[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

"Mr. Custer, I hope you can... be more cooperative." Mike frowned slightly, looked at the man lying on the hospital bed, and said, "After the shooting, why did you leave the scene?"

"I don't know." Castor repeated his previous answer.He really didn't know why he wanted to leave, but subconsciously got up, and then walked straight, out of the place where the tragedy happened.He couldn't remember what he was thinking at the time, it should be a firm thought that allowed him, who was seriously injured, to be able to walk that far.But Castor couldn't remember, at least not now.

"Okay, then..." Mike shook his head as if giving up, then took out a photo from the folder in his hand and showed it to Castor, "Do you know this person?"

Castor looked at the man in the photo, older than himself, with gray hair, wearing a round eye, looking at the camera with a benevolent smile.Seems like a nice guy, but Castor has never met him: "No. Don't know him."

"His name was Ben Parker. Do you remember?"

"No...never heard of it."

This is also expected.Mike raised his eyebrows. It wouldn't be surprising if Castor was telling the truth.Parker's murder should have happened on a whim.It's normal not to know each other.So Mike took out another photo, which was a photo of an old-fashioned car: "Have you seen this car?"

"..." Castor looked at the photo of the car, and he wanted to say 'I've never seen it' again, but the sentence got stuck in his throat and he didn't say it.Because a few clips suddenly flashed in his mind, the light blue old-fashioned car in front of him flashed in his mind, mixed with male shouts, gunshots, bloodstains... Then Custer remembered the scene in the photo just now That man, he saw that man lying in a pool of blood, and he knelt beside that man, his body was covered in blood, he didn't know if it was his own blood or that man's blood, "...I...I don't know .” Castor closed his eyes, unable to remember exactly what had happened.

"I don't know? Haven't I seen it before?"

"I can't remember..." Castor said truthfully, "Your name is...your name is Taylor, right? Officer Taylor. If you have evidence, arrest me. I don't know what I've done. "

"I do have evidence." Mike didn't expect Custer to say such a thing. This kind of statement that is not a confession is really troublesome, "I have evidence. You have been to the scene of the crime. On the victim's body, There was your blood on the place where it fell down and on the car. We also found the murder weapon in a nearby sewer. It also had your bloody handprint on it."

"If that's the case, what are you waiting for, officer?" The blood on the murder weapon is already decisive evidence.Adding in other evidence, I can't escape the guilt no matter what.Maybe he did kill someone, maybe... right.Castor gave up all excuses. He was tired, so tired that he didn't want to say anything.

"...I can't think of a reason for you to do this." Mike paused for a moment, and he said, "You are the victim of another tragedy, and I can't imagine a reason for you to commit another tragedy at the same time."

"The victim... the victim." Castor opened his eyes again, thinking of the murdered victim, and asked, "Does he have a family?"

The question reminded Mike of the teenager.After the incident at the scene of the crime, Mike went to see him several times. No matter how many times he experienced such a thing, every child victim was an unbearable pain for Mike: "Yes. He has a wife and a nephew."

"nephew?"

"Yes. I've lived with them since I was a child, so it's like a son."

"..." Custer didn't say anything, he took a deep breath.He wanted to remember what the hell he had done last night, had he really, really killed Ben Parker?Did it really take away other people's loved ones too?The picture that flashed in Castor's mind made him unable to believe himself, and with all the evidence presented by Mike, even a layman could know who was the biggest suspect.

"Listen, Mr. Custer. I will not convict you rashly. You still have a little time before you can be discharged from the hospital." Although the evidence now held is enough to detain Custer, Mike still does not think that Custer Ster will be the murderer. Although sometimes the truth is not so satisfying, Mike also believes that the truth can always comfort people, so what he needs is the truth, not simply catching a murderer. Detective Carter will come over to ask you something else later..." Midway through Mike's speech, he found that there was a strange wound on Custer's body, just above the ear, and part of the earlobe seemed to be cut off by something. The angle of the wound was a bit strange, so Mike immediately changed the subject, "Mr. Custer, would you mind letting me check the wound?"

"?" Why did you mention this suddenly?Custer was also a little strange, but if you want to check, just check, he didn't refuse, "Whatever you want, officer, I can't move anyway, can I?"

"Alex... what are we going to do?"

"I don't even know what you're talking about."

"Mr. Custer can't be the murderer!"

"I don't even know who Mr. Custer is...ah, it hurts." Clutching the place where Beer slapped him, Alex immediately remembered who 'Mr. Custer' was, "but Ah, those policemen must have enough evidence to issue a warrant."

That is to say, if the person who was killed was someone else, that would be another story, but the person who was killed was Uncle Ben! !This is absolutely impossible!No matter how insane Custer is, he can't kill Uncle Ben!Uncle Ben is the nicest guy in the world! !So there must be some misunderstanding here! !

"We have to help Mr. Custer!!" Bea made a decision in this way. First of all, Frank Caster is absolutely impossible to be the murderer. Secondly, the little spider needs to get the truth.For these two reasons, Bea felt she had to do something.But it's not the police that can't intervene in the investigation. I don't know if the S.H.I.E.L.D. badge will work, but whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D. in its normal state or the current S.H.I.E.L.D. The investigation of the case is a bit too strange, it might backfire, and I have to think of a better way... Bier was thinking, and her eyes swept to a man in a suit and tie in the hospital corridor, by the way, if it was a lawyer , the investigation can be carried out logically, right?

"Alex! Let's go to Lawyer Matt!"

"what?"

"Hurry up!" If it was Matt's lawyer, he would definitely help!Not to mention that Daredevil and the Punisher are rare friends-these two are still ordinary people-wouldn't Lawyer Matt refuse to defend an innocent client?As long as you ask him well and become Frank Caster's lawyer, you will be able to get the police information.

"Miss Dawn? Where are you going?"

"Ah, Dr. Pim, you're still here..." Beer accidentally forgot about Dr. Pim, "We're going to find Lawyer Matt to help Mr. Custer get cleared! Dr. Pim will go back first. Let's go to the laboratory! Thank you for coming to help!"

"Ah... um..." Before Dr. Pim could react, Bea had already dragged Alex away.You are really energetic, Miss Dawn... But, how do you trust a stranger so much?Even with familiar people, Dr. Pim sometimes can't trust him like this. Human beings are creatures that change. Even if someone was good before, time or experience can change everything.Thinking this way, he looked back at Frank Caster who was still talking to the police in the ward, and hoped that this man... would not let down those who believed in him.
