Chapter 36 Gunfire
After inspecting the scene, Matt flew downstairs, walked to the public telephone booth on the roadside, and informed the police of everything that had happened there.

After making the call, Matt did not stay for long. Instead, he left the place before the police arrived, aiming at a dark and deep alley nearby and dived into it.

The court hearing will begin in a few days.

At this critical moment, an important witness was assassinated.

Things like this couldn't help but make Matt think of more.

Moreover, in the call he just made, Matt heard the background voice of the police station saying that a shooting had also occurred on a nearby street.

After hearing this, Matt's face turned gloomy.

If his memory was correct, the place mentioned in the phone call just now was exactly where the other witness was!

Two shootings occurred in one night, and the victims were all witnesses who were about to appear in court to defend the defendant.

Matt immediately concluded that this was a murder committed by a criminal group.

Thinking of this, he quickly put away his crutches and took off his slightly cumbersome coat, revealing the bright red uniform underneath.

What was about to happen was no longer something lawyer Matt Murdoch could handle.

Now, it's the turn of the fearless!
……

after a while.

The sirens of police cars roared towards them.

The Forensic Science Division investigated the scene, while the rest of the police set up a cordon to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

"One shot to the head, right between the eyebrows, what a beautiful shooting skill!"

The forensic doctor examined the body and was amazed at the murderer's method.

This was originally just a subconscious and unintentional remark from him, but he didn't expect that after the voice was heard, it immediately attracted the attention of a policeman at the scene.

"Why, why do I always feel so familiar?"

Jill Valentine quickly walked over to the body and squatted down to examine it carefully.

Lincoln, who was on the ground with a lot of imagination, inexplicably gave her a familiar feeling.

In order to crack down on domestic mafia forces, the Italian police and the American police reached a cooperation and launched a joint law enforcement operation.

Both sides sent police to patrol and enforce the law on each other's territories.

This is why Jill Valentine came to New York.

Before coming, Jill was very excited, thinking that her hard work had paid off and that she had been noticed by her superiors, which gave her this valuable exchange opportunity.

She is ready to make a big splash in America to live up to the expectations of her superiors.

But after arriving in New York, Jill found that things were completely different from what she had imagined.

Joint law enforcement sounds good, but in reality it is just a lot of noise with little action.

The slogans sounded loud, but when it came to execution, they were greatly discounted.

From the beginning to the end, only some small-time thieves were caught.

As for the heads of those big families, not even a hair of them was seen.

This gave Jill, who had been doing nothing, an illusion.

Is she here to work or to travel?
Jill couldn't explain it either.

But tonight was different. She finally encountered a real case and had the opportunity to show her skills.

According to the on-site forensic investigation report, only one bullet casing was found at the scene.

In other words, the attacker only fired one shot to kill his target.

This shows how confident he is in his marksmanship! Jill listened to this and suddenly memories came to his mind.

Three years ago, it was also at night.

When she participated in her first arrest operation, she encountered a terrifying gunman who single-handedly eliminated more than 20 people in the ambush.

The gunman's shooting method was almost exactly the same as what she encountered today.

One bullet took a life, and it hit him right in the middle of the eyebrows.

It would be fine if there were only one or two similar features, but when so many coincidences are added together, things might not be that simple.

However, Jill couldn't really confirm that the killer who committed the crime today was the person she remembered.

After all, according to Italian laws and regulations, Tommy Vercetti should be on parole now, restricted to Italy and it is impossible for him to come to New York.

However, just in case, she still called her most trusted former boss and asked about Tommy.

"What the hell!"

Far away in Italy, Hank slowly lifted the quilt, cursing and in a very bad mood.

As we age, our sleep quality deteriorates.

He finally fell asleep, but before long, he was suddenly awakened by a phone call.

No one can tolerate this kind of situation.

No wonder Hank's face is so long and full of unhappiness now.

However, after he answered the phone and listened to Jill's entire request, his expression changed again, slowly becoming filled with solemnity.

Jill asked him to help investigate Tommy Vercetti.

Most importantly, is it clear whether Tommy is staying in Italy or going somewhere else?
Hank had no intention of agreeing to Jill's request.

He has been retired for three years and has long stopped caring about the mess in the police station.

Now, he just wants to take his pension and spend his old age in peace.

Therefore, Hank refused at the first opportunity.

But considering their past friendship and Jill's repeated requests, Hank had no choice but to agree in the end.

However, he also said directly that this would take some time.

There is a six or seven hour time difference between New York and Italy.

It was evening in New York, but here in Italy it was still dark, let alone work.

Jill understood and thanked Hank profusely on the phone.

However, what Jill would never have expected was that she had just hung up the phone.

Hank on the other end of the phone called someone else.

"Hello, Attorney Ken Luxemburg, there is something you might want to know..."

That’s right, what Hank is doing now is to tip off Ken and explain everything that happened on the phone with Jill.

The person on the other end of the phone told him to relax. The family dared to send Tommy abroad during the parole period, so they must have made all the necessary preparations and even found a substitute. They were not afraid of being investigated.

What's more, in a few days, this substitute will die in a car accident, creating the illusion of Tommy's death, in order to deceive the Italian judicial authorities and allow Tommy to have complete freedom.

In a capitalist country, as long as there is enough money, nothing is impossible.

With the promotion of capitalists, people in their seventies and eighties can still become president and lead hundreds of millions of American people.

What does it matter if you just forge a new identity?
