Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 71 Suspicious Clouds
The phone rang.

Colt picked up the disposable phone and answered.

"I think you should just finish class at this time." Matt said on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah." Colt stood in front of the locker, tilted his head and clamped the phone, and started to take things.

"It's not convenient to say on the phone, come to my house." After finishing speaking, Matt hung up the phone.

"The library isn't going, is it?" Valeria's voice suddenly sounded, startling him.

"I……"

"I understand." Valeria said, "After all, you will be contacted with a disposable phone, and there are not many people, right?"

"Sorry," Colt said.

Valeria shook her head with a helpless expression as always: "Go."

……

Fergie wasn't at Matt's house
"She's dead," Matt replied. "Marita shot herself."

"Dead?" Colt was taken aback. It stands to reason that he was heavily in debt and had withdrawn all the money. Running away is more likely than dying, right?However, suicide is not out of the question if you are extremely desperate. "

"So, the clue is broken?" Colt was a little embarrassed. The scene must have been blocked by the police now. Although he had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge about field exploration in the "big boss training class", if he couldn't see the scene, then Meaningless.

Matt pulled out a stack of files from his briefcase, "This is a police investigation."

He seemed to sense Colt's doubts, and added: "I have some friends."

"Okay." Colt didn't intend to delve into it. He now knows that this kind of low-level street hero will maintain a tacit relationship with the police, "probably like the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D...."

Looking at the uncoded photos of the scene, I was honestly a little uncomfortable, but Colt quickly adjusted and began to seriously analyze the photos and the police report.

"Is there a source for that gun?" Colt asked.

"The victim bought it by himself a week ago." Matt replied, "The police confirmed that it was the person who went there."

"Spent all the money and killed myself," Colt mused. "It would have seemed normal without that threat and the weird credit card bill."

"But no if," Matt replied. "It's not normal. If you're going to threaten or bribe someone, how can you give nothing?"

"It's hard to say." Colt replied, "If it wasn't suicide, maybe it could be explained as murder, but why is it suicide? Even if it's suicide in fear of crime, it's a bit too far-fetched, right? And there's no way to explain the bill. ah?"

"Could it be that we are thinking too much?" Matt said suddenly, "What if the bill has nothing to do with the threat? Maybe it's just that she spent a lot of money for a lover, and then she was controlled by someone because of financial problems. After obstructing justice , the other party refused to pay the reward, so he chose to commit suicide in desperation?"

But soon, he shook his head himself: "No, it's too coincidental."

"Man, man, man..." Colt muttered, "Do you think it's weird?"

"It's really weird," Matt replied.

"Judy, Sarah, and Marita..." Matt said, "There is a man behind it, it seems that this ghost-like man completely controls the whole situation."

"But Marita..." Matt replied, "She doesn't look like the other two. Judging from her appearance and age, she shouldn't meet the prey's standard."

Feeling that Colt was stunned, Matt asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"How... how did you see the appearance?" Colt finally couldn't hold back.

"Smell, sound, echolocation, touch, description, etc." Matt replied, "Even if I can't see it, I can get no less information than you."

"Well... this is really a magical ability." After getting the explanation, Colt didn't go any further, "It's true, Marita...she's not so... well, beautiful. So, maybe we made a mistake Is it? In fact, this hunter is not so picky?"

"It's not impossible, but no matter what kind of hunter there is, there is always a rule for picking prey, and there is no completely random hunting." Matt said.

"Indeed." Colt looked around. "Do you have something like a blackboard or a whiteboard?"

Matt spreads his hands.

"Okay." Colt sighed, he really didn't need these things in Matt's state.

"My time is almost up." Colt glanced at his phone, "I'm going home, I'll be back this weekend."

"Okay, I'll investigate again." He thought for a while, then said, "Apart from the whiteboard, what else do you need?"

Colt thought for a moment, "Ask Fergie to borrow the computer."

……

Back home, Colt connected Reed's "gift" to the computer.

"What is this?" Colt looked blankly at the document Reed gave him, "Hypnotism training materials? What exactly does Reed want?"

Originally thought that Reid would either give himself some scientific research materials, or give himself some clues about this case, how could it be such a thing?

"Hypnosis doesn't look like a decent style, does it?" Colt thought, "Could it be that this case is actually hypnosis?"

Thinking about all the weird phenomena in the case, if it was hypnosis, then maybe it would make sense.

"Hypnotizing famous criminals?" he wondered. "Faust?"

But soon, he vetoed this idea. As an important member of Hydra, Faust would not be the kind of person who used his ability to deceive the little girl, right?
"However, there must be a reason for Reed's actions." Colt thought, "Reed has never been a person who would aimlessly. If he did something, he must have his purpose."

Thinking of this, he decided to seriously study the documents sent by Reed.

"Hmm..." Colt thought while watching, "It's just some normal hypnotic content, and it doesn't involve the kind of material that can reach the field of mind control. Most of the content is in the scope of basic psychology, which makes me feel more hypnotic. I feel a lot more at ease..."

He continued to read, but soon, his brows were frowned again: "Why are there so many contents about the protection of the mind and consciousness? This is simply like Reed trying his best to let me strengthen my willpower and spirit protection."

It must not be a coincidence, Reed must know something.

He picked up the phone and made a call.

"Hello?" Colt's familiar female voice answered the phone, "What's the matter?"

"Is Reed there?"

"They left in the afternoon." Valeria replied, "If you have seen his gift, if you have any questions, you probably won't get an answer."

"What does he know, and I need to know that stuff," Colt said.

"It's useless." Valeria replied, "If he wanted you to know, he wouldn't have explained it in the information."

After a moment of silence, Valeria continued: "I feel now that he is deliberately avoiding you and letting you deal with this matter...I have a feeling that he is a little too hard on cultivating you... ..."
