Chapter 175 Justice!

In the Manhattan Police Department in New York, Susan and Reed watched the surveillance video of Johnny, who was emitting flames all over his body, burning the young man named Shell to death, and fell into silence for a while.

"I believe you have seen it." The police chief in charge of this case spread his hands to Susan and Reed.

"In the face of irrefutable evidence, our New York police have no reason to let any criminal go."

"Even if this is your family." The police chief knocked on the table.

"No, how is it possible." Susan's face was full of disbelief: "Johnny's ability to cast fire, wasn't it sealed by Su Heng? Why is it..."

"Susan." Reed held Susan's hand, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort her.

The chief of the Manhattan Police Department hung up the phone, rubbed his head and said helplessly.

But based on Susan and Reed's understanding of Johnny, although Johnny's character is more or less flawed, it is impossible for Johnny to kill people.

"It's obviously that damn guy who killed my son. Can't you just sentence him? There is evidence and everything. Why do you keep delaying!"

The police officers in the police station have been annoyed by Shell's relatives.

"That guy is the suspect who killed Shell."

If Johnny hadn't crashed Shell's car, Shell wouldn't have chased Johnny to ask for the repair fee, Shell wouldn't have died inexplicably, and Johnny wouldn't have been detained in the police station on the charge of killing Shell.

"They are really a family." The sheriff was so angry that he laughed.

Suddenly, seeing the murderer of this case appear in front of everyone, everyone was stunned.

"Can we meet Johnny? I want to know why he made such a mistake."

Shell's relatives were shocked.

"Ma'am, please calm down. I know you are very sad, but this is a normal judicial path."

"Of course." The sheriff nodded: "It just so happens that the boy is still stubborn, saying that we have wronged him. If you can let him confess, Ms. Susan, he may suffer less punishment in the future."

This is completely an unprovoked disaster for both Johnny and the deceased Shell.

A subtle voice came into the ears of Shell's relatives from somewhere.

Shell's relatives also found that something was wrong with the police at this time.

But what Reed and Susan didn't know was that shortly after they left the police station, the Manhattan Police Department received an order from their superiors to release Johnny Stone.

"Ma'am." The lawyer blocked the way of Shell's mother.

"You..." The sheriff looked at the stubborn Reed, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head.

"That's right." The sheriff shrugged as a matter of course: "This is the victim's family."

"I didn't kill anyone!" Johnny heard Reed's question, as if it aroused his rebellious psychology. He staggered to his feet and said loudly to Reed and Susan: "They wronged me!"

"I want that guy to pay for my son's life! My poor little Shel! He didn't do anything, why, why is it like this?"

"Then Johnny's suspicion can at least be cleared of half."

"How can it be compared with the families of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman!"

"So whether it is for the sake of the victim's family or for the sake of the two of you, you should persuade Johnny to plead guilty as soon as possible."

"As for now." Reed looked at Johnny.

"Then I hope you can really find evidence of the little guy's innocence before the trial next week."

But the lawyer behind him gently pushed his body.

"..."Reed and Susan were speechless.

"Let's go."

"The police already have a video of you turning into fire and burning people to ashes."

"Then, then I lost consciousness."

"You can only stay here for now. Your sister and I will find evidence to clear your suspicion as soon as possible."

"Wait, I will contact S.H.I.E.L.D. and Mr. Su Heng from the dessert shop, as long as they can confirm that Johnny has not been able to use his abilities since Mr. Su Heng sealed them."

But when the sheriff wanted to take Reed out of the police station, a clamor sounded from inside the police station.

"Then I don't know." The lawyer spread his hands and said with a smile: "I was just following orders."

"Unless we can figure out what happened that day and why Johnny lost consciousness."

"It can't be in front of them, right?"

"Do you know what you are talking about, Mr. Reed?" Hearing Reed say this, the sheriff's eyes began to become a little sharp.

"These are the families of Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman, two superheroes who have become famous in New York recently!"

"Just get in the car, leave this to me."

"No, Sheriff." Reed looked at the woman squatting on the ground and sobbing, and shook his head slowly: "That's why we should find evidence to prove Johnny's innocence and find the real murderer!"

"Sister!" Johnny, squatting in the corner of the detention room, looked at Susan and Reed who walked in from the door. He raised his head miserably and asked Susan timidly: "Are you here to take me out?"

"Wait!" Johnny stumbled and fell into the commercial vehicle. Before he could sit up, the door closed and Johnny, who had finally sat up, felt as if his neck was pricked by a needle.

"I didn't have time to figure out what happened, and then the police broke into the dormitory and took me to the police station."

"You'd better pretend that you didn't have this son, and you'd better not delve into this matter."

"So what!" the lawyer said sternly.

"You just lost a son who is useless to society."

Reed and Susan had no choice but to go to SHIELD for help.

"Tsk." The lawyer looked at Johnny who stopped, and his expression seemed a little impatient.

"What else?" The lawyer took out a towel lightly, wiped the dust off his hands, and said casually: "For capable people, we naturally have to make special arrangements."

"Of course." Reed shook hands with the sheriff.

"." Everyone fell into silence.

"Reed, this matter is really too strange. We have overlooked a key point, that is, why Johnny killed people."

Those were the relatives of the deceased Shell. After they came to the police station, they began to clamor for the police to quickly bring the criminal who killed Shell to justice.

"Instead of continuing to quibble, it is better to confess as soon as possible. Maybe it can reduce your crime."

"Mr. Sheriff." Susan suppressed her inner sadness and raised her head to ask the expressionless sheriff.

"Whatever you want."

"Hello." The chief of the Manhattan Police Department took the phone on the table. After listening to the instructions of the person on the other end of the phone, he glanced at the sheriff.

"As for your son, sneer." The lawyer sneered at Shell's mother.

"If you really don't believe me, you can ask the gentleman in the dessert shop to check whether my fire ability has been used since he sealed it."

"Who are you?" Johnny looked at the man in confusion.

"So this is why their family can kill people at will?" Shell's mother collapsed on the ground, screaming in despair.

But Susan shook her head at Reed.

"Hello, Mr. Johnny." The man walked quickly to Johnny, held his hand and waved it vigorously.

"Otherwise, I believe you definitely don't want to know what the consequences of angering two superheroes will be."

The sheriff leaned on the back of the seat, looking at the scene in front of him, but his heart was not the slightest bit fluctuating.

Bang!

After all, he had seen this kind of occasion many times.

"Johnny, did you really not kill anyone?" Susan looked at Johnny's pleading look, and for some reason, she believed what he said.

"You are right."

Yes, if it was Johnny, there should be no motive for committing the crime.

"Did Reed find evidence so quickly to prove that I didn't do this?"

"Do you know who was in the car?"

"Lost consciousness" Reed frowned.

"Now I think Johnny might have been wronged."

Reed shook his head.

Johnny nodded repeatedly and whispered to Reed and Susan: "That day, Shell asked me to go to the factory over there, and wanted me to pay him back the repair fee that had been delayed for several days."

"Susan." Reed couldn't help but look at Susan.

"Then, please follow me." The sheriff stood up and took Susan and Reed to the detention room where Johnny was temporarily detained.

"But I really didn't kill anyone." Johnny hurriedly walked in front of Susan. He looked at Susan's sad face and quickly stretched out his hand: "Since my ability was sealed by the gentleman in the dessert shop, I have no way to use fire at all. How could I burn Shell to death with fire?"

"Release Johnny Stone? Chief, are you serious?" The sheriff who came to the chief's office asked the chief of the Manhattan Police Department with an unbelievable look on his face.

"The car is waiting for you outside." The lawyer made a gesture of invitation to Johnny.

He pushed Johnny heavily into the business car.

"Shel was then." Johnny licked his lips.

"Cough." The sheriff on the side coughed lightly and shook his head at the crowd.

"How long will it be?" The sheriff pointed to the crowd outside the chief's office, which had started another round of noise.

Ring, ring, ring--

Reed looked at the woman in luxurious clothes not far away, who went from hysteria to squatting on the ground and sobbing constantly. As if he had guessed something, he turned his head and looked at the sheriff beside him.

Susan asked Reed.

"Murderer!" Shel's mother gritted her teeth and said.

"You'd better not do anything stupid." The lawyer said to Shel's mother righteously.

"When I woke up again, it was already the next day in the school dormitory."

"After all, there is ironclad evidence in this case, and there is nothing to try. I don't think you can find any evidence to make that little guy innocent."

"Yeah." Johnny looked at Reed gratefully.

"Well, is that kid willing to confess?"

"That guy"

"What should we do now?" Shell's other relatives looked at each other and looked at Shell's mother who still hadn't stood up.

"Yes, I understand."

Then Johnny lost consciousness.

Johnny nodded blankly, followed the lawyer in confusion, and walked out of the police station in full view of the public.

"Don't ask so many questions, this is what the higher-ups said." The expression on the face of the chief of the Manhattan Police Department also seemed a little unhappy: "Someone will come to the police station to take that guy away later."

"No, no, no." The lawyer shook his head, looked at Sher's mother with a resolute expression, pushed her to the ground, and said to Sher's mother in a condescending manner.

"But." Johnny still stopped and wanted to explain to Sher's mother that he was not the murderer who killed Sher.

In the surprised sight of the sheriff, Reed said slowly.

"But please rest assured, as Johnny said before, if he can't use his own flames now, then he has no motive to commit the crime at all."

"Leave the police station!" Johnny's eyes widened at once.

"!"

As the commercial vehicle slowly drove away, only a sad mother, a group of indignant policemen and Shell's relatives were left at the door of the police station.

In the detention room, Johnny listened to the faint scolding coming from the police station, and hugged his head with a depressed look.

"The current situation is too unfavorable for Johnny."

When Reed and Susan walked out of the detention room, the sheriff who had brought them in earlier came over and asked the two:

They set their sights on Johnny and the lawyer who were about to walk out of the police station.

"I am the lawyer hired by your brother-in-law Mr. Reed, and I am here to take you out of the police station."

"But he is also the murderer of my son!" Shell's mother wanted to stand up from the ground, but was kicked down by the lawyer again.

"Stop!" Shell's mother shouted at Johnny loudly, while chasing after them with heavy steps.

"Shell said that if he could punch me a few times to vent his anger, he would give me a few more days."

He refused to listen to the kind words and insisted on waiting until the court officially pronounced the verdict before giving up.

The sheriff has seen many such people!

After Reed decided to find a way to help Johnny find evidence to prove his innocence, he and Susan left the police station and went to the dessert shop to seek Su Heng's help.

"Of course I know." Reed nodded lightly: "Please give us some time, we will find evidence to prove Johnny's innocence."

Reed sighed softly and asked Johnny: "Johnny, why did you kill people."

"You murderer."

Outside the business car, the lawyer who closed the door casually dusted off the non-existent dust on his body and looked at Shell's mother who was chasing after him.

"Neither the police station nor the subsequent judges can believe Johnny because of his one-sided words."

But at this moment, the door of the detention room opened again.

After that, the lawyer ignored Sher's mother who was sitting on the ground with a lost look, and sat on the passenger seat of the business car.

Reed looked at Susan's lost eyes and hurried to comfort her.

"Do you know how many innocent New York citizens Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman have saved during this period?"

"I didn't have enough money at that time, so I could only hope that Sher would give me a few more days."

But at this time, Su Heng was still in Canada with Tony and others to enjoy the snow, so Reed and Susan who went to the dessert shop naturally came to nothing.

Even if it was because he had a conflict with the young man named Sher, even if his ability suddenly recovered.

Susan looked at Johnny's haggard appearance, shook her head with some reluctance, and the hand holding Reed began to tremble constantly.

"Are you police a bunch of trash?!"

Johnny, who had already walked out of the police station and came to a business car, couldn't help but want to stop when he heard the hysterical voice coming from behind him.

Reed was stunned, and then he reacted.

"Stop it, Johnny!" Reed frowned as he looked at Johnny's excitement.

A man in a suit and tie with a smile on his face walked into the detention room.

Reed shook his head and continued to say to the sheriff: "No, Mr. Sheriff."

"Johnny, can you tell us what happened that day?" Reed said to Johnny: "What happened that day?"

"Reed, what can we do?"

"Sue!" Shell's mother stood up from the ground trembling, and shouted in a low voice with grief and anger in her eyes.

"Even if I offended two superheroes, so what! I don't believe that there is really no justice in the United States!"
