Chapter Eighty-Nine: Request

"Joseph?"

Seeing this name, Lou Cheng immediately remembered the experience of "communicating" with gem spirits in the morning, and remembered the sticky, fishy, evil, and cruel "blood flow". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was a gem polished by martial artist Jonny Joseph from his "own spirit", and the tainted deep spirituality seemed to stem from the negativity in his heart or a long-term emotional out-of-control.

Thinking of this, Lou Cheng perked up and studied the reason why Joseph was included in the list of suspects.

"Once in the woods near his villa, the blood of a missing girl, Taylor, was found...... His ex-wife trumpeted his belief in the devil, and there were cult books like "The Pure Girl's Spirit" at home...... The boyfriend of another victim, Shanny, alleged that he had seen a figure similar to Joseph around the scene of the possible disappearance, but that the broken camera could not provide evidence......"

After reading it line by line, Lou Cheng found that none of these clues could forcefully and clearly prove that Joseph was the criminal, and it was even difficult for him to undergo a strict investigation, but combined with the abnormality of the sapphire, he was somewhat sure.

............

In an ordinary car on the street, a young man in a baseball cap quickly tapped on the keyboard, and finally whispered:

"Boss, he's looking at famous criminals and cases in Cannes. ”

Smith was stunned, took the computer from his subordinate's hand, slid his index finger over the touch screen, and looked at what Lou Cheng had read.

Here's feedback from an internet service provider!

"What the hell is he going to do? Does he want to play 'superhero' too?" the young man in the baseball cap asked, confused, seeking to communicate.

Smith was silent for a while, then slowly spoke:

"This is probably a hobby of Chinese martial artists, in Chinese, it is called 'cut', 'consultation'. ”

He uttered the words he had learned in the past few days of researching the material in an unfamiliar and strange accent, and then added, "Don't our martial arts masters like challenges too?"

"I should have understood, he's looking for a way to challenge that won't be driven out by us. The young man in the baseball cap suddenly realized, "Boss, you have to find a way to warn him not to make a big deal out of it." ”

Smith nodded invisibly, didn't say more, returned the laptop to his subordinates, pointed outside, and said:

"I'm going to buy a hot coffee, do you want it?"

"No, can you come and listen to Coke?" said the young man in a baseball cap with a big smile.

After getting out of the car, Smith went around to another shop, bought a steaming cup of black coffee, and then took the elevator to the top floor, entered the rooftop, and leaned closer to the edge, silently looking down at the building opposite.

That tall building is called the "Mercedes Arena"!

A few minutes later, the door to the rooftop was opened, and Cole, a middle-aged man with gray hair, appeared carrying a bag of things, physically exhausted and with a cold look in his eyes.

"Smith......" Cole was stunned for a second, then let out a sigh, "You're here again......"

Smith picked up the cup, drank the remaining coffee that had cooled down, and smiled bitterly:

"Uncle Cole, how's it going?"

"I still haven't awakened the 'spirit of my own', and I still haven't been able to become Joseph's martial arts apprentice. Cole pulled out a can of beer, and Peng pulled it away, taking a deep sip, and the pale yellow droplets of water ran down his chin that he had forgotten to shave, through the gray, messy stubble, and fell to the ground and fell to eight petals.

Smith opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word, just crumpled the cup into a ball and turned away from the rooftop.

He found a supermarket, bought a Coke for his subordinates, and told them to go home and rest, ensure their energy, and wait for the rotation, while the other team members were sent to do other things.

............

After studying for a long time, Lou Cheng suddenly laughed, mocking himself as if he was too into the play.

Even if he is now sure that the martial artist Jonny Joseph is a criminal "butcher" who has been active for more than ten years, and can "visit" the door with peace of mind to eliminate hidden dangers, if he can't find actual evidence, it will be very troublesome to finish up in the future, which is a senior powerhouse with a very high status.

In this way, if you are not careful, you will become a "criminal", in a place where you are not familiar with life and there are not many resources to borrow, not to mention the serious consequences, you will be deported at the least, and you will be denied a visa from then on, which contradicts your main demand.

Do you want to seek the help of the military, they must have an intelligence network in the United States......

But how do you speak?

In a flash of thought, Lou Cheng had already simulated the most likely dialogue:

"I'm going to get Jonny Joseph, and I need intelligence support. ”

"Why?"

"He is a perverted offender who has the potential to endanger my daughter-in-law. ”

"Oh...... Does he know your wife?"

"I don't know. ”

"His target audience includes your wife?"

"Nope. ”

“...... Then why are you going to get him?"

"You know, there's a possibility, uh, a little possibility, and I'm going to take precautions. ”

“...... Please forgive me for not understanding your train of thought. ”

Thinking of a similar scene, Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed at himself, temporarily putting aside the idea of visiting the "butcher".

Joseph's target should only be a younger girl, with little chance of finding a college student, let alone Keke, who is just one of many female college students......

Although this kind of perverted criminal is very hateful, everyone will be punished, and I also have the feeling of chivalry, but I still have to consider the actual situation.

Picking up the iced latte and taking the last sip, Lou Cheng saw that it was still early and planned to go to the "Mercedes Arena" for another hour of free practice.

You can't relax your requirements for yourself just because you have become a non-human and your strength is internalized, even if you don't temper it much, your realm will not regress.

I've never been aiming for more than just non-humans!

Well, it wasn't before......

Got his mobile phone and walked out of the café, Lou Cheng was about to distinguish the road, when a car suddenly drove in front of him and slowly stopped on the side of the road.

"Hello, Lou. The driver smiled and said hello.

Who? Lou Cheng looked over blankly, only to feel that the young and sunny face was a little kind.

However, in his eyes, most of the crooked nuts also look similar......

"You asked me for directions yesterday. Smith reminded.

"Oh, it's you. Lou Cheng suddenly remembered, suddenly realized, and then his brain turned, and he blurted out in amazement, "How do you know that my surname is Lou?"

At this moment, his hairs exploded, like a monster about to pounce out, and the natural momentum made Smith shiver, almost unable to control his body, and wanted to abandon the car and flee.

Taking a deep breath, Smith kept a smile, took out his credentials, and introduced himself:

"I'm Smith from the Department of Homeland Security, and I'm in charge of monitoring your activities in Cannes. ”

His behavior did not violate the statutes, and similar monitoring could communicate with the target: first give warnings and warnings to let the Chinese martial artists know that they are under the close watch of the state apparatus, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of violence and prevent problems before they occur.

However, follow-up surveillance will not be reduced to detect and prevent changes in the first place.

This is actually the most common method used by many senior agents after receiving similar tasks, but Smith is a fledgling and quite "aggressive", so he chooses to monitor secretly.

Lou Cheng was stunned for a second, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his previous figure playing on the co-pilot's computer screen, and he was convinced, and said:

"Can I verify your ID number?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the corners of Smith's mouth twitch, as if he heard the other party shouting for trust between people.

"Yes. Smith maintained his expression and replied in a deep voice.

Lou Cheng searched for the confirmation method, completed the affirmation, and asked:

"Mr. Smith, what are you looking for me?"

He has long heard of it, and it can be reasonably inferred that a martial artist similar to his own realm will be monitored when he enters the rice country, so he has a lot of scruples in his words and deeds, and he didn't look for someone to talk to him indiscriminately, and now he sees the agent leader who is responsible for monitoring him, and he has a relaxed feeling that his boots have finally landed.

"Upstairs, get in the car. Smith picked up the computer and gestured to the co-pilot.

Lou Chengyi was bold and had a clear conscience, so he immediately opened the car door, sat in, and fastened his seat belt.

This little action made Smith stupid, and he had a very magical feeling:

This monster still needs to wear a seat belt?

He reined in his emotions, started the car, and headed to another block, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Lou, you are a famous criminal in Chakang City, and you want to find them to 'cut' and 'learn'?"

It turned out to be a door-to-door warning for this? Lou Cheng seemed to be stunned, and said with a smile:

"It's just a casual check, and I've always been law-abiding. ”

As if he hadn't heard his explanation, Smith said to himself:

"Actually, there is still some evidence about Joseph, more than what has been disclosed, but it cannot form a complete chain of evidence, and he is a veteran martial artist with status and connections, and many legislators and lawyers, so we can't apply for a search warrant......"

"Sunny is a very spiritual girl, in the words of the 'Gruka' faction, his father once 'heard' her 'remnant' crying and screaming around Joseph's villa, believing that there must be a hidden crime there, buried evidence, as long as we can go in and search, we can definitely lock the clues and arrest Joseph!"

"However, no one listened to us, and for the past five years, there have been 'superheroes' who tried to infiltrate Joseph's villa, only to be found and sent to prison...... In recent years, Joseph has had his students guard the villa if he goes out, and has installed a high-tech surveillance and alarm system, and the 'superheroes' and 'detectives' rarely interfere anymore. ”

Lou Cheng listened thoughtfully, nodded slowly, and said:

"You want me to come to the house to 'visit' Joseph, challenge him, take him down, and give you a chance to search for evidence?"

"So to speak. Smith replied in a low voice.

"But what if you turn your face? What if you don't admit it afterwards? And what does this have to do with the Department of Homeland Security?" Lou Cheng would have been unsuspecting to believe the words of strangers.

It's all good to say if you find evidence, but what if you don't?

It is entirely possible that the other party is simply using himself and will not help to eliminate the trouble.

Smith glanced sideways at Lou Cheng, and his deep eyes revealed deep sadness and pain:

"I'll take care of the alarm system here, and if you can't find any evidence, as long as you disguise yourself and don't hurt Joseph very badly, it's going to be just an 'ordinary' attack involving 'superheroes' where no suspect can be found, and I can cover up the past. ”

Speaking of this, he took a breath and said:

"When you looked up the information before, you should have seen a photo of the victim Shanny and her boyfriend, and you should have seen him being interviewed. ”

The memories in Lou Cheng's mind lit up, and the pictures of the blonde girl's boyfriend flashed in an instant, and they gradually overlapped with the secret service leader in front of him.

Judging from the time, Smith joined the state apparatus for this reason......

Most of the vigilance in Lou Cheng's heart dissipated, and he began to believe Smith's statement.

Retracting his gaze, Smith looked ahead:

"I know, it's a difficult choice for you, Joseph is also a dangerous monster, you may not be able to win him, and only defeat and not kill ......"

Before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Lou Cheng light up his mobile phone, calmly bury his head, and watch the video intently.

It was a highlight of Joseph's battles for the last year.
