Chapter 1171: A Strange Mistake (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!! Please Subscribe! Please Recommend!!!)

Children always follow their feelings. Peter never believed that Mr. Tums was a bad guy. After all, he was so good to Liz, how could he be a bad guy?

"What do you think a bad guy is? There's a word engraved on his forehead?" Kai once again imparted his experience: "The world is very complicated, kid. It's not that a person who looks friendly is necessarily a good person. You have a lot to learn. Do you know why I don't like you jumping around in the sky? It's not that I think you are not capable enough, but you are still too young and don't understand the complexity of this society at all."

Peter lowered his head silently. Just like Kai said, what can he do to guarantee that Adrian must be a good person? Just because he has seen Adrian twice? Even he himself knows that this thing is unreliable, but when he thinks of Liz, he is unwilling to believe that Adrian is really a bad guy.

A bad guy has such a beautiful daughter... I always feel that it doesn't fit his worldview.

If Kai knew, he would definitely laugh to death. What is a bad guy? A bad guy must have a hideous face and a terrible appearance?

"Mr. Wayne... Can I go see Liz?" Peter finally tried.

He really couldn't let this girl go. After all, she was happily planning to travel with her family yesterday. Now...

"What do you want to do?" Kai looked at Peter in surprise. Is the butterfly effect so strong? Is the innocent Spider-Man going to develop into a philandering scumbag?

As he said that, Kai looked at Stacy carefully.

Unexpectedly, although Stacy looked unhappy, she didn't stop him. In fact, this girl had no right to stop Peter. After all... Strictly speaking, Peter was not his boyfriend. Her boyfriend died a long time ago.

Ding ding ding!

The phone rang.

Peter looked around to see who was calling.

But he immediately found that everyone's eyes were on him.

"Sorry! Sorry!"

He forgot that he also had a mobile phone.

Originally, Peter didn't have a mobile phone. Smart phones are not cheap in the United States. He never asked his uncle and aunt to buy him such things. Computers are an exception. Computers are absolutely necessary!

But after knowing that Peter is Spider-Man, Ben and May decided to buy Peter a mobile phone, an Apple one. On the one hand, it was a reward, and on the other hand, they wanted to know Peter's situation at any time.

Peter quickly ran to the side and answered the phone.

It was Gwen's.

Gwen did not like Liz, but her character was not able to gloat over Liz's family's misfortune, and she was even very concerned about Liz's current situation. She thought of Peter as Spider-Man, so she called Peter as soon as possible.

She forgot that her father was a policeman, and the police chief...

After answering the phone, Peter walked over with a relaxed look.

"Gwen is also very concerned about Liz's condition, and she also asked me to help her."

Kai was stunned, Gwen... so generous.

Good girl!

...

As the deputy director of the General Bureau, Kai does not actually need to be responsible for specific cases. His real job should be to sit in the office and listen to reports, and then when the police below fail to handle the case, he will hold the phone and curse. However, due to Kai's special nature, he does not actually have a specific job in the police station. In short, he is nominally the head of the special department, but in fact he is a free man of the New York police. He can intervene in the cases he thinks it is necessary to intervene.

So when Kai expressed his interest in Adrian's case, the General Administration immediately let him take charge of this case without any hesitation.

In fact, Kai already had an alien weapons trafficking case in his hands. Logically, he should not take over other cases.

But this matter is not important at all. Kai had dealt with the lizard man before.

When Kai brought Peter to the police station, the special case team responsible for this case was already waiting for Kai.

"I want to talk to Mrs. Toombs."

Kai didn't believe that Adrian's bedmate would not know anything about what she did.

The special case team immediately arranged a relevant meeting.

As for the superiors letting Kai take over the case, the special case team was actually quite complicated. The police didn't like their cases being taken over by others the most, because this was a lack of trust in their abilities by the superiors. In the police industry, it was a very severe accusation. They had just started the investigation, and the superiors were so impatient to airdrop the leader, which was a bit too disrespectful to them. But then again, Kai is the pride of the New York police, not only because he is a superhero, but also because he is a very good policeman himself, who has solved many major cases. With such a great man taking over, they not only do not need to be responsible, but can also learn something by the way, which is also a good thing.

But no matter how complicated it is, what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Although Mrs. Toombs looked haggard, her expression was very calm.

She was with her lawyer.

"She definitely knows something." Chief Green, who was in charge of the case, reminded.

Peter, the curious baby, asked immediately.

"Why? Isn't this normal? Everyone has the right to find a lawyer."

Green is an old white man with a full face of stubble.

He pointed at Peter and asked, "Does our police station still recruit child labor now?"

Peter's face is very young, even more young than that of high school students of the same year.

"He is my assistant, who just graduated. He looks very young, he is already 22 years old, and can drink. Although he needs to bring a driver's license every time he drinks." Kai made up an identity casually. Anyway, no one went back to check, and it would be useless even if they checked.

Green blinked and patted Peter's shoulder gently.

"Look, kid, get another job. You're not cut out for this job."

Peter heard what Kai said and was excited to cooperate with Kai and act more mature.

But after hearing Green's words, the secret was revealed immediately.

"Why? I love being a police officer!"

"Ahem, kid, I'm very happy that you like to be a police officer. Although there is no appearance requirement for police recruitment... But you must at least give the people a sense of security and be able to suppress the arrogance of those criminals. No one will think that a Children can protect them, and no criminal will be afraid of a child.”

This is already very euphemistic.

"Why not? Spider-Man is very young!" Until now, he is trying to save Spider-Man's respect. After all, many police officers don't actually like Spider-Man.

"Aren't you grown up yet? Who would like that little bug? That kid has nothing but trouble for us. By the way, Director Wayne, can't you tell that kid to stop wearing those ridiculous pajamas? It’s all over the place and we now receive hundreds of complaints every month because of him!”

Kai glanced sideways at Peter: "I'm telling you, I don't know that Spider-Man. If you say that again, I'll sue you for defamation."

Green smiled and showed an I-know expression.

Strictly speaking, except for Kai, Tony and Steve, other superheroes basically belong to the ranks of criminals, and they have no law enforcement power. So Kai never admitted in public that he knew any superheroes.

Although everyone knew he was lying... there was nothing they could do.

There are no other superhero calls on his phone.

At this time, Peter thought about his previous question again: "Why do you say there is something wrong with Mrs. Toombs?"

Green smiled: "Son, how can your husband die and your wife bring a lawyer with her to the police station to assist in the investigation?"

Kai nodded and prepared to go in.

Peter planned to follow.

As a result, he was stopped by Kai.

"Rookies are not qualified to participate in interrogations."

Green said with a smile: "Boy, there is still more to learn!"

After saying that, he followed Kai and walked in.

Peter was left in the observation control room, observing the situation inside through the one-way glass.

"Hello, Mrs. Toombs." Kay walked in wearing a suit.

The moment Mrs. Toombs saw Kai, her expression changed drastically. It was obvious that she knew Kai and what he represented.

Kai noticed the panic in her eyes.

This is not the expression that a victim's family should show when they see him.

So Kai immediately changed his previous strategy and dropped the shorthand notebook on the table.

"Let's keep it simple, Mrs. Toombs. When you see me coming...you should know what I want to ask."

He knew he was just cheating on her.

Green was an experienced police officer and was not at all panicked by Kay's sudden change in interrogation strategy. Instead, he cooperated with a straight face and stared at Mrs. Toombs with sharp eyes.

They couldn't actually call for an interrogation, but asked Mrs. Toomes to assist in the investigation.

But Kai suddenly changed his strategy. Apparently there was a reason, and Green immediately cooperated.

The lawyer immediately protested: "My client is here to assist in the investigation! You can't..."

Kai looked at the lawyer: "You should know me, right?"

"So what, you have no power..."

"Me showing up would explain a lot, man. Just cooperating with the investigation right now, but if I wanted to, I could get a warrant out of any prosecutor in this city. You know very well I can do that. So, we Why not talk about it in a less tense environment? After all, a lot of it doesn't involve her."

Kai was still talking nonsense, but the part about the arrest warrant was true. He didn't even need to provide any evidence to get a signed arrest warrant from any prosecutor. This is the benefit of reputation. Everyone knows that Kai only cares about big things and has a 100% success rate. He has no record of enemies making mistakes. There is no risk in opening a back door for him.

The lawyer pursed his lips, then he leaned into Mrs. Toombs' ear and began to whisper.

A lawyer's duty is to fight for the best interests of his client. Whether it is justice or not is not important. It doesn’t even matter whether the client broke the law.

He will only come up with the best solution.

Mrs. Toombs had a tangled expression, but when she saw Kai appear, her psychological defense was indeed broken.

Because just two days ago, she knew that Kai was the one in charge of the alien weapons!

She could never imagine that Kai had any other reason to take over this case besides this incident.

After all, the facts are there, her husband is not a big shot, and it is impossible to be involved in other big things except alien weapons.

Who would have thought that Peter's good intentions would cause such a big misunderstanding?

Kai just instinctively felt that there was something wrong with her and was just trying to deceive her.

In the end, Mrs. Toombs chose to believe the lawyer.

"My husband...has been reselling alien arms!"

Green almost broke the defense!

I am Cao!

God unfolds!

How did you end up in this carnage?

Then he looked at Kai with admiration and said, why did Kai suddenly drop into their special team? It was completely unnecessary. It turns out it’s because of this!

Kai almost broke through the defense, he really didn't expect it. He's just...what a coincidence, right?

Thanks to Kai's excellent expression management ability, he managed to suppress his surprise and pretended to be calm and said, "Look, isn't this good? Everyone is more relaxed. Also, I hope to know more."

"My client is willing to tell everything he knows, but at the same time..." The lawyer hopes that Mrs. Toombs can use Adrian's crime to avoid all subsequent prosecutions, which is a plea bargain.

"I know what you want, but I won't agree to this request, Mrs. Toombs. So far, I have never reached any deal with anyone. The only basis for whether you are prosecuted is whether you are involved in Adrian's crime. Apart from that, I will not make any promises."

Kai knows what the lawyer wants to know. But he has never liked this kind of thing.

"Director Wayne, you should know that any plea bargain needs to be decided by the prosecutor. You are just a policeman!"

Plea bargains only occur between suspects and prosecutors, and the police are only responsible for investigating the case.

"Yes, but if I insist, no one will sign the agreement." This is a typical personal power that affects the rules and systems, which is the most annoying behavior in the judicial community. But Kai said it out loud.

Because it's the same old saying, no matter how perfect the system is, it still needs people to enforce it. This kind of thing can never be stopped.

After all, whether to execute the transaction is also up to the prosecutor himself. The law does not stipulate that a transaction must be reached.

The lawyer was just about to argue, but Mrs. Toombs stopped him.

"I only found out that Adrian was doing this in the past two days."

Kai didn't believe it.

"Before, I always guessed that he was doing some illegal business, but I didn't know he was doing munitions. I don't want to be prosecuted, but I don't want to affect my daughter. She is still young. She always thinks her father is a good man. Ed's accident has hit her hard. I don't want her to think her mother has become a bad person in the end. You can check all these. I have not participated in any criminal activities. I just hope not to be disturbed."

Kai nodded: "I will check. If what you said is true, I will say hello to the district attorney."

If what she said is true, it is not impossible to help her. After all, the criminal is wrong, it does not mean that the criminal's family is also wrong.

At this time, Green finally came to his senses.

"So, you know who killed your husband?"

Mrs. Toombs shook her head: "I don't know who it is. It's just that my husband has been very anxious in recent days. He has been calling several of his friends, but they are all missing. Ed thinks someone is targeting them. He is afraid that something will happen to us, so he plans to send us abroad, but we were kidnapped."

"Then your husband told you about those alien weapons..."

Mrs. Toombs still shook her head: "He doesn't want to get involved in these. So he didn't tell me anything. He hopes that I can take care of my daughter and grow up safely. I also grew up in Clinton District and know the rules. The more you know, the more dangerous it is."

"No information? You and your husband have been married for so long, you will always find some clues."

Green obviously didn't intend to give up.

Mrs. Toombs hesitated for a moment, and still shook her head. It's not that she didn't want to say it, but she really didn't know.

Green wanted to ask again.

Kai stopped her.

"This is not important anymore." Kai said: "I guess the other party should have achieved their goal."

The traces of torture on Adrian's body can explain everything.
