Chapter 520: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Small Universe Chapter 277

"Hmm?"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore, you are too bad."

"I was wrong."

Hawk admitted his mistake smoothly, his speed very fast.

Soon.

The Stacy apartment block arrived.

Entering his vision.

Downstairs of the apartment, a police car was parked, and two patrol officers were sitting inside the police car.

"It's the 21st Precinct's."

"Hmm, they should be worried about the shooter coming home."

After all, the shooter who shot George hasn't been found, and the reason hasn't been found yet; just in case, it's very normal for the precinct to send officers to the door to prevent the shooter who hasn't been caught yet from running here.

However, Hawk's Audi A8 is registered in the police system, and Gwen is also an acquaintance of the 21st Precinct officers, so after seeing Hawk and Gwen get out of the car, the two officers in the patrol car didn't appear.

Hawk and Gwen didn't go to greet them specifically either.

Top-floor apartment.

Howard and Simon, who were originally very naughty, were now sitting obediently on the sofa, watching TV, not fighting like before.

Even the takeaway boxes on the dining table that were sent earlier had been tidied up neatly.

Howard, who was already twelve, and Simon, who was eleven, already knew what had happened.

Dad was shot and is in the hospital.

Mom went to the hospital to accompany Dad, and the only thing they could do was wait at home obediently for news and not add trouble to Mom.

After Hawk and Gwen opened the door and walked in, Howard and Simon, who were sitting on the sofa somewhat absent-mindedly, suddenly had their eyes light up and stood up from the sofa.

"Sister!"

"Brother-in-law, how is Dad."

"Don't worry, nothing major."

Hawk looked at Simon, who was looking up at him, and smiled, rubbing Simon's little head.

Howard also hurriedly looked at his sister Gwen.

Gwen nodded.

"Dad is fine."

"Phew!"

Howard let out a sigh of relief and looked at Gwen: "Can Simon and I go to the hospital to see Dad? We promise not to run around, move around, or talk nonsense."

Gwen laughed: "Eat dinner first; when we go to deliver food to Mom, you guys follow along, and then come back."

Howard and Simon heard this and smiled happily, only then believing what Gwen and Hawk said about their dad being fine.

They are small, not stupid; their learning talent might not be as good as their sister Gwen's, but they are at least the sons of a Captain, so they have basic judgment.

Soon.

The two little ones, who were completely relieved, sat back on the sofa, looking at the clock on the wall from time to time, with a kind of anticipation for the arrival of the evening.

Hawk and Gwen came to George's study, preparing to look around to see if they could find any useful clues.

But...

"Eh?"

"The door is locked?"

Gwen, as usual, pressed the door handle, and when she finally pressed down to push the door, she was suddenly stunned, looked at the motionless study door, blinked, and turned to look at Hawk: "Dad locked the door."

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

"Is this strange?"

"Of course, Dad never locks the study door."

Although George often worked overtime in the study after returning home, even so, George had never locked the study door.

Because even Howard and Simon knew that without George's permission, they were not allowed to enter the study.

So George had never locked the study door.

Hawk listened to Gwen's explanation, his mind moved, and he directly disappeared in front of Gwen.

The next second.

The study door was opened by Hawk from the inside.

Gwen walked in, turned on the light, looked around the study, and said: "There are no photos on the wall, why did Dad lock the door?"

Hawk also looked around the study.

The study was arranged very simply.

Desk, computer, bookcase; that was the whole study.

Gwen said this while walking straight to George's computer and opening the computer on the desk.

Hawk's gaze fell on a piece of paper on the desk.

Entering his vision.

There was a timestamp on the paper, the time was exactly 9:30 this morning, and below it were the two abbreviated letters BU.

George even specially drew two horizontal lines under these letters.

This indicates it seems to be important information.

Hawk asked for Gwen's phone, looked at Gwen, who had already opened the computer and was very skillfully entering the password to enter the desktop, raised an eyebrow: "You know the password for George's study computer?"

Gwen shrugged: "Of course, I even know my dad's withdrawal password; my birthday."

That's right too.

Daughter slave, very normal.

Hawk thought to himself and called Detective Ma Huoni.

Detective Ma Huoni, who had already joined Detective Hei Er and had found a store that might have captured the entrance and exit of the multi-story parking lot and was retrieving surveillance, frowned.

"BU?"

"Yes, it should be the abbreviation of the name of the informant George was going to meet, or something."

Hawk and Detective Ma Huoni exchanged information, then looked at the timestamp on the paper: "By the way, when did the 12th Precinct report the shooting."

"At 9:35 AM, the call center received the shooting code."

"Then that's correct."

Hawk's eyes lit up: "No matter why George went there, it must have something to do with BU."

Detective Ma Huoni frowned: "BU, I can't figure it out for a moment; did George leave any other clues?"

Hawk said "wait a moment" and looked at Gwen.

Gwen shook her head.

She had just looked around the computer; there were many files in the computer, but they were basically files related to the daily operations of the precinct.

For example, the precinct's budget, the crime data report submitted to the headquarters every month, or major incident reports, and some meeting summaries.

Hawk understood: "Nothing, how about you?"

Ma Huoni said: "There is no surveillance on the third floor of the multi-story parking lot; Hei Er and I found a surveillance store that might have captured a photo of the shooter and are retrieving the surveillance."

Just as they were speaking.

Hei Er's voice sounded from behind.

Ma Huoni turned his head to look, then said to the phone: "Hei Er might have made a discovery, I'll hang up first."

Hawk said "hmm."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Hawk returned the phone to Gwen and looked at the study again.

But this time, he didn't use his five senses to look.

But his sixth sense!

George, who had never locked the study door, locked the study this time; this can only indicate one thing.

There must be a secret in this study that George didn't want anyone to discover.

Even if it was his family.

But this might not be to guard against his family, but to protect his family.

Sure enough.

Hawk's gaze fixed on the bookcase against the wall, raised an eyebrow, and then smiled.

The next second.

Under Gwen's gaze, he walked to the bookcase, opened the bookcase, looked at the third shelf, found the "Constitution," and then pried it forward.

Instantly, a creaking sound came from the bottom of the bookcase, and the bookcase that was originally close to the wall began to move to the other side.

Gwen, sitting in the chair, had her mouth slightly open, walked to Hawk's side, looked at the moving bookcase, and gasped: "Hiss, how come I didn't know this bookcase could move?"

Hawk didn't speak, looked at a safe exposed in front of him after the bookcase moved.

He glanced sideways at Gwen on the side.

"This one wouldn't also use your birthday as the password, would it."

"Try it."

Gwen reacted from the shock, walked to the safe, twisted the old-fashioned insurance dial, and entered her birthday password.

Click!

The safe opened in response.

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

Once again.

Daughter slave.

There were quite a few things in the safe.

Several pieces of Stacy family heirloom jewelry, a loaded Glock 17 pistol, and a full magazine next to it.

Under the magazine was a file.

Gwen very skillfully checked the pistol, said "hasn't been fired recently," then stood up and stood with Hawk, looking at the file Hawk opened.

Entering his vision.

A photo of a charred corpse appeared.

Hawk's expression was calm.

Gwen on the side was stunned, but didn't have any reaction, but frowned?

"This corpse, how come I feel like I've seen it somewhere?"

"New York Times, Otos, that reporter."

Hawk responded to Gwen's question.

Gwen also remembered: "Is it the reporter who was found tied to a cross and burned to death on the banks of the Hudson River before Christmas last year?"

Hawk nodded.

It was this case that caused George and Helen to be unable to return to Waterfall Town with them for Christmas.

This burned corpse was named Otos, a reporter who was quite famous within the New York Police Department.
