In North America, you call this a coroner?

Chapter 44 Take action
A detached house somewhere.

Karen looked at the report in his hand, tapping his fingers on the table, and his breath smelled of alcohol.

He's been under a lot of pressure lately.

Colleague Garland disappeared for no reason.

The other party's task was handed over to his own hands.

The key is.

He was not very familiar with his dead colleague Garland. He only knew that Garland had investigated Brian before the accident.

But he wasn't sure whether Brian was the murderer.

for safety.

He first investigated Garland's whereabouts before the accident, and finally found a name in the other party's home: Andres.

After investigation.

Karen discovered that Andres was the murderer of a mysterious death in a case.

coincidentally.

NW had just been formed at that time.

The autopsy work in this case was left to the Medical Examiner's Bureau.

The target, Brian, is a former employee of the Forensic Bureau.

According to work files retrieved by Karen.

At that time, Brian was also involved in the reception process of the deceased Andres!

Karen suspects that there may be a secret hidden between his colleague Garland, the target Brian, and the dead murderer Andres.

So he used a case to test the target.

Based on the attention these days.

The target, Brian, did not make any unnecessary moves.

This is where the pressure comes from for Karen.

According to the reaction of normal people, no matter what the reason is, they will be more or less curious about the note they gave.

But the other party didn't respond.

This made Karen feel uneasy.

Years of investigative experience told him.

This Brian really has a problem!
"FK!"

"This sixth team of Team B has some problems with its members. I really don't understand why Garland, the bastard, picked this Brian!"

"How about changing the target..."

Karen couldn't help but curse.

In fact, he also understood why his colleague Garland chose Brian as his target.

The sixth team previously had four members: coroner Brian, former detective Teddy team-Ivan and Glenn, and retired logistics veteran police officer Old Harden.

Among them, the Teddy group is notorious in the industry. They have high strength and somewhat abnormal brains. They do things regardless of the consequences and are very difficult to mess with.

Old Harden, an old employee who has been in the police system for more than 40 years.

No one wants to know who this old guy knows at the critical moment.

Only Brian seems to be a weakling, and it's best to handle him.

Now it seems.

Something is wrong with this Brian!

Karen closed her eyes in pain.

Can't this sixth group of Team B recruit some normal people?
What kind of tricks are these! ! !

Karen wanted to wince.

It's not that he's afraid of that Brian.

But it feels too tricky.

As an official NW employee, his identity is even more sensitive than his previous identity as a police detective.

Without a handle.

He couldn't use many of his methods.

If this continues, there will be no way to complete the tasks assigned above.

Just at the moment of confusion.

An uneasiness surged in Karen's heart.

His hair stood on end and he turned his head sharply.

Behind.

Under the orange desk lamp, it was empty and dark, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Karen breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at him wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

In his early years, he was actually a figure who emerged from the hail of bullets, otherwise he would not have been able to join the powerful NW Action Team A.

"It seems that I have been too anxious recently."

Karen exhaled the strong smell of alcohol and made up her mind to find the new team leader tomorrow and refuse the other party's task.

There is no absolute certainty.

Don't take any risks.

This was the code of conduct that allowed him to return to Los Angeles from the battlefield alive!
Determined.

Karen slowly stood up and prepared to change clothes and go to bed.

next moment.

A round anesthetic needle, similar to a syringe, shot out from the darkness and accurately hit his neck.

"It's broken." As his consciousness fell into darkness, Karen had his last thought.
"You're quite alert. Could it be a sixth sense?"

Brian, who was bloated and wearing a pig-head mask, slowly walked out of the darkness, kicked the motionless Karen, and gave him a shot of homemade anesthetic with the homemade crossbow in his hand.

This thing is not as effective as medical anesthetics, and the effect is average.

But after two injections, even a strong adult man would have no chance of regaining consciousness within a few hours.

This is the power of professionalism.

Make sure there are no surveillance cameras in the room.

Brian just walked to the table and picked up the report Karen put down.

This is a record sheet.

After reading the above content, Brian felt happy.

Good guy.

During this period of time, the other party has been secretly observing him.

Fortunately, every time he went out to observe Karen's home, he always left the apartment secretly and put on a disguise, which could be regarded as preparation for today's action in advance. Otherwise, he was really afraid that Karen would find something wrong.

"People's hearts are evil!"

"Fortunately, I struck first!"

Brian murmured in his mind and decided to continue to carry forward his style in the future.

As long as he strikes quickly.

Don't be afraid of being shot in the dark!
Clean up the traces left behind when infiltrating.

Brian carried Karen on his shoulders, dropped a thumb-sized pig head sculpture with a bloody appearance on the ground, then went directly to the surveillance camera outside the house, made a gesture of cutting his throat, and then left in a swaggering way, disappearing into the night. .
Three o'clock in the morning.

A familiar suburban cabin.

Brian dug a hole.

This is the place where the Kamo family used to organize family wild hunting and temporarily settle down. The location is very remote and has been abandoned for a long time.

except during legal hunting seasons.

Usually no one comes near here.

Brian dealt with that Li Sen before.

It's here.

It is now used as a temporary garbage disposal site by Brian.

But there are no more than three things.

After this time.

Brian is not ready to continue coming here.

The hole is dug.

Brian directly stripped Karen, who was about to wake up, of her clothes and threw her into a pit.

Do it all.

He took out a plastic bucket filled with densely packed ferocious snakes and put it aside, waiting for poor Agent Cullen to wake up.

it's here.

Brian sincerely thanked Miss Aina, who practiced medicine illegally.

Although this abnormal lady charges a little rough, her methods are really wild. She can get a lot of things, and she is very strict with her words. The supply is private and worry-free, and she is allowed to serve first and charge later.

Waited for about half an hour.

Karen, who was in a comatose state, finally woke up somewhat dazedly.

He felt that his current state was a little strange.

It is similar to a state of being in a daze after a hangover, but not fully awake yet.

The body is also a little weak.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask for help: "Is there anyone there?"

The words were heard as vague whines in Brian's ears above the pothole.

He wasn't surprised.

This is a normal reaction during recovery from anesthesia.

Actually.

Many people lose their moral integrity the moment they wake up from the operating bed.

Many patients can't say anything when they first wake up.

It is considered the hardest hit area of ​​social death.

About ten minutes passed.

The effect of the inferior anesthetic prepared by Brian completely dissipated.

Karen's consciousness finally returned to consciousness.

This is the time when the moon has retreated, the sun has not risen, and the world is at its darkest.

Karen looked around in horror, but could only vaguely see Brian's blurry figure wearing a pig-head mask above the pothole, like a perverted killer in a horror movie, looking at his prey with interest.

The naked Karen huddled helplessly in the corner of the pit: "No matter what your purpose is, I will cooperate."

Brian:
Before I take action, you compromise.

Are you somewhat disrespectful of the snake feast I prepared for you?
Brian lost interest and had no choice but to take off the pig head mask on his head: "Agent Cullen, I'm curious, why do you and your colleague Garland keep causing trouble for me?"

When Karen heard this familiar voice, despair flashed in her eyes.

The person who killed Garland was really Brian!

I am dead!
