Chapter 36 Gunfire
After inspecting the scene, Matt flew downstairs and walked to the public telephone booth on the roadside to inform the police of what happened here.
After the call, Matt did not stay for long. Instead, he left the place before the police arrived, aiming at a dark and deep alley nearby and rushed in.
In a few days, the court will be in session.
At this critical moment, an important witness was assassinated.
Such things can't help but make Matt think more.
Moreover, in the phone call just now, Matt heard the background sound of the police station, saying that a shooting incident also occurred on a nearby street.
After hearing this clearly, Matt's face became gloomy.
If his memory is correct, the place mentioned in the phone call just now is the location of another witness!
Two shooting cases occurred in one night, and the victims were all witnesses who were about to appear in court to defend.
Matt immediately made a judgment that this was a murder hired by a criminal group.
Thinking of this, he quickly put away his crutches, took off his slightly cumbersome coat, revealing the bright red uniform underneath.
What was going to happen next was no longer something that lawyer Matt Murdoch could handle.
Now, it was the turn of the fearless man to appear!
…
After a while.
The sound of a police car whizzed in.
The forensic department investigated the scene, and the other police officers set up a cordon to prevent outsiders from breaking in.
"One shot to the head, right in the middle of the eyebrows, what a beautiful shooting!"
The forensic doctor examined the body and was amazed at the assailant's technique.
This was originally just his subconscious and unintentional words, but he didn't expect that after the sound was spread, it immediately attracted the attention of a police officer at the scene.
"Why, why do I always feel so familiar?"
Jill Valentine quickly came to the body and squatted down to examine it carefully.
Lincoln, who was full of imagination on the ground, inexplicably gave her a familiar feeling.
In order to combat the domestic mafia forces, the Italian police and the American police reached a cooperation and launched a joint law enforcement operation.
Both sides sent police to patrol and enforce the law on the other side's territory.
This is why Jill Valentine came to New York.
Before coming, Jill was very excited, thinking that her efforts were rewarded and she was favored by her superiors, which brought her this precious exchange opportunity.
She was ready to make a big effort in America to live up to her superiors' expectations.
But after arriving in New York, Jill found that things were completely different from what she imagined.
Joint law enforcement sounds good, but in fact it is thunder and rain.
The slogans were loud, but when it came to the execution stage, they became greatly discounted.
From beginning to end, only some small thieves who were not in the mainstream were caught.
As for the heads of those big families, they didn't even see a hair.
This gave Jill, who had been doing nothing, an illusion in her heart.
Was she here to work or to travel here this time?
Jill couldn't tell.
But tonight was different. She finally encountered a real case and finally had the opportunity to show her skills.
According to the on-site forensic investigation report, only one shell was found at the scene.
In other words, the assailant only fired one shot to kill his target.
This shows how confident he is in his shooting skills!
Jill listened to this, and memories suddenly emerged in her mind.
Three years ago, it was also at night.
When she participated in the first arrest operation, she encountered a terrible gunman who eliminated more than 20 ambushed people by himself.
And the gunman's shooting method was almost exactly the same as what she encountered today.
One bullet took a life, and it just hit the center of the eyebrows.
It would be fine if only one or two features were similar, but with so many coincidences, things might not be that simple.
However, Jill could not really confirm that the killer who committed the crime today was the one she remembered.
After all, according to Italian laws and regulations, Tommy Vercetti should be on parole now, restricted to Italy, and it is impossible for him to come to New York.
However, just in case, she still called her most trusted and former boss to ask about Tommy.
"What the hell!"
In distant Italy, Hank slowly lifted the quilt, cursing and feeling very bad.
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
As he got older, his sleep quality was also poor.
He finally fell asleep, but before he had waited for a long time, he was suddenly awakened by a phone call.
No one could stand this kind of situation.
No wonder Hank's face was so long now, full of unhappiness.
However, after he answered the phone and listened to all of Jill's requests, his expression changed again, slowly becoming solemn.
Jill asked him to help investigate Tommy Vercetti.
The most important thing was to find out whether Tommy was staying in Italy or somewhere else?
Hank did not intend to agree to Jill's requests.
He has been retired for three years and has long stopped caring about the mess in the police station.
Now, he just wants to spend his retirement peacefully with his pension.
Therefore, Hank refused at the first opportunity.
But considering their past friendship and Jill's repeated requests, Hank finally agreed with no choice.
However, he also said directly that it would take some time.
There is a six or seven hour time difference between New York and Italy.
It was evening in New York, but it was still dark in Italy, not to mention going to work.
Jill understood this and thanked Hank profusely on the phone.
However, Jill would never have thought that she had just hung up the phone.
Hank on the other end of the phone called someone else.
"Hello, attorney Ken Luxemburg, there is something you might want to know..."
That's right, what Hank is doing now is to tip Ken off and explain all the content of the previous phone call with Jill.
Ken on the other end of the phone told him to relax. The family dared to send Tommy abroad during the parole period, so they were naturally fully prepared, and even found a substitute, so they were not afraid of others coming to investigate.
Moreover, in a few days, this substitute will die in a car accident, creating the illusion of Tommy's death, so as to deceive the Italian judicial authorities and let Tommy have complete freedom.
In capitalist countries, as long as there is enough money, nothing is impossible.
Under the promotion of capitalists, people in their seventies and eighties can still become presidents and lead hundreds of millions of American people.
What does it count as just forging a new identity?
