Cobot was brutally thrown over his boss's table and hit a glass wall in his casino like a big bird. ↑，

Roy pinched his throat and pinned him to the ground: "Recently, a group of mercenaries have been operating in Gotham, and they are working for a man called 'Fallen Knights'. Coincidentally, their recent actions have taken a heavy toll on your potential opponents. Tell me, did you direct the Fallen Knights'? ”

Colbert gritted his teeth and said, "Are you in the wrong head?" I want to weaken my competitors, how can I use such a simple and crude method without IQ? I bet those idiots now think I did it, we can't hide from a war, do you think I want to see that? ”

"Who did that?" Roy asked.

"It's funny, I happen to be curious about the same question." Copote's fierce gaze was like a bird of prey, and he snorted, "When I find this guy who is clever and blames me, I'm going to eat him alive!" ”

"You're one of the pinnacles of the city's crime scene, and you have eyeliner in every corner of the city. Do you expect me to believe that you don't know anything about this guy trying to target you? ”

Copote snorted: "Believe it or not, this guy is indeed a little clever, and I haven't been able to catch him so far." However, someone in my department did find the address of a server that may be related to him, but this server has first-class encryption, and we still haven't cracked it. Of course, I'll be happy to share it all with you, and I wish this guy would send me to jail tomorrow so I could send someone to his cell and skin him! ”

Roy and Batgirl looked at each other.

A few hours later, the winged knights stronghold.

Barbara let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back in her chair, and stretched.

"It's finally done." "I'll admit, this server is a real hassle to crack -- oh, it's worse than the firewall in the Batcave," she said. Anyway, though, I went in. ”

Roy asked eagerly, "What's the clue?" ”

"Let's see, here's the Fallen Knight's entire network of funding paths." Barbara said, "She used 'Karis?' The account in Kearns' name, and the fact that it acts as a hub that funds all the activities of the Fallen Knights, seems to be conclusive evidence that will keep her in prison. ”

"The premise is that the mystery man doesn't let the evidence disappear again." Roy said, "To catch Karis, we have to find out the person behind her back, just like to Culmin?" As with Falcone, only if the drug lord himself temporarily squatted in first, we could operate outside to prevent him from opening the joint and being acquitted. ”

"Oh, there's another clue that could be very useful." Barbara said, "The detailed locations of all the militia strongholds in Karis are here, so we don't have to go through the streets and interrogate them one by one. ”

"But if we alarm one of them, all the other strongholds will be moved to their new locations." Roy said, "To cover all of these strongholds at the same time, you need manpower, a very large number of manpower. ”

At this moment, his cell phone rang. Answering the phone, Director Gordon's voice came from there: "Shooting, come over now, you may be interested in the suspect this time." ”

"Who?" Roy asked.

"Penguins." Director Gordon spat out two words faintly.

The deceased was also a powerful gangster during his lifetime, and his power in Gotham City has been rooted since the time of Falcone, and he has survived to this day, and has an incredibly strong foundation. With strength, of course, he is not willing to be inferior, so he and Cobot are also very wrong.

And now, the big man is in his own home, lying on the fluffy carpet, blood oozing red in his dressing gown. His eyes widened, and he clutched a pistol for self-defense, but it seemed that he had not been able to fire a single bullet.

"It's almost certain that it's the penguin." Gordon told Roy, "There's a lot of evidence at the scene pointing to him. ”

Gordon pointed to the victim and said, "The results of ballistic analysis show that the murderer is only about half the height of the victim, which is rare for adults of such height." And as the suspect with the most motive to kill the victim, the penguin happens to be that height. However, this is only a suspicion, and the most decisive evidence is here. ”

He led Roy and Barbara to the wall, pointed to the wall and said, "We got a penguin's fingerprint here." At the same time, our technicians have also tested it, and the fluorescence on the wall is proof of the gunpowder reaction. So it's almost certain that this case is a gangster conflict, and the Penguin is supposed to be the murderer. Now, the only problem"

He looked at Roy with an inquiring gaze, "Isn't it going to be too easy?" I mean, the case seems a little too clear, and my gut feeling is that there's something wrong with it. ”

Roy stared at him for a moment and said, "No, sometimes it's that simple. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”

"Well, actually, I thought so too." Gordon said, "I'm going to get a subpoena right now, I'm going to get Cobot right away." ”

Director Gordon walked away. Barbara glanced twice in the direction of her father's departure and whispered to Roy, "Do you really think penguins killed people?" ”

"What do you think?" Roy asked rhetorically.

"I don't know." Barbara said, "Copote's always been very careful, and he always asked his subordinates to do this kind of work, so it always felt that something was not quite right." ”

"Sometimes, you have to trust your instincts."

Roy said, pointing to the ballistics to analyze where the killer fired the shot: "The police think it was someone who happened to be Colbert's height who shot him, but I think it was just the killer who wanted others to think so." ”

He crouched down and pointed to the shallow circular depression in the carpet: "See this?" ”

"What is this?" Barbara asked.

Roy said, "I believe there was once a chair here. The killer sat in a chair and shot in an attempt to make it appear that the person who fired the shot was only Copote's height. The recoil of the murderer sitting in a chair and his weight left such marks on the carpet. It's easy to prove, just monitor all the chairs in the room to see if any of them have gunpowder reactions on them. ”

"What about fingerprints?" Barbara asked.

"It's possible that the murderer faked it." "It could also be that the killer somehow tricked the penguins into coming to the scene." Either way, he had a slight omission, and that was that the penguin's handprint was printed after the shot, and the penguin's palm was wiped off some of the shooting residue when it was printed on the wall, so the fluorescent reaction on the wall was slightly mutilated. ”

"In that case, why didn't you tell my dad that the murderer wasn't Colbert?"

Roy shrugged: "We all know that Colbert has broken a dozen laws, but we haven't left any evidence against him. If someone has forged evidence, why should I clear his name? ”
