[Zhongyingmei] Vampires don't want to inherit

Chapter 23 Renault doesn't want to carry on the family

"Gotham is a very attractive place. Maybe she has all kinds of unsatisfactory places, and it is these flaws that make her more attractive. Her sharpness and tolerance are so harmonious." Renault cut the steak silently, The silver knife and fork is in his hands, and every cut is like art, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Bruce leaned back on the chair, the wine glass in his hand has not been put down, and he looked at Renault wantonly, frivolously but not annoying.

"Gotham is indeed very attractive, but tolerance... I have a different opinion on this point." Bruce sipped his red wine and continued: "Gotham is an extremely xenophobic city. All unprepared people in Gotham It’s not long. I have seen too many outsiders, you are one of the few people who can integrate into Gotham, you have as many mysteries as Gotham, and you are as charming as Gotham.”

Reynolds slightly curled his lips, avoiding Bruce, looking at the white porcelain plate in front of him, as if he discovered how beautiful this plate was for the first time.

In Tim Drake's eyes, this means that Reynolds was shy because of Bruce's words. Bruce's love words are always too sticky and sophisticated. For those who are in love, they can drown him in those eyes, but after all, Reynolds is not For Bruce's female companions, there was a little embarrassment in this shyness.

He was also secretly paying attention to Renault. When Renault picked up the knife and fork, he was a little disappointed. The silver knife and fork did not harm Renault. Maybe he was not afraid of silver at all.

Only the system knew that Renault didn't appear happy, he was in a bad mood, and his favorability for Bruce Wayne was insanely down.

Reynolds took a sip from his wine glass, and put the knife and fork neatly in a straight line, "Maybe it's because I have a high compatibility with Gotham."

Bruce cut the steak and stuffed it into his mouth. He noticed that Reynolds just cut the steak and did not eat it. He suggested enthusiastically, "Today's steak is freshly killed calf flown in from France, and the chef is also a top chef. Why? Don't try it."

Renault had no choice but to fork a piece of steak and stuff it into his mouth. Wayne's steak must be top-notch and delicious, but this was torture for Renault, and the steak turned out to be medium rare.

Bruce Wayne must have done it on purpose, who would fry the steak to medium rare?Reynolds suppressed the discomfort and chewed the beef, feeling that his mood was even worse, and had to praise the taste of the steak.

Bruce nodded in satisfaction, "I noticed that you have a lot of fans on social networks, and you posted a picture about my adopted son. It may be a little rude, I wanted to find a more formal time to ask you to meet, but Today is just a chance, can you tell me where you met Jason?"

Renault finally had a chance to push the steak aside and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "If you are talking about the homeless man in the cemetery. I went to visit the grave that day and saw him sitting behind the tombstone. No, I called the police and the hospital."

"At that time, I was in a hurry to take a step ahead. Later, the police contacted me and said that they couldn't find him. Maybe they left by themselves."

Bruce drew a big cross in his heart, and even Tim could hear how watery the reason was, let alone the top detective Bruce Wayne.

But Bruce couldn't question it directly. He dug up Jason's coffin when he confirmed that the red hood was Jason, and there was a dummy inside.He went to Lei Xiao Aogu, and Lei Xiao admitted that Thalia had taken Jason away, and that the League of Assassins had resurrected Jason.

Lei Nuo seems to be a passerby who passed by unintentionally, but Lei Nuo's appearance in the cemetery is the first time he has traces to follow, and his previous life is blank.He was at the top of the Gotham gang two years after he appeared out of nowhere, which made Bruce uneasy, especially when he found out that the Red Hood was not dead and established a relationship with Raynor.

"Okay, okay." Bruce's expression became a little frustrated, his blue eyes revealed disappointment and unbearable, it seemed that Renault's words hit him hard, making Renault feel as if he had bullied him, if Those women who are overflowing with maternal love will definitely rush into his arms to comfort him when they see Gotham baby so sad.

"Hey, if Mr. Straw has news about Jason, please be sure to let us know. Jason's death made our whole family very sad. Ever since he knew that Jason might still be alive, Bruce has been looking for him." Tim. Drake kicks Bruce lightly under the table, and Reno isn't one of the women Bruce dates, so the look doesn't help.

Bruce Wayne froze for a moment, and covered his face with his hands. When he put his hands down, the loss and frustration on his face had all disappeared, and he turned back into that playboy again.

"I was rude. Jason is really important to me. I have always had a hard time accepting the fact that he left me. I have been regretting it. If I had paid more attention to him, this tragedy might not have happened."

Renault silently raised his glass to express his sympathy.If Jason didn't know what his reaction would be when he heard these words, he probably sneered a few more times.

Bruce quickly changed the subject. It must be said that he is a man of profound knowledge. He can always talk to Renault about topics that interest Renault. His profound knowledge also amazed Renault, and finally began to positively increase his favorability.

Tim Drake is holding a fork, and the recording pen in his trouser pocket has been recording all the exchanges between the two. He is dumbfounded as he listens to the two talking about the history of red wine today, the economy of Gotham, and Mayor Cobblepot. To Arkham Asylum...

Just when Tim decided to give up extracting information from the conversation between the two, the two had made an appointment to take time to play golf together.

Alfred stepped forward to remove the empty plate at the right time, and presented sweet soup and dessert.Bruce Wayne took a plate of dessert quite naturally, and ate at a fairly fast pace.Tim also took away a plate of desserts, "Mr. Straw, this is Ah Fu's specialty dessert. In the past, he always limited the supply."

Renault also took a piece, "Mr. Pennyworth is a very qualified housekeeper."

"Thank you very much for your compliment, I hope you have a good day today." Alfred stood behind Bruce, thanking Renault for his praise with a kind smile. "I noticed that you eat very little, is today's dish not to your liking?"

"Well, actually, I've been working out lately, and I have a prescribed diet. If I overdo it, my trainer will be mad."

"Healthy diet and work and rest are conducive to good health." Alfred nodded, but looked at Bruce and Tim, "Master Bruce, Master Timothy, your sugar intake today has exceeded the limit."

Bruce and Tim withdrew their hands at the same time, and they were about to divide up Renault's dessert while the old butler was chatting with him.Renault just looked at the two with a smile, and Alfred took away the dessert plate apologetically.

Renault made sure that both Bruce and Tim had finished their meal, and got up to say goodbye to them.Bruce also stood up with Renault, and chatted a few more words in the corridor.

Alfred brought Renault's windbreaker and box. Renault put on the windbreaker and looked at Bruce. Bruce interrupted him when he was about to speak. Bruce took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Renault, "A small gift ,Hope you like it."

Renault was a little surprised that Bruce would prepare a gift for him. Under Alfred's encouraging eyes, he opened the box and found a pair of royal blue cufflinks. Renault smiled and took off the original cufflinks, and replaced them with the ones given by Bruce. of a pair.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Renault left the mansion with the suitcase in his hand, and got into the car that took him back to Copperpot Hotel.He looked back at Wayne Manor in the car, and a group of bats flew over Wayne Manor. He turned around and took off a cuff button in his hand.

"System, is there anything special about these cufflinks?"

"Based on the scans, there is nothing wrong with the cufflinks, just normal cufflinks."

Raynor put the cufflinks back on, "I hope so."

……

Batman is sitting in the Batcave, the piano is teleported into the Batcave, and Tim is putting Raynor's used cutlery into the instrument for scanning.The results shown were not what they wanted.

"There are no fingerprints of Straw on the piano or knife and fork. Unless he has no fingerprints, he has prepared in advance." Tim inserted the memory of the recording pen into the computer and began to analyze the texture of Raynor's voice.

"In addition, Straw had no obvious discomfort with the use of silver tableware when eating today, and the garlic in the house did not affect him. The points mentioned by the Winchester brothers did not work."

"He is well prepared." Batman enlarged a picture, which is the imprint of the wine glass holder, and the instrument extracted a small amount of colloid. Try the holy water from Winchester for the first time."

Another report came out with a "ding" sound. The lip lines on the mouth of the wine glass were not hidden. Renault's lip lines did not look messy, making his lips look perfect. Bruce closed the report after reading it for a while. Compared with fingerprints, lip lines can play a negligible role.

"You actually gave him a pair of cufflinks, what's so special about those cufflinks?" Tim stared at the screen, his mouth not idle.

Bruce didn't speak, but just turned on the volume of a monitoring screen, the hum of the car rang in the Batcave, and a faint light could be vaguely seen on the screen, shaking with the frequency of people walking.

"...Whoa, did you put the monitor in that box this time? What if he drops the box?"

Bruce curled his lips slightly, but didn't say a word.

……

Renault returned to the Iceberg Restaurant, sitting in front of the fireplace, fiddling with the sapphire cufflinks that Bruce had given him, and the box was casually thrown aside.

"It looks like you're having a good night." Red Hood sat in the darkness. He originally planned to go straight away, but wanted to know what was going on with Batman. He hesitated for a while before Raynor came back.

"Mr. Wayne is a gentleman, and he is good to his family. Master Drake is very energetic." When Renault saw that the red hood was still in the Iceberg Restaurant, he knew that he was duplicity.

Renault threw the original cufflinks to Red Hood, and Red Hood looked at the cufflinks carefully, but found nothing after flipping it over and over.Renault gestured to his hood, and Red Hood simply put away the cufflinks, planning to go back to the safe house and study it carefully.

"Host, Director Anderson is outside." The system has taken over the electronic control of the entire Iceberg restaurant, and everyone's movements are under its monitoring.

Anderson didn't give Red Hood a look when he entered the room. He always knew what to ask and what not to look at, "Boss, someone sent this."

He put a letter on the table, Renault opened the letter, there was nothing special, only three short lines.

"I am a piece of information, but people need to peel me to find other information, who am I?

Nightcrawler's nightmare, I flip the world, I spread despair, who am I?

Some people's nightmare, some people's savior, my hand is cold and desperate, reaching out to that warm heart, who am I? "

Renault turned over the letter paper, and on it was a question mark occupying the entire paper, "Riddler's riddle, he is challenging me."

"The Riddler?" Red Hood crossed the sofa and took the paper. He had heard of the Riddler, but this person hadn't been active in Gotham for a long time, so he thought that this person had left Gotham a long time ago.

"Riddles, bats and death." Renault licked his canine teeth, "I think we should find someone to confirm the answer to the riddle."

"Who?"

"Penguin."

The author has something to say:

*A Fu is an Englishman, I have doubts about the fact that his cooking is delicious, but the dessert should be delicious.According to Batman's amount of exercise, he should need a lot of calories and energy.

*The first and third riddles were used by the riddleman, and the second one was compiled.

* Listen to Penguin's love story!
