"You are the most dedicated special agent I have ever met."

"

"Thank you. I wouldn't dare say I've been completely dedicated, but I will always uphold the bottom line of this profession."

“I went to see that woman only for work purposes. I had absolutely no personal grudge against her. Do you think I had a motive to kill her?”

“No,” said the owl.

"Then why don't you believe me?"

"We police officers need evidence," said "Owl."

The more Leon listened, the colder he felt, as if he really had done it.

"Owl" continued, "If it were any other woman, she would probably have cowered in fear at the sight of a blade. But this woman is different. Perhaps she really has madness in her blood!"

"Not only was he not intimidated, but he also scratched and bit you, leaving scratches and bite marks on your face and arms. Your skin fibers were left under his fingernails and in his mouth, thus providing irrefutable evidence in this murder case..."

Chapter 977 Never to Rise Again

Leon abruptly interrupted "Owl," coldly saying, "The rest of the process... shouldn't I confess voluntarily?"

"The fierce fight made me completely lose my mind. I used the pancake as a weapon to threaten him with the dagger, and plunged it deep into his abdomen..."

The owl let out a long sigh. "You finally admit it."

Leon's hands trembled with rage. He roared, "What did I admit to?"

"Yes!" the owl said without hesitation. "There are your fingerprints on the hilt of the dagger, and they are only your fingerprints!"

Leon suddenly jumped up, exclaiming, "What?"

“We extracted fingerprints from the dagger handle at the scene and compared them with your fingerprints. We can confirm that they belong to the same person.”

Leon's mind went blank, and he muttered to himself, "How is this possible? How is this possible?!"

He racked his brains trying to recall if, in any recent period of time, he had ever held a dagger, giving someone the opportunity to frame him.

It can be determined that this possibility does not exist.

Leon finally understood why the detective didn't believe him.

Faced with such irrefutable evidence, no one would have any doubts.

He felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless ice cave.

From muscles to blood, even every single cell was completely frozen.

In the bone-chilling cold, he saw a terrible truth.

No one would believe he wasn't the murderer, because the evidence was overwhelming and irrefutable.

Leon was summoned to the interrogation room once again.

He said, "No one will believe anything I say now, but I am not here to confess, because I did not kill anyone. I was framed, and I am innocent."

When Detective Owl mentioned "framing"?

Leon said, "I suspect there's someone hiding in that woman's room who overheard my conversation with her and is definitely after him."

"That woman changed her mind and called me, and then he killed her."

"It achieved its goal of silencing him, preventing him from revealing the whereabouts of the pterosaurs, while also framing me and ensuring I could never recover!"

"What kind of person is this?" said "Eagle."

"If he has the ability to foresee the future and can predict when you will go to that woman's house, and if he has the ability to kill without touching the ground and leave no trace, does he also have the special ability to steal fingerprints? And at the same time, how can he kill without leaving his own fingerprints?"

Leon fell into complete silence.

Thinking about what happened this time, it's even more unbelievable.

Leon was brought back again.

The supervisor lay on that noisy hard wooden bed, staring blankly at the dark ceiling.

The night was long, seemingly endless, and it felt like dawn would never break. He felt a tightness in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

He seemed like a madman, shouting and yelling without any regard for anything else, but he knew that even if he shouted until his throat was hoarse, it would be of no use.

It was only at this moment that he truly understood the fear, helplessness, grief, and despair of being wrongly accused.

Many things can only be truly felt when experienced firsthand.

He only understands now.

……

In the early morning, he stood blankly in front of the iron bars, gazing at the sky, which was divided into long strips by the fence.

Bugle calls came from outside.

It carries an inspiring and motivating spirit.

Chapter 978 Suppressing Three Thousand Years with One Hand

He went from being a proud S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to a shameful murderer.

Yes, he knew he was innocent and had been framed, but what did it matter?

Even though he won't plead guilty, with a complete chain of evidence, it doesn't matter whether he confesses or not. Becoming a criminal as recognized by the law is a disgrace he cannot accept.

Perhaps if I hadn't been imprisoned, perhaps there would still be a sliver of a chance to turn the tide, but unfortunately, I've already lost my freedom...

The words "escape" suddenly flashed into his mind, startling him. He desperately tried to suppress the thought.

A voice in my head keeps saying, "No, no, absolutely not."

However, once the thought of escaping arose, it spread uncontrollably through his mind like wildfire, making his entire body feel burning hot.

"Why not?" He paced back and forth in the detention cell, two voices arguing fiercely in his mind. One voice eventually overpowered the other, "Why can't we do it? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

That's right, only by escaping can we have a chance and possibly find out the truth.

Although he is now inescapably guilty and unable to defend himself, he is at peace with himself and has no regrets.

He felt he hadn't wronged anyone; he was just unlucky.

Now that he has taken the step of escaping from prison, he himself has to admit to himself that he is a fugitive.

Just as his burning mind was gradually cooling down, a stubborn face appeared in his mind, and he suddenly thought of Xiaoman.

He wanted to escape and clear his name.

Leon knew that he had only overcome the psychological hurdle, and escaping would not be an easy task.

But it has advantages that others do not have.

He knew very well that after the investigation phase, the case would quickly move into the review, prosecution, and trial phases.

Once he's in a detention center or prison, he'll have little chance of escaping, so he has to hurry.

At 1:30 PM, Leon went to the toilet to relieve himself.

The toilet was just a few steps away from the detention cell, around the corner, and a policeman was guarding the door.

After entering the restroom, he took out the key he had hidden beside him and unlocked his handcuffs.

His breathing became rapid; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

He silently said to himself, "I'm sorry."

Where did he strike with lightning speed? The back of the policeman's neck.

The policeman just yelped and then passed out without uttering a sound.

You need to quickly change into that policeman's uniform.

They quickly took the policeman who had been knocked down and hid him in a relatively secluded place.

He walked toward the door with his head down.

He took a few more steps forward, adjusting his breathing as he prepared to make his move.

To his surprise, two police officers came running. They didn't notice him and simply walked past him.

He gasped.

"so close."

The police station's small building, through that gate, leads to the road; freedom is just around the corner.

He took a deep breath; he was about to be free.

He walked very fast.

They quickly stopped a car in the middle of the road.

"I need to apprehend a fugitive and commandeer your car. I hope you can help me," he said to the driver.
