Chapter 36 Soon, the whole family knew "Don't talk nonsense. ...
"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Shu wanted to close the door, but looking at Sherlock's expression, it seemed that he had something else to say.
"I wanted to look for the reason why he made me think this way in the case he wanted me to investigate, but I didn't have the chance." He leaned against the door frame. He couldn't close the door until he finished asking.
"it's a pity."
"Can I ask Bruce directly about this?"
"It's better not to, no... I don't know." Liu Shu suddenly realized the conflict between the two people.
But why didn't the Red Hood make plans for Batman? Didn't he create the Red Hood Gang to cause trouble for Batman?
"You are very confused about their relationship..."
"It's best not to get involved. If you get beaten up, no one will come to your rescue."
"But there must be a deeper mystery behind this. You seem to understand it particularly well, as if you've seen the reference answers."
Liu Shu looked up. Could this person offer a solution to their current situation? He couldn't even figure out his own family's affairs.
"Come in."
They sat on the sofa, their eyes fixed on each other. Now it was commission time.
"Bruce had an adopted son who died a long time ago."
Although it sounded a bit strange, like saying someone who had passed away would come back, "He's back now."
"Is there any way for them to know each other's feelings and intentions?"
"Emotional show?"
"Seriously?" Detective, can you be of some use? Liu Shu's eyes were full of suspicion.
This obviously aroused Sherlock's fighting spirit. He lowered his head and said, "I need details. Why didn't he go home?"
"It's... because of Tim, can you understand?"
"Ah, he feels he's been replaced."
"It's partly due to this, but there's more to it," he said, feeling quite sad. "The person who tortured and killed him is still alive."
"With Bruce's ability, revenge is a simple matter. Why didn't he do it?"
Liu Shu shook her head. She picked up Di Ting from the ground and placed her on her lap, thinking about her words.
"He doesn't want to kill anyone."
"Stick to your heart? Then he will be very painful." Sherlock can understand a detective's behavior. If it is left to him to decide, he may not do better than Bruce.
"Red Hood's course of action has gone astray. Before he realizes what's happening, give them a chance to reconcile." This was Liu Shu's commission.
"Me? I'm going to do this?"
"You already know about this now, so who else could it be if not you?" He broke in on his own, and Liu Shu looked at him seriously.
Sherlock found that he had found a commission that did not meet the requirements, and he began to regret it.
"Can I pretend I didn't hear that?"
Liu Shu didn't say anything, just smiled at him.
"You have to help me."
"Of course, what do you need?"
"I heard there's something called the Lasso of Truth."
“I can’t.”
Sherlock couldn't help but ruffle his hair. He was not good at this kind of thing.
"Why doesn't he just go to Bruce?"
"Why don't you just go find your brother?"
"You've checked me out?" Sherlock leaned back. "Well, could I ask Tim?"
Why ask others? Liu Shu actually doesn't want this matter to be known by many people.
"You also said that we have to hurry before Red Hood can react. He's not a simple man. It's impossible for him to be unable to react all the time. Is he that responsible?"
"Come on, it's up to you." After telling Sherlock about this, Liu Shu felt a little relieved. Finally, there was someone who could share the burden of the secret with her.
After watching him leave, Liu Shu no longer thought about the follow-up of this matter. How bad could it be?
One quiet night, Robin appeared on a rooftop in Bludhaven.
"Why are you here?"
"Don't ask that yet, I have good news!"
"?" Nightwing's confusion didn't last long. He listened to Robin's words and reacted violently, "What did you say? I'm going to Gotham to find him now!"
"Wait, it's not that simple," Robin grabbed Nightwing's wrist, "He's been back for a long time."
"So what? I..."
"He just beat me up." Robin felt really pitiful.
Nightwing patted his head comfortingly, "Well, I think he might have some misunderstandings about you."
"Anyway, you can't just go to him like this," Robin took out the shielding device he had been using since just now, "B doesn't know about this yet, so don't tell him."
"I see."
"First, delete all the audio and video files in your equipment. We need to be careful."
"No, do we really have to be so sneaky? He is..."
"The Red Hood has been openly targeting Batman, so we need to think long and hard about this."
"I'll go back tonight, no, tomorrow morning." Nightwing obediently deleted the things.
"He told me that there were guests at home." Robin took two steps to the edge of the building and sat down.
"Oh? That Sherlock Holmes?" Nightwing also knew the news. "He's pretty awesome."
He looked at the city below, feeling a sense of unreality. The lights were a little dazzling. Nightwing still remembered how he felt after that incident. "Are you sure? I...I miss him so much."
"It's very likely that this would explain his previous actions, but..."
"But what?"
Robin was confused, very confused. He looked at Nightwing and locked eyes with him. "Why is he constantly expanding his territory? If it was just to fight Batman, his current power would be more than enough, even a bit excessive. Even the Penguin is only one step away from a final blow."
"This is so strange. I remember that most of his actions in the past were based on clever tactics, but then he suddenly started to attack and play it safe. If this continues, Gotham's underworld will become his sole authority."
"This, maybe it was his childhood wish? How cute."
"Huh?" Robin didn't know what he heard.
"I just remembered what he was like as a kid."
"you……"
"I'll bring you a gift when I get back." Nightwing happily gave his brother a hug. "Are you leaving now? Do you want to join me on night patrol?"
"See you tomorrow." Robin waved his hand. He didn't want to take on an extra job out of thin air, so he left quickly.
He ran very fast, and when he arrived at the Bat Cave, he just happened to meet Liu Shu walking out.
"Good evening."
"Why didn't you go back with him?" Liu Shu thought that the night patrol was either one person in the bat cave and one person outside, or both of them were outside together.
"I have something to do today. By the way, do you want to go out and play? Won't it be boring to stay at home all the time?"
"Didn't I go out yesterday?" Why is this person acting so strangely? Never mind, let's go first. Liu Shu pointed to the exit and said, "Is there any place that's not so obvious? I'm afraid Sherlock and the others will find me."
She wanted to find a place where no one was around to hang up.
"That one, there's a handle. Pull it open and walk up to the study."
Study? Hearing this word, Liu Shu walked towards the place he mentioned with a little curiosity.
This time it seemed to be a route that many people walked on. Although it was a spiral staircase, it was very large and it made me feel a little dizzy when walking on it.
Liu Shu stood at the highest point and looked down, and had this feeling. It seemed that he had not rested enough.
The secret door made little noise, and the sliding bookshelf blocked the passage behind it.
It was not the mechanism she had imagined. Liu Shu touched the books on the bookshelf. The hard spines of the books felt very textured. Their value might not be significant in this room, but they would be very expensive if they were taken out.
She walked around the bookshelf several times and finally found a corner where she could fit the doll completely. The small space gave her a sense of security, and she closed her eyes.
After putting the puppet away, Liu Shu began to concentrate on typing on the computer.
It's really strange, how could someone deliberately upload wrong data? She was just trying to be lazy, but now all the results are wrong.
But soon after she pointed out those issues, the data publisher responded to her message.
Is he going to quarrel with her? Liu Shu stretched and was ready.
After sending many messages and agreeing to meet offline with the person on the other end of the internet, she could go to bed.
In the morning, Dick looked at Ah Fu hesitantly.
"Afu, I..."
His expression was just as cautious as when Bruce had just adopted him. Alfu didn't know what could have made him so cautious. "What's wrong? It's okay. You can tell me anything."
“…”
In the shadows, Liu Shu calmly listened to Dick confide his thoughts to Afu.
It turns out that Tim went to Blüdhaven yesterday and brought it back to his brother.
Now, no one in this family except Bruce and Watson doesn't know the identity of the Red Hood. Watson has nothing to do with this matter so he doesn't participate in the discussion, but Bruce, you are being isolated, do you know that?
"Can you please not tell him yet?"
"Don't worry." Alfu started to work on the small equipment in the room. He wanted to clean it up to avoid being discovered by Bruce.
"Wow!" Dick, who had felt relieved, was startled by Liu Shu.
Ah Fu came over and said, "This is Miss Wu, she lives in the manor now."
"This is Master Dick, you may have heard of him."
"Hello, why are you hiding here? Come out first." Dick extended his hand to her.
He dug him out from the corner and gave Afu a look for help, but unfortunately Afu couldn't understand.
"What's up?"
"Um, you just heard..."
"I'll keep it a secret."
"Thank you!" Dick put her on the ground and ruffled her hair affectionately.
"..." The puppet, which only retained the most basic mobility, ignored him.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's not fully charged." Liu Shu knew that her puppet now had about a quarter of its energy, but she wanted to link its behavior to this so that she wouldn't have to wander around the manor all the time.
"What?" Dick tilted his head and looked at her. He didn't understand anything.
Ah Fu helped her open the secret door and asked, "Do you want to go down?"
"Okay, thank you." Last night I wanted to be alone so I was upstairs, and during the day I want to be alone I have to go downstairs. Liu Shu has completely understood the family's movements.
Dick was completely confused and looked at the butler.
"Maybe you can find a place to rest first and then listen to me." Ah Fu looked at the dark circles under his eyes. He must not have slept well.
"Let's talk while we walk. I'm not tired at all now."
Liu Shu no longer listened carefully to the sounds that were gradually fading away. She glanced at the road below her feet and decided to jump directly from the hole in the middle.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life and once again put the puppet on the charging platform.
She was concentrating on braiding Di Ting's hair at home. Sometimes, emptying her mind and doing strange things can help her restore her energy.
“Woo——”
"I know the phone's ringing. Wait, I'll just add another bow."
"Let's go and have fun." She felt very relaxed after dressing up Di Ting. This is what she should do on a not-so-rare vacation.
Liu Shu placed the cell phone on the table. She picked it up carefully to avoid dropping the bow, rubber band and some decorations. She had just searched for a long time before finding a color that suited Di Ting.
"What's up?" It was Tim calling.
"Want to go out for a walk? Near your house?"
"ah?"
