Chapter 18 18
There is only a table and two benches in the dark room, and the incandescent light hits him from the opposite side of Sixing.
Si Xing had to squint his eyes to see Dick in front of him. There was another man in police uniform standing beside Dick, not Jack.
It was James Gordon.
This Gordon police officer must be at the scene as long as there is a Batman crime scene.
Although James Gordon has not yet become the chief of the police department, he is already appointed and everyone's default next chief.
With Gordon here, Dick can't just let Si Xing pass the test.
"Name?"
"Asa Carter."
"What were you doing at 8-12pm on the night of the incident?"
"In a nightclub."
"Did you know we just got a blood sample from the dead man at your house?"
"I don't know, I rented this room on the 12th, and the room on the 11th still doesn't belong to me."
"Is there any witness to prove your statement?"
"Have."
Dick suddenly knocked on the table hard, and asked in a cold voice: "You'd better make sure that there is no lie in your words, otherwise this will become your criminal evidence."
Si Xing was taken aback by Dick's actions, and he shrank instinctively as if he was frightened.
Half a second later, Si Xing said again in a low voice, "The person who rented the house to me behaved very strangely. It stands to reason that such a house should not be rented to me so cheaply. He said he was in a hurry, and we didn't even sign the contract." He's gone."
...
...
Dick asked some more questions, and Gordon answered the phone and left after a short while. Dick immediately relaxed. He knew that the company had done nothing and there was no need for an interrogation, but the procedure still had to go.
Especially in front of your own leaders.
Seeing that Dick had relaxed, Si Xing simply lay down on the chair and crossed his legs on the table.
Similarly, in order to cooperate with Dick, Si Xing also pretended to be scared. He would never admit that he was indeed frightened by Dick's sudden strength for a moment.
Dick has always shown a kind and gentle appearance in front of him. Even after discovering his true identity, he did not choose to report to the police, which made Si Xing puzzled.
If you catch the Origami Phantom Thief, you can get a lot of bonuses, right?Maybe Dick Grayson, Wayne's adopted son, didn't care about the little money.
But the glory that would come with catching the Origami Phantom Thief would make him better off than he is now, with the right to a position in the police force that befits him.
Si Xing didn't want to meet Dick Grayson. He even stayed at home for several days without going out to trouble him. It was as if he and Grayson were connected by an invisible thread. Dick always It was possible to find him through that line.
Dick leaned in front of Si Xing, shaking his palm in front of Si Xing. "Si Xing? Are you listening?"
Seeing that there was no response from the other party, Dick knew that Si Xing was distracted.So Dick sighed, curled his fingers and flicked Si Xing's forehead.
"?!"
"What are you doing?" Si Xing leaned back and covered his forehead with his hands, his beautiful amber eyes filled with disbelief and shivering.
"Huh? Me? To pull you out of the hula-la state?" Dick blinked innocently.
Dick used so much force that Si Xing once suspected that Dick kicked him before retaliating against him.
"It's over, you can go back," Dick said again, remembering something, "You may not be able to go back now, the police are still inspecting and sampling your house."
"It is preliminarily speculated that your landlord killed the woman. The woman is a... er, □□, they met to do something in the house you live in now, but I don't know what made him angry to kill that woman."
This is actually a very simple case that often happens in Gotham, because the case is caused by money.
Even if Dick didn't see the blood in Si Xing's house, they had already locked their targets in the vicinity, and it wouldn't take long to find out who the murderer was.
Si Xing shrugged, these things have nothing to do with him, he doesn't care, all he cares about is when he can go back to the house.
"How long will it take them to finish?"
Dick speculated, "Huh? In two or three hours?" His tone was uncertain.
Since the owner of the house had dealt with it after the incident, and Sihang obtained the right to live in the house and made built-in modifications to the house, there were actually not many clues they could get from it.
The main reason is that it will take some time to collect blood samples at the scene and restore the scene. It is enough to investigate the list of recent departures, find out the suspects one by one and call them back to the police station for comparison.
The secretary clicked, he pushed open the door of the interrogation room, and walked around the GCPD office area. From time to time, the voices of people greeting Dick and the voice of women inviting Dick came from behind him. It could be heard that Dick was very popular.
The driver walked out of the police station.
Smelling the familiar and polluted air floating in Gotham, Si Xing exhaled. The police station is really uncomfortable. He used to stay in the cold and narrow interrogation room and detention room a lot when he was a child.
When he was a child, Si Xing was locked in the police station because of theft, and the handcuffs were hung on the railing. The height was very ingenious. He couldn't stand upright or squat down, so he could only maintain a hunched posture for a whole night.
It's just because he stole two loaves of bread from the bakery - he had awakened his ability to hide and be hungry for too long, and he couldn't bear it.
So Sixing has always hated the police station and the police in the United States. He has been punished unequally. The police don’t care how long you are hungry or how old you are. As long as they think you should, then you should. Many criminals died.
Wearing a shell called justice, he actually used that blue uniform to cover up his dirty self.
"Why are you still following me?" Si Xing turned his head to stare at Dick who followed him out of the police station.
Dick blinked and said, "I don't have work this afternoon."
Dick had a rest this afternoon, and Dick believed that his team members could complete the task without him. Dick was only going to command. It would be better to wait for the team members to collect all the evidence, and then lead the team to arrest people.
Dick is now more curious about what the company will do now that there is no home to go back to.
But what does this have to do with you following me?
Si Xing didn't say this in the end, he sighed softly, he really didn't want to try hard to drive Dick away, he drooped his shoulders.
Forget it, just follow Dick if you like, he doesn't do bad things, what else can he do to catch him?
Thinking about it like this, Si Xing didn't bother to take care of it.
Dick didn't share the disgust of Commander-in-Chief that an American policeman would.
Si Xing glanced at Dick. Dick was bathed in the sun. His black hair was not fixed with hairspray, and it was casually scattered on his forehead. His whole body seemed to be emitting light. If there is no smile.
It looks very clean, not at all like people from Gotham. How could Gotham breed such sunny and clean people?Si Xing couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Los Angeles can also raise criminals like him who fit Gotham, so it's no big deal that Gotham has good people.
Si Xing withdrew his eyes and continued to move towards the destination in his heart, when Dick put his eyes on Si Xing.
Si Xing's black hair was tied into a ponytail, and the breeze swayed his ponytail. From Dick's perspective, only half of Si Xing's side face and half of the back of his head could be seen, and some loose shirts were tucked into his belt In the middle, the belt bound Si Xing's waist, making him look extremely thin.
No matter how you look at him, he is just a very ordinary young man. It is hard to imagine that such a person is a well-known origami monster all over the world.
Under the candy-colored signboard, two boys about fourteen or fifteen years old were lying in front of the glass window, drooling at the colorful ice cream cones in the glass cabinet.
You can’t blame them, these cones look so good, with Oreos sticking to the pink crispy skin, and the ice cream is in the shape of a bunny, sprinkled with candy crumbs, it looks very appetizing.
Ned wiped the corners of his mouth, realized that there was no drooling, and then he relaxed and said: "I suggest that we divide the money into two parts, one part is used to buy ice cream, and the other part is saved to study the route and take a taxi. How about it? "
Peter struggled to look away from the cone, and said in a somewhat tangled voice, "We don't know how far it is from our destination. Every dollar we spend may add to our burden on the return journey."
That's right, these two are Peter Parker and his best friend Ned. Today Midtown High School organized students to visit Gotham for a two-day tour.
While queuing up for a group photo in Memorial Park, Peter keenly noticed a robbery happening in the corner.
So the hero complex in his heart was at work, he and Ned rushed up and tried to catch the two robbers.
Peter didn't notice that the two robbers did not succeed in the robbery. He just chased after him. After chasing for an unknown distance, the two robbers disappeared into the alley.
And Peter and Ned turned their heads and didn't know where they were. The worst thing was that their mobile phones and most of their money were in their backpacks, which were in the car.
Miserable for Peter and miserable for Ned.
So there is this scene of them staring at the ice cream in the glass cabinet now.
The two of them only had 30 dollars for dry clothes and pants. If they bought a cone, it would cost at least half of the dollar. Peter was not sure if they could take a taxi back to the meeting point for the rest of the money.
That's Gotham's Great Library.
So Peter and Ned now have a disagreement. Ned wants to give half of the money to buy cones, while Peter is worried that the rest of the money will not go back to the meeting place.
Peter had to admit that the cones in the glass cabinet were really tempting. Just seeing them made Peter's mouth water a lot.
He kept thinking about it, the taste of the white icing cone, sweet, and it would turn into a milky sweet liquid with a light sip.
When Si Xing saw the two of them, he unconsciously remembered that he was exactly like them when he was a child.
In summer, he and his eldest brother lay on the window of the ice cream shop with their cold glass eyes stuck to their faces, unable to move away from the model cones in the shop.
Perhaps the biggest difference between them and these two children is that they don't think about whether to take money to buy it, because they don't have money to buy cones at all.
At this time, the eldest brother would wipe the drool on his face with his sleeve, pat him on the back and say, when he has money, he will definitely treat him and all their partners to eat cones and buy him One of the prettiest.
Thinking of that scene, Si Xing couldn't help but chuckled, and when he noticed Dick's gaze, he withdrew his smile again.
Dick misunderstood something from Si Xing's expression, he said to Si Xing to wait for me, and walked straight into the ice cream shop.
Through the transparent glass, Si Xing could see that Dick was talking with the young female shopkeeper, who took out her mobile phone and said something to Dick with a shy expression.
Seeing this, Si Xing couldn't help frowning, feeling a little inexplicably unhappy, what was he doing?Make an early date for a later date?Open Yankees.
Even thinking this way, Si Xing didn't take his eyes off them at all, he still stared at Dick and the female shopkeeper.
Si Xing didn't know what he looked like in the eyes of passers-by, his eyes were fixed on the two figures in the store, his teeth unconsciously bit his lips, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he had witnessed It's like seeing a boyfriend cheating on the scene.
Seeing Dick shaking his head at the shopkeeper, Si Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could look away, he saw Dick and the shopkeeper looking at him at the same time.
