Chereads / The Arrival of Naruto in the Marvel Universe / Chapter 274 - Chapter 274: The Corpse

Chapter 274 - Chapter 274: The Corpse

After a 13-hour flight, when Charles and the others arrived at Bangkok Airport, it was already night.

 

Upon disembarking, Li Zhongzhi looked at the three armored vehicles parked in front of him, feeling a bit stunned.

 

Despite not being in Thailand yet, Li Zhongzhi could already sense the extent of Charles's influence, as everything was arranged even before their arrival.

 

Charles got into the middle vehicle directly with the other two armored vehicles serving as escorts.

 

"Go to Bangkok Police Station."

 

Sitting in the car, Li Zhongzhi quickly turned on his phone. It had been off during the flight.

 

Seeing missed calls and text messages from Thai police officer Cui Jie, Li Zhongzhi immediately returned the call.

 

"Cui Jie, this is Li Zhongzhi. Any new clues?"

 

"Why couldn't I reach you on the phone? I found out that you left Thailand."

 

"Yesterday, we found a female corpse on the beach. We wanted you to come and confirm if it's your daughter, but we haven't been able to reach you."

 

"The body is currently at the police station. If you can, come over and take a look."

 

Listening to the voice on the phone, Li Zhongzhi's heart sank. He then looked at Charles and the others in the car and replied, "I'm on my way to the police station. I'll be there soon."

 

Charles, who overheard the conversation, knew that there was still time based on the timeline of the movie.

 

Seeing Li Zhongzhi's anxious and worried expression, Charles spoke, "It's not your daughter. No need to worry."

 

Thinking Charles was just comforting him, Li Zhongzhi reluctantly nodded, trying to manage his facial expression. However, the sadness in his heart remained.

 

Soon, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of the Bangkok police station, catching the attention of the on-duty police officers.

 

Realizing that someone important had arrived, they immediately informed their colleagues inside the station.

 

At this moment, Charles, accompanied by Neji, Hinata, and Temari, got out of the car, with Li Zhongzhi being the last to step out.

 

Although he was the last to get off, Li Zhongzhi ran to the front and hurried into the police station.

 

The on-duty police officer recognized Li Zhongzhi, thinking if he called for reinforcements. However, seeing Charles's team, they were puzzled by the configuration: one adult and three kids?

 

At this point, the on-duty officer hadn't recognized Charles Doyle's identity.

 

The news conference did not reach the streets of Bangkok, and for ordinary people abroad, Charles Doyle's fame was not as high as Tony Stark's. 

 

After all, Tony was a real superhero who continued fighting crime after becoming Iron Man. Charles, on the other hand, had only been seen in two battles, and there were no publicized heroic acts apart from those. 

 

Additionally, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s propaganda about Charles was limited to New York and the United States; there was no global publicity.

 

Inside the police station, Officer Cui Jie had returned early upon hearing that Li Zhongzhi was on his way. 

 

Upon seeing Li Zhongzhi running in with an adult and three children, he was a bit puzzled. What kind of arrangement was this, one adult and three kids?

 

"Come with me; I'll take you to identify her," said Cui Jie directly.

 

Li Zhongzhi nodded, and when he turned around, Charles and the others entered calmly.

 

Following Li Zhongzhi's gaze, Cui Jie asked, "Do you know them?"

 

"They came with me to help," Li Zhongzhi replied.

 

Cui Jie gave Li Zhongzhi a meaningful look and then said, "Alright, let's go together."

 

The group followed Cui Jie to the morgue. Facing the unopened cabinets, Cui Jie said, "Cabinet C3, you can pull it open."

 

Li Zhongzhi, with a heavy heart, walked towards it.

 

Neji, in a low voice, activated his Byakugan, glanced at C3, and said, "It's not your daughter."

 

Cui Jie gave Li Zhongzhi another look, then said, "Zhongzhi, take a look for yourself."

 

Li Zhongzhi turned around and gave Neji a glance. Although he hoped for the same result, he still walked up to the cabinet.

 

Opening the door, there lay a female corpse covered with a white cloth. Li Zhongzhi pulled the body out with force.

 

Looking at the body in front of him, covered with a white cloth, Li Zhongzhi could still recognize that it was a female body, but he didn't know if it was his daughter.

 

Li Zhongzhi's eyes turned red, and his hands trembled as he gently uncovered the white cloth...

 

Soon, Li Zhongzhi covered the body with the white cloth again, pushed it back inside, and closed the cabinet door.

 

Li Zhongzhi turned around with bloodshot eyes, quickly walked up to Charles, and then knelt down, grabbing the hem of Charles's pants, pleading, "Lord Charles, please help me find my daughter. She is my only family left. I beg you."

 

Seeing this, Charles immediately bent down, helped Li Zhongzhi up, and said solemnly, "Rest assured, leave it to me. Your daughter will be fine."

 

On the side, Cui Jie, witnessing a foreigner taking such responsibility, frowned.

 

As they walked out of the morgue, Cui Jie pulled Li Zhongzhi aside and quietly said, "Who did you bring with you? Be careful not to be scammed; you might lose both money and people in the end."

 

Cui Jie, a Chinese descendant, naturally had a natural sympathy for Li Zhongzhi from Hong Kong, so he couldn't help but give a reminder.

 

Walking ahead, Neji's team frowned slightly. Then they looked at Charles. As long as Lord Charles agreed, they were determined to teach this guy who slandered Lord Charles a lesson.

 

Seeing the three ninja's gaze, Charles shook his head slightly, not paying much attention to Cui Jie's words.

 

Li Zhongzhi looked at Cui Jie's gaze and spoke seriously, "I trust them."

 

"Maybe you can learn more about the name Charles Doyle; he won't deceive me."

 

"Now, please take me to get my daughter's belongings; I need them."

 

Hearing Li Zhongzhi's words, Cui Jie firmly remembered the name Charles Doyle and decided to check it thoroughly later.

 

"At this hour, the on-duty personnel in charge of the evidence room have already gone off duty. I'll check if the key to the evidence room is here."

 

Cui Jie went to the office, searched for the key to the evidence room, but couldn't find it. Then he asked the on-duty police officer next to him.
