On that night, the Winged Knight had inflicted countless wounds on criminals and broken an unknown number of bones, but none of them could give even the slightest account of the bishop's whereabouts. At the same time, he continues to mingle with the gang as "Tommy", trying to ask all parties for any clues about the bishop.

Nothing.

For the gangster system established by the bishop, it was like nothing was happening. He attends the weekly meetings by remote intercom, and every organization runs under his supervision, but no one knows where he is.

Regarding Barbara's treatment, Mr. Lucius also admitted that he had encountered "technical difficulties" that could not be solved for a while. However, Barbara has been in a state of nervous transmission since the last time she lost control, and she was unconscious for two days.

When Roy is getting more and more impetuous, clues come from unexpected channels.

Arkham Asylum.

The guard opened the iron door of a hospital room for Roy, signaling that he could enter, and at the same time instructed, "You only have five minutes." ”

The door clicked shut. Roy pulled out his chair and sat down across from the prisoner.

Little James? Gordon, his red hair still neatly combed, and his eyes under thick spectacle lenses were shadowed so that it was impossible to see what was going on in his mind.

"You said you had a clue to tell me." Roy calmly asked, "Tell me, what's it?" ”

Little James laughed dryly: "Actually, I thought I was going to tell my sister." You're her detective roommate, aren't you? ”

"Something happened to Barbara, so she can't come for now." Roy said lightly, "What clues tell me it's the same." ”

"It doesn't matter." James Jr. shrugged and said, "We're still allowed to watch TV news here." Two days ago, a guy named Bailey? Fran's man died, did you see that? ”

"I didn't pay attention." Roy said, "What's wrong with this person?" ”

"I don't know." James Jr. said, "Of course you don't pay attention to this kind of thing, you've been too busy lately." Bailey? Fran is a business tycoon. Two days ago he was found in his private villa with a syringe on his arm and a small amount of drugs in a syringe. It didn't take long for the police to close the case, as it did appear to be an accident involving a drug overdose. Nothing worth investigating. ”

"So what makes you think there's something wrong with him?" Roy asked.

Little James said, "Last time, after the guy you called 'Bishop' released me, he gave me a mission - to kill this guy named Bailey? Fran's people. But you know, I never take orders from anyone, so I didn't put this on my agenda. ”

"So you think this case was also done by the bishop's people?"

"I think. This is a possibility. "If you can find out who is responsible for this case, maybe you will catch the Bishop's man, and maybe even understand why he wants this Mr. Fran to die, and that will bring you one step closer to your goal, right?" ”

Roy frowned: "Assuming what you said is true, why are you helping me?" ”

James Jr. smiled dryly again.

"Someone tried to use it as a weapon to hurt my sister." "Don't get me wrong," he said, "of course I'm more than happy to hurt my dear sister." But what I couldn't accept was that the man thought I could be a weapon that he could play with at any time. So I would be very happy if I could see my sister fighting to the death with him. ”

Whatever the reason. Little James? What Gordon said seemed to be telling the truth. Roy found out all the relevant information about the Belifrang case from the GCPD and quickly verified it.

In the photograph of the scene, Mr. Bailifuran's left hand is hanging weakly, and the sleeve of his arm is half-rolled up. As James Jr. said, there was still a little drug left in the syringe on his arm.

But the suspicion is so clearly placed here that no one notices.

The coffee machine on the table next to the deceased is placed on the left, and the handle of the coffee cup is also facing to the left. The notepad next to the landline of the telephone is also placed on the left-hand side, and it is obvious that he often answers the phone with his right hand and takes notes with his left hand. With just two photos, Roy could easily tell that Mr. Furlong was left-handed. However, Mr. Fran's syringe was inserted into his left arm, which meant that he was injecting himself with his right hand.

These findings tell Roy an obvious fact - little James? Gordon may well be right. The bishop probably really wanted this man dead, and by finding out who was responsible for this murder, he was one step closer to the bishop.

In the afternoon of the same day, he rushed to the deceased's home. Visited his widow.

Madame Fran had just experienced the grief of her husband, and her whole face was pale and bloodless, her body was thin, and her eyelids were so tired that it was as if she had not closed her eyes for several days. However, hearing that there is a detective advisor at the Gotham Police Station who has doubts about the cause of her husband's death is the only remaining consolation for her.

"yes, I think it's incredible." She said. "Although Bailey has taken drugs, I know this, but he has completely cut off these harmful things. He's been off drug for two years, and I've been with him through the hardest time, so he shouldn't have any reason to relapse...... Alas, but who can say for sure? Maybe it's true, as the police told me, it's not surprising when an addict relapses. ”

"Don't make that conclusion, ma'am." "I did find some suspicions in your husband's case, and I now suspect that someone may have murdered your husband and disguised the scene to look like he had accidentally overdosed. Now recall that there was anything in your husband's life that deserved someone to kill him? Or will his position and position hinder someone's path and make him want to get rid of him? ”

Madame Fran sighed and said, "It is impossible to climb to Bailey's position without making enemies. I think he must have caused a lot of trouble, and there should be a lot of people who are suspicious of his life, and it is almost impossible to determine an identity. But ......"

Madame Fran stopped talking, and Roy added, "It's okay to go down to the smallest detail." ”

"Okay." "Before he died, he suspected that someone was following him and called the police," Madame Fran said. But because it was just that once, and it didn't happen again, the police thought it was just him suspicious, so they didn't take it seriously...... And then there's the fact that he just got a new phone four days ago, because his old phone was accidentally spilled with a cup of strong coffee in the restaurant and completely scrapped......"

Roy's eyes flashed: "Wait, you said he happened to change his phone before he died?" Is that new phone there? ”

"Of course, I piled it up with some of his other relics, right in the storage room."

"This could be important." Roy said, "Can I take a look?" (To be continued.) )
