On the fifth day after the Puppet Master closed the case, the Gotham Police Department held a celebration party. There was no need to postpone it for so long, and they could have just opened champagne to celebrate.

But there is one person who has not come out of the hospital yet, and that is the Arkham District police officer Naegi who chased down the puppeteer.

To be precise, he was not originally needed.

But Gordon announced it directly in front of the media, and now everyone in Gotham knows that it was Naegi who solved the Puppet Master case, and that street vigilante... Batman.

"Bah, what Batman! We are the ones protecting this city!" A senior detective cursed indignantly, holding a wine glass in his hand, and drank the champagne in the glass.

This celebratory dinner was held directly at the Gotham Police Department, and a number of media reporters and dignitaries were also invited.

Even Gotham Mayor Don Mitchell Jr. came in person. The scene was grand and it was also to stabilize the recent tense situation.

As for Naegi, who everyone had been waiting for for a long time, he was promoted three levels and became a senior detective, just one step away from becoming the chief of police.

Above the chief of police is the deputy chief and then the chief, but it still depends on the location. The Gotham Police Department is the city bureau, and the Arkham Police Department is a regional branch, so there is still a big difference.

Jerry also got a promotion. The annual salary of a third-level detective starts at 60,000, and he also has an exclusive car, which is a police car given to Miaomu and his team by the Gotham Police Department as a commendation.

The new model of the Urban Hummer H2, with police paint, has a reduced weight compared to the military model, but has increased bulletproofness. It was originally intended to be allocated to special operations teams.

However, at the suggestion of Chief Bullock, the person in charge of the puppet case, the car was assigned to the Arkham Police Department.

"It's very lively."

Mayor Don Mitchell Jr. stood on the stairs on the second floor, looking down at the buffet below with a faint smile on his face.

This smile is real. He feels proud of the fact that the Gotham Police Department handled the case efficiently, and he doesn't get criticized by others.

"yes……"

The big boss of the Gotham police, Captain Gillian Lobo, walked over, put his hand on the fence, looked towards the city police station gate, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Maroni has been arrested, and things are getting a little tricky."

Mayor Mitchell took a sip from his glass, and the smile on his face disappeared. "He has his own way, and he can get out, but that big bat has caused a lot of trouble recently."

As he spoke, Mayor Mitchell snapped his fingers behind him, and a newspaper was delivered to him by his sexy secretary.

Director Lobo turned his head and took a look. On the front page of the newspaper was a photo of Batman. It was very blurry, with only a black outline. The title was "Gotham City's Hero, Who is He?"

"A masked weirdo can be called a hero? Isn't this hero a bit cheap? Do you know what those people on the streets of Gotham say?" Mitchell asked, raising his hands and taking a step back.

"Anyway, it's all those boring things again. Gotham doesn't need a hero. He's just a-"

Before Loeb could finish his words, the door of the Municipal Bureau was pushed open. Gordon walked in first, and the second person who came in was the protagonist of the banquet.

As soon as Naegi, who was wearing a black detective jacket, came in, the reporters immediately picked up their cameras and flashes went off.

"--criminal!"

"Look, our Gotham Police Department heroes are here!"

Mayor Don Mitchell Jr. walked down the stairs with a friendly smile and grasped Naegi's hand.

"My God, you're so young."

Mitchell said in surprise, although he had read Miaomu's information a long time ago, he knew very well how to perform in front of the public.

"Hello, Mayor!" Miao Mu nodded quickly.

The cameras in the hands of the surrounding reporters were clicking non-stop. Tomorrow's headlines will be about the heroes of the Gotham Police Department.

Chief Lobo also smiled and shook hands with Naegi solemnly, "Our Gotham Police Department is in need of elites like you. I heard that you and Chief Bullock work very well together."

When Naegi heard this, he smiled awkwardly. When he turned his gaze to the side, he saw Sheriff Brock, who was eating happily at the edge of the banquet hall with a hot dog in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.

When Brock saw him, he put down his glass, rubbed the hot dog on his neck, and said something in a threatening manner.

Without even having to understand lip reading, Miaomu knew that Sheriff Block was protesting for his Dodge sedan.

"What are you talking about?" Gordon came over, picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and ate it, looking at the place where Brock was making a fuss.

"That boy is coming to the Gotham Police Department. He's a hero..." Brock retracted his expression and took a sip of his drink.

"He deserves the title, he is a hundred times better than stubborn old guys like us."

"I don't want him to come... Such a good seedling shouldn't be broken here. The water here is very deep."

Bullock shook his head. He knew better what the Gotham Police Department was like than Gordon, who was stubborn and conservative and refused to accept bribes.

"Have you read today's paper? Batman has been on the headlines for three days in a row. I bet it will be again tomorrow."

Gordon picked up a glass of champagne and took a sip, and Bullock shook his head when he heard this.

"Who was thrown in front of the police station tonight? That guy is just messing around. Maroni has put a reward of half a million on him!"

"..."

Gordon didn't say anything, but just looked at the banquet scene silently. As a policeman, he didn't like Batman, but as a member of Gotham, he just wanted to say that Batman was right.

Batman doesn't care what gang you belong to or who your boss is. As long as you do evil in Gotham City, he will beat you up severely if he sees you, and then tie you up and throw you in front of the police station.

Every night there are some "guests" at the door of the police station.

Maybe tonight will be no exception...

Gordon turned and looked towards the entrance of the police station.

------

On the streets of Gotham City, a gangster holding a dagger escaped from a dark alley screaming.

The next second, a black grappling hook flew out from the alley like a soul-catching chain of a hell messenger, and instantly wrapped around the gangster's legs, pulling him backwards.

"No! I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"

The gangster dropped the dagger, grabbed the cracks between the bricks on the ground with both hands, screamed in fear, and begged for mercy.

But the force on the rope behind him was getting stronger and stronger, directly pulling his body up, and his fingers loosened.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The gangster screamed and flew into the alley. Everything fell silent. The dark alley seemed to be hiding a monster.

Above the alley, on the rooftops of two buildings.

Batman climbed up using the grappling hook. A gust of wind blew his cape behind him, and he turned his head to look to the other side.

Alfred's voice came from the headset:

"Master, maybe I shouldn't advise you, but you really have to stop. The people you want to protect will kill you for the half a million. It's not that easy to be a hero..."

"I'm not a hero. I never was, and I'm not now. I'm just... exercising my anger!"

Batman flew out from the rooftop with a grappling gun, and the cloak behind him suddenly spread out, like a huge black bat flying in the air.

"Help!"

A woman in a skirt fell to the ground, and two men who had followed her all the way came over with ill intentions.

A man bent down and picked up the high-heeled shoes that the woman had thrown away after she fell. He licked the shoe surface with his tongue and asked with a lewd smile: "You dropped this, didn't you?"

The woman was horrified when another man came over and snatched her handbag, took out her wallet and pulled out the bills and clapped them in his hands.

His greedy eyes were fixed on the woman's thighs, and he raised his hand to grab them.

With a whoosh... a black shadow fell from the air, and the man holding the high-heeled shoes was kicked away.

With a bang, the trash can on the wall was knocked over.

Before the other man could react, he was punched in the stomach, and then a strong hand grabbed his neck and slammed him against the wall, and the fist hit his stomach again and again.

A car drove by the roadside, and under the light of the car headlights, the man was horrified to find that the person in front of him was Batman...

With a thud, the man was thrown to the ground by Batman. He held his stomach and convulsed, "Ah... Ugh!"

The terrified woman standing against the wall covered her chest with her hands and looked fearfully at Batman standing next to her.

A gust of wind blew, and the scattered banknotes on the ground were blown up by the wind. The woman quickly took a look, and when she looked over here.

Batman has disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared and blended into the darkness.

The woman leaned back even more frightened, grabbed a broken glass bottle, and looked around in horror.

Only the screams of the two men were still ringing.

The woman looked with fear at the man who was lying not far away, holding his stomach and twitching. She looked at the glass bottle in her hand.

She walked towards the man trembling, and tried with some fear, and stabbed him directly with the bottle. The glass fragments pierced the man's unprotected neck, and blood gushed out.

The woman dropped the bottle, picked up the handbag on the ground, grabbed the money on the ground with her bloody hands, and fled the scene.
