Carbinsey, who volunteered to come to Roy for help, was also sent to the Gotham Police Station after confirming that the killer who wanted his life was in prison.
But Roy knew that this was far from over.
At ten o'clock in the morning, until the warm sun unreservedly shone on her languid body, Barbara reluctantly kicked off the quilt and got up with sleepy eyes.
Yawned profusely, picked up the watch on the bedside and glanced at it, and then "struggled" on the bed for a while as if she had no bones, and finally succeeded in getting out of bed.
Walking out of the bedroom, it was no surprise that Roy was already sitting upright at the dining table, with a mess of papers spread out in front of him.
As he threw himself into the pile of papers, he casually said, "Morning." β
"When did you get up?" Barbara rubbed her dark eyes, genuinely amazed at how energetic this guy was. They didn't get home until five o'clock in the morning last night, and now he's as energetic as everybody.
"Didn't sleep." Roy said, "I suggest you try it next time, it will help you keep your energy up." β
"Excuse me." Barbara smiled wryly, "Not everyone is as ...... as you"
After a pause, she stepped forward: "What are you studying this time?" β
"A serial case that everyone has overlooked." "We all know that the situation in Gotham is terrible right now, and the police are already overwhelmed, so it's inevitable that there will be some cases that are not urgent for the time being, and they can't take care of them...... For example, this one. β
Barbara roughly scanned the case files spread out on the table.
"The prostitute is missing?"
"Yes." Roy rubbed his hands together and said, "There have been a lot of missing people registered during this time, and according to my combing, these missing people are the kind of prostitutes that no one will notice. The police may have been so busy lately that no one has even noticed that these are obvious things like serial cases. I noticed it though. β
Barbara glanced at the table full of papers and said, "Well, did you get anything out of the nightβor the morning?" β
"Of course." "I traced every person who was registered missing, and noticed that in addition to the prostitutes, there were several other missing women who had been registered as employees of the same company, the Holder Hotel." We'll be able to go there this morning to see if there's anything greasy, and we'll head off when you're done. β
"Uh...... About this ......" Barbara hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Roy, but I can't. β
Roy raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"You know what the city has been going through lately." "Somebody has to step up and do something," she said. β
Roy shrugged, "We've done our best, haven't we?" β
"Yes, but that's not enough." Barbara shook her head, "All of us have done our best, but the city is on the verge of limits, and if it continues like this, things will only get worse." One day, it may even reach the point of no return. So Nightwing has organized a force called Skynet, and he plans to pull all the forces he can mobilize together to prevent Gotham from being torn apart. β
"So you're invited?"
"It's not just me, Roy." "He wants you to join in." β
Roy smiled.
"You know what I'm going to say." He smiled lightly, "I'm not used to this kind of activity. β
Barbara sighed, "Of course, I know. β
"If you want to go, go there." "I'm going to keep following up on this case." However, if you need help, you can always contact me. β
Holder Hotel, lobby.
Kassandra sat on the couch in the hall, sipping a drink through a straw, her bright eyes scanning the hall with a keen eye on what was happening in the hall.
"Do you know what makes a call girl different from the average woman?" Roy, who was sitting across from her and had been observing coldly, suddenly asked.
Kassandra shook her head.
"By their strides, I can roughly tell within ten steps." "It's not too hard," he said. And even among the women who do this business, they are also ranked. Like the one walking through the hall...... See? She's one of the lower grades. Drunk, swaggering for fear that a man wouldn't notice her, and she had no image. Experienced ones are generally more steady...... Just like the one over there. β
He stood up and walked towards a woman in a black suit in the seat on the other side.
Noticing the two approaching, the woman raised her eyebrows.
"How can I help?" She asked.
"Actually, I think so." Roy said, "What I want to know is when did the boss here start secretly arranging for you call girls to pull customers. β
The woman's face changed suddenly.
"I know you're probably going to say something like 'ridiculous,' but I think we might as well get straight to the point in order to save time and energy." "You dress like a serious businessman, but a woman like that doesn't have a thin line on her leg, and you're wearing suspender stockings, right?" And I've noticed that you're glancing at every man who comes into the hall, even the round director from before, an occupational disease, huh? β
The lady was annoyed, and glanced at both of them warily.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a detective consultant at the Gotham Police Department, and we're here to track down cases of serial disappearances." "There have been a lot of strange disappearances of your colleagues these days, and several employees of this company have also disappeared at the same time. I wasn't sure what the connection was before I came, but now that I'm here, I know that the missing employee in this company has the same occupation as the other victims. So I think you're in danger too, ma'am. If I were you, maybe I would choose to cooperate a little to help the investigation and catch the prisoner as soon as possible. Because if you think about it a little bit, you'll see that you're helping yourself. β
The woman bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay...... I must say, I did get scared of it, but DeShaun ...... Our boss said it wasn't a big deal. β
She looked left and right, as if to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, before she lowered her voice and whispered, "What do I know...... As for the boss, I know he has some shady tricks, and even we don't know what it is. But I can tell you a location, maybe the place I overheard, maybe the place he met with someone, and maybe it will help you. (To be continued.) )
