24 Just in case

Back home.

"You mean you saw Catherine, but Catherine might be dead?"

Hearing the narration of his wife and two sons, the green skeleton, deformation, corpse, money... Jonathan was a little confused for a moment.

"The person who received us in the antique shop should be the person who robbed the bank."

Combining what Clark said earlier, David felt that the matter was obvious.

"Luther first, then Catherine, she has the ability to transform into other people."

"Who would that person be?"

Martha was extremely disturbed, rubbing her arms, thinking it was terrible, the other party could become familiar people, quietly approaching you.

Just now she didn't realize that the other party was not the one she knew.

Clark frowned and thought hard. First of all, he can be sure that the skeleton of the person is a woman, and secondly...

it seems that there are no other clues for the time being.

"It's Tina."

David frowned and thought for a few seconds before suddenly speaking.

The three members of the family shot over with puzzled eyes.

Clark asked: "Why is it Tina?"

"She has that kind of ability. Isn't it good to become someone? She can become a celebrity or politician. Why does she want to become Aunt Catherine? The police can't find her.

Unless— if Catherine is dead, and the police will definitely find her."

After analysis and speculation, he thought it was Catherine's daughter, and said with a smile.

Only Catherine's daughter, Tina, no matter who killed Catherine, the police would come to ask about the situation, because she was the only relative of the deceased.

"Tina stole the money and killed her own mother, she did it because of a guilty conscience."

"Catherine!"

Martha grieved the loss of someone she once knew well.

"Don't be too sure, son."

Jonathan held his wife's cold hand to comfort her, frowning.

"A daughter killed her mother, this..."

A murderer that violated human relations is too appalling!

David raised his eyebrows at his father's instinctive reluctance to believe in such a tragedy but said nothing.

"I saw that her skeleton is different."

Clark carefully recalled his memory and finally remembered another clue that he didn't know if it could be counted as a clue.

"It emits a strange green light, and the lines of the skeleton are a bit strange."

Unlike ordinary people's ribs, which are smooth and natural, the ribs of that person vary in thickness.

"Catherine was quite old when Tina was born, and Tina was born with hypochondria."

Martha seemed to be remembering something terrible, and her face turned slightly pale.

"She and her husband sought medical treatment everywhere. The doctor thought she would not survive the first grade of elementary school. They spent money to find a way to give her a lot of experimental drugs in the development stage, but it was useless." Jonathan frowned and took the words in a dull voice:

"Later, they had no choice but bring take Tina back to Smallville, but somehow a miracle happened, and Tina gradually got better."

Now he also somewhat believed his son's reasoning, that the murderer was Tina.

"Desperate people sometimes go to the doctor in a hurry."

David touched his chin and looked at Clark.

"I heard that when the meteorite fell at the beginning, some priests came to the town and claimed that the meteorite was a gift from God, and soaking in water can cure all diseases..." There is no need to say the rest.

It is conceivable that Catherine and her husband, who had nowhere to go, would try desperately and thank God excitedly after discovering that their daughter had improved amazingly.

But Catherine might not have thought that she would die because of her daughter in the future.

"David is right, that person may be Tina."

Clark's eyes widened.

After his younger brother's analysis and the information provided by his parents, all the clues were connected.

No wonder that person's skeleton glowed like a meteorite because she had been drinking in the water polluted by the meteorite since she was a child!

"Since you have seen the corpse, call the police first."

Jonathan thought for a while, not letting the murderer escape, he picked up the phone and called the police.

Briefly tell the situation, the money that may have been robbed in the bank was found in the Catherine Antique Store, and there was a smell of corpses.

The police immediately dispatched the police and rushed to the antique shop.

"Okay, boys, the police are out there."

She would be caught on the spot, even though Tina might be someone else.

David frowned.

This is not safe.

The couple didn't know that apart from Tina's ability to transform, her body was so strong that she could resist bullets, making it difficult for ordinary police to deal with.

"I'm going to ask for leave this afternoon and not go to school."

David said suddenly.

Kryptonite is undoubtedly what caused some people in the town to gain powers.

"Then if we spend more time with kryptonite, suffer more radiation from kryptonite, or even swallow kryptonite, will it make our power stronger?"

His eyes flickered. Is that why Tina drank water from meteorite bubbles since she was a child?

"I want to ask for leave too."

Clark followed closely without letting go of his vigilance, his eyes were serious, and he wanted to protect his parents from any harm.

David glanced at Clark.

If it was anywhere else, a random ability user from a small town could make him with Thanos' physique unable to easily protect his parents from a little harm when facing each other, he would think it was absurd.

"But the enemies that Superman sometimes encounters, even he will feel troublesome and even dangerous."

Not really afraid, but just in case, it is best for him and Clark to stay and protect their parents together.

Even if it turns out to be a false alarm in the end, it's better than something that he absolutely doesn't want to see happen and make him regret for his whole life.

"Why?"

The two sons reacted a little loudly, and the couple were puzzled.

"Are you afraid that Tina will attack us?"

Boom!

Just as the two were about to explain, there was a knock on the door.

Looking through the glass door of the outer door, in the dim sunlight, Lex Luthor stood outside the door, with a polite smile on his face, and a friendly voice: "Can I come in?"

Jonathan and Martha were a little nervous, Standing up from the sofa, David and Clark stepped forward, standing in front of their parents.

David secretly gave Clark a look.

Clark tried to open the perspective again to observe Lex's skeleton outside the door.

But because of some nervousness, it didn't open for a long time.

"What's the matter?"

Lex Luthor opened the outer door and joked, "It's me, not my evil twin, and I don't have a gun in my hand." He raised his hands and showed them to the family.

"Clark, David, Mr. Kent...you all know I'm innocent."

"Hurry up."

Clark concentrated his energy and tried to control, and finally, the scene in his eyes turned into an X-ray again, and he glanced at Luther's whole body Up and down, heaved a sigh of relief, hinted at his younger brother and parents, and smiled.

"Lex, what are you doing here?"

The skeleton is normal, it's the real Lex Luthor.

Jonathan and Martha were also relieved.

David secretly relaxed his tense body.

If he faced it alone, even with ten capable people, he wouldn't be so nervous, but his parents were behind him.

"I'm here to thank Mr. and Mrs. Kent.

Without your testimony, I can't get rid of the suspicion yet."

The Kent family reacted strangely, with suspicion secretly flashing in their eyes, Luthor smiled.

"Come in, Mr. Luther." Martha greeted.

"I watched the CCTV footage, and I don't know how that person did it. He looks almost exactly like me. If it wasn't for the different signature and handwriting, I might be a pauper now." Luther expressed his sincere surprise and doubts.

"It's a strange feeling to see people robbing banks in a panic in broad daylight against my face."

He wanted to take the opportunity of gratitude to visit and become acquainted with the Clark family.

But after arriving, Luthor suddenly felt that the atmosphere of this family was a bit dull and weird. It seemed that it was not a good time to visit, and the plan went wrong again.

This time he didn't show his sharpness and cleverness and offered to help if there was any trouble.

"If a person has a bad feeling for someone, the smarter he is, the more he will be guarded and resisted." After chatting for a few minutes, he sincerely expressed his gratitude, his eyes flickered, and he left.

hum!

Leaving the farm, Luther got on the silver-gray convertible sports car, glanced at the Kent family in the house, frowned, and drove away without knowing what he was thinking.

...

Thinking that Tina might be a powerful ability user, Jonathan thought for a while and asked for leave for his two sons. The reason for the leave was the high incidence of flu in spring.

He did not send David to school for fear that he would be attacked alone.

"David, just stay at home with us. Clark will protect us. I will ask my acquaintances to see the results of the police. Maybe the police can catch Tina."
