On the second day, the headline of Gotham City's largest daily newspaper reported the robbery of a bank in the city center yesterday.

Two pictures were printed on the right side of the newspaper.

The picture below was taken by the reporter wearing a hat yesterday. A female police officer pointed a gun at five citizens wrapped in blankets, and Gordon, the police chief, stood beside her.

The picture above was a slightly blurred figure.

The perspective was from bottom to top. On the top of the three-story building, a man in a suit was waving M dollars. Looking along the rain of M dollars, citizens who stretched their hands to the sky like zombies were densely blocked in front of the police.

The news title was as eye-catching as the photo -

'The real criminal is at large, and the police want to use civilians to take the blame? Can we still believe them? '

The content of the news was not as sensational as the title, but the focus was also on condemning the Gotham police for being too inefficient, allowing the criminals to escape.

The second half of the content seems to be information obtained from the police, saying that the criminal escaped from Arkham Asylum and is suspected of having a mental illness. It is also speculated that after robbing a large sum of money, the criminal is likely to flee Gotham City, and warns citizens to be vigilant against suspicious people.

"It's terrible, how could a mental patient escape!"

A man in a gray suit flipped through a newspaper, with a large suitcase beside his legs, and complained.

He sat in the airport hall, waiting for the first flight of the day to take off.

Because it was too early, in the entire hall, apart from him, there was only a man wearing a hat not far away. The other party had not moved and seemed to be dozing off.

Gotham City itself is a relatively closed city. Citizens rarely go out, and people from outside rarely come in. There are not many flights per day, and the ticket price is still very expensive, but even so, it is said that municipal subsidies are still needed every year.

Therefore, it is unusual to appear at the airport early in the morning.

The man hadn't taken a plane for a long time. If the company hadn't fallen out with a partner in a neighboring city and he had to apologize in person, he wouldn't have had to make this trip.

In the suitcase was a precious porcelain that the company wanted him to take to the other party as an apology. In order to protect it, he bought a large suitcase filled with foam. Even when reading the newspaper, his hands never left the suitcase, for fear that it would be broken by accident, and his entire trip would be meaningless.

Just as he put down the newspaper, he turned his head to observe his reflection on the transparent glass door.

He got up in a hurry this morning and had no time to take care of his hair. His short black hair was a little curled up. He stretched out his hand to smooth it, but the strand of hair stubbornly resisted his hand.

At this moment, the glass door opened and a young man walked in.

The two looked at each other and smiled politely.

The man looked at the man calmly.

The other person was also wearing a suit, but it didn't look right. The cuffs and shoulder lines showed that the suit was a little too big. There were beads of sweat on his face. It was obvious that he had run here. Moreover, he didn't bring any luggage on the plane, not even a bag...

The man's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

No way...

He glanced at the newspaper beside him and swallowed unconsciously.

The newspaper said that the bank robber was likely to leave Gotham. In addition to the train station, Gotham City only had this airport. If you want to escape quickly, taking the earliest flight is indeed the best choice.

He nervously gripped the handle of the suitcase and looked around. In the empty hall, apart from the three of them, there was only a cleaner in the distance cleaning.

"Are you also on the 7 o'clock flight?"

A voice sounded beside the man.

He trembled, calmed down and turned back.

"Yes, I'm on a business trip to the neighboring city."

"Oh, I'm going there too. Is that a newspaper? I came in a hurry and didn't have time to buy one. Is there anything interesting in it?"

The young man was a few seats away from the man and took the initiative to talk to him.

The man hesitated when he heard this question, and then said, "It is said that someone robbed a bank in the city center yesterday, and the main criminal has not been caught after escaping."

"I also heard from others. Is there a photo of that person on it?"

Seeing the young man's curious look, the man took the initiative to hand him the newspaper.

The man's face was not photographed on it, but it could be seen that the other party was tall and thin, and his figure looked similar to the young man in front of him.

The man lowered his head to adjust his cuffs. He seemed to be indifferent, but his mind was always on the person next to him.

He found that the other party paused after reading the content of the newspaper, and he was more convinced in his heart.

He pretended to go to the toilet, and after saying something to the young man, he pushed the box slowly to the bathroom.

As soon as he entered the door, he immediately took out his handThe plane called the police.

The young man outside was relieved after seeing him leave.

Thinking that the person he casually talked to might be a mentally ill person who committed a serious crime, he felt stiff all over, and managed to keep his expression unchanged without being noticed.

In order to attend his sister's wedding, he came to Gotham without even taking his luggage. This morning, he found that his clothes were full of alcohol and stains that had been stained at some point.

He couldn't delay today's work, so he had to borrow his brother-in-law's clothes to catch the plane, but he didn't expect to meet this man.

Although the suit he was wearing looked very high-end, his hair was messy. In the short time he came in, he looked around at least twice.

And his suitcase looked very new, very similar to the cheap suitcases sold in the shops near the airport.

Who would buy a suitcase on a business trip? And he was so nervous that he kept it in his hand all the time, even taking it to the toilet.

What was in it?

Could it be money?

The young man looked at the newspaper in his hand again. The criminal on it was also wearing a suit, although it was not gray. The more he looked at it, the more similar they seemed.

Did the man really go to the toilet? Or did he notice something was wrong and wanted to escape?

The young man suddenly looked up at the person who had not made a sound, and stood up and sat next to him.

"Hello, I think the man just now is very likely the main culprit of the bank robbery in the city center yesterday. When he comes out, I would like to ask you to help me subdue him."

Xie Qi, who was wearing a baseball cap and casual clothes, opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

At this time, the plane had arrived, and the broadcast notified that the passengers had got off the plane. There were gradually people at the airport.

The young man was afraid that the man would escape in the crowd, so he looked at him anxiously.

Originally, he came here to pick up Sergei who came by plane. Xie Qi didn't expect that someone would mistake someone else for himself.

Thinking that this matter was quite interesting, Xie Qi smiled and said to the young man:

"Okay, I'll help you."
