Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 944 - Norman's Curtain Call, and Jot's Ending

Chapter 944: Norman’s Curtain Call, and Jot’s Ending

Jot quickly said, “Wait, don’t be rash. I can help you resolve this. You just need to take a simple mental evaluation, and you’ll be able to go abroad and live like a millionaire. Why are you doing this?”

Norman gave a twisted grin. “No, you didn’t want me to live. If I were in your position, I wouldn’t want someone who knows too many secrets to live either. So, I want you to die with me.”

Saying that, Norman suddenly pushed Jot to the side and shot his boss.

Jot screamed and fell to the floor.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two DEA agents who had been lying in ambush fired a string of bullets from their rifles. Norman fell to the floor, his gun flying out of his hands.

Two agents quickly rushed forward and helped Jot up.

Although Jot had screamed, he was relieved.

Norman’s shot had only hit his leg. Judging from the amount of blood, it probably hadn’t nicked any major blood vessels. He was still alive.

After signaling to the two agents not to drag him away, Jot turned to Norman.

Norman was lying in a pool of blood, but he had a strange smile on his face as he stared at Jot.

Countless thoughts flashed through Jot’s mind, but he had nothing to say.

Norman coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. He mumbled, “Do you think you can hide? Haha, I’ve already sent evidence of your drug trafficking to the FBI, NYPD, the D.A., and some of the most famous newspapers in America. Congratulations, Jot. You’ll be going to h.e.l.l with me soon. I’ll be waiting for you there!”

With that, he heaved a long sigh, and his body went limp.

Jot was terrified.

Although Norman was crazy, he had never been stupid.

If he was saying all that before he died, it couldn’t be fake.

How did this happen? Why did it suddenly become like this? What exactly went wrong? Jot fell into deep self-doubt.

…

In front of the virtual screen, Selina’s mouth was wide open as she watched the live feed. “What the h.e.l.l is going on? Is Norman crazy?”

Norman had been under strict watch since he was taken away by the DEA. It wouldn’t have been easy for him to escape.

Since he had successfully escaped, he could simply disappear. At the very least, he could change his ident.i.ty and go to South America to live as a tyc.o.o.n.

Why did he come here to cause trouble for his boss? What was even more bizarre was why he had pushed Jot away before shooting him. His gun had been aimed at Jot’s head just now, and he could’ve killed him easily, but he had given the others a chance to shoot him.

Luke sipped his coffee leisurely and didn’t answer Selina’s questions.

Even if he was the one who knew everything.

The truth was that the first day he met Norman, he had seen him again that night.

Even Norman’s lackeys met Luke that night.

But Luke hadn’t been there to catch up with them.

The effect of 40 Mental Strength was so obvious that Luke didn’t want to waste it.

As the saying went, good things didn’t happen overnight.

He had written down the names of Norman’s team in his little black notebook at noon, and he used them that night as his first test subjects after his Mental Strength reached 40.

Why would Norman’s team do a deal with Gusman the day after the incident, and with the entire team present?

The answer was clear.

Why would Norman suddenly change his mind and let himself be called to the transaction site by Malky?

Of course, only Luke knew the reason.

Actually, it wasn’t just Norman’s team whom Luke met that night.

Unbeknownst to Gusman, he had met Luke before.

They had all personally experienced an inducer + Basic Hypnosis + Mental Communication + Mental Strength.

Unfortunately, Luke didn’t truly have the ability to hypnotize people.

As indicated by the “partial learning available” tag behind Kilgrave’s Elementary Pheromone Control.

The only difference was that Luke’s Pheromone Control could only be used on women, and had no effect on men.

Thus, he couldn’t make Norman and the others do anything that would directly endanger their lives.

Like directly turning themselves in or disclosing Jot’s crimes, since they subconsciously knew that they would definitely die if they did that.

Luke could only target the weaknesses in their personalities and chart a path toward this spectacular show.

Increasing the fury and fear in Gusman’s heart and magnifying Norman’s paranoid, violent, and self-destructive tendencies caused them to ignore logic, and they slowly walked down the road of no return.

In fact, Norman and Gusman had always been cautious in their dealings. It was rare for the bosses to meet directly, and even rarer for them to bring their trusted lackeys with them to a negotiation.

Of course, this was also Luke’s doing.

Both parties ignored the risks and focused on the goods and money.

For both parties, the most important thing was goods and money.

After all these years, these deep-rooted beliefs made them ignore the huge risks.

After all, selling illegal drugs was a huge risk, and both parties were used to it, so they weren’t very vigilant.

In this experiment, Luke obtained information about the mastermind Jot Huckleson who was behind Norman’s team.

Including the fact that Norman had gathered a lot of evidence of Jot selling drugs, and how Jot wanted Malky to replace the unstable Norman.

Even so, if he wanted to make Norman kill Jot, it could easily rebound and trigger Norman’s will to live.

Thus, Luke donned his optical camouflage armor and created what Norman thought was an “a.s.sa.s.sination attempt,” and successfully activated the signal for “mutual destruction.”

Norman was narrow-minded and an extremist.

As long as Luke strengthened the ideas of “revenge” and “mutual destruction” in his heart, Norman would most likely follow this road to its dead end.

After spending the most time and effort on Norman, Luke finally pulled the big fish behind the scenes, Jot, out of the water and onto the sh.o.r.e.

With the live feed and the evidence which Norman had put together, it would be a problem if there was nothing wrong with Jot.

Besides, it wasn’t that there was nothing wrong with Jot, but that it was a huge problem.

Also, he was now experiencing Norman’s plight. Because of this scandal, it wasn’t just the victims and compet.i.tors who wanted him dead, but also his partners and subordinates.

As long as Jot’s mouth was pried open, his men and accomplices wouldn’t be able to escape disaster. The easiest way was to make Jot, a key figure, commit suicide or disappear.

Thus, this DEA bigshot could only go to prison or run.

A drug trafficker from the DEA wouldn’t survive long in prison.

As for running? Luke thought that was even better.

Finis.h.i.+ng his latte happily, Luke went to work in high spirits.

Selina continued to read files in the living room and looked at the untouched heart-shaped flowers in her coffee cup from time to time.
