Chapter Seventy-Seven: I Can't Afford to Hurt
"Boss, it's posted!" After special police detective Bobby, a black man, posted the photos on the wall, he said to Monica, the team leader who was sitting on the side and flipping through the information.
Monica stood up and walked over to the whiteboard covered with photos.
All the photos on the photo wall found in the abandoned factory have been moved to this office. The whiteboard was occupied by a map of the city, and many people's photos were posted on the wall.
In addition to Tarunsa and Simon, there are also surviving Martha. Their photos were posted at the place where their respective accidents had ended. In addition to these three people, there are three other guys on the wall who don't know each other. Of course, if a fool is here, he will definitely dismiss your idea, these three guys are not the three unlucky kids in their game, but three other real actors who have seen in the actors' preparation room.
In addition to the three actors, a photo of another person was also posted on the map. There is no doubt that the person in this picture is none other than Hoffman. Interestingly, the location of this photograph is not actually posted in the parking lot where Hoffman was abducted, but in Hoffman's home.
Although Monica doesn't know much about Hoffman, she knows exactly where Hoffman's home is based on what she knows about the members as a team leader. So when I saw the photo, I quickly reacted that something was wrong.
Although the black Bobby is also an important character, the subconscious is destined to find nothing out of this product. He imitates Monica, but sadly discovers that he can't see anything.
"Boss, what did you find?" Asking questions without shame has always been a good habit for Bobby.
Monica didn't think it was a secret, and directly told Bobby what she found wrong, and Bobby frowned when she knew the answer.
While the pig teammates were dragging their feet, Monica set her sights on the other three real actors. She had been tracking Jigsaw disciples for years, and she was pretty sure that these three men were not victims of any of the game. "Is there a way to determine the identities of these three people?" Monica asked, looking at the photo of the three men.
Bobby nodded and said, "I've already asked people to check, but it will take a little time." Boss, did you think of something? ”
Monica nodded, if you only looked at it from the dossier before, the three of them seemed to have only one incident in common, but before this map, the death game played by all the jigsaw disciples can be said to have followed all the way from the west to the middle. And here, that's where the jigsaw first appeared.
"John Kramer's confirmation of death was nine years ago. But his legacy has always affected those who are still alive, and judging from the death games that have been happening in recent years, the style of death games is significantly different. In the past few years, more than half of the 32 death games that have occurred have been victimized by victims who have completed the so-called death games, but have no chance of escaping at all.
But the remaining half not only managed to escape, but some of them disappeared. Remember the jigsaw disciple Amanda Young eleven years ago? It is suspected that these missing people may have joined the Jigsaw Disciples! ”
Monica looked at the silent Bobby with some disappointment, apparently the latter had no idea what she was talking about. Although this thing has the strength to handle, it is indeed much worse than Hoffman's ability to think. It seems that the previous summary added a lot of points for the fool in front of the team leader.
But now it's the black Bobby who is on her side, not the fool Hoffman. She could only suppress her voice and say, "We have always thought of the Jigsaw Disciples as a complete organization, but because no one has yet inherited the name of Jigsaw, they have different styles of death games. But in the case of Hoffman's disappearance, it occurred to me that what if it wasn't just a group of people who were eyeing Hoffman? ”
Bobby finally understood what the team leader meant, and said solemnly: "You mean, there are other people who also want Hoffman's life?" Could it be that Hoffman has enemies outside? ”
Monica: "..."
Well, Bobby is just a subconscious actor who has no superfluous thoughts at all.
Monica sighed and continued to explain, "I mean, we've been tracking the Jigsaw Disciples all along, but these guys have always been able to do contradictory things that have bogged down our investigation. But all mysteries can be explained clearly by changing a major premise. That is, there were actually two groups of jigsaw disciples!
If this premise is changed, then the contradiction in style and the reason for Hoffman's disappearance can be reasonably explained at once. The divided Jigsaw disciples will have their sights set on Hoffman. But one of the groups took the lead, and there was a discrepancy in the information in front of us. ”
Bobby only showed a sudden realization at this time, "I see! But doesn't this make it more difficult for us to find Hoffman? There are two groups of jigsaw disciples who could have kidnapped Hoffman, so how can we find his whereabouts!? ”
Monica showed a rare hint of confidence on her face, "Don't you still understand this?" If the assumption is true, then why did the two jigsaw disciples capture Hoffman? Do you remember the man who disappeared twelve years ago, but who had the same name as Hoffman? ”
A hint of horror flashed across Bobby's face: "You mean, this Hoffman is the same Hoffman who disappeared twelve years ago!?" ”
Well, Monica was completely helpless. Although Bobby's assumption is bold and not without ideas, it is clearly wrong to use it in this place.
She took a few deep breaths and continued: "As far as current science and technology are concerned, it is impossible to completely restructure a strong white man with a height of nearly 1.85 meters into an Asian race of 1.73 meters from top to bottom. And if you count it according to time, the missing Hoffman is at least fifty years old after this period of time, and his physical strength and energy are far inferior to the Hoffman we know.
I mean, if the two jigsaw disciples wanted to take Hoffman for a death game. In other words, there is something about Hoffman that attracts them. Name, origin, or whatever! Although we don't know exactly what Hoffman had on his body that attracted the attention of the Jigsaw disciples, it was a fact that Hoffman was targeted and taken captive. Maybe... What clues are there in his home! ”
Looking at Bobby with a suddenly realized face, Monica breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, with such a teammate on the stall, it was really... I can't afford to hurt it!
