Chapter 8: Familiar
There are many legends about Batman circulating in the underground of Gotham, from the occasional glimpse of a piece of clothing and then the rich imagination of people, Gotham has all kinds of legends that belong to him.
Jason always thought that Batman's method of action was to find the target, then follow the target, and then solve the target, so one by one to deal with the crazy underground forces in Gotham. But after becoming Robin, Jason realized how difficult it was to strung together clues that seemed so easy to string together.
Gotham is not a Sim City in the game, there will be no NPC that will inevitably help you, clues will not be very conspicuous and stand out somewhere waiting for you to pick up, and no one will deliberately run to send you information when all the clues are interrupted, all clues must be found by yourself.
After the clue of the scarecrow's poison gas case was completely cut off, there was no information at all, as if the world had evaporated; There's a new kidnapping case popping up, and it's still unclear whether it's the Riddler or the Ventriloquist behind the scenes, and it's naΓ―ve to think that Batman is currently in his hands with these two cases.
This is Gotham, and there's never a shortage of crime, as Jason knows. Originally, Jason was dismissive of the Gotham Police Department, who went to Batman if he had something, but now he knew that the crimes that had to turn on that light were very urgent and assassinating cases, and they were also the first priority that Batman had to solve.
Fortunately, the supercomputer in the Batcave is working 24 hours a day, even when Batman is not in use, it will continue to filter and collect relevant information from the Internet according to the set conditions, so that Batman will look for the information and clues he wants from it at any time.
Bruce wasn't there today, and although he came back from patrol early last night, Jason was still looking for something in front of the computer when Jason was sent to bed. Jason wanted to follow along to see what Bruce had found, but he didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up in the morning, he was already in bed.
"Morning! Ah Fu"
Jason yawned and walked to the restaurant, not at all surprised to look at Alfred, who was busy in the restaurant.
"Morning Master Jason, this is your breakfast"
After sitting in a chair and eating breakfast in front of him for a long time, Jason finally remembered someone:
"Where's Bruce?"
Jason also wanted to ask Bruce what he found last night.
"Master Bruce has an important meeting this morning, and he's gone"
"Oh...."
Jason's eyes moved to the wall clock on the wall, thinking that it must be another bad battle this morning.
This is something that Jason only discovered after living here for a while, and the Gotham babe in front of him has a severe wake-up syndrome. It's right to think about it, the average sleep time is no more than four hours a day, and being able to get up early in the morning without any distraction is also a superpower......
After breakfast, Jason went down the elevator to the bat cave, and when the elevator door opened, the lights in the cave automatically activated, brightening the otherwise dark cave. Jason sat boredly in front of his computer and looked through a few folders that Bruce had created last night, waiting for breakfast to be digested.
There are a lot more contents in the folder than what Jason saw last night, and it seems that Bruce didn't have a lot of gains last night.
This is a new case recently, a boring robbery, this kind of case usually does not alarm Batman, and the Gotham Police Department is not like the police station in the Metropolitan next door. But Bruce didn't know what to find out about this case and began to focus on the investigation.
Jason took a sip of the milk tea in his hand, and looked at the scattered information collected in the folder while rolling the mouse:
The notes in the folder indicate when and an overview of the case:
An ordinary jewelry store robbery, the robbed jewelry store belongs to a large chain jeweler in Gotham, which is a new branch of the store, so in order to attract popularity, the treasure of the town store "Queen Mary" was transferred from the main store. This is a necklace with natural yellow diamonds as the main color diamond and melee diamonds, and the yellow diamond as the main body weighs 205 grams, which is top-notch in terms of light transmittance and color. And of course the main target of this robbery.
Click on a video in the file, this is the video of the nearby surveillance footage, the video of Batman's surveillance camera, far clearer than the video footage released by the police, even the lines on the faces of passers-by can be magnified and seen, and the video has been marked with digital labels.
I clicked a digital tag with the mouse, and immediately opened a file next to it, which contained an analysis note about the character.
For example, this passer-by, numbered two, has a note in his label that reads:
"The eyes are frightened and curious, and the movements are unprofessional self-defense, and they are preliminarily identified as an ordinary person passing by."
Another example is this passer-by numbered five, and the note in his label is:
"Wandering eyes, focus expected to be at the back of the crowd, suspicious"
Jason carefully looked at the passerby who was pasted on top of his head by a number five for a long time, and then used the computer's magnification function to enlarge the image, and after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see that the focus was expected to be behind the crowd, and then gave up.
Instead of looking at Bruce's notes on the passers-by, Jason clicked on the notes of the robbers with black masks on their heads.
The notes of these robbers are not like the notes of passers-by in a few sentences.
On the notes of this No. 1 robber, from height to weight, and even hobbies, there is an analysis, so he almost wrote his name on it.
Jason stared at the "alcoholic" note for a long time, but he couldn't smell the alcohol from the video. How exactly did Bruce determine that this robber was a drinker?
Can't figure it out, next:
Jason clicked on another suspect's note. This one is generally the same as the previous one, so that it does not write about the hobby of alcohol, but mentions the possibility of doing some kind of heavy physical work. What the hell is heavy manual work? Next:
When he was about to click on the third suspect, Jason was suddenly stunned:
"Strange, I seem to have seen this person somewhere"
Jason's gaze fell on the man who was covering most of his body by the third suspect.
The man standing behind the third suspect was wearing a ducktongue felt hat with one hand on the brim, covering most of the man's face. But Jason's attention wasn't on the man's face, but on the hand he was covering his face.
Judging from the action, the man seems to have almost been hit by the third suspect, but judging from the distance, there should be no such possibility.
Jason stared at the man's hand carefully, and he always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
"Master Jason, do you want some milk tea?"
"Ah, Ah Fu"
Jason, who was deep in thought, was suddenly startled by Alfred's voice.
"Scaring you?"
β.... Are you taking revenge on me for scaring you that day?"
Jason's heart slowed down, and he thought Alfred must have superpowers, because you don't know when the empty cup next to you will be filled.
"What are you looking at?"
Alfred was a little strange, he thought that Jason had come down to use the trainer in the underground cave, but when he came down with drinks and desserts, he found Jason sitting in front of the computer looking at something without blinking.
β.... Well... Not sure"
"Not sure?"
β.... Nothing."
Jason couldn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to classify his fleeting familiarity as an illusion and decided to give up on it for the time being.
