As the saying goes, no one speaks behind anyone's back, and no one speaks behind it, but the feeling of being caught on the spot talking about behind the scenes is really terrible.

Emily and her little friend Adams looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong?" Lillian Granger laughed, "Did I scare you?"

Compared to Adams who hadn't recovered yet, Emily was more reliable. "No, it's not, Miss Granger." With a smile on her face, Emily looked at the female writer sitting in front of her without any trace.She was wearing a well-tailored dress and visibly done-up hair, a delicate necklace around her neck and jewelry on her wrists—clearly not the casual look for a coffee shop. "Nice to meet you, we were just...discussing a TV series." How could a great writer who lives in Washington appear in a coffee shop in Gotham?

"Well...but I heard you talking about the disappearance case and the police station." The female writer is not so easy to fool, "Isn't it?" Granger chose Adams as a breakthrough.

"Ah...we..." In the face of beauty, the pig teammate Adams betrayed the revolution, "I'm talking about this..." The primary school girl's eyes are so scary. "Miss Granger, Emily and I like your book very much. If you don't mind, can you sign it for us?" Adams took out a notebook from his bag, and changed the subject thoughtfully.

Emily finally understands what it means to have too many mouths.

The little friend Adams not only said his name in one sentence, but also directly gave him the reason to continue to stay.

Emily, who could only agree with a smile and said that she also wanted to sign, secretly took out her mobile phone to check online when the female writer bowed her head to sign.

Because of the tragedy around Christmas, the novel "drop (water drop)" can be said to be a hit again.Although the writer Lillian Granger herself was arraigned by the BFI because her novel involved a murder case, this not only did not affect the popularity of the novel again, but added a touch of mystery to this already well-known female writer.

There is no news on the Internet that the great writer Lillian Granger has been active in Gotham recently.

Then why did this female writer appear here in all her costumes, and the time happened to be the same time when Gotham University also disappeared?

After politely thanking her and accepting the autograph, Emily put away her doubts, tried to change the subject and then quickly got away.

But the female writer did not give her this chance. "I gave you a shock just now." Lillian Granger beckoned the waiter to bring another cup of coffee. "I didn't mean to scare you, it's just recently..." The female writer lowered her head slightly and made a embarrassed expression.

No matter what Adams thought next to her, Emily felt that she could vaguely see the shadow of Irene in this female writer—it was just a gesture of bowing her head, and the other party could actually be so provocative.

"We didn't mean to offend you." Emily was not interested in knowing Lillian Grand's difficulties, and she didn't want to have anything to do with that horrible murder case.Regardless of whether the murder in Gotham was a copycat or Adams was thinking too much, Emily was not interested in knowing the details. "We are very sorry that such a thing happened. It is not your fault. And now the criminals have been caught. In fact, we are all looking forward to your next work." I have been with Iron Man for a long time, On the scene, Emily said more and more slippery, "Thank you for your signature too, we will treasure it." The next step is for us to go back to our respective homes.

"Actually... I was called by Chief Gordon of the Gotham Police Department today." The female writer seemed to not understand what Emily said at all. "These missing cases at Gotham University... have been preliminarily confirmed by the police and are related to the previous cases. It's just that it's still not sure whether someone slipped through the net or committed a copycat crime." Lillian Granger's voice was full of helplessness.

Why are you breaking the news?

Emily can't understand the brain circuit of a female writer.

"This matter will naturally be investigated by the Gotham Police, so you don't have to worry too much. I believe the truth will come out soon." With a decent smile and sincere eyes, Emily felt that she could apply for the Gotham Police Department press spokesman.

"Haha...ha", unexpectedly, Lillian Granger laughed at this moment. "You are exactly what she said..." The female writer who raised her head didn't have any embarrassing expression on her face, "You're so cute..." She got up and walked to Emily, Granger sat down directly Emily's side. "The way you lie is really..." A hand has already touched Emily's cheek, "You obviously don't care about other people's feelings, but you can still act like you care... The way you lie is so cute... "

Adams was stunned by this unexpected development.

#Look, someone is molesting a primary school girl! #

Emily had a bad feeling about the female writer's behavior and tone, "Who?" Could it be Irene I just met?

"You know who I'm talking about." The female writer, who was taller than Emily even when she was sitting, leaned down and leaned into Emily's ear, "You just saw her, didn't you?" The warm air After rubbing her ears, Emily was sure that this woman must have something to do with the mysterious Irene.

"Miss Granger?" Just as Adams was hesitating whether he should go up and pull the great writer away, a deep male voice came, breaking the confrontation between Emily and Granger.

"Mr. Wayne?"

"Hi, Bruce."

Another uninvited person turned out to be Batman Bruce Wayne.

"Good afternoon, ladies." Bruce Wayne in trousers and shirts stood aside with a teasing smile on his face, "Did I miss something?"

Emily had never actually met "Rubus Wayne" except at the previous banquet.Now the other party is clearly dressed as a business elite in a suit, shirt and tie, but there is a playboy temperament everywhere, which makes her stunned.

#Oscar owes Batman a statuette#

"You are so late." The female writer sat up straight and motioned for Bruce Wayne to sit opposite her. "I already had a cup of coffee with them." Compared with the teasing with Emily just now, now Li Lynn Granger was the one with full firepower—the target was Bruce Wayne who had already sat down, "Say, you're so late for coming, how should you be punished?"

Emily finally knew the reason why the great writer appeared in a humble Gotham coffee shop in costume-she was actually dating Batman Bruce Wayne.

Glancing at each other with his little friend Adams, the two agreed to withdraw quickly - it would be too embarrassing to stay here as a light bulb.

The seats that can be selected for two are booths in the corner of the coffee shop, with one side against the wall.Batman Bruce Wayne and writer Lillian Granger, who had already sat down, blocked Adams and Emily's way out respectively.

"Speaking of... do Bruce and Emily know each other?" The female writer didn't seem to notice Emily's gesture to let her move, "I just heard her call you."

Did you check your account?Watch out for Batman getting you into the Gotham Police Department and let someone find out why you have something to do with that Irene!

Emily stood up with her bag and quietly rolled her eyes when Lillian Granger couldn't notice.

"Hey...Miss Emily and I have an appointment...to have dinner together." It was obviously just stating the facts, but having dinner with "Bruce Wayne" itself was not ordinary.

At least my friend Adams can open his mouth enough to swallow an egg at this time.

"...Yes." Emily, who was originally a fan of Granger's books, has completely turned dark at this time, "Can you let me go?" Since the female writer can talk to Irene, Mycroft's subordinate, If they have a relationship, it means that their encounter in the coffee shop this time is by no means accidental.Whatever the purpose of Lillian Granger's visit to Gotham, hook hunting is certainly not the most important one.Emily doesn't know if Batman has lost his vest, and she doesn't know whether he has anything to do with the disappearance in Gotham, but she knows that Lillian Granger's actions must be related to Irene who appeared before.

"Don't be so indifferent, Bruce rejected me just to have dinner with you." The female writer obviously didn't know what it meant to accept as soon as she was good. "Could it be that Iron Man...will have any cooperation with the Wayne Group in the near future?"

"No, it's just that I asked Miss Emily to have a meal." Batman Bruce Wayne took the conversation for some reason, "If you don't mind, we can come together."

No, I don't mind!I don't want to invite her to dinner!

Emily, who was dizzy by this inexplicable development, really didn't understand. Didn't she just come to Gotham to treat Batman to a meal?How did things get to this point?

"How about... Let's go another day?" Emily was not interested in watching Bruce Wayne having dinner with a female writer with a dark heart.

"Why are you so indifferent?" The female writer Lillian Granger galloped on the road to death, "You really have a bad temper as she said." She looked at Ai Millie's pocket.

That spot happened to be where Emily put the black business card from before.

"Miss Granger." Emily, who was annoyed by the other party's repeated provocations, slapped the other's hand that came up again, "I'm pretty sure we didn't know each other before, whether you I can tell you for whatever reason you came to me, you are looking for the wrong person.” Taking a deep breath, Emily suppressed her anger, “If you really want to know about the disappearance case in Gotham If you have any clues, please go to the police, I am not interested in dealing with you, now, leave." Since the other party refused to let her leave, Emily simply asked the female writer to leave.

"What a bad-tempered little girl." Lillian Granger didn't seem to be affected by Emily's harsh tone at all, "Okay, then I won't disturb your date." The female writer stood up and took I took off the bag and really left without looking back.

"This..." Adams sat on his seat with a broken expression on his face, "What's going on?" There was too much information, and he couldn't handle it.

After that, Emily left Adams very unscrupulously, and chose to leave with Batman Bruce Wayne.

"Are you hungry? Why don't we go eat now?" It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's also appropriate to have lunch now.

"Okay, let's do it now." Emily didn't know what medicine was sold in Batman's gourd.Gotham can almost be said to be the base camp of Batman Bruce Wayne, and she believes that any disturbance here will never be hidden from the other party's eyes.But what happened to the female writer?

Bruce naturally saw Emily's confusion, but he didn't intend to explain it now. "Let's go eat then." Batman gestured for Emily to get into his car.

But Emily also drove here today, and she originally planned to drive home directly after eating.If you leave the car here now, wouldn't you have to come back to get the car later? "Or else I..."

"boom".

The huge impact caused pedestrians to look up to check the source of the sound, and cars on the side of the road also sounded their sirens.

A dead body just happened to land on top of a red car less than five meters away from Bruce Wayne.

Passers-by who saw the situation clearly screamed.

Because the distance was very close, even if Emily didn't want to look at it, she could immediately see that the fallen body was none other than the female writer Lillian Granger who was talking with them just now.

The meal plan was interrupted by this sudden accident. After a day trip to Scotland Yard, Emily enjoyed a day trip to Gotham Police Station.

#No, my heart is so tired#

No matter how many times, Emily can't accept the scene of someone dying in front of her.Sitting in a chair in the Gotham Police Department, she bit her finger, waiting for Bruce Wayne's lawyer to negotiate with the police.

Because the deceased, Lillian Granger, was a world-renowned writer, and she fell directly on the street in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, the news of the other party's death could not be concealed at all.In addition, the richest man in Gotham, Bruce Wayne, was among the people present at the time. The current situation is that almost all the famous media in the United States have gone to Gotham.

At this time, the gate of the Gotham Police Station was surrounded by various media outlets, and all kinds of long and short cannons were firmly placed at the gate. As the name suggests, even a flying fly could not escape their eyes.

Because Emily and Bruce Wayne were the last witnesses to see the deceased, and Emily had a dispute with the deceased, so the police who arrived at the scene brought them back, and now Bruce Wayne Eun's lawyer is negotiating and hopes to end the inquiry immediately.

"Okay?" Batman is the patron saint of Gotham, but Bruce Wayne is just Gotham's famous billionaire and playboy.Even if Director Gordon knew Bruce's identity, he could only follow the rules now.So even now that it's been an hour since it happened, Bruce still can't get Emily out. "Would you like some water?" Iron Man's assistant's face was so ugly that Bruce was almost worried that the other party would faint from the pressure.

Shaking her head, Emily didn't take the water glass that Batman handed over, "When can we leave?" The murder in London was one of the scariest scenes in Emily's life.She had thought that with Hannibal Lecter's death, her nightmare would end.But now Lillian Granger's accident made her confirm that things were far from as simple as she thought.

There must have been fish that slipped through the net.And it's a big fish.

"Wait a little longer, it's coming soon." Bruce forced the cup into Emily's hand, "Drink some water." The little girl was about to bite her fingers. "Don't worry, you'll be home right away, I promise." Seeing Emily's pale face without saying a word, Bruce felt guilty.

The appearance of Lillian Granger today was arranged by him, or he acquiesced.

Bruce Wayne is clear about the murders of fanatical fans in New York and London after Christmas, not to mention that he helped Emily save a girl.It was only later that the FBI in the United States and Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom jointly solved the case and arrested all the suspects. Everyone thought that the matter had been settled and the case could be filed, but something happened in Gotham.

The cause was a mysterious disappearance of a girl from Gotham University.

The law and order in Gotham was chaotic, and the disappearance of a female student did not cause any waves in the local area. Except for the family of the missing person, this news was quickly forgotten by others and drowned in many other crimes in Gotham.

But in less than a week, another female student from Gotham University disappeared.

Just when Police Chief Gordon sent detectives to investigate the case, the No. 3 female student also disappeared.

In less than ten days, three girls from Gotham University disappeared one after another, and this case reached the ears of Batman Bruce Wayne.

But before the investigation was launched, the No.4 girl also disappeared.

In thirteen days, four Gotham University students disappeared, and all of them were girls around 20 years old. All of them had the same characteristics-black hair, green eyes.

Even in Gotham City, where law and order is chaotic, it is not normal for the same cases to occur frequently in such a short period of time.

After Batman Bruce Wayne took the information from Commissioner Gordon, he discovered that the case was inextricably linked to the previous fan murders in New York and London.

In order to investigate, Gordon, in his capacity as Gotham Police Chief, asked Lillian Granger, the author of the novel, to come to Gotham for questioning and cooperate with the investigation.After the other party came, they cooperated very much, but Batman sensitively noticed that the female writer was hiding something.

In order to test it out, Emily just called to say that they wanted to meet up. Bruce agreed to the invitation to eat, and at the same time called and invited the female writer Lillian Granger. It's impossible to be unaware of the lone survivor.

Bruce arranged everything to ensure that Iron Man's assistant would not be harmed, but unexpectedly, the person who had the accident became a female writer.

Sitting next to Emily, Bruce tried to get her to spit her fingers out of her mouth, "Do you want to eat something? I'll ask someone to buy it?" The girl sincerely thanked and apologized to him, but in the end he was used by him Not to mention, now I am frightened again.Bruce couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, "Don't be afraid, I have sent someone to take your friend home, and we can leave in a while." Bruce felt terrified when he looked at the fingers in Emily's mouth , He was really afraid that the little girl would bite through it, "Don't bite it yet." He simply stretched out his hand to grab Emily.

"I'm fine." Now it's not so much that Emily is afraid because of seeing the scene of Lillian Granger's death, it's better to say that she is anxious because she thinks of the deep meaning behind the female writer's death, "I'm fine, don't worry " Taking out a finger with a tooth mark, Emily took a sip of water, "I'm just...not used to this kind of..." Taking a deep breath, Emily finally asked her doubts She said, "You arranged Lillian Granger's appearance today." Besides, Emily couldn't think of how the female author could appear in the coffee shop by such a coincidence.

"Yes." Bruce never thought that this matter could be hidden from the clever little girl. "I'm sorry for frightening you."

"Is it related to the disappearance case in Gotham?" Drinking water couldn't relieve Emily's anxious mood. She looked out through the glass at the Wayne Group lawyer who was arguing with the Gotham police, trying to divert her attention from "the previous New York case." Anyone else slipping through the net?" Emily saw what seemed to be happening at the gate of the police station, and a policeman was heading towards the gate.

"It's very possible." Bruce also noticed the commotion outside.

"Lillian Granger was also implicated in the previous case? Do you suspect that she is one of the murderers?" The seemingly innocent writer was involved in the murder case. Emily could hardly believe that the BAU who investigated the case before Will miss such a big clue.

"It's possible." Bruce almost applauded Emily's quick thinking, "I just found some clues, and she died in the end."

"Kill to kill." Putting down the cup, Emily covered her eyes with her hands, "But obviously Hannibal Lecter is dead, who else would it be?"

The door of the office exclusively occupied by Emily and Bruce Wayne was pushed open at this moment.

"Look at your unlucky look."

The slightly familiar male voice revealed a hint of sarcasm.

"Sherlock?" Emily looked up and couldn't believe it. "Why are you here?" The detective's hometown is obviously in London, why did he appear in Gotham?

"Emily, it's only been a few hours, why are you causing trouble again?" Before the great detective Sherlock Holmes could answer Emily's question, Iron Man Tony Stark had already appeared with a group of people.He squeezed away the big detective standing by the door and walked into the room.

"Bruce, I handed over people to you, is that how you take care of them?"
