The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 70 It's My Time to Play the Cards (Second Update!)
half a month later.

On February [-], Lake attended the first-ever funeral.

Funeral of John Martinez.

In the New York Cemetery Park, Lake, George, and Beckett stood together, looking at Joe not far away, who was wearing black clothes and receiving comfort from everyone.

"Hey."

Lake looked at Beckett curiously: "Why don't you go comfort me."

Beckett looked at Lake and asked curiously, "Why don't you go, you know, Joe is your partner."

Lake shook his head and said, "I don't know how to comfort people."

His principles of life are only four words.

Simple and crude.

The simpler and ruder the better.

For those who can do it, try to speak as little as possible, that is the villain's patent. Lake felt that if he could speak well, he wouldn't let Maureen go astray.

Beckett shook his head when he heard Lake's words, got up and walked towards Joe who was not far away.

Lake and George stood under a tree and smoked.

"The local prosecutor has decided to prosecute?"

"This case has attracted a lot of attention. We don't have any evidence that the guy who turned himself in was instructed by someone. It's pretty good that it can be delayed until now."

"I know."

Lake said so.

It's not just that there is no evidence, it's Hydra's flawless work.

The person who sent the email anonymously died of a robbery escalation. The thief ran a red light and was hit by a passing truck. There is no proof of his death.

Joe and John's family, John also died from the escalation of the robbery, Joe was seriously injured, and the two thieves were also shot dead on the spot by the police who happened to hear the gunshots over there.

As for the killer?
Ha ha.

An employee of John Martinez's rival company anonymously reported that their boss hired a killer. A suicide note was found in the boss's house, saying that he hired the killer for a design project of John. As for the boss, after being arrested He died the night before the report. As a result of the autopsy, he suffered a heart attack.

what?
Can Surviving Joe prove otherwise?
Unfortunately.

Joe's testimony is vague, because Joe himself has no way to confirm whether it was the two thieves who shot him or the killer later.

This ring is a ring.

Hydra can be described as seamless and watertight. It seems that all of this is telling people that all of this is just a very coincidental coincidence.

And because someone came over and turned himself in.

The enthusiasm for restarting the investigation of the case just announced has decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye during this month. As for the eyewitness who only has a name but cannot be found, not many people care about it.

Because the murderer has surrendered himself, why do we need witnesses?

After about half an hour.

The relatives and friends who came to John's funeral left one after another. The pastor who came here to preside over the funeral ceremony also received the money this time, and left after saying a word to Joe about God.

half a month later.

The revived Howard Stark accidental death case is back in New York court.

in fact……

This also does not require a trial.

The suspect Clark Malone confessed to his hit-and-run case. Although there was no physical evidence or witness evidence, he himself pleaded guilty and did not need to go through any procedures.

After half an hour of discussion by the jury, the case reached its verdict.

Clark Malone was sentenced to ten years in prison.

This time, the restarted case was once again declared closed at the moment when the judge dropped the hammer.

The major media in New York once again used this news as their front-page headlines to report, and Stark Industries, which was at the forefront of this feast, did not accept any media interviews.

Two days later, February NO.20.

Lake came to Joe's door with flowers on this day.

Do not misunderstand.

Lake was not interested in married women, and likewise, had nothing wrong with widows.

Joe opened the door, and looked at Lake who was at the door, and was slightly taken aback.

Lake handed over the flowers in his hand: "My condolences."

"……thanks."

Joe took the flowers, thanked him, and after a moment of silence, invited Lake to enter the house.

in the living room.

Joe put the flowers on the bar and looked at Lake, "I've been applying for leave with the superintendent for a while."

Lake glanced at Joe: "Give up?"

Joe looked at Lake.

Lake said: "The real murderer has not been caught yet. Why, you still think that this is a coincidence. It's not like you."

"The murderer has been sentenced."

"I know, I was in court on the day of the sentencing."

"That witness never seemed to exist."

"Right."

"Then, we have nothing to do."

"is it?"

Lake chuckled, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Joe: "Are you okay today, I'll take you somewhere."

Joe: "..."

Stark Industries Building.

Pepper Potts, who had been standing at the door, saw Lake who got out of the car and walked over from not far away, and said, "Inspector Edwin."

Lake shook hands with Pepper, and then introduced Joe who was next to him: "This is Detective Joe Martinez. I'm here today. I need to bother you with some formalities. Sorry for the trouble."

Pepper smiled: "This way please."

in the conference room.

Joe, who was sitting on the seat, looked at Lake who was playing with snakes on his mobile phone with his head down, and frowned: "We're here..."

Lake stretched out his hand towards Joe without raising his head, expressing his peace of mind.

soon.

Pepper Potts re-entered.

Lake's game has just come to an end.

"Here's the information you need."

"Thank you."

Lake took the information that Pepper handed over and looked through it. The information was enough for the Commercial Crime Investigation Section to conduct an investigation, and then handed it directly to Joe.

Joe took over and looked.

Christine Business Group.

These materials are all documents of Christine’s business group, which are very confidential, and there are even testimonies of several New York state congressmen, to show that Christine has been bribing them in business over the years to obtain some political convenience.

only?

Joe looked at Lake, a little displeased.

Lake looked at Joe and said, "The killer who entered your house bit his tongue and killed himself in the interrogation room. This is known to the outside world, but the killer still said something when he was dying."

Joe sat up straight: "What?"

Lake said: "The task that the killer received was received from this Christine business group."

This is what Olivia told him the next day.

but……

Olivia's words are very convincing, but unfortunately, there is no evidence, and evidence is needed to solve the case.

Just right.

Tony Stark also received news that someone had surrendered, so he asked Pepper Potts to invite Lake. At Stark Manor, Tony Stark asked Lake about the authenticity of this matter.

Lake didn't speak, but asked Tony Stark whether he believed what the surrendered man said.

Tony shook his head in silence for a while.
