Marvel's Chronicle of Multiverse Warfare

Chapter 817 The real suspect

"The New York City Police Department is investigating a serious case. New York City celebrity Armand Duquesne was found murdered in his residence yesterday. Witnesses said they saw a mysterious figure fleeing the scene... The description is consistent with the man who was involved in the robbery at the auction last night. Faced with the assassin, these two incidents led the police to wonder whether Ronin had really returned to New York and whether he had actually hurt Armand Duquesne."

Kate Bishop, wearing silk pajamas, sat alone on the sofa, watching the news on TV, looking nervous.

The mysterious figure they were talking about was actually her.

It's just that many people regarded her as a ronin, and they might even think that it was a ronin who killed Armand.

At this time, Kate Bishop couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If Li Heng hadn't come to her door last night, she might have been extremely panicked by now. But even so, she still felt a little uneasy.

"Don't be nervous." A strange voice suddenly appeared behind Kate. She subconsciously grabbed the long bow next to her and drew it, but in the blink of an eye, she remembered where she had heard that voice. She stood up and turned around. Turning around, she saw Li Heng standing behind her.

"Look at this thing. Armand's fatal injury was a sword wound on his vest!" Li Heng handed the autopsy report in his hand to Kate Bishop, and at the same time glanced at her turbulent chest, you I have to admit that the little girl back then has indeed grown up.

"According to our investigation, Jack Duquesne has participated in many swordsmanship exercises and actual combat drills. He has also won many championships in various competitions and is a real swordsman." Today, Li Heng and Jack Duquesne are just Just by shaking hands, you can basically judge his level of strength.

Jack did have some abilities, but they didn't exceed Li Heng's expectations.

"You mean, it was Jack who killed Armand." Kate Bishop didn't know how to read the autopsy report. What he really saw was the photo of the wound on the body attached to the entire autopsy report. Such wounds , she had already discovered something when she first saw Armand's body.

"No, on the contrary, I think the possibility of him killing his biological father is not high. Not everyone has the courage to kill his father." Li Heng shook his head and said with emotion: "If Jack really wants to kill his father, Father, before that, he has many opportunities to do this. There is no need to choose to do it after the explosion that attracted too much attention last night. The timing is not right."

"But it's possible that he was forced to do so, wasn't it?" Kate Bishop was still wary of Jack Duquesne.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Li Heng nodded, stared at Kate Bishop and said: "But you have to know that the biggest conflict between the two of them is your mother, so if it is really necessary, You can think about it, what role did your mother play in this?"

After all, it finally came to Ellen Rowe Bishop. Kate Bishop's face was filled with worry in an instant.

If he remembered well, her mother had been staying with Jack since the explosion last night.

Logically speaking, there was no need for this unmarried couple to separate last night.

In other words, either they both went to see Armand Duquesne, or neither of them went.

Perhaps Jack killed Armand impulsively, but Ellen Rowe must have been responsible for watching in person and even covering up afterwards.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, it is difficult for Ellen Rowe to escape certain responsibilities. As for the final determination of responsibility, it cannot be explained in a few words.

"I have to go." Kate Bishop stood up nervously. She had to see her mother about this matter and she had to ask clearly.

"It's up to you. Anyway, I'm not the one being chased by who knows how many people outside." Li Heng waved his hands indifferently and stood aside: "It's a pity that you are not a superpower or a superhero. It’s within my jurisdiction.”

Kate Bishop looked at Li Heng angrily. What do you mean by not being within the jurisdiction? Isn't he a policeman?

Li Heng smiled, reached out and patted Kate Bishop's shoulder gently. Kate, who was wearing silk pajamas, sat on the sofa all of a sudden, rising and falling.

"I don't suggest that you go to Jack for a positive argument now, because I believe that your mother will never believe what you say. Even if she knows that what you say is probably true, she will still defend Jack. ." Li Heng paused for a moment, and then said quietly: "You are her daughter, but he is also her fiancé. The relationship between the two of them may not be much weaker than the two of you."

Kate Bishop suddenly shivered and realized in that moment that she was at great risk of losing her mother.

"So we still have to find evidence first." Li Heng suggested with a smile: "Why don't you go back to your mother first and help me keep an eye on him."

Hearing what Li Heng said, Kate Bishop couldn't help but feel something in her heart.

Having said that, her current situation is not good. Those little gangsters with unknown origins outside will appear at any time and return to her own mother, the owner of a security company. It will be better no matter what.

"I suggest you not to leave your mother's side easily. If you really find any evidence, it is best not to make it public. Otherwise, you will not only put your own life in danger, but also put your mother's body in danger." We are in danger." Li Heng reminded him again.

"Okay, I get it." Kate Bishop didn't understand the hidden meaning of Li Heng's words at all, but then again, that's exactly what he wanted.

"In addition, I have to tell you that if your mother asks you if you have seen me, you should tell the truth as much as possible. Just say that I asked you about the fire in your apartment and other thoughts in your heart. Can you not tell me? Try not to say anything." Li Heng added immediately.

"So about my father." Kate Bishop still thought of her father.

"You always need to face this matter yourself. You can just say that you recognized me, and then I told you my investigation results. Just tell the truth. There is no need to hide it." Li Heng waved his hand. He lowered his eyes slightly, and then said: "At any time, you must prioritize protecting yourself and your mother, and you can put other things aside first."

"Yeah!" Kate Bishop bit her lip and nodded. No matter how good it was, justice or the truth would not be worth her mother's safety in the end.

"Okay, I have to go find Barton. There has been no news about that guy for a while, and I don't know how he is doing now." Li Heng stood up, looked at Kate Bishop and said, "How about you go? Take a shower, then change into a set of clothes, and I’ll drop you off near your mother’s company.”

"Well!" Kate Bishop was so worried that she didn't think much about it and obediently entered the bathroom to take a shower.

Li Heng walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window alone and looked at the beautiful scenery outside, but his mind turned to another place.

Do you really think he can't tell? In these matters, Jack Duquesne seems to be the most suspect on the surface, but in fact, the real suspect is Kate's mother Ellen Rowe.

She is the one who really brings the two families together. This is not a simple role.

Lee Heng asked Kate to stare at Jack Duquesne, but actually asked her to stare at her mother to see who was standing behind his mother.

In the past few days, people have been looking for trouble for Kate. On the surface, it seems that they are targeting Ronin, but in fact, these guys are very measured in their actions.

It was either an ambush trap, an unarmed attack, or a few Molotov cocktails thrown in. There was no real threat at all.

It can also be seen from this aspect that although Ellen Luo has a certain degree of strength, there are still people operating her after this meeting.

At the same time, he is also targeting Ronin and Hawkeye. This is nothing more than a continuation of the grudges from back then.

It's a pity that Hawkeye doesn't want to talk more about what happened back then, otherwise, Li Heng would be able to target him in the blink of an eye.

After Kingpin was arrested and imprisoned, several new forces sprang up in New York's underground underworld. These people almost lost their wits every day. No one knew which one had such a powerful strategy and actually cooperated with a security company. When they are connected, it becomes interesting.
