The person on the other end of the phone was Mr. Alfred, Bruce Wayne's old housekeeper.Emily felt uneasy, wondering if Batman Bruce Wayne would help her.

After all, in the three previous meetings with Batman, one was to save face in public, one was to directly pick off his vest, and the last time was to apologize to him.Judging from the few acquaintances, it can't be called a harmonious relationship.

The old butler had a gentle voice, asking Emily to wait a moment.

During the few seconds she waited for Batman to answer the phone, Emily felt nervous.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the phone was low and pleasant, with a sense of fatigue.

"...Mr. Wayne." Emily settled down.Now is not the time to care about her thick skin, Linda's safety is more important.Even if I bite the bullet and beg today, I have to ask Batman to help me with this. "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Wayne. But I have something very important to ask, and I would like to ask you for a favor."

Bruce Wayne was also a little surprised when he received the call, "Miss Emily, what's the matter with you? It's Mr. Stark..." When Iron Man's assistant approached him, Bruce's first reaction was the Avengers Alliance something.

"No, it's not. It's none of Mr. Stark's business. Today is my own private matter." Naturally, this kind of favor cannot be owed by my boss, "It's like this. I wonder if you know about the fan novel that appeared in New York recently. A fan murder case?" Wanting Batman Bruce Wayne to rush from Gotham to Manhattan, New York to save people at night, Emily naturally had to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly to others, "My friends and I were killed Involved, now I am safe in London. But my friend is still in Manhattan, according to the FBI agent handling the case, she is likely to be in danger. There is nothing I can do now, so I want you to do me this favor .” Emily was not sure if the other party would believe her.

"The case in New York is very big, of course I know." Bruce Wayne had pulled out the information of that case while Emily was speaking, "With all due respect, Miss Emily, the details I got In terms of circumstances, your friend Linda White—has been reported missing by her agent today?" Could it be that Iron Man's little assistant wants to help himself as a policeman?

"Ah, no... her", Emily weighed in her heart, hesitating whether to tell Linda's secret.But now, if I don't tell the whole story, I'm afraid Batman won't help, "My friend is not missing, she is hiding by herself. She called just now, I am afraid that the phone call will reveal her whereabouts, That's why I am in a hurry to ask for your help, please help me find her and protect her first."

"Miss Emily, since it's such an important matter... why don't you ask Mr. Stark? As far as I know, you two have a good friendship." The leader of the Justice League is naturally not so easy to handle.

"Because..." Emily guessed that the Avengers must be busy with something important at the moment, but this kind of thing cannot be said to Batman of the Justice League, "The only person I can think of now is you, Mr. Wayne. Linda now The situation is very dangerous, please help me with this." Emily's eyes were red with anxiety.The matter of the reunion must not be disclosed to outsiders. She herself is not fully sure to persuade Batman Bruce Wayne to help, and Linda is in danger at this moment.

"Miss Emily, you have to know that you can't hide something when you ask for help." As one of the leaders of the Justice League, Bruce Wayne certainly knows what the Avengers are busy at the moment.He listened to the trembling voice of Iron Man's assistant on the other end of the phone pleading repeatedly, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

The first time Bruce Wayne saw the assistant lady, he was just surprised by her age and appearance.After all, Iron Man Tony Stark is well known for his taste in women.The underage girl, who is more than exquisite and beautiful but obviously not sexy enough, can actually serve as Stark's assistant, and she has excellent ability.But the impression doesn't stop there.

It was at a banquet at his Manhattan villa that really made Bruce Wayne face up to Emily.

At that time, when the news of the clown's change came, Bruce received another message-the clown's actions this time may be related to Hydra.

The Justice League and the Avengers are both superhero organizations.Although they are located in different regions, there is little cooperation at ordinary times.But occasionally, for example, this kind of information exchange work has been carried out several times.In particular, the Wayne Group under the name of Bruce Wayne and the Stark Industries of Iron Man Tony Stark have always cooperated, and Bruce and Mr. Stark are also familiar with each other.

That night, in the name of holding a banquet, Bruce invited Iron Man Tony Stark.

Of course, the name must be open to the public—to celebrate Wayne Group's opening up of the African market.That night, guests gathered at Bruce Wayne's banquet.

However, Bruce believed that if the real purpose of the banquet was to celebrate the Nth cooperation between the Justice League and the Avengers, there would definitely be more people present that night.

Tony Stark continued his usual style.The flamboyant red supercar arrived at the end to show his uniqueness.

But when Bruce greeted him in accordance with the etiquette of being the host, he found that the dance partner brought by Iron Man Tony Stark this time did not conform to the other party's usual style.

The little girl looked at the petite little one, and her posture was stiff when she moved. It was obvious that she was injured the day before.The Iron Man Tony Stark, who has always been flamboyant and disregarded others, not only patiently waited for the other party to get off the car slowly, but also took care of his little girlfriend during his actions.

Bruce went up to meet him, exchanged greetings and led the people in, but something happened.

Batman is Gotham City's vigilante, the guardian of darkness.But Bruce Wayne is a playboy.

In terms of attitude towards women, compared with Iron Man Tony Stark, Bruce thinks that it is even worse.

Therefore, Bruce, who only chose the face and figure for his female companion this time, did not expect that the two female companions he found this time mocked Iron Man Tony Stark as an arms dealer to his face.

Everyone knows that Iron Man Tony Stark is a former arms dealer, but not many people dare to say it face to face with such a mocking attitude.Bruce didn't expect that he randomly found two female companions according to the cover of the magazine, and in the end he picked such a brainless one.

The scene was awkward for a moment.

Just when Bruce was about to open his mouth, the assistant lady who had been obediently following Stark's side without making a sound spoke directly, pushed the brainless female model back, and even promoted her boss by the way. , Run on Bruce, the host of the banquet who has found two female companions.

Afterwards, the successful assistant let go of her boss and went to find a place to eat.

At that time, Bruce felt that the other party was an assistant hired by Stark. Even though he looked cute and quiet, he was really not easy to mess with.

Later, the clown blew up Miss Assistant's house. In front of everyone in the Avengers and Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., the enraged Miss Assistant stopped him mercilessly and asked him to catch the Joker.

Bruce Wayne was a little embarrassed when he was unmasked in public, but as Batman, he didn't blame Emily.

But later, the other party followed Iron Man Tony Stark to Gotham to apologize to him.

Bruce Wayne has been through a lot since he chose to serve justice as Batman.He is not afraid of others' criticism of himself, and is willing to bear the notoriety.In his heart, Bruce Wayne is just a carrier of Batman, as long as he can give the citizens of Gotham a bright future, he never minds what he will do.

Not that no one blamed the Joker for his evil deeds.

It's not that no one said that maybe those villains wouldn't be eyeing Gotham without Batman.

But the assistant was the first one to stand in front of him and sincerely apologize to him, her eyes were red because of just a bad attitude.

Bruce had received a call from Stark before Stark and his party came to visit.The purpose of Stark's visit is very simple. Firstly, it is about the finishing work of the clown incident, and secondly, Stark hopes that Bruce can meet the assistant.The original words were - "That silly girl didn't even dare to raise her head recently, so you should just meet her."

Bruce knew that Stark wanted to help his little assistant get rid of the knot.The method is also very simple, as long as Bruce says that he doesn't care about the attitude of the assistant lady that day.

It wasn't a big deal at first, so Bruce agreed.

But no one expected that the purpose of Miss Assistant's own visit was completely different from what his boss expected-she didn't need Batman Bruce Wayne's forgiveness, she just wanted to apologize.

The girl with sincere eyes apologized sincerely, and Bruce had no reason not to forgive her—in the final analysis, the little assistant didn't do anything excessive at all.

Afterwards, the little girl who was led out to eat cake by Alfred sent back a candid photo of Batman beating someone.

At that time, Tony Stark, who stayed in the living room, was very nervous and showed Bruce how smart and capable his assistant was.

Later, when the group was about to leave, Bruce gave the assistant a large check—the reason why the clown did evil in New York was to attract Batman to appear, and the assistant’s home was blown up. Bruce felt that it would be good for him to give some compensation As it should be.

But the other party pushed the check back.

"I have no position to accept your check." The little girl's eyes were bright, and Bruce could almost see the sincerity of the other party through her eyes.

Later, except that Bruce gave Emily a Christmas present through Alfred at Christmas, the two never met again.

Until now.

"Mr. Wayne?" The other party suddenly stopped talking, and Emily panicked.

Could it be that Batman won't help?

"I'm here, you said." Bruce, who was a little dazed for a moment, pulled his thoughts back.

"Linda...is an Inhuman race." At this point, keeping Linda's life is the most important thing, Emily can't care less about keeping a secret, "I don't know about her ability, but she should be able to control others for a while", Linda helped Emily send out the Moriarty's criminal evidence collected by Emily at the risk of being discovered.Otherwise, even if Emily designed a plan, it would be difficult for her to implement it under Moriarty's supervision, "But her ability is not strong, so even if she can delay for a while, it will be difficult to protect herself." Since Linda Escape, then Emily is convinced that no matter who commits the crime, the other party must be very powerful, "Mr. Wayne, Linda is now near the No.15 block in Manhattan. I believe you must have a way to find out the exact location." If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have rushed to you, please help me."

With all the secrets out, Emily can only hope that Batman Bruce Wayne will help.

"Okay, wait for my message." Fortunately, the person on the other end of the phone agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Emily stood by the window, too upset to even sit down.

Can Batman really get to Linda in time before the bad guys?

She dare not confirm.

"Sit down." Sherlock really hoped that Emily could find a reliable candidate by herself, but he never expected that the other party would find Batman Bruce Wayne. "If Batman can't save Linda White, you can't stand me for a year. Sit down and tell me what happened to the 'doctor.'"

"How do you know..." Emily didn't mention Batman just now, "Forget it." There is nothing in this world that the great detective Sherlock Holmes doesn't know.

Dr. Watson, who was watching quietly, wrote down Batman's surname Wayne excitedly.

"Sit down, and tell me about seeing that doctor." Sherlock sat on his exclusive single sofa, resting his chin with his hands again, "Instead of rushing like a headless chicken, why don't you tell me Said the doctor in Linda White's mouth."

Emily, who was anxious inside, really couldn't sit still, but she also knew that she couldn't help at the moment.Instead of being anxious, it is better to provide clues to the great detective Sherlock, and maybe it will also help Linda.

"The doctor Linda mentioned was a psychiatrist before her." Really unable to sit down, Emily simply walked behind the sofa and put her hands on the back of the sofa. "Linda saw a psychiatrist last year, and what she just said was..."

"Sit down." Sherlock didn't like people standing in front of him and talking, "Sit down first and then talk."

Emily suppressed her anxiety and sat on the sofa.

"Emily, calm down, your friend will be fine." The gentle Dr. Watson comforted, "Calm down first, and then talk to Sherlock. If he can help you find clues, maybe Things will be resolved a little faster, won't they?" After being with Sherlock for a long time, Watson has encountered many clients who were in a hurry because of nervousness and even spoke incoherently. Looks pretty good.

"Hmm." Resisting the urge to stand up again, Emily took a deep breath, trying to recall the situation of the doctor Linda was talking about.

"Yes...it's Dr. Hannibal Lecter. It must be him." Apart from the other party, Emily couldn't think of who else Linda was talking about.

"Doctor? Whose doctor is it?" Watson saw that Sherlock had no intention of speaking, and asked instead of him.

"It's Linda's psychiatrist." Emily was very impressed with Dr. Lecter.

"Last year, Linda was not in good condition, so we checked the clinic online. Dr. Lecter's grades were very good. Many people said he was very good, so I made an appointment for Linda. I hope he can help Linda take a look." Looking back now, Emily just thinks it's a miracle that she and her good friend Linda are still alive.

You know that Dr. Hannibal Lecter is an ogre.

Have you seen the movie "The Silence of the Lambs"?Have you seen the American TV series "Hannibal"?

Emily hadn't seen it in her previous life because she was timid, but this didn't prevent her from knowing the name of this terrifying ogre.

"A psychiatrist? Emily, why does Linda need a psychiatrist?" Watson was often responsible for asking questions on behalf of Sherlock, so that the other party could concentrate on thinking and observing.

"I..." There is really no need to hide the matter now, but I really didn't expect that Dr. Watson, who has always been gentle, would actually ask this question, "Linda has been very depressed for a while, she doesn't like to talk, and she doesn't want to see her. People. I thought she was not in the right condition, so I helped her find a psychiatrist." Emily felt that her behavior at that time could be described in one word - owe!Two words are - too owed!If she didn't decide to find some psychiatrist, how could the two of them meet that perverted ogre?

"Emily?" Emily didn't answer the question directly, so Watson could only continue to ask.

"It was... the time after her manager died." Although Emily didn't ask, she was sure that Linda must have killed her. "Linda's condition is really bad, you know she is Model, but she gained 5kg in a week during that time!" This would have ruined a career for a model, "I was worried, so I found the doctor online. Then she went to see After a few times, it really worked!" Emily still remembers that she and Linda privately praised Dr. Clayt not only for his good looks, but also for his professionalism, making him the perfect candidate for Prince Charming.

"You said that Linda was in a bad state after the death of her agent, so you took her to the psychiatrist named Hannibal Lecter." Watson could already hear that Emily didn't say anything. It means that after Linda killed someone, the huge psychological and spiritual pressure was difficult to adjust, so she was dragged to see a doctor.

"Well... that's right."

"Go on." Sherlock interrupted.

"At first, Dr. Hannibal Lecter didn't accept our appointment." Emily remembered a detail, "It wasn't until I took Linda to his clinic that he agreed to see Linda. And he gave us a big discount." Hannibal Lecter was well-known outside the world, so the consultation fee was naturally high.The other party offered to reduce the exemption, and Emily was very happy at that time. "The appointment frequency at the beginning was three times a week. Linda's condition improved after the first visit. After a week, her condition improved a lot." Both of them were very happy at that time.

"And then?" Watson continued to ask.

"Huh..." Emily continued after exhaling, "Because Linda's condition has improved a lot, she doesn't plan to go again. After all, even if the fee is reduced, the consultation fee of the psychiatrist is not cheap. But That doctor Lecter personally told Linda that because of her special situation, he could help her for free. Both Linda and I thought the doctor was a good person, and we were very touched at the time.” Thinking about it now, it’s really stupid.

"What happened next?" Watson continued.

"Afterwards, because Dr. Lecter promised not to charge money, Linda continued to see him. But we felt sorry, so sometimes Linda and I would go to the clinic to help out when we were free, just printing documents or working at the front desk. When the lady is busy, she helps to receive patients and so on. Within a few days, the lady at the front desk said that their clinic just wanted to hire hourly workers, so Linda and I simply stayed." I worked part-time in the ogre's clinic, and Ai Mi Li felt that this life was really not in vain.

"What happened next?" The story sounded like a story of a well-meaning psychiatrist helping students for free, but Watson knew that things were definitely not that simple.

"Later..." Emily shuddered when she thought of what happened next. "Later, after working in that clinic for half a month, I began to feel that something was wrong with Dr. Lecter." Now that I think about it, thanks to Emily's keenness, otherwise she and Linda would have been skinned and eaten long ago "I first found out...a girl who always came to see Dr. Lecter suddenly stopped showing up." It was a girl who worked in an art gallery. She was beautiful, easy-going, and knew a lot Knowledge of art appreciation.While waiting for the doctor’s visit, Emily chatted with the other party, and they hit it off, “Obviously, I made an appointment with Linda and me to bring tickets to the art exhibition for me and Linda, but Claire never showed up again. " Emily is naturally not distressed about the ticket, she is afraid that the other party will not think about it for a while and do something stupid, "I heard from Claire herself that she came to see the doctor because her fiancé died suddenly and unexpectedly. She didn't show up suddenly, I was afraid of her There was an accident, so I asked Dr. Lecter, but the answer I got was that she suddenly missed the appointment, and the doctor said he didn't know what happened."

"That doesn't sound like anything?" Watson didn't understand why Emily's face suddenly turned pale when she said this.

"No, you didn't see the eyes of the doctor at that time..." Emily will never forget those eyes. It's the kind of person who is very calm and people will trust unconsciously, but when he talks about Claire... his eyes are so cold that it scares me." Naturally, the cannibal doctor who is good at disguising will not easily show his flaws.If it wasn't for Emily's unusually keen observation, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Later, I took advantage of the address registered on the document after school one day to look for it, but the neighbor said that Claire was missing. The time of disappearance was the day after she suddenly didn't come to see a doctor."

"And then?" Watson asked curiously.

"Then..." Emily will never forget that scene, "Then I suspected that Dr. Lecter had something to do with Claire's disappearance, so I quietly found his home while the doctor was at work..."

"What did you find?" Watson didn't expect Emily to be so courageous.

"The doctor lives in a very private villa area. After I sneaked in, I found Claire's earrings in a flowerpot placed at the door of his house." A small rhinestone earring looks very beautiful. "And then I..."

"Then what?" Sherlock finally asked curiously.

"Then I... saw half of Claire's body..." After a long time, just thinking of the scene at that time, Emily still couldn't help but want to vomit.

"My God." Dr. Watson exclaimed next to his ear.
