This time the journey was longer. Because of the underground tunnel being filled with water, Cindy had to take a detour on the Northern Ring Road. When she arrived at the location she had checked before, it was already early 1 o'clock.
Under the dark night, there was water everywhere, and even the boundary between the ground and the sky was blurred, but Sheriff Gordon's brown car could still be seen parked on the side of the road not far away, with its taillights on.
Su Ming and Cindy were about to get out of the car to check for clues. As for the two reporters, even if Wei Ke left now, she would not leave. She was still waiting for more exciting information and the fight that Su Ming promised her.
Promotional video'.
Peter is Wei Ke's follower, and Su Ming doesn't think he has the courage to walk alone through the territory of three gangsters at midnight.
"Can I go down? Make a documentary about solving the case or something?" Wei Ke immediately put on his clothes in a hurry and looked at Su Ming expectantly.
Su Ming didn't think it mattered. It might be useful to have the video data?
"Okay, but don't film us two Deathstrokes at the same time, don't film Barbara, and don't broadcast it live. If you do any tricks, I will make your life worse than death."
Cindy had no objection to this, anyway, both Deathstrokes had the same mind. On the contrary, she felt a little at ease for the first time in a long time, as if she was with her good friend Holly.
Barbara wanted to go down, but it was difficult to move, so she had to stay in the carriage.
The icy chill returned to Su Ming's body again, and all kinds of emotions left him instantly. He strode towards Gordon's car, opened the door and checked.
There was a smell of tobacco and coffee in the car, but there was no smell of blood. The mobile phone was placed on the dashboard, and several missed calls from Barbara were displayed on it, which confirmed that it was Gordon's mobile phone.
The car key was still inserted and the engine was in neutral, indicating that he only planned to leave the car for a short time, but an accident occurred.
The gasoline is still half full, the battery is fully charged, and there are no traces of tampering on the hood and trunk, ruling out the possibility of vehicle failure.
So what made him leave his car and fall into the trap of the men in black?
"Su, there is a corpse in the water here."
Cindy, who went to check the surveillance cameras, jumped off the telephone pole and made a big splash. Sure enough, there was something similar to a music player connected to the roadside camera. She recovered these devices and planned to study them later.
This method.
When she walked towards Su Ming, she found a vague white figure under the sewage not far in front of the car. Experience immediately told her that it was a corpse.
Su Ming knew that the body was the reason why Gordon left the car. As a policeman, this was the only situation that could guarantee that Gordon would stop and check at any time.
It can be seen that the people in black want to capture him alive, not dead, which is good news.
Cindy used her feet to pick the body out from under the sewage. The body had been soaked and deformed. The impact of the rain accelerated the decomposition of fat, and the skin appeared loose.
The two men immediately discovered the cause of death, which was massive blood loss due to trauma, and started an autopsy on the spot.
As a killer, understanding the structure of the human body is a basic skill. When necessary, there is no problem in acting as a forensic doctor. Cindy checked the internal organs, while Su Ming checked the limbs and head.
"Viewers, what we are seeing now is the scene of Commissioner Gordon's disappearance. What is behind me is..."
The sound of Wei Ke recording the program to the camera came from the distance. She really had no intention of recording the two Deathstrokes together. After all, she knew that this should be a bottom line. Once the line was crossed, Deathstroke would immediately turn against her.
The two of them were not affected by her, but carried out their own actions quickly, using the same technique with their four hands.
Thirty seconds later, both of them confirmed that nothing was missing. In the heavy rain, there were only so many clues that could be obtained.
"Who says it first?" Su Ming asked with a smile: "I don't want to play the game of saying the same thing at the same time anymore."
"I'll go first." Cindy stood up and looked around, but there was nothing around except the rain: "In addition to this stab wound, the deceased's internal organs also had some traces of congestion, and they had been hit before death.
"
"She had a well-developed cardiopulmonary system, so she must have been a manual worker or an athlete. There was nothing in her stomach, and she was probably hungry for two or three days, so I think she was executed in a secret prison somewhere. She was a prisoner."
Su Ming nodded, stood up and looked around, and then said:
"My findings are consistent with yours. The deceased did not walk here by herself. The soles of her feet are intact. She would not be like this when walking barefoot. This is proof that the body was dumped."
"Her knuckles are thick, and there are obvious scratches and calluses on the first three fingers of her left and right hands; the muscles of her limbs are balanced and strong, indicating that she is a warrior or a swimmer; the defensive injuries on her forelimbs indicate that she fought with others during her lifetime, and the damage to her wrists and ankles
There are traces of fixed binding.”
"She was tortured and then executed."
The two stood quietly, thinking, for more than ten seconds. During this period, only the sound of rain spread between them.
"There are no obvious torture injuries." Cindy said, looking at Vikvali in the distance. The woman acted affectionately in front of the camera as if nothing had happened.
"Maybe it's water torture. There's a kind of punishment called postage. Covering your face with paper and then pouring water on it will show signs of suffocation in the autopsy." Su Ming immediately thought of it.
"Where did you hear that?"
Cindy said that she had never seen this method of torture. It was popular among them to push people into toilets and other places, but this would cause water to accumulate in the lungs, and the autopsy would show a state of drowning.
"Oh, similar punishments have been popular in all major ancient civilizations. You can learn from them if you have the opportunity in the future."
In fact, he saw it from the TV series when he was working as a security guard, but this should be the original creation of Tianchao.
Cindy sighed and shook her head:
"What you are thinking is probably what I am thinking. The situation is a bit complicated now."
Su Ming naturally understood, because most people would never be able to reach this woman's physical level:
"Those guys are here too."
"Shadow Dancer Alliance."X2
The two of them said the same thing again at the same time, but this time, they just looked at the corpse on the ground quietly and said nothing more.
The assassin of the Shadow Dancer Alliance died here. No matter who did it, the assassins will avenge her. This is the tradition of that ancient organization.
If this was done by the people who kidnapped Gordon, the Shadow Dancer Alliance wouldn't take the time to tell. They would destroy everything alive as a deterrent, and Gordon's life would be hard to save.
"How many hours is it from South Dalbat to Gotham?" Su Ming asked first, he needed to know the time.
"Don't you know? How long does it usually take to stay there?"
Cindy was curious. She knew that Su Ming had something that they didn't have here. Could it make people run faster?
Nandarbat, as the headquarters of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, is actually not in the south, but in a place covered in ice and snow. It is a mysterious place that cannot be recognized by any technological means.
Like Paradise Island, Atlantis, and the House of Mystery, it seems to be covered by some force or simply not in the material world.
But the general location, guessing from the Arrow TV series and the Dark Knight trilogy, should be in Iceland or Greenland, right?
"About seven hours?" Su Ming calculated the location of Gotham. It would be about the same if he took a plane.
"It's so slow! From our side, in just four hours, you will find that Gotham is full of Shadow Dancer assassins."
What the hell? Faster than flying? Do they have special traveling skills?
"Isn't this something worth comparing with? We are very pressed for time now!"
Su Ming interrupted her angrily. Who knew why she was so proud? She even wanted to compare the speed of the Assassin League.
"Okay, those men in black should be ambushing in the buildings on both sides. Let's go see if there are any traces left." Cindy was helpless.
"Okay, I'll go over there."
Su Ming turned around and left. Time was already running out. Cindy shrugged in the heavy rain. She just wanted to show her strength. Amazon women show off their charm like this, but it seemed like Su didn't quite buy it?
She walked to the building on the other side of the road, kicked open the door, and asked questions from door to door, as if she wanted to chop something to vent her frustration.
When they left, Wei Ke took Peter to the body and started taking pictures. Suddenly, she felt that she had stepped on something, and then she saw the wound on the body's waist. She made the discovery, which made her smile.
