Chapter 16: Begin to dive in
Bruce was invited to Himmler's private party in a villa in the suburbs, which was ......
Jason looked out of the window at the courtyard outside, and after looking at it for a long time, he said with great certainty:
"It's a familiar place"
"I'm sure I'm going to bring you here, hide it so you don't get discovered"
Himmler's address to him aroused his suspicions, and it was the villa in Chris's name. So he brought Jason over to make sure.
Jason looked out from the car, Bruce's luxury car windows were specially treated, you could see the outside from the inside, but you couldn't see the inside from the outside, even so Bruce always reminded him to hide it.
“... I said, wouldn't it be good if you just took me in? If your own goods run away and appear in the hands of another target, he will definitely find a way to kidnap you immediately."
Jason didn't understand why Bruce was so cautious, and in his opinion, even if there were no other conditions, he was a big breakthrough.
Bruce glanced at Jason and deeply understood the meaning of the words "a child";
"You're not his only commodity, he probably didn't even see you, the person who went to pick you up that day was probably Chris's men, if I'm not wrong in my guess, Himmler's ambition is probably quite large, and there is probably a need in the political circles so he can have such a close relationship with the political circles, deliberately taking you there will be counterproductive, and it is even likely that they will realize that we are likely to know something that we should not know, so that we will both be included in the target of elimination"
“... Remove? ... Even if you're the richest man in Gotham? ”
“..... To "
"Why? Controlling you couldn't be better."
“..... There are 6 child victims, you know."
"Hmm"
"I suspect that in addition to us, there is also a force that is probably quite powerful involved in this matter, and their methods of action may be a little unprofessional and therefore detected, so it should be quite simple for these people to dispose of the corpse, and this kind of thing has become a hasty throwing of the corpse, and if we expose it, I am afraid that we will be considered to be the people of that force."
"Who? If it's strong, why not just kill them? ”
“.... We are not qualified to judge others, so both the forces and our purpose are to find evidence."
“.... Well... So, that force found the clue and threw the corpse in order to snuff out the clue? ”
"You're smart, here, hide well"
Jason meowed and hid in the dead corner of the car, almost at the same time Bruce's extended luxury car also stopped, and soon the door was opened, and Bruce walked out of the car with the demeanor of a Gotham baby, and after a brief greeting to Himmler, he turned his head and said a few words to Alfred.
"Then I'll pick you up after dinner, Master Bruce."
Alfred drove away from the villa quickly, and after leaving the villa for some distance, Jason finally couldn't hold back his doubts:
“... Is it okay to leave him there alone? ”
Jason lives at the bottom of Gotham, and he knows quite well what people will become for the sake of profit, if they can't talk about it.... Unless Bruce intends to reveal his identity as Batman.... Otherwise..
"Don't worry, Master Jason, Master Dick has already gotten in"
“..... Can he? ”
Thinking about the impression that the noisy big boy gave him, no matter from which angle it was written, the word "unreliable" was written, and Jason expressed his great concern.
"Of course, he's Robin."
Jason didn't say anything about this, and that's the last thing he wants to admit.
"Don't worry, he's Batman..."
Well, this one is more convincing than the last.
Bruce walked into the hall with the mask that Himmler had handed him, and the banquet had already begun, and all the men and women in the room wore masks with a strong Venetian style, and his one was no exception.
For Batman, judging a person's identity no longer needs to rely on that well-known face, he easily found the owner of the house in the crowd - Chris. Estor. He was also accompanied by two people who looked like attendants, and guessed from the physique that it should be the age of a teenager, and it is difficult to determine whether it is a man or a woman by the skeleton at this age.
Himmler walked up to him with a mask studded with flowers, and seemed to have spoken something to Chris, who said something to an owl-masked attendant next to him, who then approached him with a few glasses of champagne. From the way he walks, he can be sure that he is a boy, and he is not more than 18 years old.........
The squire walked up to him, and Bruce rightfully brought a glass of champagne from the squire's plate, after which the squire turned away and went on to serve the others.
Bruce raised his glass and gestured to the two men over there, before continuing to wander around the crowd.
Relying on his keen insight, even in the dim light, Bruce recognized a few people, just as he and Gordon had predicted, there would be subordinates of the political bigwigs.......
Bruce knew that Himmler was holding this private party to give an assessment of the important people in their circle, so he probably had most of the people he was looking for......
After chatting casually with a few women who came over to talk to him, Bruce stood beside a pillar without a trace:
"No small children"
Simple words, low voice, in this noisy environment, a sentence that would be missed if you are not careful, came from behind Bruce.
Bruce smiled and raised his hand to a person who greeted him, and the voice behind him still said to himself:
"And.... Congressman Lawrence's secretary in "
"Himmler is coming"
Bruce put the goblet to his lips and whispered a word as he saw Himmler walking towards him.
A blonde squire in an owl mask walked out from behind the pillar and accidentally bumped into Bruce, a glass of champagne that had been poured a little too much champagne jumped out slightly in the impact and splashed on Bruce's high-end suit, the squire apologized and hurriedly pulled out the handkerchief he was carrying to wipe it for him.
Bruce smiled gently, took the squire's hand, took the handkerchief from his hand, and sent the squire away, wiping it casually.
"I'm sorry, but the squire seems to have done something bad"
Himmler had already come to Bruce and had seen everything he had just seen.
“... It doesn't matter, it's just some wine."
"Do you like it?"
"What?"
"That squire just now"
He could see Bruce's movements just now.
"Oh..... Yes.... If only I could be a little younger..."
Bruce, who seemed to have finally reacted, replied ambiguously.
"Really.... By the way, are you free next week? ”
"Of course"
"I'm going to have a party on my private island next week, and I'd like to invite you officially."
Himmler's invitation is naturally in Bruce's mind, the cooperation project has begun to enter the next stage, he knows that Himmler will not endure for too long, if he waits until the next stage begins, Wayne Enterprises and Pisk Group need to issue a joint statement, if Himmler cannot change his decision before then, this announcement will directly determine whether the project will eventually develop in the direction of civilian or military. Once it is announced, it is bound to be impossible to use in the military, so Bruce knows that Himmler will definitely start to make moves in the near future.
“... Oh?? What kind of party is it? ”
“... It's a special party for those of us who love children."
Himmler's answer was entirely unexpected.
“.... Mr. Himmler really likes children."
"Isn't Mr. Bruce too?"
“... Indeed, then I am very much looking forward to that day."
"I promise, that day will surely leave you with a perfect memory"
Looking at Himmler's departing figure, Bruce put away the handkerchief in his hand and called Alfred..........
