A Beautiful Comic Life Beginning with a Killer

Chapter 78 George: You Are King (Fourth update, please subscribe!!!)
"Then what happened?"

"When I was taking Gwen home yesterday, I happened to see the list of items that Lorna left in the car. I thought I had time, so I went to buy them. I usually go there on weekends with Lorna. Purchased."

Hawke answered George's question truthfully.

This is indeed true.

The only difference is that Hawke chose to go there because he saw the blue Ford sedan following him, not just because he saw the list Lorna left in the car.

but……

Indeed, there is such a thing as a list.

Gwen, who was sitting by the side, had a bright eye. Hearing what Hawke said, he immediately testified for Hawke: "There is indeed such a thing, Dad. The list has fallen under the seat, and I found it."

George frowned and asked the next question directly.

"After you came out after shopping, it seemed that you waited for more than three minutes after getting in the car?"

"Hot car."

"Ok?"

George raised an eyebrow.

Counting the insurance, the Audi A8 landed at least [-] to [-]. Need a hot car?
That's not a good reason.

George thought so.

but……

Hawke also had his own reasons: "Detective Stacey, you know, I just got this car from the insurance company less than a month ago. The second-hand car I drove before had a lot of problems. That’s why I bought it at a very cheap price. In the past, the car needed to be warmed up after starting, so I have always maintained this habit.”

This is also true.

The dilapidated second-hand car from before was indeed like this. If you leave the car without warming it up, it will shake and lose your temper at all.

In this matter, Gwen can also provide strong proof for Hawke.

Listening to these two unassailable reasons, George did not speak, but continued to ask the third question.

"After that, where did you drive after you came out of the supermarket?"

"Go home."

Hawke seemed to have figured out what happened yesterday afternoon, and said without thinking: "I went home after buying supplies from the supermarket yesterday. As for whether the blue Ford car came out... "

talking.

Hawk was lost in thought, as if he was recalling something. After working hard to no avail, he could only shake his head in the end, and looked at George regretfully: "Sorry, Detective Stacey, I really can't remember By the way, my car has a driving recorder, if necessary, I can provide it."

"I will."

George said directly: "If necessary."

After finishing speaking, George fell into deep thought.

George trusted his own eyes.

When Hawke spoke just now, George kept watching the expression on Hawke's face and the tone of his speech.

If a person tells a lie, his expression and tone will change to a certain extent.

Maybe slightly.

But if you compare him with when he told the truth, you can definitely find some differences.

Can……

George had been paying attention to Hawke just now, and he didn't find anything wrong with the expression on Hawke's face and the tone of his speech when he was answering the question.

Even if there is a change in expression, it is within the normal range.

For example, when Hawke heard King's name, his expression was as shocked as Gwen's.

Another example is Hawke's expression after hearing the blue Ford sedan following them and the owner's death, still the same as Gwen's, bewildered and shocked at the same time.

So Hawke was telling the truth.

but……

His intuition from the police detective industry for many years told George that there was always something weird here.

But there is something that cannot be said.

Helen, who was sitting by the side, looked at George who was looking down and thinking, and seemed to think of something, and said curiously, "By the way, didn't you say last time that King is probably someone around Jill? Didn't you investigate?"

George shook his head: "Investigated, but there is no clue."

"Jill."

It was the first time for Gwen to hear about this. She was taken aback for a moment, then looked at George and said, "Dad, how could you doubt that King would be by Jill's side? You forgot, King almost killed you and Arthur Uncle Stacey."

I'm afraid it's not that I've lost my mind and gone crazy.

"and……"

While talking, Gwen glanced at Hawke, thinking of what Jill had whispered to her at that time, couldn't help laughing, looked at George and said, "Gill told me, she still doubted Hawke It's King, otherwise, how could King show up before Jill and I showed up to the killer."

Hawke, who thought he had passed the test, heard Gwen's words, and couldn't help but burst out in his heart.

It seemed that George had heard Gwen say this for the first time: "Really, Jill said that?"

Gwen nodded.

next second.

Gwen watched George look at Hawk again, and was speechless. She hugged Hawk's arm and said to George, "Dad, how could Hawk be King? King is a killer and a bad guy. Hawk Not a bad guy."

It's not just because of her girlfriend's status that Gwen said that.

Among them, Gwen said so based on her understanding of Hawke in the past four years.

People who do bad things are bad people.

And Hawke has nothing to do with bad guys.

Gwen still believed in her own vision.

George looked at Gwen holding Hawke's arm, his brows fluttered, Pi smiled and said, "I didn't say I doubted Hawke either."

"Really?"

Gwen's beautiful eyes were slightly bent up, and she looked at George: "But you were like an interrogation just now, you seem to have linked Hawke with King."

"I'm a police officer and I trust the evidence."

George said quickly, then set his eyes on Hawke, and said with a smile: "If I think Hawke is King, I won't be sitting at this dining table, but should be at the police station. What do you say, Hawke?"

I don't know if I'll be sitting in the interrogation room, but I know that if I do, I'll probably beg you not to die.

Hawke thought so, then nodded and said, "I trust Detective Stacy."

George smiled.

after an hour.

This dinner, which looked and talked very special, finally came to an end.

Hawke bid farewell.

Lorna called just now, saying that there seemed to be something shaking in his study, which was scary.

"Wait for me, I'll see you off, Hawke."

"No, I'll deliver it!"

George, who had already walked to the door, said directly to Gwen who hadn't changed his shoes, and then looked at Hawke with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you down, your car, please park it in the parking lot at the intersection .”

Hawke nodded.

"Give."

"..."

After Hawke and George walked out of the apartment building, Hawke looked at a cigarette suddenly handed over by George, didn't speak, just looked at George.

George laughed.

"Don't you smoke?"

"smoke."

Hawk laughed, took the cigarette in George's hand, then looked at George who lit the fire for himself, thanked him, and then moved over with a cigarette in his mouth.

He believed that, probably just now, his resume, including the fake certificate that he didn't hide it and only changed his age, might have been checked by George.

and so……

There's no need to pretend at all.

There is only one way to make up for a lie, and that is to tell a lie. Therefore, if there is no special reason, Hawke will basically choose to tell the truth.

Really.

This is also fundamentally different from the truth.

After George lit Hawk, he immediately lit himself, then pointed in the direction of the parking lot, and said something.

"Let's go."

"it is good."

Hawk responded, and followed George to the parking lot less than 300 meters away from the apartment.

"By the way, you were born in Colorado?"

"Correct."

"But your sister was born in Washington State?"

"Yes."

"Lorna is not your own sister."

"Ah."

Hawke explained: "When I was four years old, I was taken to Seattle by a couple who lied to orphans like us, saying that they were adopted, but in fact they were defrauding state government subsidies. They left me in Seattle. There, I happened to meet Lorna."

George paused: "Sorry, I don't know about it."

Hawk shook his head: "It's okay."

In fact, he ran out by himself. The reason is very simple. He was still young at the time, and the orphanage was a bit weird. Hawke felt the danger, considering his future was promising, and he was not so curious , so I ran away and hitched a ride to Seattle with a kind old couple.

As for the excuses used to explain?

There should not be too many garbage couples who like to say that they are adopting orphans, but in fact they are defrauding state government subsidies. When the subsidies are in hand, they will directly change places, throw the orphan away, and then move on to the next family.

This phenomenon cannot be said to be very common, but it can also be said to be commonplace.

"So, now this name is not your name?"

"You mean Dane?"

"Ah."

"No, that's my last name."

Hawke looked at George, smiled, looked at the surprise flashing across George's face, shrugged and said, "Coincidentally, I was also surprised when I first learned Lorna's surname, it must be a It was a kind of fate, and later the orphanage in Seattle burned down the archives due to a fire, and when it was reorganized later, it was also a coincidence that Lorna and I became a family."

George nodded, it was hard not to agree: "This is indeed a coincidence."

As long as one of them is missing, such a coincidence will not stand.

What a coincidence.

but……

George read the information.

Even if this matter is man-made, it is unlikely to be Hawke and Lorna. After all, can a four-year-old child see such a meticulous and flawless matter?

Not only do you have to burn the data archives, but you also need to know how to manipulate people's hearts, so that the person who records the data is really so sloppy and careless when entering the data.

Therefore, although this is a coincidence, George prefers that it should be a true coincidence. After all, anyone who sees children with the same surname who are together will subconsciously think that they are brothers and sisters.

In fact...

This is indeed a coincidence.

It's just that unlike ordinary people who choose to explain, Hawke and Lorna did not choose to explain at that time.

George then asked curiously, "Then, why did you go to Los Angeles, California?"

Hawk shrugged with a smile: "Lorna wanted to see the sea, I read magazines at the time, the sea in Los Angeles is the most beautiful, and to be honest, the orphanage there is better than the orphanage in Seattle. "

This is also true.

Los Angeles is close to Hollywood and is very developed. Moreover, there are quite a few orphans there, and there are even many orphans who are said to be abandoned after the birth of certain female stars.

"What about Texas?"

"At that time, there were travelers who said that there was a family named Dane near their house. Lorna wanted to go and see if they were her biological parents."

"Indiana?"

"It turned out that it wasn't. The company planned to sell Lorna and me abroad. On the way, we found an opportunity and jumped off the bus."

"Didn't call the police?"

"Who would believe a child who was only six or seven years old?"

"……Michigan?"

"..."

Hawke heard George mentioning this place, stopped and thought for a while, then came back to his senses, looked at George, shrugged and said, "Forgot."

George smiled: "I know where I went when I was six or seven years old. When I was eight or nine years old, I forgot why I went there?"

Hawk also smiled and said: "Because there is nothing worth remembering, but it may be because I don't live in one place for a long time, so I moved out of habit, and Lorna and I don't have many things, we just leave It's easy too."

George nodded, temporarily accepting Hawke's explanation.

Also at this time.

The parking lot is here.

Under George's gaze, Hawk unlocked the car door, but instead of sitting in it, he bent down, took out his backpack from the driver's seat, and closed the car door again.

George looked at Hawk who closed the car door and walked towards him again, and smiled and said, "Aren't you going to drive?"

Hawk stopped in front of George, and looked at George curiously: "Detective Stacey, tell me, does this count as fishing law enforcement?"

A smile appeared on George's face: "Fishing law enforcement?"

Hawke said, "I've been drinking, Detective Stacy."

Do not drink while driving.

Drink and don't drive.

This is the law.

Hearing Hawke's words, George laughed and patted his forehead, as if he just remembered: "God, I forgot. Fortunately, I drank too much just now."

Hawke didn't speak.

Drink too much?

You only drank less than one or two in total, and I killed that bottle.

Hawke thought so, but he didn't take this matter to heart. Instead, he walked to the side of the road and waved towards a taxi that appeared in the distance and just happened to be empty.

soon.

The taxi stopped on the side of the road.

Hawke turned to look at George: "Nice to meet you, Detective Stacey, goodbye."

George smiled and watched Hawke who was about to get in the car, at the moment when Hawke was about to open the door and get in the car.

"Wait a moment."

"..."

Hawk turned around and looked at George: "Is there anything else? Detective Stacey."

George walked up to Hawke and looked into Hawke's eyes: "So, you haven't said whether you are King yet."

Hawke: "..."
