Can you retire today?

Bruce thanked Harvey for the "tip", and then began to wait for the so-called "will not let it go" of the Riley family.

It's a pity that what they showed was not as firm as they said when they faced Harvey, because Bruce didn't encounter any difficulties from the Riley family at all.

Bruce couldn't help but wonder if Lilith Reilly was adopted, or if she was so conceited that no one wanted to care how she died.

What he doesn't know is that the reason why the Reilly family did nothing to him is because of the tacit understanding among the dark forces that exist in Gotham - we will kill Wayne, but we will not let Wayne die. Grace disappears.

The former Wayne refers to a person, and the latter Wayne refers to a family name or family.

Bruce is currently the only remaining blood of the Wayne family, and the Riley family naturally dare not openly violate the underlying rules of Gotham.

As for Dick, although he was adopted by Bruce, no one saw him as a real Wayne.

Bruce, who didn't wait for the Riley family to take revenge, began to investigate the Riley family. Some things you will never take the initiative to guess when you don't know them, and when you know them, it can no longer be hidden.

The Court of Owls is covert, but not covert enough, at least to Bruce, that it's not untraceable.When it is confirmed that this force does exist, and even has a suspect, everything that was regarded as a story in the past becomes a clue.

I don't know why, when investigating the court of owls, Bruce subconsciously concealed Alfred, so he also concealed Dick by the way.

When the initial results of the investigation were obtained, Bruce looked at Alfred and asked tentatively: "Alfred, have you heard of the owl court?"

Hearing Bruce's words, Alfred was taken aback subconsciously. He suddenly remembered that one day more than ten years ago, Bruce's father Thomas also suddenly mentioned the Court of Owls, and then they investigated together...

Although he quickly restrained his emotions, Bruce's eyes did not escape the momentary daze.

It was precisely because of Alfred's reaction that Bruce couldn't help but increase the credibility of Lilith's words, so the person behind the killing of his parents was the Owl Court? !

Alfred doesn't know why Bruce brought up the Court of Owls all of a sudden, but he doesn't think Bruce is old enough to take care of it now, unless he's willing to involve the Justice League.

So Alfred said to Bruce: "The Court of Owls, you mean that scary nursery rhyme?"

Bruce could see that Alfred was pretending not to know, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he followed Alfred's words and said: "Be careful of the court of owls, and you will be monitored all the time. Peeping at Gotham City from the dark, hiding in In the attic with the low wall. He is with you when you live in the house, and he exists in the bedroom and the bed. Don't mention his name, and the claws will find your head..."

Alfred felt that the scene in front of him and the words he heard seemed familiar. In a trance, he seemed to see Thomas recite the nursery rhyme back then.

Through time and space, the figures of Bruce and Thomas seem to overlap. They are both people of high moral character, and they are also people that Alfred cares about.

Even compared to Thomas, he cared more about Bruce.

Seeing Alfred's abnormal state, Bruce couldn't help calling out, "Alfred?"

Alfred blinked when he heard this, "Master, what's the matter?"

"What were you thinking just now?" Bruce asked curiously.

"I was thinking—" You really look like your father.

"—why do you bring up the Court of Owls all of a sudden?"

Bruce didn't ask about Alfred's pause, he handed Alfred a document that recorded what he found out about the Owl Court, "This is what I found out recently."

Alfred took it and glanced at it, and found that it was not much different from what he and Thomas had checked, but when did Bruce check it, and why did he hide himself when he checked it?

Alfred vaguely felt that Bruce seemed to know something, and he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

"Why did you suddenly check these things?" Could it be that he also received a dagger engraved with an owl like Thomas?

"Someone told me—" Bruce said while observing Alfred's expression calmly, "Papa and Mama's death is related to the court of owls, is this true?"

Alfred sighed, "Is that why you want to investigate without telling me, my lord?"

"Forget it, I think you might disagree, so I just cut it first and played it later." Bruce felt like a prisoner waiting for the sentence at this moment, fearing the sentence but not daring to miss it.

"Can you tell me, is it them?"

About who arranged to kill Thomas and Martha, Bruce had asked Alfred many times, but all he got was rejection. He hoped that this time it would be different.

In fact, it is indeed different, because Alfred said to Bruce: "Actually, I'm not sure."

When Bruce heard this answer, he felt a little lost, and somehow felt sure.

He asked Alfred, "Why do you say that?"

Alfred looked at Bruce. He looked at Bruce for a long time, and he seemed to see Thomas' shadow in a trance, but in fact Bruce didn't look like Thomas. Bruce's appearance was more like Martha's, Only two points have the characteristics of Thomas.

Bruce has grown into a man who can take on everything, he has done far better than Alfred even imagined, he has grown from a boy to a man, he has grown from a child to a father, maybe I shouldn't keep hiding it.

Ignorance, maybe even more dangerous.

After making up his mind, Alfred said to Bruce: "After Master Thomas and Mrs. Martha were killed, my first reaction at the time was-it was done by the Owl Court. Because I was investigating with Master Thomas before The Court of Owls, and we are investigating because Lord Thomas received a dagger carved with an owl."

Bruce listened carefully to what Alfred said. He hadn't heard anything related to Thomas and Martha for a long time.

With their deaths, they're taboo for Bruce, because they're wounds that hurt to mention.

"With the deepening of our investigation, we found that the deaths of many Waynes were related to that organization. Just when we wanted to continue the investigation, they seemed to have discovered us. Master Thomas received death threats."

But just the threat of death is not enough to deter Thomas.

"Do you know how huge the Owl Court is? It includes most of Gotham's family power, but even so, it's not all of Gotham's darkness, not even most of it."

Of course Bruce knows how dark Gotham is, and no one, he thought, could feel it more deeply than Batman.

Following Alfred's narration, Bruce had many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't ask any of them. He just listened quietly, listening to the heroic years that belonged to his father.

"Boundless darkness that is so thick that it is almost substantial will make people despair, but Master Thomas is not desperate, because he knows that once he retreats, all the bad things will be left to you and your children and grandchildren. He is so Love you……"

Bruce couldn't help biting his lip, he hasn't felt this kind of feeling of being protected for a long time, even Clark hasn't given him this feeling.

Love and family affection are different. Compared with love, family affection is undoubtedly more trustworthy and dependent.

"...In Gotham, there are no secrets. Master Thomas was finally discovered..." Maybe they can still struggle to save themselves in the face of the Owl Court, but in the face of the entire Gotham...

Hearing this, Bruce couldn't help asking: "So, who is it..."

Alfred shook his head, "I thought it was the Owl Court. Later, I felt that it didn't match their style. Moreover, Master Thomas avoided me and talked with some people alone. I guess it might be the Owl Court. Although the result of the final conversation did not seem to be good, Master Thomas was very confident that nothing would happen in a short time..."

Bruce's heart was in a mess, so everything went back to the original point. Could it be that he couldn't find the real murderer in his life? !

Alfred thought about it carefully, and said to Bruce: "After you left, I checked, maybe... maybe it has nothing to do with Gotham, we shouldn't be blindfolded by the darkness of Gotham." It's dark, but it doesn't mean there's no darkness elsewhere.

When Bruce heard Alfred's words, he suddenly thought of the stowaway, who could cast magic on Clark when he was a baby, so could it be...

He secretly kept this guess in his heart, whether it is related to Gotham or not, the existence of Batman is an enemy of the darkness of Gotham, isn't it.

Next, let's investigate the owl court first. No matter whether they killed their parents or not, their existence itself is a mistake.

"Alf, before I..." I'm sorry to keep it from you.

Although Bruce didn't say what he said later, Alfred understood, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm glad to serve you, sir."

Bruce pointed to the things he found out that he handed to Alfred, and asked, "Do you have anything to add? Maybe you and Dad found out more details than I did."

Alfred laughed: "We are no match for one of the world's greatest detectives—Batman."

Yes, now Batman is known as one of the greatest detectives in the world. In DC comics, Batman is directly called "the greatest detective in the world", but in the comprehensive British-American story with Sherlock Holmes In the world, he can only be one of them.In this regard, in fact, a certain long-faced detective has something to say.

That being said, Alfred added something to what Bruce found.

After finishing speaking, Alfred thought for a while, and said to Bruce: "Maybe Master Thomas might leave something for you, you might as well look for it."

The author has something to say: About who is the world's greatest detective

Charlotte: I know who Batman is
