A Beautiful Comic Life Beginning with a Killer

Chapter 77 George at the Showdown ([-]rd update, please subscribe!!!)

George obviously did not expect such an answer.

"is it?"

"of course."

There was always a shy smile on Hawke's face, as if the son-in-law was seeing the old man for the first time, nodded and said: "We often practice guns in the shooting range over the Brooklyn Cemetery, Mr. Stacey should also like guns, maybe this Weeks we can go together, and I'm sure the neighbors will be delighted to see a detective join us."

George raised an eyebrow.

For some reason, he suddenly had the illusion of [I found a flaw, but instead of surrendering, the enemy provoked him].

Is it an illusion?

George watched the smile on Hawke's face, trying to find the slightest flaw on Hawke's face by relying on his rich experience in the police industry for so many years.

even.

Already in his heart, George began to compare the Hawke in front of him with the few photos of the killer King.

do not know why.

Suddenly, George had a feeling that he seemed to have found King.

height……

figure……

picture!

clothing……

Like.

face...

George was not sure, after all, when King appeared, he was wearing sunglasses.

but……

George seemed to think of something, got up, and after a while, rummaged through the TV in the living room, then walked over, and handed the sunglasses in his hand to Hawke: "Take me to see."

Hawk was taken aback for a moment, and looked at George with an expression of confusion written on his face.

Gwen next to him couldn't stand it anymore.

Get up.

Gwen snatched the sunglasses that Hawk had just taken over, glanced at her father George speechlessly, and then called for help off the court to Helen who was tidying up her tail in the kitchen: "Mom, come quickly!" , Dad doesn’t know what he’s doing anymore.”

Helen heard Gwen's call for help, and walked from the kitchen to the dining room.

into the eye.

Helen saw George standing in front of Hawk, and then saw the sunglasses in Gwen's hand. Although she didn't know what happened, she knew her husband George.

The kind you know very well.

Helen stood by Gwen's side and looked at George speechlessly: "Why, Detective Stacey found out that Hawke has no family, so he put the idea on Hawke himself?"

The corner of George's mouth twitched: "I'm not..."

He just wanted Hawk to try it with sunglasses on.

just try it.

That's it.

At most, if Hawk looks alike after wearing sunglasses, then you can proceed to the next step, arresting, detaining, interrogating...

Helen interrupted directly: "Detective Stacey, I want to work, go to the police station, this is home, and I invited Hawke over today to thank Hawke for helping us in the past two weeks ,do you understand?"

If he really is King, this is the guy who put me in the hospital.

George really wanted to say that, but seeing Helen's stern gaze, he opened his mouth, finally chose Congxin, and nodded: "Understood."

Only then did Helen show a smile in satisfaction: "Okay, let's eat."

Gwen put the sunglasses directly into his pocket.

George, who returned to his seat, saw that he had also become the tiger in his seat. George, like a monkey, did not dare to be the overlord.

but……

George looked at Hawke who didn't say "it's okay, it's okay to try" just now. The more he looked, the more he felt that Hawke, who was originally handsome at first glance, looked more and more like King with a hideous face.

Especially when George saw the appearance of getting up and holding the dinner plate, and being more and more flattering to Helen, he felt even more disgusting.

"correct!"

George raised his eyebrows and said, "Where's my wine?"

talking.

George got up, walked to the door, his eyes lit up, he said he found it, and then took out a bottle of cheap bourbon worth nine dollars a bottle from the bag he brought back.

Although this bottle of bourbon is very cheap, it also belongs to the Thunder brand.

When George left the Aldi supermarket chain, he bought a bottle of the same type as the case of bourbon that Hawke bought in the surveillance.

next second.

George came over grabbing two wine glasses.

"Bourbon?"

Helen looked at the bourbon that George took out, frowned and said, "Don't you like to drink Scotch whiskey? When did you change your taste?"

Gwen and Hawk also looked up.

Hawke's heart moved, and he always felt that something was weird.

"Let's change the taste."

George laughed casually, then opened the bourbon and looked at Hawke: "Hawk, would you like a drink?"

Gwen was speechless: "Dad."

Helen also raised her eyebrows: "Hawk is only 17 years old."

George chuckled, didn't speak, but looked at Hawke: "I happened to go to the Aldi supermarket over the Jersey City Bridge today to investigate a case."

talking.

George pushed the poured glass of wine to the middle of the table, didn't speak, just looked at Hawk.

Hawk raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, under the watchful eyes of Gwen and Helen, he took the glass of bourbon that George had just pushed onto the table: "Thank you."

Gwen stared at Hawk with wide eyes.

Helen also looked a little surprised.

mock up!

Fight with me!
I eat more salt than you eat rice.

There was a smile on George's face, like a monkey that had been slapped by a tiger and won a round at this moment.

Gwen was very surprised: "Hawk, did you drink?"

Although Helen didn't speak, she still stared at Hawke. It seemed that the next answer was related to Helen's standing in line.

After all, underage drinking is bad after all.

Moreover, according to surveys, 90.00% of domestic violence incidents in the federal territory are related to alcoholism.

Hawk also seemed to have reacted from the shocked expression after being discovered his secret, and looked at Gwen with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Only drink when you are stressed."

This is also true.

Killing people is a very stressful job. Every time after the work is done, Hawke will use alcohol to relieve his pressure.

Gwen frowned: "It's stressful, how can you be so stressed, you..."

Speaking of it.

Gwen stopped talking, and seemed to think of something.

next second.

Gwen immediately glared at her father George: "Dad, do you know how difficult it has been for Hawke these years, so are you going to arrest Hawke just because Hawke is under the age of 21 for drinking?"

Helen seemed to have thought of something, and although she wasn't as angry as Gwen, she looked at Hawke with sympathy and understanding, and then looked at her husband George with "I'm already very dissatisfied" .

George was dumbfounded.

Wait a moment.

what's going on.

He's underage drinking.

He broke the law.

The reason for Gwen and Helen's sudden change in attitude is simple.

Hawke is an orphan.

Moreover, he was an orphan with his younger sister living alone in this huge New York City.

The most important thing!
Hawke led his younger sister to live alone in New York City. He was not different from those orphans who still had foster families, but still lived a very poor life and once became social moths.

Both Hawke and Lorna attend academically focused midtown high schools.

think about it.

Hawke is only 17 years old now, and he is still a child. Such a child can pull his sister to live in New York, and has not abandoned his studies. Just thinking about it is so simple, one can imagine that after so many years, Hawke How much suffering did Ke suffer?

It is even conceivable how much pressure Hawke has endured all these years by himself.

Because of the pressure, I choose to drink alcohol.

Put it on any other 21-year-old boy, maybe this could be a lie for drinking.

But Hawke?
Gwen and Helen listened to Hawke's explanation without defending herself, but just went there so gently, imagining the scenes of Hawke pulling Lorna over the years, they would feel their scalps go numb.

and so……

Why can't you drink alcohol?
After glaring at her father George, Gwen looked at Hawke with eyes that were about to melt, and then, regardless of whether her father was watching or not, she reached out and interlocked Hawke's five fingers.

Helen also admired Hawke because she was more polite than before when she saw Hawke enter the door. At this moment, she looked at Hawke with even more appreciative eyes.

An orphan who was able to grow up with his younger sister in New York City without being crooked, from this point of view, Hawke himself is a potential stock.

How about a drink.

The pressure is so high, why don't others drink to release the pressure? Do you have to wait for the pressure that is so heavy that you can't breathe to overwhelm everyone?

Helen gave her husband George a red card warning look, then smiled and took away the lemon bass that belonged to George from Hawke's dinner plate: "Good boy, eat more."

Hawk quickly thanked: "Thank you, ma'am."

Helen said with a straight face, "Call me Helen."

Hawk opened his mouth, glanced at Gwen's eyes, then ignored George, whose scalp was numb, and nodded kindly towards Helen: "Okay, thank you Helen."

George felt that his celestial cap was about to bulge.

who I am.

where am I.

what's going on.

Why did I throw out this kid's underage drinking king, and you guys didn't react at all?
Not only is there no reaction, but there is even a feeling that you are not ashamed of underage drinking, but proud of underage drinking?

Am I missing something?
George's heart was surging, and after he finished speaking, Helen, the wife who seemed to appreciate Hawke more, opened his mouth, trying to say something?
Helen looked directly at George, with some disappointment in her eyes: "I thought that since you arrested the three parents whose daughter went to elementary school, and after Gwen and you cried for three days, you have changed. I didn't expect ..."

George was numb all over.

Are you standing in line directly?

Helen, this is my home, your home and mine.

Gwen was also holding Hawke's right hand, and looked at George very unhappy: "Dad, you are too much, don't you just want to be friends with me, you have to investigate their family members, it's better now, You see that Hawke is an orphan and has no family, so you investigate Hawke, which is really too much."

George was completely dead.

This is still my daughter.

This is no longer a question of whether the air leakage is serious or not. It must be stuffed with black cotton.

at this time.

Hawk looked at George, who was almost ashamed, thought for a while, pulled his hand out of Gwen's palm, and helped George explain: "It's okay, Gwen, I think Detective Stacey is so There must be his reasons for doing it, if it was my sister, I would investigate like Detective Stacey."

Helen became more and more satisfied with Hawke after hearing this sentence, and looked directly at George, as if saying, look, you are planning to arrest him, but in the end, not only was he not angry, but he was even helping him. say something.

George didn't want to talk anymore.

He seemed to understand.

He lost.

Lost completely.

but……

This is just a private matter, not a business one.

For personal matters, you may be able to judge right and wrong with your feelings.

Can be on official business.

Black is black.

White is white.

This will never change.

George took a deep breath, and after realizing that the path he was walking in was already dark, he changed his style of play, wiped his lips, and talked about the case at home for the first time: "King killed someone again today."

Gwen and Helen were slightly taken aback.

Hawke's expression also changed slightly.

George put the napkin in his hand aside, talked about today's case, then looked at Helen and Gwen and said, "So I didn't investigate Hawk on purpose, but it just so happened that Hawk appeared in the surveillance .”

Helen was slightly taken aback, and looked at George with some concern, "Why do you still investigate King's case?"

After all, the last time George almost went to hell to report, it was King who did it. Naturally, Helen must have been very worried when she heard that George was investigating King's case again.

After hearing George's narration, Gwen glanced at Hawke in surprise, then looked at George and said, "Dad, what do you mean, someone followed us after Hawke and I came out of the hospital, And then the man died, and you suspect King did it, right?"

George nodded.

Gwen said directly suspiciously: "But this is not right. Hawke and I didn't find anyone like King around at all. Believe me, if someone is following me, I will definitely notice."

After all, she is also the daughter of a police family.

This vigilance is still there.

George didn't answer Gwen's question, but looked at Hawke: "Can you tell me, why did you remember to go shopping in Jersey City, and, after you came out of the supermarket, did you notice anything wrong? Case?"

Gwen quickly looked at Hawke.

Under George's three-point questioning and twelve-point scrutiny, Hawke frowned slightly: "I have always gone to the Aldi chain supermarket to buy things, every week, in fact, I didn't I plan to go."

Hawke speaks the truth!
