[Comprehensive British and American] Capernaum

Charlie Malivy himself returned.

After disappearing for a week, the teenager returned home by himself. After his mother let out a scream, she hugged her only son tightly and cried loudly.After hearing the news, the police came and took him to the hospital for examination and evidence collection. They found that Maliwei had indeed been kidnapped. The marks on his hands and mouth could not be left in a day or two, and there were marks of needle holes on his arms.

But all the evidence on him is gone, because this guy took a shower in the hotel and changed into a suit of clothes. The bum took it.

Director Gordon felt a headache. What made him even more troubled was that Maliwei's memory of the kidnapping was vague. He only knew that he was arrested and covered his head and locked up for a week. I can't remember the words clearly.

The doctor said that it may be a post-traumatic stress response. After a person encounters something unacceptable, the brain will forcibly cut off the thinking and erase the memory out of the need to protect the body.

Yet while Malivy was of no help in his own kidnapping case, he was of great help in another disappearance.That's right, he even took the initiative to admit to the police that he and Philip Jones had killed the previously missing Anna Turl, and that the gangsters had paid for the gangster's body to sink to the bottom of the Gotham River.

There was an uproar in the media for a while, the case of the murder of the mayor's nephew was already a hot topic, but now there is such a thing? !Not only did the Gotham newspaper seem to have an early Christmas, but Mayor Jones' political opponents also smelled good things and seized this good opportunity.

Mr. Mayor has no time to put pressure on Commissioner Gordon, but that doesn't mean the police department can relax.There are still many mysteries between these cases that have not been solved: Who made the anonymous call?And who killed Jones and kidnapped Malivy?Why did Maliwei not remember the kidnapping case, but surrendered to the police as if he had been possessed by a demon?

What the citizens of Gotham are most passionate about is this kind of weird story that cannot be explained by common sense. Within a week, all kinds of midnight stories have been released, from the slightly normal version of Batman himself to the revenge of Anna Wraith. version, and then to the version where the Tell family has believed in evil gods for generations...

Everyone is waiting for the police to give a conclusion, but Director Gordon said: We don't know either!If you firmly believe that it is a supernatural event, why don't you invite magicians and demon hunters! !

Anna's body cannot be found, and it is impossible to find it in this life.One is that the gangsters are not easy to mess with, and the other is that they really want to dig out the corpses there. It will take a month or two to finish the autopsy work. Even Gordon doesn't want to poke a hole in the sky. How many shocking cases that have been hidden for many years are rolled up.

But there is no body and only Maliwei's confession, so it is not convenient for the police to deal with it.It also gave Mayor Jones a chance to escape the attack.Under the multi-party game and operation, the big shots finally reached a consensus: (1) Anna Turl was killed and not filed a case, or she is considered missing; (2) Maliwei needs to stop school and see a psychiatrist to treat his paranoia; (3) The case of Philip's murder is over, let it go on the shelf as an unsolved case; (4) Hurry up and find some big news to cover this damn shit!

What a happy ending.

What a ghost!Bruce Wayne speaks from the bottom of his heart.He couldn't understand the skillful operation of the upper echelons of Gotham.However, dealing with these people is not like dealing with street gangs. Even Batman must abide by and use the rules.

Two gangsters who harmed girls, one was killed, and the other was dropped out of school to see a doctor, which was considered punishment.It's just that Anna Turl didn't have a decent funeral, and her mother was also seriously ill waiting to die in the hospital, and she didn't even have money for continued treatment.

But this is not what troubled Bruce, but after Maliwei appeared, Tim gave him all the information in his hand.Batman is not stupid, Robin can see the problem, of course he immediately understood.

Especially after Maliwei surrendered himself, Bruce became more suspicious and vigilant.What method did Ronika use to manipulate Maliwei's thinking?Is it hypnosis, or brainwashing?

But no matter what it is, it is imperative to meet Ronika.Send Batman to scare the little girl at night?It seems a bit fussy again.So, I could only meet my daughter as Bruce Wayne, and test it out on the sidelines.

Since Bruce really didn't want to see the woman Sharon Dalton, he decided to block people at school, and it happened that Tim was also in Gotham Middle School, so there was a good reason to come to school.

After meeting the principal to discuss donating new experimental equipment, Bruce received a text message from Tim: Ronika was running on the playground.

The black-haired girl who changed into sportswear ran the third lap on the playground. The red-haired Helen had long since given up and sat beside her to cheer her good friend up. Praise, after all, she hasn't exercised seriously for many years.

"One more lap, Helen." Ronika stopped in front of her friend, who hugged the phone and shook her head firmly.

"Just take pictures, my dear, there will be a chocolate themed party tonight, I heard there will be a chocolate pool and a German male model, you go change your clothes early in the evening." Helen looked excited, "What do you think of me wearing that blue speckled bikini? "

not so good.

Helen would participate in the killing, mainly because of Ronika.The kid doesn't have a deep relationship with Anna, but he obeys Ronika's orders and likes to do things that look "cool".

So when she did see Ronika pinning Philip's head and drowning him, the child was terrified.Even if Ronika ordered her to kidnap Marivet and kill him, she did not dare to resist, because she was afraid that Ronika would kill her too.

Yes, Ronika said, it was only fair to kill one person, and she believed that Helen would not betray them.But even if Helen had 1 more guts, the little girl would not dare to kill anyone, so there was a week of stalemate.

Poor thing, that week, Helen nearly had a nervous breakdown.

Therefore, Ronika simply erased that memory, on the one hand to prevent her from being exposed in front of Gordon; on the other hand, she did not want her to bear the crime of murder again.

This matter has nothing to do with Helen. The only problem with this child is that he made friends, went on the wrong path, and followed the trend too blindly.

But Ronika really hoped that she would stop going to those messy parties, because Helen had already failed two grades this term.

"I promised Tim that I wouldn't go to the party again, and you don't either." Ronika said calmly, and glanced at Helen, who flinched subconsciously.

Sith's mind control is relatively rough, and often after they search for information, they can basically destroy each other, so Ronika didn't dare to go too deep into Helen's brain, so she changed the main memory, but left the instinct of fear .

Including that Helen said that she remembered that someone gave Marive something at the party, which was actually her own memory. She was the girl she saw, and she gave a mobile phone to two boys according to Ronika's instructions. .

The fear was ingrained, but Ronika thought it was fine.A person who knows how to be afraid will not make a big mistake.With her restraint, Helen probably wouldn't dare to go to parties anymore.

"Go and run around again." Ronika said lightly, and Helen put down her phone and ran with tears in her eyes.She didn't know what was wrong with herself, she didn't dare to resist her friend's order at all!

"Exercising more is helpful to the body, helps the brain to secrete dopamine, and quits drinking and drug addiction." Ronika crossed her arms and remained unmoved by her friend's pleading eyes. "I will go home after five laps today. You haven't started your homework yet."

After careful calculation, Helen is her responsibility. She caused the other party to be involved in the murder case, so naturally she should be responsible for her and help her learn well.

"Ronika." The man behind finally spoke.

The black-haired girl touched the necklace hanging around her neck, and turned around slowly.It was a familiar yet unfamiliar face.Familiar because she can see him on social news every day, unfamiliar because as biological fathers, they haven't seen each other for five years, even though they are in the same city.

"Bruce Wayne." She called him by his first name with a calm expression.

A man raises his eyebrows, even if he is a stranger, he should address him as "Mr. Bruce Wayne". Calling him by his first name is equivalent to showing his attitude in social situations.

How should I speak?

"How's it going?" Bad start.

"Thanks to you, it's not bad." Ronika didn't mean to be ironic. She was able to live a peaceful and prosperous life because of this man's willingness to contribute money and effort.

"Is there anything you're missing?" Worse continued.

Ronika almost burst out laughing. Although Wayne had a straight face and his tone was so calm and indifferent, she could hear some helplessness from these two sentences.

"I don't lack anything. I'm fine." Her voice softened. "Are you here on purpose to find me? Or are you trying to find Tim?"

"Talk to the principal, Tim will go back by himself today." Bruce found that as long as he responded to her with a normal adult attitude, the conversation would not be difficult to carry on.

"I heard that you often go to parties. Gotham is not safe at night, and there is no need to go to these occasions." Bruce shrugged, "Chocolate pools and the like are sticky and sticky. Got mud all over his face in the Amazon forest."

Ronika bent her lips: "Do you often swim in chocolate?"

"I was thrown down before, and those bastards were still laughing by the side. Of course, there are many unlucky people who were thrown down together." Bruce smiled softly, looking at the girl in front of him with downcast eyes thoughtfully.

Thanks to the chocolate swimming pool, he was finally able to ease the atmosphere, otherwise the following questions would not be able to continue.

But fortunately, he didn't come here to bond with his daughter, the key is the routine.

"By the way, speaking of parties, I heard from Tim that a classmate died at the party, and Commissioner Gordon asked you for a question."
