batman and red hood

"So you're not going to change into your suit and go after some clues?"

Both Dick and Jason were not very interested in high society dinner parties. Dick would not take the initiative to attend such events unless necessary, and Jason, who had just arrived, was even less interested.In his opinion, this kind of place is a club of lies where everyone wears a smiling mask and tells lies to each other.

The two wandered around the banquet venue for a while before returning to the suite that had been prepared in the hotel.

Jason thought that Dick would definitely change into his uniform and run to find some clues, but unexpectedly, as soon as Dick entered the room, he collapsed on the sofa, fiddled with the laptop on his stomach, and Barbara didn't know where he was. Fiddle with something.

"Are you kidding, if I put on that uniform, I won't be able to walk a meter away from this room"

It's not a wise choice to lie to Superman, and Dick doesn't want to be included in Clark's ban list from the Metropolis.

"Is he that powerful?"

"Well, although most of the time he tries to block out useless sounds as much as possible, but I believe he must be monitoring the movement of this room now."

"Then what are you doing?"

Jason's attention shifted to the computer, something Dick was talking to Barbara about.

"Barbara just sent the news that a body was found in the Gotham Police Station just now. It was disfigured and the identity is currently unknown"

"Is this something worth noticing?"

"Corpse's fingers barely show fingerprints"

"……what does that mean?"

Jason didn't understand why the lack of fingerprints on a body was a noticeable thing.

"It is impossible for someone in this world to be born without fingerprints, unless he was born without fingers. Most of the possibility of having no fingerprints is the result of frequent contact with chemical reagents in the acquired environment"

Dick sat up and put the computer on the coffee table so that Jason could read it.

"Some low-end manual labor will also come into contact with chemical reagents, such as decoration workers and chemical factory workers, but judging from the pictures of this corpse, the skin of the uninjured part of this person's body is not particularly rough, and the muscles of the body are not particularly rough. If it is underdeveloped, then those who will be in contact with chemical reagents in the high-end work field are..."

"Pharmacists, chemical experiments?"

"you know?"

"Bruce Said"

Jason's answer made Dick raise his eyebrows.

"What's the matter? Are you going back tonight?"

If Jason remembered correctly, this business meeting with Bruce should last for 3 days, right. Today is just an initial press conference, and there will be another joint press conference after the three-day talks are over.It took six hours to fly back to Gotham and back, and I couldn't do anything at all.

"Of course Bruce Wayne can't go back, but Batman will definitely go back"

Dick said with a smile, at the speed of the bat fighter, they can reach their destination in about 10 minutes. After all, the bat fighter can hover in the air at will.

"...then I'll call Bruce"

"No, he should already know. Now that Luther is around, he still can't get away. It will probably be a little later."

While talking, Dick sent a message to Barbara on the opposite side, and soon Barbara replied to the message and said:

"Sergeant Gordon has left a gap and can go directly to the mortuary"

After the dinner party was over, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

As soon as Bruce returned to the room, he changed into the black uniform. To Jason's surprise, not only the Batmachine but also Superman were waiting for them on the roof.

"Is he going too?"

Jason asked Dick in a low voice.

"It seems that, after all, this matter has something to do with Luthor"

"gone!"

Bruce returned to the paralyzed face that Jason was familiar with. The image of the previous Gotham baby had completely disappeared on this face, it was like a hallucination.

Several people soon came to the morgue of the Gotham Police Department. Bruce skillfully cut off the alarm on the skylight, and several people were hanged from the skylight.

The temperature in the morgue was much lower than outside, Jason shivered from the cold, and the entire room was filled with morgues.

Bruce walked to one of the drawers and opened the drawer, and the mosaic corpse that Jason saw on the computer a few hours ago appeared in front of his eyes.

Jason felt his quiet stomach start to churn again. Dick noticed his state and stood in front of Jason to block the corpse, but he didn't dare to stare at it nakedly.

After following Batman for so many years, Dick has seen many corpses with various causes of death, but this corpse still gave him a big shock.

The corpse was covered with knife wounds. The cause of death written in the autopsy report was asphyxiation. The black strangle marks on the neck that could not disappear clearly showed the appearance of the murder weapon. And that disfigured face.

The picture was mosaiced and I didn’t think it was. After seeing the corpse, I realized that the face was obviously ablated by some kind of chemical reagent. The whole face was completely blurred together, and the facial features couldn’t be distinguished. That’s really...

"B, what do I need to find?"

Clark walked in front of Dick and cut off Dick's eyes that had been lingering on the corpse. All the autopsies that could be done were done on the corpse, and most of the information could be found from the autopsy report.

Bruce took out tools and containers, collected some samples from different parts of the corpse, and said:

"Very small pinholes, and the degree of cytotoxicity, etc."

Bruce said while scanning the corpse with the instrument on the mask.

"He... can really see?"

Jason was amazed that Bruce let Superman use his super vision to see.

"Well, he can"

Dick and Jason had recovered from the level-up just now. The two stood by and watched Superman and Batman keep testing the corpses, and occasionally exchanged their findings.

The communication between Batman and Superman is mixed with a lot of technical terms that Jason can't understand. Dick looked at Jason's constipated face but didn't ask questions, and then pretended to be unconscious and explained a little bit beside him, and he could see The light in those green eyes.

“They have a good relationship”

Superman saw through Dick's tricks, and the little boy who had been following Bruce now had a successor.Soon the boy will grow into a true vigilante in his own right, just like his mentor.

Batman didn't seem to hear Superman's soliloquy at all, and he was still examining the corpse on his own.

"What did you find? b"

Seeing Batman stop what he was doing, Superman knew he had something to gain.

"Not good news"

"Good news never bothers you"

Batman took one look at Superman and said:

"If the guess is correct, this person is Esma Claude"

"Oh my God, this is probably the worst news ever"
