What the prisoner said made Bai Ye feel very funny.

This stone immediately became the first candidate in his mind.

Acts alone, doesn't like to talk to others, and spends a lot of time alone.

These are all consistent with the image of [judge] in reasoning.

Bai Ye asked a few more questions, what else did these people know about the stone.

The prisoners did not reveal any more valuable clues.

After all, this stone has very little contact with anyone, which means that other people don't know much about it.

Bai Ye kept this person's information firmly in his mind. He planned to look for this person when he was free in the square tomorrow.

In the afternoon of the second day, there was free time in the square.

Baiye told Kuromao and the others to do whatever they wanted, and not to follow him all the time. Hearing this, Kuromao and the others seemed to be on vacation, and dispersed in a hurry, running off to do what they liked.

During the white night, I walked around the square, paying attention to anyone who was alone.

One of the characteristics of stones is that they are solitary.

This activity square is relatively large in order to accommodate many prisoners for activities at the same time. And it has a very good feature, that is, there are no dead corners.

In order to facilitate management, prisoners who hide and want to escape will not be accommodated. The square is designed very reasonably in all directions, with no visual blind spots.

Bai Ye walked along the edge and paid attention to where the person he was targeting was.

According to the memories and descriptions of the prisoners, Shitou is difficult to find. His appearance is ordinary, and he is not tall, short, fat, or thin. He is the kind of person who will disappear directly in a sea of ​​people.

It is because of these characteristics that Shitou can be invisible in the crowd, and it is difficult for others to find his traces.

This gave Bai Ye a bit of a headache. He had already walked around the edge of the square for almost a full circle, but still hadn't found his target.

Bai Ye even wondered if this stone could slip out quietly without any prison guards discovering it?

In other words, the stone is not here at all today?

Bai Ye thought about it while searching.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly noticed something in the corner of his eye.

It looked like a big gray stone.

This kind of big gray stone is too common and ordinary. For ordinary people, even if they see this thing, they will immediately ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.

But Bai Ye soon realized something was extremely wrong.

This square is very flat, how could there be big rocks?

He immediately turned his head and discovered that it was not a stone, but a person!

This person was wearing gray clothes and almost blended in with the gray square ground. He lowered his head and was very low-key. And he was taking action at this time, walking slowly.

His appearance is very ordinary, without any special features. He would be immediately ignored among the crowd.

Bai Ye immediately realized that this person should be the stone he was looking for!

He immediately came over.

Shitou was used to being alone, so he obviously didn't expect anyone to notice him. Before he could react, Bai Ye said directly: "[Judge]?"

Shi Shi's reaction was quite dull, as if he didn't know what Bai Ye was talking about.

Bai Ye didn't notice the shock or disbelief, and he could already tell in his heart that the stone was not the [Judge].

If it was really him, his acting skills would be great.

At the same time, Bai Ye also opened the data perspective. From the data perspective, it can be seen that there has been no transformation on the stone.

In other words, he is not a Night City player at all.

Without being a player, it would be impossible for [Judge] to show so many incredible abilities. Bai Ye almost understood in his heart that this stone was not the person he was looking for.

Shitou looked at Bai Ye at this moment and said warily: "What are you doing?"

Bai Ye asked tentatively: "Brother, why do you act alone? And it seems difficult to be noticed.",

Shitou just shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you." After saying that, he immediately turned around and left as if running away.

Bai Ye knew that this stone was completely a social terror. He was very introverted and didn't like talking to other people.

With such a personality, coupled with his very unobtrusive appearance, it is very natural for him to disappear into the crowd.

Bai Ye looked slightly disappointed.

But he also knew that it was impossible to find the goal he was looking for overnight.

[Judge] Being able to hide in this Black Lagoon Prison for so long without being discovered and still doing his thing proves that this person is hiding very well.

It's basically impossible to find it all at once.

After crossing the stone target off his list, Bai Ye continued to investigate...

That night.

Several people opened their computer terminals and began to share their results over the past few days.

Several people paid attention to different suspects. However, after investigation, they found that none of them was the person they were looking for.

Some people may seem cynical, but they lack the ability to do anything.

Some people seem to have some abilities, but after careful investigation, it is just a coincidence.

Several detectives looked a little frustrated.

Not being able to find it is actually not a problem, but what makes them feel most uncomfortable is that there are almost no clues so far.

Spencer said: "Today, we can eliminate only about 20 prisoners in total. At this speed, it is simply impossible to investigate the entire 1,000 people."

What he said is correct.

There are four detectives in total, and each of them investigated two or three people. In addition to Bai Ye's Black Hair and others, these are the only people who can be sure that they have nothing to do with the [Judge].

As for the remaining people, it is impossible to complete the investigation at their current speed.

Coupled with the interference of a large number of unknown factors, things will become even more troublesome.

"I do have a way to eliminate interfering factors." At this time, Mrs. Qiangwei, who had been silent, said: "I asked someone to compile a list before, and on this list are people who will be executed within a week.

people."

"We don't need to investigate these people who are about to die. There is absolutely no way they are [judges]."

"What a great idea!" Bai Ye and others said appreciatively.

What they can be sure of is that the [Judge] will definitely not impose the death penalty in a short period of time. Because after he committed the last crime, he also made a notice, saying that he would do these things as usual next month.

Every death row inmate knows how long it will take for him to be executed, and the [judge]'s time will definitely be much longer than a week.

Moreover, with his own ability, he can completely delay time.

Mrs. Rose shared the list. There are five people on it, including their names and general characteristics.

After crossing out these people on the list, the four detectives updated a wave of prisoner lists.

"By the way. I contacted an agent today." Spencer said, "I asked him to help us find if there are any hidden areas in this prison."

"Hidden area?" Don Juan asked curiously.

"That's right." Spencer explained: "Black Lagoon Prison is so big and it took a long time to build."

"According to the information obtained before, this prison has been renovated four or five times. Is it possible that this place actually has a hidden area that others don't know about? And [Judge] is very likely to be hiding here.

, so it won’t be discovered by others for a long time.”

Spencer's statement triggered a new round of thinking in Bai Ye and the others.

"It feels very possible."

Bai Ye pondered and said: "But if there are hidden areas, the people who are most likely to know these areas are the ones we have never suspected."

"That is, people other than prisoners!"

"The warden and jailer, are they related to the [Judge], or even simply the [Judge]?"

After Bai Ye finished speaking, the other three people were silent for a moment.

"Although they will move more freely, we cannot rule out the possibility you said..."

Spencer said: "It's even possible that they predicted this in advance and deliberately directed the investigation in the direction of the prisoner."

The investigation direction of several people has taken a new turn.

If this is really the direction, things will be even more troublesome.

In particular, prison guards and wardens are people who can interfere with their investigations to some extent.

The prison guards don't even need to show up in person. They can completely disrupt their plans by secretly changing the schedule.

Not to mention the warden. He even directly knows the identities of several people and what cases they are investigating. If it is really him, he can use various methods to hinder them without being caught.

They found out.
