A round of applause for the new patron 🎉🎉

New York Police Department.
A police officer rushed into George's office with a document in his hand.
"Captain, something happened!"
"Some of Kingpin's subordinates we were monitoring are dead."
"What?"
In disbelief, George took the information from the police officer, who recorded the time and place of those people's deaths.
They all died at home.
Some are heart attacks and others were some kind of accident.
In a city as large as New York, it is not surprising that dozens or hundreds of accidental deaths occur every day.
But this group are all Kingpin's subordinates and are all under police surveillance.
This is where it gets weird.
"Is there any record of their travel and movement before their death?"
The police officer nodded: "Yes, and everything is very normal."
"There's no failure, is there?"
What is very normal becomes abnormal, even more so in this situation.
Knowing that these people's deaths were not that simple, George immediately suspected Kingpin.
"Did you go ask Kingpin?"
"Some men have already gone, but he used various reasons to avoid it and only let his lawyer receive us."
George frowned.
This is the most problematic part when dealing with rich people. The law is not a restriction in your hands.
It is a weapon that allows them to exploit loopholes.
It is completely impossible to take down a rich and powerful man like him without enough evidence to take him down in one fell swoop.
Looking at the list of dead above, George knew that there was no point in investigating like this.
He has been dealing with Kingpin for many years.
The opponent's handling method is very clean.
"The men who were monitoring these people should withdraw, but leave those who were monitoring Kingpin and the people around him."
"If there is anything different, let me know immediately."
"Also, there is something else that I think deserves our attention, Captain Stacy."
George groaned suspiciously, and the officer delivered information again.
"Captain, do you know a writer named Arthur Morgan?"
George nodded: "Yes, he is very famous lately, even Gwen is a fan of his."
"But why did you mention him all of a sudden?"
"You will understand after reading this."
After reading the documents, George's expression was full of incomprehension: "Why is Kingpin protecting this man so tightly?"
"When we discovered this, we also studied it for a while."
"I also checked some information on Mr. Morgan and found out that his record is very clean."
"He has had no contact with Kingpin or any criminals, and we don't think they even know each other."
The officer's analysis left George even more confused.
Would a person like Kingpin protect someone he doesn't know?
"That's when we came up with a very reasonable suspicion."
"Tell me."
"We believe the Kingpin is a fan of Mr. Morgan and may be interested in his books."
George immediately looked at the officer in astonishment.
That look seemed to say, 'Are you kidding me?'
The police officer greeted him with a wave of incomparable affirmation.
"Because Mr. Morgan's books are really good, many people in our department are also fans of his books."
"Okay, that's enough, leave and continue investigating the situation!"
George didn't want to keep talking about it.
Kingpin is a gang leader who kills without blinking and does bad things all the time.
Are you going to protect a writer because of some books?
Suddenly, the policeman looked at George with a very surprised expression: "Captain, you haven't read Mr. Morgan's books, have you?"
George was speechless.
He didn't read it, firstly because he was too busy at work.
And second is that he's not interested in books, even books of this phenomenal level.
But George also has his pride, if he said he didn't read it.
Wouldn't other people in the department tell him he couldn't keep up?
"I...I've read his books."
"Why are you still here, don't you need to work? Go investigate now."
"Yes!"
Anyone can see that George is being stubborn.
After the police officer left, George continued to look at the information in his hand.
After half an hour of analysis, George also had reasonable doubts: "Are Arthur Morgan's books..."
"Are they really that good?"

Inside the Xavier Institute.
After Professor X tried many times but still failed to contact Jean, he finally stopped doing useless work.
"Has Logan found Jean yet?"
Professor X, worried, once again used his skill and prepared to contact Logan.
But in the next moment, Professor X was stumped.
He also wasn't able to get in touch with Logan.
"What is happening?"
Professor X was alarmed now, these two people are his most capable subordinates, there is no need to talk about Jean.
Wolverine is one of the most important members of the X-Men.
Now they are both missing.
Two powerful Mutants were missing, and all under Professor X's nose.
At that moment, the feeling of trust that was so difficult to build disappeared in an instant.
"No, the two must be found immediately!"
(All X-Men, come to my office immediately!!)
Professor X used his powers and summoned all the X-Men at the Xavier Institute.
Ten minutes later, the members of the X-Men gathered in the director's office.
"Professor, what do you want us to do?"
Everyone at the Xavier Institute has great respect for Professor X.
"The situation is urgent now. Both Jean and Logan, who were sent by me to execute a mission, are missing.
Everyone in the X-Men looked at each other in dismay, some couldn't believe what Professor X said.
The strength of these two people is great, how can they be missing?
"I'm also unable to contact them with my powers."
"Then I can only ask that you go out and look for them."
"What is certain is that none of them must have left New York."
Under the mobilization of Professor X, the X-Men left the Xavier Institute in several groups and entered New York City to search for the whereabouts of Logan and Jean.
The X-Men came out in full force, naturally attracting the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This was reported to Nick Fury almost immediately.
Nick Fury returned to the observatory room.
The largest monitor screens in front of them turned into individual images of various X-Men.
"Would you like to contact Charles?"
Maria Hill walked to Nick Fury's side.
"No, let's see what they're doing first."
