American manga: Justice begins in Gotham

Chapter 24 Rachel, you have fallen

in a few days

Police station

"Rachel, Rachel, are you even listening to me?"

A beautiful blonde policewoman stretched out her little hand and shook it in front of Rachel.

"Huh? I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

Rachel came back to her senses and asked with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"Who are you thinking about? Your boyfriend?"

Alice, the blonde policewoman, asked curiously.

Alice is Rachel's best friend, and both are in the police force.

However, Alice works more in clerical jobs and rarely goes out to handle cases, so her skin is whiter, like milk.

"Who, who is thinking about her boyfriend?"

"I already have a boyfriend, okay."

Lu Zhengyi's face flashed in Rachel's mind, and her face turned red.

Yes, she had been thinking about Lu Zhengyi just now.

Obviously that guy looks like an ordinary Asian young man, about [-] years old.

Although he looks a bit gentle and handsome.

But no matter how you look at it, he is not the guy who did such crazy things.

"Oh~ Our police beauty has a new love."

"Did you dump that prosecutor boyfriend?"

Alice asked with an envious smile.

"Stop talking about him."

"What happened to that case?"

At the mention of Harvey, Rachel's face suddenly dimmed and she changed the topic casually.

"The man has been caught, and his fingerprints are on the murder weapon."

"Based on the evidence, he happened to be present at the scene of the crime and had a history of domestic violence."

"It's probably because he was killed and didn't run away."

Alice's face turned serious when she talked about the case.

They are investigating a murder case.

A young woman, only 30 years old, was found dead at home.

Her husband, however, was found to have fingerprints on the murder weapon and happened to be at the scene of the crime, but escaped again.

At this point, it is basically 99% certain that he is the one who killed him.

Rachel took the file handed over by the other party.

In the photo, there is a middle-aged man with a beard, a ferocious face, and a muscular body.

He also has a record of multiple domestic violence cases and suffers from mania.

Judging from Rachel's experience in handling cases in the past few years, she also felt that he must have done it.

But for some reason, Lu Zhengyi’s face came to mind:

'What if I tell you that you are wrong? '

The scene of the little girl crying and being shot, and the scene of Milo dying unjustly, kept flashing in his mind.

"Besides the murder weapon, is there anything else at the scene?"

Rachel suddenly asked.

"Found some letters in the closet."

"It's all here, it's irrelevant."

Alice took out a stack of channels.

Rachel opened it and took a look:

"I'm sorry, wife, I did it again, please forgive me..."

"Why do you always go to that guy? You clearly know that guy has no good intentions towards you!"

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit him, please forgive me!"

Words like this appear repeatedly in many letters.

One person's name was mentioned - Cyril.

It seems that Cyril is his love rival.

The husband's name is Guy.

"This person named Cyril is the lover of the deceased?"

"Correct."

"Have you ever investigated him?"

"He was drinking in a bar on the night of the incident."

"Is there anyone who can testify?"

"No, you mean, it was the lover who committed the crime?"

"Go and investigate and see his consumption records."

"Okay, okay."

Alice glanced at Rachel strangely and immediately ran to check.

A few minutes later, Alice ran back with a strange look on her face and said:

"No consumption records for that night were found."

"However, surveillance showed that his car appeared on the street near the deceased three and 10 minutes before the incident."

Rachel took a deep breath and calmly analyzed:

"Generally speaking, it is impossible for the murderer to leave such conspicuous evidence as fingerprints on the murder weapon."

“Invite Cyril back to investigate immediately!”

Half a day later, at eight o'clock in the evening

police station door

"Thank you, female officer."

"If it weren't for you, I would be in court."

Guy said with gratitude on his face.

Just now, Cyril confessed everything.

It was Cyril who killed the man because the deceased wanted to marry Cyril.

But Cyril just wanted to play for fun. Unexpectedly, the deceased became serious and fell madly in love with him.

He was afraid of being entangled, so he took cruel measures.

Poor Guy was almost made the scapegoat.

"You're welcome, please go home quickly."

Rachel smiled.

"You're amazing, Rachel!"

"How do you know he is not the murderer?"

Alice asked looking at her with admiration.

"Awesome, Captain Rachel!"

"Yes, yes, tell me quickly, how did you find out?"

The policemen all around also complimented him.

"Because I was thinking that things might not be that simple, so I asked Alice to investigate."

"Sure enough, the real bad guys will not appear on the surface."

For some reason, Lu Zhengyi's handsome face reappeared in Rachel's mind.

If it weren't for what he said a few days ago, I probably would have really wronged Guy.

"Justice is really not that simple."

Rachel said with emotion.

Looking at Gotham shrouded in darkness, a sense of uneasiness emerged in my heart.

Beep beep!

The phone suddenly rang. It was Harvey Dent’s call:

"Rachel, you've fallen."

"You actually let go a murderer who killed his wife!"

"The criminals you police let go will be executed by me!"

"No! Harvey, he's innocent!"

Beep!

A busy tone came from the phone.

"What's wrong, Rachel, do you need help?"

Alice asked looking at her worriedly.

"No, not for now, if I can."

Rachel forced a smile, immediately rushed into the car, and drove towards Guy's house like flying.

the other side

Guy's Apartment

Guy sat on the sofa, looked at the empty home, and sighed softly.

"What's the matter, dear Guy?"

"Do you feel guilty after killing someone?"

A figure wearing a windbreaker suddenly appeared from behind the curtain.

"who are you?"

"Cyril killed the man, you can ask the police!"

Guy stood up suddenly and looked at the visitor warily.

"Hahaha, you're just trying to fool those bullshit police with your nonsense."

"Do you think I don't know that you are having a lively chat with a female college student online?"

The visitor suddenly opened his windbreaker, revealing a face that was half angel, half devil.

Harvey Dent!

"How do you know? You are the devil!"

Guy's expression changed drastically and he said in horror.

"On the surface, it looks like your wife is cheating on her, but in fact, it's you who fell in love with a young and beautiful female college student, and you send her money every month."

"Your wife couldn't be more angry, so she found a lover."

"And you pretended to be the victim, killed your wife, and framed the blame on your wife's lover."

"Am I right?"

"You're a murderer and a hypocrite who has turned your back on your destiny."

Harvey said coldly, holding a revolver in his left hand and flicking coins in his right hand.

He was like a messenger from hell, holding death in one hand and fate in the other.

"No, it's not like that!"

Guy shook his head hurriedly, trying to explain.

boom!

"Ah! My knees! Why did you shoot me!"

Guy suddenly knelt down and screamed, staring at him in confusion and anger.
