Barbara found herself entering another phase in her life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As a girl who works in the Gotham Library, Barbara's life will theoretically not have too many twists and turns, too many troubles - except for some superficial boys or men who will talk to her from time to time, everything is going on in a calm and orderly manner. In the eyes of many, she is the best librarian.

But Barbara knew that this life was not what she wanted most. Even though her father, a police officer, had stubbornly insisted that she be kept out of contact with Gotham's crime and corruption, she still believed that her position should not be just that of an ordinary librarian - even the more popular kind.

What she needs is not to be visible, but to live a more meaningful life.

In the past few days, Batman, the dark knight of Gotham, has taken the initiative to carry out crazy attacks on various gangsters in Gotham. Among them, the power of several supervillains such as Toy Man, Shark King, Crocodile Man and even Riddler Man has been severely damaged, and several of them have been sent to Arkham by Batman himself. This caused a small storm in Gotham and attracted the attention of people from all walks of life. Some media have even conducted a sample survey among ordinary citizens. Among them, the vast majority of respondents felt that this was a good thing. And Batman's unconventional way of acting is also widely believed to be his revenge for the raging gangsters in the days before he left, as well as a strong statement.

Barbara's father, though, didn't think so. As the chief of the Gotham Police Department, James Gordon is tied up in the police station these days by all kinds of things related to Batman, as well as various crime scenes. Batman's death rumors, Batman's disappearance, Batman's return, Batman's show, Batman's havoc on gangster turf...... The funniest thing is that one of the biggest gangsters in Gotham, their boss Maroni, who once threw sulfuric acid on a two-faced man, actually called the police to say that Batman was going to kill him. Can you imagine that ridiculous scene!

Anyway, because of these things, Barbara's father even missed two consecutive Friday movie nights that were supposed to be a movie for the whole family. It made her very unhappy. Then, she also felt that her opportunity had come.

After pestering her father for a while, Barbara managed to get an errand from her father about a case related to her father's case.

Even if Batman is a hero and savior in the minds of many Gotham people, his actions are abusive lynching after all. Acting as a judge, jury, or even executioner is clearly against the law. Therefore, under the impetus of Maroni and others, the Gotham Police Department, which has always maintained a tacit understanding with Batman, is under a lot of pressure and has to do something to express its position. Among the various measures against Batman, Barbara's father took the milder and more time-prolonging kind: placing cameras in some of the main places in Gotham.

That's why James Gordon sat in the position of Chief of the Gotham Police and stayed on it for so many years. This measure is not actually aimed at Batman at all, but rather hinders the actions of Maroney, as well as some other gangsters and even supervillains. But Maroni and they can't accuse the Gotham Police Department of doing nothing, they have spent a lot of money!

Barbara took over from her father the development of the cameras' surveillance system.

Camera footage can be manipulated, and live streaming can also be hijacked, which has happened to the Gotham Police Department more than once. So James Gordon was determined to ask someone he could trust to watch the surveillance system. But most of the people he trusts don't have that ability, and her daughter is okay. He remembered that Barbara had a decent ability at computers.

It's not bad, it's top-notch. In fact, Barbara is a super hacker!

It wouldn't take Barbara much time to get such a system right. Besides, she didn't have to write all the code, she just needed to check the main body of the system that her father had people write, enrich the details, and then add the anti-hijacking effect part. It was more of a physical task for her than a mental one. However, she didn't expect that the first person to borrow this system to see the abnormal situation was not her father, nor the other police officers at the Gotham Police Department, but herself.

Here's the thing. After the system is done, it is natural to test it first. As a result of this test, she found a place worthy of her attention, or rather someone worthy of her attention—her neighbor.

Now the place where Barbara lives was picked by her and her father. Considering the security of Gotham, it took a lot of time and effort to choose a relatively quiet and safe environment, an apartment building located in another neutral area. Although it is said to be a bit far away from the Gotham Police Station, considering that the Gotham Police Station can be the scene of accidents from time to time, it doesn't matter if it is far away.

I've lived there for more than half a year now, and there have been no accidents or anything like that, and Barbara is still very satisfied with this apartment building. But to get down to business, her neighbor.

Barbara's apartment was on the fifth floor, and the entire fifth floor was occupied only by hers until a few days ago. The new neighbor who had two empty apartments on the whole floor, but chose the room opposite her door, didn't say hello or visit her, and never went out after moving in, so that Barbara had only seen the silhouette of the other party, and never saw the front. For Barbara, who has a good cop as a father, this is not difficult to judge. When the moving company hired by the new neighbor at the door moved boxes of items, it left some dust on the ground at the door. When the movers come in and out, they are covered with shoe prints. And after a few days, the shoe prints are still those shoe prints, and they have not changed at all. And if Barbara hadn't gone to the police station one night to look for her father, and when she came back, she happened to see the light on the opposite door, and she would have thought that the new neighbor hadn't moved in yet!

The new neighbor hasn't been out of the house, which isn't a healthy thing, but it has nothing to do with Barbara. Just paying attention to it, she didn't pay any more attention. But when she tests the Gotham Police Department's well-established system, Barbara knows something is wrong when she sees her new neighbor coming back from outside early in the morning from a camera footage at the entrance of the apartment building, but still hasn't left footprints on the dusty ground at the door.

Did this float or did he not go through the main gate at all? And when she came home early in the morning, after Barbara had watched the footage several times, checking out that the other occupants in the apartment had found no other possible matching silhouettes, she was sure that something was wrong with her new neighbor.

Knocking on the side from my father's side, I learned that on the day the new neighbor came home in the morning, it happened that in the second half of the night, there was a three-way scuffle between Batman, Riddler and Gotham police. As a result, the Riddler's men were scattered, and the Riddler himself was captured by Batman in Arkham. Don't......

Your new neighbor is a Riddler's henchman?

Thinking of this, Barbara felt that her opportunity had come.
