A Certain Marvel Super Player

Jim Rod was stunned when he heard this.

Locke's expression brightened.

"Why, Mr. Rhodes, you're not just joking, are you?"

"...What, no!"

Jim Rod came back to his senses quickly in a daze, looked at the expression on Locke's face, and laughed loudly: "I just thought Mr. Broughton had a busy schedule..."

"It was before this morning, and it's not now," Locke said.

Jim Lord: “…”

Originally, according to the normal story rhythm, the story should be written like this.

Locke discovered the body, and then the villain, Jim Rod, became furious and directly arranged for his men to find a way to destroy Anila Kaz's body, or make Anila Kaz's body disappear again.

In this case, things will be easier to handle.

If the other party flips the table, then just flip the table and play. Locke doesn't need to take action. Carrie can handle it by herself. Moreover, it doesn't even need a night, just an hour is enough.

In the remaining time, I need to clean up my tail and then return to New York early tomorrow morning. The time is just right.

This is a well-written script.

But right now?

Someone didn't follow the script and directly dealt with Locke's incompetence. Moreover, from a certain perspective, Jim Rod can be regarded as a highly intelligent opponent.

the reason is simple.

Bushen Katz's suicide note is untenable. Although the motive is stated, Leri Lake is not open to the public in December. Moreover, if it is really Busson Katz who did it, then it must be It requires the cooperation of people within Dolan Church.

Just a surveillance cannot be modified by Bushen Katz.

Then this so-called Mullen was introduced.

Mullen is a member of the church, and Jim Rhodes even said that Mullen is the fifth in command of the church. If Mullen is the murderer, and Bushen Katz just doesn’t want Mullen to be exposed and chooses to sacrifice himself, then That makes perfect sense.

Perfect logical chain.

but……

Why do you have to provoke me?

Locke looked at Jim Rod with a smile on his face. He was already hesitating, but considering that the chance of survival was determined by himself, he already planned to follow his own rules.

However, Jim Rod was so stubborn that he insisted on provoking him.

I just said that you have a high IQ. Unexpectedly, you made a mistake again.

Locke said with a smile: "So, Mr. Rhodes, am I welcome to attend your witch trial gathering in three days?"

Jim Rod's expression was a little tense: "Of course, Mr. Broughton can come to participate, which is something to be happy about."

"Then it's settled."

Locke smiled and said: "The ticket can be changed at any time. When you come to New Orleans, it is rare to encounter this kind of event that I heard is once in a hundred years. It would be a shame not to experience it."

Finished.

Locke left a message that I must be there, and then left with Carrie.

Jim Rod's entire face collapsed the moment Locke turned around.

Why the hell am I so mean-mouthed?

but……

After Jim Rod's face fell, he was filled with smiles again in an instant. He walked up and sent away Copp, Locke and Carrie who had taken Maren away with a smile.

"Boss..."

"Shut up!"

When Jim Rod's men came over again and were about to speak, there was no doubt that the one who hit the crater directly bore the fire of Jim Rod's depression that had nowhere to vent.

after awhile.

Jim Rod's eyes flickered: "How's it going in Fox?"

"That witch is from outside, and she's well hidden."

"...After asking him to find it, don't do anything yet and give me the information."

"good."

Jim Rod looked at the disappeared car taillights, took a deep breath to calm his inner depression, and then exhaled heavily.

In an interrogation room at the New Orleans Police Department.

After Ian Mullen was brought back, he sat in the interrogation room.

but……

The situation is very strange.

In the observation room.

Detective Kaino flipped through the information about Ian Mullen printed by the police, and then looked at Ian Mullen in the interrogation room through the observation mirror with some strangeness: "From the time I came back to now, it seems that He didn't even say a word."

Locke and Carrie are also in the observation room with temporary visitor signs.

at this time.

The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and then Detective Cope Thornton walked in holding a stack of documents. Ian Mullen, who was sitting in the chair, then pulled his eyes away from his gaze and fell on Inspector Cope Thornton.

"good afternoon."

Kaopu smiled like an old friend, pulled out his chair, sat down, and said with concern: "Do you need a cup of coffee? The coffee here is pretty good."

Said.

Copp didn't wait for Ian Mullen opposite to speak, and shouted towards the door.

Detective Kaino in the observation room looked at Kaopu who was talking to the suspect in the interrogation room. His face was full of energy, like an old general who had everything under control. The corners of his mouth raised. He introduced to Locke and Carrie: "Any suspect, as long as Copp seizes the opportunity, will be exposed."

Carrie said aloud: "Is this why you like Copp?"

Detective Kainuo, who had a little fan girl expression written all over his face, was slightly shocked, laughed dryly, and looked at Carrie with a haha.

Carrie looked at Detective Keno: "Detective Thornton seems to be ten years older than Detective Keno."

Detective Keno coughed and said haha: "I just admire Detective Thornton."

Uh-huh.

appreciate.

Carrie glanced at Locke, and then said, "But why does Inspector Thornton look so...unkempt?"

Detective Keno was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice: "Maybe it's because Detective Thornton doesn't have any other hobbies."

Carrie said oh and looked at Locke out of the corner of her eye.

seems to be saying.

Detective Keino also knew Copp had a gambling problem.

This was a topic that Locke and Carrie talked about when they rushed back from Lake Leary. Locke was leaning toward Detective Keno, which Detective Keno didn't know.

After all, according to Locke's analysis, if Detective Keno knew that Copp had a gambling addiction, he would definitely intervene.

Gwen would definitely do that.

Locke has experienced this. Before he got better, Gwen was sure that he had some mental problems. Even after he refused to see a psychiatrist, he started to study psychology on his own. Sometimes, a date could turn into a psychological problem. Psychotherapy sessions.

but……

Locke seems to have thought wrong.

In the interrogation room.

The coffee has been served over there.

Copp also took a cup of coffee, took a sip, and looked at Ian Mullen, who was sitting opposite and took the coffee but made no move: "If you want to say anything, you can."

Ian Mullen held his coffee and looked at Cope.

Make a sound.

The voice was hoarse, and seemed to have a hint of screaming.

"this……"

Carrie couldn't help but look at Locke.

Locke raised his eyebrows.

The scent of magic.

"I'm afraid you won't believe what I'm about to say."

"You can try."

Copp spread his hands, as if chatting about family matters, and looked at Ian Mullen with a smile: "We have plenty of time here."

Maren raised his head, his expression downcast.

Copp frowned.

"Ahem!"

Maren covered his lips, and when he moved his hand away, a pool of blood was clearly visible.

Kaopu quickly stood up and prepared to call the doctor.

Detective Kainuo in the observation room was also slightly startled when he saw this.

"Wait a moment."

Mullen looked at Copp who stood up and shouted quickly: "If you don't listen to me now, you will have no chance to know the truth of the matter."

Copp turned around and looked at Mullen.

"On December 22, I don't have any disease."

"The body feels better and the food tastes better."

"But on the morning of the 23rd, I became ill."

"And it's late-stage lung cancer."

"Although I steal and rob, I don't smoke."

"Do you know why I have this disease?"

"This is not a disease, this is a curse!"

"The Witch's Curse."

"..."

Ian Mullen used a hoarse voice to tell Copp the story of an evil witch and a righteous witch hunter.

To put it simply, he received a request for help from the believer Busan Katz. Her daughter was a witch, so he gave Busan Katz a ticket and asked her to bring Anila Katz to come. New Orleans.

Then……

When Ian Mullen carried out a witch-killing operation against Anila Katz, Anila Katz placed a vicious curse on him, causing his lungs to become pathological.

It was at that time that Bushen Katz saw his daughter become so angry that he could only shed tears and burned his daughter to death.

The story is wonderful.

The logic is also very clear and can perfectly correspond to the suicide note of Bussen Katz in New York.

As for why Mullen's fingerprints were on the body.

It's actually very simple.

At first, Malen and Busen worked together without anyone noticing, but they never thought that Anila Katz had a very good friend who cared about her. After learning that there was such a thing as a tracker, , Mullen quickly fished Anila Katz out of the lake, then took off her clothes and carried her to the woods.

"I never thought..."

Ian Mullen smiled sadly, coughed again, and spit out a mouthful of blood: "I am guilty, but I don't regret it. Witches are all bad. The Lord never says they are wrong."

Copp, who was standing at the door, yelled: "Doctor!"

Ian Mullen looked at Copp and shook his head: "This is still a curse. When I was cursed and spoke, the curse had already taken effect. I could feel that the Lord was already calling me."

Said.

Ian Mullen's pupils began to expand, and then he coughed unconsciously. Then, along with the blood he kept coughing up, Ian Mullen, who seemed to be hypnotized, vomited blood and looked at it. ceiling.

"host……"

"But……"

"Why hell?"

"No!!"

"puff!!!"

"..."
