The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

"Hey!"

"999 Incident, George, a police officer was shot on 27th Street."

"what?"

"..."

George got up straight from the phone.

Looking at the bar, after men of different skin tones in casual clothes hung up the phone, they kept silent and walked out of the bar in a hurry.

Boom!

The door to the bar opened.

The sound of thunder and majestic rain came into the bar.

Wow!

Wow!

Wow!

Thirty-seventh Street.

Lycra put on the handbrake and said to Cassel, who had to follow him and sat in the co-pilot: "Stay in the car, understand?"

Not finished.

Cassel has ignored the heavy rain outside, pushed the door and walked out.

Rick shook his head helplessly.

get off.

The canopy had been pulled up by the police, and under the canopy, a female patrol officer who looked about thirty years old fell to the ground motionless.

Brows twitched.

One shot kills.

good guy.

To shoot law enforcement officers, or in this way of execution?

Is this preparation to provoke the wrath of nearly 80,000 law enforcement officers in the NYPD?

if so.

Congrats to this guy, he did it successfully.

Lake ignored the heavy rain and didn't need to show his credentials at all. He just brushed his face and walked into the cordon.

Beckett was the first to arrive at the scene with Ryan and Esposito.

Joe is there too.

After Lake walked in, he greeted several people.

Ryan nodded to Lake, and then reported the information: "Rowling Ford, 31 years old, a patrol officer at the 22nd Precinct, is on patrol tonight. This is the daily patrol route."

"I know her."

Joe squatted down and looked at Rowling lying on the ground: "We went to the academy together."

"Is she married?"

"over."

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Joe got up and covered his forehead: "But divorced and have two children, Fake."

Lake looked up at the surveillance camera not far away: "Over there, facing the alley, is there anything photographed?"

"Someone has been sent to the transportation team to retrieve it."

"damn it."

Whoa whoa whoa.

A police car suddenly started moving.

Lake and the others turned to look.

A police officer ran over: "Just now, a passerby provided information. After the gunshots rang out, he saw a man with a hood hurriedly left the exit over there and walked towards 82nd Street without an umbrella. ."

soon.

Communication came from the walkie-talkies of all present.

"Attention to all units, in the 999 incident, the suspect is..."

Before the walkie-talkie could finish speaking, what could be heard nearby was the wave after wave of alarm bells.

Ninety-nine events.

Police Injury or Death Code.

This is a vicious event.

If the life safety of law enforcement officers is not guaranteed, who will protect the safety of the public? The New York Police Department has always had only one attitude towards the 999 incident.

Whoever dares to trigger ninety-nine-nine, the New York Police Department has traced it to a low level, and when the court accepts this case, it will always choose the death penalty for consideration.

This is a vicious incident and must be severely punished.

soon.

The NYPD vehicle came, and Rowling Ford was put in a body bag.

The police here are also ready to close the team first.

Lake also said to Beckett and Joe and George: "Where you need help from Homeland Security, although I say, I will also ask Homeland Security to help investigate tomorrow."

The three nodded.

no way.

There were no direct witnesses at the scene. The nearest patrol car arrived here ten minutes after the incident. The hooded man who had just been discovered had already disappeared on the road.

the next day.

Lake returned to the Homeland Building and directly asked his assistant Tiffany to connect with the New York Police Department's serious crime department, saying that the Homeland Security Bureau would not refuse anywhere that the Homeland Security Bureau could help.

but……

There are few clues.

even in the afternoon.

Another case arose.

The one who died was also the patrolman, and this time, he died in the car.

The crime took place on a highway in Queens.

When Lake arrived at the scene of the crime, people from the New York Police Department had already arrived.

but……

No clue.

This is Queens, and it’s the worst place with the worst security and gangs. The roadside surveillance is basically set up, and it will be destroyed if it is installed. The NYPD doesn’t bother to waste money when it comes and goes.

passerby?

No clues at all.

Again.

This is an area with a lot of gangsters. The police officer who died in the patrol car was parked on the side of the road, waiting for his partner to buy a hamburger and come back to put his stomach.

The partner had only been gone for ten minutes, and by the time he returned with a Coke and a hamburger, his partner was already dead.

"Fake!"

Ryan rubbed his short hair irritably.

"what happened?"

"The deceased officer had a good relationship with Ryan."

"..."

Ryan was a little manic: "Damn, he even greeted me when he went out on patrol this morning."

Lake was silent.

He also has anger.

After all, what Lake is saying, he is a killer with his own rules, and he has also served in the New York Police Department.

but……

There are no clues, and there is no use in being annoyed.

Lake stood on the spot, looked around, trying to find any clues, but unfortunately found nothing.

Monitoring is useless.

Passersby have no clues, and, even if there is, in terms of the temperament of the gangsters here, hehe, not to mention whether they will say it or not, even if they will, they have to use a polygraph to test it first.

Poor hills and bad waters make troublesome people.

in the Commonwealth.

Most of the people living at the bottom are such scumbags.

night time.

Lake got up from the pool on the balcony, wrapped a bath towel, took a deep breath, and looked at New York City at night.

This thing is not done by the dark world.

Lake had just walked around the Continental Hotel. After confirmation, he repeatedly confirmed that the killer was not an insider.

Killers generally don't take orders from law enforcement.

Because the killers in the circle are very clear about what kind of anger they will face once they kill the law enforcement officers, this is also an unspoken rule, and some new killers will be informed of this after entering the circle.

Of course.

It is not ruled out that some daring killers will choose to take orders.

Can.

Whether it's Maureen who died last night or the patrolman who died today, frankly speaking, with their worth, it's hard for a killer in the circle to risk the wrath of the New York Police Department to take this list.

Although this is not sound, it is true.

Just like Lake.

If someone places an order at the mainland hotel, it will be less than 1 million, and no one will see it. If it is less than 2 million, there may be a new killer, but he will be slapped directly by his organization or teacher.

With Lake's current status, at least 5 million, will there be murder to consider whether to take this order at a huge risk.

After all, Lake has the bonus of law enforcement agencies.

City councilor?

State Assemblyman.

Congressman?

These types are clearly priced at the Continental Hotel. To receive a list of congressmen, the money is similar to that of Lake, but the risk has dropped by more than one grade.

so……

It's not inside the circle, that's the little white outside the circle.

Random kills?

Or hate murder?

Lake's eyes flickered.

three days later.

The investigation by the New York Police Department and even the Department of Homeland Security has reached a dead end. The only clue is a man with a hood, who can't see clearly, only known as a male, 1.75 meters tall, and weighs about 130 or so. Photo of a man in a hood.

But this kind of person does not have an aircraft carrier in New York, and also has a ship.

afternoon.

A message came from the New York Forensic Laboratory.

The bullet that killed Rowling Ford disappeared after piercing the eyebrow, but the ballistic report of the bullet that killed the second police officer came out.

"A 9mm semi-automatic rifle."

"SIG pistol, or EAA pistol from Stark Industries."

"EAA?"

Lake also came to the forensic laboratory with Beckett and others, and frowned upon hearing this sentence: "How good is the match of the EAA pistol?"

The forensic officer thought about it: "It's hard to say, but the opinion of our laboratory is that the probability of EAA pistols is higher."

Lake and George looked at each other.

For SIG pistols, there are a lot of them in the New York black market.

But EAA?

This pistol, developed specifically for women's defense, is also available on the black market, but rarely.

Who made him a female pistol.

so……

Although EAA has a Stark military guarantee, this gun is rarely circulated on the black market. Even, from the production of the EAA pistol to the present, few black markets in New York are willing to buy or sell this pistol.

even.

Most of the EAA pistols circulating in the black market in New York are stolen.

no doubt.

This one too.

Simple.

Would you buy yourself a genuine pistol to shoot law enforcement officers?

Lake looked directly at George: "You go to Queens, I go to Hell's Kitchen?"

George nodded.

There are only two black market dealers who can sell this EAA pistol today, one in Queens and the other in Hell’s Kitchen. Moreover, the biggest feature of this black market pistol dealer is that he likes to keep accounts. Who buys what from them, they will write.

Of course.

They will not remember, but trust me, they will save money.

Hell's Kitchen.

As New York City's not-so-famous sanctuary, it's hard to imagine that the location of Hell's Kitchen is not in rural Queens or in the commoner Brooklyn, but right next to the wealthy Manhattan.

Although Lake lived in Manhattan, he visited Hell's Kitchen only a handful of times.

without him.

Too cheap.

Although Lake does not have a full level now, and is not a full-level boss, but, in Lake's eyes, Hell's Kitchen is no different from Novice Village, and Lake feels that it is too cheap to hang around in Hell's Kitchen.

Obviously can develop to the sea of ​​​​stars, why look down at this dirty mess?

but……

Although Lake has not been here a few times, he is still very strong about the dozen or so flying hair organizations squeezed into a rectangular area that faces Eighth Avenue in the east and the Hudson River in the west.

Under the watchful eyes of several idlers, Lake kicked open the store with the sign [Recycled Second-hand Items] in front of him.

boom!
