In 1989, it was very troublesome to investigate the case, because at this time, many technical means were not so developed, even if the metropolis is one of the most advanced cities in the world, but the number of cameras and dash cams here is not even 1% of the 21st century.

As a result, most of the surveillance images that can provide direct clues are corners.

And because the security situation in the metropolis has always been relatively good, many cameras are useless, so no one spends energy on repairs, and not long after Lex took over the Luthor family, he doesn't have time to install cameras in every corner of Gotham like Bruce, and then spend a longer time to maintain them.

As a result, their approach to detectives is more primitive detective, that is, they investigate on the spot, interview witnesses, narrow down the scope of suspicious people, and finally gather them together and interrogate them separately to find clues from the testimony.

While Bruce was on his way to the field investigation of the three companies, Lex arrived at the police station in the Met, where he was in the surveillance room and witnessed the interrogation of suspicious people by professional interrogators.

Among them were three cleaners, a bank clerk, a doorman from Pylo, and a guard near the bank president's villa, including all the last witnesses, as well as the first witnesses to the crime.

The police station in the metropolis is much wider and brighter, there are no mottled faint marks on the walls, and even the interrogator is relatively friendly, and he uses the expertise he has learned in school to repeat certain questions in order, so that the interrogator recalls more details.

Lex was in the monitoring room in the backyard, sitting with the police chief, he turned to the police chief and said, "This damn murderer caused the Luthor group to lose a big order, and the president took my money and died, I will not let this murderer go." ”

"Mr. Luther, don't worry, there is such a bad case in the metropolis, I am afraid that it has already attracted the attention of Congress, and there will be more professional personnel to take charge of this matter."

"I just want results." Lex said expressionlessly, "The Luthor Group wants every investment to pay off, if there is no ......"

Lex turned to look at the police chief, who knew what he was talking about, because he had also taken money from the Lutor group, and if he couldn't help the Luthor group settle the matter, Lex had a way to make him look good.

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, the footsteps were very calm, and the gap between each step was very even, which showed that the comer was well-trained.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door, and the police officer standing by the door opened the door, and a heroic female policeman walked in, she first shook hands with the police chief, and the police chief introduced to Lex with a smile: "This is Detective Angela Dodgson, a metropolitan native, who has been traveling around police stations before, and has solved several serial murder cases, and I specially invited the right-hand man." ”

Seeing Lex, the female police detective known as Angela frowned, Lex's appearance was just a teenager, and he didn't look like he should be here, and the police chief hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Luther, who has contributed a lot to the work of the Metropolitan Police Department." ”

"The bank president who was victimized this time was his friend, and there was a cooperative relationship between them, so he was also very worried and offered to come here to see ......"

"You should know that the backstage of the interrogation room of the police station is not just anyone, right?" Angela showed no mercy, she turned her head to look at the police chief, but the chief took a half step back, smiled a little awkwardly, and said, "I'll send him out." ”

After he took Lex out, he sighed and rolled his eyes, and Lex asked him, "Why are you so afraid of her?" You're the chief, she's just a detective, what can she do to you? ”

The police chief hurriedly looked left and right, motioned for Lex to be quiet, and said, "You don't know how powerful this female detective is, she is a well-known police detective who specializes in tracking down serial murderers." ”

"Star City, Rushing City, Central City...... She has been present in all the big and important cases that have occurred in recent years, and if there are any serious and important cases in various places, she will be invited over. ”

The Chief of Police sighed and said, "Mr. Luther, I know you have high hopes for me, but the Metropolitan has been peaceful for too long, and my subordinates and I have no clue about this serious case, and we don't know when we will find out if we don't invite a professional to come." ”

Lex also sighed, and said as he walked out with the police chief, "This business is the most important business since I took over the Luther Group, and now that I have been hit by a blow, I am under a lot of pressure. ”

The police chief tapped him on the shoulder, and then he heard Lex ask again, "I heard that the second victim is the female owner of the Pyro company, I have heard of this company, their family specializes in the production of chemical raw materials for detergents, what's going on?" Is there any connection between her and the president? ”

The police chief shook his head and said, "It's not about the new chemical plant, haven't you heard about it before?" Snow Mountain, as well as many cleaning companies near the metropolis, have placed large orders for Pyro Company, but once there are too many orders, the production capacity is not enough, so Pyro Company wants to build a chemical plant in the western suburbs of Metropolis. ”

"You know that place, right? It was originally a psychiatric hospital, and the Pyro Company bought the land, and the loan was approved, and it was ready to be rebuilt, but who knew that the boss suddenly suffered a catastrophe......"

The police chief shook his head, looking very sorry, but Lex silently jotted down the information, and after coming out of the police station, he returned to the laboratory under Luther Manor, and at this time, Bruce was already waiting for him in the manor.

Bruce plugged an information storage device into the computer's interface, and inside was the clue he had obtained from his investigation.

While playing the pictures and text, Bruce explained: "I went to the Snow Mountain Cleaning Company first, and the company's defense system is even more lax, there are only three cameras in the whole company, and two are broken, and the monitoring room is completely furnishings." ”

"Moreover, among the nearly 2,000 employees of their company, more than half of them are cleaners, because there are too many people, so they are not familiar with each other, and the work is divided into the working group inside the building and the working group outside the building.

"So, if a stranger sneaks in, it won't be detected?" Lex asked.

Bruce nodded and said, "Their drivers and technicians and so on." They all wear the same uniforms, and it's easier to pretend to be drivers or technicians, because the employees of both professions don't have a fixed group and don't know the cleaners at all. ”

"There is nothing wrong with Snow Mountain, I investigated their accounts, as well as the financial situation of the leadership staff, and everything is normal." Finally, Bruce concluded.

"As for the Pyro Company......," Bruce paused, "and the rest of the places are the same, but they don't have a single camera, and there is no way to investigate how the murderer transported the body to the roof of the building and threw it down." ”

"However, when I investigated their accounts, I found that their orders have increased sharply recently, and many cleaning companies represented by Snow Mountain Company have purchased raw materials for detergents from them."

"To do this, they applied for a loan from the Central Bank to renovate the western suburbs of the metropolis into a new chemical factory." Lex followed Bruce's words.

The two paused at the same time, and then, Bruce spoke again: "All the clues eventually point to this deal between the bank, the Pyro Company, and the Snow Mountain Company, and this transaction eventually points to the chemical plant that is about to be built, and the chemical factory points to the psychiatric hospital. ”

"If the murderer is going to lead us to that mental hospital, then what's there?" Lex asked.

"Take the things, let's go and see together, I guess there should be a secret hidden there, a secret that makes the murderer even take a huge risk to commit the crime many times."

The car sped through the night of the metropolis, through the bright lights, and then drove all the way to the dark countryside.

There was a slight sound of brakes, and Bruce got out of the car and said, "Your car really sucks, it's rotten." ”

Lex also stepped out of the car, glanced at his luxury car, and couldn't help but think back to the Batmobile that Bruce drove earlier.

He rarely didn't refute Bruce, but just thought that he must get a car like the Batmobile in the future, this kind of luxury car is okay to show off his wealth, and if he really wants to talk about practicality, it will never be comparable to the Batmobile.

Batman walked a little further, and he looked down at the mud under his feet, the soil was exceptionally moist, as if it was too rich in groundwater near the sea.

Walking further on, the psychiatric hospital came into view of the two of them, this hospital seemed to be built for a short time, it was relatively new, and now except for a few windows that were lit, most of the windows were pitch black.

As soon as he approached the hospital, Bruce noticed that something was wrong, he stopped Lex's movements, and said, "Look there, guards with guns...... This is not normal. ”

"A psychiatric hospital in a remote suburb. How can there be more security than the bank and corporate buildings in the city center? Bruce narrowed his eyes and looked at the asylum, and he said to Lex, "Let's go, let's sneak in through the side door." ”

At the same time, Angela, a female police detective who was waiting in the interrogation backstage monitoring room, heard a series of rapid running sounds outside the door, and with a "bang", the door was pushed open, and a police officer rushed in and shouted, "...... The third three! Third Murder ...... Snow Mountain Company ...... Fast! ”

Angela immediately touched the gun on her waist, loaded the gun, and quickly rushed out of the police station, got into the police car, all the way the police lights flashed, accompanied by the piercing siren, the police car stopped in front of the Snow Mountain Company Building.

At this time, a figure sat in the middle of the road in front of the door, still without arms, and the upper body was still fixed to the back of the chair by wire.

The police rushed out of the police car and surrounded the vicinity of the corpse, Angela got out of the car and walked towards the corpse quickly, but at this moment, everyone saw that the corpse suddenly moved.

Angela immediately stopped, held her gun in both hands, and slowly approached there, until she reached the bottom of the steps in front of the gate, and she saw that it was not a corpse on the other side who had lost her arms and was tied to a chair, but the man was still alive.

His mouth and neck were propped up and stuffed with stuff, and his lips were sewn with wire.

At this time, his face was blue and purple, as if he was suffocating, his abdomen was swollen very high, and something seemed to be moving in his stomach.

He struggled in great pain, and there was a "hehe" sound in his throat, Angela immediately walked up quickly, trying to save people, but when she got close to the man about a meter, the man's stomach suddenly exploded.

Flesh splattered out, and landed less than ten centimeters in front of Angela, obviously, the other party was very precise in controlling the distance, and there was not a single trace of blood splashed on the detective's body.

When the abdominal cavity exploded, Angela clearly saw that the foreign object that made the victim's abdomen bulge high was countless mice.
