Clark came down the stairs slowly, holding a little girl who was shaking her hands and feet deliberately in both hands, and Marzanina, with her beloved little hair crown on her head, spent a long time in the bedroom before agreeing to go out. take it off.

Clark also had no way to express his feelings to Xiao Nizi, because they were very sure that the person who gave the gift was not on earth at all.

Bruce, who watched late into the night last night, didn't intend to get up at all, and of course no one in the family wanted to wake him up.

One big and one small sat down at the dining table, and Alfred brought Clark and Marzanina's breakfast—Clark came back yesterday and parked his car under his apartment in the metropolis, then changed into his uniform and flew back , so he can leisurely have breakfast with his daughter today, and he will have much less time to fly directly back to the metropolis later.

Mazanina held the fork in her hand, she tilted her head to look at Clark, and called out, "Papa?"

"Ok?"

"Father promised me to take me to the circus performance tomorrow," Mazanina asked expectantly, "Can you go together?"

"It's hard to say now, there is a case in the bureau, and these days are the golden period for solving the case," Clark said. He looked at Mazanina puffed up and pouted, and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't promise you yet. , I will accompany you when I have time."

"Then," Mazanina picked up the sliced ​​egg, put it into her mouth, and moaned loudly: "That's fine!"

Clark accompanied Marzanina to finish breakfast, and played with Xiao Nizi and the cute big fat dog for a while, before Marzanina was taken away by the "ruthless" Alfred and set off to kindergarten.Clark flew back to the metropolis and landed in the parking lot of his apartment. Just as he was sitting in the driver's seat, the phone with the screen facing down on the table rang.

Clark turned on the Bluetooth, and Kate's voice sounded: "Where are you, have you passed the cross-sea bridge?"

"I just entered the city, what's the matter?" Clark paused for half a second: "Another case?"

"Hey," Kate on the other end of the phone sighed, "I sent investigation assistance requests to the police stations in various cities last night, but I didn't expect that the Gotham police station was the first to respond. The body was found in November last year. Female, aged 25 to 30, died of craniocerebral injury combined with strangulation, the body was found at the scrapped car processing plant in Gotham, only three days after the deceased died."

"I parked the car downstairs in my apartment," Clark said, "Come and pick me up in your car, how long will it take you?"

"Two or ten minutes if there is no traffic jam." Kate replied, "You can wait for me in the parking lot."

Clark was sitting in the driver's seat, fiddled with the phone, he clicked on the encrypted team channel of the Justice League, his channel team chat was set to mute - it goes without saying whoever thinks it is noisy.

Clark felt the phone vibrate a dozen times in a row, and "Talk Tuber" Shining sent a dozen messages in the group:

Flash: [Is there anyone who got up to go to work? 】

Flash: [Hey, I worked overtime all night, and there was another case in the morning! 】

……

Flash: [Pretty sister? 】

Flash: [Are you chatting at work? 】

The Flash: [Meringue, meringue, are you up? 】

Flash: [Bat and Green Arrow must have not gotten up, meringue should get up and go to work. 】

Green Arrow: [Thank you for the invitation, I'm getting up. 】

Flash: [You actually woke up!Has your investigation progressed? 】

Flash: [Don't tell me, Batman is also online? 】

Superman: [He really hasn't woken up yet, last night he patrolled until four o'clock in the morning. 】

Green Arrow: [Yes, I'm on my way to Gotham. 】

Flash: [Hello, is anyone still there? 】

Wonder Woman: [You really talk a lot, Winky. 】

Flash: 【I don't talk a lot, I just type very fast, it seems that I talk a lot.Girl, girl, are you going to work too? 】

Wonder Woman: [Eating breakfast. 】

Shazam: [Go to school today. 】

Superman: [Thank you for the invitation, on the way to work. 】

……

Flash: [Muffle, so you are in this group, I always thought you blocked the group! 】

Superman: [No blocking, I just found out that this group has been muted. 】

The group was silent for about ten seconds.

An emoticon package popped up in the group, which was sent by Aquaman.

Batman slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the camera, and a gif with the words "You are noisy" popped up under the picture.

Flash: [Poof. 】

Green Lantern: [puff puff]

The Flash: Wronged Baba jpg.

Flash: [We just chatted for a while when Bat wasn't online, so why are you so noisy! 】

Wonder Woman: [To be honest, I also mute the group when I restore oil paintings. 】

Flash: dead gif.

Flash: [Hey, the DNA sample is here, let's stop talking. 】

Clark listened to the sound of the SUV driving into the parking lot from far to near, and Kate's heartbeat was getting closer and closer to him. Clark moved his finger on the screen to send a message.

Superman: [Stop talking, my work partner is here. 】

Clark put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, opened the passenger door, and sat in. Clark glanced at the small black bag in the trunk—it was Kate’s portable luggage bag. He asked, "Why, what are you going to do?" Staying in Gotham tonight?"

Kate nodded and said, "This case is different from the previous two cases. The victim has a tattoo on his body. I want to check this clue. Maybe I can find out the identity of the victim?"

"What about the BAU?" Clark asked.

Kate replied while turning the car: "I have already sent the information, but this is not an immediate case. I heard that there was a child kidnapping case in Texas, so..." Kate sighed: "Even if they want to come, they have to solve the case at hand before they come."

Kate drove all the way into the Gotham Police Station, and Gordon was waiting for them at the door, but thanks to Batman, he is now Deputy Commissioner Gordon, Kate parked the car, and Deputy Commissioner Gordon held After a dozen documents, he greeted: "Good morning, Agent Callaghan, Dr. Kent." He handed the documents in his hand to Kate.

Kate took it and was not polite. Gordon continued: "This is the victim's autopsy report and the basic information of the victim we investigated. The victim's body is in the morgue. Please come with me."

The two followed Gordon, and the three went straight to the police morgue, entered the morgue, Gordon opened the freezer, Kate opened the folder, and Kate turned to the page with the tattoo in the folder Clark, wearing gloves, examines the tattooed on the back of the victim's left hand, which shows a hyena's head with a rose on its back.

Kate read the police investigation records in the folder. After the incident, they found clues that the victim had been active in the Hyena Bar. Kate read the investigation records in the file. She stared at Gordon and asked prudently: "Are you all The bar was found and it was confirmed that the victim had been active in the bar, but the identity of the victim was not found?"

Deputy Director Gordon watched Clark close the drawer of the freezer, and he said helplessly, "Agent Callahan, this is Gotham, investigating the situation in the bar, sometimes the identity of the police is not very useful." With a little hint, he said: "After all, these shops that are involved behind the scenes don't want to be targeted. In order to avoid trouble, they simply don't say anything."

Kate hugged the folder, and she asked: "There is something behind it? What do you mean? Who is watching?"

Deputy Director Gordon glanced at Clark. He saw Clark's pensive look and said, "It seems that Dr. Kent understands what I mean." He tried to smile and said, "Sometimes I find it a bit ironic. , The deterrent force of the police in this city is not as good as that of a masked vigilante, and these people who do this kind of business are more strict with the police than anything else.”

After Deputy Director Gordon finished speaking, he nodded and turned to leave.

Kate watched Gordon's back disappear at the door of the mortuary, and after a while, she said: "Deputy Director Gordon means that the Hyena Bar has something to do with Gotham's local gangsters, and these people don't want to be killed by Batman." Focus?" Clark nodded, and Kate said: "Why do I think that Deputy Director Gordon's implication is that if we want to go to the Hyena Bar to investigate, it is best to conceal the identity of the FBI?"

Clark nodded again.

Kate looked at Clark, and the detective with a master's degree in criminal psychology said, "You live in the wealthy area of ​​Gotham. I thought you didn't know much about Gotham."

Clark patted Kate on the shoulder and said, "You may not know that in the city of Gotham, the richer and more powerful people are the people who know the crimes of Gotham best..."

"Bruce funded Batman's knowledge?"

"Batman is a variable in Gotham," Clark said. "And the rich and powerful people in Gotham, if they don't understand the hidden forces of Gotham, it's good to lose their reputation, and the fear is that their families will be destroyed."

Kate flipped through the folder in her hand, and said after a long time: "So we have to pretend to be guests at the bar."

Clark scratched his chin, feeling a little hesitant.

"Have you heard of this bar?" Clark nodded. Kate looked at Clark's expression, flipped through the information in her hand, and recalled what Deputy Director Gordon said just now. Kate licked her dry lips and asked: " Is the business of this hyena bar a special service?"

Clark shook his head and said: "This bar is still selling alcohol. On the surface, it is an ordinary bar. There are special private rooms inside. The price is very expensive. It is said that it is very expensive in the bar. It’s hard to say in private if you have an illegal business.” Clark paused, and added: “Men and women are not taboo.”

Agent Callahan put his arms around Clark's shoulders, with a look of surprise on his face, she lowered her voice and asked, "Don't tell me, Clark, are you going to grow up in the world?"

Clark glared at Kate, who was watching the excitement, and cleared his throat: "Indeed...be there."

Kate was very curious. Just as she blinked and wanted to ask, Clark said, "Do you want to ask me if Bruce knows?"

Kate nodded.

"He took me there." Clark added quickly: "I didn't reach the last step, just to let me not be like a young chicken who hasn't eaten meat when I face Yingying Yanyan."
