Chapter 339: Departure and Encounter (3rd Update)
"That's a portrait of a suspect, what's wrong?" Lorota, who was sitting next to Daly, replied after looking at it.
"Nothing...... I just think he's a little familiar......" Dai Li was in a trance for a moment and replied in a low voice.
"Of course it will look familiar, this man looks almost exactly like the character illustrations that Russell the Great drew for Tony Stark in the Heroes book series, and we suspect that he is either a 'Faceling' or a magical item with similar effects." Lorota said with a smile.
She was also happy to change the subject, so that Dali could get rid of the loss of not being able to take revenge with her own hands.
Sesima also looked over at this time and asked, "Can you be sure that this person is the one who wears the 'Iron Armor' outside the union?" ”
"Not sure......
"In fact, we listed him as a suspect just because someone saw him near Black Palm Street. And because of his special appearance, the witnesses are loyal followers of the "Heroes" series, which is more impressive...... Later, we used psychic means to get this portrait.
"But that's just suspicion...... It can't be ruled out that this person really looks a lot like Russell's illustrations. ”
Lorota said, shaking her head.
Hearing this, Sesima asked, while thinking:
"What about the landlord of the house that was initially destroyed by Iron Man and Hulk? Did you ask him who he rented it out beforehand? ”
"The landlord doesn't remember anything...... I really don't remember. Lorota emphasized, apparently using extraordinary means to confirm it.
Sesima nodded slightly, then looked at the night watchman Al on the other side, and asked:
"What's your catch?"
Al Hassan, who is very charming as a middle-aged man, flipped through the paper in his hand and said:
"We have tentatively confirmed that the person who killed Lanrius was a Sequence 8 'Joker' who excelled at making throwing knives out of cards, and also possessed a powerful firearm that could shoot bullets with 'Black Flame' and 'Frost'...... Both abilities have been identified as 'witches'.
"Also, we think that the final scene is closer to some kind of ritual or symbolism, so we suspect that the Extraordinary One may belong to an organization that we don't yet know about, and of course, that scene may also be his own special habit.
"As for whether the organization to which the 'Joker' belongs is the same as the organization behind 'Iron Man', we can't judge......"
At this point, Ayl paused, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"Say whatever you want." Seeing this, Sesima frowned.
"Yes, Sir Secima." Al replied before he organized his words and said, "I had a case of a 'serial killer' when I was acting as the leader of the Night Watch team in Tingen...... In that case, it was a man who called himself 'Doctor Strange' who gave the key information and accompanied us to catch the killer......"
"You mean this 'Doctor Strange' and 'Iron Man' are from the same organization?" Sesima's heart moved when she heard this, and she asked thoughtfully. He had apparently seen the dossier from Tingen as well.
"I have this guess...... After all, their titles all come from Russell's 'Heroes' series, and they all tend to work with our official squad......"
As soon as Al said this, Sesima interrupted, "I know that you were all saved by 'Iron Man', and I have a great affection for him...... I'm the same with that! If he wishes, I can even vouch for him to join our official organization......"
Speaking of which, he looked around and continued, "But one thing to remember, we are guardians and cannot be emotional! Even if that 'Iron Man' behaves harmlessly at the moment, he can't be taken lightly...... After all, even we are at risk of spiraling out of control, aren't we? ”
Seeing that everyone looked gloomy and acquiesced in his words, Sesima spat out and said thoughtfully:
"I am very confused by the lack of sufficient motivation for the murder of Laneus, both 'Iron Man' and 'Joker' are very worthy of attention, and you continue to follow up on this matter.
"In addition, although the divine envoy of the Aurora Society was severely injured by the goddess's holy sword, he did not die! You've seen his prowess, and the last sword is a demigod's power.
"The failure of the plan to welcome the arrival of the 'true Creator', with the madness of this divine envoy at the time, I fear that he will make a series of revenge after he recovers from his injuries, and you must be on high alert lately, and I will stay in Beckland as well."
"Yes, Sir Secima." One by one, the deacons and squad leaders responded solemnly.
Later, Sesima brought up the matter of collecting real data on the poor people in the factory, east, and dock districts so that the kingdom could carry out reforms, and the meeting finally ended.
After everyone left, Dai Li rubbed the picture of the suspect alone, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, and said to herself silently:
"An attack on Lanerus without any motive......
'In the choice of chasing and killing the Aurora Divine Envoy and rescuing the night watchman, he did not hesitate to choose the latter......
"The little girl in MI9 suspects that 'Iron Man' is actually a 'nightmare' or a 'requiem'......
"Finally, these eyes, ah......"
Dai Li closed the case file, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she felt that there was a "light" shining through many obstacles, shining in her heart deep underground...... She felt like she was finally "alive" again!
"Goddess...... I beg you, I pray you don't tell me that it's just my false fantasies......"
……
Damir Port, 12 noon.
Since the "Pirate Convention" was scheduled to take place on Tuesday, even if Damir was not too far from the extinct volcanic island, he still had to hurry up and leave, so Abner simply packed his equipment and carried the piano case to protect Mr. Gaston to the "stone platform" on the west side of the island.
As for why the time is so tight? That's because except for the four kings and the seven generals, the other pirates and participants had only recently received the news of this grand event, and most of them couldn't make it to the event...... This is actually to guard against the raids of the navies of various countries and the powerful of the major churches.
The so-called "Stone Terrace" is actually the name of a natural private harbor on the west side of the island, where Abner and Hugh once boarded Miss Gwen's "Alenheim", and together they went to the desert island caves, eliminated the "Dragon's Eye Python", and finally stopped at the ritual and ban of a shipwreck.
Speaking of Miss Gwen, the girl who ran away from Beckland has now been promoted to Sequence 8 "Martial Artist", and has once again made two companions who have made a name for themselves by exploring the waters near Damir.
The reason why Abner knew this was because the ship hired by Mr. Gaston to go to the "Pirate Convention" was Gwen's "Alenheim".
"In fact, this Miss Gwen is of a very good character, willing to share the ups and downs of the crew, generous in her money, and good-looking, and admired by many young people on the island, including those in my school......
"If you kid want to attack her, I'm afraid you'll provoke public anger."
While waiting for the boat, Mr. Gaston said teasingly.
Abner really wanted to roll his eyes, all the things about him were false, they were all made up by tabloids, okay? He's innocent!
Moreover, how did all that spread so widely? Obviously, due to the limited number of words transmitted by telegram, the delay of many major events of the national economy and people's livelihood is very high......
Just as Abner was about to retort, a brig about twenty meters long appeared in his sight, and Miss Gwen, who seemed to have grown a little taller, waved at the two of them excitedly.
The Alenheim is still the same old sailing ship, but with ramming angles at the bow, armor at the stern, and a row of gun windows on either side, apparently remodeled.
Without waiting for the other party to release the dinghy, Abner used the "Tempest" to jump directly from the "stone platform" with Mr. Gaston and "glid" onto the deck of the "Allenheim".
"Hello, Mr. Gaston." Gwen greeted Gaston before turning to Abner and smiling, "Long time no see, Detective Brian...... No, it should be called 'Hero Detective'! ”
"Miss Gwen, just call me Abner......" Abner exchanged a few words of greeting, and then turned his gaze to the two young men and a woman who were following Gwen.
No, to be precise, his gaze rested on the girl who looked much younger than Gwen, who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
It's not because the girl is sweet and cute, but because he happens to recognize the feather hat on the other person's head......
