14. Unexpected development

The next day, early in the morning.

Quentin Lance and his colleagues arrive at Star City's famous commercial building, where several police cars are parked downstairs and a swarm of media reporters.

The wounded, who were carried on stretchers, were sent to the medical ambulance under the flash of the camera, and the crowd of onlookers was secretly speculating about what kind of vicious incident had happened.

"Just last night, after twelve o'clock, the hooded man did find Adam Hunt."

After the black-hearted businessman in Star City was threatened, although he immediately called the police, he didn't believe in the strength of the Star City police, and spent money to hire a group of professional bodyguards and gunmen.

"It was preliminarily determined that the murderer was the killer wearing a hood, good at using a bow and arrow, and according to the remaining traces of battle at the scene, that guy had taken down many of Adam Hunter's bodyguards with the strength of just one person, which can be said to be extremely dangerous!"

Hearing the introduction of the black colleague, Quentin Lance frowned, who is this hooded man?

The first appearance of the other party is after Oliver Quinn is kidnapped by an unidentified gang of bandits, and the bastard claims to be a hooded man who saves him and Tommy Merlin.

Originally, Lance thought it was Oliver Quinn's nonsense, who would have thought that the hooded man then shot Adam Hunter's bodyguard with a bow and arrow in the underground garage, and then threatened to extort 40 million dollars.

"Why didn't the police officer on duty last night notice it in the slightest?"

It occurred to Lance that if Adam Hunt had been attacked by a hooded man after twelve o'clock last night, why did the police not find out until five o'clock in the morning.

"According to the police officer's confession, there was a brief power outage in the building last night, but Adam Hunt himself said that it was just that the property facilities were aging and did not need police help...... Moreover, no gunshots were heard during the whole process, perhaps because the sound insulation of this building is too good. ”

The black colleague shrugged, who would have thought that the hooded man could single-handedly beat a security team of more than thirty people to the ground.

Quentin Lance hurriedly stepped out of the elevator, Star City has not been peaceful recently, Martin Summers, who controls the port terminal, and the triad that was originally happy to work together have fallen out for some reason, and small-scale friction continues, and Frank Potinel seems to be getting involved.

These gangsters have a turbulent undercurrent in private, and they don't know when they will break out, which makes the atmosphere inside the police station extremely tense, and now there is a Robin Hood with a bow and arrow, robbing the rich and helping the poor, what a headache!

"What a lunatic!"

Lance walked into the scene and couldn't help but curse.

Adam Hunter, the bald businessman who is often taken to court, was nailed to the wall!

Like a crucifixed Jesus, the other party opened his hands, dozens of aluminum alloy arrows penetrated his arms, legs and chest, and the walls were dripping with dried blood, looking like an abstract painting, giving people an extremely terrifying and terrifying visual effect.

"This seems to be something that can only be done by a madman, taking the method of shooting with a bow and arrow, without concealing his behavior at all, when has this kind of person ever appeared in Star City!"

The black colleague standing next to him sighed.

"You can ask a psychologist to write a profile to see if you can roughly depict the physical characteristics of the criminal, I have a hunch that since he is so arrogant, he will definitely commit the crime again."

Lance squinted, and his years of experience as a police officer gave him a hint of something unusual.

"Detective, this is the only thing left at the scene! The arrow shaft is about 29 inches long, and the material is aluminum alloy, which is characterized by low density, high strength, good plasticity, and easy processing! It can be guessed that the other party should be using a recurve bow, the weight and pull are amazing, there is no brand logo on it, there are suspected traces of polishing, and it is likely to be made by the murderer himself. ”

A colleague from the Forensic Identification Section, wearing rubber gloves, showed Quentin Lance an aluminum arrow in a plastic bag.

"Threats of extortion, illegal break-in, violent killings...... That hooded man better pray that I don't catch him! ”

Lance snorted coldly, if this vicious crime incident is not solved quickly and effectively, the Star City Police Department will be under a lot of public opinion pressure.

Just when the police were busy, the news about the hooded man made headlines again and caused an unprecedented sensation.

People are constantly arguing about this kind of behavior, whether the existence of a violent and cruel vigilante is good or bad?

The rich began to put themselves in danger, and the presence of a madman in the city who shot people everywhere with bows and arrows could not help but breed panic.

"How so!?"

Oliver, who was staying at Quinn's mansion, looked incredulous as he held the newspaper with the morning news.

He only gave a small warning to Adam Hunt yesterday and took 40 million from the other party to pay back to the victims who had been deceived.

But in the blink of an eye, I heard the news of the murder of Adam Hunter, and the image of the murderer happened to be himself.

It was like a bolt from the blue that fell on Oliver, who returned to the city to save his father's mistakes and stop the fall of Star City.

It's not to be charged with murder and become a wanted criminal by the police.

"Who's framing me?"

Oliver was puzzled, looking down in thought.

"He'd better pray that he won't get caught by me! Otherwise......"

Clenching his palms and crumpling the newspaper, Oliver's eyes glowed wildly.

He has been brutally tortured and trained on Purgatory Island, and he is no longer the rich son he used to be.

Killing is not difficult for Oliver today!

…………

"He will start to get angry and then look for the truth...... This should give our vigilantes a moment to rest. ”

In the training room on the second floor of White Manor, Leo was sparring with Ms. Siva, his fists and feet constantly pumping the air, making a dull explosion!

"Why don't you take a more direct approach, Oliver Quinn is no match for you, although he is indeed a master of archery, and seems to be proficient in several ancient martial arts."

Ms. Siva's body is nimble and she is always able to anticipate her movements before Leo strikes.

This is a natural instinct cultivated after years of martial arts, and few opponents can crack it.

"Because I want to get to the root of the problem and kill Oliver Quinn? This is too simplistic and crude, and it lacks good reason. If I were to cut out every threat in a violent way, sooner or later I would become the enemy of the whole world...... The vigilantes got in my way, so I wanted him to understand that violence doesn't make a difference, and that last night he put five people in the hospital with arrows through their arms or shoulders, and two more were shot dead - although Oliver Quinn only took the two poor guys to block the guns, and didn't do it himself. ”

"You see, a ridiculous idea was born that without my intervention, he would have earned the title of vigilante for not nailing Adam Hunt to the wall, and would have been regarded as a guardian angel, a vigilante in the dark!"

"So what is the difference between me, the real murderer, the ruthless murderer, and Oliver Quinn, the silent vigilante?"

Leo's words were like a series of bullets, and his right leg kicked out an afterimage, pulling the sound of a fierce wind.

Ms. Shiwa seemed to lose her mind slightly, and in a trance, Leo, who was approaching, grabbed the placket of her clothes, and then used her throwing technique in judo to fall to the ground violently!

"You're making rapid progress."

Ms. Siva, who was pulled up by Leo, chuckled, this student was gradually approaching her own level in strength and skill.

"Is this a compliment? It is an honour to receive your approval. ”

Sweat dripped, Leo took a towel to wipe it, and continued the topic just now: "I hope that the Star City is a city of tomorrow that can maintain stability and order, even if it still has black-hearted capitalists, corrupt bureaucrats and gangsters, but instead of using violence and spreading fear, it is better to try to use the way of Malcolm Merlin's small group to start from the superstructure." ”

"Of course, all of this will have to wait until Oliver Quinn and Malcolm Merlin are out."

Leo's thinking is clear, the world is different from the set next door, not superheroes staying in one city in piles, but has its own inherent territory.

For example, Batman rarely leaves Gotham, Superman spends most of his time in Metropolis except for occasional international disputes, and The Flash is the savior of Midtown and visits Wedge Rock from time to time......

So judging from this situation, if you want to talk and laugh with those Justice League bosses in the future, you have to become the maker of a city's order at the worst.

Star City's crime rate is much lower than that of Gotham, the villain level is far inferior to that of Midtown, and it is undoubtedly a good choice because of its developed economy and large population.

"As my first springboard......

Leo thought.
