Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Headless Case

Although Bruce says he'll talk to Jason, reality doesn't seem to be going to give him that opportunity.

Poison ivy and Pigface were sent back to Arkhamri, but the Clown, Freeze, and Mudface were completely gone. Harley Quinn wasn't with Poison Ivy, so she must be with the Joker.

Bruce has a social dinner party that he can't get out of tonight, and Jason looks out the window at the untimely bat lamp projection in the sky, and decides to go it alone, despite Alfred's dissuasion.

"Oh my God"

Seeing Jason's motorcycle disappear at the end of the tunnel, Alfred hurriedly calls Bruce for an emergency call.

When Bruce received Alfre's call, he also saw the giant bat lamp outside the window.

But at the moment he was completely unable to get out of a group of women.

"Mr. Wayne? You don't seem to be happy, are you unhappy with the dinner?"

A woman in a light green floor-length dress looked at Bruce with a smile and asked.

"How so? Ms. Jones"

Ms. Jones is one of the organizers of tonight's banquet, and this dinner tonight is not a charity banquet, but a business dinner held by the largest chemical pharmacy federation in the United States for a large number of regulated chemicals entering the market in recent years, mainly to answer public questions, but also to play a role in the restraint of all companies in the industry, although this is nothing more than a meaningless show in Bruce's view.

Wayne Corporation has a sizable chemical company, but this level of banquet should not have been enough for him to be present in person, and the main reason why he is here now is the clown who has not yet been found.

If you have a good relationship with the people of each company on this occasion, you may be able to hear some of the most needed news from someone's mouth, such as which company has recently lost a batch of raw materials that can be used to synthesize laughing gas................

"But you look preoccupied"

Ms. Jones debunked Bruce's disguise without giving face.

“.. I was just.. I'm a little worried about my adopted son's recent situation, we've been a little bit lately... Forehead.. Small contradictions"

Bruce knew that this business woman was not so easy to fool the past characters, and said half-truths.

"Oh... Which one? ”

Ms. Jones had two faces in her mind, one that was always smiling gently, and one that was always tense.

"Jason, the second"

"Oh, there's nothing strange about it, a boy at this age does need to worry about it"

Ms. Jones remembered the boy with a particularly pure and beautiful pair of green eyes, which were rare to find in pure emerald color, and it was indeed time to worry about it.

"Don't worry too much, you are also from that age, boys of this age always have some unreasonable thoughts in their heads, give him some space and time, and it will pass"

"That's what you're talking about."

There seems to be a natural advantage to being a woman with children, and Bruce doesn't mention what kind of conflict he has with Jason at all, but Jones can still give pertinent and useful advice.

"Thank you for your opinion"

This helpful piece of advice was a bonus-off bonus for Bruce tonight.

In the field of chemicals, Wayne Enterprises is not a leading company. In fact, it has only been a few years since Wayne Enterprises set foot in the field of chemical agents, but it can't support the overall skeleton of the company, and Bruce has become the protagonist of this business dinner, especially after Wayne Enterprises and Met's Lex Group jointly developed new drugs.

Reporters are testing Bruce almost all the time, testing the research progress of related drugs from various angles.

In the face of the reporters' different kinds of questions, Bruce took out his signature smile to deal with it, answering all kinds of questions, and skillfully avoiding all sensitive questions.

No one could tell the anxious worry under the perfect "mask" of Gotham Baby.

Bruce was eager to find an immediate reason to get out of here and see what was going on on Gordon's side, but unfortunately neither the media nor the organizers seemed to plan to give him that chance.

He wanted to find a female companion to get out and then find an excuse to leave, but this time the theme of the organizers seemed too serious, all the guests and reporters who entered the venue had to have an invitation from the organizer to enter, and the socialites who always used to liven up the atmosphere at the banquet were all isolated.

Bruce could only try to hide his anxiety and deal with all kinds of questions from the organizers and the media.

Jason didn't know Bruce's anxiety at the moment, and he was now looking at the materials Sheriff Gordon handed him.

"Won't Batman be here tonight?"

Gordon asked casually as he looked at the boy dressed in red. Anyway, this kind of thing is not once or twice, there is nothing to worry about, at least through this it is enough to know that he is still a person who will not be separated.

"Hmm"

Jason answered the question casually while looking at the information, Gordon missed the previous Robin, the kid would always chat with Batman when he was silent and looking through the information, and he was a little guy who talked a lot.

Jason didn't know anything about Gordon's inner feelings, and he tried to look at every detail of the material, trying to record everything in his head. After reading through the information, he returned it to Gordon and prepared to go to the address of the person mentioned in the information.

"Are you going to go now?"

Jason didn't answer Gordon's question and swung off the platform with a rope.

“... At least he didn't disappear suddenly."

Looking at the back of the boy's departure, Gordon said comforting to himself.

Maybe the reporters finally lost interest in Bruce and turned all their attention to the organizer of the party, Bruce found a reason and finally left the party, he didn't go to the Gotham Police Department's dedicated platform, the bat lights had been turned out, indicating that there was no one there, thought about it for a while, turned around and flew towards the Gotham Police Station.

Gordon was surprised by the sudden appearance of the person in his office, of course, it was not the first time that Batman appeared in the room so uninvited, and the reason for his surprise was that Batman actually came here to ask Robin's whereabouts, what happened? Gordon's instincts as a police officer are constantly warning.

"Uhhh What happened to you?"

Looking at the man who was about to leave after getting the answer, Gordon still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked. Of course, Batman couldn't give him an answer, so he expertly opened the window and leaped into the darkness and disappeared.

Gordon looked at the direction in which Batman disappeared and muttered to himself:

"It turns out that Batman is also a father who can't do anything with his son...."

Although it is uncertain whether Robin and Batman are father and son, this new discovery still makes Gordon suddenly feel a little closer to Batman, and it turns out that this ghost-like guy is just an ordinary father. I unconsciously put the daily contradictions between myself and Barbara on Batman and Robin, remembering that when Barbara asked her to go east and west during her rebellious period, I thought carefully about it It shouldn't be the same, after all, there is still a gap between a son and a daughter, but no matter what, Gordon is still a little unbelievable that someone would dare to do it against Batman.

“... Sure enough, it's father and son."

Only father and son could ignore Batman's cold-eyed gaze, Gordon thought.

Bruce had no idea about the little theater in Gordon's head, and he just hurried to the house of the informant who might know the whereabouts of Mudface, hoping that Jason wouldn't do anything too out of the ordinary.

But when he arrived near the informant's residence, he saw the red figure on the balcony leaning down and looking down, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

I sped up and went to the balcony where Jason was, and sure enough, I saw a bloodstain on the ground lying on the ground downstairs, and I don't know if it was life or death.

Someone falling from the building quickly attracted attention, and the people who found him began to try to call for help.

Jason saw Bruce coming, just looked up at him and looked away.

Bruce knew Jason, and this action meant that he was weak in heart, but Bruce wasn't sure if Jason accidentally pushed the man down, or if Jason did something to make the man jump on his own, or if the man wanted to jump but Jason didn't have time to stop it, but looking at Jason's appearance, he didn't plan to say it.

“... Go home."
