Devil fruit in comics

Chapter 247

There are too many criminals in Gotham, too many to be controlled by Batman and Gordon.

So under normal circumstances, as long as these criminals don't plan some too bad crimes, Batman doesn't bother to take care of them.

Things like petty theft are impossible to manage.

Even if there are ten Batmen, it is still unmanageable.

It was precisely because of this that Selina wondered why Nightwing Dick would suddenly go to trouble the Penguin.

Of course, Penguin is not a good person, but for now, he is still keeping his own place.

"I got a piece of news a few days ago. My informant said that Penguin is the one who planned the gang robbery."

Dick glanced at Selina and silently explained.

Although he doesn't like Roger very much, he still trusts Selina.

After all, they have cooperated several times before, and they are fairly familiar with each other.

"Penguin planned the robbery of the gangster bank?"

After hearing Dick's explanation, Roger and Selina frowned at the same time.

Is it really such a coincidence?
They just found Hughes today, and Dick has already found out that Penguin is related to the robbery of the gangster bank.

Although it is very likely that this is a coincidence, it still makes them have some doubts.

For ordinary people, even if it is a coincidence, it is nothing.

After all, things like coincidences are unpredictable.

But for Roger, Selina and others, any coincidence will make them vigilant.

If he didn't even have this kind of vigilance, he might capsize in the gutter at some point.

"Can you tell me more about what's going on here?"

"We just happened to be investigating that bank robber recently."

Selina said to Dick.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you. This information about the Penguin was told to me by an informant who has worked with me for a long time."

"Although he didn't know the specific details, he told me that on the second day after the gangster's bank was robbed, there was an extra sum of cash of unknown origin in the Penguin's warehouse."

"In the beginning, he didn't suspect anything."

"However, he later saw the Penguin meeting with a stranger, and gave the stranger a document, and had a few words with the stranger."

"He told me the news, so I decided to come over and see what was going on."

Dick quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Judging from what Dick told, Penguin was indeed very suspicious.

The gangster's bank had just been robbed, and there was an extra cash of unknown origin in his warehouse, which was indeed a very suspicious thing.

More importantly, the stranger who met Penguin.

Although Penguin's appearance looks a bit funny, his status in Gotham is not low at all.

There are not many people in Gotham who dare to quarrel with him on the spot, let alone strangers.

All indications indicated that the person who quarreled with the Penguin was probably Hughes, who had just arrived in Gotham not long ago.

If that person is really Hughes, then it all makes sense.

"Your informant has seen the stranger. If there is a picture, can he recognize the stranger?"

Selina continued to ask.

"No!" Dick said helplessly.

"Can't? Why?"

"Because he disappeared. If he hadn't disappeared suddenly, I wouldn't have come here on purpose tonight."

Although Dick said that the informant was missing, judging from his expression, the informant was probably dead.

The reason why it is said to be missing is that the body of the informant has not been found yet.

For betrayal informants, disappearance is often tantamount to death.

"Okay! Then what are you going to do next, continue to investigate the Penguin?"

Seeing Dick's face looking a little uncomfortable, Selina continued to ask.

"Of course!"

Dick said directly without any hesitation.

Whether it is to confirm whether the Penguin is related to the robbery of the gangster bank, or to confirm the whereabouts of the informant, Dick will not give up the investigation.

But not tonight.

He had already exposed his whereabouts just now, and if he wanted to continue investigating Penguin, he had to find another opportunity.

"If you need help, you can contact me. Roger and I are also investigating the robber in the gangster bank. Maybe we can find out some news about Penguin."

Although the investigation is not the same thing, but judging from the current situation, they are likely to investigate the same person, that is, the penguin.

"it is good!"

After speaking, Dick stuck the short stick in his back behind his back.

Then, he took out the claw gun that he carried with him, and he disappeared into the night just like Batman.

When Dick's figure completely disappeared in front of him, Roger took out the bat phone and told Bruce the current situation.

After notifying Bruce, he threw the bat phone into the different space in his body, and said to Selina, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"No!" Serena replied directly.

Before Roger continued to ask, she said again: "I don't plan to go home so soon tonight. If you have nothing else to do, would you like to take a walk with me?"

It was a walk, but Roger knew that the walk Selina was talking about was definitely not a walk in the normal sense.

Of course, this is not a sport that requires wasting energy, but it will make both parties feel happy.

"If you're talking about your usual entertainment, I don't mind letting you go and see it together."

Although Selina is not Batman, fighting crime is also her daily job.

As long as time permits, she will perform her duties as a vigilante.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go."

After speaking, Selina walked to the edge of the roof first, and jumped down like diving.

Although the building they are in is not high, if they just jump down like this, the impact is still deadly enough.

But Selina has no plans to get in close contact with the ground.

While jumping down from the top of the building, she took out a leather whip from the belt that didn't seem to hold much.

With a bang, the whip was swung out, wrapped around a protruding steel beam of the building next door, and swung to the building next door like a swing.

Whether it's Batman, Nightwing or Catwoman, they all use similar fast-moving methods.

Although this method can allow them to advance quickly in high-rise buildings, in Roger's view, it is still a bit too slow.

However, he is not in a hurry now. After seeing Selina swinging to the top of the opposite building, without any hesitation, he used the moon step and easily came to Selina.

After seeing Roger walking over like a volley walk, Selina's eyes flashed some curiosity.

But she didn't ask Roger how he did it.

Roger had already demonstrated several superpowers in front of her.

Compared with superpowers such as teleportation and magma, this kind of superpower like walking in the air is much more normal.

Although things like moon steps can make Newton's coffin board fly directly, this world is not a normal world.

Aliens can wear tights and fly around the metropolis, and it's nothing to have an extra earthling who doesn't obey the laws of physics.

Because it was Selina's daily entertainment, Roger didn't do much tonight.

Only when Selina might sneak attack, he would occasionally make a shot to teach those little bastards who don't have a lot of eyes.

Although he announced that Catwoman was his girlfriend, but even one night hadn't passed yet, and the gangsters in Gotham obviously hadn't heard the news.

Although he didn't shoot much, Roger discovered a very interesting thing.

Unlike Bruce, Selina mainly helps women who are threatened.

As for men, she would help out when she met them, but most of the time, she didn't help men who were threatened by gangsters and gangsters.

And unlike Bruce, Selina was particularly ruthless when it came to those punks who bullied women.

After being taught by her, these little bastards basically couldn't get up very well.

Of course, these punks didn't die, they just had their hands and feet broken, or they were directly injured and passed out.

After being a vigilante with Selina for a few hours, Roger took her back to her warm home.

When returning, Roger came back directly by using the ability of the door fruit.

After returning, Selina did not wash up and rest immediately, but took out her computer and searched for some foundation news on the Internet.

After browsing through the news of these foundations in detail, she selected a few foundations related to girls, and gave away the money from selling the car tonight and the $200 million she got from meeting Roger. They all donated.

No wonder she has never had much savings. According to her current consumption rate, even a billionaire will become impoverished in a short time.

Although Selina's approach to helping girls is only a temporary solution, Roger didn't say anything.

Regardless of whether the effect is good or not, her kindness is worth encouraging.

Compared with those charity shows that nominally help the weak, but are actually for laundering and making money, Selina's approach is already very good.

At least she is doing these things sincerely, helping those in need as much as she can.

When Selina browsed the news of the foundation, Roger was not idle, took out his phone and ordered takeaway.

Just because he can cook, doesn't mean he likes to cook every meal.

It is a kind of enjoyment to do it once in a while.

It's no fun to eat three meals a day by yourself.

The food delivery industry in the United States is obviously not as developed as the flower growers, but as long as you are willing to spend money, even in the middle of the night, there will still be food delivery guys to provide services.

Half an hour later, the delivery boy came to the door with a lot of food.

After tipping the delivery guy dozens of dollars, Roger and Selina tasted the late supper.

As the saying goes, full and warm thinking about that.

After eating supper, Roger and Selina have a tacit understanding and started exercising after meals and before going to bed, which will make each other happy.

the next day.

Before Roger and Selina got up, he was woken up by the vibrating mobile phone.

After picking up the phone, he saw the strange number on it.

Although he had never seen this number before, as soon as he saw this number, he knew it was Bruce who was calling.

After pressing the connect button, he heard Bruce's gloomy voice.

"I found Hughes."

"If you're with Selina, then come and have a look together, I'll wait for you in the Batcave."

After finishing speaking, Bruce hung up the phone without waiting for Roger's answer.

Batcave?
After hearing that Bruce asked him and Selina to go to the Batcave, Roger's first reaction was whether he heard it wrong.

Although he is now cooperating with Bruce, their relationship is far from good enough to be friends.

However, Bruce now sends him and Selina to the Batcave.

"Bruce found Hughes, and he asked us to go to the Batcave together."

After hearing Roger's words, Selina also showed a puzzled expression.

She also felt that it was unreasonable for Bruce to ask Roger to go to the Batcave.

"Since he said so, let's go there."

After speaking, Selina got up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Seeing Selina's graceful back, Roger followed Selina to the bathroom without any hesitation.

…………

More than half an hour later, he and Selina, who were wearing everyday clothes, came to the bat cave underground in Wayne Manor.

In order not to keep Bruce waiting too long, Roger cast a flash to bring Selina over.

After seeing them appear in front of him in an instant, a solemn expression appeared on Bruce's face.

Like Selina, Bruce is not wearing casual combat clothes now, but is wearing a handmade custom suit that is very expensive at first sight.

"Where's Hughes?"

Roger glanced at Bruce and asked directly.

Bruce didn't speak, he came to the console and played a surveillance video.

This is……

Roger is no stranger to the place shown in the surveillance video.

To be precise, he just had a drink at that place the day before yesterday.

It was the president's office of the Wayne Group that was monitoring the video.

Judging from the timestamp in the lower right corner of the video, this is not a video, but a real-time monitoring screen.

The Hughes they were looking for is now sitting in the president's office.

In front of Hughes was the president and technical director of Wayne Group, Lucius Fox.

Lucius is one of Bruce's most trusted people, and props such as the Batmobile and the Batfighter are his masterpieces.

"How is this going?"

Looking at the real-time monitoring screen on the screen, Selina said to Bruce.

"An hour ago, he took the initiative to come to the Wayne Group, using the method of teleportation."

"He confessed to Lucius that he stole those materials."

"And he also demonstrated live how he broke through the firewall of the Wayne Group without leaving any traces."

Bruce didn't use that disguised gloomy voice again, and said quickly.
