"are you OK?"

As soon as Joanna heard Tony ask her this, she regretted answering Tony's call a little bit.She thought that the other party must have something urgent to call her at this time, but she didn't expect that the other party just asked if she was okay.

Joanna raised her hand and rubbed between her eyebrows: "I'm fine."

"Wow." Tony paused on the other end of the phone, thinking about what kind of wording would be better at this time.

"Listen Tony, I'm... not very comfortable talking right now. So, if it's nothing urgent, can we talk later?"

"Because of the 'Tongue of Lies'?" Tony's analysis of the reason hit the nail on the head.

Joanna sighed: "Yes."

"If it's because of this, then you don't have to hang up on my phone. Anyway, we have verified it just now, haven't we? You can't influence others through the phone. Otherwise, the detective's partner wouldn't insist on rushing over at this time."

Joanna held her forehead and didn't answer.

"Where are you now?"

Joanna raised her head and looked around: "Toilet. To be more specific... sitting on the toilet."

"Oh." Tony unconsciously showed a disgusted expression on the phone, even though he knew that Joanna couldn't see his expression, "Should I hang up the phone to avoid it?"

"No need." Joanna let out a long breath, as if trying to expel all the negative emotions in her heart, "Well, what's the matter?"

"There must be something wrong?"

"Come on, Tony. We don't need to be sloppy, you are not the kind of man who will patiently comfort girls."

"It's not fair what you say."

Joanna laughed: "I think it's fair. You're good at coaxing girls, but you can't comfort people. You know this yourself. If you were just trying to comfort me, you would persuade Steve to check on me situation, instead of calling me in person. After all, what's the matter?"

"Well, before I get down to business, I have to say that when the captain is not in front of you, you act much calmer." Tony said while passing a document to Joanna, "You know that Batman The one in Gotham."

Joanna didn't really want to hear the word "Gotham", but she still frowned and replied patiently: "I've heard of it a little bit. But I don't know much about it."

"That guy messed with Superman. You open the file and have a look."

Joanna clicked on the document while maintaining the call. After browsing through it, she suddenly felt that something was not right: "This is..."

"Transcript. The transcript of the planetary daily working meeting."

"Where did you get this?"

On the other side of the network, Tony highlighted what Joanna needed to pay attention to: "I got it by chance. The source of the information is not important, you look at this. This is the reporting idea proposed by Clark Kent at the meeting. "

Joanna looked at it for a while, and said in a somewhat disturbed tone: "He wants to expose Batman."

"Batman's activities in Gotham are not a matter of a day or two. Gotham is a place of right and wrong. Whether it's Batman, the police, or the criminals there, those guys like to stay in Gotham behind closed doors. I am fooling around. It is rare for Gotham's forces to intervene in the affairs of other places. Correspondingly, Gotham does not like external forces to intervene."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"What I want to say is...it's not a good thing for Superman to do this."

Joanna blinked: "Why? From a legal point of view, Batman's behavior is indeed somewhat marginal. Clark's reporting ideas are not a big problem. I can probably understand the idea of ​​these media people wanting to make big news .”

"But the problem is, Clark Kent is Superman. Clark wants to do Batman, and Superman wants to do Batman. Understand?" Tony spoke faster, "Joanna, think about it, what Batman did, What is the difference between what the Avengers did. After the fall of SHIELD, the Avengers have not yet been recognized by Congress. As you said, all the actions of the Avengers are now at the legal level Marginalized state. One day Superman will play Batman, and tomorrow it may be the turn of the Avengers."

"My God, Tony." Joanna lowered her head and wiped her face, "You're a conspiracy theory. Superman never showed any intention of going against the Avengers, and he helped us, remember? "

"Remember, when there were aliens. But now there are no aliens. Batman didn't mess with him."

"The tone of your voice makes me suspect that you and Batman are friends." Joanna said listlessly, "You don't have any technical cooperation with him, do you?"

"I need to work with someone?"

"Okay, I made a slip of the tongue." Joanna sighed, "Then you told me this because you intend to..."

When the topic got to the most critical part, Tony hesitated instead. After struggling for a long time, he said in a voice with some confidence: "It seems that we haven't tried whether the 'tongue of lies' is also effective for aliens."

"I have to hang up."

"Joanna..."

"If I don't go back, Steve will be worried. I too..." Joanna paused, "I don't want to make any decisions behind his back."

"Joanna, Joanna!" Tony's tone was a little anxious, "I can understand if you haven't made up your mind yet, but don't talk to the captain until you think it through, okay? I haven't talked to him yet. Talked about it, I think we're..."

"I understand." Joanna interrupted Tony. "At any rate, I am also a person who has worked in public relations for S.H.I.E.L.D. I know as much as you do how important it is to keep the team together."

Tony is relieved for Joanna's understanding of righteousness.The second before he hung up the phone, he felt a little sorry for Joanna, so he cared from the bottom of his heart: "Honestly, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I'm going to hang up." After saying this, Joanna hung up the phone irritably.

When Joanna went back, Watson had already arrived.Because he had already met Steve, Watson was not too surprised when he saw Joanna.Once someone is involved in Sherlock's case, that person will become a character full of secrets in Watson's heart.Therefore, even though Joanna showed a completely different sense of indifference from that day at the airport, Watson didn't take it too seriously.

"Are you okay?" Steve looked at Joanna worriedly.

Joanna nodded: "It's okay, it probably hurt my stomach."

Regarding Joanna's explanation, Sherlock on the side rolled his eyes, expressing his opinion.

Joanna ignored Sherlock, but continued to ask Steve, "When are Natasha and the others coming?"

"The FBI has been contacted, and Natasha has already received the other party, and she is on her way now."

Joanna nodded a little tiredly, and sat down on the sofa beside her.Her mind was full of all the shit Tony had just told her about Superman.She even blamed Clark a little bit.

Who is wrong, but a vigilante with such a sensitive topic!

Are all the bad guys in the world dead?He's bored enough to fuck Batman?

Joanna let out a long sigh and closed her eyes in distress.

Steve looked at Joanna worriedly, but due to the presence of Sherlock, Steve did not talk to Joanna.

About half an hour later, Natasha and Chloe arrived at the scene with a burly black man.

"So... Detective Decker, this is the man you're taking me to?"

Chloe, who saw Sherlock for the first time, acted a little emboldened: "Inspector Crawford, this is also the first time I've met these two detectives from England."

Crawford glanced at Chloe, without hiding the disgust on his face.

Since she couldn't fully grasp the situation, Chloe, who persuaded Crawford to come here as a police detective, could only silently accept this wave of disgust.

"So you are responsible for the serial killer case?" Compared with Chloe, Sherlock seemed much more arrogant.

"Yes. What do you think?" Although Crawford had no expectations for Sherlock, he still expressed basic politeness and politeness.

After all, according to the woman who claimed to be Natasha, the other party was a special adviser to the London Police, and she came to the United States to assist the FBI in handling the case because of the commission of the military.Although, Crawford has never figured out how the serial killings could be related to the military.

"You have not been able to find the murderer because too much irrelevant case information has been involved." Sherlock commented unceremoniously, "The murderer is a crime with a high IQ and knows how to hide himself. From the average age and weight of the victims It can be seen that the murderer's physique and physical ability are quite outstanding. Before the murder, the victims had no obvious abnormal behavior, but they had no obvious social connection with each other, which ruled out the possibility that the murderer chose acquaintances to commit crimes. At least we know that the murderer is very good at comforting strangers. In other words, he understands psychology very well and is proficient in the application of psychology. The murder case in the park and the dismembered body case in the Lauferbe Mountain Forest, the two cases were sent to the police five times, but they all returned without success. Although these two cases are not complete It fits the core characteristics of a serial murder case, but there are still many similarities. The killer is leading other criminals."

"Being good at psychology, guiding other criminals... Do you want to say that this serial murderer is cultivating a criminal team?" Crawford looked dismissive of Sherlock's derivation.

Sherlock glanced at Crawford: "I tied the tie by myself, and the collar of the shirt is wrinkled. Your wife didn't take care of all this for you, which means that there is something wrong with your relationship with your wife. You still have Wearing your wedding ring and touching it from time to time shows that you have a lot of love for your wife. You looked at your phone when you walked in the door and talked to Sheriff Decker. There was a medical advertisement in the push message. If you are healthy, then the biggest possibility is that your wife is seriously ill. I guess it is cancer. If you want to listen, I can continue to analyze it for you, but I think it is quite boring. To be honest, you are not as interesting as the killer. "

Crawford's face sank immediately, but he did not refute Sherlock's words.

Sherlock looked at Watson indifferently: "I miss Lestrade a little now. At least his expression is more vivid when he is guessed."

"Sherlock, don't say a few words." Watson carefully observed Crawford's expression.

"So, the big detective wants me to find someone with knowledge of psychology? Is that what you mean?" Crawford held back his anger and asked.

Sherlock showed a bored expression: "Didn't you get the point? He's guiding other killers. You went to the police five times and found nothing. He knows who you're arresting. He's among you."

When Crawford heard this, his face changed drastically.He straightened his mind a little, then took out his phone.

"I'm you, and I won't give orders indiscriminately right now." Sherlock reminded, "You think that serial murderer has kept part of his body. But what if you're wrong? The person you're thinking about now , apart from his work, is there nothing else he is good at?"

When Crawford heard this, his expression became even uglier.

The people around were all confused, and finally Joanna couldn't help asking: "What are you good at?"

Sherlock opened Twitter and showed Joanna the past information he had recently compiled.

Although Joanna knew that Sherlock was giving her a reminder, when she saw the food photos, she still couldn't help thinking about tonight's dinner in her mind.
