"The murderer has a strong ability to infiltrate. He managed to bypass the security of the Fantastic Four and sneak in here without anyone noticing. This means his abilities are even greater than we imagined, and his target was clear: starting with Reed's two children."
Moon Knight walked to the children's bed and gestured in the air, mimicking the murderer's posture to reconstruct the crime scene.
"The weapon used was a knife. This could be his usual weapon, but it might also be a way to mislead our judgment. At dawn, when Susan saw that her children hadn't gotten up, she went to call them for breakfast."
As he spoke, Moon Knight moved to the door of the room. There, the Invisible Woman lay on her back on the floor, a clear bullet hole in the center of her head.
When the others arrived, Susan's eyes were open, and there was a touch of serenity in them, as if she hadn't expected to be killed by an enemy. Seeing this, Carter sorrowfully closed her eyes with his hand.
"Susan's death was sudden, without any resistance. This indicates she was killed by the murderer without any preparation. After killing the two children, the murderer hid here and waited until the unprepared Susan pushed the door open."
"As for the Human Torch, the Thing, and Mr. Fantastic, they were all successively killed by the murderer in surprise attacks. This shows the murderer knows the Fantastic Four very well. Not just them, he likely investigated all the superheroes before starting these assassination plans."
Everyone quietly listened to Moon Knight's reconstruction. Finally, the Punisher couldn't hold back any longer. He pushed Moon Knight aside and hurriedly said.
"What's the use of talking about this now? Even if we know how he committed the murders, we can't identify him. I say we should thoroughly investigate the enemies of the Fantastic Four. The murderer being able to do this must be related to those villains."
"Kang?" Cable frowned.
If we talk about the enemies of the Fantastic Four, then Conqueror Kang is definitely the most threatening one. Moreover, Kang isn't just the enemy of the Fantastic Four but of all superheroes. If anyone could do such a thing, Kang would be the prime suspect.
"But he hasn't appeared in a long time, and he exists in various timelines. Even if we want to investigate him, it won't be easy. Cable, can you think of any way?" Moon Knight asked after thinking for a while.
"Honestly, I'm not sure. Kang's existence is a peculiar one, and I can't track his exact location. Even the Fantastic Four, who specialize in temporal theory, can't do that," Cable shook his head. "But I don't think the murderer is Kang."
"Why? Only Kang has the motive and ability, doesn't he?"
"That's true, but without absolute certainty, Kang wouldn't do this. Even he can't bear the consequences of disrupting the timeline. He's not from this timeline, and if he killed so many heroes here, it could cause a timeline collapse."
"If the timeline collapses, you know the consequences as well as I do. It could trigger a new round of multiverse wars, causing them to collide and even annihilate each other."
"But we can't rule out Kang as a suspect, can we? He's a madman from the future. How can you guarantee that he or his variants wouldn't commit such atrocities?" Kate stared at Cable, hoping he could provide an explanation.
"Hold on a second, I agree with Cable on this point. The murderer might really not be Kang." Moon Knight spoke up, stepping between the group and speaking slowly.
"Many of us have faced Kang and understand his abilities. But this time, the murderer's weapons were a knife and a small-caliber handgun. Using these 'antiques' isn't Kang's style."
Pausing for a moment, Moon Knight continued, "I also considered whether the murderer left these as a red herring, but I don't think so. The murderer didn't seem to be hiding his identity at all. Each time he committed a crime, his methods were brutal, almost as if he was flaunting it to us."
"But even if you're right, the clues involving the knife and the handgun are too broad. We can't investigate them thoroughly. Just in New York alone, there are countless criminals using knives and guns," the Punisher said coldly.
"There are many criminals, but not many who could pull this off," Moon Knight said quickly, pointing to the scene of the Fantastic Four massacre. "I think we can investigate this detail. Sometimes, the truth is closer than you think."
It was another beautiful morning. After a simple meal of instant noodles, Alex stepped out of his house.
In new york, breakfast culture was actually quite declining. Most people had unappetizing food like bread or cereal for breakfast. Some, who had the means, would make pancakes with fried eggs and ham. However, people rushing to work would usually opt for a roadside fast food restaurant.
People's eating habits can't change overnight. Used to having homecooked breakfast, Alex found it hard to develop a taste for the local breakfast, so he had to make do with toast and egg.
Walking down the street, the surroundings gradually became lively. The hurried passersby and early morning joggers made the entire city district come alive. Experiencing this scene, Alex almost forgot this was a world with superheroes.
Previously, Alex had been focusing on gathering information about this world and hadn't personally experienced its life. So today, Alex decided to relax and think about how to gain some benefits from being here.
If there was one thing in this world that intrigued Alex, it was definitely the various superpowers. Having lived in a materialistic world for so long, who wouldn't want to explore these supernatural phenomena?
There are many superpowers in the Marvel Universe. Whether it's mutants or Inhumans, they all have their unique, powerful abilities. However, these genetic mutations and body modifications are too uncontrollable, and Alex was quite averse to them, so he dismissed them first.
After ruling out some forces that he couldn't control, like the Phoenix Force or the Power Cosmic, Alex finally set his sights on magic and sorcery.
