Son of the Beach, Crime Buster
Medical Center.
Anna was naturally stunned upon hearing the unfortunate news.
However, under the Prince of Romance's passionate advances, she quickly accepted Ted's marriage proposal with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
However, the date has been moved to tomorrow night.
No way.
Time was far too short.
The following evening.
A large hotel next to the Medical Center.
The place where Rachel had her last emergency wedding.
It's yet another emergency wedding that Adam helped organize.
Adam, naturally, also came over after a quick tidy-up after work.
When they arrived at the scene, they found Kate there as well.
"Things are bad?"
Adam understood immediately upon seeing Kate's expression.
"It's worse than I imagined."
Kate's face paled as she said, "You guessed it all! Those portraits with their eyes open are from people who were buried alive. The open coffin lids were covered in bloody scratches."
The dead were almost all with their eyes open, filled with despair and fear, dying with their eyes wide open.
The news could not be contained.
The townspeople were terrified.
Many people left overnight.
Many of the family members who were buried alive were furious and vowed to kill Elliot Deacon.
One by one, armed men gathered, preparing to storm the police station.
The police officers had no intention of protecting him; some even left the door open for family members who were preparing to storm the police station.
If it weren't for our people taking him away in time, he would have died in town long ago.
Even so, several people were injured.
There were angry family members, and there were our people.
The whole town was filled with the sound of crying, from adults to children.
That's terrible!
"We can't blame the people in the town."
Adam sighed, "Most people would do that."
If it were him, he wouldn't just shoot Elliott Deacon; instead, he would capture him, give him a taste of his own medicine, inject him with hydrating sleeping pills, and then bury him alive.
Even if Elliott Deacon were calm, as long as he was still a human being with the instinct to survive, he wouldn't have done any better than the victims in that situation.
He will truly feel the feelings of those he has hurt.
Adam would even listen to what was happening inside, and if someone was on the verge of death, he would immediately try to save them.
Then repeat, repeat, and repeat again and again.
In contrast, the families of these victims, who only wanted to shoot him, were remarkably restrained.
Kate remained silent.
Although she is a law enforcement officer, she believes in the law and thinks everything should be done according to the law.
But the devastation in the town was truly appalling.
Even a seasoned criminal investigator like her, with her extensive experience, had nightmares as soon as she fell asleep last night, waking up repeatedly in fright.
If it were her, she really wouldn't be able to say whether she could abide by the law.
"He didn't deny it?"
Adam asked.
"He admitted to everything."
Kate's expression was grim. "He was very calm and frank, recounting everything he had done over the years in a clear and organized manner. You can't imagine who his first victim was."
"His relatives?"
Adam gasped.
"Right!"
Kate exclaimed in shock, "It's his mother!"
"Why?"
Adam pressed for an answer.
"He comes from a single-parent family; his mother has never cared for him since he was a child."
No one suspected it was him, and no one cared about them.
When he grew up, he joined the army.
He learned a great deal on the battlefield.
After returning, he briefly got married.
Then he experienced the loss of his wife.
In his grief, he rediscovered his former hobbies.
Such killings made him feel that he was the chosen one, burdened with responsibility.
To do even better, he also opened a funeral home.
He did this for over twenty years.
Our bureau's Criminal Minds consultant told us that he suffers from severe mental illness, and he shows no remorse, no sympathy whatsoever; that's truly what he thinks!
Depend on!
This is the true return of the God of War!
He went mad after returning!
"What a pity this is New York!"
Adam shook his head.
Kate glanced at him and understood what he meant.
There is no death penalty in New York.
"Oh, right, remind my paramedics and the circling doctor."
Kate said gravely, "We really did find a problem."
"Is there really a conflict of interest?"
Adam's eyes narrowed.
This is not good news.
"It's not a conflict of interest."
Kate shook her head. "It's even worse than that. There was a paramedic who was his follower and kept helping him with his work!"
"Son of the bitch!"
Adam cursed out loud.
This is the worst possible outcome.
He is not afraid of conflicts of interest, because compared to his Money Power, such interests cannot affect him at all.
But in this situation, he couldn't help but worry.
"Kate, this time you must thoroughly investigate everything about him, leaving no detail unchecked."
Adam said firmly, "I will help you analyze it."
"I see."
Kate had intended to make a joke, but seeing Adam's serious expression, she immediately understood Adam concern and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you."
"I'm not afraid."
Adam said with a headache, "I'm worried about my family and friends. It seems that I was right not to give the interview yesterday. No, I need to step up my efforts and erase myself from this matter as much as possible."
In the United States, many depraved criminals have a penchant for targeting celebrities involved in criminal cases, always looking to play a game with them.
Often, the celebrity who is passively involved manages to survive, but his relatives and friends suffer heavy casualties, a truly tragic sight.
Adam would never allow such a thing to happen.
With that in mind, Adam called his assistant Ada and asked her to use her connections, network, and the Money Power Adam had authorized to use to downplay Adam's involvement in the matter and eliminate any trace of him.
Let's begin now.
After hanging up the phone, Adam, disregarding the fact that the wedding was about to take place, pulled Kate to a corner and urged, "Tell me everything you know, and we'll start analyzing it now."
Kate also got used to discussing cases that should have been kept secret with Adam, because Adam's super brain always managed to find details and clues that she had overlooked.
Adding to Adam's formidable fighting prowess, Kate often remarked afterward that Adam should have been a police officer; he would surely have been Super Detective and Crime Buster.
Unfortunately, Adam had no interest in it.
It's a real shame for Kate.
Now that Adam is so proactive in participating in the analysis of the case, saving her a lot of trouble, she naturally has no objections.
After listening to Kate's detailed account of the case, Adam went directly to Kate's apartment after the wedding and spent the night reviewing more case files, racking his brains to help with the analysis.
The same thing happened for the next week.
Fortunately amidst the misfortune, the secrecy surrounding this horrific event severely limited Elliott Deacon's ability to take on apprentices.
After all, for the sake of secrecy and solitude, his social circle was extremely limited.
Over the years, by sheer coincidence, he took on a paramedic with a similar background as his apprentice.
Moreover, they were trained from a young age.
Adam used all his connections to assist the police in a comprehensive investigation, ensuring that nothing was overlooked.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The unknown is the most terrifying thing.
When everything is under control, it's really not a big deal.
This paramedic apprentice wasn't as lucky as Elliott Deacon. The news leaked out immediately, and he was confronted by the furious family members. Unable to escape, he was shot dead that very night.
