The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 328 Greed and arresting first love (monthly pass and recommendation are a bit miserable) 5500 words for help!

After meeting Adam's first love girlfriend, Kay almost pulled William away from the scene in a desperate way.No way, it's too embarrassing.It is Adam who is unforgettable with Pepper, not Kay.But the problem is that Kay is wearing Adam's name again.

First love is always unforgettable.Adam and Pepper are no exception.During her senior year of high school, Pepper's parents had to move back to Connecticut for work reasons, and the two young children almost eloped.But it was stopped by Pepper's father. That time, Adam was almost killed by Pepper's father with a double-barreled shotgun.

Wow, that's when Pepper's dad actually shot it!Of course, looking back now, Pepper's father clearly aimed at a target ten meters away from Adam.

But the problem is that Adam was still young at that time.According to the memory at the time, Adam almost peed in fright.And like all little boys, Adam was so terrified that Pepper didn't see him for the last time when he left.What's even more amazing is that Adam didn't fall in love again after that.It doesn't count as being in love with Pepper. After all, in modern society, it doesn't take much to find Pepper. What's more, Adam's family is not short of money.

Kay guessed that Adam was startled by Papa Pepper's shot.There is a psychological shadow.

But anyway, looking at the way Pepper looked at him, Kay felt so awkward.As if I had done something bad, I was very guilty.But it was clear that he and Adam had a fair deal. Adam was dying at that time, and he wanted to avenge himself and his comrades in arms. Kai helped him achieve his wish, and the price was his body.

Both William and Mills were a little confused. Although they hadn't been in contact with Kai for a long time, they could all feel that Kai was a very reliable man, not talking much, calm and steady.As it is now, like a junior high school student who is in love for the first time, and runs away when he sees a girl he likes, they are very uncomfortable.

……

Seeing Kai running away, Pepper was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and smiled, that smile was very cheerful and gorgeous.But immediately, Pepper felt a strange gaze staring at him.

Turning her head, Tracy was looking at herself gossipingly.

"Be honest, what is your relationship with that Adam?"

"No way! We are ordinary high school classmates!" Pepper always felt that although her first love was not perfect, it was pure enough and interesting enough.But then again, whose first love is not full of regrets?People like Tracy and Mills are rare.

"Really?" Trish didn't believe it.She held up her hands as if to tickle Pepper's itch.

Pepper felt that it was too embarrassing to play such a trick in front of the hotel when he was old, so he immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll just say it...he is my first boyfriend."

"Really?" Tracy's whole body was glowing, and everyone loved gossip.Not to mention the gossip of my best friend. "Then how did you break up? He's handsome, why? Did he cheat?"

Pepper was reluctant to share that past, after all, his father took a shotgun and scared his boyfriend to pee his pants, which is really nothing to be proud of.So she changed the subject immediately.

"By the way, Trish, have you seen Mills work?"

"No...Mills is not willing to let me know those things." Sure enough, Tracy's attention was immediately diverted.In Tracy's life, Mills will always come first.It is true that Tracy seldom learned the specific content of his work from Mills, and he never talked about those cases with Tracy when he went home.

"Then do you want to see what Mills looks like at work!" Pepper was relieved to see Trish's attention being diverted.Unlike Tracy, who focuses on her family, although Pepper has been smooth sailing these years, even so, intrigue in the workplace is inevitable.This kind of small trick is simply handy.Of course, this is also related to Tracy's empathy. She could see that Pepper didn't seem to want to talk about those things, so she let things go.

In fact, just at that moment, Tracy deduced countless soap opera-style love affairs in her mind, such as the scumbag changing his heart, the girl meeting a better one, and amnesia in a car accident, the heroine/male protagonist’s cancer miscarriage and so on. A series of bloody plots.Anyway, there is no rush, there is plenty of time to dig slowly, sometimes it is more interesting to take it slowly like this than to learn the truth all at once!
And Tracy is indeed interested in Pepper's proposal.

"Isn't it? Will this bother Mills?"

"No! Let's just have a look."

"OK then!"

……

When William went to the scene with Kai, he wanted to ask Kai several times why he behaved so inconsistently, but he held back in the end.Because it was Kay's private matter, and he and Kay were not that familiar.It's not good to speak casually.

But Mills was more impatient, and he asked.

"You know Pepper?"

Kai thought for a while, and felt that this seemed impossible to hide.So just admit it.

"We were classmates in high school."

As for falling in love, Kay is a bit speechless.Because it was really not my fault, it was Adam's sin.

"Oh..." Mills said meaningfully, and the information contained in it was comparable to Tracy's imagination.I can't escape the matter of men and women.

Kay didn't want to talk about that, but grabbed the topic and said, "The one next to Pepper is..."

The two women basically looked exactly the same. At the beginning, Kay was too busy to care about Pepper's affairs, but now he changed the subject, just to talk about it.

"That's my wife."

"Pepper has sisters?" was Kay's first reaction.Because apart from twin sisters, it's hard to look like this.But according to Adam's memory, Pepper is the only child.

Now both Mills and William laughed, and Mills also understood why Tracy and Pepper laughed when William said the same thing.

……

Soon Kay and the others arrived at the scene.

In the office of a law firm, a man wearing only a pair of underwear is lying on his knees covered in blood, his head is resting on a stack of books, he is bound, but his right hand is released, holding a butcher's knife , There is a balance beside him. On one side of the balance is a one-pound weight, and on the other side is a piece of meat. It is not difficult to see from the scene that this piece of meat belonged to the deceased.

At the same time, a note was placed next to the balance, with a paragraph on it.

"One pound of human flesh, no more, no less, no cartilage, no hard bones, just fresh meat."

Holding this piece of paper, William read softly.

"From the Merchant of Venice."

Kai frowned. Although he didn't know this sentence, he knew the Merchant of Venice. He seemed to have learned this when he was in school.

William continued to read: "As long as the flesh is cut, he can be free."

Then Mills came over: "The tech found a lot of sweat on that chair over there."

"Of course, whoever is forced to cut off a piece of flesh with a gun will also be covered in sweat." Kai squinted his eyes and observed the crime scene. "The murderer wanted him to take his time and decide which piece of flesh to cut off."

Said Kai pointed to a photo on the wall and said, "Who is the woman in this photo?"

It was a photo of a woman, and in the photo, the woman's eyes were circled with blood.

"That's Gould's wife," Mills said, flipping through the site inspection records.

Gould is the name of the deceased, one of the most famous defense lawyers in Chicago, specializing in the defense of those wealthy criminals, and thus made a lot of money.His name is well known throughout the Chicago law enforcement system.One of the most hated of all cops.

"Why do you say the murderer did this?"

The murderer was extremely cunning and left no trace at the scene.He will only do what he thinks is necessary, and he will not do anything else.So Kai didn't think that he just left this intentionally to disgust them, the police officers who handled the case.Just like before, after Kay left, Mills and William found a note left by the murderer at the home of the No. 1 victim, which had already announced the next target.

"Is it because of what this woman saw?"

Mills speculated.

"Impossible!" But William decisively rejected this guess. "If this woman really saw something, it's not a corpse now. This murderer is very cautious!"

Kai heard Mills' speculation, but did not overthrow it in a hurry. Instead, he said thoughtfully: "What did she see..."

Thinking for a moment, Kay saw the wall opposite the picture.There is a painting hanging there.

An abstract painting.From his previous life to this life, Kai didn't have any artistic talent. Anyway, he couldn't understand the advantages of those abstract paintings, such as this one, full of chaotic color blocks and vertical and horizontal lines, gaudy, it looks like that, but In the end, what's the point... No matter what, Kay would never be willing to spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to buy such a painting.

Thinking of all these things, Kai came to the picture.

Kai didn't study the contents of the painting, and he couldn't figure it out. He just stared at the frame.He found that there were traces of being moved behind the picture frame. The picture seemed to have been hung here for a long time. The color of the wall covered by the picture frame was slightly different from the surrounding walls, because no one would be bored enough to clean the picture. behind the box.

"This painting has been moved!"

Hearing Kay's words, Mills immediately called for technicians to inspect the frame, canvas and the back of the frame.But still nothing.

"He's playing tricks on us!" Mills couldn't bear it any longer. The murderer kept playing tricks and setting up puzzles. This was playing tricks on them!
Kay looks at Mills with displeasure, because he doesn't behave like a qualified policeman.

"Mr. Mills, as a policeman, the most basic quality is to keep a calm head. Getting angry will have no effect on your work!"

Faced with such an obvious reprimand from Kai, Mills wanted to refute, but seeing Kai's stern and oppressive eyes, he was instantly cowed for some reason.Mills is not a timid person. The medal he got in the army is the best explanation, but facing Kay, he found that he really didn't dare to choke.

After Mills was finished, Kay continued to inspect the frame.Then he discovered that there was something wrong with the picture frame.

This picture frame was installed upside down on the wall, because there is an extra trace of hanging nails on the picture frame.

"The picture frame was moved..." Then Kai thought of something, and said to the technicians beside him, "Check the wall."

Soon, technicians found fingerprints, and more than one, on the wall behind the frame.

After the technicians irradiated all the fingerprints with ultraviolet light, all the fingerprints formed two words.

"Help me!"

help me!

"That guy has absolutely nowhere to escape now!" Mills was very excited.

"what!!!"

At this moment, Mills' excitement was interrupted by a scream. Everyone turned their heads and found that two women who looked exactly the same entered the crime scene at some point!

Seeing these two women, Kay's first reaction was to look at Mills and William!

He didn't expect there to be such an amateur cop. Are all Chicago cops pigs?To actually let two unrelated women enter the crime scene that is still under investigation?If this was left in his previous life, everyone from the criminal investigation captain to the leader in charge would have to leave!
This is quite a serious malfeasance!
Even during the trial, it will become a powerful proof for the defense!This will allow the judge to decide that the evidence from the on-site investigation is unreliable, allowing the criminal to go unpunished!

Mills and William were also dumbfounded.

They never expected that the two women would come here.

"Mr. Mills! Although I am not a Chicago police officer and have no jurisdiction over you, I still want to warn you. You are in big trouble! Now, immediately! Immediately! Get your ladies out of here!"

Mills flushed instantly. It was one thing for him to be short-tempered, but quite another to be unreasonable.

It was the first time that Tracy saw Mills so embarrassed, she was so frightened that she was at a loss and her face was pale.Of course, this half is also frightened by the dead.

Pepper felt uncomfortable immediately when she saw her best friend being so scared by 'Adam'.Although Pepper is only a secretary, she is in the privileged class as the assistant of Tony Stark, the world's number one playboy.Perhaps they were at the scene of the crime and made a mistake.But Pepper was sure to suppress it so that it never happened.

"Don't worry, Tracy, nothing will happen. I'll find someone to settle this!"

After speaking, Pepper turned her head to look at Kai, her expression was definitely not happy, and she didn't expect that when Kai saw her again, he would actually show his face to her!

Pepper's words and expression made Kai's frown deepen.In his view, handling a case is a very serious matter.To achieve justice for the innocent and punish the evil is the most sacred thing, but Pepper's words are completely insulting everyone here!
Kay waved Kim and Hayley over.

"Arrest her, the charges are ready-made! And tell other people, let them be careful about the traces left by these two ladies, and if they find that the evidence at the scene is destroyed, then sue them again!"

"Huh?" Jin opened his mouth.

"What? Didn't you learn the rules of protecting the scene in the police school?"

"Oh oh oh!" Seeing Kai's serious face, Jin immediately put aside Pepper's identity as the most famous secret in the United States!
"Adam!!!" Pepper was really angry.

Her identity doesn't just represent herself!
Ke Kai doesn't care about this, indeed, Pepper and Adam have such a relationship.But the question is, what the hell does this have to do with Kai? If it was normal, in order to avoid embarrassment, Kai would naturally keep as far away from this woman as possible.But what time is it now?
Let's not talk about the case itself, just say that Susie's mother is also involved behind it, and Kay has to take it seriously!More importantly, Kay despised Pepper's behavior.What did she think of the police?The security of their home?
So just like that, on the first day our secretary of the Stark Group president met his old lover, he was personally sent to the detention room of the police station by his old lover.

When the two policewomen handcuffed Tracy and Pepper, Tracy panicked, while Pepper felt betrayed.She still can't believe that Adam will treat her like this.

Mills opened his mouth to say something.But in the end, he didn't dare to say it.He only dared to chase after him and go back to the police station with Tracy.

"Also, who put them in just now, go back and find your immediate superior!"

Kay is not a Chicago policeman, and most of the policemen present don't even know who he is.But when Kaihu gave orders with a straight face, everyone at the scene obeyed subconsciously and anxiously, for fear that someone who was not good would be bullied.But in fact, they don't know what they are afraid of.

"Okay, let's continue." Kai ignored the others.Instead, continue to chat with William about the case.

William hesitated to speak, wanting to intercede.Kai saw that William was unable to work at all, so he could only tell the truth. "Don't worry about them, remember, I'm not a Chicago cop."

The reason is simple, Kay is not a Chicago policeman, and the order he issued is naturally a piece of waste paper.He just simply didn't like unrelated people entering the crime scene, and Pepper's indifferent attitude.He was just trying to scare the two women. Of course, if the Chicago police had to prosecute them, Kay couldn't help it.

He really doesn't know them well.

But William knows what he means, it depends on how he and Mills operate.

In fact, apart from the fingerprints on the wall, there was not even a footprint on the ground at the scene, destroying all the evidence.With William's status in the Chicago Police Department, he can do it in one sentence.

Of course, the behavior of these two women is indeed not worth advocating.

"By the way, where did we just talk?"

"Oh, I just said that these are the fingerprints of the murderer."

"Oh, what do you think?"

"I... It's hard to say, although we only found two cases, but this does not meet the criminal marks shown by the murderer."

The so-called criminal marking behavior refers to a special behavior implemented by criminals in order to meet certain psychological or emotional needs, and it is a special and obvious criminal habit of committing crimes.The criminal psychology and criminal motives pointed to by the marking behavior of the crime scene provide clues for the investigation, which is helpful for the analysis of the case series and the investigation of the case.

Both the gluttony case and this greed case have several characteristics.The scene seemed messy, but in fact there were no clues or evidence to use, not to mention hair fingerprints, and even all traces of the murderer were cleaned up at the scene.In this regard, the two cases are almost identical, and all fingerprints at the scene have been wiped clean.Except the ones on the wall.

Secondly, it seems that the murderer didn't simply want to kill the two victims, what he did was more like punishment!And it's about religion.

In the end, the murderer seems to be giving instructions intentionally, that is, the murder notice.

Like that note from the first case.

Although there is also a note here, the content of the note is not announced.

"I think so too. If it's not as expected, this should be the notice left by the murderer!"

"You mean these are the fingerprints of the next victim?"

"very possible!"

……

While Kay was researching the case, the Chicago Police Department was already blown up.

Kay really didn't know that Pepper was Tony Stark's secretary.The arrest of Tony Stark's secretary caused an uproar in the upper echelons of the Chicago Police Department, especially when Stark Industries was planning to hold an industrial expo in Chicago!
You must know that next year's Industrial Expo has become the most important event in Chicago in recent years, which has an extraordinary influence on Chicago's economy.

If it was someone else, perhaps neither the Chicago government nor the police thought that someone would have any impact on such a major event because of the arrest of a small secretary.But if this person is Tony Stark, that's another story.

Apart from his incomparable talent and countless gossip news, this playboy is most famous for his willful and reckless personality.He can do it!
