Before the war, there was always a calm as usual.

Until someone upsets the delicate balance that holds the world together, and puts an end to the order and rules that are fair or unfair.

Like the gunshot in Sarajevo, or the moustioed man who once dreamed of being a priest and then wanted to be a painter, stepped onto the podium of politics.

As a result, the order collapses, and the rules collapse!

A new round of reshuffle, a new round of fighting, vigorously unfolded, and intensified!

Only then will people suddenly realize that war is coming.

It's like when a storm is coming, everyone has seen all kinds of signs, such as gloomy dark clouds, oppressive atmosphere, and frightened birds fleeing.

But who would have thought that this is the loud horn of the war beast and the iron hoof!?

Even if Batman is the greatest detective in the world, even if he can find all the subtle clues that are difficult to detect, even if he is already following the clues and tracing the truth behind the darkness-

But it's still too late!

The beast that was watching in the shadows finally showed its sharp fangs.

…………

Let's turn the clock back to three days ago.

It all started with the theft of jewelry from the National Museum.

Originally scheduled to be on display for three days, one of the jewels from the Bulgari Vintage Collection was a mysterious theft of a delicate brooch created in 1962 with coloured yellow, pink and platinum diamonds.

The museum's access control system was not touched, and no suspicious figures were left in the video surveillance.

The beautiful brooch, which was so valuable, disappeared.

Just when the Gotham Police Department has no clue, Batman has launched his own investigation.

First of all, the museum's access control alarm system does not use the usual simple sound and light alarm.

Because the false alarm rate of the latter is too large, it is not suitable for museum venues with complex environments and many tourists.

Batman had infiltrated the National Museum and seen the building's layout and security plans.

The security company responsible for the security of the museum's exhibits happens to be the security company under the name of the Wayne Group.

They have multiple laser through-beam alarm detectors installed on the gates, while glass breaking alarms are located next to the windows.

Anyone who tries to break in by illegal means will trigger the laser at the door, and at the same time, the security will be automatically called.

And it's the same with breaking through a window.

This eliminates the possibility of thieves sneaking in, unless he or she can avoid all detectors, just like Batman.

The museum's surveillance system is a high-speed dome surveillance camera with low illumination and infrared night vision.

Thermal surveillance cameras are installed in all areas of the exhibition hall, and electronic alarm devices are installed next to the valuable counters for exhibits.

As soon as the exhibit leaves the glass frame with additional electronics inside, the system reacts automatically and immediately activates the alarm.

Coupled with the patrolling guards and the tight protection of the museum's perimeter, it is impossible for the average burglar to succeed.

But even with these security measures, the diamond brooch was still stolen.

This leaves the Gotham Police Department helpless, and they are not even sure who the culprit is.

It can only be like a swarm of headless flies, looking around for clues!

However, Batman quickly locked on to his target and told Gordon.

There aren't many thieves who can do this kind of thing without knowing it.

Catwoman, who has often appeared on the headlines of the Gotham Times lately, and is listed as an important target by Batman, is one of them!

It was a female snitch who used jewelry, cultural relics and other precious works of art as the target of theft.

Catwoman's stealing skills are world-class and can succeed in any heavily defended environment.

"She's very professional and she leaves almost no traces."

Bruce sat on the edge of his workbench in the Batcave, where he spends most of his time except going out or resting.

Looking at the screen, there are multiple case files called up from the Gotham Police Department.

"And how are you going to find this...... Catwoman? But judging by the name, she's a good match for you, Master Wayne. ”

Alfred stood behind Bruce, tea and pastries after dinner.

The old butler found that the heir of the Wayne family in front of him had become more and more obsessed with Batman's life.

Sometimes, he would rather stay in the Batcave than put on a suit and get into a sports car to enjoy the life of a young man.

Often when people start to become obsessed with something, it means that they will ignore the things around them that are worth cherishing.

And that's not what Alfred wants.

"Take a few precious pieces of jewelry from Wayne Manor and host a charity auction party tomorrow. She'll send it to the door herself! ”

Bruce thought about it for a moment, then replied.

After he went through Catwoman's file, he had a rough idea of how the jewel thief did things.

They steal jewelry and artifacts not just for money.

She has a unique aesthetic and collecting habits, in addition to taking away stolen goods and reselling them, she will occasionally keep a few pieces for her own collection.

This kind of behavior can actually reflect my personality traits.

"It's a good thing, at least Bruce Wayne doesn't have to stay in the cave anymore and can go out socializing and get out in the sun."

Alfred muttered quietly and turned to walk into the elevator.

…………

The next day, at 7 p.m.

Wayne Manor at night, the guests are like clouds, and the luxury cars are like rain, as if all the rich and famous people in Gotham have gathered.

As we all know, the Wayne family is not only one of the city's wealthy families, but also a witness to its long history.

This deep heritage, as well as a special status of respect.

makes the heir of the Wayne family have extraordinary appeal.

So, when I heard that Bruce Wayne was going to hold a charity donation party on his estate.

Many rich and famous people in Gotham responded enthusiastically, as if they couldn't wait to give generously.

After all, being able to attend the Wayne family's dinner and step into that magnificent manor that represents the dignity and honor of Gotham.

In a sense, this is equivalent to symbolizing oneself, officially entering the upper class of society, becoming the so-called social elite.

"Wayne Manor hasn't been this lively in a long time."

Alfred handed over the suit and bow tie in his hand, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

It can be seen that the old butler is in a good mood today.

"They're not here for the Wayne family, they're just trying to satisfy their vanity."

Bruce put on his bow tie, a little unimpressed.

The real purpose of this masquerade is just to find a certain female thief.

He took out a green diamond necklace from the safe that once belonged to Marie-Joseph, the last Empress of Italy.

A luxurious and rare sapphire ring that has sold for nearly $3 million at auction price.

A diamond panther bracelet worth $12 million that was once the favorite of King Edward VIII of England.

These three jewels alone are enough to make any thief in the world want to take them for himself.

They are all auction items tonight, and the money raised will be used to renovate the urban construction project of Nai Ho Island.

"Perhaps, but there aren't many things that have been passed down from the Wayne family, and that respectable honor and decency are the only ones your parents have retained."

Alfred said with a serious face.

He hoped that Bruce would cherish the honor, as it was one of the Wayne family's foundations in Gotham.

"I will not throw away the honor of my family."

Bruce dressed up and said softly, "My father once saved Gotham once, during the Great Depression. ”

"And I just want to save again! With a little more effort, Gotham can once again become a city of light full of hope! I am convinced of that. ”

Bruce walked out of the study and pushed open the door to the main hall.

Outside was already bustling, and the atmosphere was just right.

Schrowalski's crystal chandeliers shine brightly, the flames on delicate candelabras shine, and the sound of soothing and soft music flows through the air.

The guests who participated in this dance party were all well-dressed and brightly dressed.

As the owner of Wayne Manor, Bruce has a faint smile on his face, and he maintains his persona as usual.

And those deep eyes roamed around, looking for a target for tonight.
