New Gods of North America.

Chapter 486 Unexpected
In fact, Wayne had already given up hope of catching the man at the last address.

But reality just likes to play the "twists and turns" game with people.

Seeing the detective agency team arrive at the scene and park a little further away, Liam quickly came over with a warm look on his face:

"The target is taking a shower at home now. If we act right away, he probably won't be able to resist. But he is carrying a gun when he takes a shower, so we still have to be careful."

Wayne was a little suspicious about this, "The target is still there? Is there anything unusual on your side?"

Liam scratched the back of his head.
"I used my extraordinary ability to crawl into his room... I didn't seem to find anything unusual...

"Oh, by the way, it seems that a thief has set his sights on his house tonight, but I just knocked him out and dragged him into the alley, so this should... not violate the rules of the detective agency, right?"

"You did very well."

Wayne patted Liam on the shoulder and winked at Sanders. After the latter nodded, he walked in the direction of the alley.

Since there is still hope here, let's continue to set up the encirclement.

Sheriff William no longer had the right to make suggestions, so the detective agency adopted a mode of action that it was more proficient in.

The last target lived in a pretty good place, and the neighborhood was more harmonious. Although it was still a townhouse, it was the type where "an entire floor was designated as only one unit".

The rooms and facilities are relatively better and more comfortable, suitable for small families with stable incomes to rent, at least they don’t need to squeeze several people into one room.

With Liam's help, Wayne and several agents went straight upstairs.

I don't know if this group of people have any strange superstitions, but they all like to live on the second floor. I can only say that it is indeed convenient to jump out of the window, and it is not easy for passers-by to monitor the situation inside.

With a good housing environment, people inside naturally don't need to share the bathroom with other residents.

Wayne tiptoed into the suite and heard a cheerful tune coming from the bathroom. He didn't complain in his heart that the man was singing more out of tune than a parrot. Instead, he felt a little excited.

In fact, not many families can use bathtubs these days, so there is quite a bit of noise in the bathroom, as if someone is using a towel to take water out of the bucket, and water drops are dripping onto the floor.

Although the scene may not be very elegant, two people have already escaped tonight. If you can still catch this one, don't waste time.

So as soon as Wayne made a gesture, the three agents cooperated and moved forward. One of them kicked the door open, and then took the gun and followed behind. The two agents next to him quickly filed in, lowering their bodies to the left and right.

"Bang!"

The spiritual intuition instantly sensed the fluctuation of extraordinary power, and at the same time when one of the agents fell limp, Wayne had already outlined it through his vision of simple lines.

"boom!"

A revolver was fired away before Wayne could raise his wrist to the right position. Wayne shouted "Try to keep some alive". The other agent in the bathroom saw that it might be too late to turn around and aim, so he turned around, raised his arm and elbowed the attacker.

The opponent's chest was hit, but one hand still swung over with extraordinary strength, and the action looked like "throwing a sandbag".
After all, "Shock" is also ranked first in the arena. After bending his knees to dodge, he threw an uppercut with extraordinary power, and the opponent immediately fell to the ground.

Well……

Foxes seem to be cunning, but in the entire animal world, they are not ferocious.
I just don’t know what this guy’s extraordinary ability is. He could actually knock down an agent directly. It seems that he still needs to practice “whale oil”.

At this time, a gentleman upstairs heard the gunshot and came down with a stick in his hand. A lady at the corner of the stairs was sticking her head out.
Wayne temporarily fooled them with the name of "police investigation", and then asked the detectives to start cleaning up the mess. He also called Sheriff William up to confirm the situation and comfort the residents.

Sometimes it is really inconvenient to do things when you are not in your own territory.

But the good thing is that you don't have to worry too much about the impact. If the sky falls, there will be people who will take the blame first. …

"Tell me, who sent you?"

All the accomplices of the assassin who could be caught have been caught. It will probably be difficult to find the remaining two who escaped.

However, things have their priorities. Compared to "how did the person run away" and "where to catch him", Wayne is more concerned about "who leaked the news" at this time.

So Inesa and the detectives escorted the two accomplices back to the police station with Sheriff William and his team.

Wayne, Liam and Sanders' car pretended to be the rear guard, but in fact they were pulling the "thief" who was knocked unconscious by Liam onto the carriage.

This guy was not directly related to the assassination case, so Wayne did not tell the police about his existence, but detained him separately.

I plan to ask about the specific situation first, and then consider whether to send it to the church or to someone else.

After being woken up, this guy still looked confused at first.

It was not until he listened to Wayne's self-introduction and realized into whose hands he had fallen that he revealed a panicked expression.

Liam, who was sitting next to him, was very sensible. He put the muzzle of the gun to the other person's crotch and cocked the hammer. "My boss asked you a question, answer it honestly."

You don't recognize my face, but you seem to have heard of my name...

Wayne tried to make a blind guess, so he knocked on the partition of the carriage and spoke to Sanders who was driving outside, "Let's go to the Beeton family's estate."

The old man's reputation in the local area does not seem to be very positive, of course, it may just be that there is a part of him that is "not positive enough".

But it is obviously effective against locals. The thief got anxious and said, "No, please don't take me there. I'm just following orders."

"Answer my previous question." Wayne looked straight into the other person's eyes.

The other party unconsciously avoided Wayne's sight, "I was sent by Sheriff William..."

Ok? !

"Why?" Wayne asked.

"I...I don't know..."

"Who does he work for?" Wayne continued.

"I don't know...really. But he also told me to avoid being caught by you, saying that you have a way to detect lies..."

Logically speaking, the local sheriff should have more connections with the political world, but if we refer to David Mills's situation, it seems that the church may also be involved.
Wayne had no clue for a moment, but he didn't want to continue to investigate in this direction. The assassination case has not been solved yet, and he has no time to deal with those who are doing bad things in secret.

So he chose the simplest solution - to go to the Beeton family's manor to find the old man.

Since this guy seems scared, they are probably not in the same group.

When it comes to handling local affairs, local people are generally better at it.
