Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 84: Casually Solved such a Big Case?

“Wh… what… f… five million? Do you speak English?”

Hearing the shouts of his companions, the tall thin young man in the chase stuttered.

“What, I can’t speak English?”

“Be careful! He’s a murderer!”

The young man shouted at Mathison.

The man in black saw Mathison and Barbara standing in front of him, and his eyes flashed fiercely.

One could sense his intent to kill!

When Mathison was about to make a move, Barbara had already scurried.

Barbara rushed straight at the man in black at twice his speed.

The man in black was stunned by Barbara’s speed. And when he came back to his senses, Barbara had already gotten close to him.

He quickly waved the sharp weapon in his hand and aimed at Barbara’s neck.

Barbara moved her body slightly and slammed the man in black in the abdomen with her fist. The ‘poor’ man couldn’t help letting out a cry of pain.

Then, she grabbed the bowl of the black man’s hand, the one that was holding the murder weapon, and squeezed it hard.

“Ah!”

The man in black yelled, released his hand, and the sharp weapon fell to the ground.

Next, Barbara took advantage of the opportunity to throw him over her shoulder and heavily to the ground.

The man in black was hit hard and directly fainted.

The whole process was done in one go, and Barbara clapped her hands in disdain as if she was only warming up.

Even though Barbara is only interested in computers, she is still a fighting enthusiast. She has been holding a double black belt in judo and karate for several years. She is also proficient in various women’s self-defense techniques.

In recent years, she has also started practising Kali martial arts.

Feng and Tang were amazed after witnessing the scene.

Mathison’s attention was not on the man in black at this time, because he knew Barbara’s combat effectiveness. The man in black was an ordinary person, and dozens of him would not be a match for Barbara.

His eyes rested on Pamela’s left hand.

Because, right about now, when the man in black showed his intent to kill, the skin color of Pamela’s left hand changed, and the back of her white hand turned light green.

At the same time, her eyes were staring at the man in black.

Obviously, Pamela wanted to use her abilities at that time.

It is precisely because of this that Mathison slowed down for a second.

He wanted to know what Pamela wanted to do.

Only then, Mathison noticed that when the man in black wanted to attack Barbara with the knife, he paused unnaturally for a moment.

It doesn’t require any thinking to understand that it was Pamela who controlled him.

Mathison also noticed that Pamela’s chest was unnaturally shaking after she activated her abilities. Although she was trying to hide it, her heavy breathing told Mathison that Pamela had spent a lot of effort on the previous action.

It seems that Pamela has only been Poison Ivy for a short time. She hasn’t mastered her abilities very well.

“Mathison, won’t you go and see if Barbara is injured?”

Pamela reminded Mathison, winking at him.

“Pamela, please call the police.”

Mathison walked over calmly.

“Now, can you tell me what happened? Is this man really a murderer?” Barbara asked the dumbfounded Feng.

In the following conversation, Mathison and others knew that the full name of Mo’s apprentice Tang was Tang Ren, the tallest young man was Qin Feng, and the last one was Song Yi.

All three claim to be detectives.

Except for Tang Ren, the other two are detectives on the Crimaster rankings.

Among them, Qin Feng ranked second and Song Yi ranked one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight (1998).

Hearing this, Mathison finally remembered why he felt that the green coat was familiar. It was mainly because he had come across a movie poster before, and the leading actor on it was wearing the same coat.

That movie is called Detective Chinatown or something, and Mathison hasn’t watched it.

After all, it is a very old memory that has happened in his previous life. Hence, he didn’t have the ability to remember it. It is very rare for him to have the slightest impression of that movie poster.

The cause of the whole incident was a homicide. The godfather of Chinatown in New York, Wu Zhiyuan, known as “Uncle Seven”, had his son killed a few days ago.

Then he announced a detective competition, promising a reward of five million for the one that finds the killer.

Qin Feng used some clues to infer that the murderer was a serial killer. He had just committed his third case and taken out the victim’s liver.

Then the crime was witnessed by Qin Feng and the others, and the chase began, only for Barbara to end it. If she did not take action, the murderer might have escaped, then new victims would appear soon.

As for these “famous detectives” on the Crimaster ranking, they obviously don’t include Daredevil, Batman, or Jessica…

Well, Daredevil is a lawyer, but a lot of his work is actually no different from a detective.

Mathison didn’t know who the man who made the Crimaster rankings was. The world’s number one detective was actually Q, not Batman. Batman wasn’t even on the rankings.

“You said you are the second detective in the world?”

Barbara scanned Qin Feng up and down, her eyes were filled with disbelief. Everyone could tell that she was very upset.

“Why is the number one Q? Why not Batman?”

“I… I’m not in the world… the second in the world… but the… the second in Crimaster.”

Qin Feng trembled, “I know… know… Batman, I’m actually… also… his fan!”

Although Crimaster is a global app, it is the highest temple in the eyes of reasoning enthusiasts. But in the end, it is just a gathering place for a group of enthusiasts. There may be many serious detectives in it, but they’re definitely rare.

Just like the current five-elements murder case, after hearing about the weird locations, birth dates, and lost organs of the dead, Mathison already knew the pattern of the murderer’s crimes.

In essence, the designed riddle contains the same idea. If it weren’t for fear that the Americans would not understand it, Mathison would have long wanted to use the five elements and yin & yang to design a notice letter.

But these “famous detectives” on Crimaster need to be reminded to guess the truth.

These detectives cannot even be compared to detectives of Gordon’s, Starling’s, and Bob’s level, let alone Johnny English.

In other words, Qin Feng’s IQ may not be weaker than that of Starling, but that’s about it.

After holding a conversation with Tang Ren and Song Yi, he found out that Song Yi’s IQ is very average, and Tang Ren’s may still be below average.

Mathison didn’t know whether Qin Feng is a real Batman fan or not, but he does treasure the criminals captured by Batman, especially the Joker incident eight years ago.

In fact, he seems to be more like a fan of the Joker…

It didn’t take long for the police from the Chinatown Branch of the New York Police Department to arrive.

The leader is actually a female police officer named Chen Ying, who is also one of the best criminal profilers in the New York Police Department.

When she learned that Barbara was the daughter of the GCPD Director, her attitude was obviously much more friendly.

“It’s incredible that the murderer was Dr. James Princefield.”

Tang Ren helped Qin Feng to narrate the whole case again. If Qin Feng were to talk about it, he might take until dawn to do so.

Chen Ying ordered her subordinates to take away the unconscious James, and then the site also needed to be checked up.

Qin Feng, Tang Ren, and Song Yi had to go to the police station to make an official statement.

In fact, Mathison and the others also had to go to the police station, but because of Barbara’s presence, they could leave directly…
