Chapter 538 Inquiry for Subscription! ! ! !

"We have searched her house. Amazingly, there is no computer, no phone, or even any decent electronic equipment at home. →" Chloe reported the situation to Kai immediately after returning from Vivian's house.

"Thank you, Chloe. Then it's your turn, Barry."

Kai said to a shy boy behind Chloe.

Barry is the unlucky guy who was struck by lightning. Or he is lucky. After waking up, this child actually awakened a very, very powerful ability. Kai called that thing the speed force. He became very, very fast and could run at supersonic speed. The highest speed can be close to the speed of light. Although he couldn't use this ability well at the beginning, his reaction speed couldn't keep up with his own action speed.

That is, the situation where the brain can't keep up with the body.

However, with the help of Dr. Harrison Wells, using the particle acceleration channel as a training ground, he can finally control this power. At least he won't accidentally hit the wall. According to Dr. Harrison Wells's research, the application of the Speed ​​Force is definitely not limited to this. He has now focused his research on Barry, hoping to maximize Barry's terrible power.

But before that, Barry must go out to work. After all, no matter how powerful the Speed ​​Force is, Barry has to eat.

So, Barry became a professional forensic expert at the West District Police Station. This was Kai's initiative. Barry is no longer an ordinary person. Kai is worried about him, so he puts him under his nose.

Barry is not too repulsive to this arrangement. He knows why Kai did this. After all, he is also a policeman, so he doesn't have any special ideas about it. He has never thought of using his abilities to do anything criminal. On the contrary, he has always hoped to make better use of his abilities and help others better.

I have to say that this guy is really gentle.

"Very, very clean!" Barry said.

"What?" Kai squinted at Barry. He didn't like to make jokes while working, especially in a position like the Forensics Department that requires extremely high professional qualities. When reporting, he must be accurate.

Barry immediately became nervous. To be honest, he didn't know why he was so afraid of Kai. But every time Kai looked at him, he was inexplicably nervous.

"I mean, the victim's house was unbelievably clean. There were no fingerprints, no hair, and even no signs of anyone moving around in the room! That house was abnormally clean." Barry added.

Kai's expression remained unchanged, and he curled his lips: "NSA's style, leaving no trace at all."

Barry just learned that this case was related to the NSA: "National Security Agency?"

Kai nodded. This kid has been locked up in the Star Lab for too long and is a bit out of touch with society, so he hasn't even eaten some of the recent big melons.

"Yep!" Kai nodded. Then he ignored Barry who was stunned and looked at Chloe: "Is the victim's family here?"

"Yes, her husband. In the conference room."

"OK, let's go talk to him."

...

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Aubrey. I'm Kai Wayne from the Serious Crime Unit, and I'm in charge of your wife's case." Kai looked at the sturdy man in front of him with the information. Jack Aubrey, like his wife Vivian, is a reporter, but unlike Vivian, he is a sports reporter. He is a reporter for the NFL Los Angeles Rams.

"It's okay." Aubrey seemed a little depressed, but he didn't seem surprised by his wife's death.

Kai noticed this: "Mr. Aubrey, you don't seem to be very surprised by your wife's death?"

Aubrey did not deny: "After Vivian made those reports, I had a hunch about this outcome. You know, after all, she exposed the world's largest intelligence agency. I advised her, but she didn't listen."

Kai nodded, without any comment on Aubrey's words. Instead, he continued to ask: "When was the last time you saw Vivian?"

"A month ago."

"A month? Aren't you a couple?" Although Kai's first suspect is still the NSA, this does not mean that other people may not have killed Vivian.

"We have been in a cold war for nearly half a year, and divorce is just a formality, but we are both too busy to have the time to go through this final formality." Aubrey heard Kai's suspicion, but he didn't care much. First, he really didn't feel guilty, he knew he was not the murderer. Second, he also wanted to know who killed his wife. Although their marriage was broken, it didn't mean that their feelings really disappeared.

"Well... our information doesn't have this item." Kai flipped through the information and found that it was not noted in the information.

"That's because we have never made it public. We are both too busy. I follow the team around every season, and so does she. It's a miracle that we can spend one month together a year. In fact, if we didn't both wear wedding rings, many people would think we are single." Aubrey shrugged and said.

"Is this the reason for your divorce?"

"Not entirely. We have a lot of differences."

"Can I ask what the differences are?"

Aubrey understood that this was an assessment of whether he had a motive to kill Vivian. So he chose to tell everything, after all, it was not shameful. "A lot, such as our lifestyle. I like sports and football. In fact, I am good at this industry, but Vivian... She thinks sports reporters are not reporters. At most, they are a little better than entertainment reporters. →"

Reporters are also divided into different levels. The most respected ones are naturally the big reporters who criticize current affairs and can go in and out of the White House. They are basically the top of reporters. They can make a fortune by publishing a memoir after retirement. Next is the investigative reporter who specializes in exposing various scandals. Generally speaking, this kind of reporter is very easy to become a hero. They can also publish a memoir after retirement.

Next is the social news reporter. This kind of reporter is the most ordinary. There is absolutely no market for their memoirs.

Next is the sports reporter, and the bottom is the so-called paparazzi.

"And lifestyle. Vivian is like a big lady. She wants the best of everything. And I... well, I'm more casual. Of course, there's also the matter of exposing the NSA. We had a quarrel over it."

"Why?"

"I think she's gone crazy. Exposing the NSA? Of course, these shady guys deserve to be exposed, but those agents who serve the country? They shouldn't be implicated by this. This is a betrayal!"

"Are you a soldier?"

"SEAL Team 10."

That's not surprising. Soldiers may not like those in power, but they still have some sympathy for those who serve the country.

"Do you know if Vivian has been acting strange recently?"

"Haha, there are many things. Since she started reporting on the NSA, she has become very secretive. But she never explained to me what she was doing. I just accidentally heard a codename "American". All her information came from him. If anyone knows who killed Vivian, maybe he knows it best."

"Do you know any information about this 'American'?"

"Vivian is very careful. No one knows any information about 'American' except her. Of course, you can ask her editor-in-chief. Maybe they know more than me."

"One last question."

"What?"

"Does Vivian have a lover outside?" Because when Barry and others were doing an autopsy on Vivian, the forensic doctor of the forensic department found the remains of a man's thing in Vivian's lower body, which means that Vivian may have had sex with someone before her death. As for whether it was voluntary, it requires subsequent evidence to prove.

"Maybe, maybe not... It doesn't matter. I can tell you very clearly that Vivian's death has nothing to do with me. Our relationship has been over for a long time. We even divided our property a year ago. Even if Vivian died, I would not get a penny more. She has a will. After her death, all her property will be donated. And I am looking for other women outside, so it is impossible for love to kill."

"If you still need my alibi or something like that, I will try my best to cooperate. I will send you all my itineraries after I go back. Now... any questions?"

"No, thank you for your cooperation."

Kai actually likes witnesses/suspects like Aubrey. They don't think about messy things. They say whatever they want, which is conducive to improving efficiency.

Afterwards, Kai talked with the editor-in-chief and colleagues of the newspaper where Vivian worked. Unsurprisingly, almost immediately, these people regarded NSA as the first suspect.

Kai thought so at first, but now Kai feels that... NSA's suspicion has become less.

The reason is simple. They are an intelligence agency. At this juncture, they have to keep a low profile. Killing Vivian will only make them the biggest suspect, and they can't wash it off. Look at everyone's reaction.

If it was really the NSA who did it, then it's not smart to put the blame on them.

Although Kai thinks the NSA is incompetent, he doesn't think these people are mentally retarded.

But in the afternoon, Barry's discovery made Kai change his mind again.

"She has multiple fractures all over her body, especially in the head and face, and we also found a lot of blood accumulation on the remaining tissues, which means that those parts have been hit. In addition, the way she was killed is also very professional. At the same time, given that there are no defensive wounds on her arms and palms... We can make a guess that she..."

"Torture." Kai gave the answer directly.

Barry obviously didn't expect Kai to know, so he was a little stunned.

"Not bad."

"Well, I'm familiar with this." Kai also did this kind of work when he was in the military. Kai took the information, looked at the report on it carefully, and suddenly found a problem: "Incus Ting."

"What?" Barry asked.

"The perpetrator didn't seem to intend to kill her."

"How could that be?" Barry obviously believed that the person who tortured Vivian was the murderer.

"Listen, kid. I've done torture work and know how to do it. The things on it." Kai patted the information: "It can only be regarded as a very basic torture. There will be no subsequent effects, at most flesh wounds. The person who tortured her was very measured."

"But she died in the end." Barry, like most American youths, is full of resistance to the government and authority. They don't like the government and their minions. This is also the reason why many college students are unwilling to become police officers.

After all, no matter which country they are in, college students are naturally left-wing. I like seed oil, pan boiling and other things. The pattern is broken, that one.

"Boss, do you think Vivian is really treasonous?"

It can be said that Vivian's actions have caused polarization in society. Some people believe that she has really smeared her country and exposed confidential documents, putting the country's overseas agents in unnecessary danger. Another group of people believe that the NSA is breaking the law. They are not only monitoring their allies, they are also monitoring the people! Vivian's approach is correct. If she doesn't do this, the NSA's evil deeds will continue.

"I don't care." Kai shook his head. Treason is just treason. Does he have anything to do with Kai? "I only know that Vivian is my victim now, and our job is to find the real culprit. It's not up to me to tell what kind of person Vivian is. As long as no one deprives her of her human rights, we have an obligation." Give her justice."

The police do not need to think too much when doing things. The police have a set of effective rules...that is the law. As long as the law does not stipulate that the person died in vain, then the police are obliged to find out how he died and who killed him. die.

Just like a prostitute being forced to have sex, isn't that called having sex? As a natural human right, everyone has the right to protect life and property from infringement.

Therefore, Barry's statement is completely untenable. Whether she is treasonous or not does not affect the murder investigation.

"Looks like we need to talk to the NSA."

…

"I have nothing to disclose to you. Your clearance level is not high enough. I am here purely out of courtesy." Wendell House, deputy director of the National Security Bureau, sat in Kai's office and said expressionlessly.

It seems that all intelligence officers have this kind of virtue, never taking their time and never showing emotions. The same goes for Wendell, the deputy director who is a rare black man, at least among the top ranks of the NSA.

"Very good. It seems that I don't need those formalities. Let's get straight to the point. Did you kill Vivian?"

Wendell smiled this time: "I also appreciate your attitude. And I am also happy to answer this question. My answer is no!"

"Did you send someone to do that?"

"No, but I have to say that her death is a happy thing for me."

"Does this count as admitting that you have a motive to kill?"

Wendell's face darkened: "Everyone who has read her article knows what she did to us. She severely damaged the NSA and left many people's lives hanging by a thread. What you should do is to arrest that treason, and You’re not here to cause trouble for us!”

"Treason is not the scope of the police's business. You can ask the FBI. We are only responsible for homicide cases. And you and your organization are the most suspect. According to the findings of my forensics, the murderer is a professional like you. ”

"Professional? Haha, it seems that you do have a misunderstanding of our NSA. Let me make an assumption. If it was really us who did it, I don't think we would have had this conversation."

Chloe on the side couldn't help but asked: "What do you mean?"

"It means that if our NSA agents assassinate Vivian, we won't be able to find Vivian's body at all."

"Yes, with all due respect, your so-called professional evidence seems to me to be quite amateurish."
