Chapter 5: Wayne Manor

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Batman did not respond to this friendly greeting. He just stood there, shooting straight at him with a cold and sharp gaze, and those who were staring at him couldn't help but have the illusion of a steel knife on his neck. Batman in the dark, the figure is so terrifying.

He didn't speak, but the look in his eyes seemed to imprison you.

Roy said lightly, "Don't be so serious. I didn't bring anyone because I didn't want to arrest you. Strictly speaking, we're peers, and I just want to see their amazing Batman, that's all. ”

After a pause, he asked again, "Why the bat?" ”

Still no reply. But in a few seconds, the high-pitched engine sound was already roaring, and the dark armored car loaded with heavy dark black armor and wheels three times the width of ordinary wheels stopped behind Batman like a spiritual car.

Batman silently turned around and jumped inside the armored car.

Before the sliding doors closed, Batman finally replied, "Don't try to catch me again." ”

After saying that, the tongue of fire on the rear of the pitch-black armored car suddenly erupted, and the engine let out a cheerful roar, carrying the heavy guy away.

The next day, Wayne Manor.

The Wayne family, a big family with hundreds of years of history, has an incomparably important position in the entire history of Gotham. Today, it is not difficult to see the strength and history of this family from this ancient traditional aristocratic manor.

The traditional aristocratic architectural style, perhaps centuries-old white bricks, is a silent witness to the Wayne family. The once thriving Wayne family is now left with only one last member, Bruce Wayne. More than ten years ago, Bruce's parents were robbed when a family of three walked into an alley after watching a movie, and his father Thomas Wayne and mother Martha Wayne were both shot and killed, leaving only their only son, Bruce Wayne. From then on, Alfred Pennyworth, a loyal old butler, took on the role of guardian and raised Bruce.

The shooting of the Waynes was also a sensational case in Gotham City, and the alley where they were killed was even renamed "Crime Alley" because of this case. The Waynes are one of the few philanthropists in Gotham City who insist on putting Gotham's building above their own interests, and their killing is a further accent to Gotham's darkness. The prisoner has not been caught so far, and some people have suspected that this case is a conspiracy disguised as a robbery by some bigwigs who secretly see the upright Wayne couple unpleasantly, but after so many years, this speculation has not been confirmed.

Roy Green was sitting on the soft sofa in the reception room of Wayne Manor, and the luxurious leather sofa could sink the whole person into it, which was quite comfortable.

Alfred, the old butler, stood respectfully to the side, while the owner of the great manor, Bruce Wayne, was now sitting on the sofa opposite him in a wide dressing gown, with his legs crossed arrogantly.

As a gentleman, Bruce Wayne's body should be said to be quite strong, and his handsome face and inexhaustible assets make him easily an invincible veteran in the love field. Correspondingly, now his image can only be seen by two words: decadence.

Yes, he looked like a hanger, with Erlang's legs crossed, his face was full of sleepiness and impatience, and he almost didn't write the thought of "hurry up and finish and continue to hi" on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Green." Bruce said.

"Mr. Wayne."

"I heard you're a special adviser to the Gotham Police Department? I don't know what you're looking for me, but whatever it is, please be as quick as you can, because I have a lot of things to do, you know, it's not that easy to run a big business. ”

Speaking of this, he showed a strange smile, and that expression made it hard for you to believe that he really had something to do, and he was going to be busy with some extravagant games of the rich second generation.

Roy smiled and asked, "Mr. Wayne, why do you deliberately show the image of a rich second generation who you are not at all?" ”

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Green. As you can see, I'm a rich second generation born with a golden spoon, and I'm proud of it. ”

"Please forgive me for doing a little homework before I came to visit." Roy said, "As far as I know, you're particularly interested in philanthropy. ”

"That's natural, people like us have to be careful about our public image, right?"

"You also visit the orphanage on a personal basis, and the number of times is enough to prove that you really care about the situation of the orphans and not just for the sake of personal image."

"Of course, because I'm also an orphan, we can easily relate to each other."

"As far as I know, you're not very interested in the life circle of the rich second generation. You almost never appear at parties, banquets, and revelries, and the lowest attendance rate has become your calling card in this circle. So allow me to speculate that you are not really interested in such a luxurious life at all, and that there is something else that takes up most of your life and that you do not have time to pay attention to these inconsequential things. ”

Bruce's attitude was a little restrained, and a little sharpness was released. He asked, "What the hell are you here for?" Mr. Green? ”

Roy smiled and sat up straight, "Then I'll be straight, Mr. Wayne." I've always felt that Batman has so many advanced technological gadgets, and even heavy equipment such as cars and planes that we have never seen before, and he must have a reliable financial source very reliable. And when I saw him in person last night, although he was wearing his costume, his age between twenty and forty was not something difficult to see.

And then there are some of my previous thoughts about Batman. Why bats? Why black? Is there any special point in choosing to only go out in the dark?

"My guess about this is that Batman should have been born on a really bad night, most likely a crime. And that incident should have caused him permanent psychological trauma, because it seems to me that dressing up as a bat and going out in the middle of the night is scary, and from a medical point of view, he should have some mental problems. ”

Bruce laughed, "So, Mr. Green, do you think I'm a neurotic who dresses up as a mammal and goes out to forage every night?" ”

Roy shrugged, "Not long after I moved to Gotham, I know that you witnessed the death of both of your parents as a child, and if you are really Batman, it is consistent with my previous inferences. ”

"Yes, the death of my parents is indeed a big case in the history of Gotham. But because of that, I have to be a violent psychopath? ”

Roy ignored it and continued to himself, "Also, I heard that you have been missing for a few years and are said to have traveled the world to experience life?" ”

"Yes. My parents died and I needed to adjust, so I chose to travel the world to adjust my mood. Bruce said.

"I've studied the batarang used by Batman, which is highly concealed and extremely sharp, but it also requires a lot of user techniques." Roy said, "I speculate that Batman must have received professional training in the nature of an Eastern ninja to learn such a skill." And as far as I know, no one in Gotham City who has the financial means other than you has spent long enough in the East to learn such a unique skill. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy stared at Bruce as if he had eyes that pierced through his soul power, hoping to see even the slightest uneasiness or wavering in him. But unfortunately, no.

If the person in front of him is really Batman, then he can really say that he has the will to "Tarzan collapses in front of him and his face does not change", and he did not show the slightest panic in such a situation.

"You must have made a mistake, Mr. Green." Bruce said calmly, "I'm not Batman, and a lot of times when Batman appears, I have an alibi. Also, while Batman may really have a source of funds, he can also be a killer or ninja hired by a rich man, right? In that case, all the rich people in Gotham could be the funders behind Batman, wouldn't they? ”

Roy smiled indifferently: "Of course, what I said is just a personal conjecture, and there is no actual evidence." ”

After speaking, he changed the topic: "I like the design of your manor, this wall clock is so beautiful, I like it very much." ”

Bruce's gaze followed him to the wall clock against the wall.

"yes, I heard it was left by my great-grandfather." Bruce said.

"Don't you think there's always a hint of cold wind blowing towards us from this direction?" Roy said nonchalantly, approaching the wall clock.

Bruce and Alfred, the butler on the side, secretly exchanged glances and said, "Psychological effect." ”

"And what about this piano?" Roy crouched down, leaned his head close to the keys and said, "You don't look like a person who likes to play the piano, do you?" Mr. Wayne? ”

"Oh, of course. It was also left by the ancestors, so it can be regarded as a cultural relic. ”

"That's weird." "Since you don't play the piano," Roy said, "there are a few keys that seem to be pressed all the time." ”

Such a keen observation, Bruce secretly evaluated in his heart, and he was also vigilant.

"Hypothetical, I say hypothetical." Roy turned his head and said to the two of them, "Let's say there's a spacious cave behind the wall clock, then it's normal for a little cold air to leak out of the gap, right?" ”

"I don't understand what you're trying to say, Mr. Green." Bruce is colored.

The old butler Alfred's face was already a little unnatural.

Roy smiled, took a deep breath and stood up, "I think I'll go here today to say goodbye." All of a sudden, I didn't want to know who Batman was. ”

"Oh?" Bruce asked, "Why?" ”

"Because I remember, one of my closest friends, she reminded me of something." Roy said, "It's better to hide something in the dark." ”
