Although the relationship between Batman and the police is not tense in this universe, it is still unlikely that he would stay in Arkham's control room and watch the surveillance video with Gordon for an hour or two.
Therefore, while downloading those videos, he chose to use fast forward to briefly look at the images left by Brother Jue on the screen.
Not surprisingly, when the scene of Feng Bujue gesturing to the surveillance camera passed by, Batman asked Gordon to rewind the video and play it slowly... and finally fixed the camera on Brother Jue's smile.
"What does he mean?" Gordon asked, looking at the screen. "Does that gesture refer to a bird...or an eagle? What is he implying?"
"That's... the bat..." Batman responded in a deep voice while unplugging his device from the computer interface (you can think he has a bat USB flash drive). It seems that the download has been completed, "He said to the camera
By doing this, it means he wants to invite me into the game."
"Wait..." Gordon paused and asked, "How did he know you would see this video?"
"I will see it sooner or later." Batman replied, "Because you are still here..."
Gordon thought about the meaning of these words for a moment, and after a moment, he also came to his senses.
The gesture of "Jack" is very common in the "Hand Shadow" game. It usually represents a bird or an eagle. Everyone can imagine this. The speculation that Gordon just blurted out was also based on this factor; and if you think about it further,
"Hand Shadow" itself is a game that uses light and shadow, projection source and projected source to create optical illusions.
If you think about it from this, you will understand... Rather than saying that Jack is hinting at "bats", it is better to say that he is hinting at "bat lights".
Assuming that Batman does not come to Arkham at this moment, and does not watch this video with Gordon, it will not change anything; because at least Gordon will definitely see this video, and will watch it repeatedly, and
Analyze... With Gordon's ability, it is only a matter of time before he can guess the true meaning of the other party's gesture. Once he understands it, he will go to the roof of the police station to turn on the bat light and notify Batman.
In other words, when this "Jack" gestured towards the camera, he had already thought about it... "This message is for Gordon"; according to common sense, the police should have seen this video first.
That's right.
Of course, he has also considered the current situation of being "directly seen by Batman". In terms of results, there is no difference, and in terms of process, it simplifies things... because Batman will definitely understand it immediately
the meaning of it.
"What on earth does this guy want to do..." After realizing it, Gordon's expression became serious. His experience and intuition told him... This time he encountered a different and quite difficult criminal.
However, when Gordon asked this question and turned his head, Batman who was originally standing behind him had disappeared.
Gordon was the only one left in the room, as if he was talking to himself.
"Huh..." Two seconds later, Gordon shrank his neck, exhaled helplessly, and complained, "Compared to your appearance... your way of exiting is even more annoying..."
…………
At the same time, in a sewer on the outskirts of Gotham.
Feng Bujue was holding an [Oxygen Pipe] in his mouth and walking forward at a speed similar to jogging.
When leaving the asylum, he and Kevin got into the same car and drove away consciously in front of the fugitives who had just been released.
Brother Jue has naturally calculated that... all those fugitives will be arrested in less than half a day; and when those guys are arrested, they will definitely be asked the question "How did the people who let you go escape?" By then, at least most of them will
Most prisoners will answer in unison, "He drove away." If their consciousness is clear enough and their memory is good enough, they may even tell the color of the car and even the license plate number.
In this way, the police's investigation direction will be led to the idea of "the suspect fled in a car."
But in fact... ten minutes after the car left the lunatic asylum, Feng Bujue got off the car in the middle of a road without surveillance cameras; before getting off the car, he gave Kevin the order to "continue driving towards the metropolis."
(There is a road sign on the road) "Drive" command.
Brother Jue himself used the floating ability of [Taxu] to run in the opposite direction without leaving any footprints. In less than ten minutes, he found the one he saw on the street sign not long ago.
The location was a swamp, and as he expected... there was a sewer outlet with a diameter of more than two meters.
"It won't be long before...the police will find that car." Jue Ge, who is running, is not idle either. His current running speed is also carefully calculated to move at such a speed that it will not cause too many injuries.
With the loss of physical energy, I still had time to respond to some unexpected situation that suddenly appeared. In addition, I could allocate a considerable amount of energy to think, "Kevin's existence time is 45 minutes, and half of the time limit passed before he and I split up.
left and right; I asked him to try to drive at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour while ensuring safe driving. Considering that there are almost no traffic lights on suburban roads... When Kevin disappeared from the car, the car had at least driven out.
More than twenty kilometers.
"Taking into account the police's response speed, the time it took to arrest the prisoner and ask for information, as well as the time it took them to call in the surveillance of the traffic department, and then send people to catch up... Even if they are more efficient than I expected,
Oh no, they should have found the empty car in ten minutes at the latest...
"Because Kevin suddenly turned into a white light and disappeared, no one would step 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 may be many ways in this process
Situations occur...for example, the car slowly drifts and hits a telephone pole or a big tree on the roadside, or happens to hit a car going in the opposite direction, or even slides into a river...
"Many new hypotheses can be derived from this, such as the car being discovered and driven away by a passing homeless person, or someone calling the police after seeing the car abandoned on the roadside... But in any case, the police will be there sooner or later.
Everyone will know in the evening that I am no longer in that car.
"At this time, they will shift their thinking from 'escape by car' 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 sewer... it is difficult to say, just '
There were no signs of the driver escaping around the empty car. This strange suspicion was enough for them to think about it for a while.
"Hmm... If you think about it, by the time they think of investigating the sewers, I will have already entered the city..."
Thinking of this, Feng Bujue's mind changed: "However, there is another extreme situation. If 'Batman arrives at the scene as soon as possible and participates in the investigation'...will he have a chance to catch up with me?"
"
Brother Jue's worries are justified. After all, in this universe, Batman...or Bruce Wayne's wife is working as a consultant at Arkham.
Even if we rule out the hypothesis that "Batman is monitoring his wife's daily activities", considering Batman's urine, he will at least monitor the communications of the Gotham police? Then when he learned about the incident in the lunatic asylum through the police communication network,
Publicly or privately, everyone will rush to the scene as soon as possible to confirm whether his wife is safe.
In fact, Batman did exactly that... He arrived at Arkham earlier than the police; but when he turned on the heat detection system in his eyes, threw out his hook, and rushed in from mid-air in a very cool way.
When I arrived at the main building of the lunatic asylum... I found that the place was already empty.
At this moment, sirens sounded, and the police rushed to the scene one after another. Upon seeing this, Batman hid first and observed in the dark.
It didn't take long for the staff in the underground refuge room to come out on their own, because there were several surveillance cameras connected to the inside of the refuge room. As soon as the people inside saw the police arriving, they opened the entrance and returned to the ground.
What happened after that was as written above, Batman waited in secret for a while, waiting for the police to complete the preliminary information collection work before he showed up.
Judging from the actual plot direction, Batman did not intervene in the investigation at an earlier point in time as Jue Ge estimated, nor did he follow the car's route to find Jue Ge's drop-off point; besides,
To be honest...even if he really stood at the alighting point, there would be no trace of a car stopping here or that Brother Jue got off the car and ran in the opposite direction.
Because... Feng Bujue didn't leave any traces like that in the first place.
"The greatest detective in the world" also needs evidence to make further inferences. Only fake detectives who are cheating can do that kind of "telling the entire truth directly without relying on logical sequence and then using evidence to disprove it."
thing.
"Huh?" Just as Feng Bujue was thinking, suddenly, something came into his sight, causing his steps to freeze.
"What the hell?" The next second, he stopped at a wall, staring at the wall in front of him that was a different color from the surrounding ones.
In this dark sewer, even with a searchlight, it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect this abnormality. However, Feng Bujue relied on a flashlight (which he carried in his luggage) to capture this detail...
dong dong
Brother Jue tapped the wall lightly with the end of the flashlight. He immediately realized that the wall with a different color was made of a material that he could not identify at all; in a sewer composed entirely of cement and bricks
, this wall looks even more suspicious.
"Well... the edges are irregular, and there are cracks where they connect with the surrounding walls, and..." Feng Bujue observed the wall carefully and deduced in his mind, "This material has penetrated and filled these gaps...
..." Within two seconds, he understood, "That is to say...there was no such wall here originally, but someone sealed it with a chemical mixture that can expand and solidify quickly..."
A smile appeared on Brother Jue's face: "Then the question is...what is hidden behind this wall?"
