Chapter 2553: Rustling Down (48)
The gift Valentine brought was also very special, a small pig doll. Of course, it wasn't as terrifying as the pig head mask he often wore, but rather a bit cute.
Shiler touched the surface of the small pig doll and said, "Is this human skin?"
"Yes, there was a guy who didn't have eyes..."
When Valentine said this, Shiler saw a familiar color on the hind hoof part of the pig. He leaned closer to look and found that this should be a part of someone's back muscle skin.
"Let me guess, a Mexican guy."
"How do you know?" Valentine asked with some surprise, but it wasn't strange. That group of people always liked to pick things up.
Jonathan didn't say anything either. Obviously, even though this city is located on the East Coast, the public security chaos brought by Mexican immigrants is not small. Although the proportion of people of color in Cat Getan is not high, it is like other cities, bringing no small impact to the public security of the bottom society.
Looking at Shiler's expression, Valentine narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems this guy is indeed not simple."
"He was wandering around your house?"
"Not exactly nearby, he was in the community next to mine. He robbed a supermarket before, which caused me to be unable to buy breakfast ingredients, and then dug up cables, which caused my house to lose power, so I slaughtered him."
"Do you know him?" Jonathan looked at Shiler's expression and asked.
"Two people died in our community." Shiler said, "They have the same tattoos. I have seen this kind of tattoo, it comes from a US-Mexico transnational drug trafficking organization, the Penitence Cartel."
The atmosphere in the room became serious immediately. Valentine's fingers groped on the back of the bat doll.
"Don't you think this is a bit coincidental?" Shiler said, "Someone wants to frame us with a murder case, and it just so happens that the people who died are all from this drug trafficking organization. This can also be considered their usual trick."
"What do you mean?"
"Framing, making you socially dead is just the first step. At this time, you are forced by survival pressure to cooperate with them, but once the storm of the murder case passes, your pressure is not so great, of course, it is impossible to listen to them forever."
"You might even want to make them pay the price, pay a bloody price for their reckless and stupid actions before."
Jonathan and Valentine looked at each other. Jonathan supported his head with one hand and said, "You still say you don't have mind-reading."
"The two of us indeed planned it this way, which is also one of the reasons why we agreed to their invitation." Valentine smiled and said, "If you want to possess our wisdom, you must be prepared to bear our madness. They must be prepared."
"They are not stupid either." Shiler said, "Since the murder case cannot bring enough long-lasting pressure, then change the way."
"For example?"
"A powerful organization that has a feud with you harasses you and hunts you down day and night, completely destroying your life in the ordinary society, expelling you from society, and you can only serve them."
"I can't see anything powerful about them." Valentine sewed the last stitch and said, "Is it considered powerful to scream miserably before dying?"
"But you lost a breakfast and the power was cut off."
Both of them were silent and didn't speak. They knew they weren't afraid of these drug dealers coming to find them. Anyway, it was just a matter of whether there was enough space in the refrigerator.
But if they used these low-level means to harass repeatedly, then no one could stand it. You can't stop going to work, stop making money, and watch them kill every day, right?
This group of perverted killers with pursuits hates similar slaughtering behaviors. They don't even like to kill those who come to their door, let alone chase after their butts.
They can also imagine that now the Penitence Cartel hasn't reacted yet. If they react, their revenge will definitely not be limited to robbery or power cuts. Anyway, human lives over there are worthless, and killers are sent here by the dozen, so don't think about having a peaceful life.
As for abandoning everything and killing to their old home, that brings us back to the point. The Penitence Cartel is the underworld, but the one recruiting them now is the boss of the white world.
The Penitence Cartel kills, they turn a blind eye, but if you kill, that's a heavy blow. As long as you are double-standard to the extreme, they are invincible.
This group of madmen is not fearless, otherwise they wouldn't play games with Batman, but would go directly to find Bruce Wayne. The so-called human power has its limits, and the arm cannot twist the thigh.
When Cat Getan's order hadn't been restored, they could still have some home-field advantage. Now Cat Getan is almost becoming a civilized city, and they have to be sneaky when killing someone, let alone fighting with law enforcement departments in a big way.
It can only be said that no matter how smart and crazy they are, they are ultimately marginal figures in society. Without an organization, they cannot become a climate, and scattered soldiers can be broken one by one.
"So that's how it is." Jonathan narrowed his eyes and said, "Then do you think we should still go? Honestly, it's not that there is no way to deal with them, but..."
"But you also can't bear to part with your current life." Shiler smiled and said, "The feeling of wearing a human skin is not bad, right?"
Jonathan rolled his eyes again, but ultimately didn't speak.
Shiler walked back to the sofa, sat down, tilted his head, picked up the water cup, and took a sip of water, saying, "I guess some of your colleagues, or most of your colleagues, feel angry about you being framed and driven away, and they even want to help you take revenge without you opening your mouth."
"It can't be called most, some." Jonathan was still stubborn, obviously wanting to win the championship.
"Mainly Zatanna." Jonathan also looked a little headache. He said, "You still remember that I taught this girl for a few days, right?"
"You can also be considered her mentor, although she finally saw through your conspiracy."
"This is the most troublesome point. At that time, in order to gain her trust, I did teach her some things, so although she felt that my purpose was impure, she still admitted that I was her teacher."
"Did she discover that you were framed?"
"I said it, the case they made was clumsy to an unbelievable degree. They threw an arm directly into my refrigerator, what does that count as?"
Shiler couldn't help laughing, turned his head and glanced at his refrigerator.
Jonathan was stunned and said, "They wouldn't treat you like this too, right?"
Shiler blocked his mouth with a cup, but still nodded.
Jonathan laughed wildly and said, "I thought you, the damn serial killer leader, would have special treatment. It seems that in their eyes, you are no different from us, hahahahaha!"
"Get to the point."
Jonathan coughed twice and said, "Although I did put some things that shouldn't be put in the refrigerator of the new house, I hid them very well. They just put the arm in the freezer, on top of the vegetables and chicken I froze. Anyone with a brain would know something is wrong."
"I didn't expect you to rate Zatanna so highly."
"This is now, I didn't admit that the thing in her head was called a brain before. She has indeed grown a lot." Jonathan recalled the situation that day and said, "We were in a new community, and people have been moving in recently. That stupid girl didn't know what she was thinking, and actually chose to use her magic to do the moving work..."
"Then you don't know how profitable this work is."
Jonathan cut a sound, obviously not taking it to heart. He said, "I happened to go out to buy things, and I ran into her. Zatanna looked quite happy. Knowing that I didn't want to pay attention to her, she had to stop me."
"Just one step slower, the police blocked me, insisting that someone saw me kill someone and wanted to search my house. At that time, I almost knew what would happen."
"But I didn't expect that because those police were evil, Zatanna insisted that they were violent law enforcement and wanted to take that crocodile and go with us."
"The police couldn't stop her, and neither could I, so we went to our house together. Sure enough, we found that arm, and another police officer said there was eyewitness testimony, so they were going to take me away."
"Who knew this girl didn't know how she grew a brain, saying that I am a chemist. If I killed and dismembered, I would just use chemical agents to dissolve the body. Why would I spend so much effort to physically dismember and insist on stuffing an arm into the refrigerator?"
"And what kind of soul state remained on this body, it didn't match the time of the crime they said, I don't understand much either."
"She quarreled with the police, but the police couldn't quarrel with her, so they took us all to the police station and saw that Clay."
"The result was that this girl made a big scene in the police station, but after all, the arm couldn't twist the thigh. That damn guy threatened them, wanting to close their moving company. I really couldn't stand them quarreling there, so I drove them away."
Jonathan shrugged and said, "Zatanna was almost pissed to death, and before leaving, she said she would definitely find evidence."
"Really not easy." Shiler said, "She was actually able to realize the key to the case."
"Who said it wasn't? It seems that after staying in Cat Getan for a long time, everyone is a serial killer." Jonathan sighed.
"So you are still a little moved, right?"
Jonathan obviously suppressed the upward corners of his mouth, cleared his throat and said, "To tell you the truth, the person sent by Clay to mess with my project was indeed dissolved by me with chemical agents. Thinking of that stupid girl refuting righteously, as if I were really a victim, I wanted to laugh out loud."
"The interviewers also wanted to stop the police." Valentine said, "There are many respected medical professors inside, saying they want to go to the dismemberment scene with the police."
"The result was that they found that the state of the body was completely inconsistent with the crime process and crime time described by the police, and at that time I clearly had a full alibi."
"I told the police that if it were me, the dismemberment wouldn't be done so roughly, so I demonstrated to them how I would dismember the body finely enough, and the professors even applauded for me."
"The oldest one, Professor Hollis, said he would call the state legislature. He couldn't sit by and watch this group of violent law enforcement police pin a murder case on such a talent with full of loopholes."
"But in fact, if they went to my house to check my refrigerator, they would find that there is more than one arm there."
Jonathan looked Shiler up and down and said, "Your human skin is the most perfect among us. I don't believe you wouldn't give them some color to see."
Shiler leaned back, revealing a reserved smile, but Jonathan and Valentine unexpectedly saw the cruelty and indifference revealed in the only tiny gap of this perfect human skin in his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 2554 =====
