Chapter 13: The Helper
Beckett and Cassel get clues about the killer and prepare to leave the comic shop.
At this time, two men came to Cassel's side, and one of them, a short man with glasses, said, "Hello, sorry to interrupt, but we actually like your play "Firefly" and "Vampire Slayer Buffy" very much. ”
Cassel looked at the two of them suspiciously, "I think you have the wrong person, I am a writer, not an actor." ”
Another tall, skinny man in a T-shirt said, "The people on Fox are all blind, and they actually cut down the amazing masterpiece you starred in, and I like your role as Malcolm the most. Captain Reynolds. ”
Cassel came to his senses and said to the two of them, "Oh, I think I figured it out, you think I'm Nathan. Filian, but I'm not. ”
After getting rid of the two fans who recognized the wrong person, Beckett joked after walking out of the comic book store: "As soon as they said it, I realized that you do look a lot like the captain of the Serenity." ”
After returning home, Cassel downloaded all the Moon Hero comic books and read them, and after reading them, he found something unusual, and Cassel found Beckett with his findings.
"I found in the comic books that in addition to the two cases that we now know about Tony, the burning of a truck carrying drugs, and the sabotage of the drug deal," Cassel explained to Beckett. We only need to look up the locations of the other two cases, and add these two cases to know the scope of this superhero's usual activities. ”
Esposito and Ryan soon investigated the locations of the other two cases, all of which were not far from the intersection of Bickman Street and Theater Lane.
After the scope was locked, and after a specific investigation, the detectives found an abandoned residential building in this area, and learned from the power company that only apartment 209 had electricity in the entire abandoned building, and Beckett decided to go to this abandoned residential building to have a look.
After arriving at the residential building, Esposito and Ryan are outside to support, and Cassel and Beckett enter the building to search.
The two came to room 209, and when they were exploring the room, Ryan's voice came from the headphones: "There is a person coming up the fire staircase, it may be the murderer we are looking for, you be careful." ”
After Cassel and Beckett hid, a man jumped in through the window to see that he was dressed as the Moon Hero they were looking for.
Beckett raised his gun and aimed it at him and said, "New York police, don't move, if I were you, don't move." Downstairs is already surrounded by police, take your mask off. ”
When the Moon Hero was about to take off his mask, two anesthetic needles in the void pierced the necks of Beckett and Cassel, and the anesthetic quickly took effect, and the two fell, and in the darkness a man wearing a black cloak and covering his face said to the Moon Hero, "Follow me." ”
Under the leadership of the cloaked man, the two walked out unimpeded.
Coming to a safe place, the cloaked man said to the Moon Hero, "Alright, it's safe here." You're good to go. ”
The Moon Hero said in surprise, "Who are you?" Why did you come to save me? ”
Chen Chong, who was wearing a cloak and covering his face, said: "Officer Hasting, I know that you did this because your father was killed, but it is too dangerous to do so, you are a promising police officer, there is no need to risk such a thing." ”
Hattings gripped the hilt of the knife behind his back and said with hostility, "Who the hell are you, you actually know my identity." ”
Chen Zhong said: "I am the sun killer, and I don't like people to imitate me. You have to be glad you didn't kill the wrong person, or I'll get rid of you. ”
Knowing that the other party was the Sun Killer he admired very much, Officer Hastings took off his hood and revealed his blonde hair and beautiful face, and said to Chen Chong: "Okay, I promise you won't do it again in the future, but I hope to help you." ”
Chen remembers that Hastings was transferred to the task force formed by Special Agent Randy, so he asked, "Randy's task force, has there been any progress recently?" ”
Darkings replied honestly, "Randy believes that all the victims are murderers, and that only police officers have access to them, and computer experts have confirmed this, and someone has used the police department's system to look up the information of some of the victims. They are secretly investigating all the staff in the police station, mainly to find out when each case was committed. ”
Chen Zhong believed that he did not leave any evidence at the scene, but the time of the crime was indeed a loophole that he did not expect, and it seemed that he had to find a way to avoid his identity being exposed.
"Since Hastings wants to help me, then you will continue to stay in Randy's task force, if you have important news, call this mobile phone number to notify me, this is a disposable mobile phone, and others can't track it down. Well, take care of yourself. After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he took a few steps back and disappeared into the darkness.
……
"What kind of person do you think I am, Willet?" After dinner, the two nestled on the sofa and chatted, and Chen Zhong pretended to ask unintentionally.
Villerett lay in Chen Chong's arms, fiddling with the ruby necklace that Chen Chong gave her a long time ago, and said softly: "You are very good, have a stable job, have a gentle and kind personality, like to help friends, and are also generous to girlfriends, I think you are perfect." ”
Chen Zhong held Willett's hand and stroked her back, "I'm not as perfect as you say, my ostensible identity is a forensic doctor working in the New York Police Department, but in fact, I have a hidden identity, do you want to know?" ”
"Okay, let's hear it, is it Batman from Gotham City or Superman from Krypton?" Violet said with a smile on her face.
Chen Chong said with a serious expression: "In fact, I am the sunshine killer mentioned in the news. ”
Wellett's body tensed, and she sat on the sofa without Chen Chong's arms, looked carefully at Chen Chong's eyes, and slowly a happy smile appeared on her face.
"My dear, your eyes tell me that you are not lying. I'm glad you told me this secret, the first time I saw you, I felt that there was a special temperament in you that attracted me, and it seemed that I felt very right. ”
Chen Zhong looked at the smiling Willett and felt very strange at her calm performance, "Aren't you afraid of me?" Shouldn't you run away screaming or call the police? ”
Viellett looked at him and said, "Why should I be scared and call the police?" Everyone has their own morals and values, and I don't think what you're doing is wrong. If there were more sun killers in the world, people would sleep more peacefully, wouldn't they? I'm glad you can tell me this, and I'm willing to be your companion on your dark journey and bear everything with you. ”
Chen Zhong saw that Violet could accept and recognize himself, his mood relaxed, and he gently hugged Violet.
"Dear Villeret, you should leave me, because there are always dangers around me, and I fear that one day I will hurt you."
Willett held Chen Chong's hand harder, "I'm not afraid of danger, I'm willing to be with you." Beloved, we can rely on each other so that our souls are not alone. ”
"Dear Chen, do you know? You're my hero now. ”
"I'm not a hero, heroes are too tired and stupid."
"Then you can be my hero?"
"Thank you, Welllit, for understanding me."
"Do you just thank me, my dear, carry me to the bedroom, if you really want to thank you then you need to 'work harder'."
"Well, I'll try very hard."
