"Can I try it?" Williams said. "Can you tell what I'm thinking?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "I think the children's offense is enough for you to make one condition. If you want me to see what you are thinking now, I will not help you with anything else later."
"They could go to jail," Williams said, emphasizing.
"Then I'll inform Bruce Wayne," Schiller said. "As for the others, they don't look like they'd go to jail."
Williams glanced at the interrogation room. He was not blind. He knew that the people from the Guardians of the Galaxy were a bit too advanced even for the open-minded East Coast. They were obviously from important backgrounds and it was unlikely that they would be locked up in prison.
As for Bruce Wayne's two adopted sons, being sentenced to dozens of hours of community labor was an opportunity Bruce wanted to use to educate his children. If he wanted to protect them, such a small matter would not be able to shake the big tree of Wayne.
Schiller seemed to have made the decision for him. Williams noticed that the way Schiller was observing him had changed. He couldn't explain what the feeling was, but he felt like he was being nailed and pierced by something.
After a few seconds, Schiller turned his eyes away slightly and said, "You can go back and think about it. I still have classes. I'll leave first."
He stood up and left without even asking the kids a question. Williams stood up almost at the same time, watching his back as he walked out of the room, his face looking somewhat gloomy and uncertain.
Suddenly, his phone rang. After he picked up the phone, his face changed and he roared at the other end: "It was sealed?! Why was it sealed?! My procedures are legal... I'll go over right away..."
After Williams left, Gordon released the group of people in the detention room and told them, "If anyone asks, just say that I bailed you out. Here are the procedures. It's best not to cause trouble again when you go back."
Dick immediately gave him a hug and said, "Oh my god, I knew you were the best, Uncle Gordon."
Watching them walk into the summer heat, Gordon stood at the door of the police station and shook his head. Suddenly, a young police officer ran over and whispered something in Gordon's ear. Gordon raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"you sure?"
"It's true, Chief. The place has been sealed off. There are FBI agents everywhere. Ah, not just the FBI, but also a group of guys with purple logos on their clothes. I think their name is...Federal Emergency Investigation Agency?"
Gordon kept repeating the name, and after a while he said, "Since something happened on my territory, I can't just ignore it. Go get the car ready and we'll go."
Sirens blared through the streets and just as Gordon opened his car door, the overwhelming heat wave almost pushed him back.
He shielded his eyes with his hands, mustered up the courage to get out of the car, and then rushed to the shade of a nearby tree as fast as he could. The policemen behind him followed suit.
Gordon looked over there and actually saw some people whose uniforms were different from those of FBI agents. They had a round purple logo on their chests, and the pattern looked like a shield.
Then he saw a familiar figure in the crowd - Amanda Waller.
Amanda was the same as before, still in uniform and looking arrogant, while opposite her was Williams who looked a little exasperated.
Gordon turned his head and looked at the construction site. The metal wall that suddenly appeared before had disappeared. There was a circle of gullies in the middle of the construction site. It seemed that the metal wall had been dug out from the bottom.
But at this time the construction site was completely surrounded by cordons. To be more precise, the entire lake was surrounded.
Seeing the two people arguing, Gordon knew it was time for him to take action. He walked over immediately and took a breath as soon as he walked over.
Looking to the right from where the two were standing, there was a fenced area behind Amanda's office car, which was filled with all kinds of bones.
Based on Gordon's extensive experience, they were all human bones.
This was really interesting. Gordon swore that he was not gloating, because he was an eyewitness to the incident and knew that most of the bones thrown into the lake were bones of clones. Those clones also hurt their subordinates, so naturally he could not be sad.
He moved a little closer, and indeed, Williams was roaring angrily, "I don't care what case you are investigating, my construction site must start as scheduled! You can't just seal it off like this..."
"Mr. Williams, I must remind you that even though your construction site has just started, the time you submitted the approval is not recent. In other words, you are suspected of committing a crime, and you will have to cooperate with our investigation later."
"Are you crazy? How could I possibly kill so many people?! This, this, this, this... there must be dozens of them! And more have been salvaged! I'm not a terrorist, how could I possibly kill so many people?!"
But Amanda was so good at dealing with people like this that she said lightly, "Yes, you may not be able to kill so many people, but who knows if one or two of them were done by you? Can I just ignore it if I kill one person?"
"You're not from the FBI!"
"I'm sorry, but my authority is higher than that of the FBI." Amanda's voice gradually turned cold. She took out her ID, flashed it in front of Williams and said, "Federal Emergency Investigation Agency, you can also call us Federal Shield. We suspect that the large number of bodies in the lake may be related to some supernatural things, so we are ordered to investigate. Here are my ID and search warrant. If you continue to hinder the investigation, we have the right to arrest you for obstructing public service and endangering federal security."
As Williams opened his mouth to say something, Amanda leaned forward and said in a low voice, "You go. You can continue to work after we finish our work. If you don't leave, the news that dangerous supernatural events have occurred in this lake will spread throughout the entire East Coast tomorrow. After your resort is built, who will dare to come?"
Williams' face first turned red, then turned from red to purple, from purple to blue, and from blue to black.
Now Gordon knew what Schiller meant by the perfect plan. If Gordon were to give an evaluation of this plan, it would definitely be genius.
Williams's method of acquiring the land was legal, and although he had some tendency to build illegally, no one had definitive evidence until the resort was completed.
However, if a homicide had occurred here, and it was a very serious homicide with dozens or hundreds of bodies found, then the FBI's investigation would be more legitimate.
The FBI is the biggest gang on this continent. As long as they have a search warrant, there is no door they dare not kick down. Let alone Williams, even if he changed his name to Donald today, this construction site would be sealed off.
And although Williams is very shameless, he is still not as good as Amanda, who has been studying this art for decades. Shamelessness is considered a skill for a businessman, but it is just a basic skill for a spy chief.
Indeed, it was Amanda who invented human cloning, but the past is the past and the present is the present. Don’t worry about who invented this thing. As long as something goes wrong and it is exposed to the public, Amanda will have work to do. Once the case is solved, it will be easy to get funding.
Schiller's move of driving the tiger to devour the wolf is really his style. Gordon thought that these two people might have a fight, but judging from their character, the better off killing one, the less one. If they could die together, it would be a great joy.
When Jason and Dick returned to Schiller's home, Aisha's investigation finally made some progress. She looked through all the surveillance footage she could find four years ago, and finally found one of the rented excavators in a surveillance video at a corner of a street.
It was a bright red excavator, the color was very eye-catching, so it was easier to notice. The last time it was captured by surveillance, it was driving out of Gotham along a road called Pomegranate Street and heading to a very remote place.
Elsa checked the map and found a forest there, which was the largest green forest around Gotham, but there was no surveillance installed there, so Elsa didn't know where the final destination of the excavator was.
But this did not prevent her from ordering the Robins to investigate there to see if there were any signs that anything had been dug up.
Dick and Jason set off immediately after receiving the mission. Before long, they arrived at the edge of the forest. They climbed over the hills and controlled the drone to take pictures around them.
Then they soon found the high school which was very close to the forest, and as expected, they discovered the remains of the junior high school and elementary school departments that Pamela had searched thoroughly.
Anyone could see the abnormality here. The two dug around and found some foundation fragments.
Aisha also found the history of the school in the information database and learned that the junior high school and primary school departments had been demolished 10 years ago.
This actually confirmed her guess. The project four years ago was not a big deal. It was not the entire building that was demolished, but it was probably a supplement to the previous demolition project.
However, it had already been demolished once ten years ago, so why did it have to be demolished again four years ago?
Aisha speculated that the stairs were demolished ten years ago, and the foundation was left there. Then four years ago, six excavators dug up the foundation again and covered it with soil, completely hiding all traces of the existence of the junior high school and elementary school.
This means that someone realized that there were flaws in the project ten years ago, so they tried to make up for it again four years ago. Following this logic, the elementary and junior high school sections were probably demolished not because of poor management, but because there were something in the buildings of these two schools that needed to be destroyed.
And this kind of thing must never see the light of day again, which is why it had to be demolished twice, ten years ago and four years ago.
The answer was already apparent, but no matter how hard Dick and Jason searched, they couldn't find anything. There was no evidence of the crime they wanted. There were only some fragments of the foundation underground, and nothing else.
Dick judged from the state of the soil that someone had recently turned the place over. They suspected that some of the eyewitnesses of that year had returned, but there was no doubt that he had done a good job, and there was no trace of suspicion at all.
The clues were cut off and the investigation came to a standstill, but Aisha was not discouraged. She began to investigate from a social engineering perspective, that is, to investigate the manager named Bob.
After searching using his photo, Aisha also found a photo of him and Williams, but she also discovered that Bob had been married, and there was a photo of him and his wife after a banquet in the database.
Looking at the blonde woman holding a wine glass in the photo, Aisha felt that this might be the key to obtaining new clues.
Schiller: Yes, I can read minds.
