Only by observing the occasional movement of these children's eyes and the subtle changes in their facial expressions can one truly understand them.
However, Xu Fu could tell that all of this was just a show of composure on their part; these children clearly knew something.
With that in mind, Xu Fu took a step into the arena.
However, standing near the court, he made no move, simply watching them play basketball quietly.
Nevertheless, Xu Fu's unwavering stance on the court clearly shook the few Black children on the basketball court.
What was once a smooth dribbling game turned into frequent mistakes, which reinforced Xu Fu's belief that these children knew something.
"Damn it!"
Just then, the black man who was going for a layup missed. The ball hit the rim, bounced high, and drew a huge parabola in the air before finally landing in the direction of Xu Fu.
As Xu Fu picked up a rolling basketball, all eyes on the court were focused on his hand movements.
"Sir, this is our basketball."
On the field, several Black children looked at each other, and finally, a child who looked noticeably taller stood up and spoke.
摆动
Xu Fu glanced at the outstretched hand.
With a slight bend of his wrist, he tossed the ball into the air, where it fell into the distant basket.
The Black children couldn't help but gasp in amazement as Xu Fu easily scored the basket, and their wariness lessened somewhat.
Xu Fu silently watched the changes in the expressions on the faces of the Black children, and when he did, several things became very clear.
"Judging from the looks of it, you guys should have been playing basketball here from the beginning," the team said.
Chapter 707 was a bit heavy.
“I have a few more questions I want to ask you, but judging from your expressions, I don’t think you’ll tell me easily. How about this, I’ll play a game of basketball with you. If I win, you can tell me what you saw. If I lose, I’ll not only give each of you ten dollars, but I also won’t bother you again.”
Faced with Xu Fu's proposal, especially the temptation of ten dollars, the Black child couldn't help but breathe more heavily.
They simply looked at each other, and the child who had spoken earlier nodded: "Yes, it's a deal, sir."
Looking at the few Black children on set, Xu Fu smiled slightly, took off his coat and put it on the bench, then walked onto the set.
People's eyes fell on the leather shoes on Xu Fu's feet, and several black children simultaneously showed confident expressions in their eyes.
"Officer, can you tell us about the developments in the eucalyptus case?"
"No comment."
"Officer, this is the eleventh murder case so far. Do you have anything to say?"
"No comment."
"Officer, there are rumors that this is all about vampires. Some people think the newly formed Thunder team should be involved in investigating 167. What do you think?"
"At this point, Eucalyptus is still with the NYPD, and I have nothing more to say about that."
As soon as the investigation team arrived, media members immediately gathered at the entrance of the alley to conduct interviews.
The investigation team remained silent on this matter.
The investigation into the eucalyptus case has been quite convoluted, and so far they have made no progress, so naturally they will not speak to the media.
Refusing further interviews and questions from the media, the investigation team entered the scene amidst the roar of television cameras.
Snap, snap.
27:0
On the other side of the field.
Xu Fu put down the basketball, looked at the children surrounding him from the front, smiled, and gave a reminder.
This match was unbalanced from the very beginning.
Xu Fu discovered many superpowers, and even without using them, his physical strength alone was already far superior to those on the field.
However, he tried his best to maintain a balanced physique during the game.
However, with the support of various abilities, he can still perform at an overwhelming level on the field.
After Xu Fu made another three-pointer at the end of the first half, the black children in the game realized the huge gap between them and Xu Fu, and simply conceded defeat.
“We admit defeat, sir.”
Panting heavily, several Black children sat on the ground, waving their arms.
On the other hand, Xu Fu showed no signs of fatigue, and not even a drop of sweat.
Seeing this, they became even more aware of the gap between the two sides.
Are you a professional basketball player, sir?
It took a long time for him to recover, and the leader of the men in black couldn't help but make a request to Xu Fu.
"No, I'm just an ordinary journalist."
After getting off work, Xu Fu bought water at the nearest supermarket and distributed it to the children, and just then returned home.
"You are a better basketball player than anyone I know, even professional basketball players on TV are not necessarily as good as you."
As he reached for water, the Black man couldn't help but sigh.
As he spoke, several children around him who were also drinking water couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Not necessarily, but definitely.
Psychologically, he silently responded to that statement: with Xu Fu's current abilities, participating in a basketball game is becoming a complete mockery.
The outcome will not be much different from previous matches on the field.
After a basketball game and utter astonishment, the Black children simply told Xu Fu what they knew.
From their various accounts, Xu Fu was able to piece together parts of the Queens murder case.
According to Black people at the scene (bbaj), the two Black men killed were gang members from a neighboring community. This situation is almost common among more than half of the Black population in Queens. They have no fathers, cannot afford to go to college, and many of them come into the sights of gang forces from a young age, naturally becoming members of them without being influenced.
This is evident in the cases of the two victims, because not everyone can succeed in a gang due to intense competition. For example, the two black men killed last night were low-ranking members of the gang, two of whom were just watching the kids play basketball.
The children didn't notice anything until the eucalyptus trees appeared.
The two men were first discovered by a child playing basketball, although the Black child who found them was not on the court that day.
It is said that this guy grabbed the wrong basketball and hit one of the victims on the head, causing quite a stir.
These children weren't as brave as the Black children who first discovered the scene, but they witnessed it from a distance. According to their description, the two bodies were desiccated, without moisture, as if they had lost all vitality.
Furthermore, and most importantly, the time from when the two people were by the wall to when they disappeared and were found as mummified bodies was no more than 15 minutes, which means that the time it took for the two people to be killed was shorter than the time reported by the media.
"Yes, I remember."
At that moment, the Black child drinking water in the field spoke up, his voice lacking confidence.
"Last night when those two people were there, I thought I saw them talking to someone, but the streetlights were a bit dim, and I was in a hurry to play basketball, so I didn't look closely. When I turned around again, those two people were gone. I thought they would leave soon, but who knew?"
Do you still remember what the people who were talking to them looked like?
Xu Fu caught a hint of something unusual in the child's words, so he quickly continued to ask.
"I don't really remember."
Shaking his head, the Black man drinking water frowned and thought for a while. "I probably didn't see it very clearly at the time. I just thought the other person looked a bit watery and had messy hair."
The New York City Coroner's Office, Parkloo Avenue, Manhattan, New York.
As the busiest government agency in New York City, the office comes into contact with the bodies of people who have died accidentally or intentionally every day.
Naturally, among the bodies were those of two Black victims from Queens.
Outside the coroner's office, using his superhuman vision to make sure everyone inside was there, Xu Fu's eyes quickly found his target among the dazzling array of corpses.
Finally, the manner of death of these two men was somewhat unusual, quite disturbing even among the many corpses in the office; their bodies were shriveled, and one of them was even separated from its head.
Okay, so this is the guy who mentioned his head being used as a ball.
Chapter 708 The Crow's Cry
His gaze lingered for a moment on the decapitated corpses, then swept across the busy crowd in the coroner's office, while Xu Fu pondered whether he should examine the bodies more closely.
The unlocked ability helped him collect the evidence he needed without making a sound, but in order to understand the situation of the mummified corpse further, Xu Fu felt it was necessary to get a little closer.
With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. As his thoughts flowed, his body gradually became transparent from within his palm, eventually disappearing without a trace.
While the stealth ability has a slight initial delay, it seems to be a pretty good example in terms of immediate usability.
Especially when combined with super speed, he doesn't have to worry about being noticed.
"Squinting indicates sensitivity to light, a slight decrease in respiratory function, and the mascara on the right eye is applied crookedly."
"I was in a rush to get up this morning."
"And you're not wearing makeup on your left eye."
"If this person had lived longer, he would have died of a heart attack."
