Chapter 24 Just in case

arrive home.

"You're saying you saw Catherine, but Catherine might be dead?"

After listening to the descriptions of his wife and two sons, the green skeleton, deformation, corpses, money... Jonathan was confused for a moment.

"The people who received us in the antique store must be the same people who robbed the bank."

Combined with what Clark said before, David felt that it was obvious.

"First Luther, then Katherine. She has the ability to shapeshift and become other people."

"Who could that be?"

Martha was extremely uneasy and rubbed her arms. This is so scary. The other person can turn into a familiar person and approach you quietly.

Just now she didn't realize that the other person was not the person she knew.

Clark frowned and thought hard. First of all, he was sure that the human skeleton was female, and secondly...

It seems that there are no other clues for the time being.

"It's Tina."

After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, David suddenly spoke.

The three people in the family looked at him with doubts.

Clark asked, "Why Tina?"

"She has that kind of ability. It's not good to become anyone. She can get away with killing people. Why should she turn into Aunt Catherine? The police can't find her.

Unless-Catherine is dead, the police will definitely find her. "

After analysis and speculation, he thought it was Catherine's daughter and smiled.

There is only Catherine's daughter Tina. No matter who kills Catherine, the police will come to question the situation because she is the only relative of the deceased.

"Tina robbed the money and killed her mother. She did this because she felt guilty."

"Catherine!"

Martha grieves the loss of someone she once knew.

"Don't be too sure, son."

Jonathan held his wife's cold hand to comfort her and frowned.

"A daughter kills her mother, this..."

A murder that violates human ethics is too shocking!

David raised his eyebrows at his father's instinctive reluctance to believe such a tragedy, but said nothing.

"I saw her frame was different."

Clark thought about his memory carefully, and finally remembered another clue that he didn't know if it could be counted as a clue.

"It emits a weird green light, and the skeleton lines are a bit strange."

Unlike the smooth and natural lines of ordinary people's ribs, that person's ribs were of different thicknesses.

"Catherine was already quite old when she became pregnant with Tina, who was born with rickets."

Martha seemed to remember something terrible, her face turned slightly pale.

"She and her husband sought medical treatment everywhere. The doctors thought she would not live past the first grade of elementary school. They spent money to find ways to give her many experimental drugs in the development stage, but it was of no use."

Jonathan frowned and answered in a dull voice: "Later, they had no choice but to take Tina back to the town. Somehow a miracle happened and Tina gradually got better."

He now somewhat believes his son's reasoning that the murderer is Tina.

"Desperate people sometimes seek medical treatment in a hurry."

David touched his chin and looked at Clark.

"I heard that when the meteorites first came, some magicians came to the town, claiming that the meteorites were a gift from God and that drinking them in water could cure all kinds of diseases..."

There is no need to say the rest.

It is conceivable that Catherine and her husband, who had no way out, would definitely try without giving up. After discovering that their daughter had made an astonishing improvement, they were excited and thanked God.

But Catherine probably never thought that she would die because of her daughter.

"David's right, that person could be Tina."

Clark's eyes widened.

After his brother's analysis and the information provided by his parents, all the clues were connected.

No wonder that person's skeleton glows like a meteorite, because she has been drinking water soaked in meteorites since she was a child!

"Since you have seen the body, call the police first."

Jonathan thought for a while, not letting the murderer have a chance to escape, and picked up the phone to call the police.

To briefly describe the situation, I found money that might have been robbed from a bank in Catherine's antique store, and I also smelled a corpse stench.

The police were immediately dispatched and rushed to the antique store.

"Okay, kids, the police are here."

Being caught red-handed, Tina couldn't escape even though she would transform into someone else.

David frowned.

This is not safe.

The couple didn't know that in addition to having the ability to transform, Tina's body was so strong that she could withstand bullets, which might be difficult for ordinary police to deal with.

"I'm going to take the afternoon off from school."

David said suddenly.

Kryptonite is undoubtedly responsible for the abilities some people in the town gain.

"Then if you stay with Kryptonite more, suffer more Kryptonite radiation, or even eat Kryptonite, will it make you stronger?"

His eyes flashed, wondering if this was what Tina had been drinking from meteorites since she was a child.

"I also want to take leave."

Clark followed closely without letting down his guard, his eyes were serious, he wanted to protect his parents from any harm.

David glanced at Clark.

If it were somewhere else, a person with abilities that appeared in a random town, and he could not easily protect his parents from any harm when facing the opponent with Thanos' physique, he would find it ridiculous.

"But Superman sometimes encounters enemies that even he would find troublesome or even dangerous."

Not afraid of 10,000, but just in case, it is best for him and Clark to stay and protect the couple together.

Even if it turns out to be a false alarm, it's better than something happening that he absolutely doesn't want to see and will regret for the rest of his life.

"Why?"

The two sons reacted a bit too much, and the couple was confused.

"Are you afraid that Tina will attack us?"

Boom!

Just as the two were about to explain, there was a knock on the door.

Looking through the glass door of the outer door, Lex Luthor stood outside the door in the dim sunlight, with a polite smile on his face and a friendly voice: "Can I come in?"

Jonathan and Martha suddenly became nervous and stood up from their stools. David and Clark took a step forward and stood in front of their parents.

David gave Clark a secret look.

Clark tried to turn on the perspective again to observe Lex's skeleton outside the door.

But because I was a little nervous, I didn't open it for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

Lex Luthor opened the outer door and joked: "It's me, not my evil twin, and I don't have a gun in my hand."

He raised his hands and showed them to the family.

"Clark, David, Mr. Kent... you all know that I am innocent."

"Hurry up."

Clark concentrated his mind and tried hard to control it, and finally the scene in his eyes once again looked like it had been X-rayed. He glanced at Luther's whole body, breathed a sigh of relief, and opened his mouth to hint to his brother and parents, smiling.

"Lex, what are you doing here?"

The skeleton is normal, it's the real Lex Luthor.

Jonathan and Martha were also relieved.

David secretly relaxed his tense body.

If faced alone, even if there were ten ability users, he wouldn't be so nervous, but his parents are right behind him.

“I’ve come to thank Mr. and Mrs. Kent.

Without your testimony, I still cannot be cleared of suspicion. "

Luther smiled at the strange reaction of the Kent family, with suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Come in, Mr. Luther." Martha greeted.

"I watched the CCTV video and I don't know how that person did it. He looks almost exactly like me. If it weren't for the different handwriting of the signature, I might be a pauper now."

Luther expressed his sincere surprise and confusion.

"It was a weird feeling watching someone rob a bank in a panic with my face in my face in broad daylight."

He originally wanted to take the opportunity of gratitude to visit and become familiar with the Clark family.

But after arriving, Luther suddenly felt that the atmosphere in this house was a bit dull and weird. It seemed that it was not a good time to visit, and there was another problem with the plan.

This time he did not show his acumen and cleverness and offered to help if there was any trouble.

“If a person has a bad feeling towards someone, the smarter he acts, the more he will be wary of and resisted.”

After chatting for a few words, he sincerely expressed his gratitude, his eyes flashed, and he said goodbye and left.

Buzz!

After leaving the farm, Luther got into the silver-gray convertible sports car, glanced at the Kent family in the house, frowned and drove away.

…

I told my parents that Tina might be a powerful person with super powers.

Jonathan thought for a while and took leave for his two sons. The reason for taking leave was the high incidence of influenza in the spring.

He did not send David to school for fear that he would be attacked alone.

"David, just stay at home with us. Clark will protect us. I will ask acquaintances later to see the police results. Maybe the police can catch Tina."

The update is a bit late, I wrote 600 more words
