Chapter 30: Identifying Yourself

Dick and Jason decide who is in charge of the bait according to the current circumstances, and sometimes Dick plays the role of an outsider who has just come to Gotham to ask for directions, and people usually pull their hands out when they are giving directions; Jason plays the role of a wandering thief, which is in a sense his own work, so Dick is a little worried about their growing wallets.

But God didn't seem to favor Dick and Jason for their diligence, and they spent three days trying to eliminate only the last three most difficult people, and they still couldn't find the "Charlie", and in the meantime, Jason had already harvested almost 10 men's wallets, a total of 50 dollars, and they were crouching on the roof of a house, staring at the closed iron door next door.

Dick had a question after seeing Jason's technique;

"Robin, you.. Haven't you stolen money before? ”

The harvest of 50 dollars in 3 days, this is still the result of their selective attack, if it was the former Jason, he could completely rely on this to feed himself, how could he be seriously malnourished?

“... The most difficult thing is not to steal but to find a target, and to avoid the attention of the street child leader in this area, that is the most difficult."

Jason rolled his eyes, did Dick think that the streets of Gotham were full of people like the ones they were looking for? Most people can only dig out their credit cards in their pockets, and unlike before, stealing things used to require the double pursuit of both the victim and the leader of the street children in the territory, but now he doesn't need to worry about this, judging from his past experience, his actions in the past few days should have attracted the attention of this generation of land bosses, if he is still the homeless street child, at most three days will soon be in trouble.

Dick looked at Jason's side face, and it was extremely easy for such a heavy topic to come out of Jason's mouth.

“... What are you doing?"

Jason felt a little awkward about Dick's sudden hug, and he wasn't used to this kind of intimate physical contact.

“... It's fine, it's just a bit cold."

Dick couldn't understand what kind of life Jason had lived before, although his family couldn't be compared with Bruce, but it was also full of warmth and love, he had never been hungry or cold, his parents were also famous, so he never worried about money, occasionally going out with his friends to mess around, stealing cakes from the store and the like, which attracted the store owner to chase and scold, but he never ran to steal money because of a meal.

Jason didn't bother to expose Dick's lies, although he didn't know what kind of uniform he was wearing, but even the uniform he could only feel a trace of chill in this kind of snowy day, how could Dick feel cold. But for the warmth that wraps him, although he is not used to it, he does not hate it.

A figure appeared in front of the door of the house where the two men were watching, attracting the attention of Dick and Jason, a man wearing a heavy trench coat with a hat covering his face, standing in the doorway and pulling out a bunch of keys from his pocket. After staring at that hand for a long time, Jason said with certainty:

"That's him, what are you doing now? Go down and catch him? ”

"Wait"

Dick pressed Jason, who was about to rush down immediately, and then adjusted the focus of the camera in his hand and took a few pictures.

The photo was quickly uploaded, and Dick then connected to Barbara's communication:

"Barbara, help me analyze the photos I just sent over to see if the face is real"

"Wait, Wait"

Then there were a few keystrokes on the communicator, and soon Barbara's voice came again.

"It's not a real face, but there are traces of suspected surgery on the chin, so it may have been facelifted"

"Thanks, Barbara"

"You're welcome"

"Why don't you go down and catch him?"

Seeing Dick turn off the comms, Jason asked strangely.

"He won't admit it, you said he usually appeared in that store with a fake face, he probably has several other faces, and he hasn't appeared for a long time, which means that he may be planning to hide for a while, we don't have any evidence to confirm that he is the person we are looking for"

"Beat him up and he'll say everything"

“... Robin... Beating him up is a trivial matter, but the point is that if we make a mistake, we will make a big detour."

“.. Are you doubting my judgment? ”

Jason pouted unhappily.

"But your judgment is based on your intuition, isn't it?"

Dick's rhetorical questioning was too much for Jason to refute, and he really didn't have any evidence that he was Charlie.

"Then we're going to just watch?"

Jason was a little unwilling.

“... Well.. It may be a little difficult to get him to admit that he is an intelligence monger, but it is not too difficult to get him to admit that he is Charlie."

Dick thought about it and thought of a good reason.

"Jason, wait a minute....... And then you do it tomorrow...."

................................................................

John. Harrier had purchased a bunch of items from the supermarket, and yesterday the voltage in his house suddenly became unstable, and the violent voltage fluctuations burned out all the lights in the room, and the insurance was also burned, so he had to add an extra expense.

"It's really unlucky"

As he walked in the direction of his car with a bunch of things, he saw a boy standing next to his car in the distance, as if he was drawing something up.

"MD, these little cubs, hey! What are you doing! ”

John. Harrier hurried to the car, trying to teach the imp who rowed his car a lesson.

But unexpectedly, the boy did not hear the movement like the other children and turned away, still standing in place and leaning against his car.

When Harrier rushed to the boy, he found that the boy was a little familiar, and his heart suddenly felt uneasy.

The boy was wearing a pair of blue sweatpants, a red plaid hooded jacket, and a baseball cap under the hood, and his face was completely invisible from Harrier's perspective.

When Harrier stopped, the boy slowly raised his head, took off his hat that obscured his face, and the familiar green eyes and reddish golden-brown hair appeared in Harriel's eyes.

"Fuck off the imps"

As if he didn't know Jason at all, Harrier drove Jason away as he put his things in the car.

"How did that pedophile find me?"

Jason didn't care about Harrier's attitude, in fact it would be strange for Harrier to call his name, that old fritter.

Harrier didn't seem to hear Jason's question at all, and was still ready to drive away.

"You should know the police are looking for you."

Jason's slow words succeeded in breaking Harriel's mask.

"Nobody knows about me..."

Halfway through his words, Harrier realized that he had been tricked, he had always been disgusted with this little imp named Jason, he was completely different from those little ones who could please him with a little favor, and Jason even prevented a few children from transporting some special goods for him.

So when Himmler approached him and wanted to get a few "goods" of sufficient weight, he put Jason at the top of the list.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

Harrier retracted what he had just said, he had never used his true face to operate in Gotham, so the police shouldn't have found him.

"You can have your fingerprints in the store"

Jason stretched out his finger and drew on the white car cover, then pretended to blow the dust on his fingers...

Still silent, Harrier started the car and left the supermarket parking lot.

Looking at the distant car shadow, Jason pressed the communicator in his ear:

"You hear it, it's really him"

"Well, looks like I can pay a formal visit tonight."

"Me? Not us? ”

"Don't go tonight, beware of being recognized"

“... Okay"
