Chapter Forty-Eight: Behind the Scenes [Asking for Votes]
Everyone shook their heads when they saw the photo of the scarecrow in Bruce's hand.
As a prosecutor, Harvey Dent is not on the front line of catching criminals.
So he didn't know much about these strange criminals, and all of them were basically the ones exposed in newspapers and online reports.
So he just said, "I don't say it." ”
"The Gotham Police Department has also set up a special research team for scarecrows, but there has been little progress so far," Gordon said. I only know that each of this guy's victims seems to have experienced something terrifying. ”
"That's right, according to the victims, this guy often wears this scarecrow costume to commit crimes, and has a poisonous gas that can sink people into deep fear." Bruce said.
But he didn't say it, he almost caught the scarecrow last time, but because of carelessness, he was sprayed into his nose by the other party's fear gas.
As a result, for more than an hour, he was immersed in the moment when his parents were killed when he was young, and the cycle kept on.
Gordon thought about it when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Are you afraid of poison gas... It turns out that this is where the fear of the victims comes from. ”
Selena glanced at Depp meaningfully and said in surprise: "That's really terrible." ”
Depp has actually heard that the scarecrow officially appeared a few days ago.
This time, Jonathan's main targets are all some wealthy people in Gotham, and the purpose is not to kill people, but to rob these people's belongings.
Depp guessed that Jonathan's experiment was underfunded, so he used fear gas to rob these Gotham billionaires to make up for his missing research funds.
However, Depp is not ready to tell Bruce now that Professor Jonathan of Gotham University is a scarecrow.
Because he thinks that tomorrow Bruce will definitely come to the antique shop to look for him, and ask him why he didn't show up for the night.
Depp wants to give Bruce some more hints then, and for now... "I've only heard of it, but I don't know who the scarecrow is. This kind of thing, I think you can go to the kind of criminal's den on Naho Island and ask. ”
Nai Ho Island......
Hearing Iron Fist's words, Gordon and Bruce thought of the same person.
Since everyone has no special clues, this exchange is not far away.
On the eve of their departures, Bruce sent a special contact number to each of them.
The dedicated contact number is similar to a cell phone, but with small sharp corners on each side of the top, which makes the phone look like a small Q-like bat.
Phones can be requested to connect to Batman's database, but each connection needs to be reviewed by Afu, and can only be used to communicate between a few people, and cannot call others.
When leaving, Gordon and Harvey walked down the stairs side by side from the rooftop, they were neither mutant warriors nor high-tech equipment, and they left in the most unpretentious way.
The two of them are relatively familiar with each other, so they naturally left together, and because they were a little happy, they also hooked their shoulders.
On the other side, Depp hugged Selena's slender waist, and Selena hugged Depp's chest.
Using a hook and lock device added to the outside of the robotic arm, they wandered from building to building.
Looking at the crowd leaving in pairs, Bruce suddenly felt a little melancholy.
"Shouldn't I find myself a companion?"
Back in the Batcave, Bruce said to Alfred, who was changing his clothes, "Ah Fu, should I also find a partner to act with?" ”
Alfred was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then agreed: "Yes, young master, it is indeed a bit stressful that you have been acting alone. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a batsuit that matched his size from his suit.
He felt that if the young master needed an assistant to act together, then he was definitely the first choice, and he was absolutely duty-bound.
In a sense, he's been waiting for this day for a long time!
Alfred lifted the clothes to his neck and compared, and asked, "Young Master, do you think I will be a little tight when I wear a suit of this size?" ”
Bruce: "......"
Bruce looked at Alfred, who was a little excited, and wanted to open his mouth several times but couldn't speak.
After all, Alfred is old and not in good health.
After hesitating, he was also afraid that the elderly Alfred would really want to act with him at night, and his life would be in danger, so he compromised and said: "Or... Ah Fu, you can help me train a bat dog that can move together from tomorrow! ”
Ah Fu was slightly disappointed when he heard this, and took the suit back, but being able to help the young master train a dog that can attack together can be regarded as having a sense of participation.
He said, "Okay young master. ”
I will definitely train the best dog for the young master!
On the way home, Selena looked up and asked, "Honey, why didn't you just tell Bruce about the true identity of the Scarecrow?" ”
"That might reveal who we are, after all, Bruce was involved in that party."
"And, trust me, he'll come to the antique shop tomorrow to look for me."
"I'll give him a little more of a reminder then."
Selena suddenly realized when she heard this: "I see, anyway, I thought there would be some fun battle tonight, but I just said a few words." Come home, we haven't exercised yet. ”
Depp asked, "Back to your house, or mine?" ”
Selena pinched Depp and said, "Of course go to me, your bed is too small!" Moreover, there is also the boy who sleeps next door. It's inconvenient. ”
The next morning, Depp ran back to the antique store from Selena's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Bruce waving at him.
"Good morning, Wellen."
"Good morning, boss, Mr. Bruce has been waiting for you here for an hour."
"Good morning Bruce, what's the matter?"
Depp gave Wellen a look as he spoke, and Wellen immediately understood and left the front desk.
Bruce got straight to the point and said, "Why didn't you come yesterday?" ”
"I suppose you'd come straight to the store for me if you really had anything important, rather than just sending me a text message and waiting for you in the cold wind at the top of Wayne Tower."
Bruce sighed helplessly and whispered, "I formed a Justice League with Gordon, Harvey, Tekken, and Catwoman, and I hope you can join as well." ”
Bruce is sincere, he really hopes that Depp can join, on the one hand, because of Depp's magic ability and this guy's style of never breaking the law in Naho Island, and secondly, Bruce secretly feels that Depp's joining will change a lot of things.
However, Depp's answer disappointed Bruce.
"I'm sorry, I didn't join your interest, I would rather live longer than hoe the strong and help the weak in this city."
"Is that so?" said Bruce, a little depressed.
"But..."Depp said, "If you want to consult me about some criminals, I think I have a lot of clues to provide you, after all, you know this place." ”
When Bruce heard this, his mood immediately turned cloudy, and he put the photo of the scarecrow in his jacket pocket on the front desk, saying:
"I'd like to ask for clues about this guy first."
