Three-stream detection simulator

Hercules sat behind the long table and received the first interrogation of the day.

Despite the great pressure from the superiors, the police did not treat him harshly. The main reason was that defense lawyers these days were very difficult to deal with, and there was a lack of clear evidence to arrest Hercules. It would be no good to make the relationship too stiff before the final conclusion.

Even so, the police officers present could hardly restrain their discussions about him:

"...Is he a suspect? No evidence yet?"

"Gotham people, Gotham has good security recently, and I heard that the crime rate is lower than New York. Could it be that all the prisoners there have gone to other places?"

"Shh, don't joke like that, the boss is watching you."

Officer Davis froze his expression in solemnity and walked to the opposite side of Hercules with a menacing look: "Hercules Hugo."

Hercules raised his head.

He looked a little troubled just now, sitting there tapping the table with his fingers rhythmically, his eyes fixed in a certain direction in the air, as if he was in a trance.

——Before Officer Davis entered the interrogation room, Hercule was thinking about another question: Why didn't he trigger the side quest? Did the game system include this serial arson case in the main storyline? But Batman also had an intersection with the main storyline, but now "Batman" is still on his task list, and only the "口口口" in the reward has been replaced with a clear "Batan".

According to the rules, Hercule believes that the system's response may have a deeper logic.

"What are you thinking about?" Officer Davis asked.

Hercule quickly came back to his senses: "I'm thinking, um... I wonder if you have tried to contact Bruce Wayne?"

He didn't mention the Gotham Police Department or prosecutor Harvey Dent because the local government is not convenient to come forward in such occasions, otherwise Harvey would not give the commissioned task to the detective. But Master Wayne is the one who pays, although there is no commission in the name, there is a real employment.

This was an unexpected question. Officer Davis asked, "Do you mean Wayne in Gotham?" He glanced outside, secretly winked at his colleagues outside the one-way viewing window, and asked them to call Wayne Group, then turned around and said, "What does it have to do with him?"

"He is my client. Mr. Wayne can prove that I have not left Gotham for the past half month. I am not the murderer of the arson case, but it should be related to me, so can we cooperate?"

Officer Davis narrowed his eyes: "First, tell me how you heard about this case."

Batman changed his uniform, quickly and painlessly knocked out a patrolman who was slacking off at work, carefully put the person in a safe and hidden corner, and then changed into the other's uniform. He gave the unconscious arson mutant a boost, and for safety reasons, he also stuffed him with a vital sign monitoring device and several locators.

He was carrying a facial camouflage device that Wayne Technology was developing. Its advantage was that it could scan and model the facial features of strangers at any time. Its disadvantage was that the optical imaging was extremely rigid, and it was easy to find something wrong when observing closely or spending a long time with him.

However, Batman had not planned to stay in the New York Police Department. It was just that he didn't know whether Hercule intended to cooperate with the police department - he always felt that detectives could really do such a thing - so he didn't immediately help his teammates clear their suspicion.

The Dark Knight, who was transformed into a policeman named Pate, adjusted his walking posture and movements, and soon looked almost the same as himself. He walked into the New York Police Department without any obstruction while carrying a suitcase containing Batman's suit and mechanical heart. Several colleagues greeted him, and he responded naturally one by one, introducing the person following him:

"This is Mr. Anthony Stark, he has something to ask Chief Stacy."

Tony, who was dressed in a suit and carrying a red and yellow Iron Man suit suit, said naturally: "Yes, I have an appointment. Thank you. I will sign for you later."

Batman: "..."

Patrolman 'Pate' came to the corridor leading to the interrogation room. He opened the door and said to the person inside: "I am here to report to Chief Tang En."

A policeman next to Chief George Stacy turned his head and said: "Pate? Why is there Tony Stark? When will I..."

"I am here to see Chief Stacy." Tony said, "If there is anything that is inconvenient for me to listen in, you can pretend that I am not here."

Is this what people say? ?

Just at this moment, Hercule in the interrogation room was about to speak, and Director Stacy stopped a dispute: "Be quiet, listen to the people inside first."

The subordinates shut up with confusion and anger on their faces, and Batman and Tony stayed there to listen.

In the room, Hercule just talked about the key part. He touched his chin, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said in his usual, very friendly tone: "It's a long story. I have experienced similar incidents, but it should be very different from the arson case in New York. The fire in Aria today is different from the previous case."

Tony cleared his throat and asked Batman sideways: "Is he the weirdo who likes to collect human hearts you mentioned?"

Police: "?"

No, it was obviously you who said it.

"Please don't get me wrong, Mr. Stark."

Batman, disguised as a patrolman, moved aside and physically drew a clear line.

Hercule was actually not very interested. The fire in Aria Apartment was not complicated. He even felt that if he got too involved, he would seem to be pulled to the same low level.

"It's easy to find out the date of the fire drill in Aria Apartments. Even the old residents know the rules." He said calmly, Officer Davis. "The arsonists deliberately chose this time because they were not sure that they would never trigger the smoke alarm. The rest of the arson attacks in New York - if I'm not mistaken - were not deliberately timed, and they started without anyone noticing the details of the serial arson attack, and trying to frame the case. Even if this person is not the real culprit in the serial arson case, he must know the inside story. "

Officer Davis immediately said: "Why can't this person who is trying to frame the fault be you?"

Hercule was about to answer when Officer Davis added, "But you don't look like the kind of idiot who deliberately lingers at the scene just to provoke the police."

Thanks! You've defeated Gotham City's Detective Bullock from a sanity perspective!

"You are so wise!"

Hercule praised him sincerely.

But Officer Davis only saw his gray-green eyes looking at him with interest. He couldn't be said to be evil. The officer had dealt with many murderers with antisocial personalities. Hercule didn't A guy like that... he's just weird, and you don't know what the purpose of every word he says is true or false.

Thinking of this, Officer Davis' expression became even more gloomy, and he took a deep breath before continuing to ask, "So why did you stay in Aria's 10C?"

"My commission——"

"Speaking of which." The black police officer pressed the earpiece and interrupted Hercule. "We can't contact Bruce Wayne. He can't testify for you at the moment."

For the first time, Hercule felt the unreliability of his teammates. But considering that this guy is Bruce Wayne, and Mr. Wayne's external image is so difficult to describe, it seems that such a mistake is not impossible.

Outside the interrogation room, Batman's fingers moved imperceptibly.

"Sir!" Not long after, a police officer walked up to Director Stacey and said in a low voice, "Bruce Wayne's butler contacted us. Wayne admitted that he hired Hercule Hugo, and He has an officially recognized contract."

That was enough. Hercule successfully connected with the police station as a partner.

But he did not think about leaving the interrogation room, but continued: "I think we should try to find the person who set the fire in Aria's apartment and see if we can get clues from the other party; second, exchange information and say Maybe I can help. To show my sincerity, I can tell you what I know."

Everyone perked up when they heard this, and Officer Davis asked: "Is this the hypothesis you mentioned to your neighbor?"

"That's right." Hercule had the same attitude after being treated as a suspect and after getting rid of the suspicion. He said unhurriedly, "Sorry, I can't tell you the specific time and place it happened, so I just Let me start with the word 'what if'."

Officer Davis wanted to say something, and Chief Stacey's steady voice came from the earphone: "Listen to him."

Hercule: "If there is such a serial arson case, the details are similar to what you heard from Mr. Oliver Putnam, so I won't go into details. The local police arrested a total of four suspects. The first Bit-" He paused, shrugged and said jokingly, "Unfortunately, it's me."

Officer Davis remained serious, but there was a burst of laughter outside the interrogation room door. The police officers didn't mean any harm, but sometimes it's funny when such unfortunate things happen to others. They were a little less wary of Hercule, and someone muttered:

"He is really..."

Batman didn't smile either, his expression was as solemn as Officer Davis's. Tony said next to him: "It's amazing. I'm not a professional, but I want to ask, does this kind of luck really exist?"

Director Stacey: "I don't think so, Mr. Stark. Coincidence indicates necessity in most cases."

The snickering around him died down.

Officer Davis asked, "Why?"

"I accidentally stumbled upon an arson case." Hercule replied calmly, "Rescuing people came first. I broke into the burning apartment. Unfortunately, everyone died and the murderer was missing. So I started tracking The whereabouts of the arsonist appeared at the scene of the fire as the discoverer of several similar cases.

However, the local police are not used to accepting detectives like me or homeless people who are suspected of not paying taxes... It doesn't matter how you want to describe it, officer, I was arrested anyway. "

Officer Davis did not judge his colleague who did not know the time and space location, but only said: "You have the conditions to defend yourself."

"Yes, the police department can choose not to accept it."

Officer Davis: "Are you suggesting that they detained you illegally?"

"You misunderstood, officer, I didn't imply anything. It's just that in terms of the result, I couldn't leave the police station for a while, arson cases happened one after another, and their behavior in detaining me did not comply with the express regulations."

"—There's a mole in the department." Officer Davis concluded.

He lost his temper because of Hercule, and his thoughts changed from 'This man must be a murderer' to 'He's really annoying, but not a bad guy' and finally to 'Is there any way to make him communicate better' , it took less than half an hour, and I have not yet realized this change in mentality.

Batman, who is accustomed to being in love affairs, commented in his heart: a habitual criminal.

He also felt that Hercule's attitude when describing his experience was too calm, without any emotion, almost reading from a script.

Officer Davis also noticed this, but he interpreted it as Hercule's resentment towards the police. He tried to ease the atmosphere and said, "Of course, what's next? Since there is a second suspect, you should be released, right?"
