As soon as Roy returned to the stronghold and took off his equipment, he received a call from Director Gordon, urgently notifying him of a murder and asking him to go to the scene quickly.

Of course he knew where the murder scene was, in fact he had just returned from there.

Tonight, the Winged Knight cracked down on an illegal arms smuggling by the gangster Penguin, and a fish slipped through the water filtration plant where the munitions were stored. Before Roy could find him, someone else found him and beat him to death in a rather brutal way.

Roy had already surveyed the scene at the first time, but he still had to do it.

Hop on a taxi and arrive at the scene, where the body has been covered. Roy stepped forward through the blockade, squatted down and lifted the cloth to take a look, and asked casually, "What's the situation?" ”

"The deceased's name is Mason? Brad. Director Gordon said, "He died not long ago. The cause of death, I think you can probably see it, was beaten to death. Not far from here, we found the gunmen who had fainted, and one guy hung from the ceiling, which could be thought to be done by Batman or his men."

Harvey with a big belly? Detective Bullock walked over with the cigar he had held in his mouth as if he had been born in his mouth: "The murderer is clear, Director." ”

Gordon raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Who is it? ”

"The vigilante who calls himself the Winged Knight." "Earlier, someone happened to pass by across the street and saw him coming in and out of one of the entrances at the top of the water treatment plant and took a picture. ”

As he spoke, he handed over his phone, and sure enough, there was a slightly blurry photo. By the moonlight, I could barely make out the outfit.

Gordon frowned: "But Batman's people don't kill. ”

"Who knows? Maybe a momentary miss? Bullock shrugged, "It couldn't be more obvious, that guy went in and knocked down everyone in the arms hiding outpost, and then ran away here." He caught up with the victim and beat him to death."

"That's not right." Roy interrupted coldly.

"Huh?" Bullock looked at him, "And what do you disagree with?" ”

He lifted the cloth covering the corpse, pointed at him and said, "These scars, bruises, if you are an expert, you can see through each scar how they came to be, through what angle and with what kind of moves. Every wound on the victim's body reveals to us a fact that contradicts Detective Bullock's theory. ”

"I don't see anything." Gordon admitted.

"Here, the back of the hand joint." Roy raised the victim's arm and said, "What kind of move do you think caused such an injury?" ”

Facing the two people who were dazed, Roy personally demonstrated: "I think it should be the victim who attacked with such a punch and our attacker used the technique of using force to fight, probably this move to counterattack, so he left such a wound." ”

"So even if you're right," Bullock said, spreading his hands, "where does that contradict my theory?" ”

Roy said: "This is only the most obvious one, there are more injuries to prove, most of the moves used by the attackers are light and agile, and many of the movements have the hidden routines of using strength, most of these moves are people who are naturally delicate but dexterous Well, it is a woman's way of fighting." If you do a little research, you will find that there is always a difference between the moves that women tend to use and men when fighting, even when they are facing head-on, women's moves will always avoid brute force and hard fighting, and pay more attention to speed and tricks. ”

Director Gordon took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "So, you mean to say that the person who did it is a woman?" ”

Roy nodded: "Looks like that's it." ”

Early the next morning, an unexpected visitor came to visit Roy and Barbara's apartment.

"Bruce!?" Barbara screamed in surprise as she answered the door. Did she meet Bruce? Wayne had been in the house for so long, and the billionaire didn't seem to have a record of coming to her door in person, and her brain had a powerful ability to remember.

"Come in and sit?"

Bruce smiled slightly, "No, thanks, Barbara." I'm coming to Roy, is he there? ”

"Oh, of course." Barbara shouted into the room, "Roy? The boss is looking for you. ”

Roy came out of the house, also a little surprised: "Bruce? What's the matter? ”

"Your poison, are you okay?" Bruce asked.

Barbara said unexpectedly: "Poison? What poison? ”

Roy's face changed slightly: "Very good, I'm fine." ”

"Roy has a residual Titan toxin in his body." Bruce explained to Barbara, "Looks like he didn't tell you? ”

"Tell me? No, not at all. Is there such a thing? Why are you?"

"I said, I'm fine, it's fine." Roy interrupted her unceremoniously, "So there's no need to say anything like that. ”

Bruce took a deep breath: "I've heard, you ambushed one of the Copotes' arsenals last night. One man died. ”

Roy stared at him coldly, "You think I did it?" ”

"I'm not here to accuse you of anything." Bruce said sincerely, "I know that the titan toxin can have an effect on a person's sanity, and can have a very bad reaction that makes it impossible to restrain one's behavior. If it was really you who did it, I would say I wouldn't blame you for that, because that's also my responsibility. You blocked that poison dart for me, and the person who was hit by the titan toxin should have been mine, and I am grateful for that, so if it was really you who did it, tell me and I will find a way to solve your problem. ”

"Thank you." Roy said coldly, "But no. All indications at the scene are that the deceased died at the hands of a female killer, not me. ”

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

"On the other hand, though I have known for a long time, Mr. Wayne, that you are in the habit of the whole world," Roy continued, "but this matter of mine, it is my decision, my responsibility, not yours. My thoughts were pure, simple, you were Batman, and I was - to tell you the truth - just an inexperienced newcomer. If it had been you who had been hit by Titan Venom out of control, I probably wouldn't have been able to handle it, so I chose to eat the dart for you, and it was my decision. ”

Bruce stared at him seriously for a moment and said, "I see." You're doing a great job. ”

With that, he turned and left.

Barbara turned to Roy: "What's the deal with Titan Venom?" I thought you had already used the antidote? ”

"I've used it." Roy said calmly, "But Bruce said that my physique may be a little different from others in some ways, so the antidote has removed most of the Titan Venom and left a small amount of residue." ”

Barbara showed a worried expression: "That"

"But I'm fine, okay?" Roy was impatient.

"I'm just concerned about you."

"Or maybe you just don't believe I can control it."

"I didn't, of course I believe you" After a pause, Barbara asked weirdly, "What's wrong with you?" Roy? You feel weird. ”

Roy took a breath and seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally saying, "You know, that night, I told you that I wasn't ready to go any further in our happy partnership, and that I was more than happy to keep our relationship as it was. However, as the days go by, I find it more and more difficult to 'maintain the status quo' that I think of. Even earlier, I should have noticed that it was hard for me to see you as simply as my assistant or as a guru. ”

Barbara was obviously unprepared for him to say such a thing abruptly, and her expression was slightly flustered.

"So, what I want you to know is"

Roy opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, but finally changed his words, "Your trust is important to me. ”

Barbara, of course, saw that what he was trying to say at first didn't seem to be the case, but didn't debunk it, and turned around with a strange look and a "hmm".

"Alright, now, let's catch this violent vigilante." Roy changed his tone and changed the subject.
