient now? I'll go find you, and then let's go see Claire together, how about it? Goofy couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course it's convenient." Christine actually planned to do the same, she was also worried that her request would delay Goofy's work, and the little head nurse was relieved to hear Goofy so happy.

"I'm at home right now, ready to go." Christine said.

"Then I'll go now." Goofy hung up the phone, went to say hello to Hank, and then drove out to Christine's apartment.

Forty minutes later.

Goofy drove Christine to the house of her colleague Claire.

"Claire! Claire! Christine nervously banged on the door and whispered Claire's name.

Goofy clearly heard footsteps inside the door, it should be Claire who came to open the door.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the door opened, and Claire appeared inside the door with a tired face.

Claire is a sexy-looking black girl with a high degree of appearance that matches the description of the three lizardmen, so Goofy gets excited at the first sight of Claire, and the key person who catches the mastermind behind it is likely to be her!

Claire glanced at Christine helplessly, then her gaze rested on Goofy's body.

Christine hurriedly introduced: "Oh, Claire, let me introduce you, he is a high-flying police officer, my friend......"

"Of course I know who he is, Christine." Claire smiled, "Come on, I've seen reports about him on TV at least three times, and each time it's on a loop......"

Gao Feibao smiled and said politely, "Sorry to interrupt me." ”

Claire hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't say that, officer, I should apologize to you for my trouble." ”

Saying that, Claire hurriedly invited: "Come in, two of you, please." ”

Goofy and Christine follow Claire into the apartment.

Claire's apartment was as clean as Christine's house, and the nurses looked more or less clean, and the room smelled of clean disinfectant and a faint scent of flowers.

"What the hell was going on last night? Claire...... "Kristen gets straight to the point as she walks through the door," can I ask you that question? ”

"Absolutely." Claire nodded, but the memory of this incident obviously made her a little uncomfortable, she frowned, pinched her head again, and then said slowly, "I had already left the apartment and got on the bus, ready to go to the night shift, but I was suddenly very sleepy on the subway, and then I fell asleep......"

"It's weird because I slept for a long time at noon and didn't wake up until five o'clock in the afternoon......."

Christine frowned: "Then you shouldn't be sleepy on the road, right?" ”

Claire nodded, "yes, so in retrospect, I may have been controlled since then." ”

"Is it hypnosis?" Christine asked.

"Yes, hypnosis." Claire admitted.

At this time, Goofy interjected: "Do you remember where you were sleepy?" Or where are you hypnotized? ”

"It should be Queens...... No, it's Brooklyn. Claire Road, "Just entered Brooklyn, just north ......"

Goofy nodded, this is very close to the place where the three lizardmen were hypnotized, which shows that the mastermind control behind the scenes is likely to have a certain range of effect, and his hypnosis of people only works in a certain area.

"And then?"

"And then ......," Claire struggled to recall, "and then my memory was choppy and indistinct, and I forgot even where I got off the bus from, but I remember that the place I got off was Queens, and I passed through two very desolate neighborhoods, and finally came to an old apartment, and I went down the stairs of the apartment, and at the end of the road was a dark and cramped basement......"
