Three-stream detection simulator

Batman is rich and super serious.

Hercule didn't take it seriously. Seeing that the other party didn't agree, he knocked on the glass twice more and was convinced that it was bulletproof.

The vigilante, whose face could not be seen clearly but must be very young, glanced at him and pressed the button on the console. Hercule was waiting for the car door to open, or at least the window to roll down, but the result was that the back cover of the car slowly lifted up, and a chair popped out from the trunk of an ordinary vehicle, with straps for buckling on the limbs. , obviously different from the iron hoop of the safety belt.

Hercule: "..."

Although human xp is free...

He asked: "Is there no other place?"

Batman probably heard his question, but chose to ignore it and sat there motionless.

Hercule stood in a stalemate with him for a moment, took a breath, shrugged and walked to his seat to sit down. Not to mention, the backrest of this private seat specially provided for criminals was quite comfortable, which cured his slightly stiff spine after wearing the coat for a long time.

After he sat firmly, Batman pressed another button, and the bracket behind the high-back chair folded up, and then dexterously turned around in the car. Hercule immediately faced the front, and the rear cover of the car also followed. came down.

It's cool, but for Hercule, whose soul has traveled through time and whose shell comes from the cyberpunk universe, it can only barely reach a commendable level. This has nothing to do with his lack of money to buy himself one.

Batman didn't use the handcuffs and shackles that came with the chair, so Hercule simply pretended that it was an ordinary chair, fastened the seat belt, and pretended to have a long conversation all night. He said relaxedly and calmly: "Let's get to the point. Let me ask first, are you the one spying on me in the hotel?"

"You know someone is watching you?"

Hercule pointed to his head with a smile: "Anyone who can do my job must have some intuition."

No, it's hard to say. Batman, who felt he had no such thing, responded noncommittally: "It wasn't me in the hotel."

"Well, it seems to be the hotel's surveillance. I missed something during the investigation." Hercule is not shy about talking about his current weaknesses. "When did you start following me? Yesterday early morning? Is it because Edward Nygma, Bruce Wayne or me?"

The darkness and mask hide Batman's expression from the side. Hercule originally thought that his appearance was a bit exaggerated, but now he felt that it was just right and necessary.

However, no matter whether they are doing good or bad things, only those with normal life needs will choose to cover their faces. In other words, Batman must have a second identity after taking off his helmet. He is not a supernatural incarnation born in the darkness, let alone A monster that pops out of a gargoyle.

Isn't there some progress in the side mission?

Hercule and his human supremacy were satisfied.

On the contrary, Batman said coldly with a sullen face: "Are you sure I have followed you?"

"You showed up in front of the fast food restaurant tonight and didn't you come specifically to see me? I said I wanted to thank you for helping me get rid of the robbers before, and I definitely meant it. But you don't seem to be short of money." Hull Kerry leaned forward slightly and asked, "Did the case I participated in attract your interest?"

He's still friendly.

Batman inadvertently realized that Hercule had a similar attitude toward the police, Nygma, Bruce Wayne, and him. But at the same time, the occasional teasing, ridicule, and probing, whether they are kind or malicious, are all included in this excessive friendliness.

This makes it easy for people to think that the friendliness shown by Hercule was completely hypocritical, so that Inspector Bullock's impression of him was very bad from the beginning.

It can only be said that Hercule brought it upon himself, and Batman suspects that he may not be unaware of the disadvantages of this way of speaking.

Batman wasn't here tonight to teach someone about his age how to make friends, so he quickly ignored the question and said, "Tell me what you have deduced."

Hercule didn't mind the other party's imperative sentence, but he still shook his head and refused: "The logical chain is not complete enough. It would be too embarrassing if I said it wrong now."

"You still know nothing about the truth of the incident?"

Hercule couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this simple provocation: "You have full confidence in me. Although I am impressed, I also want to ask, from what standpoint do you ask me?"

The current clues do not include Batman-related clues, and Hercule is curious about how his side missions are connected to the main mission.

Batman was silent for a moment.

He said calmly: "I am willing to do my best to maintain peace in this city."

Hercule suddenly understood and quickly understood Batman's setting. A superhero! Although the concept of "superhero" has not yet appeared systematically in Gotham and even in this world, the detective read a lot of books before traveling through time and could tell a few stories about anything.

Regardless of whether Batman is a self-proclaimed righteous criminal or a truly persistent fighter, it is true that the other party helped him kill the robber before, and Hercule was determined to return the favor, so he said: "There are several inferences. But before that, I want to confirm that the newspaper has never mentioned that you are targeting the Gotham Police Department. You are only planning to clean up the evil on the outside of this city and not the stubborn diseases on the inside, right? "

Batman frowned under his mask. He turned his head and looked directly at Hercule, and his tone was extremely serious: "There are dedicated people responsible for rectifying Gotham from the inside. Forcing the chaos will only lead to greater chaos, and neither law nor order will exist. ——What makes you think this way? As far as I know, you are not from Gotham."

Hercule was stunned for a moment before realizing that Batman thought he wanted to interfere in the city's internal affairs in extraordinary ways.

But what gave Batman the illusion that he was going to be an outlaw? !

Detective is obviously a legal freelance profession, but Hercule is precarious but has no intention of changing jobs. This is partly because of the game system, and partly because of its flexibility. You must know that once he becomes a social animal working for the capitalists, his soul will be trapped in 996 hell and he will never be able to escape.

"You misunderstood." Hercule said sincerely, "I just wanted to ask if there are any irreconcilable conflicts between you and the Gotham Police Department."

Now it seems unlikely. Not only is Batman not on the opposite side of the GCPD, he might even be on the same side with the police. But even if Commissioner Gordon is forced to assign the task of maintaining law and order to the vigilantes, why should the latter trust the former? Even he, who has just arrived in Gotham for two days, knows that the GCPD is internally unstable. A person who needs to conceal his identity must be under greater pressure when he chooses to cooperate with the authorities...

Unless Batman trusts not the police department, but a specific person.

Police Chief James Gordon?

The half of Batman's face exposed to the light of the streetlight remained expressionless, and it was unclear whether he felt the undercurrent of the conversation: "Your inference is related to the Gotham Police Department."

This is an affirmative sentence.

Hercule asked him in advance if he had any grudges with the police department, which meant that the secrets discovered by the detective might cause trouble for the police.

Hercule said lightly: "Yes, I am very anxious to return the favor to you."

Batman glanced at him through the rearview mirror, a little unsure of Hercule's position. It sounds righteous, but it's not completely righteous, and even though it's lawful, it's not completely lawful either. Finally he decided to observe again: "You tell me."

Hercule said no more: "I think the hotel owner Jermaine - he should be a police undercover agent."

They were moving forward slowly and at a constant speed. After Hercule finished speaking, Batman stepped on the brakes without warning. The braking performance of this car was extremely good, and Hercule hardly felt any impact. . He heard the person in the driver's seat ask: "Jermaine? I didn't... no."

Batman stopped mid-sentence and fell into thought. He remembered an acquaintance who worked in a government agency and might indeed be able to do such a thing.

Half a minute later he spoke again: "What do you think?"

Hercule could understand why Batman didn't know. Even if he cooperates with the police, it is impossible for the cooperating party to say everything.

"Most people only know Jermaine as an ordinary hotel owner. But this hotel is located at the transportation hub of Gotham, and there is no shortage of guests even during the day. Without a backer, it will be difficult for him to maintain this business. "

"I heard your conversation with the homeless man." Batman interjected, "You exchanged information about me."

Hercule said frankly: "I thought you were there tonight for this purpose."

In the darkness, the vigilante said nothing, as if it would be difficult for him to admit his intention to cooperate with Hercule.

Hercule thought that if it weren't for his high intelligence, he might not be able to get the idea right.

He continued: "The tramps believed that Jermaine worked for Alberto Falcone, a second identity as the innkeeper, and the well-informed group believed this. The same was true for Black Bond, who and Jermaine Mayne communicates more closely and does not feel that there is a chance of betrayal by the innkeeper.”

"I heard gunshots at noon the day before yesterday and asked Jermaine what happened. He denied knowing. That afternoon, by chance, I overheard Jermaine contacting others. The order I received was to keep an eye on Shania. Fordham will take action if necessary."

Batman wanted to speak, but Hercule raised his hand to stop him, and said in a lively tone: "The large-scale gunfire did not stop the next day. I read the newspaper. Even in Gotham, a firefight of this scale was rare. It’s not that common. The homeless people mentioned that one of the parties may be the police. The police act in a low-key manner and do not reveal their identities. It was also the day when the boss advised my client to leave Gotham or better go abroad.”

"How does it benefit Jermaine to have Shania Fordham leave Gotham? My first thought is that the innkeeper is so in love with her that he loves her so much that he would disobey the orders of his 'gang boss' over the phone. To keep her safe but I soon overturned that - I talked to Jermaine about Shania and her dead husband, Corbin Fordham, whom Jermaine knew and despised. This is consistent with Shania's statement, but he only doesn't love Shania. Love is hard to hide. Maybe Jermaine thought that Shania, as an audience, was not present, so he was slacking off during the performance. "

"He's not cautious enough." Batman said objectively. "For his identity, any flaw can be fatal."

Hercule agreed: "That's true, but 'Jermaine' is very confident in himself. He is a capable person. Maybe he has had smooth sailing in the past, so he is not so sensitive to crises..."

Thinking of the man he knew, Batman agreed with Hercule's evaluation and had a new judgment on the detective's business ability and ability to identify people. In his impression, the number of people who were able to protect themselves from the attack of unknown enemies and collect and integrate clues within three days can be counted on one hand, and they have all become big figures who can influence the world in various fields.

What about Hercule Hugo?

Is this name, face and identity real? What is his purpose in appearing in Gotham?

But the focus now is not here. Batman temporarily gave up the initiative to take the conversation and asked: "Then what?"

"Then I have a new idea," Hercule said, "Could it be that the gang leader changed the order, and I didn't know about it?"
