The Death Knell

"Ton ton... ah--~~ hiccup!"

Su Ming mainly checked the paper cap on the milk bottle. The bottle itself was handed over to Harry beside him. As a result, when Deathstroke communicated with the person who stopped laughing, she raised her neck and drank the milk. strange sound.

"Honey, this milk has been in front of the corpse for at least two days, why are you drinking it?" Su Ming looked at the white circle around Harry's lips, covered his forehead a little speechlessly, and slowly Walking towards the cloak that has been spread out: "And why didn't I know that you like to drink this? You obviously didn't even order milk yourself.

"No, I like to drink, but this is not to help you find clues." Noticing that everyone was looking at her, Harley quickly wiped her mouth like nothing, spit out the white bubble gum in her mouth, and replied with a smile: " Besides, I know in my heart, chemical waste and Xiaohong's saliva will be fine if I drink it, will I be poisoned to death by a bottle of milk? Haha!"

Under the dim moonlight, she laughed wildly, obviously confident in her digestive system.

Diana put away her sword, shook her head, and pulled Kara onto the flying carpet first. Obviously, there was nothing she could do about Harry.

"So what did you find?" Pulling the woman into his arms, Su Ming also jumped onto the flying carpet and looked at Harley's snow-white face: "The milk has not clumped for a long time at room temperature, and it has not become moldy. Either it contains a lot of milk Preservatives, or something wrong with the timeline, which one did you find?"

"The latter, my dear, based on my years of dealing with various beverages in Gotham, I can confirm that the milk is very fresh, as if it has just been squeezed out, and it is even warm in the mouth."

Smiling and sticking out her tongue, Harry let Deathstroke see her tongue coating, and at the same time said in a low voice, which seemed sneaky:

"And this community, no, this city also has problems. We know that it is now 2077, and New York has become a city like a hive. When you go out, there are hundreds of skyscrapers, and you can't see the sky when you stand on the ground. , flying cars everywhere, light pollution everywhere. But what about Ivy City? It and its nearby suburbs seem to be stuck in 2010.”

As a psychologist, Halle is not a detective, but she has keen observation skills, which is also one of the necessary qualities in the psychological counseling industry.

Before Death Knell took everyone from house to house to turn around a lot of houses, starting from the victim's family, Halle began to look around. Everyone thought she was planning to get some spoils, but they didn't know that she was observing the internal conditions of the house.

Houses are good houses, and the furnishing is good, but...just for the early 2000s.

In addition to the personal terminals that people wear in these people's homes, they no longer see any futuristic home appliances in the style of technology, no neon decorations, no Chaomeng chips that can be seen everywhere, no new chemical narcotics, and even storage None of the drinks were shiny.

Ordinary spring mattresses, non-electric toothbrushes, manual razors, outdated children's game consoles, and so on.

By looking at those things, Harley determined that the level of technology here was almost a century behind New York, as if...someone had finished remodeling New York and forgotten about the humble little place of Ivy City.

Of course, this is just a conjecture. If you want to verify this conjecture, you still need to go to Metropolis and Washington DC. If there has also "developed" to the stage of future technology, then this matter can basically be determined- -

Someone is constantly fiddling with the timeline, which has a subjective element that creates this jerk.

"That's still a discovery related to the world itself." After hearing what Harley said, Su Ming touched the cloak and let it take off to the location of the dairy company: "It's like everyone here is like a puppet." , As for why, there is not enough clues to judge yet, let's catch the milkman first."

"Of course, I also want to see what kind of person this serial killer is. Of course, Little Tangdou is also looking forward to it, and she is also curious.

 …

The Dairy Company is not a cattle ranch, and despite its suburban location, the huge tanks and chimneys make it look more like a chemical business.

Although bottled milk is said to be fresh milk, it should also be added

Artificial processing, at least after high temperature sterilization before filling, is a kind of agricultural processed products.

However, compared with the cyberpunk atmosphere in New York, this factory seems to be a lot behind the times, and the high-tech machinery is invisible at all, and even in the middle of the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, there are still many full-faced workers here. Smiling man is working.

They were all wearing different types of terminals, operating various machines as if they were sleepwalking, some were driving tank trucks, some were moving boxes, and some were in charge of opening and closing pipes.

A scene of work in full swing.

But no one spoke, no one rested, everyone was like a gear on the assembly line, afraid that Su Ming and his party would pass by them, and these people would not respond, except that they would automatically bypass a few people.

This kind of scene in the middle of the night really makes people feel chills down the back.

"Here, it's quite fragrant, just the smell of boiled milk." Kara sniffed, but immediately picked up the bottle and took a big sip, as if being aroused: "But there are too many people here Now, who the **** is the milkman we're looking for?"

"See who behaves the most abnormally, that's who." Diana had already picked up her sword and shield and was ready to fight.

There are pipes and equipment everywhere in the factory area, but the lights are very dim. Now she always feels that someone is spying on everyone from the dark, which makes the hairs on her arms stand on end.

The scent of milk floats in the air, UU reading www.uukanshu. com If you wake up in the morning and smell it, you will probably feel very warm and relaxed, but it is a bit awkward to see smiling people numbly engaged in this work.

After listening to Diana's thoughts, Kara activated her super power, that is, clairvoyant eyes, to search for individuals with different behaviors from others in the factory area.

"Focus on the warehouse and the parking lot. Su Ming narrowed down the scope of her investigation: "Our murderer is a milkman. His job does not need to go deep into the factory building. Vans, and then just go deliveries everywhere.

This time is almost exactly the time of delivery. If it is a normal timeline, people should wake up and drink milk every morning, so the delivery will naturally be brought forward, before dawn.

But at this time, the timeline everyone is in is not right. People are almost in the state of "escrow", and no one orders milk delivery service, so logically speaking, this factory has been doing a weird thing all the time. That is, the processed milk is continuously returned to the furnace for remaking, and the internal cycle is completed one at a time. There is nothing about the pasture cows and customers at all.

So at this time, if someone is really driving a car to deliver milk, then he is undoubtedly the murderer.
