After making sure that the police were led away, Catwoman carried Millie to her car. She didn't want to deal with Millie, but where should she send her? Crime Alley was not safe without Catwoman.
Catwoman's "Iceberg Chemical Plant Accidental Explosion" plan is scheduled for tonight, so as long as Millie sleeps through tonight, it will be fine.
She thought about it and found a place that was absolutely safe——
The house that Millie was assigned to for her job was located in the old city, and it was said that she had only one female student roommate.
Catwoman's car was driving in the opposite direction of everyone else, but she didn't know that there was someone who could keep an eye on her movements on the map while riding a motorcycle.
Maybe it's because there's no need for me to pay attention to it, and I just assign tasks to my AI.
Tim, who seemed to be about to catch up, actually changed into his uniform at the corner and went into the next room.
In the room, two small gangs who were conducting a transaction were looking at him in horror: "Robin——"
Tim sighed silently.
A few minutes later, Tim lifted one of the men with one hand and pressed him against the wall. "Now we can talk normally. Who is next door? I don't believe you didn't check the location when you traded."
The bruised little leader gasped: "I remember... yes, there were two women. I only saw two women there, and one of them looked very familiar..."
"I remember!" he suddenly shouted, "It's Catwoman! I've seen her!"
Tim frowned: Catwoman and a strange woman?
The surveillance in Crime Alley was almost entirely vandalized by the local residents, and has never been successfully repaired over the years.
He left the man behind and jumped onto the beam of the house next door. He saw a car driving away from the backyard. It was too late to chase it now. Tim took a photo of the car and uploaded it to the network terminal with his mobile phone: "Oracle, I need your help."
Oracle is Barbara Gordon, Batgirl, who has superb computer skills and has always been able to do a good job in technical support. Although Tim can do a great job, he is now unable to do it.
Then he climbed into the room through the window, quickly checked every room, and took a photo of the group photo on the bedside.
The photo shows Catwoman and another younger girl.
He also sent the photo.
Soon, Oracle sent a real-time updated dynamic picture.
[I hacked into the road surveillance system network and from the zoomed-in surveillance camera, I can see that the person driving the car is Catwoman... The other person lying in the back seat can only be seen in the hair.]
[I compared the photo you gave me, and the database shows that this person's name is "Millie White", and she is the secretary of the current mayor.]
"The mayor's secretary lives in Crime Alley?" He climbed out of the room, making sure he left no trace, and quickly changed his clothes not far away.
[She was born here. This house once belonged to her mother. After her mother died, her father became an alcoholic. One day, he drank too much and fell to his death. Millie grew up with the help of others, went to college and left Crime Alley.]
[But she would come back occasionally to take a look, and it seemed that Catwoman had supported her.]
"Where did you find these?"
[Just look up her student records. Her school's emergency contact is "Selena Kyle." It looks like they are like family. Robin, what are you looking for?]
[Recently, Bats has also been investigating the mayor, so I have actually checked these data. By the way, regarding the previous incident with the Penguin Man, it seems that a new super villain has appeared in Gotham City. I will send you what Bats has found out.]
[His code name is "Mr. C."]
"I'll come to you when I need help. Thank you, Oracle."
But now he wants to investigate on his own.
"By the way, Oracle, under what circumstances do you think a person would have words engraved on the back of their neck, not as a tattoo, but as a brand?"
[To be honest this reminds me of a lot of bad guys who like to do this, representing it as their property or trophy?]
After hanging up the call, Tim began to sort out his thoughts.
"Since we are unable to find out the name of the deceased, we will use the brand on the back of her neck as a replacement, VV."
"VV first appeared half a month ago. At that time, she seemed to want to sneak into the mayor's office and ran into Peter... Later, Peter said that she disappeared directly in the office. She seemed to be very familiar with that place?"
——Now that I think about it, it may not be infiltration. The office may have been open to her. What is her relationship with the mayor?
"The new mayor's behavior is a little strange. She seems to have bought a lot of strange items from some mysterious person," Tim looked up and saw the lush tree next to the house. "Now that I think about it, that guy should be "Mr. C". Batman checked the fund flow of the City Hall Logistics Department and found that funds were indeed deposited into a secret account, and then things like trash cans and roadside trees appeared in the logistics warehouse..."
"The second time I saw "VV" in person, was she working with the forces that brought down the Penguin Man? She was here to help her companions pick up the goods."
"Now, assuming the female police officer was right, no, she should have been right, and all the clues were connected, then VV had also been in Crime Alley. Secretary Millie might not have gone home to visit, but took this opportunity to meet with VV and exchange information?"
The problem is...
"Is VV the mayor's man, or Mr. C's subordinate?"
Tim thought: "If she was the mayor's man, why did she go through the roundabout way of meeting him in Crime Alley? The first time she went directly to the mayor's office, it must be because Peter's appearance caused trouble, so she changed the way of doing business."
"VV is Mr. C's subordinate."
So the conclusion is most likely that the mayor wants to change Gotham, so he cooperates with Mr. C.
Mr. C is a gamer, because he thinks it is very interesting, so he provides her with many conveniences. VV is responsible for contact and also serves as the mayor's informant. Is Mr. C a magician?
——It is not difficult to understand why the corpse is in that state, to keep it as it is or just for fun.
Tim thought about VV's condition when he first met her, and the image of an unknown corpse covered in dirt appeared in his mind again. Maybe Mr. C wanted to preserve her appearance after her death, and then threw it aside because he got tired of it.
The incorrupt corpse soaked in sewage, without a name or origin, just like every Gotham person in Crime Alley.
When he met her, he never thought that their next meeting would end like this.
Tim stared at the words on his phone and frowned in disgust.
"'You don't understand the game'... Yes, but Gotham is not your playground."
Now the question is, what role does Catwoman play in Mr. C's transaction with the mayor?
Catwoman stole the mayor's earrings at the previous party at the Wayne family. Was it a threat or a message?
We must find the catwoman.
He sent a message to Peter and hurriedly left Crime Alley - he believed Peter would bring the body back, and Tim's target was the car heading towards the residential area of the old city.
Finally, I can show off the motorcycle skills I just learned - that's what Weiwei thought.
If Qiao knew what she was thinking, he would probably climb down from the motorcycle even if he had to crawl.
Weiwei glanced at the map casually, paused briefly at the points of [thief] [secretary], then turned the car around and headed straight back.
"Where are you going?" Joe shouted into the wind.
"We just need to go to the front and block the people," Weiwei said without further explanation, "Don't worry, I know the route."
You know? What route do you know?
Joe was about to say something when he suddenly found himself floating in the air. He subconsciously grabbed the back seat of the motorcycle and was horrified to find that the back half of the motorcycle was directly lifted up. Then, with the downward impact, the newcomer rode the motorcycle at a speed that seemed to be speeding no matter how he looked at it.
He's not wearing a helmet!
In the mayor's office, the black screen of the computer suddenly lit up, and a map appeared on the screen. A red route started from Crime Alley and went to the old city, and a green route circled in Crime Alley. Both routes were synchronized to Weiwei's screen at the same time.
The red route is the escape route taken by the [thief] in the original room, and the green route is the route taken by the [thug] who stole the car and ran away.
[At your service, Madam Mayor.]
But after a few minutes, the computer screen dimmed and turned off automatically. The route transmitted to Weiwei was still updating normally, but the room was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.
Weiwei didn't know what was happening at this time.
But the AI monitoring the surroundings knew that someone was coming.
In the Mayor's Lounge.
A bat-shaped, palm-sized drone flew in through the window and landed on the door handle of the lounge.
After extending a spider-like mechanical arm and turning the door handle, the mayor's office finally appeared on the screen on the other side - the screen in front of Batman.
After determining that the mayor herself seemed to have some problems, Batman decided to start from her and investigate her relationship with Mr. C. The most convenient way is to place surveillance and eavesdropping equipment in places where she often stays.
The office was very dark, no one was there so the lights were off, and there were no windows in the room so no natural light could get in.
Batman frowned, and the drone flew up silently, presenting a VR-like observation angle to the other side of the screen.
There was indeed no one there. The other employees outside were all working and might have thought that the mayor was still indoors, but in fact he had already left.
The computer was on with a black screen, and the only noise was from a robot vacuum cleaner connected to a vacuum cleaner in the room.
After placing a eavesdropping device under the desk, the drone flew over the computer under control. Oracle said that she failed to break into the mayor's computer because the computer's defense level was very high and it would take some time.
Batman decides to steal the contents of the other party's computer through physical means (USB drive).
He was committing a crime, of course, but he had to do it this way to make sure nothing went wrong.
He is always suspicious and doubts everything before the problem occurs. As an ordinary person, he must have a plan to deal with criminals in advance in order to protect Gotan when the crime occurs.
The drone slowly stopped, its mechanical arm extended, and Batman heard a "buzzing" sound approaching.
He realized something was wrong: "Alfred—"
The sweeping robot had climbed onto the desk at some point, and a more robust mechanical arm with a sharp curved blade at the end extended from the bottom, which dismembered the drone extremely quickly.
The screen in front of Batman went black, and the eavesdropping and monitoring devices left behind quickly lost their signals.
Out of his sight, the sweeping robot dumped all the broken parts into the trash can, then restored itself to its original state and continued to "buzz" around the office performing its mechanical cleaning work.
Weiwei sneezed and rubbed her nose.
Can I catch a cold while playing games?
She remembered that when she placed the order for building materials, she also ordered a batch of metal materials that the AI needed. Her AI did start doing the work of a cleaner. With the materials, it said that it could also modify a cheap sweeping robot to help her repair the hole in the wall.
After eighteen days, the wall in the office finally seemed to see the light of repair.
A group of NPCs and no reliable AI yet!
She turned the handle to speed up, and as Qiao screamed, the motorcycle jumped up and hit the hood of a car that appeared from the corner, leaving a dent. The gangster who was driving the car stepped on the brakes in horror and was thrown into the airbag.
"Safely landed," Weiwei snapped her fingers, "We caught him."
Qiao gasped and trembled as he said, "This is...the police car!"
Weiwei:?
This is a necessary sacrifice in pursuit of criminals... You won't ask me to pay for it, right?
