The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

After Bruce and Lex came to the metropolis, they had to rely on the relationship of the Luther family to open their way. However, Lionel didn't leave anything but the family business.

Money and power are not separated, and the police chief of Metropolis has a pretty good relationship with the Luthor family. Hearing that Lex was interested in this murder case, he handed over all the files to Lex.

However, the police officers did not find any special clues, so Lex proposed to the police chief that he wanted to go to the scene to see, but the Metropolitan police chief felt very embarrassed. He said on the phone:

I'm sorry, Mr. Luthor, we have to conduct a field trip for your safety. I'm afraid...

I think the police station should be short of a new batch of protective equipment, right? With such a brutal murder case, the quality of the police officers' armed forces also needs to be improved. The Luthor family has always cared about the safety of the metropolis...

Lex didn't finish the sentence, but who can't understand this kind of words?

To Lex's surprise, the chief of police still didn't agree, after he hung up the phone, Bruce stood behind him and said, There is a problem, if you use money to open the way, it is impossible for him not to let you take a look at the dead body.

It's okay, we can go directly to the morgue, there is nothing the Luthor family can't do here. Lex replied.

The bodies of both murders are stored in a hospital mortuary very close to the police station, the forensic doctor has not had time to perform an autopsy, so if they go there now, they should be able to see the complete body, and this hospital also happens to be Luther Family sponsored.

However, when the two came to the morgue, they found that there was no corpse of the murder case at all. After calling the morgue's surveillance, the surveillance showed that there was no image of the corpse.

In other words, after the police officers investigated the scene of the crime, they did not store the body in the morgue at all, which is very abnormal.

After leaving the morgue, Bruce said to Lex while thinking: Generally speaking, the police officers will choose the most convenient way to store the corpse. If there is no forensic hospital, the corpse will be stored in the nearest hospital before the autopsy.

If they didn't put the body here, then it might have been sent directly to the forensic hospital. You go back to Luthor Manor to mobilize the surveillance of the crime scene. Tonight, I'll go to the forensic hospital to have a look.

Lex had no objection to this arrangement, he would allow Bruce to come here to investigate the case, he just felt that he could borrow his strength.

Lex's own force value is not enough, and if he encounters a murderer who is too fierce, it will be fine if he stays in Luthor Manor, but if he wants to take the initiative to investigate the case, his safety cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, it is a good choice to use Batman to go out for field investigations. Anyway, the purpose of both of them is to eliminate owls. In this regard, they have common enemies, so they can cooperate.

As arranged by Bruce, Lex began to use technology to obtain the monitoring of the crime scene, while Bruce went to the forensic hospital to find the body.

Bruce, who haunts the night, once again put on Batman's gear. He stood on the top of the Luthor Building, the tallest building in Metropolis, overlooking a city more prosperous than Gotham.

The night sky here is far from being as dark as Gotham, and there are bright lights everywhere. Batman's vision is a bit hazy with this kind of light. He feels that he is not suitable to stay in such a city, and bats should belong to darkness.

However, the temperature of thousands of lights was transmitted to his eyes along with the wind, and the cloak was reflected orange by the warm light. Batman took a deep breath, then glided down, jumped between buildings, and finally came Arrived at the destination.

The new law hospital in the metropolis is relatively remote, and there are only two guards on duty. Batman sneaked in without much effort, but there are still no corpses here.

Batman noticed the weirdness of the whole thing, so he searched all the hospitals in the metropolis, but no body was found. Finally, he came to the home of the Metropolitan Police Chief.

When the sleeping police chief was awakened, he looked at the dark figure standing on the balcony in fear, and Batman stood in the shadows outside the window. He asked in a low voice, Where's the murder body?

I... I don't know... who are you? Don't come here! I'm going to shoot! the police chief screamed.

Batman discovered that the chief of police was actually no stronger than Gordon, and the law and order in the metropolis was so good, it had nothing to do with him. his mouth.

at last. Batman still got the answer he wanted from the police chief, and according to the police chief, the body was missing.

The steps to investigate the scene of the crime are just a few steps, and since the two bodies appeared at the intersection of a relatively busy street, the police had to quickly take the bodies away and resume traffic.

When the first corpse was discovered, because the death conditions were too tragic and it was not convenient for more people to see, after a preliminary investigation, the corpse was disassembled, covered with a white cloth, and sent to the into the hospital compartment.

However, the car did not drive to the hospital as planned. According to the description of the police chief, they finally found the missing car and the stunned police officer in the suburbs. The driver and the body disappeared together.

Later, the police found the real driver who was knocked out in the underground garage of the hospital.

That is to say, the person who stole the body first stunned the real driver, then pretended to be the driver, hijacked the car transporting the body, and finally stole the body.

After such a thing happened, all the police officers raised their vigilance when transporting the second corpse, and a police detective drove the corpse to the forensic hospital, but just as Lex and Bruce arrived While in Metropolis and heading to the hospital, the body disappeared again.

There are not so many people in the forensic hospital, and the security is not complete enough. Someone sneaked in and stole the body again.

Batman, who found nothing, returned to Luther Manor, and Lex did not bring any good news. Standing in the laboratory under the Luther Manor, he said while fiddling with the computer:

The security in the metropolis has always been very good. People here lack awareness of crisis, and there are very few surveillance cameras. Except for a few major intersections, most of the cameras inside the buildings have too many dead spots, and some even have only one on the entire floor. Camera.

I called the surveillance at the scene of the crime, but obviously, that is not the scene of the first crime. The murderer just put the body there, not killed him there.

The question is, how did he put the body there? Bruce asked.

From the monitoring point of view, the body should have landed from the roof of the building. A parachute was tied to the chair that bound the body. The body just fell from the roof of the bank building into the crowd, causing panic.

Unfortunately, the bank building is the tallest building nearby, and the monitors of the other buildings couldn't take pictures of the roof. The only one was a camera, which captured a back view.

Lex showed Bruce the picture, which was a picture of a man in a blue cleaner uniform walking into the rooftop door, but only a very blurry figure was captured, barely able to judge the gender, due to the angle problem, the conjoined body type and Height can't be judged either.

What about the monitoring inside the bank? Bruce asked.

The Metropolitan Center Bank has the most glass curtain walls in the vicinity. They will hire a cleaning company to wipe the glass for them on the 3rd of every month. Since the glass on each floor has to be wiped, the entire building is cleaned. The appearance of the worker.

Through the bank's internal monitoring, a total of 43 people were found. All of them were men, all wearing uniforms and hats, and their size and height could not be judged. In other words, they were all suspects.

Bruce put one hand on the table and said: It seems that this murderer has been prepared for a long time, first read all the actions of these 43 people...

Before you came back, I had already analyzed them all, and I didn't find any suspicious behaviors. At least in the places where the surveillance footage captured them, their behaviors were normal. Lex replied.

If the murderer was going to throw the body off the bank building, he had to bring the body in first. How did he bring the body in?

Lex chose a monitoring screen, played it for a while, pressed the pause button, then pointed to a spot on it, and said to Bruce: ...Look at this box, it is very troublesome to clean the glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings. Specialized tools for working at heights.

Fixing tools are usually very large and have a lot of ropes, so it is necessary to use this kind of big box, transport it to the building one day in advance, and put it in the warehouse in the basement, that is to say, on the 2nd of every month, these boxes will appear in the bank In the warehouse under the building.

As long as the corpse can be packed into these boxes and transported to the underground warehouse of the building in advance, then you can push these boxes to the floor he is going to, and then use the excuse of cleaning the glass to find a monitoring blind spot and throw the corpse away. go down.

Along with Lex's description, Bruce and Lex jointly constructed a scene in their minds.

The calendar turned to April 2, and at around 6 in the evening, one truck after another of the cleaning company drove to the underground garage of the central bank.

Cleaners in blue uniforms lifted large boxes one after another from the car, then moved them onto trolleys, and pushed them into the underground warehouse connected to the underground garage.

The box carried by one of the cleaners was extraordinarily heavy, and blood was oozing from the edge of the box, but the other cleaner didn't notice this detail. The two of them moved the box onto a trolley, and then pushed it all the way into the warehouse. .

On April 3, at around 7:00 am, the central bank officially started working, and the staff bustled in through the main entrance. By this time, the cleaners had arrived at the underground warehouse and pushed out all the prepared utensils step by step.

Wearing the uniform of a cleaner, the murderer pushed the toolbox to a certain floor of the building, then moved out the corpse and equipment in the toolbox, opened the glass, and threw the corpse down.

The screen paused here, and Lex and Bruce looked at each other, and Bruce was the first to speak: There is a problem with this.

That's right, that's the smell. Lex said immediately: If you want to hide the corpse in this kind of toolbox and transport it to the warehouse with the cleaners, it's impossible for no one to smell the terrible smell of blood.

Bruce immediately picked up the notebook next to him, he drew the shape of the corpse, and then pointed to it and said: This wound, and this wound, bleeding a lot, even when he was carrying the corpse, The blood has dried up, but there's no way there's no smell at all.

There are two ways to make the corpse odorless. Lex immediately answered, looking familiar, The first is to use special chemical reagents to treat the corpse, and the second is to use other pungent smells to cover up the smell of blood.

Now that the body is gone, we have no way of checking the first possibility, but if we start from the second possibility, what can cover up the pungent smell of blood?

The two replied in unison:

Cleaner for glass curtain walls.
