Chapter Twenty-Three: Don't Give It for Nothing
After settling Coulson's opinion, Charles and Jessica, who continued to operate domineeringly, also ushered in a strange thing, someone came to give him money for nothing.
The new client, an old black man, sat down and threw Charles a stack of money, his expression seemed to have thrown away a very heavy responsibility, and then began to explain to Charles and Jessica what the hell was going on.
"My name is Oscar Clemons, I'm a policeman, I've caught a lot of criminals in my life, and when those criminals were on trial, they all claimed that a demon in their hearts controlled him to do this kind of crime, but obviously, there are no demons in this world, so I always find all the evidence and send these criminals directly to the prison to confess, this time it's the same, the criminals committed crimes, I found the evidence, and then arrested, sentenced, everything is the same as in the past, but this criminal is different from other criminals, he has a crazy father!"
The self-proclaimed Oscar Clemmons briefly introduced himself, and then explained that he was here for a criminal.
Charles also counted the money thrown to him by the black police officer with his eyes at this time, which was a bit much, if the money was paid for himself and Jessica to investigate the matter, then I am afraid that Jessica could only do it with superpowers.
"How did that father go crazy and kidnap your family? So this money is so that we can find your family as soon as possible while you stall?"
After listening to the officer's words, Charles tidied up a little, looked at the black police officer who was still relieving his emotions, and asked a question, which may be the biggest possibility now.
"No, it's not mine, it's that crazy father's money, what should I say?"
Oscar Clemmons, a black police officer, vetoed Charles's speculation, calmed down a little, and finally tried to say what he knew in a calm tone.
"The guy came to me and asked me to use the money to re-investigate his son's case, and then in order to prove that he believed his son was really innocent, he committed suicide in front of me, and I was just crazy when he died in front of me. ”
After Oscar said this, he looked at Charles with his eyes, as if he was afraid that Charles would not believe him, because in a way, this thing is indeed incredible, and it is simply terrible to commit suicide in order to prove that his son is innocent.
"That's really ...... Terrible, just my lord, why did you come to us to deal with this matter, although we have a good reputation, wouldn't it be better for you to re-investigate it yourself?"
Charles almost understood what happened, but the police came to find the detective to solve the case, how to see how wrong.
"Because this case is the case that I have investigated the whole process, there are no problems from the beginning, the evidence, the witnesses, and even the criminal has already pleaded guilty, so even if I investigate again, there is no possibility of getting another possibility, then it is impossible for me to apply for an investigation of this case again. ”
The old police officer, Oscar Clemmons, told Charles why he didn't re-investigate, and all the facts proved that this was the case committed by the murderer, so it was impossible for him as a police officer to investigate the case again, which was a waste of human resources of the police system.
"Then why do you think it's worth paying us to investigate this case again?"
Charles asked curiously, since this case is in charge of the black police officer in front of him, who seems to be upright, then there will naturally be no corruption or malfeasance in the investigation process, after a trial, even the murderer's family asked the police officer to investigate again, that is, who is the evidence of the police officer's investigation is recognized by the murderer's family, so is there any need for this case to be investigated again?
"Intuitively, if you really need a reason to investigate, I can only tell you this reason. My decades of intuition tells me that what I told the police at the beginning that there was a demon controlling him to kill people may be true, and that when the father committed suicide in front of me, his expression was so strange, I always felt that he didn't want to do it, but he did, and I always felt that something happened that I didn't understand, so I can't treat this matter as a madman's babble before committing suicide, I need to do something!"
After the black police officer Oscar said this, he also began to feel that he had made a mistake, but recalling the last look of the murderer's father made him feel that at least his decision to come here was not wrong.
"Okay, I see. Jessica, what do you think of this case?" Charles understood what the old police officer meant, turned his head and asked Jessica's opinion, only to get Jessica's opinion that there was no need to investigate the case again.
Since Jessica, who has a talent for detectives after all, thinks that there is no need to investigate this case again, Charles is ready to refuse this kind of thing, but when he sees the word exorcism on his new business card, he suddenly smiled and said to the black police officer who was expressionless and waiting for his answer.
"It seems that we don't need to do the detective job, the professionals of our firm believe that your handling of this case is fair and strict, but if you think that there is a mysterious demon at work in this case, I can help do an exorcism to see if there is really a demon affecting this matter. ”
"Exorcism, is there really a demon in this world?" Oscar asked a little nervously when he heard Charles's suggestion.
"Of course not, just as there were no mutants or aliens in this world before the New York War, it was just human imagination. ”
Instead of answering Oscar's question head-on, Charles tells Oscar in another way that demons have always existed, it's just that you don't know it.
"Well, I'll leave the rest to you, if it's really the so-called devil, I'm afraid the law won't be able to give him justice, but being able to tell the criminal is really not what he did. ”
As a police officer for many years, the veteran police officer Oscar still knows some mysterious events, but they were all taken over by S.H.I.E.L.D., and then told the world that it was a misunderstanding, although Oscar never questioned it, but never believed it.
The exorcism that Charles said may be just a consolation, but if he can really find something, at least he still did the right thing, and the black police officer with this idea left a memory disk with all the information about the case, and left Charles and the detective's exorcism office with some ease.
"Are you lost in money? Exorcism? Your exorcism is just a show imitated with superpowers, you actually cheated so much for so much payment, you don't seem to be so short of money, do you need to do this?"
Jessica prepares to uncover Charles's deception immediately after the black officer leaves, Charles's exorcism is just a little comfort to people's hearts, but it is not worth accepting so much money, which is already considered a fraud.
