A few days later.

All four detectives have completed their investigations. At this time, they gathered together and exchanged the results of the investigation.

The character of the White Night's investigation was the most critical, and he was the first to speak: "There is nothing wrong with the warden. [The judge] was in a meeting elsewhere when he committed the crime, and there were many people who were able to testify. ”

"[The judge] is not him. And he didn't do anything to help the judges. Even before the showdown in the General Affairs Office, he didn't even know that [the judge] had a relationship with the people in his own prison. ”

As the others nodded, the others nodded and crossed the warden's roster over their list.

Next up is Lady Rose.

"Over the past few days, I've investigated about five prison guards in two buildings. They don't have a problem either. Madame Rose said, "There is no suspicion in these people. ”

"Because [the judges] usually commit crimes during the daytime. This time is either when they work or when they go home for vacation. ”

"Needless to say, the working hours are many. The prison guards are all several people who act together in a group, and there are few times when they are alone. So they simply don't have the time to do what the Judge did. ”

"It's the same with the time to go home and go on vacation, these people have their own families. Usually when they go home for vacation, they will have dinner or go shopping at the mall with their families. All of this proves their innocence. ”

With that, Madame Rose also gave a very concrete piece of evidence.

That's the surveillance footage.

She asked the agents in black to find the [judge] from the outside world, and the surveillance video of the place where these prison guards were located when he committed the crime can be seen from the surveillance video, and they have basically never been alone. It's okay to be with your family in public.

The people investigated by Madame Rose are innocent and have nothing to do with the [Judge].

The same goes for Spencer and Don Juan.

The people they investigated were similar, and there were no problems.

After all the things considered, there is at least one thing that can be determined.

That is, the managers and the staff on duty here are fine.

Their attention can be refocused on the prisoners.

Spencer said to Bai Ye: "Detective Polo, I have a suspicion, but I can't investigate this person myself. Could you please investigate him? ”

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment: "How do you say this?" ”

Spencer began, "He's an old man who works in the library, and he's in his 70s. From the moment I entered the library, he looked at me unpleasantly, and he never paid attention to me when I talked to him, so I couldn't get any useful information from him. ”

"I can only ask you to ask him."

Don Juan said with great interest: "Why don't you come too?" ”

Spencer politely refused: "We have limited time, it is enough to let Detective Polo ask alone, don't waste our precious energy." ”

In fact, he felt that Bai Ye's ability would be a little stronger, and his experience would be richer, so that if Bai Ye asked, it would be more beneficial to the investigation.

If it were Don Juan, they might have missed some key information, which could lead to them potentially letting the real suspect go.

It's not that he has an opinion about Don Juan, it's purely a judgment based on ability.

White Night, of course, did not refuse. He decided to go to the library tomorrow and investigate the man Spencer was talking about.

Spencer reminded, "Be careful, Detective Polo. I know you're strong, but that old man seems to be quite strong. ”

"In terms of his physical fitness, he doesn't look like a man in his 70s at all," he said. ”

"In front of the prison guards, he will deliberately pretend to be relatively slow. The same is true in front of other old people. ”

"But I accidentally noticed that when he was alone, he could walk very fast, even abnormally fast."

Spencer's words made White Night even more intrigued.

"That is, there really seems to be something wrong with this old man." Bai Ye spoke: "What you said...... Make him feel like a gamer! ”

As soon as Bai Ye's words came out, several other people gasped.

If you're a player, it's really dangerous.

After all, this is a prison for death row inmates. What did the player do to get locked up here and sentenced to death?

He may well have killed people, and more than one or two.

Under federal law, only truly serious crimes are punishable by such capital punishment.

Several others persuaded Bai Ye to be careful.

The next day.

White Night went straight to the library while everyone else was working.

This is also a benefit of fixed working hours. At such times, as long as there are no special circumstances, everyone will work honestly.

And if Bai Ye wants to find someone, it will be very easy. Just go straight to where he works.

As soon as he entered the library, Spencer gave White Night a vague look.

White Night looked into Spencer's eyes, and it was a tall, thin old man with gray hair and glasses. It doesn't look like it's taciturn.

But his expression looked very unpleasant. Even if there are glasses to hide his eyes, his eyes are very sharp.

Ruthless.

Bai Ye thought to himself.

Generally, ordinary people will have a lack of energy at this age. Few people can still have such a sparkling and piercing gaze.

The fact that this old man can do this proves that he is very extraordinary.

In order to avoid startling the snake, Bai Ye did not directly open the data perspective for observation.

Instead, he walked to an inconspicuous place behind a pillar, hid his figure, and then quietly turned on the data perspective.

He found out that the old man was indeed a player!

There are traces of prosthetics on his body.

However, the prosthetic body on the old man's body is concentrated in the internal part of the body, that is, the internal organs. He has made a certain degree of transformation of his body, allowing his aging heart to be replaced.

That is, the actual physical condition of this old man is much healthier than he looks. And it's a lot healthier.

Bai Ye frowned.

Such a discovery did not please him. On the contrary, he was a little disappointed.

If he guessed correctly, it proved that the old man was not the person he was looking for.

The degree of transformation of this situation, Bai Ye knew, could not do the things that [Judge] could do.

Because when he was in Huinuo Biotechnology, there were many cyber rover elders, and their bodies were transformed by the company to make them healthier.

With these transformations, it cannot directly improve his combat effectiveness.

The old man in front of him has a combat ability similar to that of a healthy person in his forties and fifties.

Prosthetic technology does not directly rejuvenate them, but can only modify their bodies little by little to make them better.

Moreover, Bai Ye could also see one thing, that is, the old man's body transformation was not completed near the first district. It wasn't done in Night City either.

This is the most critical point, which can directly confirm that the old man is not a [judge].

The prosthetic modification technology in the first area is already very developed. According to White Night's recent observations, the transformation technology here has even developed into the beauty industry.

It's not just about the combat side anymore, it's enough to prove how strong they are here.

It can even be said that the prosthetic transformation technology in the first district is close to the level of Night City.

Needless to say, the prosthetic modification technology in Night City is from here, and all the prosthetic modification technology in the Federation is transmitted from here. The strength is definitely the top.

According to Bai Ye's observation, the prosthetic body of the old man in front of him was basically the level of Hong Cheng when he first started developing.

It's not as good as the level of a big company like Huinuo.

It can be determined that his prosthetic form was definitely not replaced in Night City.

Then the strength is limited.

Bai Ye stepped forward and chatted with the old man in the name of borrowing books.

Although the other party was very puzzled, why the young man did not go to work when he was working, but came to the library. But he didn't care too much, and after a few words with Bai Ye, he was tricked.

From his words, it can be known that the last time [Judge] committed the crime, the old man was sorting out books in the library along with the other old people here. There were also prison guards watching.

Suspicion cleared.

White Night symbolically borrowed a book and walked out of the library.

As he passed by Spencer, he shook his head vaguely.

Spencer immediately understood, understood what White Night meant.

I just don't know why this old man was prejudiced against Spencer from the beginning, and he was even reluctant to talk to Spencer. But that's not a problem for the detectives to solve.

Walking out of the library, Bai Ye crossed out the name of the old man he had just investigated from the list.

At the same time, many elderly people who worked in the library at the time were able to clear their suspicions at the same time.

These people are fine.

After removing the suspicion of these people, Bai Ye fell into a state of confusion again.

I don't know which direction of the investigation should be.

By now, they have been in prison for almost two weeks. Half of the month is almost over.

They suspected that a number of people had also conducted a lot of investigations, but nothing had been found.

This is a very strange thing.

It stands to reason that there are more than 1,000 inmates in the entire Black Reef prison. Among these people, if the [Judge] has been in contact with them, he will definitely be able to find out what is wrong.

But nothing like that happened, as if none of the people they investigated had ever come into contact with the judge.

It's weird.

Unless this [judge] doesn't eat or sleep, how can he not be in touch with the others?

Bai Ye couldn't help but think of the prisoner who had been treated as a "stone" before. That person is a very special person. His appearance is very mediocre, causing others to notice him, and he is also extremely introverted.

But even so, there are quite a few prisoners who have an impression of him.

Because not having contact with others is a peculiar act in itself. The presence of such a peculiar person among these boring prisoners must have received a certain amount of attention.

【Judge】If it's a stone-like person, you'll definitely be noticed.

However, Bai Ye has not heard similar rumors.

He had some headaches.

Back in the health department, sitting in a chair and watching the others work, Bai Ye overhears a conversation between two prisoners.

"Hey, have you heard of it? The sixth child was locked up in a small black room again, and it is said that this time he will be locked up for a week, which is really miserable. ”

"What did he do? Did you mess with the prison guards again? ”

"Nope. I heard that it was a fight with other people and broke someone's nose. After entering the infirmary, after a brief treatment, the kid was locked in a small dark room. ”

"It's a terrible place like a little black room, I've been in it once, and I don't want to go in a second time. I couldn't see anything, it was pure torment. ”

"Don't brag, it's only been three days since you last went in. What's the big deal about this. ”

"I've heard that there have been prisoners who have been in for a long time and nothing happened. Or even simply stayed there. ”

Their words made Bai Ye directly stunned!

Little dark house!

This kind of place is the only place where the detectives and the agents of the General Services Department have never investigated.

Because this place is very different. It was used exclusively to torture disobedient prisoners. It was pitch black, nothing could be seen, and the place was so small that the prisoners who entered could only huddle up and live inside.

This kind of place where there is no feedback and no one to communicate with is the most painful for them. In a normal cell, at least you can talk to other prisoners, but in a small dark room, you can't even do basic communication.

So many of the prisoners were very scared to enter the small dark room.

This kind of place is theoretically impossible to live in, so they didn't even think to investigate this place in the white night.

But what the man just said was that there was once a prisoner who lived in a small dark room for a while?

This directly made Bai Ye have a lot of speculation in his heart!

Perhaps, [Judge] is the one they say can live in a small dark room!

It was because no one bothered him that he was able to do those things. Whether it's investigating or committing a crime, or posting a video, no one will know what he's doing.

Even if he is invisibly forgotten, it is possible.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately stood up and went to the warden's office!

He wanted to see who had been living in the little black house all along!

Soon, White Night met the warden. The warden was also a little irritable at this time, and the detectives couldn't find clues, which made him a little worried about whether the case would not be solved.

It really can't be solved, I'm afraid he, the warden, will be a lifelong warden.

Bai Ye explained his intention, and the warden was a little surprised: "Little black house? ”

"Impossible. No one will live in a small dark house. He said, "Because there is only one little black room." People come in every day to check on them, and no one is there permanently. ”
