"To report to you, the explosion that occurred near the boiler area in the eastern district of our city from the evening of the 24th to the early morning of the 25th was actually caused by a natural gas explosion in the counterattack of the escaped criminals when the police were arresting the criminals. At present, the criminals have been arrested by the police. But there are still some fugitives at large. Citizens, please pay attention to the unfamiliar faces around you. Log in to the official website of 'Fugitive Watch' to view the photos of all fugitives. If you choose to report, you can get a reward of 5,000 to 30,000 US dollars..."

The reporter on the screen was still chattering away. Outside the screen, Dick was spreading peanut butter on bread. Tim was holding the handle of his coffee cup, supporting his chin with one hand. Bruce hadn't woken up yet, and the old butler went to call him again. On the screen, the photo of the captured criminal was a clear headshot of the killer crocodile even after being blurred.

"What's life like as a police officer in Bludhaven?"

"Not bad," shrugged Dick, who had always had a good relationship with Tim, "but not as exciting as Gotan."

"Seriously," Dick glanced at the TV, "Has Killer Crocodile started looking for subordinates? Hasn't he always been a loner?" He was referring to the "remnants" mentioned by the reporter.

Tim's laptop was placed beside him. He typed a few keys and turned the screen to show his brother: "No, these 'remnants' actually have nothing to do with the killer crocodile. They are all criminals who already existed in the East District."

This "Fugitive Watch" official website seems to be newly built. The picture is simple, but the photos and resumes of each prisoner are very eye-catching. It is divided into two modules: [On the run] and [In prison]. He switched to [In prison] and found that the top picture was of Batman's old friend - Chou.

Tim, who was drinking coffee, snorted.

There is another line of text at the bottom, indicating that this website was jointly developed by "City Hall, GCPD, Blackgate Prison, and Arkham Asylum" and that an APP version is currently being developed.

But the current version is not very secure, and Tim thinks he can break it with just a flick of his finger -

Otherwise, why don't he strengthen the firewall of the website for free?

He could also help develop the app version, because Tim found that this was indeed a good thing.

Unlike Batman, who can be very stubborn in some situations, Tim is the one in Robin who is most like him, but he also has his own personality. He agrees with Batman's philosophy of not killing people, but he is sometimes more flexible than Batman.

Dick finished his bread, propped up the table with one hand, and turned over to look at Tim's computer screen from behind. When he saw the photo of Xiao Chou, he couldn't help laughing. He spread his hands and said, "It seems that I haven't paid attention to Gotan for only a month, and Gotan has changed a lot. I almost thought I hadn't been back for a year."

Tim: “It started with the new mayor taking office, but this change may not be a good thing.”

Dick understood what he meant: "That Mr. C..."

Tim projected the contents of the computer, and faces appeared on the circular virtual screen, including Anna, Bella, and Vivi.

"He is behind everything, driving everything. He was behind the riots in the East End last night."

While the two were talking, Bruce came downstairs in his bathrobe.

The man was like a lazy black panther at this moment. Away from the identity of Batman, he was actually much softer in his daily life. I wonder how much he heard about the topics discussed by his two adopted sons.

At this time he said: "The guards of the town hall used a cryo gun to freeze the assassin with self-healing ability and put him in an ice coffin prepared in advance."

Dick laughed. "So the mayor knew about that guy's weakness from the beginning... No, Mr. C knew it from the beginning?"

"Not only did they know from the beginning that the weakness was freezing..." Tim rested his chin on his hand, "but they also knew where the enemy was long ago. There were no casualties on the City Hall side last night. If this is a war, then there is no doubt that the mayor won a great victory."

Let the assassin hold Batman back, use SWAT to clear the criminals, and the City Hall guard who was late for the conspiracy took advantage of the situation. The power dynamics were chaotic last night, but there is no need to sort out who is the enemy and who is the friend. Just look at who is the ultimate vested interest and you can guess most of the truth of the incident.

"But if this is what Mr. C told her, then is there any connection between the assassin and Mr. C?"

If so, the assassin was C's man, and last night's riot was a staged large-scale drama.

If it doesn't matter, C at least understands it all. Dick doesn't understand: "What can Mr. C get?"

Batman learns the mysterious enemy's weakness and knows that although the assassin has the ability to heal himself, he can defeat him by freezing him.

The mayor has cleared out the forces in the East District, and it seems that she is about to carry out drastic reforms. Her reputation has also improved a lot, and a good political achievement has appeared on her resume.

Even the remnant of the Penguin People got a chance to develop steadily, and the newly established "construction company" did not collapse that night.

——If the latter is Mr. C’s man, then he went through so much trouble only to get an empty shell construction company?

"They have fun playing the game," Bruce said. "For people like them, fun is everything."

It is difficult to profile Mr. C. The profile even makes his gender unclear. He only has a pair of eyes full of joy hidden in the darkness.

The two adopted sons were silent for a moment. They had seen too many enemies like this before. The world was just a game. They could be bad guys or good guys. Everything was just to please themselves.

"The new mayor and Mr. C are in a partnership?" Dick said suddenly. "I suddenly felt that the mayor might know that Mr. C was using her, but she used him back."

Bruce nodded at him, and he recalled Anna Ellech, whom he had met before: "She was a woman who only cared about the goal, not the process."

In order to achieve her goals, she can cooperate with dangerous people. She never cares what means she uses, as long as she can succeed.

She knew that the penguin man was clearly under the control of magic to admit his crime, but she just wanted him to admit his guilt.

At the end of the trial, Wayne had a brief chat with Mayor Alec. He tried to find out what the other party thought of the Penguin Man's trial and implicitly expressed his doubts -

"It's indeed very suspicious," the woman said with an expression that seemed like she couldn't help laughing, "but whether he really thinks he's wrong or not, what does it have to do with me? I'm not his mother, and I have no obligation to educate him."

"As long as the bad guy is brought to justice, what does it matter whether he sincerely pleads guilty?"

But she can do that, and other people can think that, but Batman can't.

Someone once said that Batman never trusts anyone, so he naturally cannot trust Mr. C. While others can easily give their trust, Batman determines that he must be the last line of defense. He must know how to save the situation when Mr. C loses control because of the game.

And...he was sure that his ideas were different from the mayor's.

Relying on the power of others to achieve a goal may backfire one day. The current situation is that everything is fine, but once the magic fails, or C has a new interest - who can prove that he will not become another clown? He does not believe in magic.

Just like if you kill Xiao Chou, a new Xiao Chou will still appear, because it is Gotham itself that gave birth to Xiao Chou - this sinful city has watered the dangerous flowers of evil.

Another piece of news began to play on TV, describing the mayor's plan in the East District, the renovation of the basement, the increase in the number of employees, the adoption and raising of orphans... It seemed that Anna really wanted to make a big move in the East District, and she seized the opportunity.

"No matter who the mayor works with," his eldest son stared at the screen and whispered, "at least she is really changing Gotham now, if she can succeed."

Bruce glanced at him. "I'll watch her."

He will watch it all, and before the situation deteriorates to the point of collapse, he will give his all for this city, just as he always has.

"Ahem," said Alfred, the old butler, standing beside the table, "Gentlemen, have you forgotten what time it is?"

He said calmly, "I hope you will think more about your stomach and not always bring work to the table."

As soon as he spoke, the three of them froze. In a moment, Dick left the room, saying "I have a case to investigate." Tim put away his computer and smeared peanut butter on his coffee cup, while Bruce began to concentrate on the Benedict eggs on his plate.

Today, the Wayne House is also peaceful and tranquil.

Today, the city hall is in a busy atmosphere.

Sherk had already organized a team to solve the underground problems in the East District. Before the East District was handed over to the mayor, they had held many meetings on issues such as how to demolish houses, how to arrange personnel, when to start construction, and project quotation.

But when they really got into it, these young and energetic team members found that the real problem they were facing was——

How to recover stolen building materials?

I have already paid protection money to Gang A, so should I pay when Gang B comes? What? Gang A was wiped out?

What should we do if people in the East District ask for a high price for the housing subsidy? Is this a scam?

...There are so many reasons, too numerous to count, that in just half a month, most people's hairline moves back at least one centimeter.

Yet the plan has made little progress.

Until this day, all the troublemakers in the entire East District were arrested or fled, and the team members were proud of themselves!

With a reliable construction company (although it was said to have just been established, the mayor believed that they could cooperate and they firmly believed in the mayor), there was no need to spend any extra money (no protection fee, but I don’t know why this part of the funds was used to buy cat food), and the land originally belonged to the city hall (this part of the reserved funds was used to build temporary resettlement housing), and construction finally officially began.

On the other side, the mayor, who was on duty again, was wearing Bella's vest and was stopped by several girls.

She didn't ride a motorcycle this time, but just strolled around the East District. Although this place is poor and backward, it is also a city with a population of more than 600,000 people, and there are many places she has not been to.

The people who stopped her included both old and young, but they were all dressed very "coolly".

Their eyes were timid, their movements were timid, and the girl in the front half-folded her arms and said, "Are you a police officer, miss?"

A prison guard is also a police officer, and she was one a day ago, so Weiwei nodded.

The girl seemed relieved, and the few of them looked at each other silently for a few times, but did not immediately tell them why they were there.

Weiwei was curious: "By the way...how did you know I'm a police officer?"

It was the girl at the front who seemed the most courageous: "Miss Police, don't you know? Your video has gone viral on Twitter."
