Mercenary’s War Chapter 2059 - 2036: I Want a Promotion!

The FBI isn’t the police, but sotis they’re not too different. They don’t always handle major cases, but if there’s a cross-state cri in Arica, the FBI is definitely the one taking over.

Gao Yang had a bit of understanding about the FBI’s jurisdiction, so he laughed and said, "Is it a cross-state fleeing cri?"

Murphy glanced at Gao Yang, displeased, and said, "If you knew what that damned bastard did, you wouldn’t be laughing."

Gao Yang awkwardly put away his smile and asked, "What did he do?"

Murphy sighed, spat on the ground with a gloomy face, and then said sternly, "Eight years ago, there were two murders in Los Angeles in three days. The victims were all won, strangled from behind with a rope, dying of suffocation. A rope was found at the cri scene, and since the thods were the sa, it was concluded to be the work of the sa person."

Gao Yang said in surprise, "Eight years ago?"

Murphy gloomily said again, "We still have cold cases from eighty years ago that are unsolved, are you going to be surprised about that too?"

Gao Yang shrugged, "Go on."

"Four months later, a pile of dismbered bodies was found in a garbage dump in Las Vegas. At first, everyone thought it was an isolated case, but two days later, another pile of dismbered bodies was discovered. After piecing the body parts together, it was found that the victims had been strangled from behind with a rope before being dismbered, similar to the Los Angeles cases, so the cases were rged.

Half a year later, two dismbernt murders occurred in Salt Lake City, and half a year after that, two more cases happened in Denver within four days. Five months later in Kansas City, there were two consecutive dismbernt murders, and half a year later in Chicago, another two occurred."

Gao Yang frowned and whispered, "Heading east all the way, and every ti two people are killed. This psycho is very consistent."

Murphy sighed helplessly and said, "A year later, the sa kind of murder occurred again in Detroit with the sa thod and similar victims, but this ti it was a little different."

"How was it different?"

"The killer didn’t dispose of the body but left a pile of dismbered bodies at the cri scene, and there was a ssage left on the wall, written in the victim’s blood."

Gao Yang frowned and whispered, "That psycho killer is getting more and more arrogant. It’s normal. He’s starting to provoke you, right?"

Murphy spread his hands helplessly, "Yes, exactly right, he wrote a line, ’To the idiots at the FBI, you’ll never find .’

Gao Yang said wryly, "Oh, indeed."

Murphy lit another cigarette and said dejectedly, "You can imagine how angry my colleagues are, but they still can’t catch him, not even a lead. You know that hellhole Detroit, though everyone swore to catch that bastard, but two days later, another dismbernt murder occurred. After that, the psycho seed to have laid low for a while, but a year ago, he struck again in Philadelphia, killed two people, and left the sa provoking words."

Murphy spread his hands, looking extrely frustrated, "Yesterday, the murder finally reached New York. That psycho has escalated. He said he’d kill soone in Brooklyn District today to show us."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Starting to slap you in the face."

Murphy shrugged helplessly and said, "I must catch him. If I catch that bastard, I’ll get promoted, that’s certain. We suspect he’s around here, so I ordered a lockdown, but it seems he’ll escape us once again."

Gao Yang curiously asked, "I don’t quite understand the case-solving business, but since you have him cornered, how can he still run away?"

Murphy gestured and said with a bitter smile, "There are about thirty thousand people in this community, and our lead is that the suspect is small, limited in strength, and about five foot seven, weighing around one hundred and twenty pounds. Should I round up everyone in this area who fits that description?"

Gao Yang instinctively glanced at Number Thirteen. Number Thirteen exchanged a look with Gao Yang, then suddenly gave a sinister smile and stuck his tongue out at Gao Yang, giving him a fright.

Murphy weakly waved a hand and said feebly, "They’re all psychos, but Number Thirteen has a different way of being psycho than that one."

Gao Yang coughed lightly, apologetically, "Don’t put it so bluntly. I was just looking around."

Murphy sighed, frustration written all over his face, "We started the sweep here yesterday. Soon, I’ll have to report to my superiors why I failed to catch that psycho. Damn it, I hate the feeling of failure."

Gao Yang shrugged, "I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful."

Murphy waved his hand, "I didn’t expect you to help. I’m just busy, so I arranged to et you here. All right, quickly help contact those people, I’m waiting for a reply. You guys can go now, goodbye."

Number Thirteen whispered, "I’ll ride back with you."

Gao Yang and Number Thirteen headed towards Gao Yang’s car, while Murphy dejectedly tossed his cigarette butt away and was about to get in his car. At that mont, as Number Thirteen reached for the door handle, he suddenly stopped.

Gao Yang looked at Number Thirteen, then turned to look back and laughed, "Are you interested in a beauty?"

A stylishly dressed and beautiful woman carrying a bag was walking over to Gao Yang and the others from across the street, coming from the sidewalk.

Number Thirteen straightened up, smiling, "Lucky ! Hey, Murphy, the psycho you’re looking for is right here."

Murphy, half inside the car, imdiately got out again upon hearing Number Thirteen’s shout. He took a glance and said to Number Thirteen unhappily, "Don’t joke around. We’re looking for a man. The victims were all assaulted post-mortem, so it can’t be done by a woman."

Number Thirteen shrugged, "It’s her! Don’t regret it."

Murphy looked once more and shook his head, "Don’t doubt my eyes, buddy. I climbed up the ranks in the FBI to get this position—that’s a woman! Not a man disguised as a woman!"

Gao Yang also whispered, "Hey, where do you get the confidence to point at a passerby and say she’s a psycho killer?"

Number Thirteen smiled, "A fellow psycho killer’s intuition. You don’t believe ? Just wait and see."

Number Thirteen walked toward the woman, while Murphy, still sowhat skeptical, shouted, "Ma’am, stop and submit to an inspection."

The woman stopped, looking bewildered at Number Thirteen, then looked at Murphy and Gao Yang. Seeing Number Thirteen was less than five ters away, she suddenly turned and started running.

Number Thirteen turned his head and smiled, "I don’t feel like chasing."

Gao Yang drew his gun, and Murphy also drew his before tossing it over to Gao Yang, exclaiming excitedly, "Use my gun, just don’t kill her. I want that promotion!"

Gao Yang caught Murphy’s gun with his left hand, focused, and fired a shot at the fleeing woman. Then he took two steps forward, placed the gun back in Murphy’s hand, and smiled, "Go collect your credit."
