Chapter 2342 Gotham Music Festival (Part 74)

Chapter 2335 Gotham Music Festival (Seventy-four)

Bruce rushed to Gordon, and Gordon was almost stabbed by a flying wood chip.

The loud noise of the complete collapse and the flying debris and dust made everyone retreat far away, and some even sat on the ground.

Gordon stared at the completely collapsed old building in amazement, and finally said, "It seems that we are unlucky."

Bruce frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not such a coincidence. From my observation just now, although this house is old, it is far from collapsing, otherwise the victim would not choose to run here."

"Who is the deceased?" Gordon turned his head and asked.

"He is a fisherman sheriff. David once had a fishing boat, but later he lost all his money due to his gambling addiction. He also paid the fishing boat to his creditors and became a homeless man."

"So he is a native of Gotham."

"Yes, when we came to investigate, many people told the story of his mother. It sounds like a poor woman, but this also shows that at least in his parents' generation, he is a native of Gotham."

"Then it is even more clear that if the house is in danger of collapsing at any time, as a local homeless man, it is definitely impossible to choose this place."

"You want to say this is a trap." Gordon understood what Batman meant and said, "Someone led us here and then collapsed the house to bury us here."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Even if Bruce already had a suspect in his mind, he did not say it.

He knew that during the music festival, it was already difficult for the Gotham scenic area to maintain urban order. It was a bit too much to ask them to investigate a transnational drug trafficking organization of such a large scale. If he told Gordon, Gordon would be under great pressure.

It would be better for him to do this. Although he has been too busy to be Batman for a long time, it does not mean that he cannot be Batman. Batman is obviously the best identity to deal with such things.

Looking at Bruce's expression, Schiller couldn't help but say to Gray Mist in his heart: "I don't need to see or think, I know that he will go out for a night stroll tonight."

"Because you collapsed the house."

"You did it."

"You asked me to do it." Gray Mist snorted and said: "But I really don't want to go in. It's a bit scary inside."

"Did you see the body?"

"Of course." Gray Mist said: "There are more than one."

Schiller understood. Although he has roughly guessed who the murderer is now, his greatest advantage is that he never forgets his original intention. If he says he is here to cause trouble, then he must be here to cause trouble.

So he cleared his throat and said, "I think you have overlooked a key piece of information."

Bruce and Gordon both turned to look at him, and Schiller said, "From the first crime scene to the second crime scene, it almost spans half of the city. Even if there is no traffic jam, it takes more than two hours to drive."

"And the forensic doctor determined that the time of death of the two bodies was almost the same, and there was no sign of the bodies being moved or transferred. When the two places were so far apart and were both the first crime scene, how did the murderer travel such a long distance in an instant?"

Bruce was actually thinking about this question just now. He said, "It is possible that the murderer is not the same person. They cooperated in the crime and just adopted the same method."

Bruce analyzed, "Beheading is not a very creative way of execution, and there is no difficulty in operation. The scene itself does not have any meaning. The deterrent effect is greater than the artistic quality, which is very consistent with the way some organized criminal gangs act."

"Head down." Schiller said lightly.

Bruce frowned and said, "Maybe it's to show deterrence more directly. The vertical posture of the corpse can make people more clearly aware that it is a headless corpse, and the blood on the ground is more visually and olfactorily impactful."

As he spoke, Bruce realized that something was wrong. If it was really done by the Confession Cartel, then they actually have better ways to show their deterrence. For example, many terrorists like to do live TV broadcasts or simply execute people in public to make people feel afraid.

It's just that two corpses were made in a corner. Obviously, only the police can see this scene, but the police are completely responsible. No matter whether they are afraid or not, they have to work. There is no point in doing such a case to deter the police.

And hanging the corpse upside down to show the headless posture and using blood to enhance the impact of the scene are basically theories that only a group of serial killers with artistic pursuits can understand. A group of drug dealers have neither such knowledge nor such leisure.

To put it more bluntly, a transnational drug trafficking group of this size can make millions of dollars in a minute. Who would play tricks with you? In order to export drugs, they dare to kill even Oliver. As long as you are in the way, the most efficient way is to find someone on the road to shoot you. There is no need to do anything else.

Is it a copycat crime that deliberately misleads the line of sight? Then who would want to imitate the Confession Cartel to create a serial murder case?

Batman's instinct to fully question everything played the greatest role at this moment. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the most likely person to do this was the FBI.

The FBI and the Confessions Cartel have some kind of unclear connection. They may be some kind of secret cooperation. To put it more bluntly, the Confessions Cartel does the dirty work for the FBI, while the FBI condones the Confessions. Cartels make money from drug trafficking.

This type of pattern is common among law enforcement agencies in the United States, and Bruce is naturally very aware of the secrets involved.

There is a limit to self-respect in raising a dog. The purpose of raising a dog is to relieve yourself from the pressure of security and defense, not to endanger your own safety. Therefore, once some evil plants grow too vigorously, they need to be pruned or even destroyed.

Judging from Bruce's own experience, the size of the Confessional Cartel is likely to have crossed the line, especially when they are involved in the Mexican affairs, which is quite sensitive and dangerous.

Once the FBI thinks they can no longer control the dog, then he has to be screwed, because the FBI has paid a heavy price for breaking this pattern, and now they are becoming more and more cautious. .

It is not easy to solve the Confession Cartel. The nature of transnational drug trafficking organizations means that it is easy to solve only the part within the United States. Wildfires will not burn out, and spring breezes will blow again, and things will become more troublesome by then.

And judging from the current situation in Mexico, the FBI should not be able to spare time to deal with another venomous snake entrenched in Guazhou, so killing someone with a borrowed knife is the best way.

It was indeed Bruce's plan to lead the Penitent Cartel to Gotham, but he was not confident enough to think that anyone else would not take advantage of the scheme. If the FBI wanted to borrow Batman's knife, then a few mysterious cases would be the best bait. .

Gordon and other police officers in Gotham City are not capable of investigating such unsolved cases, and ultimately have to turn to Batman. After discovering clues related to drug cultivation, Batman, who knows something about the Repentance Cartel, will probably Target this organization.

Batman faced off against the Penitent Cartel, and the FBI solved two big problems at once. Bruce didn't believe that the FBI would not rekindle its desire to intervene in Gotham when the situation in Gotham got better day by day.

Bruce is now 80% sure that the FBI is indeed involved. The question now is where Amanda and her special case investigation team are, whether they know about it, or they are actually a part of this situation.

This is not impossible. Although they always ridicule the level of the FBI, it is also due to their well-known and almost non-existent bottom line that they have been notorious for their misdeeds.

"I guess he has suspected everyone in his life." Schiller said in his heart: "Now he should have just uncovered the FBI's old accounts."

"You're so bad." Hui Wu commented.

Bruce didn't want to waste any more time and immediately said to Gordon: "There is something fishy. I'm afraid it won't be completely resolved tonight. Let's go back first and talk about anything in the morning."

After saying that, he got into the car without looking back. Gordon could clearly sense his anger, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just left some policemen to clean up the scene and got into the car together.

It was almost dawn at this time, and Schiller was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and concentrating, and he couldn't help showing a tired look. However, Bruce was still there and asked: "Professor, what kind of person do you think Amanda is?"

"Amanda Waller, former head of the FBI's Special Case Group..."

Bruce frowned. He thought Schiller would tell him what Amanda's psychological weakness was, but Schiller told him an obvious fact, and said that there was some information hidden in this fact that he didn't know.

Bruce has also heard about the special case investigation team. This team can be called a flexible team within the FBI. They are usually called on to deal with cases that are not manned to solve or are of a special nature.

It can be heard from this work content that this is not actually a very important group, because compared to other problems that the FBI has to solve, the special cases committed by serial killers are not that important, because even the most brutal It is difficult for a serial killer to kill more than 20 people in his lifetime. For the FBI, this is a negligible loss.

As for superpower crimes, the FBI doesn't care because they are not responsible for anyone with superpowers. In short, we are all ordinary people, why should we catch superpower criminals?

Wait, if the number of serial murders in the federation increases until it arouses public attention and public opinion, then the FBI will have to take care of it even if it doesn't want to. And if there are not many of them with such experience, then Oman Da must return to their field of vision.

Bruce didn't think Amanda would be that smart. While guiding him, he guided the FBI to set up a dragnet just to get himself further. If she had this ability, she wouldn't have to go around in such a big circle.

Countless clues swirl around Bruce's head, one part Confessor Cartel, one part serial killer, one part FBI.

The Confessor Cartel and Batman are in conflict, the serial killer continues to commit crimes until he attracts attention, and the FBI is under pressure to transfer Amanda back and restart the special case investigation team. Who can benefit from these three things at the same time?

A name slowly emerged in Bruce's mind - Green Arrow's Oliver Queen.
