Chapter 35: Clues
Alfred quickly placed two orders, an order for a new car and an order for modifications. Certainly not with blues. In Wayne's name, the gossip media throughout Gotham is a carnival that they will soon come up with all sorts of reasons, some of which are real that even Bruce himself is about to believe.
Considering that the celebrity effect did not do any good to the detection of this incident, he used a middle-aged male pseudonym James who was slightly chubby and had a bit of a Mediterranean bald image to do this.
I drove the new car straight from the dealership to the tuning club, and discussed with these avid car tuners in a standard London accent how to modify the car.
Bruce's appearance aroused the suspicion of the club's owner.
“.... You don't look like someone who loves this kind of thing."
No wonder he is so suspicious, this ordinary middle-aged uncle in front of him, no matter how you look at it, you can't tell that he is a lover of modified cars.
"Just a gift for my son"
Bruce made the excuse he had prepared. When applying makeup, he considered whether it was better to disguise himself as a fan of modified cars or to disguise himself as an ordinary person to compare the price. In the end, he chose a father who was trying to make up for the affection between his son who had a deep generation gap as his appearance.
“.... Can I ask your son what style he likes? ”
Bruce's answer made the person in charge of this modding club relax a little. Modifying vehicles is still somewhat in conflict with the law, and if it's a purposeful guy, then they need to be prepared.
"I don't know, what's trending lately?"
That's why Bruce didn't disguise himself as a modding fanatic, most of the guys who like to modify vehicles have their own unique preferences, although there are also people who imitate other people's cool modifications, but most of the imitation modifications will only be regarded as very out of gear.
He wasn't sure if the club, which was not small in scale and was basically in the leading position in the modification industry, had taken that kind of order, and he wasn't sure if the person in charge here knew about it, if he had asked them to modify it according to the robbed black car at the beginning, it would be hard to say that it wouldn't cause some unnecessary trouble, but if it was a guy who didn't understand anything, he could use the condition that he didn't understand anything to induce the other party's thinking.
"Hahahaha, old man, this statement is really low"
As expected, as soon as Bruce's words fell, the other party unceremoniously let out a mockery, there has never been a so-called pop element in the world of modified cars.
That kind of rotten street stuff will only make these people who are looking for individuality feel cheap.
“... So what do you want it to be?"
It seemed that "James's" embarrassed expression made the young boss feel weak, and finally tried to restrain his emotions for a while, and then started a business negotiation in a proper manner.
“... He loves thrills."
"Of course, all those who like to modify cars will be thrilled, but this car is honestly used to fool those of you who don't know much about it. Don't mind, I'll be honest, the shell of this car is indeed an off-road style, and the main focus is also off-road performance, but in fact, the strength of the chassis, including the main shaft, is simply not up to the level of an off-road vehicle, especially its tires, which are actually just ordinary family car tires. To put it bluntly, it is actually just an ordinary family car with an off-road skin, and it is really self-aware to position itself as an off-road car. ”
The boss did not hesitate to express his contempt for this car.
While the engine does achieve off-road performance, it will only end up making the sedan much more fuel-guzzling.
"If you want to completely convert it into a sedan with off-road performance, I'm afraid you need to make changes to the chassis keel, oh, sorry, you think about it first. I'll go out for a while."
While they were discussing, a staff member outside the window kept shaking his head and attracted the attention of the boss. The boss said politely and left the simple office. After a while, Bruce continued to pretend that he didn't understand anything, let the other party give him suggestions for modifications, and then left the club after accepting all the other party's opinions like a qualified wrongdoer.
[Is this a new order?] 】
[Yes, just came today]
[This car hasn't run at all]
[It's a stupid old man in order to give a gift to his son]
[Oh, so you knocked him hard? This modification is equivalent to remaking the car]
[I don't understand anything, he says okay when I tell him, don't knock on him]
Bruce was sitting in the bat cave, and the computer was coming from the bugging device he had placed at the club today, and the two of them were in the studio at the moment of the conversation.
During the conversation with the boss, he deliberately guided the other party to modify the vehicle to be stronger and more durable, and his purpose was just to test it. But the other party behaved too ordinarily, could it be that he was in the wrong direction?
[Hey, I said you didn't mean to?] 】
[What is deliberate?] 】
[The previous car was changed to the shell, and then you changed it according to the shell of this car, this car is to change the chassis, and you changed it according to the territory of the previous car....]
[It's just that the reinforcement strengthens and unconsciously leans towards that car, the car you know]
[Of course I know, the chassis of that car can be said to be an armored car, and it was disassembled from the armored car]
[Impossible, the chassis of an armored car is so high, how can it be so low]
[Who knows, anyway, I haven't seen any off-road sedan with that kind of strength in the chassis keel]
This conversation was a surprise to Bruce, who was going to change directions, and it was a big surprise.
"Looks like we need to make a trip tonight"
.........................................
In the second half of the night, a man successfully entered the interior of this modding club by moonlight. Several vehicles lined up in the process of being modified, including the one he drove over during the day.
The car was not the purpose of his trip, his goal was the records in the computer in the boss's office.
I walked into the office and turned on the computer, inserted a USB flash drive into the interface of the computer, and soon obtained the highest authority of the computer.
Quickly copy all the data in the computer to the USB flash drive, if this computer is networked, it would be good, he can steal what he needs remotely, but I don't know why this boss didn't give him a brain network for work.
The data was passed quickly, and just as it was about to end, there was a sudden sound of shuffling footsteps in the hallway.
Bruce frowned, a little unhappy that he had rushed in without being sure if there was no one. It was a derelict garage turned remodelling club, and it wasn't usually manned, which he overlooked.
At this time, the owner of the club, dressed in pajama pants and bare-chested, dragged his flattened sneakers from the converted lounge in the attic above towards the toilet, which is a repair shop, so the toilet is only in the corner of the first floor.
"Huh? I forgot to turn off my computer? ”
Passing by his office, which had been simply isolated, the faint light from the glass peeked through.
Pushing open the door and entering, half-open eyes struggled to watch the blue screen flickering in the dark space.
"I forgot to turn off my computer again"
He walked over and turned off the computer, then continued to walk towards his destination in a daze.
