The yellow body of water churned for a moment, and after a burst of bubbles, the killer crocodile completely lost its trace

Barbara gritted her teeth and sat against the wall with her waist clutched, Roy walked up to her and held out a hand: "Are you okay?" ”

Barbara took his hand and stood up: "In addition to multiple abrasions, loose bones?" Yes, it's good. ”

She stood up and staggered two steps under her feet, barely steady, and with Roy's support, she managed to hold on and not fall.

"You know I can carry you out." Roy Road.

Barbara snorted, "Sister, don't you think I need to be hugged?" ”

Roy smiled slightly: "Looks? Quite like that. ”

Barbara was about to say something, but noticed that Roy's face suddenly changed, and the air seemed to cool down with the atmosphere. She hurriedly shut her mouth, tacitly alert, and looked around to see if anything was unusual.

In the pipe above the two of them, a majestic black figure jumped down in the air, and the huge black cloak spread out like an overwhelming air, hunted in the falling wind.

Batman jumped down in front of the two of them, his gaze like a sharp blade. Of course, those who are familiar with him will know that this is by no means the same as that he is hostile to you, and Batman will release an awe-inspiring aura when he looks at anyone, which makes people feel oppressed.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Looks like you're for the same purpose, right?" Barbara said, "You're here to save the kid, aren't you?" ”

Batman glanced around and asked, "Killer crocodile?" ”

"Ran away." Roy gestured to the side of the water, "But I've left a tracker and transmitter on him, and he should lead us to the hostage's location." ”

There was a pause. He added: "The child is not here, and we suspect that the killer crocodile was supposed to hide the child here." But then I moved for some reason, maybe I felt that this place was not hidden enough and too easy to find. It looks like he's never had enough blood. ”

Batman frowned: "No." Killer crocodiles never learn to be smart. ”

"Like he never kidnaps?"

"That's a suspicion." Batman admitted, "Killer Crocodile's IQ is not enough to complete a complete kidnapping, there are too many uncertainties for him to handle." It's not his style. ”

"That's what I thought, too." Roy said, "Someone is behind his back to guide him and teach him a new way, like a military advisor." Unfortunately, we don't know anything about this person so far, and we can't even prove whether the speculation that someone helped him is true......"

Speaking of which. There was a beep from the headphones of his helmet.

"Director Gordon's phone call." Roy explained, answering the phone, "Director Gordon? ”

On the other end of the line, Gordon asked, "How are you on that end?" Any clues? ”

"It's a little bit, but there's not much progress yet. What's new? ”

"I think, yes." Gordon stayed in the victim's living room with a busy group of other police officers, staring at the TV screen and saying, "The kidnapper who kidnapped the kidnapper brought the videotape." At the same time. There are also demands for ransom. Come to the innings, right away. ”

"We'll be there shortly."

Roy took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and turned to Batman, "The Killer Crocodile sent a video asking for ransom." Batgirl and I will rush back to the bureau now, and I'll let you know what happens. ”

It didn't take long for Roy and Barbara to arrive at the police station.

Director Gordon played the video on his personal computer in his office.

The scene on the screen is an extremely dimly lit room. There wasn't a single light in the room, and the light came from somewhere else next door. The light filtered through the dirty, cobwebbed windows, barely illuminating a corner.

The camera pans to the corner. An unkempt boy was huddled in that corner, despair and helplessness written on his face, tears faintly visible in the blurred resolution.

"Gotham Police Department idiots and parents of children, listen up." A low, hoarse voice came from the screen, "This kid's life depends on the following two numbers - a million dollars and twelve hours, don't try to make any unnecessary attempts." If I notice the slightest bit of uncooperation on your part, I'm sure you'll find this kid's body 'everywhere' all over Gotham. ”

The video ends there, leaving a savage roar at the end.

"You have twelve hours to prepare the money, remember, twelve hours! One minute wrong, and I'll bite off one of this little bunny's fingers! Twelve hours later, someone was sent to bring the money to the designated location, and only the child's parents could come in person! You know I've got a good nose, and if any extra strips dare to play any tricks or make me smell a little bit of a bat...... You know the consequences. ”

That's the end of the recording.

"It's the voice of a killer crocodile." "He didn't even pretend." ”

Gordon took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "The FBI personally sent someone to cooperate with the Gotham police in this case, UU reads the book ww.uuanhu.com) But in this case, the FBI representative proposes to accept the opinion of the killer crocodile." Their opinion was that the life of the ambassador's child could not be risked under any circumstances. And as a representative of the Gotham Police Department, I personally agree with his approach. ”

Indeed, this is a conservative but sensible choice.

"So I guess Director, you mean to let us withdraw?" Roy asked.

Gordon said: "We feel sorry for the same, but this is the best solution. I suggest that we leave this case alone and leave it to us to deal with, it is nothing more than a handover issue, and continuing the investigation may only anger the crocodile and lead to undesirable consequences. ”

"Well, listen to you, Director." Roy simply agreed.

Barbara followed Roy out of the police station and asked, "I guess you won't really just leave it at that, right?" I understand you, and you never accept such conditions. ”

"Of course not, but we have to be ready." Roy said, "Whoever is teaching killer crocodiles new methods, he's very good." I just checked the tracker and transmitter signals and both are missing. I don't think killer crocodiles have what it takes to spot them on their own. In the same way, with the IQ of the killer crocodile, it is impossible to guarantee that the ransom handover will be fine, and there must be someone else who told him to do it safely. ”

"Then the trail is broken again." Barbara sighed regretfully, "What's next?" ”

"Find new clues." Roy said without thinking, standing on the side of the road and reaching out to stop the taxi, "Go back and study the video." The footage sent by the killer crocodile probably contains some other clues waiting to be discovered. "To be continued.
