[Comprehensive British and American] Capernaum

Everyone in Gotham knows that it's okay not to walk on the streets at night in Gotham, and of course, don't walk in the sewers.The ghost knows what you can encounter there, and what you can pick up.According to people from the Gotham Police Department, more than 20 guns can be caught at a time.

There is a reason for the decent people in Gotham not to go down the sewers. After all, they are not shady rats who want to do something sneaky, but the unscrupulous people in Gotham, such as gangsters and homeless people, don't usually go down the sewers.

On the one hand, because the sewer is the territory of the crocodile people; on the other hand, maybe you can meet a Batman around the corner.Yes, Batman is not only keen on flying around Gotham, but also loves Gotham sewers.

When Maliwei was resettled, Ronika drove there, but because Jones' body was found, the police station has intensified its efforts to investigate suspicious persons in recent days, and it would be very troublesome to drive swaggeringly to deal with Maliwei.

So, Ronika went down the sewer.

Then, she starts to regret that she didn't drive, because she does meet Batman around the corner.Fortunately, the two of them didn't bump into each other. When they were about to reach the corner, Ronika stopped suddenly, and then stepped back to another passage with as light and fast steps as possible.

Footsteps echoed in the sewers, along with the voices of Batman and Robin.

"I should be able to get off work early tonight." The voice of the third-generation Robin was soft. According to insiders, it was not as energetic and talkative as the first generation, nor as irritable and violent as the second generation.

"Stay alert, Robin." Batman's voice has been processed to make it hoarse and unhuman, like gliding his claws on frosted glass, an inherently unpleasant pitch frequency.

"Director Gordon has been busy with the murder of the mayor's nephew recently, so he probably won't turn on the bat light recently," Robin said softly.

"What are you trying to say?" Batman was clearly tired of Robin's words.

"I want to look into that case." Robin replied seriously.

"What is remarkable about that case?"

"... nothing, I just feel..."

Batman interrupted Robin: "And throw most of your manpower into a trivial case?"

His voice was a few degrees deeper, and even though he was wearing goggles, his eyes narrowed slightly.It was a sign of his doubts and resentment, a look Robin was familiar with.

"I'm sorry, Batman." The child apologized softly, but added: "I'm just looking around in my spare time, and it won't affect the normal night watch."

This kid is determined, Batman thought, this generation of Robins isn't stubborn, but being good-tempered doesn't mean being opinionated.For example, the child in front of me will stick to his point of view in a very tactful and soft way.

"You take care of it yourself." Batman didn't force it anymore. To be honest, he didn't have any position to criticize Robin. Recently, he himself has been busy with the Justice League.

Ronika didn't make a sound, she clung to the cold and damp wall of the sewer, her right eye covered by her long hair flickered slightly, and then retreated another passage like a cat.

Within a minute of her action, Batman and Robin walked into the passage she was in, and Ronika looked up at the manhole cover above her head.Climbing up now, she was worried that if she could not control her hands and feet, she would make noises.

It's fine if it's an ordinary person, but that's Batman, and the sewers are his territory, and any wind and grass will make the guardian of Gotham suspicious.If he saw his face again, the trouble would be endless.

She held her breath and stood in silence for a few minutes.Finally, Batman and Robin turned to another passage.Without further ado, Ronika jumped up, grabbed the manhole cover and lifted it, sending herself out of the sewer.

A few seconds later, she was standing in the freezing Gotham midnight fog, smelling the stench of her own clothes.The city is always shrouded in thick fog, covering even the moonlight.

Forget it, let's walk over there.

When Ronika left the sewer, Batman's footsteps paused, he looked sharply not far away, and Robin beside him immediately became alert: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Batman was silent for a moment. He seemed to sense movement there just now, but it was only for a moment. It should not escape his ears.

Tonight's night patrol is over. Not only did the gangsters in the west of the city become honest after being beaten up, they also caught two robbers along the way and frightened a few drunk young people who didn't come home at night.What's more, in order to deal with the murder of the mayor's nephew, the police also scattered a lot of people on the street, so there must be no major problems tonight.

Batman returned to his base, covered in the stench and damp of sewers.The old butler Alfred, with a complex expression of disgust and relaxation on his face, handed over the hot towel, and opened his mouth with a standard British accent: "Master Bruce, please don't drip the stinky water on the floor I just wiped. on, unless you'd like to wipe it again with me tomorrow."

As an older and irritable single young man, Batman took off his hood, took the towel with an expression of displeasure, and fiddled with his face and head a few times, getting the old butler to raise his eyebrows meaningfully.Robin next to him changed his uniform very obediently, and wiped his body carefully.

"Master Bruce, if you still have to work tonight, please allow me to bring the prepared supper, can salmon sandwiches and milk be okay?"

"Coffee." Bruce Wayne said without looking back, staring at the data on the bat computer.

"You have already drank five cups today. Excessive intake will affect your health. Why don't you drink a glass of milk, which is rich in nutrients and helps you sleep." The old housekeeper said unhurriedly.

Children only drink milk before going to bed at night!

Bruce was silent for a moment, but he was sure that he couldn't argue with Ah Fu on life issues. Instead of wasting time arguing with him for a long time, he might as well be obedient.

"Then milk." There is no way, Batman is so good at weighing the pros and cons, the attribute of being strong and strong does not exist in front of the old butler who took care of him when he grew up.If there is anyone in this world that Batman can't beat, it must be Ah Fu.

"Then, Master Tim also drinks milk?" The old butler put away the two towels and turned to the boy who quickly changed into a suit of casual clothes.

"Okay, Ah Fu." No problem, Ah Fu, what you say is what you say, Ah Fu.

After taking care of (threatening) the big and the young, Ah Fu left the Batcave.Bruce is already immersed in the world of data at this moment, the blue computer screen is shining on his grim face, and the fingers keep turning the cursor to check the model of something.

Tim glanced at his adoptive father and didn't bother him. Instead, he turned on his Robin computer, easily hacked into the Gotham police database, and read the files on Jones' death and Marivey's disappearance.The two of them were quiet in the bat cave, not disturbing each other for a while.

Until Ah Fu came in with supper, he saw that the two of them were frowning and staring at his computer, as if he also had the hot gaze of Superman.

"Cough." The housekeeper coughed lightly, Tim was the first to recover, shut down the computer abruptly, and ran over to help Ah Fu serve the dishes, looking very obedient.

Ah Fu sighed helplessly, and shouted to the person in front of the bat computer: "Master Bruce."

The man was unmoved.

The butler knew that Batman who was immersed in work was unshakable, so he could only put aside the food that belonged to him, and watched the boy in front of him sipping warm milk.

"If only he could rest easy like you, Master Tim." The old butler sarcastically pointed, regardless of whether the man heard it or not.

"Ah Fu." Tim held the cup, frowned, and asked, "What kind of person is Ronika?"

The old butler paused for a moment, then asked calmly, "Why did you suddenly think of Miss Ronika?"

"I saw her at school today."

Ah Fu didn't buy it: "You can see her every day at school, Master Tim."

"Do you know about her going to parties, drinking and taking drugs?" Tim looked up and asked, just in time to see the deep disappointment and regret in the old butler's eyes.

"I have heard it a little bit." Afu thought about his words, then looked at the man who looked like a sculpture standing in front of the computer, and said, "But there is no way."

They don't have the custody and discipline rights, not to mention that Ronika is very repulsive to the master, and even loathes herself, they really can't control it.Fortunately, Ronika is just like all the idle second-generation ancestors in Gotham, nothing more than squandering her youth and money, and she didn't do anything too extreme.When it comes to drugs, it's nothing more than prescription drugs and marijuana. After all, Batman has very strict control over the drug trade in the school.

"Miss Ronika has enough money...to live this kind of life." Ah Fu sighed, and he also guessed what the master was thinking. He probably hoped for this daughter in this life, that is, to be a "fund baby" in a mediocre manner. .

If you like to party, go to play, if you like to fall in love, go to talk, if you like to buy things, go to buy things. If you can successfully complete your studies and find a serious job, you will be thankful.

Tim understood, and his grip on the laptop tightened.What he wanted to ask was, what if Ronika had something to do with the murder?

Gordon's investigation is in the right direction. The case of Malivy and Jones may be related to the disappearance of Anna Turl a few months ago. The anonymous phone call is also very important, but he did not investigate further because of the The previous monitoring data has long been erased.

But the so-called party, there will definitely be boring people taking photos or making videos to post on Twitter and Facebook.So Robin programmed himself to search the web for party videos featuring Anna Tell.

In the end, in a ten-second video of a beauty blogger, it was a few months ago.In the head-shaking shot, Tim sees Anna serving drinks behind the crowd.Several drunken students tried to pull her into his arms, but someone stopped them and slapped each of them.

The video is very blurry and dim, but Tim naturally has a way to deal with it. After adjusting and zooming in, he pieced together the face of "the brave man".

Ronika Wayne.

Of course, this doesn't explain anything, it's just a small doubt.However, Tim also found Director Gordon's statement record that had just been entered into the system.When Commissioner Gordon asked Ronika about Anna Turl today, what did the other party answer?

"Then what does this have to do with Maliwei? Don't you suspect that Annie Tra killed Jones and kidnapped Maliwei?" Ronika said so.

She didn't even care about the other party's name, even though Director Gordon had just said it once, and she even got Anna's name right in the previous sentence.

She did it on purpose.

Ronika saved Anna, maybe she can explain it, saying that she just slapped her face a few times when she saw injustice, and didn't pay attention to who the person was saved, but this is still a doubtful point. A subtle dissonance.

One doubtful point may be a coincidence, two doubtful points may be an accident, but when each doubtful point is threaded into a line, then things are definitely not that simple.

According to this line of reasoning: Ronika knew Anna, Anna was suspected of being killed by Maliwei and Jones, and then Jones was killed and Maliwei disappeared.

The logic chain is already very clear, and the criminal motive can also be established. The rest is nothing more than checking one by one, finding the other party's loopholes, and using evidence to speak.

Tim's expression sank. The question is not whether Ronika really did this, but whether he should continue to investigate now, or tell Bruce the suspicion first.
