Chapter 16: Arriving at the scene

This time the journey was farther, because of the water filling of the underground tunnel, Cindy had to take a detour to the North Ring Road, and when she arrived at the location she had inquired before, it was already early at 1 o'clock.

There was water everywhere in the dark night, and even the boundary between the ground and the sky was blurred, but Sheriff Gordon's brown car could be seen parked on the side of the road not far away, and the taillights were on.

Su Ming and Cindy were going to get out of the car to check the clues, and as for the two reporters, even if they rushed Vico away now, she wouldn't leave. She is still waiting for more fierce news, as well as the 'fight promo' that Su Ming promised her.

Pete was Vico's henchman, and Su Ming didn't think he had the courage to walk alone through the territory of the three gangsters at midnight.

"Can I go down? Make a documentary about solving the case or something? Vico immediately hurriedly put clothes on his body and looked at Su Ming expectantly.

Su Ming felt that it didn't matter, maybe it would be useful if he had video materials?

"Yes, but don't photograph the two of us at the same time, don't shoot Barbara, don't broadcast live. If you play tricks, I will make your life worse than death. ”

Cindy doesn't have a problem with this, anyway, the two death knells are the same for everyone, on the contrary, she still has a sense of peace of mind for the first time in a long time, as if she is with her good friend Holly.

Barbara wanted to go down, but she couldn't move, so she had to stay in the car.

The icy chill returned to Su Ming's body again, and all kinds of emotions instantly left him, and he strode towards Gordon's car, opened the door and checked.

There was a smell of tobacco and coffee mixed in the car, but no blood, and the phone was nicely placed on the dashboard, which showed several missed calls from Barbara, confirming that it was Gordon's.

The car keys were still plugged in and the engine was in neutral, indicating that he had only planned to leave the car for a short time, but an accident had occurred.

There is still half of the gasoline, the battery is also fully charged, and there are no traces of movement in the hood and trunk, which eliminates the possibility of vehicle failure.

So what caused him to leave his car and fall into the trap of the men in black?

"Sue, there's a corpse in the water over here."

Cindy, who went to inspect the surveillance probe, jumped off the telephone pole and made a big splash. Sure enough, there was something like a music player attached to the roadside camera, and she retrieved the equipment, planning to study this technique later.

When she walked towards Su Ming, she found a vague white shadow under the sewage not far in front of the car, and experience immediately told her that it was a corpse.

Su Ming knew that the body was the reason why Gordon left the car, and as a police officer, only this situation could guarantee that Gordon would stop and check at any time.

It can be seen that the people in black want him alive, not dead, which is good news.

Cindy used her foot to pick the body out from under the sewage, the body was already soaked and deformed, the impact of the rain accelerated the breakdown of fat, and the skin looked loose.

The two immediately discovered the cause of death, which was a large amount of blood loss caused by trauma, and the two carried out autopsies on the spot.

As a killer, understanding the anatomy of the human body is a basic skill, and when necessary, there is no problem in acting as a forensic doctor, Cindy goes to examine the internal organs, and Su Ming examines the limbs and head.

"Audience friends, what we are seeing now is the scene of Director Gordon's disappearance, and behind me is ........"

In the distance, Vico was heard recording the show on the camera, she really didn't plan to record the two death knells together, after all, she knew that this should be a kind of bottom line, once the line was crossed, the death knell would immediately turn its face.

The two of them were not affected by her, but quickly carried out their own movements, using the same technique with all four hands.

Thirty seconds later, both of them confirmed that nothing had been missed, and that there were only so many clues to be obtained in the rainstorm.

"Who's going to say it first?" Su Ming smiled and asked, "I don't want to play the game of saying the same thing at the same time anymore." ”

"I'll go first." Cindy stood up and looked around for something, but there was nothing around but the rain: "In addition to this knife wound, the internal organs of the deceased also have some bruise marks, and they were hit before death. ”

"She has a well-developed cardiopulmonary system, and should be a manual worker or an athlete; There was nothing in the stomach, and I guess I was hungry for two or three days, so I think she was executed in a secret prison somewhere, and she was a prisoner. ”

Su Ming nodded, also stood up and looked around, and then said:

"My findings are consistent with yours, the deceased didn't come here by herself, the soles of her feet are very intact, and she won't walk barefoot like this, this is proof of throwing the body."

"Her knuckles are thick, and the first three fingers of her left and right hands have obvious scratches and calluses; The muscles of her limbs are balanced and powerful, indicating that she is a martial artist or swimmer; Defensive injuries to the forelimbs, indicating that there are traces of fixed binding on the wrists and ankles during the fight before death. ”

"Someone tortured her and then executed her."

The two stood silently, thinking, for more than ten seconds, during which only the sound of rain spread between them.

"There are no obvious torture wounds." Cindy said, looking at Vikovali in the distance, the woman acting lovingly in front of the camera as if nothing had happened.

"It could be waterboarding, a kind of punishment called sticking to the officer, covering the face with paper and then watering, which will show signs of suffocation in the autopsy." Su Ming immediately thought of it.

"Where did you hear that?"

Cindy said she hadn't seen this kind of torture, and that they were all popular places like pushing people down the toilet, but that would cause fluid to accumulate in the lungs and appear to be drowning during the autopsy.

"Oh, similar punishments have been popular in all major ancient civilizations, and you can learn them when you have the opportunity in the future."

In fact, it seems from the drama when he was a security guard, but this should be the original creation of the Celestial Empire.

Cindy sighed and shook her head:

"What you think should be what I think, and now the situation is a little complicated."

Su Ming naturally understands, because ordinary people will never be able to reach this woman's physical level:

"Those guys are here too."

"League of Shadow Dancers." X2

The two of them said the same thing at the same time again, only this time, the two of them just looked at the corpse on the ground quietly and did not say anything more.

The Shadow Dancer League Assassins died here, and whoever did it, the Assassins would avenge her, as was the tradition of the ancient Order.

If this was done by the people who kidnapped Gordon, the Shadow Dancers would not have taken the time to tell that they would destroy everything that was alive as a deterrent, and Gordon's life would have been lost.

"How many hours is Nandarbat from Gotham?" Su Ming asked first, he needed to know the time.

"Don't you know? How long is it usually on your side? ”

Cindy was curious, she knew that Su Ming had some things on his side that they didn't have here, did it make people run faster?

As the headquarters of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, Nandarbat is not actually in the south, but in a place of ice and snow, a mysterious place that cannot be recognized by any technological means.

Like Paradise Island, Atlantis, and Mysteries, it seems to be obscured by some force or simply not in the material world.

But the general location, guessing from the Green Arrow series and the Dark Knight trilogy films, should be in Iceland or Greenland, right?

"About seven hours?" Su Ming calculated the location of Gotham, which was about the same if he was on a plane.

"Slow! On our side, in just four hours, you'll find Gotham full of Shadow Dancer assassins. ”

What the heck? Faster than flying? Do they have special hurriing skills?

"It's not something to compare to, is it? Time is running out right now! ”

Su Ming interrupted her angrily, the devil knows why she was so proud, and even the speed of the Assassin League had to be compared.

"Okay, those men in black should be in ambush in the buildings on both sides, let's go see if there are any traces left." Cindy was helpless.

"Okay, I'll go over there."

Su Ming turned his head and left, time was already more pressing, and Cindy shrugged in the heavy rain, she just wanted to show her strength, Amazon women are so attractive, but it seems that Su doesn't buy it?

She walked to the building on the other side of the road, kicked open the door, and went from house to house, as if she wanted to cut something to vent her frustration.

As they left, Vico took Pete to the corpse and began to take a big picture, and suddenly, she felt that she had stepped on something, and then saw the wound on the corpse's waist, and made her smile.
