NOVEL NEXT The Legendary Life Beginning from American Comics
Chapter 44 Another Edward who loves to guess riddles
Police station, file room.
Alex wanted to get a file and found the staff here.
"Miss Alex."
"Edward, how many times have I told you, don't follow me? I'm not interested in you." Alex from the weapons depot pushed his eyes and looked at the slender man in front of him, his tone a little impatient.
The Edward in front of him was not the famous detective in the police station, but an auxiliary policeman in the archives room who was sorting files.
His full name is Edward Nima.
This person obviously has no ability to solve crimes, but he still likes to make people guess riddles every day, which is quite boring.
"Miss Alex, what do I want to give you but you don't need it? What do I need but you are unwilling to give it to me?" Edward Nyima did not give up. He looked at Alex and chased after her.
Alex rolled his eyes at him, then turned around and looked at the time mark on the file shelf: "Edward Nima, I have said it several times, I have no interest in your riddle! No! If you are interested, please don't bother me. Okay?"
Detective Edward walked to the file room unknowingly, glanced at the busy police officers behind him, sighed, and collected himself.
Go to the archives and calm down. At least it's quiet in the archives.
Detective Edward pushed open the door of the file room, looked at the man and woman inside, was stunned for a moment, and then walked silently towards the depths of the file rack.
"Good morning, Inspector Edward!" Alex's smile caused the apple muscles on his face to lift his glasses.
Edward Nima looked at Alex, who was smiling, and then looked at the detective with envy, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
Sure enough, compared with the detective, he was nothing.
To be in shape or not.
Want good looks but not good looks.
And he doesn't have the courage and strength of the detective.
The case cannot be solved.
Can only be an archivist.
Edward Nima felt completely suppressed in all aspects in front of Edward.
No, I still have a chance.
Edward Nima raised his head and looked at Inspector Edward:
"Come in from me, come out from me, what am I?"
"?" Detective Edward raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled.
Alex complained helplessly to Edward: "Here we go again, Edward. Damn it!"
"..." Inspector Edward felt that Alex was cursing.
Alex continued to explain: "Detective, please don't mind. He just likes to guess riddles with others, so don't worry about him."
Edward Nima looked at Inspector Edward with a vague expectation in his eyes.
As if expecting Edward to answer his riddle.
If Detective Edward can't answer his riddle, it means he is the smartest one in the police department.
Detective, you don’t know such a simple riddle, right?
Edward Nima stared at Inspector Edward seriously.
Inspector Edward also looked at Edward Nima.
In this way, the two looked at each other for nearly half a minute.
In the end, it was Inspector Edward who couldn't help but speak first: "Where's the puzzle?"
"???" Edward Nima's head was full of questions, and then he said again: "The one above is the puzzle, come in from me, come out from me, what am I?"
"Oh, you mean this one? It's too simple." Inspector Edward shook his head, looking disappointed, "It's just a chrysanthemum!"
"In and out... something like that... What kind of riddle is this?"
Alex's eyes widened.
It turns out...the answer is this...
I thought it was the one above...
Edward Nima was stunned for a moment and did not react at all.
Because...this answer and what I expected were completely two things I didn't want to do.
and…
This answer is quite outrageous!
The answer he set is a portfolio, because he is the archivist, so it makes sense to set the riddle as a portfolio.
Documents enter the portfolio and are taken out of the portfolio. One in and one out. Isn't this the function of the portfolio?
Isn't that obvious?
But... the answer to the mystery mentioned by Detective Edward seems to be correct after thinking about it carefully...
So, is this an answer or not?
Because the final answer is very different from his standard answer.
"..." Edward Nima fell into deep thought.
My own puzzle actually has multiple answers.
failure.
No, I want to think of a perfect puzzle.
Seeing that the other party was in some kind of embarrassment, Alex found the required file and invited the detective to go to the weapons depot to check the usage of the weapons and then register them.
……

at the same time.
Mengge reported to Gordon the news that it was in the top ten hot searches today.
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Director Gordon's face was filled with happiness.
It's nice to hear good news early in the morning.
Although last time, Inspector Edward's becoming a police star was put on hold.
However, the pressure from all sides still made him very tired to cope with it.
The New York City Police Department is essentially a service department hired by the government. Since it is a service department, it is at risk of being replaced at any time.
Especially when superheroes are more efficient, faster, and stronger in law enforcement, and one superhero can outperform dozens of ordinary police officers.
This may cause the government to directly cut the financial expenditure of the police department in the future.
Instead, hire superheroes to replace the police department as a public service.
Therefore, after the investigation report appeared, Gordon felt a strong sense of crisis. The police department might be reduced to an inconspicuous small department, or even be directly axed.
Conducting a poll means that the people above have already had this idea.
Therefore, the emergence of police stars is actually a kind of resistance to the government above, making citizens and people above them aware of the importance of the police station.
This time is a good opportunity.
The reason why Gordon didn't push Inspector Edward out before was because there was no entry point.
If we just introduce Inspector Edward in a rigid and mechanical way, it will be counterproductive to draw a tiger instead of a dog.
But in today’s video, someone took the lead and had the effect of testing the waters.
After looking at it, this effect is not bad.
Naturally, Gordon couldn't give up this great opportunity.
Gordon looked at Mongo, "If the media comes to interview Inspector Edward, you can handle it. Adhere to the same concept, be neither proactive nor passive, and achieve good publicity effects."
"..."
Mongo walked out of Gordon's office in a daze.
Not proactive, not passive, but also to achieve a good publicity effect, this... this... what is this?
He somewhat understood why some people hated Party A so much.
……
……
New York City, South, near New Jersey.
A basement.
"This new talent selection will still be held in New York City?"
"Well, let's arrange it in New York City. Those who can join the Black Skull organization must be geniuses among criminals. The two people trained last time just robbed a MM bank and were stopped by the people of the motherland. This can only mean that They are not qualified enough to join the Black Skulls.”
"I heard that there seems to be a police chief in New York City. Some people say that one person destroyed an organization. It seems very powerful."
"Oh? Then I'm interested. You go and take a look first. I received a bounty mission and need to deal with a second-rate superhero in New Jersey first!"
In the darkness, the man's figure appeared. He was wearing a metal armor. The metal helmet was black and white, and two cloth bags hung down behind his head, just like Rambo's headdress.
Alex wanted to get a file and found the staff here.
