After hearing John's words, it took several seconds before Elide sneered and raised one eyebrow.

"Since the days of Bruce's great-great-grandfather and even before, the Wayne family has been committed to building Gotham City, and every dollar they spend is to make the city better-you think Batman will Make Gotham better?"

"I'm not sure about that," John spread his hands when he heard the words, "But you also said that Batman catches bad guys and saves good guys. Is his existence a bad thing for Gotham?"

"...After all, most people think that the psychopaths in Gotham City are attracted by Batman."

"Do you think so too?" John still had that half-smile.

Of course Elid doesn't think so. Bau has seen so many perverts, psychopaths and serial killers that ordinary people can't imagine. Does everyone have a "Batman" as a source of stimulation?

Evil will always exist. For Gotham, without the existence of Batman, things will only get worse, and it is absolutely impossible to get better.Blaming Batman for all the crimes done by the criminals in Gotham is like blaming others for all your failures. It is the most cowardly and evasive behavior.

"...Of course not, those two things are unrelated. No one can definitively prove that Batman made Gotham better or worse, and the Bruce I know, would like something more... how should I say it works. Obvious investment."

"For example, the renovation of old cities, the construction of subways, or the establishment of various foundations."

The conversation has actually reached a deadlock so far. Whether it is Elied or John, they both want the other party to give in, but they also understand that the other party cannot be changed by their own words.There was a moment of silence between the two, and neither of them continued to speak.

In the end, it was Elide who broke the silence:

"Actually, I'm talking about something else. You know Batman from Gotham, and you know the Flash from Central City and the Arrow from Star City, right?"

"Did you ask me to come out to discuss these 'urban legends' and 'vigilantes'?" John could not help but smile when he heard this.

"Yes, but it's not only that. These people are a symbol, a symbol, someone who is willing to give himself in exchange for a better life for more people - just like 'The Man in the Suit'. The only difference is that these heroes have their own or in other words, uniforms? And the 'suit man' just positions himself as an ordinary person in the sea. No one will find him, no one will notice him, he hides himself in the crowd, doing silently the work of heroes."

"I don't know how the 'suit man' found those victims. I guess it is a very complicated job that requires strong technical support. However, if the 'suit man' and his companions really mastered the Some kind of fantastic way to be able to know that crimes are happening earlier than anyone else ... they actually have better and more efficient options, and they can work with more people."

At this point, Elide paused slightly, then raised the corners of her mouth, nodded to John with a sly smile:

"I have some personal connections and can introduce you to meet certain people, if you want...you have my number."

After saying these words, Elide reached out and patted John's chest, and got closer to him, smiling more meaningfully.

"Don't worry, John, this is a blind spot for surveillance. What happened just now will not be seen by anyone."

>>>>>

In the end, Elide ran back to the meeting room of the Major Crime Squad and helped Hodge finish the last bit of work.

After work was finally over, it was already dinner time. With a particularly innocent smile on her face, Elide invited Rossi to have dinner with them, and the old Italian fox of bau spoke in a high-pitched voice that was as exaggerated as a stage performance. Chanted "I'm so touched!~"

Then she rejected her proposal, and by the way recommended a nearby Italian restaurant with "excellent taste".

Rossi seemed to dislike that the teasing atmosphere in his words was not obvious enough. When the three of them broke up at the main entrance of nypd, he specifically told them-"Enjoy your dinner and don't talk about work during the meal." things."

The senior said so, and the two of them naturally couldn't waste his painstaking efforts.In the next few hours, they did not discuss the case or analyze the psychology of the unknown suspect. Of course, Hodge did not take the initiative to ask Elide what she was doing when she slipped away alone.

They were just like all the couples who came out on a date, tasting delicious food, teasing and chatting, kissing each other, and walking hand in hand on the street illuminated by neon lights as if it were daytime.

At about 11:30, bau's connecting flight landed at the airport near Quantico.The whole group yawned and said good night to each other. Jennifer held up her mobile phone to find Hodge. Jack is still staying at her and William's house. According to William, the two little guys have both gone to bed obediently.

When Jennifer conveyed this meaning to Hodge, she didn't even try to hide the gossip-like teasing smile on her face called "So you two are free tonight!"

Since there was no need to take Jack home to sleep, Hodge went to her house with Elide as a matter of course. By the time they drove away from Quantico, it was almost midnight, and the whole city was as silent as an empty city.

Such a quiet environment is of course suitable for talking about "business" that requires brains.

There is indeed nothing to talk about in this case. Everyone knows that this is not a traditional "bau-style case", and it is John who breaks the tradition.Hodge didn't know what the others in the bau were thinking, but he had every reason to doubt John's identity, and similarly, Ellie probably thought the same as him.

Oh no, that's not just an "estimation". Elide left alone at the time, and probably went to find John.

"...how was your chat with John?"

"There's no point in probing each other." The driver was Hodge, and Elide naturally leaned comfortably on the passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest. She didn't open her eyes at the moment, "I guess you can see that too. Now, that guy John is probably the 'man in the suit' nypd is looking for."

"Actually, I'm only [-]% sure," Hodge said with a smile, "However, it seems that you are much more certain than me."

"Oh no, in fact, I'm only [-]% sure... eh, or [-]%? It's not illegal to be blind." Elide nonsense seriously, "He didn't answer me directly, but I already know the answer."

Of course Elide is more than [-]% to [-]% sure. If she was only half-believing before, then after handing over the matter to Bruce aka Batman, she quickly got the unmistakable "inference result".Not only that, Bruce also deduced how John and the others identified the victim, or in other words, he found several different possibilities, each of which has similar connections and subtle differences.

But the core remains the same. He guessed that John's partner, or the financial backer and technical support, had some way to connect to New York's city-wide surveillance system, and through some algorithm—even artificial intelligence— Sift through countless images and audio to find the victim they are looking for.

Sounds like a...frightening system.

If this is true, the people most threatened must be superheroes who need to hide their secret identities.

Of course, these things don't need Elide to worry about, she is 100% sure that Bruce will handle this matter properly, maybe he will find a chance to have a good "chat" with John's companions.Besides, Lucius of the Wayne Group's Applied Science and Technology Division is also a fan of artificial intelligence. There are still many systems in the Batcave that he helped upgrade!

However, to this day, Lucius is still able to pretend to be a loving elder, "Bruce, you don't always go out to play extreme sports!" This kind of powerful pretending skills for more than ten years... Yili Germany is simply admiring five body drop.

Elide was still thinking with her eyes closed, and Hodge beside her had already laughed softly. His voice became deeper and softer, echoing in the car, as touching as honey.

"What else did you say?... Are you asleep?"

"Of course not," Elliott said as she opened her eyes and looked at Hodge for a moment, "I won't let you drive all night by yourself."

"It really touched me," the smile on Hodge's face deepened, and even in the dimly lit car, his smile still had a bright warmth like sunshine, "However, you really You can take a break, there are still 10 minutes."

Yi Lide closed her eyes again as she said, and she didn't forget to say a few nonsense words: "Why, rest now, and recharge your energy for the next activity?"

After the two confirmed their relationship, Hodge had long been used to Elide's way of speaking in private, and now he just smiled slightly and didn't give an answer.

Elide fell asleep very quickly, which is probably a sequelae from military life. They can always fall asleep in the shortest time, seize every minute and every second of time to rest, and... in their sleep, they can also fall asleep. Will stay alert.

Thinking of this, Hodge slowed down the speed of the car a little, and controlled the car more and more smoothly. It took him about half an hour to reach the parking lot downstairs of Elide's house.After he put the car back into the parking space, put it in gear and turned off the engine, Elide still leaned on the car seat with her head tilted, as if she was asleep.

Hodge cleared his throat, and waved his hand in front of her twice, while Elide remained in a sleeping position.After a little thought, the man put out his hand and pinched Elied's nose with a malicious smile.

The young woman immediately screamed "ah", she suddenly stretched out her hands in an attacking motion, and after a moment's delay, the hands that were originally aimed at Hodge were finally wrapped around his neck.

"...You really scared me to death, did I just fall asleep?"

"Falling asleep, and sleeping soundly," Hodge also put his arms around Elied's waist, and in the small driver's seat, the two people who were already intimate were sticking closer together, " Next time I will consider a different way to wake you up."

Elide rubbed her head against Hodge's shoulder, her voice sounded muffled:

"...Probably because you are by my side."

She's a warrior, a member of the Bat-family, someone who can wear a uniform and fight gunmen in the dark.She sleeps lightly and has trouble falling asleep, and is on the alert every day—because that's what Bruce and many, many others have taught her to survive.

She can only truly relax around those she believes in with all her heart.

Like Bruce, like Alfred, like Dick, of course like...

Her hero and lover, Aaron Hotchner.

"Did you ask me just now, what else did John and I talk about? He said that we are being watched all the time. Some people or things that are not people can record our every move and listen to our every word and deed."

"He also thinks Bruce is one of Batman's patrons, what a ridiculous statement, isn't it?"

When Elide said this, she suddenly felt that Hodge's body froze. She let go of her hand in surprise, raised her head, and looked at the face in front of her:

"Why, don't you think so too?"

"Actually," Hodge looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, I have this kind of... Well, how should I put it, I have an idea. Batman has saved Bruce's life several times, I think... there is always something in between. There are other reasons."

"Is the simplest reason money?" Elied suddenly laughed as she said, "You're right, the connection established by money is indeed simple and stable, but I don't like this kind of relationship."

"I've always had a lot of money, so I aspire to something more - a complex and deep connection."

As the woman spoke, she moved closer to Hodge, and stared at the other's light brown eyes more seriously. The distance between them was so close that their noses had already touched each other, and the eyes could only reflect the other's face.

"I yearn for you more, Aaron."

In the next second, Elide kissed her deeply. Their lips and teeth were attached to each other, biting each other's lips, sucking the air in their mouths, and using their lips, tongue and teeth as weapons, they attacked each other's territory.

At the same time, Elliott reached out and pressed a button, so that the seats under the two of them were all reclined flat. When the kiss finally ended, she reached out and grabbed Hodge's tie, and then pushed him directly to the ground. On the seat, he smiled very complacently.

"Remember what I just said, Aaron? There is 'someone' watching us all the time..."

"Do you want to go upstairs now? Or stay here . . . eh?"
