Chapter 40: Once Upon a Time
With his back against the metal trash can, Daredevil panted.

He no longer had the strength to fight. Every breath he took caused him to feel piercing pain in his internal organs, and he almost fainted several times.

But Daredevil still persisted, supported by an amazing willpower, preventing him from falling.

Because he had one last question.

He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes fixed on the killer in front of him, and spoke in a hoarse but firm voice.

"Why...why are you doing this?"

"why?"

I just received a text message on my mobile phone reminding me that my employer has prepared the wages and placed them at the designated location.

Tommy was in a good mood and was happy to talk to Daredevil.

“Killing is just my job. People die every day in this world. It’s no big deal. Just keep a normal mind.

Besides, the dead were not good people either. They were unscrupulous drug dealers, pimps who forced women of good character into prostitution, and gang leaders who brought disaster to the local area.

By doing this, I can be regarded as getting rid of harm for the people.”

These words left Daredevil speechless.

Indeed, although Tommy seemed fierce for killing three people in one night, he did not harm any innocent civilians.

Apart from the excessive commotion they caused in the bar, they behaved relatively properly.

Especially compared to his former rival Bullseye, Tommy is simply a great guy.

Moreover, as the defense attorney in this case, Daredevil certainly knows what kind of people those witnesses are.

Although they now seem to have turned over a new leaf and testified in court, this cannot erase the crimes they committed in the past.

Daredevil knows this very well, and he is working hard for it.

However, he did not want to solve the problem with violence. Instead, he planned to collect evidence of the three people's crimes, hand them over to the procuratorate, and use the weapon of law to carry out a fair trial.

"law?"

Tommy smiled when he heard the philosophy Daredevil presented.

"So, are you planning to persuade me to follow your example and put the criminals in jail with my bare hands, and then wait for the day in the future when the freed criminals come out to commit evil again and hurt more people?"

Daredevil opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say.

But Tommy didn't give him such a chance. He stretched out his arm, lifted the dying Daredevil above his head, and then said.

"I know I'm not a good person, Daredevil, but what you're doing is another form of connivance with criminals, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he raised his right leg, then suddenly exerted force with both arms and smashed it hard on Daredevil's spine.

In an instant, the sound of breaking bones filled the entire alley.

In the dim moonlight, a rag-like body was curled up in the alley.

Daredevil was completely devastated.

Tommy ultimately failed to kill Daredevil.

But he left Daredevil with irreparable trauma.

It's not that he is soft-hearted, but he is well aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Injuring Daredevil is one thing, but if you actually kill him, you're cutting off your own escape route and placing yourself in the enemy camp.

The current scale is just right.

It's normal for superheroes to have conflicts with each other.

Captain America and Iron Man have led people to fight in group fights, but when foreign enemies invade, everyone is happy and the whole family is reunited.

So, as long as the person is not dead, there is a chance to save the situation.

Tommy isn't worried about letting the tiger go back to the mountains.

Not to mention whether Daredevil’s injuries can be recovered, even if a miracle happens, it’s no big deal.

If Tommy can defeat someone once, he will do it a second time, a third time, a fourth time...

Moreover, he will not stand still, his strength will continue to rise, and the gap between him and Daredevil will become wider and wider, making it difficult for the other party to catch up. He doesn't even need to do it himself.

There is a saying that goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If Daredevil was determined to cause trouble for him, he could just use a borrowed knife to kill someone else and reveal Daredevil's true identity directly to Wilson Fisk, the famous New York crime lord Kingpin.

I believe that the ruthless guy will be happy to do the job for him when he finds out that Daredevil is Matt Murdock.

Without Daredevil as a sticky candy, Tommy returned home smoothly.

In the living room, Jin was still sleeping soundly on the sofa.

The trap he set in the bedroom was not triggered.

"That's good."

Although there was a small incident in the middle, a wild Daredevil came up to disrupt the situation.

But Tommy thought he handled it well, at least he managed to get rid of the suspicion.

The only possible flaw is whether there is any surveillance video in the bar.

However, Tommy had already considered this.

As early as in the afternoon when he was scouting the place, he deliberately wandered around the bar and roughly understood the location of the surveillance cameras.

Therefore, when he fired the gun just now, he deliberately stood in the blind spot of the surveillance camera to avoid being discovered his movements as much as possible.

The dim lights in the bar and the mask on his face also helped to hide his identity well.

There is one thing Tommy still doesn't know.

In order to attract Daredevil, he deliberately left his pistol behind.

It was also because of this pistol that Daredevil was mistakenly identified as the "real murderer" by the FBI.

To be honest, the FBI may not really believe that Daredevil is the murderer.

But sometimes, it doesn’t matter who the murderer is, what matters most is whether there is a murderer.

With Daredevil as the murderer, everyone can report to their superiors.

Then fill in the evidence around this goal.

As long as there is sufficient "evidence" in the end, the story is reasonable, and it is well-made, then even if it is not the truth, it will become the truth in the end.

Moreover, compared to the killer's identity as an ordinary person, people are more willing to believe that this was done by Daredevil.

At the same time, the FBI can take this opportunity to raise the theory that masked vigilantes are dangerous and ask for more funding from their superiors.

As for where the funds will be used after they are received?

Well, that's another story.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the drama had come to an end.

Except for Daredevil and the three unlucky guys, everyone got a satisfying ending.

……

Time comes the next day.

The Daredevil killings have made the front page of the Daily Bugle.

When police arrived at the scene, all three witnesses were pronounced dead.

According to information revealed by the New York Police Department, they have confirmed with certainty that Daredevil is the real murderer of this serial murder case.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation.

Many people have paid attention to this, but there has been no follow-up progress.

As time went by and Daredevil no longer appeared, this sensational news slowly sank to the bottom and was no longer noticed.

Only those who really care, or hate Daredevil, still care and think about an important question.

"Daredevil, where the hell is he?"
