Chapter 114

The moment "joker" appeared.

There was a moment of silence in the noisy Gotham!

It is estimated that no one in Gotham does not know the existence of "joker".

That was the madman who brought fear to Gotham twenty years ago as the king of darkness.

And a very popular madman.

“Joker！”

"How could it be him!"

"The madman?"

"Didn't he die with Batman twenty years ago?"

"Wait!"

The voices from the whole city of Gotham gathered together and almost overturned the clouds in the sky.

Little James Gordon just finished searching the bell tower and stood under the bell tower. When he was wondering where the riddle gentleman had gone, he just witnessed the scene of "the return of the clown".

In an instant, his face changed greatly.

impossible!

The clown... Is dead!

That year, old Gordon witnessed the clown's body!

impossible!

impossible!

impossible!

He shouted madly in his heart.

But the empty shadow of the clown in the sky and his crazy posture are clearly the same as the original clown!

Although little James Gordon was young 20 years ago, his father, old Gordon, still keeps precious video materials.

Batman once violently "interrogated" the clown in the Gotham police station.

In different parts of Gotham.

Burnley district.

Everyone's attention is attracted by the images in the sky.

Zhu Yuner hid in the dark.

Look up at the sky.

Although others don't recognize it, Zhu Yuner once heard pan Zhengyi's laughter in Akam nursing home and recognized pan Zhengyi at a glance.

"What the hell is that guy doing?"

Su Xiaosu silently kicked a wall and looked at the influence in the sky.

At this time, Zhu Yuner turned her head and smiled at Su Xiaosu: "thank you, sister Su Su. If you hadn't saved me, I might have died."

When she remembered the scene when the streets were suddenly ablaze during the day, she could not help feeling a bit of palpitation.

Fortunately——

"Hum, but I finally understand..."

Zhu Yuner suddenly smiled coldly, and she looked at herself.

Originally, she was badly injured and covered with bullet holes.

But now, all her injuries have healed, and even the bullet holes in her skin have recovered as before. Her skin is white, smooth and tender, and there is no scar left.

Naturally, health is restored to full.

Su Xiaosu's combat effectiveness is really terrible.

She was able to take one of her wounded out of the hail of bullets.

This muscle... Sure enough.

Zhu Yuner silently opened the "crime list" and took a look.

Look at this.

Let her pupils shrink slightly.

……

[list of crimes]

[Gotham guilt] 548451000000 (5.48%)

[Yilin] 51723 (5.17%)

[Zhu Yuner] 1120 (0.11%)

[Li Er Pang] 912 (0.09%)

[Su Xiaosu] 840 (0.08%)

[pan Zhengyi] 250 (0.02%)

……

At first, Zhu Yuner thought that she had just recovered from her serious injury, lost too much blood and was dazzled.

Could it be that the majority has a zero.

But take a closer look.

So... No!

It's really more than 50000 sin value!

Did that guy... Break the law?

How can you accumulate so many sin values in a short time!

If you deduct it with human lives, it is equivalent to more than 5000 human lives.

Even if you let Zhu Yuner cut wheat piece by piece, you have to kill most of the day.

What's more... Gotham citizens are not as easy to kill as they thought.

Zhu Yuner has personally experienced this.

Deep feeling.

"Wait, don't you say..."

Zhu Yuner frowned.

Thought for a few minutes.

Suddenly, the frown stretched out.

"Crime... Is not necessarily murder! He's one step ahead! Hum, can you commit a crime? Sister Su, let's go! We can't lose to that guy! Don't forget, he helped pan Zhengyi and robbed our youth potion in the nursing home!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuner hated a little thing until now.

But it was pan Zhengyi's pot. Zhu Yuner covered the pot on Yilin's head.

Zhu Yuner's eyes twinkled with cold light without anger.

At that moment, she was walking on the road with a bit of majesty like an emperor on a tour.

In the Dragon Kingdom... No one can offend the Zhu family!

Not to mention just a nobody!

……

……

"Call -"

The fat man held a big bag of fragrant fried chicken legs in one hand and ran in the path of the night.

He turned his head and looked at Pan Zhengyi in the sky. Although he was shocked, he soon calmed down.

"It's Cosplay... Who won't? But that guy is very realistic... Fat man, I almost thought it was a clown reality show... Shouldn't this guy be a senior two thorn ape?"

The fat man ate up a large bag of fried chicken legs.

Li Er Pang patted his bulging belly, ate and drank enough, fat and fat, and finally had a sense of security.

The whole city of Gotham fell into a brief confusion because of the return of the "clown".

Li Er Pang finally escaped from the pursuit of "good citizens" for the time being. Taking advantage of the night, he smashed the window of one of the houses, hid inside and had a rest.

Today, 70% of Gotham's citizens are outside.

Wandering with guns.

As the old saying goes: the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Now the fat man is out of the sight of the citizens and hid in the house. Instead, he has won a chance to breathe.

Li Er Pang took a rest.

He opened the "crime list" and took a look.

He narrowed his eyes in an instant.

Although it could not be seen from the surface, his eyes did widen a little.

a bit of.

Squinting is a family inheritance, and he is also very helpless.

He suddenly remembered the tips he received after robbing the master brand fast food restaurant.

"In other words, in addition to robbery, is there any other way to accumulate sin value more quickly?"

Thinking of this, Li Er Pang gnashed his teeth and sent a string of messages to Yilin.

But was automatically replied: the Apostle is busy, please don't disturb!

"Lying trough!"

Li Er Pang has no culture. He can only shout a lie in the trough to show his mood.

Erin, this guy is not very kind!

The agreed team!

It's agreed to take off!

It's OK to leave fat Ye secretly in the park. Fat Ye doesn't care about his rough skin. Why don't you shout when you have a way to brush points?

At least send a message!

Agreed to go to Baitou together, but you quietly baked oil!

however.

Li Er Pang just complains in his mouth and heart.

After several trials in the world, he was not so naive at this level.

Yilin can give him a "youth potion" in the nursing home, which has made Li Er Pang feel that there are still good people among the apostles.

After all, in the mission, the apostolic relationship is complex.

Even for team tasks, there is a relationship of secret competition.

No one admits defeat.

If you can't go to the pit of death, you should burn high incense.

Who also wants to get higher customs clearance evaluation.

"Hum... In that case..."

Li erfan made up his mind silently.

……

meanwhile.

Gotham sky.

The clown is still laughing wildly.

Laugh wildly.

"Jie Jie Jie --"

Laughter has no meaning.

No lines.

But it was this crazy laughter that seemed to cast a shadow over Gotham.

No one knows.

meanwhile.

The top floor of Wayne building.

Wayne building is the most famous landmark in Gotham.

It is also the tallest building.

In fact, with today's technological level, Gotham is not unable to build higher and more spectacular buildings than the Wayne building.

But dare not.

Because, as we all know, Bruce Wayne is the richest in Gotham.

No one dares to try the supreme power of money ability.

On the top floor of Wayne building, this room is made of transparent glass on three sides.

There is a spacious round bed in the room.

An old man with white hair and upright back suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from bed.

Beside the old man, there was a hot young woman who wrapped around the old man like an octopus.

The moment the old man sat up, in the dark, the woman's expression became more flushed, got under the quilt and wriggled silently.

The old man looked out of the window.

I don't know if it's a coincidence.

The huge "clown" turned his head suddenly.

As if through the transparent glass on the top floor of Wayne building, after the ferocious clown was painted, a pair of chaotic eyes looked at the old man with white hair on the bed.

"Mmm, mmm -"

A strange sound came from under the quilt.

The girl called out the old man's name vaguely.

"Bruce... Bruce..."

Bruce Wayne.

His name.

Bruce Wayne's mouth tilted slightly.

I don't know what it means.

“Duang！”

Suddenly!

There was a sudden q-bomb from the radio all over Gotham.

It looks like something was smashed.

Zizizi——

The empty shadow of the "clown" in the sky suddenly became distorted and blurred.

"Come on! That's the pervert!"

"How dare you rob GBC broadcasting company?"

"Hasty, kill him!"

"Looking for shit -"

Protrusion——

There was a barrage of gunfire.

The figure of the "clown" is scurrying in the sky.

Outside the broadcast.

The whole city of Gotham fell into a strange silence again.

Bruce Wayne: "

Gotham: "

Li Er Pang: "

Gordon and his son: "

Dr. Jack: "

Zhu Yuner and Su Xiaosu: "

Yilin: "hehe, it's really that guy's style."

……

……

Gotham.

Late at night.

Tonight is like a celebration.

Everyone is doomed to stay up all night.

"The clown doesn't care."

Little James Gordon smiled coldly.

He still keeps the riddle gentleman's notice.

If the first two sentences are lies, then the last few sentences may be the information indicating the time and place of the real crime.

[I will divide the world into two and walk towards the first ray of dawn in Gotham against the clock of midnight. When a half human and half animal God comes, I will break the head with sheep horn, use it to carry Gotham's second fireworks and light the flood from cold winter to summer.]

Sign——

[the fiery "riddle gentleman", Edward Lin, dear]

"What exactly does that mean?"

Little James Gordon felt a pain in his forehead.

Not just behind the head.

Should be thinking too much, touched the wound behind the brain.

Little James Gordon always thought that the tone of the riddle gentleman was a little strange.

But for a while and a half, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It's always strange.

He found that the young riddle gentleman was different from the Riddler twenty years ago.

If the Riddler twenty years ago is wise but crazy.

Then the riddle gentleman gave him the feeling that he was really extremely calm and rational, as if all things were in his chest.

In contrast, riddle gentlemen are more difficult to deal with than riddlers.

In the best-selling book "the legend of the Riddler", several events of Batman defeating the Riddler are recorded.

In addition to Batman's wisdom, the Riddler failed several times, entirely because he was inspired by Batman.

Under the anger, the flaw was revealed.

The Riddler's weakness is obvious... His wisdom cannot be despised.

Although the Riddler twenty years ago was also terrible, he was also an opponent of routine.

"Batman legend" also summarizes a lot of experience in dealing with riddlers.

But little James Gordon found that the experience of dealing with riddlers could not be used in the "riddle gentleman".

Little James Gordon took a silent look at his watch.

Time is

【23:35】。

wait!

Midnight is coming!

Sheriff Gordon, who was frantically searching for riddles in Gotham, unknowingly spent so much time.

The dead fat man and two other strange female criminals have long been forgotten by Sheriff Gordon.

Fake clown?

It is completely ignored.

He's full of that damn puzzle right now.

And the elegant but terrible riddle gentleman.

"Time is running out."

Little James Gordon suddenly clenched his teeth and dialed a number with his mobile phone.

Soon, the phone was connected.

The other end of the phone was silent.

But little James Gordon shouted——

"Dad!"

……

……

【23:40】

The top floor of Wayne building.

It's still that room.

The bathroom light is on.

The translucent glass shows a beautiful back, and the flesh is hidden.

Bruce Wayne shook the wine glass gracefully and tasted the expensive wine with a satisfied face.

The night is too beautiful. No matter how dangerous it is, someone always stays up at night with dark eyes.

But it's not very expensive.

Lafite in 1869.

HMM... actually, the taste is just average.

It's just that Bruce can't find a better wine.

I have no choice but to make do with it.

Bruce Wayne decided to drink half and rinse the rest.

You can't waste it.

At this time, on the round bed bedside table, the mobile phone vibrated silently.

Bruce Wayne has never used a cell phone ring tone in his life. It's all vibration.

There's no special reason. I'm used to it.

The pattern of a bat flashed across the mobile phone screen.

Bruce frowned slightly.

He looked back at the direction of the bathroom.

The girl inside is still humming. Uh huh, it's very pleasant.

Bruce walked silently to the landing bed, overlooking Gotham, which was in chaos again, and connected the phone.

"Old man."

Bruce couldn't help smiling when he connected the phone.

In Gotham, this number will be used to contact him, only that person.

"Trouble? You know, I've been retired for a long time. Now Gotham doesn't need masked Knights flying in the dark."

Bruce smiled at himself and made a joke.

"Wait, riddle? Is it the Riddler? Wait... What are you talking about? Riddle gentleman? Very young?"

Bruce Wayne's cloudy eyes lit up slightly.

"Interesting..."

……

……

"Damn it!"

Little James Gordon hung up with a gloomy face.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"It's the aparo highway! The damn riddle gentleman is going to blow up the aparo highway at 00:22!"

All the police officers in Gotham looked confused when they heard the speech.

Although their IQ is not high, they also participate in understanding mysteries in the spirit of "people collect firewood and fire".

"There's no time to explain! Go! Get in the car!"

Without saying a word, little James Gordon got into the police car and planned to speed himself.

"But Sir, it takes at least an hour to get to the aparo highway. We only have 40 minutes left from 00:22! If we add the traffic jam -"

"No traffic from here to the aparo highway! Now! Let everyone move!"

"But Sir, speeding is a crime..."

"We are using the fastest speed to destroy criminals! This is not called speeding!"

Little James Gordon stepped on the accelerator to the end, the tachometer instantly reached 5000 revolutions, two columns of black smoke were emitted from the exhaust pipe of the police car, and the police car rushed out.

Other police officers reacted and drove to keep up.

Little James Gordon went straight to 160 kilometers per hour.

This is not speeding.

During the crazy racing, his father's words still echoed in his mind.

He was just trying to turn to the last Gotham Sheriff... James Gordon.

That's old Gordon.

He is also the current mayor of Gotham.

Unexpectedly, in a few minutes, his father really solved the puzzle.

My father is really my father!

When he knew the answer, little James Gordon suddenly realized that the answer to the original puzzle was so simple.

……

The first two sentences, "dividing the world in two" and "facing the midnight bell", actually refer to the moment.

Divide the 24 hours of the day into two parts, counting from midnight, which is zero.

[the first ray of dawn towards Gotham] is also a supplementary hint to the above two sentences.

The latter [the arrival of a half man and half beast God] actually refers to the "Capricorn" in the twelve constellations.

Because in the legend, "Capricorn" is a God with goat horns.

Capricorn corresponds to December 22 to January 19.

The corresponding time is... After midnight, 00:22 to 01:19!

The meaning of "I will break the head of the God with sheep horns" is very clear.

The time of crime indicated by the riddle gentleman is - 00:22!

[the second fireworks] it means that the riddle gentleman is about to commit a crime... Explosion.

The same as the Gotham police station.

The last sentence is something that makes little James Gordon feel strange.

To describe "cold winter", the riddle gentleman used the word "heavy", and the final signature used the word "hot".

"Heavy" is mostly used to describe snow, but it is used by riddle gentlemen to describe winter. No wonder little James Gordon thinks this grammar is a little strange.

I don't think "riddle gentleman" English is very good.

Originally——

Riddle gentleman is not poor in English, but there is another world!

Another meaning of "heavy" implies traffic congestion.

The word "hot" not only means "hot", but also often used to describe the "hot" figure of a sister.

As for [Summer] and [hot], people think of a place at the first time!

That's... Port Miller beach!

Combined with the whole sentence, it really refers to only one place, the most congested traffic flow through the beach of port Miller!

That is——

Aparo highway!

Why do you think so?

Because it is clearly written in Gotham tourism strategy——

"Yo! Summer is coming! Welcome to Gotham, a city with simple folk customs! There are blue sky, white clouds and hot bikini girls on the beach of Miller port. It's better to move than to move. It's better to move than to move. What are you waiting for! Yo, Chek!"

That damn riddle gentleman is absolutely familiar with Gotham's tourism industry, asshole!

It's not summer!

Did that damn guy come to Gotham in the summer?

By the way, enjoy the hot bikini spice girls?

"But..."

Little James Gordon's mouth sparked a confident sneer.

Riddle gentlemen underestimate their driving skills.

40 minutes, enough for him to get to port Miller!

He has seen through the truth!

There is only one truth to the puzzle——

Riddle gentleman will detonate the aparo highway in port Miller at 00:22.

That's a viaduct!

Go, go, go!

Little James Gordon galloped wildly.

Behind his police car, followed by a large number of equally crazy motorcade.

go forward with great strength and vigour!
