Three-stream detection simulator

"Oh." Hercule held his waist, remembering this historical legacy. In fact, as long as your brain is running endlessly, the pain in your body that does not fluctuate will be as relatively ignored as the sudden weight gain of twenty pounds. "I really should go to the hospital, but... hiss."

He wanted to lift up his shirt to see the condition of the wound, but found that the clothes and flesh seemed to be stuck together.

"Don't move, don't move, don't move! Please!" Harleen was more nervous than him, "Let me take a look."

She carefully squatted down, lifted up the corner of her coat with her fingers, and gasped when she saw Hercule's bloody back.

Hercule also introduced to her with interest: "Has the bleeding stopped? Batman's hemostatic equipment is very effective, but it's a pity that the cost is too high and it is difficult to mass produce."

"Why does it look more like compression to stop the bleeding..." Harleen bared her teeth and said with a weird expression, "Does it really not hurt, detective? Let's go to the hospital first."

Hercule waved his hand: "Actually, it's okay. I suspect that Batman's spray has analgesic effect. Let's not mention it for now, business is more important." He gathered his coat and covered the wound, "How's your courage? , Harley? Are you afraid of owls and corpses? The next action may be dangerous. I can't 100% guarantee that you will be safe. You can refuse or withdraw at any time, and you should prioritize your own safety."

"Of course not, I have been bold since I was a child. My ex-boyfriend went to jail for murder, and I even went to his house to steal the specimens he made as a souvenir." Harleen geared up, "I'm not afraid of danger, anything interesting. You can leave it all to me.”

Why does it sound so unreliable?

Hercule suspected that she had recruited a villain reserve, and then thought of her friend: "Did Ms. Easley come with you?"

Harleen: "I don't think she has..." A blade of grass scratched her hind leg, and Harleen immediately changed her mind, "Maybe."

"Okay." Hercule felt a little relieved. Villains like the Joker usually don't have friends, and those who have friends usually retain their humanity. "I want to ask you to go to this address and pretend to threaten the homeowner - in order to win people's trust, It doesn't matter if the action is a little more realistic - then tell her that the Joker has taken control of Hercule Hugo.

If she doesn't believe it, give her the video and photos on the USB flash drive. And no matter what surprising content you see, please believe that I fabricated it. "

Yes, he also asked Hibida to take some videos with his mobile phone.

It can be seen how tolerant the detective is to his friends, and he did not send Harvey a five-minute video that could not pass the review on an all-age public platform.

Harleen's eyes widened.

Hercule was patient: "Any questions?"

"Hercule...? That's not, uh, nothing." Harleen opened and closed her slender fingers, holding the hammer handle twice, "So are we the justice side or the villain side? To be honest, when I came over I have made a lot of mental preparations. After all, the profession of superhero is not on my life goal list. If you are actually a super villain, that would be too..."

Hercule ruthlessly broke her imagination: "I am a detective, Harley. My goal is to collect clues and dig out the truth. In the process of achieving our goals, I hope that we can both avoid getting into trouble as much as possible."

Harleen felt that she gradually understood everything: "No problem! I will be the detective's assistant tonight! You are Holmes and I am Watson, right?"

Hercule thought of an unnamed man with question marks written all over his body in Arkham Prison... He might have a big problem with the female Watson suddenly showing up, but whatever.

"That's pretty much it." He reassured you out of habit, "Don't worry, I will let my cat protect you whether your friends are there or not."

It's just that Xibida can't walk upright after all, otherwise there would be no need for Harleen to take risks.

Why can't Hibida walk upright? ?

Hercule turned to look at the cat squatting on the ground, sighed, and nodded to Harleen.

Harleen was not nervous at all, and gave Hercule an okay gesture with bright eyes.

Harvey and Batman work together to stuff the body into the trunk of the Batmobile.

Batman would like to dissect the corpse, study its internal structure, and determine the similarities and differences between the living Hercule and the dead Hercule. He is now a little suspicious that this is a detective from a parallel universe.

In other words, the 'Joker' from another world B killed Hercule from world C, brought his body to Batman's universe A, and met a living detective who also came from world B.

But this does not explain Hercule's attitude.

A normal person would never hesitate to commit atrocities against another person who looks exactly like him, even if he doesn't really like him. Hercule acted more like...he was used to treating 'himself' like this.

It seems that he does not place his self on the body, but manipulates it, controls it, and uses it from a high position. When necessary, the thing on which the soul relies can be abandoned by cruel means.

Because he won't die?

Or does he really have self-hatred deep in his heart?

In short, the detective's actions made the origin of the body even more confusing. Batman didn't want to make a judgment easily, so the autopsy was necessary, it was the step to explore the world, and it was to contribute to scientific progress... But Harvey must have other ideas.

Sure enough, when he said he wanted to take the body away (without mentioning the word autopsy), Harvey expressed his opposition fiercely.

"Don't even think about it." He held the coin in one hand, so hard that his palm hurt, and stretched his other hand to his waist, "I know you too well, Batman... We can do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. In other times and events, I would support your decision, but tonight I want to take the body away."

Batman: "..."

Harvey was a little upset after reading the message, he understood.

The prosecutor wanted to shoot him now, and when Hercule finished his plot and showed up, the bullet would probably be sent to the detective's head.

The Dark Knight had a headache.

They stalemated on the street for a moment, and a "click" sound came from a distance, the sound of a camera taking pictures. Batman immediately turned his head and saw the tabloid paparazzi who turned around and ran away. He was about to take out his grappling hook and chase him, but Harvey raised his gun at this moment.

Batman's arm movement direction suddenly changed. He suddenly jumped up, stretched out his hand and pulled again and again, disarmed Harvey, and knocked him out and stuffed him into the back seat of the car.

The incident happened suddenly, and in just a few seconds, the paparazzi disappeared.

Batman had to get in the car first. He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and thought a little angrily in the sound of the engine bursting, wouldn't it be over if he had done it earlier?

Facts have proved that no matter how much you say, it is not as useful as beating the other party up when you meet.

He rushed after the paparazzi's car, worried that Hercule's body would be recognized after being published in the newspaper, which would be a bad ending - although in fact, there were very few people who had seen the detective, and the reporter was so far away, the photo could not be very clear, and the other party would probably make up other outrageous rumors after returning.

As a result, halfway through the journey, Robin reported again, the content of which is hard to describe:

A crazy woman who works for the Joker and claims to be Harley Quinn broke into the home of a Gotham upper-class person and did some illegal things to the sleeping hostess.

Street video witnessed the whole process of Harley Quinn breaking into the villa. She held a ridiculously large, spiked hammer that looked like a circus prop, jumped to the gate of the villa garden and rang the doorbell several times, but to no avail, so she deftly jumped over the fence, hammered over the bodyguard, laughed and broke the window in the alarm, rushed into the bedroom, took the hostess out of the bed and threw her into the fountain water in the yard.

Then they had a conversation in the fountain, mainly Harley was talking, and the hostess listened tremblingly. After a while, Harley picked up the hostess, carried her back to the bedroom, turned on the TV, opened a bag of popcorn, and started playing the video.

Due to the viewing angle of the surveillance camera in the yard, Robin didn't know the content of their night tea party movie.

But he could see that Harley crushed the bag of popcorn halfway through the show and wanted to rush out of the villa but held back. She smashed the TV with a hammer, but the hostess calmed down and asked Harley a few questions before leaving the room and went somewhere unknown.

Batman immediately realized that the Court of Owls was about to take action.

The hostess's villa was built on the court base. In-depth investigation revealed that there were many unreasonable aspects in the process of establishing her family's power decades ago, and her personal circle of friends and source of wealth seemed to have certain problems.

It was indeed a matter of following the clues.

As for who sent Harley Quinn... it must be Hercule, who pretended to be the Joker.

And what videos Harley and the hostess watched, Batman could also guess based on Hercule's methods.

His head hurt even more.

Think about it, a girl who hasn't graduated from college yet, only regards Hercule as an ordinary detective she met by chance, but finds out that the person who died in the video is the famous Hercule Hugo and he looks exactly like her friend...

Seek the psychological shadow area of ​​Harleen.

Forget it, let Hercule deal with the mess he made.

Batman has long discovered that the detective's mental state is not stable today. Whether it is talking to the Bat Motorcycle and the Bat Lasso, or sometimes focusing on the eyes when no one is around, there are big problems. His behavior seems to be the same as before, but in fact, the gambling nature that already exists in his character has become much stronger.

On the other hand, the mechanical heart has changed. In the past, it mainly had the function of opening the door, which lasted only five minutes. Its creator may have intended to reduce the side effects. But tonight it is like a black snake lying on the detective's arm sucking blood, injecting saliva into the host's blood vessels continuously.

If the situation gets worse...

Harvey won't see the dead detective, but he might see Hercule in the Arkham cell, and no one except the Riddler will be happy about it.

Thinking of this, Batman believes that the treatment of Hercule's wounds and the assessment of his mental condition can no longer be delayed. Besides, the sooner Harvey sees Hercule alive, the better for both of them.

He narrowed his eyes in the direction where the tabloid reporter left, and after a while, he decided to let this little episode go, turned the steering wheel directly, and drove to the side road.

How will the Court of Owls act?

Hercules sat on the bench, fighting mosquitoes while thinking about this problem. First of all, they were able to possess the golden hourglass for a short time, and they had heard of the "detective" a long time ago, so they must be considered one of the core members of the Sanctuary of the Most Holy.

In Hawaii, the Yuwen Church mentioned the Court of Owls, saying that the loss of the hourglass would cause some disputes within their top organization and bring trouble to the court.

This shows that there is a cooperative relationship between Apocalypse Company, Ark Pharmaceuticals and the Sanctuary of the Most Holy, but at the same time, they are not a monolithic entity, because the Yuwen Church has no good feelings towards the Court of Owls and is indifferent to their fate.

Who will the court notify of the "Joker suspected of restraining Hercule Hugo"? They definitely don't think the detective will die, so even if Hercule is seriously injured in the video, he must be alive.

In addition, Harley said that the hostess of the court became extremely excited when she saw the bloody and unconscious detective... This made Hercule's many subsequent arrangements to prove that the clown is the clown and the body is the detective himself useless.

Don't they know that the Joker got another 'Hercule' and moved it to Gotham in this world?

The twelve apostles of the Sanctum Sanctorum are not only not of one mind, but may also be full of intrigue. Think about it, how much comradeship can there be between a group of people who have lived for who knows how many years and are either psychopaths or lunatics?

It's a pity that the Joker's line is broken. He seems to know the most, but he is not close enough to either side. But the contact person of the court is also very important. The person who can make them actively please must have something extraordinary.

The next task is to wait. During the waiting process, the Joker is alive, Hercule Hugo is out of contact, but Hercule as the Joker can move freely.

He looked at the faint morning light on the horizon and decided to return to their maze while the court was not paying attention to the beginning and the end, and move in another direction to determine whether it is related to the main task.

As a result, just after taking two steps, a cool Batmobile stopped on the side of the road in front. This scene seemed to have happened once before, when the two of them first met. Hercule noticed Harvey Dent lying unconscious in the back seat.

Alas, it's a bit early to meet now.

He turned around, pretending not to see him, and limped towards the station.

Batman took out the batarang and asked calmly, "Where's your cat?"
