Chapter 1393: Say my name (6)

Even though the relations.h.i.+p between Batman and the police was not that tense in this universe, it was still unlikely that he would stay in Arkham’s main control room and watch surveillance videos with Gordon for one or two hours.
Therefore, while he was downloading the videos, he fast-forwarded them to take a look at the videos that brother Jue had left behind.
Unsurprisingly, when the scene where Feng bujue gestured to the camera flashed past, Batman asked Gordon to slow down the video … And finally, the camera stopped on brother Jue’s smile.
“What does he mean by this?” Gordon looked at the screen and read,”does that gesture mean a bird … Or an Eagle? What is he trying to imply?”
“That’s … Bat …” Batman replied in a deep voice as he unplugged his device from the computer interface (you can think that he had a bat USB). It seemed that the download was completed.”He did this to the camera, which means he wants to invite me to join the game.”
!!
“Wait …” Gordon paused and asked,”how did he know you would see this video?”
“I’ll see it sooner or later. ” Batman replied,”because you’re here …”
Gordon pondered for a moment and finally understood.
Jack’s hand gesture was very common in the hand shadow Game. It usually represented a bird or an Eagle. This was something that anyone could think of. Gordon’s speculation just now was also based on this factor. On further thought,”hand shadow” was a game that used light and shadow, the source of projection, and the source of being projected to create an illusion.
If you think about it further, you will understand … Rather than saying that Jack was hinting at the bat, it would be more appropriate to say that he was hinting at the bat lamp.
a.s.suming that Batman had not come to ackham and watched the video with Gordon, nothing would have changed. At the very least, gaden would definitely be able to see this recording. Furthermore, he would watch it over and over again and a.n.a.lyze it … With gaden’s ability, it was only a matter of time before he could guess the true meaning behind the other party’s hand gesture. Once he understood, he would go to the roof of the police station and turn on the bat lamp to inform Batman.
In other words, when this “Jack” was making a hand gesture to the camera, he had already thought of …”This message is for Gordon” Logically speaking, the police should have seen the video first.
Of course, he had also considered the situation of “being seen by Batman”. There was no difference in the result, but it simplified the process … Because Batman would definitely understand the meaning immediately.
“What is this guy trying to do …” Gordon’s expression became serious. His experience and intuition told him that he had encountered a different and tricky criminal this time.
However, when Gordon asked this question and turned his head, Batman, who had been standing behind him, had disappeared.
Gaden was left alone in the room, as if he was talking to himself.
“Phew …” Two seconds later, Gordon shrunk his neck and sighed helplessly. He said,”compared to you coming on stage … Your way of leaving is even more annoying …”
…………
At the same time, in a certain sewer in the suburbs of Gotham.
Feng bujue was holding an oxygen pipe in his mouth, and he was moving forward at a speed that looked like he was jogging.
When they left the mental hospital, he and Kevin got into the same car and consciously drove away in front of the fugitives who had just been released.
Naturally, brother Jue had already predicted that … The fugitives would be caught in less than half a day. When those guys were arrested, they would definitely be asked the question “how did the person who let you go escape?” By then, at least most of the prisoners would answer in unison that they drove away. If their minds were clear enough and their memories were good enough, they might even say the color of the car and the license plate number.
In this way, the police’s investigation direction would be led to the idea of “the suspect driving away.”
But in reality … Ten minutes after the car left the mental hospital, Feng bujue alighted in the middle of a road that had no surveillance cameras. Before he got out of the car, he even gave Kevin an order to “continue driving in the direction of the metropolis (there are road signs on the road).”
As for brother Jue himself, he used the floating ability of [void step] and ran in the opposite direction without leaving any footprints. In less than ten minutes, he found the place he had seen on the road sign not long ago. It was a swamp. As he had expected, there was a sewer with a diameter of more than two meters.
“Not long from now … The police should be able to find that car.” Brother Jue did not stay idle while he was running. His current running speed was also calculated carefully. It would not cause too much physical damage, and he would have time to react to any sudden situation. He could also spare some energy to think.”Kevin’s time of existence is forty-five minutes. Before I split up with him, half of the time has pa.s.sed. I told him to drive at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour under the premise of ensuring safe driving. Considering that there are almost no traffic lights on the roads in the suburbs … When Kevin disappeared from the car, the car had already driven at least 20 kilometers.
“Taking into account the police’s reaction speed, the time it took them to arrest the prisoner and get the information, as well as the time it took them to get the traffic department’s surveillance and send people to catch up … Even if they were less efficient than I expected, they would have found the empty car in ten minutes at most …”
“Because Kevin suddenly disappeared into a white light, no one stepped on the brakes, so the car would gradually slow down and slide for a distance without anyone controlling the steering wheel and releasing the accelerator. There could be many situations during this process … For example, the car might hit a telephone pole or a big tree by the side of the road due to a slow deviation, or it might hit a car in the opposite direction, or even slip into a River …
“This can lead to many new a.s.sumptions, such as the car being found and driven away by a homeless man pa.s.sing by, or someone calling the police after seeing this abandoned car on the side of the road … But in any case, the police will know sooner or later that I’m no longer in that car.
“Only then will they s.h.i.+ft their thoughts from ‘driving away’ and start thinking about other possibilities … As for how long it will take them to realize that I plan to enter the city through the sewers … It’s harder to say. Just the strange suspicion of ‘there are no signs of the driver escaping around the empty car’ is enough for them to think about it for a while.
“Hmm … If that’s the case, by the time they think about investigating the sewers, I would have already entered the city …”
With that in mind, Feng bujue’s mind turned.”But there’s another extreme case. If ‘Batman’ arrived at the scene and partic.i.p.ated in the investigation … Would he have a chance to catch up with me?”
Brother Jue’s worry was reasonable. After all, in this universe, Batman … Or rather, Bruce Wayne’s wife was working as an advisor at Arkham.
Even if the a.s.sumption that “Batman was monitoring his wife’s daily activities” was ruled out, with Batman’s character, he would at least monitor the police’s communication, right? Therefore, when he found out about the incident in the mental hospital through the police’s communication network, he would definitely rush to the scene as soon as possible to confirm his wife’s safety.
In fact, Batman had indeed done so. He arrived at Arkham earlier than the police. But when he turned on the thermal detection system in his eyes, threw out a hook, and rushed into the main building of the mental hospital from midair … He found that the place had long been empty.
At that moment, police sirens could be heard and the police arrived at the scene. Seeing this, Batman went into hiding and observed in the dark.
It didn’t take long for the staff in the underground shelter to come out by themselves. Because there were several surveillance cameras connected to the shelter, the people inside opened the entrance and returned to the surface when they saw the police arrive.
What happened after that was just like what was written before. Batman waited in the dark for a while and only appeared after the police had completed the preliminary information collection work.
Based on the actual plot, Batman did not get involved in the investigation earlier than brother Jue had expected. He did not follow the car’s route to brother Jue’s drop-off point. To be honest … Even if he was standing at the drop-off point, there was no way to tell that a car had stopped there or that brother Jue had run in the opposite direction.
This was because … Feng bujue did not leave that kind of mark.
The “greatest detective in the world” also needed evidence to make further reasoning. Only a fake detective who had cheated could “tell the whole truth without relying on logical sequence and then use evidence to refute”.
“What?” Just as Feng bujue was thinking, something suddenly entered his sight, and it caused his footsteps to stop.
“What the h.e.l.l?” The next second, he stopped by a wall and stared at the wall that was of a different color from the rest.
In this dark sewer, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to notice this abnormality even with a Searchlight. However, with the help of a flashlight that he had brought with him, Feng bujue managed to capture this detail …
“Thump thump thump thump”
Brother Jue tapped the end of the flashlight on the wall, and he immediately realized that this wall of different color was made of a material that he could not identify. In a sewer made of cement and bricks, the wall was even more suspicious.
“Hmm … The edges are irregular, and there are cracks where it connects to the wall, and …” Feng bujue studied the wall carefully and started to deduce.”This material has seeped in and filled up the cracks …” In less than two seconds, he understood.”In other words … This wall did not exist here, but someone used a chemical that can expand and solidify to seal this place …”
A smile appeared on brother Jue’s face.”So here comes the question … What is hidden behind this wall?”
