Chapter 78 The Headless Case

Although Bruce said he would talk to Jason, the reality didn't seem to be giving him that chance.

The Poison Ivy and Pigface that escaped from Arkham were sent back, but the Joker, Freeze, and Mudface were completely gone.If Harley Quinn wasn't with Poison Ivy she must be with the Joker.

Bruce had to go to a social dinner that he couldn't escape tonight. Jason looked at the untimely projection of bat lights on the sky outside the window, and decided to go alone despite Alfred's dissuasion.

"Oh my God"

Watching Jason's motorcycle disappear at the end of the tunnel, Alfred hurriedly made an emergency call to Bruce.

Bruce also saw the huge bat light outside the window when he received the call from Alfredo.

But at the moment he couldn't get away from the crowd at all.

"Mr. Wayne? You don't seem very happy. Are you dissatisfied with the dinner?"

A woman in a light green floor-length dress looked at Bruce with a smile and asked.

"How could it be, Ms. Jones"

Ms. Jones is one of the hosts of tonight's banquet. This evening's dinner is not a charity banquet, but a business dinner held by the largest chemical medicine federation in the United States in response to the large amount of regulated chemicals that have flowed into the market in recent years. , mainly to answer public questions, and at the same time play a role in beating and restraining all companies in the industry, although in Bruce's view, this is nothing more than a meaningless show.

Wayne Enterprises owns a large-scale chemical pharmaceutical company, but a banquet of this level should not have reached the level that required him to attend in person. The main reason why he is here now is that the Traces of the clown.

On such occasions, build a good relationship with the personnel of various companies, and you may be able to hear some of the news he needs most from someone. For example, which company has recently lost a batch of raw materials that can be used to synthesize laughing gas. things like that...

"But you look preoccupied"

Ms. Jones managed to see through Bruce's disguise with great shame.

"...I'm just... a little worried about the recent situation of the adopted son. We have been a little... um... small conflicts"

Bruce knew that this business woman was not such a character to be fooled by, so he spoke half-truths and half-truths.

"Oh... which one?"

Two faces came to Ms. Jones' mind, the one always smiling gently, and the one always tensed.

"Jason, second"

"Oh, it's not surprising, boys of this age do need special care"

Ms. Jones thought of the boy with a pair of very pure and beautiful green eyes. That kind of pure emerald green eyes is rare, and the age has indeed reached a time to worry about.

"Don't worry too much, you are also from that age. Boys of this age always have some unreasonable thoughts in their heads. Give him some space and time, and it will pass."

"That's right"

There seems to be a natural advantage in treating women with children. Bruce didn't mention what kind of conflict he and Jason had at all, but Jones could still give pertinent and useful suggestions.

"Thank you for your opinion"

This helpful advice was a windfall for Bruce tonight.

In the field of chemicals, Wayne Enterprises is not a leading company.Wayne Enterprises has only been involved in the field of chemical agents for a few years, but it can't support the overall structure of the enterprise. Bruce has already become the protagonist of this business dinner, especially when Wayne Enterprises and Metropolis' Lex Group jointly developed new agents. after.

The reporters were testing Bruce almost all the time, testing the research progress of related medicines from various angles.

Facing the varied questions from the reporters, Bruce responded with his signature smile, answered all kinds of irrelevant questions, and cleverly avoided all sensitive questions.

No one can see the anxious worry beneath the perfect "mask" of the Gotham baby.

Bruce really wanted to find a reason to leave here immediately to see what happened to Gordon. Unfortunately, neither the media nor the organizer seemed to intend to give him this opportunity.

He wanted to find a female partner to get away and then find an excuse to leave as before, but this time the organizer's theme seemed too serious, all guests and reporters entering the venue must have an invitation letter from the organizer to enter, those The socialites who are always used to liven up the atmosphere at the banquet are all quarantined.

Bruce could only try his best to hide his anxiety and deal with various questions from the organizers and the media.

Jason didn't know Bruce's anxiety at the moment. He was now looking at the materials Sergeant Gordon handed him.

"Can't Batman come tonight?"

Gordon looked at the boy in red and asked casually.Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice, so there's nothing to worry about, at least through this point, it's enough to know that he is still a person who can't be cloned.

"Um"

While flipping through the files, Jason said casually, which was considered an answer to the question. Gordon missed the old Robin. That kid would always chat with Batman when he was flipping through the files in silence. He was a talkative little guy. .

Jason didn't know anything about Gordon's inner feelings. He tried his best to read every detail in the data, and tried to record all the contents in his mind.After flipping through, he returned the information to Gordon, and was about to go to the address of the person mentioned in the information.

"Are you going over now?"

Jason didn't answer Gordon's question, and swung away from the platform by the rope.

"...at least he didn't suddenly disappear"

Watching the back of the boy leaving, Gordon said comfortingly.

Perhaps the reporters finally lost interest in Bruce and turned their attention to the organizer of the banquet. Bruce found an excuse and finally left the banquet. He didn't go to the dedicated platform of the Gotham Police Department. Bat The lights were off, indicating that there was no one there, so after thinking about it, he turned and flew towards the Gotham Police Station.

Gordon was surprised by the person who suddenly appeared in his office. Of course, it was not the first time that Batman appeared in the room so uninvited and quietly. The reason for his surprise was that Batman came here to ask Robin Whereabouts, what happened?Gordon's sharp instincts as a policeman kept sounding warnings.

"Uh... what happened to you guys?"

Looking at the man who was about to leave after getting the answer, Gordon still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.Of course, Batman couldn't give him an answer, he skillfully opened the window, jumped and disappeared into the darkness.

Gordon looked at the direction in which Batman disappeared and said to himself:

"It turns out that Batman is also a father who can't do anything with his son..."

Although it is not sure whether Robin and Batman are father and son, this new discovery made Gordon suddenly have a sense of closeness to Batman. It turns out that this ghost-like guy is just an ordinary father.In my mind, I unconsciously put the daily conflicts between myself and Barbara on Batman and Robin. I remembered that when Barbara was rebellious, I made her go east and west, and I thought about it carefully. It's the same, after all, there is still a gap between being a son and not a daughter, but Gordon still can't believe that someone would dare to confront Batman.

"...It really is father and son."

Only father and son can ignore Batman's icy eyes and stare at Gordon thinking so.

Bruce didn't know anything about the little theater in Gordon's mind. He just hurried to the house of the person who might know Mudface's whereabouts, hoping that Jason wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

But when he arrived near the informant's residence, he saw the red figure on the balcony leaning over to look down, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Speeding up, I arrived at the balcony where Jason was, and I saw a man downstairs lying flat on the ground with blood under his body. I don't know if he is alive or dead.

A man falling from a building quickly attracted attention, and the people who found him started trying to call [-].

Jason saw Bruce coming, just looked up at him and looked away.

Bruce knew Jason, and this action meant he was guilty, but Bruce wasn't sure if Jason pushed the man off by accident, or if Jason did something to make the man jump off by himself, or if the man wanted to jump but Jason didn't have time Stop it, but judging by Jason's appearance, he doesn't intend to say it.

"……go home"
