Chapter 206: Strange Murder Case (1/2)

"Kent, there is a bizarre murder in Queens. This is the eleventh murder case so far. I need more reports and photos related to this case. Recently, everyone is tired of the topic of superheroes. Several news reports about the Thunder Agents published by Frontline have received mediocre responses..."

In the Frontline newspaper office, the boss Ben Yurich said to Colin.

"A bizarre murder?"

Hearing this, Colin's face showed a bit of curiosity.

There must be a reason for being called a bizarre murder. In the following investigation, Colin quickly knew why these murders were called bizarre.

From the information revealed by the police and the reports, the original murder took place in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a famous wealthy area in New York. A man who was jogging in the morning was found dead in the bushes near the park. The shriveled body caused a certain degree of trouble to the New York police's investigation at the time.

Therefore, from the judgment of the forensic doctor, the degree of shriveling of the body clearly showed that the time of death had exceeded half a year.

However, the belongings carried by the corpse and the description of the family clearly proved that the victim had been killed for less than twelve hours. Some neighbors even admitted that they had greeted the victim who had become a shrunken corpse in the early morning. At that time, the victim did not look like he had been dead for half a year.

Because of the strangeness of the corpse, it once caused great trouble to the New York Police Department responsible for the investigation.

And this was just the beginning. In the next few days, similar murders occurred all over New York City.

The victim died in a strange way, like a shrunken corpse.

Such a strange way of death naturally attracted a lot of media reports.

Under pressure, the New York Police Department had to set up a special investigation team to investigate these cases.

At the same time, the media also began to report the whole case through sensational headlines. They speculated about the murderer of the case, what kind of connection existed between these victims, why their deaths were so similar, who was behind it, a super villain, or some unknown mysterious power, or a ghost.

Of course, most of the media generally attributed these murders to vampires.

After all, the shrunken appearance of the deceased is very similar to the image of being sucked dry by vampires in the rumored death.

For this reason, reports of vampires appearing in New York City frequently appeared in newspapers, and everyone was a little panicked in an instant.

"Vampire."

After reading these reports on the case, Colin did not quite agree with the media's speculation about vampires.

This is obviously a topic created by the media to gain coverage. From the police reports and even the information released by the investigation team, although these deceased died in strange ways, they did not have the iconic wounds of being attacked by vampires. Moreover, in the anti-world, Colin has never found any traces of vampires.

But no matter what, these bizarre murders in New York still aroused Colin's interest and made him feel that he would continue to investigate.

At the same time, Colin also had a hunch that the truth of these cases was not simple.

This was the judgment given by [Super Premonition].

...

Queens, next to the dilapidated streets.

In order to further clarify the truth of the case, Colin came to the place where the murder occurred.

This is also the most recent case so far.

The alley is surrounded by yellow cordons to separate the entire crime scene from the surrounding area, and a large number of police officers nearby are collecting evidence at the scene.

Because of the presence of the media, the public is very concerned about the case.

In order to end it all as soon as possible, the New York Police Department dispatched a large number of manpower to investigate the case.

At the same time, the New York branch of Queens also warned the gangs in the neighborhood to be quiet during this period to avoid being shot.

The two victims were members of nearby gangs, and with the warning of the police, the gangs knew that this was not a good time to make trouble even if they had no brains.

Therefore, the long-lost public security in Queens has improved a little.

Standing not far from the alley, Colin used [Super Vision] to take a look at the situation at the crime scene.

The bodies of the two murdered gang members were moved away from the scene as soon as possible, and the police are currently only searching for evidence around them.

Retracting his eyes from the crime scene, Colin did not go to the alley to join in the fun.

He had seen many media reporters there, and it was obvious that they had heard the news and came to interview.

Turning his eyes, the situation on the other side of the court attracted Colin's attention.

There was a murder in the alley a few meters away, but there were still a group of black children playing basketball together on the court. The murder had no effect on them at that time.

However, from the occasional movement of these children's eyes and the subtle changes in their facial expressions.

Colin could see that all this was just their pretending to be calm. These children obviously knew something.

While thinking, Colin walked to the side of the court.

Standing around the court, he did not make any further moves, but just watched them play basketball quietly.

Having said that, Colin's action of standing still beside the court had obviously shaken the hearts of several black children in the basketball court.

The originally smooth dribbling began to make frequent mistakes, and this situation further confirmed Colin's idea that these kids knew something.

"Oops!"

At this moment, the black kid who was making a layup made a mistake, and the basketball he threw hit the basket and bounced high, drawing a huge parabola in the air and finally fell towards Colin.

Picking up the rolling basketball casually, with Colin's action, everyone on the court was attracted by the action of his hand.

"Sir, this is our basketball..."

On the court, several black children looked at each other in surprise, and finally a child who looked taller stepped forward and said.

Whoosh--

Looking at the other party's outstretched palm, Colin slightly paused.

Then he bent his wrist slightly, and the basketball in his hand drew a beautiful arc in the air and accurately fell into the basket in the distance.

Seeing the basketball that Colin threw in so easily, the black children couldn't help but exclaimed, and the vigilance in their eyes also weakened a little.

Colin had been silently observing the changes in the expressions on the faces of these black children. Seeing this, he suddenly understood something.

"It seems that you should have been playing basketball here all the time."

"I have a few more questions to ask you, but you don't look like you will tell me easily. So let's do this. I will play a basketball game with you. As long as I win, you will tell me what you saw. If you lose, I will not only give you ten dollars each, but I will not bother you again in the long run."

Faced with Colin's proposal, especially the temptation of ten dollars, the breathing of these black children could not help but become a little faster.

They looked at each other, and then the child who just spoke nodded: "Okay, it's a deal, sir."

Looking at the several black children who were eager to try on the court, Colin slightly raised his mouth and showed a faint smile. He took off his coat and put it on the bench on the court, and then stepped into the court.

Their eyes fell on the leather shoes on Colin's feet, and the eyes of several black children also flashed with confidence at the same time.

…

“…Officer, can you tell us about the development of the case?”

“No comment.”

“Officer, this is the eleventh murder case so far. Do you have anything to say about this?”

“No comment.”

“Officer, there are rumors that all of this is the work of vampires. Some people think that the newly established Thunderbolt Special Forces should be involved in the investigation. What do you think about this?”

“At present, the New York Police Department is still responsible for the case. I have nothing to say.”

At the entrance of the alley, with the arrival of the investigation team, the surrounding media immediately rushed to interview.

In response, the investigation team showed a silent attitude.

The investigation of the case is quite difficult. So far, they have not made any breakthroughs at all, so naturally they did not tell the media.

Rejecting further interviews and questions from the media, the investigation team entered the scene of the accident with the sound of camera shutters.

Snap, snap——

“27:0”

On the other side, on the court.

Colin dribbled the basketball, looked at the children who surrounded him in front of him, and smiled and reminded.

From the beginning, this was an unequal game.

For Colin, who has unlocked various superpowers, even if he does not use these powers, his physical strength alone is far superior to that of the children on the court.

Although, during the game, he has tried his best to keep his physical level at the level of ordinary people.

But with the addition of various abilities, he still showed a crushing level on the court.

After Colin broke through and made a three-pointer again, the black children in the game recognized the huge gap between them and Colin, and simply admitted defeat.

"We admit defeat, sir."

Panting heavily, several black children slumped on the ground and waved their hands.

On the other side, Colin's face did not show any fatigue, and even a drop of sweat did not remain.

Seeing this scene, they understood the gap between the two sides more clearly.

"Sir, are you a professional basketball player?"

After a long time of recovery, the leading black child could not help but ask Colin.

"No, I'm just an ordinary journalist."

Taking advantage of their break, Colin bought water from a nearby supermarket and handed it to these children, and he replied casually.

"Your basketball skills are better than anyone I know. Even the professional basketball players on TV may not be as good as you."

The leading black kid couldn't help but sigh as he took the water.

As he finished speaking, several other kids who were drinking water couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Not necessarily, definitely.

He silently replied in his heart that with Colin's current abilities, he would just go to a basketball game and bully people.

The result would not be much different from the previous game on the court.

After a basketball game, these black kids were completely convinced and told Colin what they knew.

From their descriptions, Colin also roughly figured out part of the truth about the murder in Queens.

According to the black children on the court, the two blacks who were killed were gang members from nearby communities. More than half of the blacks in Queens are in this situation. They have no father and cannot afford to go to college. Many people have been exposed to gang forces since childhood, and have become one of them imperceptibly.

The two murdered people were obviously in this situation. Because of the fierce competition, not everyone can get ahead in the gang. For example, the two blacks who were killed last night have always been small roles in the gang. When these children played basketball, the two of them gathered around and watched.

In this regard, these children did not think there was anything special until the murder happened.

The first person to discover the death of the two was one of the children playing basketball, but the black child who discovered it was not on the court today.

It is said that the child picked up the wrong basketball at that time and took up the head of one of the victims, which was quite a stimulus.

Although these children were not as "brave" as the black children who first discovered the murder scene, they also looked at the scene from a distance. From their description, the bodies of the two people were shriveled without any moisture, just like dried corpses that had lost all vitality.

At the same time, the most critical point is that the process from the two people being by the wall to disappearing and then being found as dried corpses did not exceed fifteen minutes, which means that the actual time of the two people's murder was shorter than the media reported.

"Oh, I remember..."

At this time, a black child drinking water on the court spoke in an uncertain tone.

"When those two people were there last night, I seemed to have seen them talking to someone, but the street lights were a little dim at the time, and I was in a hurry to play basketball, so I didn't look too carefully. When I looked back, these people had disappeared. I thought they had just left, who knew..."

"Can you still remember the appearance of the person who talked to them?"

From the child's words, Colin noticed a hint of abnormality and asked hurriedly.

"I can't remember clearly."

Shaking his head, the black child who was drinking water frowned and thought for a while: "I didn't see it too clearly at the time, I just felt that the other person looked a little blurry, and it seemed that there were a lot of fluffy hair..."
