It looked like a more formal occasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only two people in the photo, but the thing they were holding together was particularly eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a medal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke looked at the medal. It was probably a Navy Cross, and the middle-aged man looked familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, he more or less recalled who this person was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did a search on his phone for a moment, and compared the photo with the middle-aged man in the photo. He mumbled, “This guy seems to be doing better than Robert! The Secretary of Defense personally awarded him a medal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke took all the photos and walked around the house before he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that nobody had been in the house for a long time, at least not for a month or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a bunch of notices and ads that had been pushed under the front door. The earliest one was for the day after Robert’s old comrade was admitted to the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luke drove, he couldn’t help but mutter, “Frank Castle, exactly where did you go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was probably Robert’s old friend’s real name. At least, that was the name the man in the house used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned to the lab, he gave all the photos of Frank Castle’s family to Sponge to do a search for leads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he got the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the three medical records from Metropolitan General Hospital and the police department, Luke was absolutely certain that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank Castle and his family were all sent to Metropolitan General Hospital on the night of the shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four of them had been shot, and the time on their medical records was close together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proved that they had probably been attacked when they were together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the files of the hospital and the police, Frank Castle was only listed as “John Doe,” and his injured wife and children weren’t mentioned at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was highly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the victim’s relationships had to be investigated and recorded for future investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very likely that someone had tampered with the hospital and police files and erased a lot of necessary information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke narrowed his eyes and looked at the simple case report and the glaring “John Doe” on the virtual screen. He couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert had personally said he wanted to know how his old friend was doing, and if there was a problem, Luke should do his best to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t want to tell Robert that the man’s family was dead and he was missing. That would definitely be unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only hoped that this Frank was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he could still give Robert an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was one more thing now that Luke needed to pay attention to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this matter couldn’t be rushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a metropolis like New York, which had millions of people, it would take luck to find a person who had disappeared for more than a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with ordinary people, Luke could use his identity as a detective to look for clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, he had a multifaceted A.I. system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were already more than 100,000 cell phone users in New York, and most of them were loyal F2F users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps one day, Frank Castle would appear in the photos and videos they uploaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most reliable method that Luke could think of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Luke and Selina went to Sister Margaret’s bar again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wade informed them that they could get the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Wade was at the front of the bar and talking to the bartender, Weasel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luke and Selina sat down at the bar, the bartender gave them two bottles of Coke with a smile. “On the house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled and threw two bills into the glass jar. “Business is business. I’m a man of principles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned for a moment, Weasel didn’t say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, he felt uneasy when he heard Luke’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wade didn’t waste any time. He simply took out the files and pushed them to Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “How much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Wade raised a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke took out a paper bag from his backpack and pushed it to Wade. “Count it yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he opened the files, then chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wade was too busy counting the money to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weasel, however, asked casually, “What, did you find someone interesting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Yes, he is indeed interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last name on the list which Wade had given to him was actually Darius Kincaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wade probably didn’t know that Luke didn’t just know Kincaid, but had also left him a contact number last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kincaid had left a message for Luke a while ago, saying that Sonia was pregnant and that they were waiting to welcome the birth of a new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t think that an old man in his forties would abandon his pregnant wife and come to New York to cause trouble for the masked “vigilantes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Kincaid never accepted such jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing inwardly, he looked at Wade. “Is the deal done?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wade had finished counting the money and put the paper bag into his chest pocket. He nodded with a smile. “Okay. Weasel, give me a dry martini.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so easy to earn big bucks! Feeling the thick wad of cash against his chest, he was delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke took a sip of his Coke. “Weasel, let us now talk about our last deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Weasel and Wade were stumped. “Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke took out Weasel’s file from his backpack and pushed it forward. “Take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, Weasel accepted it and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wade also leaned over curiously. In less than two seconds, he exclaimed, “What the hell is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people had been stamped in red with “MIssing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina simply enjoyed their Coke and the expressions of the two wretched men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weasel only looked at a few pages before he flipped to the list of killers at the very top. There were more than twenty names on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Luke. “What is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said unhurriedly, “Like I said, I’m a man of principles. So, if you want 20,000, I’ll give you 20,000. I asked you if there were any problems with the information, and you said you were fair in your dealings. What do you think you should do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weasel frowned. “The deal is done. No refunds. If you had any questions, you should have asked them when you got the information. If you think there’s a problem, don’t buy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-06T03:36:06.937Z",1,"novelbin.me","f483716bf6fea2f7230e71d45c7572cc93e0d0677c2796702b4a0233efc425ae","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-941","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-939",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
