Under the leadership of Commissioner Gordon, the Gotham police acted quickly and brought people to the scene within 5 minutes of receiving the news.After careful investigation, the police finally found Robert who had been kidnapped in the former site of the Stark Wayne Joint Venture Bank.This thrilling kidnapping case ended with the successful rescue of the hostages—the mysterious man wearing a clown mask who kidnapped Robert and logged on to the dark web to contact Emily and others disappeared after the police arrived at the scene.

Regardless of what everyone else thought, Emily felt nothing but relief sitting in her chair at Gotham Hospital.In any case, Robert, who was implicated innocently, is safe and sound. This is the best news that can be obtained so far.You must know that the Gotham police found pre-buried explosives around Robert's building.

"In addition to multiple soft tissue contusions on the patient's body, the patient also has some symptoms of mild concussion. But it is not serious, you can go in." This hospital belongs to the Wayne Group, and the doctor who is helping Robert in front of him is also a special doctor from Batman. I found it. "But be careful not to stay too long, the patient needs to rest."

After thanking the doctor, Emily ignored Gotham Police Chief Gordon's expression of wanting to go in for questioning, and directly squeezed away the two police officers blocking the door, and entered the ward first.

Gordon, who was a step late, looked at Bruce Wayne standing beside him, and agreed with Emily's behavior after getting a head-shaking response from the other party.Iron Man Tony Stark and the great detective Sherlock Holmes walked in behind the girl.

"Robert?" When we met at the police station in the afternoon, Robert, a handsome guy from law school who still wore a suit and tie as a business elite, changed his previous image now.The blond hair is messy, and it seems to have been cut off by the nurse a few times; the left eye socket is swollen high, and there are bruises under the right eye; gauze.Leaning halfway on the hospital bed, Robert, the former law school handsome guy, is almost a different person from the past - he looks like an unlucky guy who has endured school violence.

"Robert?" Emily didn't expect Robert to be injured so badly when watching through the video. "Are you okay?" Well, that's bullshit, and it doesn't do anyone any good to be beaten like that.

But fortunately, the little brother Robert has a good temper. "Ai... hiss... Emily," probably because the corners of his mouth were hurt, Robert took a few breaths before he finished speaking, "I'm fine...it's fine...you...don't worry..." With intermittent words and a distressed look, the prospective lawyer's speech is very unconvincing.

"Okay, Emily, he's fine, don't worry." Stark couldn't understand Robert's performance.Claiming credit in front of the girl while being injured a little bit, and taking the opportunity to show your bravery, this kind of trick has long been outdated, okay? "Frank, right? Don't worry, your medical expenses will be borne by the Stark Group." I don't know whether Iron Man was unintentional or deliberate, and he called Robert's name by mistake again.

"Mr. Stark, it's Robert." Emily felt that her boss was a little naive, "Robert, take a good rest, and tell me what you need." After all, Robert was involved in this increasingly complicated case because of her. , Emily felt that she had an obligation to compensate the innocent little handsome guy from the law school who was implicated. "I will definitely do it."

"It's okay...it's okay", this kind of god-given opportunity is simply something that can't be met, how could Robert let it go. "I'm fine, Emily...you, you don't have to worry, I'm not seriously injured, not seriously." Probably his neck was also injured, Robert wanted to shake his head, but what Emily and others saw was his entire upper body Moved slightly from side to side.

"How did you get arrested?" The big detective Sherlock has been silent since entering the ward.He is watching Robert.Now that I have finished asking about seeing Emily, Sherlock started to ask. "Wouldn't it be that four-year-old kid who knocked you unconscious and tied you up in the car?" Sherlock's tone was normal, but Emily always felt that she heard something different in the words of the great detective.

"I'm Gordon, Chief of the Gotham Police Department." Seeing that the big detective from England was about to start questioning, Gordon, who came in later, hurried forward to introduce himself. "Mr. Black, can you tell us what happened?" Robert's full name is Robert Black. "Just tell us what you can think of." Gordon didn't intend to compete with Sherlock for the initiative, and he indicated that it was still up to the big detective to ask questions.

"What do you remember?" Sherlock asked bluntly.

"Well... I..." Robert had seen this unsmiling private detective in a black coat when he went to Baker Street to look for Emily. "I came out of the police station and wanted to go straight back to New York. Then the car didn't go far, when I was waiting for a red light on the road, I met a kid who said his balloon got stuck on the street light on the side of the road. , want me to help him take it down, I will get out of the car and help him." Probably because of studying law, Robert's narration is very clear, "Walking into a slightly secluded alley, I felt someone behind me Before I could look back and get a headache, I passed out, and before I passed out I saw two legs, black pants, and a car... a dark blue, dark blue SUV."

Emily, who had personally experienced being attacked from behind, felt that Robert was amazing. He was able to notice so many details in just a short time before he passed out.

Director Gordon has already noted this matter and ordered his subordinates to investigate the dark blue SVU that appeared near the crime scene today.

"And then? Did you see anything when you woke up in that room?" Sherlock stood facing Robert's hospital bed.

"Uh... When I woke up, hiss..., I was already in that room." When Robert spoke, he pulled the corner of his mouth again, blinking his eyes in pain.Emily poured a glass of water and placed it on the small table in front of him. "Thank you." After taking a sip, the prospective lawyer with a bruised nose continued. "At that time, I saw no one in the room, so I wanted to run. But they blocked me. No, that's how the injury came about." Robert pointed to Emily's panda eyes with great humor.

"They?" Commissioner Gordon ignored the iron man in New York's sneer at the victim, and grasped the point. "Mr. Black, are you saying that there is more than one kidnapper? Did you see the second one?" Regardless of the purpose of the person who planned the kidnapping, since the case happened in Gotham, the Gotham Police Department should be responsible for the investigation.

"Yes, two." Robert said with a very confirmed expression, "Both of them are wearing that kind of scary mask. They are both about 180 cm tall and very burly. Ah, the one who talked to you in the video later seems to be It's the mastermind, and I see another person has been listening to his arrangements."

Emily was not surprised by the news that there was more than one kidnapper.If you want to plan such a big case, how can you do it without manpower. "Then do you still remember when those two people left?" If we can catch the kidnapper this time, maybe we can open a breakthrough.

"Not long after contacting you." Robert looked at Emily, "At that time they said that the video was contacting you. Then not long after he hung up the video, the leader seemed to answer the phone, and then The two left in a hurry." Later, the Gotham police came.

"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation, Mr. Black. You can take a good rest." The big detective ignored Director Gordon's posture of continuing to ask, and left after speaking.

Emily looked at the big detective who was walking out quickly, and followed after hesitating for a while. "Robert, you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." Has Sherlock discovered anything?

Stark expressed his pleasure at Emily's clean and tidy attitude of leaving, "Okay, then I will go too." Iron Man also left.

Out of the door of the ward, Detective Sherlock was standing with Batman Bruce Wayne who hadn't entered yet.After Emily and Stark passed by, the local snake Batman immediately said that his butler, Mr. Alfred, had asked the driver to drive over, just enough to take everyone back to Wayne Manor.

There was no words all the way, but Emily couldn't help it after following the three men into the small living room door of Wayne Manor. "What did you find?" Is there anything you can't say in the hospital, but you have to go back to Batman's base camp?

"You didn't notice the problem?" Sherlock sat casually on the sofa, looking as if he was on Baker Street. "Emily, use your brain." The big detective took the teapot and filled it up slowly.

"You mean there is an insider in the Gotham Police Department?" Emily did notice this problem when listening to Robert's narration. "You suspect that the kidnappers were able to leave in time because someone in the police station tipped off the news? But if that's the case, you should warn that Commissioner Gordon and transfer Robert to a safe place." And even if there is really an insider in the police station , You don't have to go back to Wayne Manor to say it?

"Gordon already knows." Batman didn't walk into the ward just now, but that didn't prevent him from hearing what happened. "He has transferred your classmates to the safe house now, and we will deal with it after the ghost in the police station is found out."

"Uh... When did this happen..." Commissioner Gordon really deserves to be the one who can star in the "Gotham" TV series, and he exchanged information with Batman without anyone knowing it?Emily, who just watched the whole process from beginning to end but didn't find any abnormalities in Director Gordon, admired her in her heart.

They are all capable of great things.

"It's still not right. If it's just that there is an insider in the police station, why are you so serious?" Sitting on the sofa, Emily looked at the enigmatic detective, then at the mysterious Iron Man, and finally at Unspeakable Batman. "Is there anything serious enough to come back to Wayne Manor? Is Robert safe now?" Emily didn't know Batman Bruce Wayne, but she knew her idol.Iron Man is a person who is used to doing things in his own way. If the matter was not really urgent, how could he agree to come back to Wayne Manor?

Isn't it Iron Man's usual style that he should just buy the hospital or simply call a private jet to transport Robert away?

"Emily, think about what happened today." Stark sat beside Emily, deeply feeling that the other party's luck was too bad. "Tell me, what can you think of?" If Stark Industries enters the entertainment industry in the future, he must first ask someone to make a movie for his assistant. The name is "What the Unluckiest People in the World Have Experienced".

"What happened today..." Something was wrong all day today, but Emily didn't know what her boss wanted to know. "Hmm... First Lillian Granger died, then Robert was kidnapped... Now there is a ghost in the Gotham Police Department..." Shaking her head, Emily felt that she had caught something vaguely, but her train of thought After a flash, she couldn't think of anything. "I don't know...what's the matter?" Why did the three men look like they were facing an enemy? "Is it because of the prompts related to you that appeared in the video? Can't we know the reason after the Gotham police catch the two kidnappers and interrogate them?" Or is it that the three men have figured out the prompts? meaning of words? "Do you know what the last pineapplepie (pineapple pie) that didn't appear represents?" From the deduction of Robert's location to the rescue of the person, the last prompt word has never appeared.

"Miss Emily, you said before that you think this incident has something to do with us, right?" Bruce Wayne asked sitting on the single sofa farthest from Emily's position.

"That's right." Emily really believed that the reason for Robert's kidnapping this time was the fault of the three men present. "No matter who kidnapped Robert, the other party spent a lot of time and effort but anticlimactic. Although Robert was injured, he didn't hurt his life after all. Moreover, the few prompt words given in the video are so childish that there is almost no meaning other than the literal meaning. Any deep meaning. I think this kidnapping case really has something to do with you." Touching her hair, Emily said her thoughts again uncomfortably in the eyes of the three men. "There are four words in total. Although I don't know what the last one means, the words that refer to places in front of them are all directly related to you. bird (little bird) refers to a certain area in Gotham, although others have Might know another name for that place, but Mister Wayne, you're the only one here who grew up in Gotham and knows everything about Gotham." She cast her eyes on Batman. "If you weren't there, we wouldn't be able to draw out the approximate location where Robert is being held so quickly."

Although I feel sorry for the three heroes present, but knowing that she is not the only target of the behind-the-scenes mastermind, Emily really feels a lot easier in her heart. "Sherlock is the only detective (detective) here, and his address just corresponds to the police station number. The old address of the bank where Mr. Stark's company once invested corresponds to the check (check), which is the final place where Robert was detained. If the person who planned this case hadn't conducted an investigation beforehand, how could it be such a coincidence that each word represents a person?" Thinking about Robert's tragedy before, Emily sighed, "It's just poor Robert I was beaten so badly for no reason." This is what is called a sudden disaster.

"If those three prompts represent the three of us," Stark leaned on the arm of the sofa. "Emily, what do you think the fourth word stands for?"

"On behalf of myself, there are only four people here, and I am the only one left." Emily admitted frankly. "But I really don't understand what this word means. The first three words all indicate where Robert is, but now that he has been rescued, will he still be in any danger?" Could it be that the Gotham Police Department Will the ghost take Robert away again?

"It seems that your boring work of serving people tea and water has consumed your little IQ." With such a flat tone, no one thinks about it except the great detective Sherlock.

"Sherlock." Emily held back the idol who was about to quarrel with the big detective again. "Just tell me what comes to your mind."

"Hmph", the great detective Sherlock sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and he looked at Emily in front of him. Although he was not very satisfied, he still gave a hint. "Didn't you think about it, how did all this happen?" The little girl who had been paying attention to the details just ignored the most important thing - the beginning of everything.

"How did it happen..." Looking at the unpredictable detective Sherlock in front of her, Emily, who couldn't grasp the clue for the time being, took out the energy of fooling S.H.I.E.L.D. and tried hard to think. "Robert's kidnapping... Lillian Granger's death... I came to Gotham today? No, it's not this... ah... it's because..." She couldn't believe it. "It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible." Nobody in the world can do that. "I do not believe."

"Tell me what you think." Sherlock was like an interviewer.

"This is too ridiculous...impossible." Emily was frightened by her own thoughts. "I must be wrong." But the expressions of the other three men present were so serious, and Emily felt that maybe her terrible idea was right.

"Tell me." Sherlock motioned Emily to speak.

"The murderer... has something to do with all of this." Emily felt incredible.Even a big villain should have a scope and boundary of activities, how could he dare to provoke three people at the same time? "Robert was kidnapped because he came to Gotham, but he came to Gotham because of me. I'm in the police station because Lillian Granger died in front of me, but Lillian Granger You came to Gotham because of Mr. Wayne’s invitation. Mr. Wayne invited Lillian Granger to Gotham because of the disappearance in Gotham. In the same way, Sherlock, you came to Gotham because of London. The case of disappearance and abandoned corpses happened, and Mr. Stark came here because of me. The hints related to you appeared in the prompt...Whether Robert was kidnapped is actually not important to the people behind the scenes, he is just using This method conveys a message..." Emily felt a chill down her spine, "He wants to tell us...he knows everything...so he is provoking you?!"

The people behind the scenes used this method to clearly convey a message-whether Bruce Wayne was secretly investigating the disappearance of Gotham and suspected the female writer Lillian Granger, or the great detective Sherlock temporarily decided to fly. The move to Gotham, or every move of Emily and Iron Man, was expected by the person behind the scenes, or in other words, under his or her surveillance.

"The code of the chat room that I sent is also wrong. If I was the only one there, I wouldn't understand what it meant to represent the dark web. I'm afraid I would think it was the kidnapper asking for a ransom." Looking back, things were very complicated from the very beginning. weird. "The kidnappers simply knew that I was with you, so they sent that kind of thing."

"It's okay, not too stupid." Except for Sherlock, the other two men present were silent.

"But this is too unbelievable..." Emily knew that the big detective affirmed her conjecture, but just like this, she found it even more difficult to accept. "Who would be able to do this?" Isn't Moriarty so smart that he has only one deadly enemy, Sherlock?Didn't Loki only regard Thor as his mortal enemy in Secondary School?Doesn't the clown only piss off Batman if he is so snake-sick?Who is so brave enough to provoke the three of them at the same time?

"Hannibal Lecter is an ogre, but it's hard for me to imagine that he would be so crazy." Emily, who was still suspecting that the man behind the scenes might be the ogre who didn't know whether to live or die, no longer Confirmed.

"It's the stupidest thing to speculate before you can find out the facts." Compared with Emily's nervousness and the seriousness of the other two men, the adventurous and exciting detective is the happiest at this time. "Think about it, hiding behind one's back has something to do with all of this. Ah... is it Christmas today?" The excited Sherlock was full of excitement, "Emily, don't be so sad."

"Sherlock, can you restrain yourself?" Emily approached her boss unconsciously. "It's not a good thing..." As the only ordinary person among the four people being targeted, Emily, who couldn't carry her shoulders, couldn't carry her hands, and couldn't run fast, felt her eyes darken. "This man is too crazy to dare to provoke the three of you at the same time..." Finally, he understood why Batman must ask several people to go back to Wayne Manor to discuss in detail-God knows what kind of eyeliner that powerful behind-the-scenes man has.

"Okay." Although Stark also felt that things were a little tricky, he didn't feel as scared as Emily after he had experienced strong winds and waves. "Emily, things will be resolved soon, you don't have to worry." As Iron Man, Stark has his pride.

"Hello?" Bruce Wayne's phone rang suddenly. "Okay, I see." Batman put down the phone and turned to look at Emily with a complicated expression.

"Bruce, what's wrong?"

"Gordon and the others found the SUV used to transport the hostages based on the clues provided by Robert Black, and captured one of the suspects who was about to abandon the car and flee." Bruce Wayne turned his attention to Emily again. "It was ... Linda White."
