Chapter 2066: The Night of the Knight's Horror (8)
The light of the computer screen on Batman's face made his expression look particularly solemn, and he asked Peter without looking back as he skimmed through the records sent by Nightwing that had previously existed in the Prophet's system, "You spied on the Penguin's communications?" ”
"No, I called the military and the FBI, I want to know what they are doing, the person who answered the phone from the FBI is called Amanda Waller, but the military's call is not answered."
"I found the information identification device and the unique military vehicle code on that military vehicle, which means that there is a military base in Gotham City, and I think it may be that their phone line is broken, so I plan to contact them directly into their radio channel."
"Because I was just going to make a phone call, I didn't take the covert listening band, and when I entered the channel, I heard a guy named Oswald talking to an officer named Binns."
"You've been discovered by them." Batman said, "Next time, remember that no matter who you contact by radio, be sure to encrypt it." ”
"I will." Peter nodded and said, "I still underestimated the severity of your universe, I didn't expect all the official institutions to be exposed like a sieve. ”
"What did they say in the conversation?"
"The guy named Oswald, oh, I later found his code name in your list of supercriminals, the Penguin, who traded something for a shipment of military equipment and munitions, and they were negotiating where to store the secondary supplies."
The officer demanded that he must completely erase the livery and information markings from the equipment before he could use it, and the penguin man did not answer.
Batman frowned, and if that was the case, it would make sense.
An obvious clue is that from the time the scarecrow appeared to the time they were pursued, all the equipment was military equipment, whether it was military vehicles, weapons, or communication equipment.
Not to mention whether a scarecrow, a chemist who has been in prison all year round, can knock out military-standard equipment out of thin air, and there are certainly not enough materials and equipment in Arkham Asylum to make these things.
But it's unlikely that the military would blatantly give this equipment to a lunatic with a criminal record, especially a Gotham maniac, and Batman knows they don't want to get involved in Gotham's.
But if there is a black and white black boss with the penguin people, then everything is much easier.
As the controller of the Wayne Group, Batman certainly knows that Oswald is involved in the military, the FBI, the Gotham gangs and various black and white forces, which is an important reason why the Penguins can stand in Gotham, a city full of talents, and his connections are really wide.
I am afraid that it was the Penguins who bribed one of the quartermasters at the Gotham military base to get a large amount of military equipment in private, and then provided it to the scarecrow.
It's not surprising that the Penguin and the Scarecrow work together, as both of them have been patients at Arkham Asylum, but the biggest problem is that the Scarecrow doesn't seem to provide enough benefits to the Penguin.
The penguin man is a businessman, and it will not do him any good to mess up Gotham, on the contrary, now that the vast majority of Gotham people are in a coma, the penguin people's business will definitely not be able to do it.
At this time, Batman remembered an incident a few weeks ago, when Black Mask, the famous gang leader of Gotham, was found dead in his home, and all the Siannis family's possessions were ransacked.
Although the Siannis family is not as good as the Wayne family, it is also a famous big family in Gotham, although it has declined by the Black Mask generation, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
And also as a gang boss, Black Mask has always been the penguin's opponent in the underworld, and the Oswald family declined earlier than the Siannis family, so Black Mask has always been a big problem for the penguins.
Then it was the Scarecrow who managed to kill Black Mask, and at the same time looted his property and gave it to the Penguin, who helped him bribe the quartermaster and get a large amount of army equipment.
The first batch of army equipment should have been used in the first wave of the Scarecrow's attack, including the military vehicle captured by Batman.
Before the second shipment arrived, Peter overheard a conversation between the Penguin and the bribed quartermaster, so the Penguin sent someone to kidnap Peter.
At the same time, the theft of equipment was discovered within the military, but that shouldn't have been enough for them to make some extreme decisions, but if you put in contact with the FBI helicopters that appeared over Gotham, it all makes sense.
The FBI is certainly not here for no purpose, they are afraid that they have received information through some channels that the military has provided equipment to the Gotham terrorists, and they have sent people here to collect evidence.
The FBI and the military are not dealing with each other, and it can even be said that they are both competitive and old-time grudges, and both sides are constantly stumbling and pulling each other's hind legs, and they will definitely not let go of the opportunity to grab each other's pigtails.
The military would not allow the FBI to obtain such strong evidence, which would make them very passive in Congress, but the theft of equipment is a foregone conclusion, it is useless to stop FBI agents, and pervasive agents will always have a way to get their hands on evidence.
Then the best solution would be to destroy the corpses, as long as the place where the equipment was stored was blown up, then the FBI would never want to get the evidence.
There is nothing difficult to locate some equipment, any standard equipment of the US army has a mark on it, especially on transport vehicles and combat vehicles, there are emergency signal transmitting devices, as long as such signals are located, it is easy to lock the position.
"Did you see the penguin?" Batman asked.
Peter nodded, tilting his head slightly to one side, and Batman saw the shallow scar on his jaw.
"While it may be a bit offensive to say that, he asked me if you had any special fetishes about your assistant who shouldn't be in the Batcave, but more in his strip bar."
Bruises bulge on the back of Batman's hands.
Looking at the back of Batman striding away, Peter lightly touched his ear tragus and said into the air, "Hey? Doctor, are you still there? Isn't that good? I always felt like we shouldn't irritate him so much......"
"Take it easy, Peter." Schiller's voice in Peter's ears was even softer, much like the thunder of a rainy night in Gotham.
Peter realizes that this is not the doctor, and then he hears him say, "This is not meant to irritate Batman. ”
"You tell him first that the brain waves between people may affect each other, and the fear of poison gas can affect the brain waves."
"He was already infected with fear gas when he was injured before, and he must have suspected that his brain waves were also affected, but why did he have a dream about Jason after being affected?"
"Is that a dream, or is it a reality that you see when your brainwaves are connected? Batman can't be sure, but he can be so skeptical, and he's very good at it. ”
"If the dream scene is likely to be a reality, then maybe his once-missing assistant was kidnapped, but ordinary people don't kidnap his assistant, in other words, kidnapping rather than killing someone, there has to be some purpose."
"No one has ever blackmailed Batman during Jason's disappearance, so what is Jason's value to the kidnappers?"
Peter's eyes widened slowly, he opened his mouth slightly and closed it again, covered his mouth with his fingers and said, "So that sentence is actually implying that the penguin man took Jason ...... God, Batman won't kill him, will he?! ”
"Batman doesn't kill." Schiller's tone was stained with a smile, and he continued: "This originally united family has always had many conflicts over this matter. ”
But, Peter, you must always remember that death is never the best retribution, and you have more ways to turn it into a gift.
"When things start to go in the direction of mundane and boring, maybe you should be bolder."
"Be bolder......" Peter whispered.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and when Peter turned around, he found that it was Poison Ivy who was standing around the corner and probing his brain, and found that Peter looked back at her, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Batman is gone?" ”
"Yes." Peter nodded, still thinking to himself, and then asked, "Do you think I should be bolder?" ”
Poison Ivy looked incredulous and said, "Bolder?!" Does that mean you weren't bold enough to act?! ”
Poison Ivy raised her hands in the air, then shook them down and said, "You destroyed Gotham an hour ago!" Twice! All the super criminals in the entire Arkham Asylum combined don't have as many victories as you! ”
"And Batman is still worried about you right now, he just called Alfred and told the old butler to look at you and tell you not to go out, God, it was the only right decision he made! Can't you be honest for a while?! ”
Peter shook his head and said, "This is my first exam, and although my instructor is more biased towards me, there are other judges on the scene, and one of them is extremely strict. ”
"I think I learned pretty well, especially in terms of basic knowledge, and there are one or two small highlights in the topic selection, but after all, I skipped the undergraduate degree and went directly to the graduate defense, and I didn't have a complete result that was bright enough......
Peter shook his head, as if he was not satisfied with his performance, and suddenly, with a slight movement of inspiration, Peter raised his head slightly, as if he had an idea.
And the theater of the Schiller Thinking Tower was also bustling at this time, and Greed had already risen from his seat, and he slapped the table and said: "
Spider-Man has the most basic moral bottom line, first, he doesn't kill people, and second, he also hates extreme violence, which means that his topic must have great limitations, it can't be so grandiose, and it's not only meaningful to make big scenes, as subtle as possible, you know? ”
"How old is he?! He had just graduated from graduate school, and he had to juggle experimentation on the one hand, and learn to be a superhero on the other, and when he was under me, he didn't have so many opportunities to participate in formal projects, and he dared to choose Arkham Knight for the first exam, which fully proved his academic spirit! ”
"Also, isn't there no way for an excellent graduate to contradict father and son? Is there any real solution to the patriarchal proposition in the industry now? This is an unsolvable proposition, and we need this kind of students who have the courage to explore difficult propositions! ”
Arrogant stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said, "Can you calm down?" I just wanted him to elaborate on his thinking about how he had just reacted to Batman......"
"What is there to elaborate on?! Will you stand up in the middle of the exam and read the answers? Oh, and you probably will, after all, teachers are paralyzed in the office and unconscious during college exams! ”
"Greed." The sick man next to him shouted.
"Also, don't give a hint suddenly during the defense process, say it's a prompt, what if it's a disturbance?" Greed knocked on the table again and said, "Don't make a sudden noise!" Otherwise, I'll unplug the cable! ”
