"So there is indeed an attacker. How did he do it?" Detective Luo Yajun asked, "Did he set a time bomb in advance? Or was it someone with the ability to remotely blast..."
"No, he came inside."
Chu Cheng paused the replay at the frame before the explosion, and operated Batman to walk to the rostrum. The magical detective mode also captured a pair of footprints on the devastated floor, and reverse modeled a human figure.
.
Chu Cheng didn't know how Batman deduced it, but he could clearly see the man's height and weight. He looked like a young man, and he even saw him wearing a hood.
"He was standing here before the explosion."
"Has he come so close to the rostrum?" Luo Yajun frowned, "So how did he do it? Explosive powers? Human bombs? Or..."
"It's impossible."
Iron Man walked over, and the armor's walking caused the metallic sound of the joints rubbing together.
"That's my skill. No matter how good my ability or weapon is, I can't evade scanning."
This was an automated voice. Iron Man was hanging up the machine next to him when it suddenly came online. There were two drones in the venue, both designed based on Stark technology. He was arrogant about his own creative tendencies, so he naturally refused to do so.
He admitted that someone had sneaked in under his surveillance.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here 】
"Obviously they failed." Batman said coldly, not giving any face to his colleagues.
Detective Luo thought for a while and asked: "We have confirmed that someone sneaked in and took action? But in that case, maybe the surveillance cameras in the venue..."
"seen it already."
Before the question could be finished, Batman interrupted in a very shameless manner: "The reconstruction of the scene traces restored the situation of the explosion. It was obvious that there was a young man standing at this position. He caused the explosion in some way.
I restored his movement trajectory. He came in from the gate, passed through the crowd, and came to the rostrum. I calculated forward from the explosion time to get the time when he entered the door and at each location, and called all the monitoring...
..."
As he said that, he had projected the images captured by several surveillance cameras at the same time.
Every position of the young man in the scene playback modeling was empty in the surveillance screen.
Luo Yajun raised his chin: "In other words... what we are looking for is an opponent that cannot be captured on camera."
"Yes."
Chu Cheng didn't show it, but he naturally adjusted the drone footage. There was also nothing in it. In Batman's reasoning and restoration, the location where the murderer should have been was blank.
"Maybe your detective system is malfunctioning. After all, you rely on guesswork." Stark muttered.
"Based on scene traces and clue-based inference modeling, I have a dozen pieces of evidence if you need it." Batman automatically replied.
Stark muttered something and said nothing more. Chu Cheng knew that this was just Stark's dissatisfaction that his skills were inferior to those of the old Bat family today, and he was just complaining casually, so he shouldn't take it seriously.
When these two rich people team up, their BUFF gain is quite high, but they are always grudges overtly and covertly, and neither of them obeys the other.
"The murderer was in front of the stage just before the incident, and the only person facing him was Professor Peng. If I could see Professor Peng, I might be able to get more information."
This time, it is not an audible voice, but Batman's inner monologue, which often appears after the detective scanning session of entering the scene reconstruction. Sometimes it is the conclusion reached by the master's reasoning and sometimes it is a prompt to the player.
Chu Cheng understood, so he asked: "Professor Peng is still alive?"
"Yes, I went to the hospital for emergency treatment. He was seriously injured but he seems to have woken up." Luo Yajun said, "Although he seemed to have fallen down quickly, it is a miracle that he is still alive so close to the center of the explosion.
"
"Or maybe the murderer deliberately showed mercy." Batman said.
Luo Yajun was stunned: "Why? Shouldn't there be no difference..."
The second half of the sentence went back to his stomach.
Because the old bat has disappeared again.
...
Professor Peng was indeed awake. Although he could not get out of bed for the time being, he quickly sat up when he heard that the two superheroes, especially Tony Stark, were coming.
Tony left the armor at the door. The brand new armor stood like a steel guard in the hospital corridor, attracting many people to stop and watch. Tony walked into the ward and came to the old man's bedside.
"Forgive me for not being able to get out of bed. The best I can do now is half-lying like this." The old man said, "But I have always wanted to see you, Mr. Stark. The feeling you give me is the same as that of other people - including your colleagues.
Everyone else included is different."
"Is it the kind that I should be honored by?" Tony said.
"Ha, it depends on how you see yourself." Professor Peng said, "The inventions and technologies you brought... I have never seen anything like that, but there are some that I have indeed imagined...
...as a scientist.
To a certain extent, I think I understand you. There are so many inventions and innovative technologies, but when it comes to the most important invention in life, let me guess..."
He paused and looked outside the ward door.
"That's it, right? The thing that makes you call yourself 'Iron Man', that invincible armor that makes even the most powerful military on the planet look like toys."
"What do you want to say, Professor?"
"No, I just have some...questions, completely from the perspective of a scientific researcher." Professor Peng said, "You have such a talent, which is almost a miraculous technology in our world, but you use this
The proudest creation created by his talents...
...is an armor, a weapon, designed to destroy and kill. Why?”
Stark and the old man looked at each other for a moment and said, "Is this related to this matter?"
"It must be true." Professor Peng pondered for a moment and said, "The attacker, the weapon he used... I recognize it. It's a piece of armor, an absolutely confidential scientific research project.
It comes from... you."
"Me?" Tony narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, you showed us what a suit of armor can do, and what a man wearing an iron shell can become. No one can resist that temptation."
The old man sighed softly.
"Technology is destined to be like this. You see the good side of it, how it can change life and make everyone live better... But people are always not satisfied with this. We hope it can be used
To destroy, harm.
If you don’t help us, we will have to rely on ourselves.”
This surprised Chu Cheng. In his impression, Dijixing's technological level was far from being able to build an exoskeleton armor that could be used in actual combat, let alone being able to cause such a level of damage by a single soldier, and also be able to deceive others.
Surveillance cameras and various scans.
"If it is a confidential project," Tony said, "then I guess, it must not be in its original development schedule to explode it in a public event like a press conference, right?"
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "It was stolen."
