The flight of the eagle continued this issue as deadman attempted to get eagle into a suspicious mood by writing a mysterious note saying he knew what he did last sum…I mean he knows what crimes he committed. Turns out that the eagle is committing crimes, just not murder. Thievery! And using the circus as a cover for it! Is that original? I have no clue when this came out if that would be cliche or not.
(Side note, yk what is cliche? The seperate story that takes place with the boy and it turns out his father was the evil wizard all along. Star Wars is already out when this was published, right??)
Using one of the helpful hands at the circus, deadman ends up leading the cops right to eagle and his crew. But we actually get a situation where the body he took over, wasn’t good enough. And he had a hard time trying to stay on top of a moving Ferris wheel, by jumping from one seat to the next. I honestly don’t think anyone physically fit would have a good time with that. He eventually survived a fall in the body by taking over tiny at the last second and catching the guy. Getting Eagle caught by the police but also forming an alibi of a heist eagle committed on the same day deadman was murdered.
Deadman decides to go and see if anyone competent is handling his case, and it turns out there ISN’T! The detective in charge got dishonorably discharged due to beating a guy up unfairly, but it turns out the witnesses were a retired boxer and a man with a hook. A HOOK! Like the description of who killed Boston, WOAH! Well Boston takes over the cops body and decides to go investigate on his behalf. He finds out that the cop was setup and the boxer admits everything and that even the hook guy lives a few apartments over. Well Boston gets the other cops to clear this guys name, but once they get back the boxer has been beaten to death and the apartment with the hook is empty with the murder weapon and a wig and glasses. Turns out this guy really only wants one identifying feature! Boston was still able to clear the cops name, which is surprising as he would be the first suspect, but hopefully that will come back to help at some point, he does end up helping quite a bit of people even if he is solely trying to find his murderer. But if the hook was so easy to ditch his hair and glasses as props, what does that say about the super obvious hook??
