Hercule didn't know what his client looked like, so he decided to take a gamble. While pretending to recognize him, he habitually raised his right hand to pick it up: "You mean Ms. Shania Fordham?"

At the same time, the policeman's expression was very serious. Hercule looked at his 10 points of luck and thought, no, no, no, other people's wives are no longer here... A complicated feeling arose spontaneously. . Just when he was distracted, the fingers of his right hand froze without warning, and the photo suddenly fell to the ground unsteadily.

Hercule reacted quickly and immediately bent down to grab a handful. When he stood up again, he was looked at by the police as though he was facing an enemy.

"..." Just say that your Gotham police are too sensitive.

Outside the one-way glass of the interrogation room, Director Gordon put out his cigarette butt and asked Detective Bullock beside him: "What happened to his hand?"

"I don't know." Detective Bullock muttered, "Do you think I would let someone lynching him? Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the police department that you have reorganized."

Commissioner Gordon said, "I didn't mean that. I thought he was left-handed, didn't he?"

Detective Bullock: "He did use his left hand more before."

Director Gordon noted this down and asked, "Where's Bruce Wayne? Are there any clues?"

"No, even if the camera was repaired, nothing was recorded. He only said that he would strengthen the security of Wayne Manor. I think he spent too much energy in the flower world after returning to Gotham, and never thought about letting himself The organs in your neck should be more stable."

Detective Bullock said, "Are we really going to let him go?" referring to Hercule. "He's still the most suspect guy right now."

"Yeah." The director didn't refute the 'most likely suspect' statement, "but Shania Fordham was the one who first called the police to report that her husband was missing. Now that she paid bail, she insisted that Hercule ·Hugo is neither a murderer nor an accomplice of a murderer. For this reason, he would rather cancel the alarm record. So what else can we do? "

Inspector Bullock was deeply prejudiced against Hercule and therefore extremely reluctant.

"Humph, a man and a woman alone."

He didn't say any more under the warning gaze of Chief Gordon, and winked to the police officers next to him to let them go.

**

"I will keep an eye on you." When Hercule walked out of the interrogation room door, Detective Bullock muttered very persistently beside him, "You'd better be more honest with me, it won't be so simple next time."

Hearing this, Hercule couldn't help but click on the skill panel.

The judgment interface corresponding to "Sensitive Senses" has the same words:

[You feel someone is watching you. 】

It still says 'someone' instead of 'Harvey Bullock', which shows that Inspector Tangtang has no name in the eyes of the game system.

Hercule chose to ignore it because his skill level was too low.

"Okay, Harvey." Director Gordon advised from the side, "We should let the evidence speak for itself. Mr. Hugo, come this way, I will take you to see Ms. Fordham."

Hercule was a little curious about his client, but he was more interested in Commissioner Gordon's attitude. This was the first time he had seen the legendary good and bad policeman outside of movies and TV series, so he waited with interest for the chief's next questions.

As a result, Commissioner Gordon said: "Hercule?"

Hercule responded promptly: "What's your question?"

"Nothing. Can I call you Hercule?" The director smiled, "This name is very uncommon. I checked the records of the Archives Bureau. There are no more than ten newborns named this among the recorded births in the country this year. There was a very famous 'Hercule' in history."

"Hercule Poirot, the male protagonist of the Agatha Christie novel series." Hercule said, "Reading detective novels is my parents' hobby."

Commissioner Gordon looked at him inquiringly. Hercule looked calm and pretended not to know that the director suspected that it was a fake name.

What's wrong with players randomly picking up IDs? He hasn't been named Holmes or Carrot yet!

"It's a good hobby. Is this why you want to become a detective? No offense, I heard Ms. Fordham say that you accepted her investigation commission." Gordon lit a cigarette for himself, "But Gotham is special, you You should have heard of her bad reputation, so be careful wherever you go next time.”

When Hercule smelled the smell of smoke, he felt that the craving for cigarettes buried in this body was aroused. The protagonist of "Third-rate Detective Simulator" even took out a metal pipe in his pocket when he was on standby. Unfortunately, he traveled through time But I didn’t bring this default equipment when I was traveling, maybe to promote the anti-smoking, and the pipes were not inspected when they crossed the border.

He said sadly: "Thank you."

This expression of dissatisfaction was so familiar that Chief Gordon, an old smoker, couldn't help but take out his cigarette case: "Want one?"

"No," Hercule refused, "I'm quitting smoking."

"You have great perseverance."

Hercule sighed for an unknown number of times today and shook his head.

The person standing at the end of the corridor is the client, Shania Fordham. She looked much better in person than in the photos, her haggard face obscured by makeup and light. When she saw Hercule, her eyes lit up with an eager expression.

Sheriff Gordon sends Hercule to Ms. Fordham. When he was about to leave the police station, he suddenly asked: "Do you mind telling me what happened to your hand?"

Hercule almost didn't react: "What?"

"Your right hand, I noticed that it is a bit uncoordinated." As Director Gordon spoke, he saw Ms. Fordham glance back at Hercule in surprise. Is it because the relationship between the two people is not that familiar, or is it because Hercule didn't tell anyone?

He didn't know that Hercule was also grumbling and complaining about this. His seemingly healthy body and fragmented attribute points together constitute his limbs that defy the command of his brain at any time. His right hand that sometimes doesn't work is just a minor problem.

It's useless to talk to the police about this. The hospital in the 21st century may not be able to deconstruct his body from the future. Apart from hoping that the game system will find its conscience, Hercule has no idea how to solve the problem and can only find time to slowly practice it.

Therefore, he put his free hands into the pockets of his windbreaker, walked outside the door and replied perfunctorily: "You have observed carefully, but it's getting late. Let's talk about it another time when we have the chance. I wish you a pleasant day, Mr. Director." "

After he finished speaking, he nodded politely. The silver-white hair mixed in his black hair reflected the cold light in the sun, and he turned around and followed the young woman beside him to the parking lot.

Shania Fordham took Hercule to the hotel where they were staying. There was only a wall between the two people's rooms, and Shania didn't shy away from it. After seeing Hercule open the door with the key card in his pocket, she followed in without hesitation.

As soon as she entered the door, she hurriedly said: "Why did you go to Wayne Manor? I obviously never mentioned my plan to you."

Hercule: "..."

ah?

He controlled his surface emotions, but he actually felt incredible in his heart: Did Shania send someone to transport the body of Corbin Fordham?

The police who interviewed him this morning failed to get any information from him, but instead he got a lot of information out of him. Hercule now knew that the deceased Corbin Fordham and his client were a couple.

A week ago, Shania Fordham discovered that her husband was missing. After searching to no avail, she chose to call the police. The mafia is rampant in Gotham City, and disappearances like this often end with the victim's body appearing in nooks and crannies.

In addition, Corbin Fordham has a criminal record - it is rumored that he is the middleman of several groups of forces, and is usually responsible for helping the bosses of various companies to communicate or sell information. Corbyn has a bad reputation as a wallflower, and Corbyn has almost been burned several times in the past.

In view of this, the Gotham Police Department does not expect to find a living person. It can even be said that most of the people in the department are passive and slack in their work, clocking in every day and waiting for the corpse to appear on its own.

Shania Fordham had expected this situation. Judging from the game's mission description, she also doesn't think her husband is still alive, but just wants Hercule to help investigate who killed Corbin.

Corbin Fordham was missing for at least seven days and died for more than two days. During this period, the Gotham Police Department knew nothing about his whereabouts, so Hercule was immediately regarded as the murderer when he appeared.

The above is summarized by Hercule based on the system description and content analysis disclosed by the police.

However, just now, Shania Fordham said: Not only do I know that my husband is dead, I also know where his body is. Not only do I know where his body is, I can dump it right outside Wayne Manor.

The client's subjective initiative is too strong. If this continues, Hercule will be embarrassed to say that he was wrongly accused next time he sees the police.

Shania looked at his face nervously and said uneasily: "I'm sorry, Hercule."

Hercule sat down on the bed, not even bothering to change his clothes. His body felt extremely heavy, but it didn't affect his brain: "How did you do that?"

"How did you move the body there? I hired someone to clean the camera. You don't have to worry. That was someone my husband knew when he was alive. He had a very strict mouth. As for the body, let me introduce you to my husband's assistant." Shani Ya said, "His name is Edward Nygma. He is a rare smart man. You don't have to worry about him leaving traces when moving."

Edward Nygma is an unfamiliar name.

Hercule wanted to smoke again. He changed his sitting position, crossed his legs and thought for a while, still feeling very confused. In addition to the client's one-sided words such as "very strict mouth", "only you know" and "will not leave traces", he really wanted to find out why Shania thought of using her husband's body to test Wayne.

But he couldn't ask, because normally he should know the answer.

Fortunately, his silence seemed to send Shania a message.

She took two steps in place, looking annoyed, anxious and annoyed: "Listen, Hercule, I'm sorry, I apologize to you, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just, I just - can't bear it anymore. You told me to listen to you, I did before, but they brought my husband’s body to me!”

She was a little incoherent: "What should I do? I love Corbin, and I can't watch him lying in the coffin like this! Besides, what if they kill him and they're not satisfied? What if the murderer wants to do something to me? I I have lost my love, and I can no longer live without you, Hercule..."

Tears flowed from her lake-blue eyes. Hercule sat still, and Shania took a tissue for herself and covered her nose, and said angrily: "You can ask me any questions you have. To express my apology, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"Oh, thank you. You are so generous as a client." Hercule said thoughtfully, "Are you doubting Wayne?"

Shania took a deep breath to calm herself down: "Of course, I said that my husband owes Wayne Group a large sum of money. In May, Corbin messed up a Heibang transaction. If he is found would die. But Corbin knew a lot of people, and happened to have a friend who was an employee of Wayne Group, and the two of them teamed up to use the company's wallet to plug the financial hole caused by the failed Heibang transaction."

"But your husband is still dead."

"Yes." Shania laughed at herself, "I admit that he brought it upon himself. I just want to know who killed him, Heibang, Wayne or other enemies of Corbin? If possible, I can avenge him. This You can’t rely on the police for this, you don’t know if someone in the police station has been bribed.”

Hercule still didn't understand: "Why are you more suspicious of Wayne than Heibang? Moreover, your husband is colluding with Wayne Group employees to embezzle public funds. What's the use of threatening Bruce Wayne?"

Shania hesitated to speak.

Hercule said calmly: "It would be unwise for you to hide information from me now. As you said, the murderer may attack you or even me who helped you at any time, right?"

Shania moved slightly. After a while, she said: "I didn't say it before because I wasn't sure, Hercule. Don't laugh at me. I have no evidence. It's just a ridiculous idea... I doubt there is any Wayne Group that betrayed the company." Staff - I suspect it was Bruce Wayne himself who made the deal with my husband."
