The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 285 The Attacked Checkpoint
"I don't think it has much to do with it." Shirley said lightly, "This matter is mainly related to Basil Homer and the White Swan Orphanage..."

"...The Ava Club is also part of their group, but it also involves the Chopping Block Gang—that's the territory of the jigsaw puzzlers." He Nanyue thought more and more responsible, so he had to change the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Then The gang is a cooperative relationship, and the forces of each other are blended and overlapped... Only in this way can we get along better in the criminal world. No matter how strong you are, you can't do without connections."

"Well, in a place like New York, you need friends so much... It's not easy to get along without help." Shirley changed her sitting position again, and leaned her body comfortably towards the car door and seat: "I'll take a good rest For a while. When the vigil is at night, I can sleep less and let you rest more... You haven't slept well recently, and it will be bad if you can't use magic in a battle."

"No, Shirley—it won't be as exaggerated as you said, you will sleep as usual." He Nan said quickly: "You can't rest well in the car for a while? How can it replace normal sleep."

"It's okay." Shirley closed her eyes again, and said with a laughing voice: "This is enough to rest...Call me when you get home. How long will it be?"

"About an hour and a half." He Nan looked at the navigation: "We will arrive at the checkpoint after driving for a while."

"Yeah." Shirley tidied up her clothes, "Hey, it's a bit cold... I should really put a sheet or something on the car in the future. This will make it easier to sleep. If there is no cover, I won't feel very comfortable after waking up... "

"Here, my coat." He Nan took off his coat and handed it to her.

"No need." Shirley stuffed the coat back and insisted on vetoing it: "You can keep it for yourself, otherwise you will catch a cold too."

It is indeed cold enough.

He Nan had no choice but to stop pushing, and then put on his coat.

The spooky weather here in New York has always made He Nan feel full of trouble.

In this season, it is easy to be extremely hot during the day, but it is so cold that you shiver at night.

If only there was a piece of clothing that would automatically adjust the temperature when you put it on...

As Ho Nan thought about it, he suddenly remembered Iron Man.

Apparently, his suit will do.

...you can even pee inside the suit and turn it into drinkable water.

Hey, I feel really tired today...

He Nan yawned.

In the morning, I sneaked into the gas lamp market, and spent a lot of energy, but then went so far outside the city to solve the case...

... After a busy day, I really need to eat something and take a rest immediately after returning home.

Although Shirley should be cooking today in theory, but she is not feeling well, so let me cook.

do something...

...or let's just soak some noodles.

Or pick up some burgers at a fast food joint on the way.

He really felt that he had no strength to cook.

It feels like the whole person is being sucked out.

……

No, I'm so sleepy.

In this field, the risk factors of fatigue driving are very different from those in the city...

But if you are not careful, there will be a car accident with serious consequences.

He Nan felt that he had difficulty concentrating.

Mind often seems to be frozen in general.

Even if I tell myself that I can't sleep, my eyes will go dark from time to time, or I can clearly see something, but my brain is still unable to recognize what it means.

Of course, this is only for a moment.

But this delay is extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, he could already see the lights of the avenue, which lifted his spirits a lot.

Very good, on the road, and in a while we will reach the checkpoint.

Stay a little longer, pass the checkpoint, and pull over in the suburbs to recover.

He Nan thought about it, staring at the road ahead that was already slightly illuminated by lights, trying to concentrate.

Gradually, as the two curves were turned, he could already see the lights of the checkpoint.

...But the scene under the light seemed a little strange.

Um……?
... had a car accident?
Why did the lifting rod break and fell to the ground...

The same is true of the checkpoint huts, with broken windows and two walls cracked.

Among them, the rooms that should have been brightly lit were all dark.

... something is wrong.

As he got closer to the checkpoint, He Nan really became vigilant.

Are the lights outside the house on, and all the lights inside the house off...

power failure……?No, the electricity is paralyzed.

Who attacked here?
Can't just risk getting close...

To be cautious, he parked the car 300 meters away from the checkpoint, then opened the door, and prepared to get out of the car to check.

"...I thought I was home now." Hearing the sound, Shirley opened her eyes and looked at He Nan: "Why, what's the matter? Why did it suddenly... huh?"

When Shirley spoke, her tone also paused.

Also noticing the problem at the checkpoint, Miyano Shiho's expression immediately became serious.

"Someone must have attacked the city entry checkpoint. That's why it's in such a miserable state." He Nan took out the binoculars and began to observe: "We have to see what happened over there first, and try not to get close as easily as possible."

Hearing what he said, Shirley silently took out the binoculars.

After searching around, He Nan still didn't see the suspected intruder, but through the broken window, he vaguely saw blood splattered inside.

Just when he thought he could only see so much and was about to discuss countermeasures with Shirley, he suddenly saw someone crawling out of the door in the area around the mirror, and then he seemed to be shouting and was dragged back by something.

It was too far away, and it happened indoors, He Nan couldn't hear his shout at all.

However, this scene was enough to make him tremble in his heart, and he immediately decided to set off immediately.

"Go, Shirley!" He Nan hurriedly got into the car and closed the door: "I saw someone being attacked!"

"By what?" She didn't seem to have seen this scene, but she reacted quickly and got into the car immediately under He Nan's call.

"I don't know, anyway, we have to save him!" He Nan started the engine the moment Shirley came up, and then the car accelerated almost at the same moment Shirley closed the door, rushing towards the checkpoint.

They drove the car all the way into the entrance where the roadblock was removed, and stopped by the hut where someone was attacked. Then they got out of the car together, took out their weapons, and shone into the house with the light of the flashlight.

With the movement of the beam of the flashlight, a face of an inspector with eyes open and half of his face torn off appeared before his eyes.

He fell dead on his back, a battered, battered shotgun still in his hand.

...the lower body of the corpse is missing.

Bloodstains stretched all the way into another dark room.
