Chapter 16 16
It can be seen from the blurry glass that Si Xing is wearing a pullover, which was bought with the money he stole from the man who wanted to hook him up in the bar yesterday.
Si Xing was holding a paper bag in his hand, which contained the pajamas he bought yesterday.
The secretary threw the coin into the public phone in the phone booth, poked the number on it with his fingers quickly and skillfully, and dialed the phone.
"Asa?" After Selena answered the phone, she didn't ask who the other party was, as if she had guessed in advance who would be calling her at this time.
Si Xing glanced at the countdown on the phone, there was still one and a half minutes left, and he could chat for a while.
"How did you guess it was mine? Selena." Si Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, he changed his position and leaned against the transparent glass door, with one hand resting on the elbow of the other.
The padded hand was holding a public phone.
Selena's sneer came a little far away, and the next voice came closer.
Si Xing guessed what Selena was up to just now, where else could Selena go during the day?Except home.
Maybe Selena just feeds the cat at home.
Si Xing thought of Selena grabbing the naughtiest little black cat in her house from the top of the cat climbing frame.
"I'm not stupid. There was such a big commotion in the Arkham Asylum yesterday. Almost everyone knew that the clown had escaped from prison again."
"I guess he must be interested in 'The Origami Phantom Thief', the clown brought you out?" Selina asked casually.
Speaking of the clown, Si Xing couldn't help touching the burn on his cheek, his eyes darkened.
"Ah... sort of. The Scarecrow is a hypocritical traitor." In fact, he himself could have escaped from Arkham.
"What does this have to do with the scarecrow?" Selena became interested. She sat on the sofa and changed her position, crossing her legs and sitting up.
"He was still talking about asking me to go out with him during the day, wanting my blood for research or something, and at night I found out that I was sold to a clown."
Si Xing couldn't help sighing, "This is the criminal of Gotham, tsk tsk."
"Don't use him alone to represent the criminals in our entire Gotham, but you are right to say that, who is not going to fly away when the catastrophe is imminent?" Selina excused herself.
"I have to find a time to move out of Gotham. The salary is less and the environment is more crowded, and I have to be wary of the bat monsters that will appear on my head at any time."
"You don't want to live in Gotham?" Selena was a little surprised.
It is no surprise that Gotham is the most suitable city for criminals to live in. How many criminals want to leave Gotham?
But Selena did not get half of the love and obsession for Gotham among the majority of Gotham criminals in Si Xing's tone, or anything else.
Si Xing understood the possible meaning of Selena's words, he stood up, glanced at the time, there were 30 seconds left. "I'm not from Gotham, are you home? I came to you to get my part of the 'salary'."
"Oh, come on. I'm at home, it's really hard for you to block Batman and Robin for me this time." Selena.
Si Xing lied without changing his expression: "Yes, they beat people very hard. Even if I used my ability, I could only hold them back for more than ten minutes."
Si Xing selectively forgets the part where he surrendered directly.
After hanging up the phone and walking out of the phone booth, Si Xing noticed that there was already a drizzle in the sky.
Si Xing put his hood over his head with one hand, and walked lazily towards Selena's house with his head drooped.
Sixing got the money and immediately rented a house nearby. For some unknown reason, a house on the seventh floor with an elevator facing the street, with good lighting and a lot of space was much cheaper than the dilapidated house he rented before. .
The owner seemed to have something to do. After contacting him on the phone, he rushed to sign a 3-month contract with him and left without giving him any money. This made Si Xing wonder for a while that the owner was a criminal who wanted to escape. .
Of course Si Xing, who thought he had found a cheap one, happily moved the sofa to a position where the light could shine.
Logically, the clown should contact him to work these days, but Si Xing heard that the clown had just escaped and was taken back to the Arkham Asylum by Batman, together with Harley Quinn.
Si Xing could only be thankful that he didn't get in the same car with them that day, and even silently gave Harley Quinn a thumbs up in his heart.
After going out for a big purchase, Sixing stays at home and never goes out again. The next time he goes out is to 'work', he must choose someone who is not well-known.
Collectibles that won't catch the attention of Batman and Robin, and not with Catwoman, by the way.Catwoman claims to be Batman's ambiguous object, who knows if Batman will give her water.
Will Batman see himself as Catwoman's partner to release water for himself?Sixing recalled Batman's exposed square jaw and cold blue eyes.
impossible.
Si Xing didn't want to make trouble, but trouble found him on time.
When the knock on the door came, Si Xing was folded on the single sofa, with a pair of shorts under his body, his legs dropped outside the sofa to face the sun, his upper body nestled in a place where the sun could not shine, his arms covering his eyes for a nap.
The next second, he let go of his arm and opened his bloodshot eyes.
It's better to have something urgent, otherwise he will let the person who knocked on the door be very powerful at night.
Si Xing stood up, wiped his eyes with his bare feet, staggered to the door, and twisted the handle.
When the door was opened, the uniformed police officers immediately took out their identification documents. "GCPD."
Si Xing tilted his head, his first reaction was that Dick revealed that he was the Origami Phantom Thief, and Si Xing had a piece of paper caught between his fingers in Si Xing's lowered hand.
Before the police officer spoke, Si Xing had to pretend to be an ordinary citizen.
He tensed his body and raised his head, yawning and nonchalantly asked the black policeman in front of him who was one head taller than him: "What's the matter, sir?"
The tone of the black police officer is very friendly, he naturally knows that GCPD is not popular among the citizens. "We're investigating a recent case that happened around here."
"About what? I will provide everything I know." Si Xing immediately relaxed when he heard that it was not about him, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the investigation.
When the black police officer saw Sixing's cooperation, his business-like face suddenly collapsed, and he said with a sad face: "Actually, yesterday we received a report that we found a female body near Adams Port.
She was stabbed multiple times before she was thrown into the water, and we found the murder weapon around here. "
"That's really..." Si Xing pretended to draw a cross on his chest, expressing his regret for the deceased. "May she be well in heaven."
In fact, this kind of behavior is just that Si Xing doesn't want trouble to find him.
With one hand on the black police officer's shoulder, a black-haired young man in uniform appeared from behind the black police officer. His black trousers and short boots made his legs extra long.
The young man has a face that Si Xing will never forget in a short time, with a handsome face and bright sky blue eyes.
Dick Grayson.
Dick didn't notice Si Xing immediately, he greeted his companion first. "Jack, what are you talking about with this homeowner?"
"It's nothing sir, I'm asking him something." The black police officer immediately looked serious.
Dick is not an annoying officer, on the contrary, he is a very respected police officer. Dick is the fastest police officer to pass the police academy assessment and join the police station as the captain of the Criminal Investigation Department over the years.
At the same time, he is also a police officer who thinks about his team members. Usually they fight together, and when he is working, he will let them rest on time and work until the end by himself.
Dick earned the respect of all the players he managed.
The Secretary noticed this, and Dick was respected.
At this moment, Dick set his eyes on Si Xing, who was leaning on the door frame with his arms folded, oh, this is still an acquaintance.
Si Xing had messy black hair, and he was wearing a large black T-shirt that exposed his neck and part of his collarbone. The poor-quality T-shirt had misspelled words printed on it.
The lower body is a pair of dark beach shorts, with thread ends hanging from the beach shorts hanging on the white legs, bare feet, those legs are dazzling white under the light, and also exude a soft red light.
Dick noticed that the burn scars on the other person's face had disappeared.
He barely looked away, just in time to meet Si Xing's undisguised gaze towards him.
Si Xing seemed to be telling Dick through his eyes, if you look at me one more time, I will kill you.
In fact, Si Xing is just expressing through his eyes that if you expose my real body, I will kill you.
Dick couldn't hold back his 'puchi' laugh, and he immediately withdrew his laughter when the black police officer was puzzled.
Dick said: "Well, you can ask, I'll watch."
The black policeman immediately became tense, and Dick hurriedly gave him a comforting smile, which made the black policeman relax a lot.
The black police officer asked, "Where were you doing that night on the 11th?"
The 11th happened to be the day Sixing escaped from the Arkham Asylum. He went to a bar to steal something, so naturally he couldn't say that directly.
"I'm at the bar...to have fun." Si Xing.
Regarding Si Xing's lies, Dick would not choose to expose them.
The black police officer lowered his head and recorded the words of the secretary on the paper, and asked at the same time: "How about specifics? You can't stay in the bar all night, right?"
"I was in the bar from about 8:10 to [-]:[-], and then I went to a friend's house." Si Xing.
The black police officer frowned, and asked in one breath, "My friend's house? Address? Contact information? What's the other party's name?"
Si Xing glanced at Dick, but didn't speak.
The black police officer looked up at Si Xing and said in a serious tone: "Sir, please cooperate with my investigation. If you don't cooperate, I have enough reasons to suspect that you are related to this case."
"Maybe you should ask your officer about it." Si Xing changed his posture and leaned against the door frame, his head was tilted, and his black hair blocked part of his eyes.
"The address is: 1107 First Avenue, Sheldon Park, and the contact information is: XXXXXXXX." Dick coughed lightly and said, "The name is Dick Grayson."
The pen of the black police officer has never been touched since the moment his officer began to speak.
He raised his head to look at the officer whom he respected a lot, and then turned his eyes to Si Xing, and his eyes kept moving between the two of them.
and many more! !
What does the officer mean by this?
The 'friend's house' that this gentleman is talking about is actually the chief's house?So this also explains why so many people are investigating the residents here, and the chief only came to see himself?
Why didn't the officer greet this friend at the beginning and tell him that the two of them knew each other?
Plus the gentleman said he was at a bar before and then went to a friend's house.Is it possible that this might be the Chief's one-night stand?
Jack felt that he might be the truth.
In fact, this is not the case.
Dick didn't make it clear that they knew each other at the beginning, because he didn't want to affect Jack's judgment because of their 'knowledge' relationship, but Dick forgot that he 'picked up' Si Xing at the bar on the night of the 11th.
That's why Jack misunderstood his relationship with Si Xing.
Neither Dick nor Sixing wanted to explain this misunderstanding.
