American Comics: When the Police Comes to Knock on the Door

Dean Balthazar, the Marduk Hidden One who once attacked Richard's group. After Angela's death, Balthazar, like Constantine, disappeared from sight. Today, Richard saw Balthazar again, but now Balthazar was a dead man.

"Who is Dean Balthazar?" Todd asked confused.

"The leader of a pyramid scheme."

"That means there are economic crimes involved. Do you need to notify the FBI?"

"Uh, not yet. Things are a little complicated here."

Todd looked at Richard in confusion, he could feel that Richard was hiding something.

Richard ignored Todd's thoughts. He noticed that the bullet hole on Balthazar's forehead was a little different from that of the previous deceased Michael. Although both have 9 bullet holes, Balthazar's bullet holes look more normal, while Michael's bullet holes are unusually smooth.

Strange, if the two cases were committed by one person, then why are the bullet holes of the two victims different? Is there any difference between the bullets or the two victims?

Although the two cases are almost the same in terms of criminal methods, due to some differences in bullet holes and Balthazar's special identity, Richard needs to wait for the forensic report to confirm whether the two cases are related.

Richard and Todd then checked the surveillance videos at the scene and surrounding areas in detail, but found nothing meaningful.

Richard and Todd returned to the police station, doing their daily jobs while waiting for the medical examiner's autopsy report. Normally, because the case may involve serial killings, the forensic work should be faster.

But when it was time to get off work, not only did Richard and Todd not receive the results of the autopsy report, they also received a notice: Richard continued to investigate the case, and Todd was transferred from the case.

Richard could probably guess why, but looking at Todd with an angry face, Richard really didn't know what to say.

Richard thought that the next investigation would be completed by him alone. He did not know that he would face a worse arrangement.

Richard heads to the police station parking lot, where he meets a woman he had a brief encounter with, Sharon Carter.

Sharon was leaning against Richard's car, holding a manila file bag.

Richard walked straight over. He secretly took out the car key and pressed the remote control hanging on the key. The car made two beeps.

"Officer Richard, you are so boring."

Richard took out his detective badge, waved it, and then said: "Detective, look, it's a detective now."

Sharon ignored Richard. She opened the passenger door with her backhand and got into the car.

Richard frowned, opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. He turned around and was about to mock Sharon when Sharon threw the document bag in Richard's face.

Is this girl sick?

Richard picked up the portfolio and wanted to put it away, but Sharon's words stopped him.

"This is the autopsy report on Balthazar."

Richard glared at Sharon, and Sharon stared at Richard.

"Agent Carter, I haven't provoked you, have I?"

"No, but I can tell you didn't mean to say anything nice."

Richard's lips trembled a few times, and finally he swallowed the curse words that came to his lips. He opened the file bag and looked at the autopsy report on Balthazar.

He was shot in the forehead and killed with one shot, it was an obvious problem. But now that Todd has been transferred, there must be something extraordinary here.

Richard continued to read.

Silver-plated bullets can kill Michael. The issue of silver plating has not been mentioned. Could it be that the bullets that killed Michael and the bullets that killed Balthazar are not the same kind? Does that mean that Balthazar's death is related to Michael's? 's death has no connection

Richard looked up at Sharon and asked about his doubts.

Sharon smiled after hearing Richard's question.

Richard now truly felt that the girl in front of him was sick. This was not how a sane person should behave.
