American Comics: BOSS Invasion

This was a woman with a heroic spirit, tall and slender, with short brown hair. Underneath her dark, mid-length coat was a fitted denim shirt. Her appearance wasn't unattractive, but there was nothing particularly striking about it either. What was more eye-catching was the heavy weight on her chest.

She simply wore a long-sleeved shirt, yet it gave people a feeling of surging blood.

"I'm Sophia. I've heard them talk about you for days, and I've finally met you today. How should I put it? It's not quite what I imagined. Anyway, I'm very glad to meet you. Now that I have a partner, I should be able to go on missions today, right!"

Sophia turned to look at Bob.

Bob said, "Of course. You can also choose one yourself. Have you seen any files you're particularly interested in after looking at them all day yesterday? Forget about anything from two weeks ago. Even if you find them, it'll be a waste of time. It's uncertain whether the victims are even still alive."

Sophia: ...

Qi Shan said, "I believe you already know what kind of place this is before you came. Gotham is different from other cities. Crime is as numerous as the hairs on an ox, and our Robbery and Theft Unit is even more so. So, I suggest..."

Before he could finish speaking, a fat man shouted, "Qi Shan, Sophia, Fourth Avenue bank robbery!"

Qi Shan paused, pointed at the fat man, and said, "Why not take on a fresh one!"

Sophia looked at the fat man and smiled, "Good idea!"

Qi Shan snapped his fingers, "Then let's go!"

After saying hello to Bob and the other two, Qi Shan led Sophia straight outside.

Driving to Fourth Avenue, the street in front of the main entrance was still a mess, as if it had experienced an animal migration, with debris everywhere.

The police who had arrived earlier had already set up a cordon on the periphery, leaving a few people on guard, while the rest had already started working inside.

Qi Shan led Sophia inside.

They ran into a police officer wearing a peaked cap who was walking out. Qi Shan said, "What's the situation? Tyson?"

Tyson saw that it was Qi Shan and didn't show any surprise. He directly handed over the information in his hand.

"A group of audacious rookies, who knows where they got some weapons and thought they could run out and make a fortune. There were five people in total. Red Hood should be the leader; he was giving orders from beginning to end.

Their methods were relatively crude, but their actions were quite swift. The entire robbery process took less than three minutes. When they were leaving, they ran into a patrol car, but they used the trick of scattering money to attract a crowd to snatch it, blocking the police car inside, and they didn't dare to shoot.

They all got away! That's the situation. The surveillance video is ready. If you have any questions, you can go directly to the manager here.

If there are no problems, sign here for me. I still have other places to go."

Qi Shan signed without even looking and then handed the information to Sophia.

Sophia flipped through it while comparing it to the surrounding situation.

Qi Shan naturally knew the identities of these people, even what they looked like, but he didn't come here to get promoted or make a fortune.

What did solving the case have to do with him? Besides, this was Gotham. What was robbing a bank?

Before night fell, who knew how many people would die.

"Are you the manager?"

"Yes, Detective. My name is Louis. Is there anything you need to know?" The bank manager's eyes were filled with hope.

"Not for now. The robbery process was very fast. They didn't go into the vault but chose the counter. There were no marked bills or tracking devices. If they don't show their faces again, the chances of solving the case aren't high, so I hope you're mentally prepared!"

After speaking, Qi Shan turned and walked out of the office without waiting for the manager to answer.

Sophia followed in, put the information aside, and said, "Is it okay for you to talk like that?"

If you want to stand out from the mud and be a pure good police officer, you should give up that idea as soon as possible.

However, she didn't expect that her partner would not hide his idea of slacking off.

Was this the real Robbery and Theft Unit?

Qi Shan was watching the surveillance footage. The footage was very short and not very clear. The world background now was the seventies and eighties of the last century. Televisions had just become popular, and it was already good that the bank had surveillance cameras. The resolution was completely insufficient.

Qi Shan watched it once, and without any audio, he only roughly saw the movements of a few people.

There was no other information at all.

Just then, two more police officers walked in.

"Hey, Qi Shan, any leads?"

Qi Shan looked up and saw that it was the protagonist's subordinate, Havel!

Looking at Jim next to him, he said, "Why are you here?"

Havel sat down next to Qi Shan and said, "Nothing to do. I was just on the news recently and have been very idle. I brought him out to take a look around. This is Jim. You probably haven't met him yet. He's amazing. His father is the District Attorney, with a deep background, and he's also a war hero."

Qi Shan nodded, "Jim!"

"Qi Shan!" Jim Gordon responded.

Havel glanced at Sophia next to him and said, "Who's this?"

"She's new today. She's my partner! By the way, Havel, Jim's from the Homicide Unit!"

Sophia nodded and greeted them politely.

Qi Shan threw down the mouse and stood up, "There's nothing useful. It seems I have to start from somewhere else. Havel, whose territory is this area?"

"It belongs to Phi Se Mouni now. Be careful. Jim and I offended her a few days ago. She seems to have some plans and has been difficult to deal with recently."

Jim frowned, "You're going to ask Phi Se Mouni for information?"

Qi Shan said, "The surveillance footage doesn't show much, but judging from the situation at the door, although these robbers are clever and can think, their preparations were too hasty. Then there's a 70% or higher chance that they're outsiders. It's not easy for us to find such people, but it's very simple for them!

In order to solve the case as soon as possible, I'm just borrowing some resources reasonably. Don't be so nervous!"

Jim said, "She's not easy to mess with now!"

Qi Shan smiled, "Thanks for your concern. I naturally have my own ways!"

After speaking, he led Sophia straight away.

Jim looked at Qi Shan's back and frowned, "Havel, I always feel that Qi Shan is a bit strange. He seems too relaxed!"

Havel rolled his eyes, "What? You suspect he's the robber?"

"That's not it! It's just..."

"There's no 'just'. It's just a bank robbery and no one died. I kindly brought you to familiarize yourself with the environment, but you can't set me up!" Havel glared.
