"I'm suffering from heatstroke."
Dick, who was holding the phone, asked in disbelief: "What? Professor? What's wrong with you?!"
"I said I had heatstroke and am currently resting in the hospital. You'd better be more honest these days. If you go to the police station again, no one will bail you out."
Dick put down the phone with a dull look on his face, turned to Jason next to him and said, "Professor Schiller said he had heat stroke and is currently resting in Arkham Asylum. What do you think is going on?"
"What's going on?" Jason said while flipping through the information: "Do you need a reason for heat stroke? Isn't the weather hot enough?"
"But that's Professor Schiller."
"He said he has no superpowers anymore."
"Then you believe it?"
"The key is not whether we believe it or not. He said before that he didn't have the ability to read minds. Did it delay him from doing anything?" Jason snorted softly and said, "Rather than that, why don't you come and take a look at these information."
Dick had no choice but to put aside his doubts and walked over. Jason handed him another copy of the document. Dick saw that it read "Polokin Community Missing Children Report" written on the paper.
He weighed the pile of information. It was almost half a palm thick. Dick couldn't help but be a little stunned. Although there were countless cases of missing children in Gotham every year, the community where the boarding high school was located did not have a large population. There would be so many.
The case of missing children is still a bit bizarre.
Dick flipped through the information and found that the situation was better than he thought, because many of them were comments from Aisha, such as someone in a child's family who was noteworthy, or the time when a child disappeared was somewhat special.
And so on.
Dick was actually not very good at reading. He flipped through the information briefly and found something suspicious in it, that is, almost all of the missing children attended the community school in Polokin.
Then after Jason's explanation, he understood that this was not surprising. Only children whose family conditions were good enough to go to school would have their parents report the disappearance. But people like Jason who were wandering the streets disappeared one day.
No one will go to the police, and naturally no case report will be left.
This community is not big. There is only one elementary school and one junior high school in the community, so most of the children in the community go to school here. In other words, most of the children in the community are classmates, and outsiders are relatively rare.
"Is this data normal?" Dick asked.
Jason shook his head and said: "In the most chaotic years of Gotham, the city was more dangerous. This community is remote and has a small population. The gangs cannot develop industries here, so naturally they have no time to take care of it. Instead, they should
Relatively peaceful.”
"But we compared the number of missing children in this community with surrounding communities and with certain neighborhoods in the city, and found that the number of missing children here is abnormally high. Look at this again."
Jason handed over another document. After Jason took it, he discovered that it was a linear statistical chart. The horizontal line represented the year and the vertical line represented the number of missing children. This curve, which was originally relatively flat, had increased in ten years.
At a certain point in the past, a dragon suddenly appeared, and the number suddenly surged to an abnormal level.
"Ten years ago..." Dick muttered while looking through the previous information, and then discovered that the primary and middle schools in the community were established ten years ago.
Dick immediately had some insights. He said: "There are problems with these two schools, so it is very likely that the reason for the closure of the schools was not poor business operations, but an excessively high number of missing children."
Unexpectedly, Jason shook his head and said, "Take a closer look at those case reports."
Dick picked out one of the pictures, looked at it carefully, and then changed to another one. His eyebrows gradually wrinkled, and he said: "These children all disappeared outside of school... But also, if they were in
If someone goes missing in school, parents will definitely go to the school to make trouble, and the school won't be able to open for a day."
"But if he didn't disappear on campus, why was the school closed that year? Are the two incidents really not connected at all?"
"This is what we are going to investigate next. Tim helped us rent a house in the Polokin community, in the southeast corner of the community, very close to the forest. Next, we have to go to every child in that year based on these case reports.
Missing Place Investigation.”
"Then what are you waiting for?" Dick immediately put down the information. Rather than conducting inference and analysis here, he hoped to take direct action.
"It's not that simple." Jason said: "Tim just called and said that the cameras he deployed in a community next to this community captured a lot of outsiders, and they all just appeared in the past week."
"I'm afraid some people know that someone is investigating this matter." Dick sighed and said, "As expected, they definitely have a guilty conscience."
"So instead of the two of us going, you take the raven." Jason sat on the sofa and looked up at Dick and said, "You are responsible for the investigation, and the raven is responsible for protecting you."
Dick opened his mouth, but still said: "Although I don't want Rachel to get involved, I guess she will be very happy."
"We don't want to involve innocent people, but the problem is that these people are so vicious that they can attack so many children. In order to cover up their crimes, they may use any means. It's best if you don't get discovered, but in any case
Once you are discovered, someone must ensure your safety."
"What do you want Raven to do if I'm discovered?" Dick asked the key.
"Take you away immediately. Don't have a head-on conflict with them. I know that ravens are very strong and can wipe them all out with just a few clicks. But don't do this. It's likely to alert the enemy."
Jason stood up and continued his analysis: "The other party thinks that we are ordinary people who can be harmed, so they will take action. Once they realize that we are actually monsters, they will never show their faces again."
"I understand, I will contact Rachel now."
Not long after, Raven came. She had obviously just finished class, and now she looked like a full-fledged high school girl, with no hint of magic.
After listening to Dick and Jason explain their plans, Raven said: "Didn't I tell you? The clones who invaded Gotham were under my spell. Now I can control them perfectly. Although the remaining
There are not many people, but they are almost exactly the same as humans, and they are not afraid of death. Maybe I can take them there?"
Jason and Dick looked at each other, and Jason said, "Let's forget about this. If that's the case, maybe we can make a more efficient plan."
"What do you want to do?" Raven asked.
"Do these clones have a social identity?"
"Most of them are, but some of them are dead because their bodies were killed."
"Approximately how many people are there?"
"About a dozen."
Dick and Jason had a good connection. He laughed and said, "When they start to investigate the identity of the person they are pursuing, but find that the other person is dead, their expressions will be very exciting."
Several people from the New Warriors team and the Guardians of the Galaxy followed Helen to Wayne Manor last night. There was a swimming pool in the backyard of the manor. They held some parasols and played in the swimming pool to cool off.
Rocket Raccoon was very unlucky. Elsa picked up countless hairs in one night. In the end, he could only admit that he was unlucky and was held in Elsa's arms like a pet and ran around the yard.
Of course, there was some serious business involved. Helen was still investigating Williams' real estate company, focusing on the procedures this guy used to obtain the land next to Schiller's house, trying to find out if there was anything unreasonable in it.
However, there is too little information that can be found online. Even if you borrow the professional information database of Wayne Group, you can only roughly estimate the effective time of contract review, and the specific contract content cannot be seen.
Land in the United States is not publicly owned. Land, like other commodities, can be bought and sold, and can be traded privately. If it is a corporate transaction, it is also considered part of the business secrets and will not be known to others easily. You can get a rough understanding of it.
The trading time is already considered a powerful information base of Wayne Group.
But there is no end to the road. Helen searched for Williams' photos and found a special photo. In the picture, Williams with a red face and a man wearing a white shirt and glasses, who looked like an elite at first glance.
In the group photo, the banner behind them vaguely reads "East Coast Land Sales and Investment Intention Exchange Meeting."
After getting this name, Helen immediately searched the Wayne Group's information database, and then she discovered that this was a trade conference held jointly by several cities on the east coast every year, and the main content was land sales.
The date of this meeting was similar to the time when the land deal near the Schiller family's house was concluded. In other words, Williams probably bought the land through this trading meeting.
Then the man in the photo with him is probably the key to this transaction. It can be seen from Williams' bright smile that getting this piece of land will be a huge profit for him, so this man will
Helping him get the land instead of others proves that they have a close relationship.
Searching for this man's photo, the news reports that appeared made Helen's eyes widen in surprise - "Hilos Nygma, the popular candidate for Gotham mayoral election, expressed important views on the city's economic development, saying
He will help the city rebuild its financial industry."
Helen's eyes fell firmly on the photo on the front page of the news report. Mr. Nygma was wearing a suit and leather tie, showing a decent smile...
The originally rosy and shiny face gradually turned pale, the smile disappeared, and the gray-blue pupils became lifeless. Except for the pale lights of the morgue, only Gordon's face was reflected on them.
Gordon pulled the white cloth back up, sighed and said, "When was the body discovered?"
"At 6 o'clock this morning, boss." A female police officer next to him took the record and reported: "He was found naked in the alley that was the only way to go to the office building. The conclusion given by the forensic doctor
Yes...he was frozen to death."
"Frozen to death?!" Gordon turned to look at his subordinates and said, "He obviously couldn't have frozen to death naturally, right?"
"Of course, boss, but there are no signs of struggle on his body, and there are no clues left where the body was found. So far, we have found nothing except the cause of death."
Gordon's face darkened, and he said: "I just found out that this guy was a popular mayoral candidate. He died at this time. We must give everyone an explanation."
"Do you want to check the cold storage?" The subordinate suggested: "There are several cold storages nearby. We can check them one by one. Maybe we can find some clues."
"Do you know the names of those cold storages?" Gordon's expression did not improve at all. He said, "If you had come a few years earlier, as long as this proposal was heard, you would not have seen the sun tomorrow morning."
