Metropolis, headquarters of the Lex Group.

Behind the desk, which belonged to the most senior director, was the blonde-haired, smart-dressed female secretary Moxie — or now Lex Luthor's former female secretary. Lex Luthor had been missing for a while, almost as if he had vanished from the world. With the loss of him, several departments and projects of Lex Enterprise came to a standstill, and as a last resort, the female secretary he trusted the most took over all his work.

Moxie impatiently raised her wrist to look at the watch, the third time she had looked at it since Eric, Roy, and the Bishop had entered. Considering that there was a retro-shaped wall clock hanging on the wall, it was clear that she was sending a signal that she had lost her patience.

"Like I said a hundred times," Moxie frowned at the trio, "Lex Luthor is missing, he's been missing for a long time, and no one in the company has seen him — including me, of course. We all think he's dead now, and if you have proof that he's alive—trust me, there's no one happier than I am. Because I need him very, very much right now to come back and clean up his own mess. ”

Moxie sighed softly as he spoke, holding his forehead and saying, "You can't imagine what would have become of the company without Lex, and no one but him could get this back on track." I've done my best, but ...... Well, all I've done is put things on hold. Now you have no other questions, and no concrete evidence to support your claim that Luthor is still using the company's resources for misdeeds...... Forgive me for continuing to get on with my problems. ”

Although the hot acting CEO used to just follow Luthor without saying a word and be responsible for auxiliary tasks such as speaking for him, he really has the demeanor of a president to deal with people. Although her tone was calm, her tough attitude was non-negotiable, and it was clear that she had given the three of them an eviction order.

Walking out of the Lex Mansion, Eric said, "She's lying, and I'm listening to her heartbeat." ”

"Yes, I can't hear my heartbeat, but it's very obvious." Roy said, groaning for a moment, adding, "Be a little bolder, I can even conclude that she and Luther have met this week." ”

Eric raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How can this be seen? ”

Roy said expressionlessly: "Details." A woman's standing posture and gait can actually roughly determine the time of her last sexual intercourse, which is not that difficult...... For me. ”

Eric gave him a strange look, but finally didn't interrupt and let him continue.

"This woman's whole mind is on her ex-boss, and the high level of loyalty she shows gives me reason to believe that her partner won't be someone else. So I can basically assert that the last time she saw her mysterious boss was within a week. Roy said lightly, stretched out his wrist again, and released the map projection of the circulation of goods through the table-like terminal.

Roy continued, "If Luthor was really working with some other unknown person, then he would never have let his secretary decide the details of the goods transaction on his behalf, and he would have to solve these matters himself." So we now list the circulation records of the design Lex consortium on the map, and then arrange them in the order of development by date......"

Eric stared at his fingers as he raced across the screen, and after a long time, he couldn't help but say in admiration, "They have regularity. ”

"As expected, of course there should be a pattern." Roy said, "No matter where Luthor is, since he wants to play missing, then the communication must be controlled as much as possible, and he will not contact his secretary every three days." If I were Luther, I would also schedule a regular meeting with her to get updates on the company and give her the latest instructions. And as long as we have this time pattern, we can guess the time of their next meeting in advance. ”

"About three days later...... Is it? Eric nodded thoughtfully.

The bishop chuckled, "Not bad. I'm worried that after all this comfort, you'll become a little sluggish. ”

Roy glanced at him coldly, ignoring him. Ratheric remembered something and asked, "It was rumored a while ago that the disappearance of Lex Luthor was your masterpiece?" Because he annoyed you, he was executed by you? ”

The bishop shrugged: "Sort of." ”

Eric scoffed, "Then you really can't handle it well." ”

The bishop was noncommittal, and said, "I really didn't take him too seriously at that time. I pushed him into the blast space, but didn't set the exit coordinates. Theoretically, he could be teleported to any part of the universe by the blast channel, but I think Lex Luthor is nothing more than flesh and blood after all, and there is no way he will survive most corners of this infinite universe......"

Eric sighed: "Okay, you bosses just like to make things troublesome, can you just kill him at that time to have so much trouble?" ”

Joke? Who is Lex Luthor? People have an aura of character comparable to the protagonist, why do you think that if you throw him casually into the universe and don't know which corner, he will be obediently angry?

The bishop was unimpressed: "That's the fun part, isn't it?" If he does have some adventure and comes back to me for revenge, that's not bad. ”

Eric gave him a blank look, and simply stopped talking. In his opinion, this guy is a crazy person, and their thinking is not on the same channel at all, so there is nothing to talk about.

While the two were talking, Roy ignored it the whole time, focusing only on the projection on his wrist, frowning from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

When the bishop saw him like this, he saw something and asked, "Why, detective, what have you found?" ”

"I was just thinking that we might not have to wait two days to find out where Luther is."

"Oh?" The other two approached with interest, "How?" ”

Roy said, "I just tried to inject an oracle into the Lex Group's servers when I was upstairs - luckily this world doesn't seem to be as technologically advanced as mine, so it didn't take much effort for me to get Ms. Moxi's memo." I've just taken a quick look and there are three Lex factories on Ms. Moxie's itinerary that seem to be seen quite more frequently than others...... I strongly suspect that one of them might be the place where she went to meet the unaccounted for boss. ”

The bishop nodded slightly, and glanced at the two of them: "Three places, three of us, sounds just right." ”
