Chapter 40: A thing of the past

Daredevil was panting with his back against a metal trash can.

He was no longer able to fight. Every breath he took made his internal organs feel a piercing pain, and he almost fainted several times.

But Daredevil was still holding on. An amazing willpower supported him and kept him from falling.

Because he had one last question to ask.

He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes fixed on the killer in front of him, and said in a hoarse but firm voice.

"Why... why did you do this?"

"Why?"

Just now, a text message came from his mobile phone reminding him that the employer had prepared the reward and put it at the designated location.

Tommy, who was in a good mood, was also happy to say a few more words to Daredevil.

"Killing is just my job. People die every day in this world. It's no big deal. Just keep a normal mind.

Besides, the dead person was not a good person. He was a drug dealer with no conscience, a pimp who forced good women into prostitution, and a gang leader who was a disaster to the people.

What I did was to eliminate harm for the people."

These words made Daredevil speechless.

Indeed, Tommy seemed fierce for killing three people in one night, but he did not hurt innocent civilians.

Except for the excessive commotion in the bar, he was quite decent.

Especially compared with his former rival Bullseye, Tommy was a good man.

Moreover, as the defense lawyer in this case, Daredevil certainly knew what kind of people those witnesses were.

Although they now seemed to have turned over a new leaf and testified in court, this could not erase the crimes they had committed in the past.

Daredevil knew this very well, and he was working hard for it.

However, he did not want to solve it with violence, but was going to collect evidence of the three people's crimes and hand them over to the procuratorate, and use the weapon of law to carry out a fair trial.

"Law?"

Hearing the idea described by Daredevil, Tommy smiled.

"So, are you going to persuade me to learn from you, put the criminals in jail with bare hands, and then wait for the freed criminals to come out again one day in the future to do evil and hurt more people?"

Daredevil opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.

But Tommy didn't give him such a chance. He stretched out his arm and lifted the dying Daredevil above his head, and then said.

"I know I'm not a good person, Daredevil, but what you did is another kind of indulgence to criminals?"

He said, raised his right leg, and then suddenly exerted force with both arms, smashing Daredevil's spine hard.

In an instant, the sound of broken bones filled the entire alley.

In the dim moonlight, a rag-like body curled up in the alley.

Daredevil was completely defeated.

Tommy didn't kill Daredevil in the end.

But he left Daredevil with irreparable trauma.

This is not because he is soft-hearted, but he knows the severity of it.

Injuring Daredevil is one thing, but if you really kill him, you will cut off your own retreat and classify yourself as an enemy.

Like the current scale, it has reached just the right level.

Isn't it normal for superheroes to have conflicts with each other?

Captain America and Iron Man have led people to fight in groups, but when the foreign enemies invaded, everyone was happy and the whole family was reunited.

So, as long as people are not dead, there is a chance to save the situation.

Tommy is not worried about letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Let’s not talk about whether Daredevil’s injuries can be recovered. Even if a miracle happens, it’s no big deal.

If Tommy can defeat someone once, there will be a second, third, and fourth time...

Moreover, he will not stand still, his strength will continue to rise, and the gap with Daredevil will become larger and larger, making it difficult for the other party to reach.

He doesn’t even need to do it himself.

There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If Daredevil is determined to make trouble for him, he can use a borrowed knife to kill someone, reveal Daredevil’s true identity, and tell it directly to Wilson Fisk, the famous New York crime boss Kingpin.

I believe that the ruthless guy will be happy to do it for him when he knows that Daredevil is Matt Murdock.

Without Daredevil, Tommy returned to his house smoothly.

In the living room, Jin was still sleeping on the sofa.

The trap he set in the bedroom was not triggered.

"That's good."

Although there was a small episode in the middle, a wild Daredevil came up to disrupt the situation.

But Tommy thought he handled it well, at least he successfully got rid of the suspicion on him.

The only possible flaw is whether there is still surveillance video in the bar.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

However, Tommy had already considered this.

As early as the afternoon when he was scouting the place, he deliberately wandered around the bar and roughly understood the location of the surveillance camera.

Therefore, when he fired the gun just now, he deliberately stood in the blind spot of the surveillance to try not to be discovered.

The dim lights in the bar and the mask on his face also concealed his identity well.

There is one thing Tommy still doesn't know.

In order to attract Daredevil, he deliberately left his pistol behind.

It was also because of this pistol that Daredevil was mistakenly considered the "real murderer" by the FBI.

To be honest, the FBI may not really believe that Daredevil is the murderer.

But sometimes, it doesn't matter who the murderer is, and whether there is a murderer is the most important thing.

With Daredevil as the murderer, everyone can report to the higher-ups.

Then fill in the evidence around this goal.

As long as there is enough "evidence" in the end, the story is reasonable, and it is done well, then even if it is not the truth, it will become the truth in the end.

Moreover, compared with the identity of the killer as an ordinary person, people are more willing to believe that Daredevil did it.

At the same time, the FBI can take this opportunity to propose the theory of the harm of masked vigilantes and ask for more funds from the higher-ups.

As for where the funds will be used after they are obtained?

Well, that's another matter.

The night is getting darker and darker, and the drama has come to an end.

Except for Daredevil and the three unlucky guys, everyone has a satisfactory ending.

...

The time came to the next day.

The Daredevil murder case has been on the front page of the Daily Bugle.

When the police arrived at the scene, the three witnesses were declared dead.

According to the information disclosed by the New York Police Department, they are very sure that Daredevil is the real murderer of this serial murder case.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation.

Many people paid attention to this, but there was no follow-up progress.

As time went by, and Daredevil no longer appeared, this sensational news slowly sank to the bottom of the water and was no longer noticed.

Only those who really care about or hate Daredevil still maintain a concerned attitude and think about an important question.

"Daredevil, where is he?"
