"Sir, according to the records of the police department, the number of missing children recorded in the whole of Gotham half a year ago was 50, but considering that many children were not registered after they disappeared, according to the big data summary, the actual number of missing children should be at least 150"

"How many are found"

"Including those who are dead?"

"Yes, including those who are dead"

"Including those who have died, the number of all known whereabouts is 30, of which the number of fatalities is 18"

"What is the cause of death?"

"Of the 18 people who died, 10 were determined to have died in accidents, either by falling into the sea or getting lost in the forest"

"What about the remaining 8 people?"

"Three died by gunfire, one of them did not die on the spot but died of blood loss"

"What about the other five?"

“.......... Died of rape and murder"

Alfred really didn't want to say this answer, and determined that the children who died unnatural deaths, except for the three who died from the perverted murderers who had been caught, all the rest died from rape and murder, including two girls and three boys, and 5 people were sexually assaulted by at least 4 or more people without exception. According to the police records, at least four DNA samples were found in each body, one of the girls found two DNA dander in the cracks of her fingernails, and interestingly, one of the dander DNA in the girl's fingernails did not match the DNA of the body fluids extracted from her body, but matched the body fluid DNA extracted from the body of another boy, which the police suspected was an organized crime on a large scale. Although the time of discovery of the child's body is not consistent, the frequency of a corpse in a month, and the clues that signs of frostbite were found on two of the corpses, the police suspect that the children may have died at the same time, but there is a difference in the time of dumping, if not at the same time, the time of death should not be large. However, the matching of criminal records did not find the right person, which means that this criminal gang is likely to be new.

“... I see."

This information was really difficult for Bruce to be pleasant, and after glancing at the people who were immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the banquet, Bruce narrowed his eyes, made an excuse, and walked to the lounge above the banquet that was specially prepared for him.

The night of Gotham, as if it was dark enough to swallow all the light, could not illuminate the dim streets of the lower floors with the bright light of the superstructure.

A dark shadow crept through the gaps in the buildings, nothing but the occasional figure caught by the lights leaving a streak of black shadows on the buildings behind.

The shadow jumped over several rooftops, landed on a windowsill protruding from an old building, and opened the window without the slightest movement and slipped in.

“... Why didn't I be notified about this?"

A low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind Gordon, and he instinctively took out his pistol, but when he saw the comer, he could only put it down fiercely;

"I please! Do you want to scare me to death? I'm old and my heart isn't very good."

"Why didn't you notify me?"

Ignoring Sheriff Gordon's complaints, Batman still asks questions to himself.

“... Which one? ”

After being taken aback, the intrusion guy asked questions in a threatening way, which made Gordon's mood extremely bad, and the worst thing was that he couldn't lose his temper yet.

"Child rape and homicide"

There was not a single superfluous word, and he simply and clearly said what he meant. Of course, Batman knows that Gotham is a hotbed of crime, and all he or the police can do is do as much as they can, do their best, but even so, there are many things they can't take care of.

Hearing Batman mention the particular case that weighed down in a pile of cases, Gordon fell silent and lit a cigarette casually:

"It was an accident that these cases were linked, the person in charge of keeping the samples was a new police officer, who broke 3 of the test tubes, and only 2 of the samples that should have been tested for 3 DNA were detected, and the police officer in charge of testing the samples was an experienced veteran, and he noticed that there was a problem, so he rematched all the samples and finally found that the samples from the two corpses matched...."

Gordon took a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled it, watching the faint smoke slowly dissipate in the air:

"The bodies were found at different times and in different places, and although they were all sexually assaulted, the cause of death was different. Mechanical suffocation, severe beating、.... There is also a direct death from rape .........."

Thinking back to the five young bodies and guessing what had happened to them, Gordon's fists clenched tightly.

“... If it weren't for that frizzy lad, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to tie these 5 cases together, and there is no current unification on whether this case is classified as a serial homicide or is responsible as a separate case, and you haven't been pursuing the scarecrow case recently............ Bastard, let me finish talking."

When Gordon came out of his sadness, he found that the figure that had been standing by the window had disappeared, and the night breeze passed through the open window, causing the light curtains to dance gently. Gordon poked his head out, looked around the window carefully, but could not find the trespasser, gave up and closed the window, closed the curtains, and thought of something, opened the window again and said to the air:

"By the way, there is another common characteristic, which is that they are all green-eyed"

Gordon, who has been working with Batman for a long time, knows very well that the ghostly man will never disappear and leave immediately, and he will definitely wander around the neighborhood to find more clues.

Batman was indeed as Gordon had guessed, he was standing on Gordon's roof, and of course he heard Gordon's last words.

“... Green eyes...."

A long-term intuition suddenly made him connect Jason's disappearance half a year ago with this incident, after connecting the communicator:

"Ah Fu, is Jason asleep now?"

"Master Jason? He shouldn't have slept yet, he's working very hard now."

"I'll be right back"

Batman drove towards Wayne Manor in his car, and Bruce's identity was inconvenient to ask, so he planned to ask directly as Batman.

Halfway through the car, it suddenly received an emergency signal from the Bat Cave:

"Ah Fu, what's wrong?"

"Master Bruce, Master Jason is not in his own room, I have searched for the whole manor, he is gone"

“..... What about surveillance footage? ”

“..... Oh my God, he left after dinner...."

"I see"

Hanging up the communication, Batman turned on the radar, and soon the radar searched for the fixed frequency - from the transmitter on Jason's shoe.
