Chapter 26: Harry's whereabouts
Norman Osborne took Rorschach to the top office of the building. It's more of an intimate lab than an office.
It is a full 500 square meters, of which 400 square meters are laboratories filled with various instruments. The remaining one-fifth is where Norman Osborne usually works and meets guests.
Although Norman Osborne has a lot of gaps compared with a super genius like Tony Stark, he is definitely an excellent scientist whose IQ surpasses that of ordinary people, otherwise it would be impossible to design a black technology equipment like a green hat skateboard.
Thinking of this, Rorschach couldn't help but look forward to it a little, wondering if this Green Goblin skateboard could be activated into a robot with the energy of the fire source. If you can, it should be more powerful than Luo Fei and Violet.
But Rorschach thought that Harry Jr. was only five years old now, and who knows if Osborne had started working on Green Goblin skateboarding. If you don't, you can't really say to Norman Osborne, "Take that mask, that's your fate." ”
As he was thinking about it, he saw Norman Osborne press a few buttons on the wall, and then the doors and windows of the entire laboratory were locked, and the partitions that blocked out light and sound fell.
"Well, this place shouldn't be overheard now. Rorschach, now please tell me Harry's news. Norman Osborne said eagerly to Rorschach.
Naturally, Rorschach did not deliberately delay, so he simply took off the tactical eyepiece on his face and handed it to Norman Osborne and said, "Take this." ”
Norman Osborne was a little strange, but still did as Rorschach had said, putting on the seemingly ordinary black-rimmed glasses.
Originally, it was just ordinary flat glasses, but soon a different picture appeared in front of me. A Mercedes-Benz is the special car he prepared for his son.
But the Mercedes was driving on dirty streets that didn't match its expensive value.
The footage in front of me was apparently obtained by intercepting information from an intrusion camera. When the Mercedes is out of camera range, it will take a while for a new image to appear.
It seems that there are not many cameras in this slum-like place, or rather, there are not many cameras that can work.
This car goes inside the Hell's Kitchen confines, probably the most chaotic part of New York City.
This is one of the reasons why Rorschach asked Norman Osborne not to act rashly before. It's useless to call the police in this place, and if the police do, Hell's Kitchen wouldn't kill people every few days.
After a while, Norman Osborne saw the Mercedes stop in front of the entrance to a dilapidated underground parking lot. The driver, the babysitter, and little Harry are threatened by a group of men with guns and get out of the car.
The driver seemed to know the men, kneeling in front of them and pleading for something. It's a pity that in the end, all I got in exchange was a bullet that entered the center of the eyebrows.
Although the picture is silent, Norman Osborne is still terrified. If this shot had been fired at his son, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, it was clear that the kidnappers didn't mean to tear up the ticket right away, but just put Harry Jr. and the nanny in another car, and then into the parking lot.
To Norman Osborne's disappointment, when the car left the camera's range, there was no new footage.
"What's going on?" Norman Osborne asked nervously.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid there aren't any cameras where they went, and the underground parking lot can't be observed by satellite." Rorschach said helplessly.
Violet is indeed very capable, but without a camera, she can't do anything.
After taking a few deep breaths, Norman Osborne calmed down again and said to Rorschach: "Rorschach, since you can keep tracking these people, then you should be prepared, I don't know how to cooperate with me?" ”
"Even if you want to save people, you don't just know the address. In order to ensure the safety of the hostages, the more we know about the kidnappers, the more certain we will be. Rorschach explained.
"But they only called me once, and I also tried anti-tracing, but this is obviously a disposable number, and I threw it away when I ran out, and I couldn't find any valuable clues."
"Did they ask for anything on the phone?" Rorschach asked.
"Not only did he not make a request, but he also gave me time to find a way to save people, saying that it was a guarantee not to tear up the ticket." Norman Osborne said with great annoyance.
Rorschach also frowned, the origin of this group of people did not seem to be simple, and they were definitely not ordinary kidnappers.
"So arrogant, it seems that they are very confident in themselves. And the request is definitely not as simple as money. Since they said give you time, we should take this opportunity to look for more clues. Rorschach suggested.
Some people may think that knowing the location of the kidnapping can easily rescue the hostages. But Rorschach knew very well that he had participated in more than ten hostage rescue operations in his previous life, but the chance of successfully rescuing the hostages safely was less than half of the time.
On one occasion, the kidnappers strapped bombs to the hostages, ostensibly holding the detonating button in their hands. But this is really just a disguise, in fact, the switch is installed in the sole of his shoe.
When Rorschach and the other special operators broke into the door, they had just subdued him. As soon as his foot was off the ground, the bomb exploded.
Who would have guessed that, you say?
Having seen such a sinister opponent, Rorschach would never think that a head-on breakthrough now would have much chance of saving someone back.
As for the information on the investigation of the kidnappers, it is more about finding the kidnappers' requirements and psychological flaws, and seeing if they can use negotiation to rescue the people, which is the safest way. Otherwise, there are so many psychologists and negotiators in the military and police, are they all relatives of the leaders?
"But, how can we find clues in such a short period of time?" Norman Osborne is a bit at a loss.
This is not a scientific study, the results of which can be found through trial after trial, and if any mistake is made, his son's life will be in danger.
"I have a clue that there is a person involved in this kidnapping, and he should still be in the hospital." Rorschach said confidently.
"Hospital? Who is he? ”
"You Osborne, the same security guard who was shot several times by the robbers at the time of the kidnapping." Rorschach said.
"How is that possible? He saved Harry's life. Norman Osborne was surprised.
He did not witness the kidnapping in front of the building, but he also listened to the reports given to him by others. If the security guard hadn't stepped forward, Harry would have been shot.
"Why would he save Harry's life, didn't the kidnappers want to kidnap people, how could they shoot Harry on the spot? Don't you think that's a contradiction? ”
Norman Osborne was speechless in the face of Rorschach's question.
After a long time, Norman Osborne gritted his teeth and said, "Let us now go and visit the benefactor who saved my son's life." ”
