After the Ares statue disappeared, not only the Templar Church and Kingsman were anxious, but some European organizations that knew the truth were also secretly searching for the whereabouts of the statue. However, after so many years, they still found nothing. No matter how powerful Diana and Katherine are, they are not gods. There is nothing they can do about something that so many people have not found.
Now their only clue is that the Art Institute of Chicago once made a perfect one-to-one replica of the statue of Ares, the god of war, but the problem is that this clue has also been cut off. For a while, they couldn't find any clues.
So fortunately, that was it for now. Anyway, Ares was sealed, and it was also the seal of the two main gods of Olympus. It would be extremely difficult to break it. The statue has been missing for decades, and nothing has happened yet, which is the best explanation. In this case, why are you anxious?
"So, you agree that we can continue to be superheroes?!" Kelly's focus was rather strange. She didn't care about what Kai said at all. She only knew that Kai didn't object to her being a superhero now.
When Kai heard this, his face immediately drooped.
"I still object! Especially you, Kelly! If you still hold this cynical attitude, you will harm others and yourself sooner or later! You are not playing a superhero game, you are really fighting a group of extremely vicious criminals. They They won't stand and be beaten by you like the NPCs in the game. They will fight back and have no bottom line! They will find anything that can threaten you! The West threatens you! Your relatives, your friends! Even your classmates and innocent passers-by! Maybe one day, those people you protect will turn against you! If you are ostracized and reviled by others, you will be left alone, and you will be attacked from all sides. This is not a game, Kelly! You must have the consciousness to be shattered into pieces!”
At least half of Kai's words are sensational, but they are not without purpose. After all, being a superhero is destined to walk between darkness and light. Are superheroes just? Not necessarily sincerely. Human nature is always elusive.
People are the most rational and best to speak when the matter has nothing to do with themselves. If you are a superhero in Chicago, people in New York and Los Angeles will definitely worship you because you are a superhero. But that's not necessarily the case for Chicagoans.
The favor of rice rises, and the hatred of rice rises.
Many times, human beings do not have only one thought. Therefore, no matter how well these superheroes do, if they fail to benefit a human being, they will often be incomprehensible, even cursed and hated by some people.
For example, there was a fire, Kelly and the others went to rescue, but someone died in the end.
To the uninitiated, superheroes are great.
But for those who have been in the situation, they always say, "Why didn't you save a few more?" "Why didn't you save us earlier?" "Why didn't you prevent the disaster in advance?" "I lost it. What should I do?" In the final analysis, this kind of question is a disguised declaration of "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you."
Just like that story: "A man would give 1 yuan to a beggar on the roadside every day when he went to work, but one day he didn't have 1 yuan, so he didn't give it that day. As a result, the beggar cursed the person who gave alms to him as having no conscience."
Human beings have become accustomed to enjoying the help of superheroes in favorable aspects, but sometimes because of a slight loss of interests, they often forget 99% of the help provided by the previous heroes. In our words, this is typical The rhythm of rising rice and grudges.
This is not alarmist, this is very possible. Because there are many such examples in the real world, and Kai himself has encountered them. In my previous life, some people have been blaming the police. Why do they wait until something happens before the police show up? Why can't the police nip the so-called threat in the bud?
The answer given by Kai is, it can't be done!
No one can do it except the omniscient and omnipotent God. The same goes for superheroes. Kai didn't want to see Kelly be troubled by this evil of human nature in the future.
Kai is not an optimistic person. On the contrary, after more than ten years as a criminal police officer, Kai has seen enough of the bad sides of human nature. He believes in a saying: Don't test human nature. Human nature cannot stand the test.
Kelly was frightened. She was willing to be a superhero, essentially because of vanity. How many noble sentiments did she have... none! A carefree rich girl, a silly sweet girl who has been favored by thousands of people since she was a child, an 18-year-old girl who has just entered college, how high-minded do you expect her to be?
"Then...then...then me." To be honest, Kelly was a little scared. She never considered that. So she wanted to back off. There's no shame in that.
But Diana couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that Kai did this just to scare Kelly. Diana thinks Kelly is a good girl who would make a good warrior. You shouldn't be trapped by Kai and live like a vase who doesn't understand the world. That's unfair and a waste!
"Don't scare her! I believe that since you have thought of this, you should have something to do, right?"
Kelly looked over immediately. She doesn't necessarily want to be this superhero, but... if she can be one, then why not?
Kai curled his lips when he saw Kelly's look, feeling that all his previous words were in vain. To be honest, Kai was really willing to let Kelly be a vase. What's wrong with a vase? What's wrong with eating well and drinking well, going shopping every day, dressing up beautifully and going out with a group of friends?
But Kaikelly's restless heart destined her not to stay quietly.
"I've already said my method, which is to be low-key and low-key. →When you appear in front of others, you must be disguised. Your uniforms must be changed and they must be able to cover up your body shape!"
As a result, just after Kai finished speaking, the three women all showed expressions of resistance.
Love of beauty... is definitely a woman’s Achilles’ heel!
Looking at them like this, they probably wouldn't accept it.
"Okay, fine-tuning, are you fine-tuning the head office?" Kai couldn't understand what the woman was thinking, why she wore a tight-fitting uniform that showed off her figure. That thing is not helpful in combat. Take Kai himself for example, he is especially I like that kind of thick armor, it gives me a sense of security. Tights? That thing is so shameful!
"What else?" The three girls accepted it in front of them, although according to their ideas, no fine-tuning was needed! If you are born beautiful, should you cover it up tightly? That's blasphemy! A good figure is meaningless if it is not shown!
"Your voices must be covered up. You also need to pay attention to your habitual movements. In addition, your identity is not allowed to be told to anyone. The fewer people know your identity, the better. You must separate your life from superheroes. "Kay said.
Kelly listened to Kai's words and fell into deep thought.
"Hmm... it's okay to adjust the figure or something. Maybe we can add some padding to the uniform? But what about the sound? Talk in a lower voice?"
"That's useless. Although adding padding may seem like it can change your figure, in fact the marks are too heavy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the clues at a glance. As for lowering the voice, it's even more of a joke. Under sonic analysis, it's not possible to change the tone of voice. Undetectable."
"What should we do?"
Kelly asked a little distressed.
"Don't worry, I'll let someone take care of it." Kai picked up the phone and called Ah Fu, who was still in Los Angeles dealing with the aftermath.
…
In the next few days, the entire Chicago Police Department was in a state of chaos. The upper-level bosses were bent on catching three dangerous transvestite lunatics, but the little policemen below didn't care one or the other and just muddle along. , anyway, there is no enthusiasm.
The police have their own sense of right and wrong, which cannot be erased by law and discipline.
The bosses actually knew this very well, and they had to draw elites from various branches and detective bureaus to complete this task.
Unfortunately, there are too few clues. As for mobilizing all resources to find those three female superheroes.
Hmm...how to put it?
Probably Kelly and the other three have never threatened the real interests of those in power from beginning to end. They are just fighting crime and have nothing to do with those powerful people. In this case, who would go to war?
It costs money to mobilize so many resources!
This is also where the police department is helpless. Sometimes it’s not that they don’t want to do things, but that their funds are too tight.
Take Chicago, for example. With the economic crisis, the market situation of this old city of Chicago is getting worse and worse. Even with the economic recovery, Chicago has gradually recovered some of its vitality. But the problem is that there are too many places to spend money. The police department Compared with previous years, capital investment has still not increased.
Everyone hopes to do the most things with the least money.
Those council elders also think so. In their view, the city's security may be important, but it is not important enough to ignore the city's development. Therefore, the funds will not be abundant for a while, but the police department must still follow their instructions. The will to get things done.
For the police officers below, those big principles are of no use. Raising wages and giving bonuses is the way to go! Don't talk about the bounden duty of the police. That thing can't support the family. Although the Chicago Police Department is known as one of the three largest police departments in the United States, compared with New York and Los Angeles, their treatment is the worst. This is a major reason for Chicago police corruption.
In short, no money, nothing.
Kai was also forced into the Special Investigation Team, but Kai made it clear from the beginning that he was not interested in the investigation. So the plan was blatant. At most, I would show up to the investigation team every day, and then go back to my desk to do my own thing.
What is he doing?
I still remember that Tony once asked Kay to find out the truth about his parents' car accident. Kai didn't have much interest at first, but after being pulled into this investigation team, Kai suddenly became free. Since he was free, he found something to do for himself.
So Kai took out the information Tony sent to him to see if he could find anything.
Not to mention, Tony really cares about this matter very much, and has collected a lot of information overtly and covertly over the years. He even found the autopsy records of his parents after the incident, as well as the transcripts of witnesses and police investigators at the time, which were all very detailed.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with most of them. If there is a problem, it won't wait until Kai comes to find it.
Kai looked through the information several times, but always felt that there was something wrong.
It's not that he saw the flaw, but that everything was so normal, everything seemed so reasonable. Even Tony personally found those people and asked again, but he still got the same answer as more than ten years ago.
This was nothing.
But through comparison, Kai discovered a problem that was not a problem.
When all the people who had left transcripts were questioned again about the car accident, they were exactly the same as the police transcripts!
This is interesting.
If it were you, would you remember all the details of a car accident more than a decade ago? Maybe someone would remember, but... it's exactly the same as the transcript of that year? This is a bit strange. Let alone more than a decade ago, even if you said something a few years ago, if you were asked to repeat it today, you might not be able to say it exactly the same.
Of course, it is not ruled out that these people have a deep impression of this incident. After all, this incident was very sensational at the time. It is not unreasonable for them to really remember it.
But Kai always feels that it is a bit too coincidental.
If one person does this, it can be said to be a coincidence. If two people say so, it can be forced. If three people do this, it is a very small probability situation, but if everyone does the same, it is a bit of a cover-up.
After figuring this out, Kai looked through the information again, including the map of the place where the accident happened that year.
In order to restore the situation at that time, Tony prepared extremely detailed information, and even found the newspapers and maps of that time.
Kai looked through the newspapers and maps, and was confused at first.
Marcus and Mike ran past him and accidentally spilled coffee on the old newspaper.
The coffee just happened to fall on a piece of news.
The news was about a surveillance camera installed at the local intersection. The earliest electronic surveillance system was invented by Americans in 1957. At first, it was only black and white surveillance and could not record. In 1968, the first surveillance system with video recording was born. The recording medium used reel tape. Color surveillance was born in 1976. Britain was the first country to popularize surveillance. The United States was a little later than Britain. In the 1990s, the surveillance system was also popularized.
Because of this, two groups of people began to argue whether surveillance cameras should be installed. Some people believed that installing surveillance cameras at intersections was an offense to personal privacy. They did not want to live under surveillance. Others agreed because it would effectively curb the local crime rate.
Kai wiped the coffee and read the report carefully.
He found a very familiar place name in it.
The road where Tony's parents had an accident.
That is to say, when Tony's parents passed by there, there were surveillance cameras, not just on that road, but also at the surrounding intersections and some areas.
So the question is... Where are the surveillance cameras?
To see if it was a car accident, the surveillance camera would tell you. But surprisingly, such an important thing was not only not available at the police, but even Tony had never heard of it!
Thinking of this, Kai immediately picked up the phone and called Tony.
