Batman sealed the banana in a transparent sealed bag and put it away - taking it back for fingerprint testing, and ignored Robin's teasing.
Then he asked Tim to use an instrument to scan the shoe prints here——
"The estimated height is 162cm, which matches the girl I saw last time, but the mercury box weighs about 100 pounds. Even if she is a strong woman who can carry the box at high speed, the footprints she left on the ground would not be like this."
Batman: "Is there a fourth force present?"
"It could be her companion," Tim shrugged on the other end of the communication. He seemed relaxed, but his eyes were focused and he spoke quickly. "Our priority target must be the unknown companion. I was detecting air residue, and there was no special smell left. When you were defusing the bomb, I was paying attention to the sound-detecting device and did not capture any human figures. The fourth person is more like a ghost--"
He exhaled, "I am now more inclined to believe that the penguin man did not prepare any mercury at all. It was an empty box, so the girl took the opportunity to take the box away."
In reality, however, the marks left on the ground reveal the weight of the box.
This conjecture is not true.
"That doesn't explain the banana." Batman said, and quickly chased in the direction where Vivi left - the positioning device left on the other party failed again, but he was able to find the other party based on his experience and observation.
Tim's expression was strange for a moment: "Yes, that banana..."
He muttered something under his breath, which was not so funny to him now.
"I'm trying to track the call you received. The other party's method is very sophisticated. I can't crack it in a short time."
He had to admit that he couldn't do it, but admitting it was also uncomfortable for him.
"Don't be impatient," Batman comforted him, although it didn't sound so comforting when he said it in his changed voice, "I think I'm about to catch up with her, and then we'll know the answer."
He confirmed the location:
[Diamond District]
With a detailed map that was updated in real time, Weiwei thought for a moment and headed towards the Diamond District.
Since the penguin man wanted to trick her, she would of course trick him back immediately because she is a person who does not hold grudges.
So Vivi's goal was simple: sneak into the Penguin's base, drop a bomb on the Iceberg Restaurant, and then walk away. She didn't care about Batman, because in Vivi's opinion, the previous game plot had ended, the mission was completed, and she ran away smoothly...
Um?
on the map.
The Batman dot was getting closer and closer to her location, as if they both had a map. Vivi circled around several times, but not only did she not get rid of him, she got even closer to him.
...Brother, where did you buy it?
Weiwei silently lowered her head, staring at the straight, wet row of fresh shoe prints on the ground, then glanced at the increasingly close distance. Not only was she not angry, but the corners of her lips curled up.
The game is really fun.
She climbed up the escalator, stepped on the ground, took off her shoes and threw them into the sewer manhole. With two "splashes", the pair of shoes that had been with her for a long time floated up and down with the water, and no one knew where they would drift to.
The moonlight is like silver.
She walked barefoot on the diamond avenue. There was no water here. The dry land seemed to be in two different worlds from the underground. In front of her was the bright and clean Iceberg Restaurant. Weiwei raised her hand to unbutton her coat, quickly took it off, and held a corner with one hand.
"Bat," Tim said as a small screen in the Batcave suddenly zoomed in. "I found her."
The girl in the surveillance video was running barefoot on the diamond avenue without any scruples, which made her stand out from the men and women around her who were dressed in formal suits. She suddenly raised her head, as if she had a strange eye contact with Tim behind the screen, and then she threw up the brown coat in her hand.
The coat flew up, covering the surveillance here, and Tim almost immediately switched to other angles. At the same time, he heard a chuckle.
When the coat fell, the girl was gone, and chaotic screams were heard from the surveillance camera——
Right in front of the Iceberg Restaurant, there were no girls, only a familiar bomb.
The Gothic people realized what was happening and screamed and ran away in all directions. Their reaction speed was proportional to the volume of their screams. They cleared a space in almost an instant. Tim sent the coordinates to Batman and stared at the chaotic scene, speechless for a moment.
After a while, he said slowly: "Wow..."
Gotha is a wonderful city that always breeds charming crazy people.
When Batman arrived, Vivi had already put on her glasses and high heels. She raised her hands to press down the veil she had taken out from space, and left the source of the chaos among the crowd.
However, the bomb probably won't explode, she thought with some regret but not too much regret.
By April 6, the sixth day of the game, Weiwei had obtained a full 6 liters of mercury.
The Penguin Man was amazing, he really delivered the real goods, but he also really wanted to kill the customer and Batman together. When describing the remote control, the system mentioned that the electromagnetic device of the bomb linkage must be controlled at close range, which gave Vivi a chance to survive - otherwise she would have to throw away another body.
In addition to the mercury donated for free by the "kind" Mr. Cobblepot, there was also mercury purchased by Vivi using her privileges. Sherk was really capable. Although Vivi did not reveal the plan to him, he was able to accomplish tasks with half the effort.
For example, if he found out that his boss wanted to buy out all the mercury on the market, he would simply try to cut off the penguin man's supply.
"With a little help from Mr. Black Mask," the secretary said at the time, "after all, in his eyes, I have not betrayed him and am still a useful collaborator."
He laughed: "I really didn't betray him, because I was never his person."
Serge's ambition does not allow him to be anyone's subordinate. He wants to climb up at all costs, such as to become the mayor.
At this moment, he seemed to have done it——
At least he is doing the work that should have been the mayor's.
But the real mayor lady always has other things to do, such as playing on the computer all day, finishing a detective novel, spending a day reading old gossip magazines and laughing at the photos of Playboy Bruce in the magazines, tweeting with photos every day, appearing and disappearing suddenly, and then issuing some strange and inexplicable orders.
Anna Alec is not a qualified mayor, and Sergei Benoloff is not a qualified secretary, but now he wants to see what kind of changes Anna will bring to Gotham.
——And when exactly this woman will die.
He would be her ambitious and loyal dog until she died.
"Most people know that Iceberg Chemical Factory is purchasing materials, right?" The mayor, who had obviously just returned, took off her silk wide-brimmed hat. "I hope you can disclose this matter to prevent anyone from doubting the authenticity of the incident itself, but no matter how they doubt it, I don't care—"
"This factory is going to be blown up in the future anyway."
The woman in front of him brushed her golden hair and said lazily, "When the time is up, find a way to tell the penguin people that the experiment in the factory has been a great success. It doesn't matter what experiment it is."
"I hope Batman doesn't come to cause trouble. He's not the one I want to target."
The woman seemed to have thought of something, tilted her head, and smiled at Sherk: "You can do it, right?"
Behind the lenses, her silver-gray eyes were as cold as metal, and Sherk almost immediately lowered his head.
"Of course."
This chaotic night is not over yet.
Because Batman went straight to the Penguin himself - if he couldn't find a buyer, at least the seller wouldn't run away.
However, the Penguin Man didn't know much either, and he didn't connect these two transactions with "Mr. C". In fact, his business was quite big, and Mercury was just a small one. The only thing that made Cobert a little confused was that for some reason, he sold all his inventory, as if he would sell it as long as the other party wanted it.
...However, this vague sense of strangeness was not strong, and he soon forgot about it.
Batman returns with nothing to show for it - except for beating up the Penguin.
If he didn't happen to find strong evidence, he wouldn't be able to put the Penguin Man in jail, and even if he was, he had plenty of ways to get out.
This is Gotan.
But he beat up the Penguin Man.
Well...that's one of the reasons why Penguin Man is in such a bad mood.
Near dawn, the men he had gone to trade with were finally brought back. The small leader struggled to tell the big boss what had happened:
"Our trading partner seemed to know everything, including Batman's location and the arrangement of the bomb. We were unable to defeat Batman, nor were we able to successfully detonate the bomb—"
"Then what use are you!"
The Iceberg Restaurant was smashed into a mess. The Penguin Man sat on a clean chair while his injured men lay on the ground. The others surrounded them. After the Penguin Man finished speaking, the rest of his men stared at these bad bastards with unhappy expressions.
"My bomb was perfectly planned," the penguin gritted his teeth. "Who removed the synesthesia?"
The atmosphere was extremely depressing for a while.
"No... they all fainted at the time," said the little leader again. "When I woke up, Batman didn't seem to realize that I was lying, nor did he realize that Hawke was the one with the remote control. I don't know what happened afterwards..."
But they would not betray the Penguin Man casually. The so-called "betrayal" under Batman's questioning was just a trap.
If you can buy a few minutes, you can take Batman to hell with you.
So in theory, the remote control cannot be detected at all.
The penguin man slowly walked to Hawke's side. His loyal subordinate, who was willing to die for him, seemed to want to prove himself. He immediately took out the remote control in his arms and showed it to the penguin man with his hands open.
The hall, which had been a little noisy at first, suddenly became silent.
Or rather, the silence was a little scary.
Hawke looked up suddenly, only to see the Penguin Man's furious expression.
He was stunned for a moment and found that the touch in his hand was not right.
What the fxxk! ?
What he took out was not a remote control.
Whose fucking toy is this——
Before he could explain, a black umbrella hit him with great force, brushed past his head and fell to the ground!
Penguin: "Fxxk Batman!"
