Three-stream detection simulator

Hercule then raised his head and observed the visitor carefully. He is about thirty years old. The most prominent feature of his appearance is that he is short and fat and has a distinctive beak-shaped nose. Hercule's eyes swept across the round lenses in front of his eyes, feeling that he had heard of this face somewhere.

"Oswald Cobblepot." This man took the initiative to shake hands with Hercule, and even tiptoed secretly because of his lack of height. "You may have heard of my last name, but my family is in a state of decline. Those glorious past It has nothing to do with me anymore, I am an honest businessman now.”

Hercule asked noncommittally: "Then how come you had a conflict with the prosecutor?"

"It's a long story." Colbert said, "As a detective who has a good relationship with superheroes, aren't you unwilling to meet me in the city? Gotham is a city...it's a bit magical. " He took a deep breath of his cigar and said with a half-smile, "My brothers and relatives have died in accidents. In the past year, Black Country's activities have decreased, and business has become increasingly difficult. You heard about Will. The case of Jinsen Technology Company?”

"Have heard a little bit."

"Yes, who doesn't know about Prosecutor Dante's great achievements? But this matter not only involves a technology company, but is also linked to the power of the Irish. What about those Irish people? They are fighting against the established forces. I also heard He told some inside information about how the prosecutor fished for law enforcement and that the Irish were being tricked. In order to cover up the evidence, Wilkinson personally strangled his deputy, chopped up his body and mixed it into the pork slaughterhouse... Really Whether it’s true or false, I can’t tell.”

Colbert shook his head with emotion, and suddenly looked at Peter next to Hercule, "You haven't introduced me yet, who is this kid?"

Peter panicked and wanted to push the hat down on his head. The detective patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly and said in an obviously protective manner: "It's my friend's child, and he asked me to take care of him for a few days. Will it affect him?"

"Oh, no, I don't mind." Colbert moved his cigar, no longer looking at Peter with interest, and continued, "Where did you just talk? Wilkinson... don't worry, detective, I'll tell you soon. It’s time for my commission. But before that, I want to introduce my business. I am currently working on some completely legal things, such as industrial parts and imported manufacturing finished products... all of which are licensed by the government. Certificate.

But just some time ago, Wilkinson came to see me. "

Hercule raised his eyebrows: "Times have changed, and this is not a good thing at the moment."

"Of course, people like you, the detective, will definitely be able to discover the risks early." Colbert complimented him, "But I am not a far-sighted person, and I have never thought that Wilkinson would break the law. He invited me to discuss business, and I happily went to the appointment. He described his company's products in such a glowing way that I believed him without even thinking about it, and planned to get involved and share the profits from this huge piece of cake——"

Before Colbert could finish speaking, Peter interrupted him and said hurriedly to Hercule: "This is definitely 'out of time'."

Colbert was still confused, and Hercule laughed: "It's okay, let's listen to it again. Mr. Colbert, please speak."

The short, fat man's gaze turned to Peter. A sharp look flashed across his small eyes on his aquiline nose, and then he calmed down again: "I know a little bit about the name and deeds of Hercule Hugo. I dare to entrust you with Mr. Hugo today because I can swear to God that I did not have time to collude with Wilkinson. Whether you are investigating me or Lawrence Wilkinson, you will not be able to find anything about my crime. There are no clues, unless someone makes it up.”

Hercule said gently: "I have no doubts about your intentions."

"It's my statement that can easily cause you doubts."

Colbert seems to be very talkative,

"The truth is, Wilkinson and the Irishman fell together before I even had a chance to dip into the muddy waters. People say that it took a lot of cooperation between the prosecutor, our urban legend Batman, and the Gotham Police Department." Under this situation, criminals will never have a chance to make a comeback, but some people say that Harvey Dent bites so fiercely because he has the leverage to fall into the hands of the Irish. Once he relaxes and gives the enemy a chance to breathe, the law and public opinion will There is a chance that a huge reversal will occur and the success will fall short.”

Hercule raised his eyebrows again when he heard this.

Colbert really couldn't see his attitude, so he cursed in his heart and stopped holding on to the topic of Harvey Dent: "Whether they are right or not, it is a fact that there has been a lot of turmoil in the city recently, including my business. They were all affected. I was sure that I had never cooperated with Wilkinson Technology, and the contract had never been negotiated. However, others did not believe it and were worried that the prosecutor would come to the door the next day, so they I can't avoid it, so what can I do but prove my innocence as soon as possible?"

"Although Mr. Dent and I have some personal grudges..." Hercule said slowly, "But he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would wrongfully accuse good people."

"He may not be, but what about his people? Is everyone in the Department of Justice innocent? Even a three-year-old Gotham kid wouldn't believe this. And what about the GCPD? I know Director Gordon is in the eyes of many people He is a pretty good guy, but the police officers under him are probably corrupt and have connections with black states. "

Colbert smiled and hummed, "The ecological environment of Gotham City is like this. If you don't believe what I say, you must be an outsider. My dear detective, I am worried about more than just Harvey Dan. Especially, I'm afraid that someone thinks I'm easy to control, so they give me credit, which is an unreasonable disaster... In short, this city is currently experiencing chaos, and I don't want to get involved, but someone wants to drag me into the river. , then it’s understandable that I just capsize the boat.”

"What do you want me to do?"

Colbert suddenly grabbed Hercule's cuff, leaned over and said in a low voice: "I signed an agreement with Wilkinson, which will take effect at the end of this month. It talks about using the goods produced by their company for my personal use." The airship in my name was transferred to other cities. This thing was naturally invalidated after Wilkinson went to court, but someone sneaked into my office and stole it-just when I wanted to prove my innocence."

"Later I found out that the person who did this was a high school classmate and partner of mine. When I came to see him, he was dead from poisoning."

At this point, Colbert's purpose is already clear: "I want to find out the guy or force that is targeting me. You are a detective, and more importantly, you are a detective recognized by superheroes and judicial agencies. As long as you are If you say it, they won't question it, and it will be much faster than me working hard to establish a relationship. As long as the matter is completed, I am willing to add another amount to the originally agreed commission fee."

After confirming that the detective was ‘free to investigate’, he walked to the parking lot and drove away, waddling like a penguin with his belly puffed out. Hercule watched him go away, lowered his head and asked Peter: "What do you think?"

Peter rubbed the goosebumps off his arms: "When I interrupted Mr. Colbert... he had some bad thoughts about me."

"Amazing intuition." Hercule muttered, cheered up and said, "Your thinking is right. There is a high probability that he is cooperating with Falcone and then speculating on Wilkinson's back. "I was an Irishman, so I was anxious to clear up the relationship after the incident. I didn't dare to investigate on my own and I couldn't trust the police, so I had to come to me to put in a good word."

He took out the trust money that he had previously carried in his arms, counted it, and said with a click of his tongue: "But it's very generous."

Peter asked, "Are we going to do him a favor?"

"Help, why not help?" Hercule asked, "Taking it as a matter of fact, it is indeed possible that he didn't have time to do anything this time. I started to wonder if the person who tried to frame him was someone under Prosecutor Dent. "

Peter looked at his eagerness to try, but hesitated to speak.

——Didn’t you just offend someone? Why are you still trying to get into trouble?

The relationship between the detective and the prosecutor obviously cannot be explained in a few words, and Peter's questions are destined to remain unanswered. However, Hercule still refused to enter Gotham, and asked Peter to follow his command. The reason he gave was simple:

"I suspect that after a recent period of consolidation, Batman has controlled the vast majority of cameras in the city."

This is of course illegal, but Batman is collecting big criminal data rather than satisfying his own selfish desires. It can only be said that he does extraordinary things at extraordinary times.

Peter: So you still offended Batman?

He didn't ask any questions and just put the jacket he brought from home over his head. A special thing about it is that there is also a zipper in the front of the hat, which can directly cover the face. In this way, as long as he digs two holes for the eyes, it can barely be considered a superhero uniform.

Hercule's evaluation was inferior to Harley Quinn's cosmetics and an upside-down McDonald's paper bag.

Before setting off, the detective tested the lower limit of Peter's ability again, thinking that it was investigation work after all, and as long as he didn't panic too much and jumped out and stood in front of the gun, then theoretically he wouldn't encounter much danger.

In short, safety comes first.

The first step is to buy a set meal for the detective at the new Bat Burger restaurant in Gotham City.

Hercules generally did not eat fast food. The freshly made American hamburger is barely acceptable, but if he had to eat it, he would definitely refuse KFC and McDonald's. The sales of this Bat Burger restaurant are a little worse than McDonald's. The good thing is that it is bold and bears the name of Batman. I don't know whether it is authorized or not. The food inside has superhero prefixes.

It would have been a shame to walk into a fast food restaurant wearing weird clothes, but Peter was relieved to realize that no one would be able to recognize him through his clothes. He ran sideways across the two buildings cautiously and not very skillfully, jumped from the top of the burger shop and landed easily. He walked to the front desk despite the surprised looks of others and took the banknotes that Hercule had just received:

"Two Batman packages. Who am I, you ask? No, no, no, I have nothing to do with Robin, and I have nothing to do with Batman. I am a superhero from New York. I happened to pass by and wanted to see Hercule. ·What’s so special about Hugo’s second hometown?”

——No one will say anything about being a superhero for a day, right?

He stood there swaggeringly, pretending not to feel that someone was secretly taking pictures behind him.

The receptionist threw two broken bags in front of Peter and said in a rough voice: "This is the first hometown of Hercule Hugo, a brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

"..."

Peter took one of the biscuits back to Hercule, and ate the remaining one while running, then walked in another direction to the office building of his client Oswald Corbett. This time he was much more low-key, and did not attract anyone's attention until he climbed into the building through the vent.

He landed in the bathroom. However, after seeing the scene next to the sink, Peter gasped, his heart pounding, and he did not walk out immediately but retracted his head and said to Hercule on the other end of the headset: "I seem to have discovered a second homicide case, detective, someone fainted in the sink. Should I go check if he is still alive?"
