Chapter 7: The Little Thing of Resurrection

Police station.

Busy and hustle and bustle.

Ryan and Selina's arrival didn't attract anyone's special attention, and most of the officers who were shuttling back and forth took one look at it and went about their business.

Some of them were sorting out the information, some were yelling at the suspect, and some were directly dragging the suspect into the room, and the next moment a terrible wail was heard.

Gotham's police naturally have a different style of acting than other places, and their violence is not disguised, let alone needed.

Gangsters trample on the law on the one hand, and on the other hand, they need the law more than anyone else.

This is a tacit understanding that belongs exclusively to the police department and the gangsters.

Ryan walked through the wide police office area, his eyes searching.

"Are you looking for someone?" Selina asked.

Ryan nodded, his eyes certain, the corners of his lips smiling, and walked straight.

Selina followed him closely and followed his gaze, only to see a middle-aged, bearded man, who was also looking at them.

Approaching, Ryan pulled open the seat in front of the other party and sat down.

The other party lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff before shaking his head and saying, "Child, if you want to call the police, you have to go to the door."

"I'm here for you, Officer Harvey Bullock."

Harvey raised his eyebrows, "Have we met?"

Ryan shook his head, "Let's get down to business, where is Mario Pepper's body?"

Hearing this, Harvey immediately frowned, and his eyes also lit up.

He sat up slightly, "You know him?"

"I've met once."

Seeing that Harvey was about to ask again, Ryan raised his hand to stop it.

"I'm not a suspect, so don't ask me any more questions, just answer my questions."

Harvey was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said, "Son, do you know what you're talking about?"

"One hundred thousand." Ryan said.

Harvey's smile suddenly retracted, but he just looked at Ryan silently.

Seeing this, Ryan continued to increase: "500,000."

The corner of Harvey's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look around the police station.

Ryan: "Trust me, it's a high price, if you don't want it, then I'll talk to your director."

Harvey thrust the cigarette into the ashtray, squeezed his forehead into a heap, leaned forward, and pointed his index finger on the table in an accentuated tone: "Do you know that you are now openly bribing a police officer in the police station!"

Beside her, Selina looked at Ryan in equally dismay.

However.

Ryan looked at him with a flat face, "yes. So, do you want it, or do you want it?"

-----------------

Boom!

A black travel bag is thrown out of the window and thrown into the garbage heap with precision.

Selina turned around, only to see Ryan hand a note with the address to Oswald in front of him: "Go to this address."

"Yes, sir."

Selina was puzzled, "Didn't you say you wanted to save people, but now he's a corpse."

"Can't the corpse be saved?"

Not long before the hospital morgue.

Passing through the gate, the icy cold air hit the face, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant water.

The glow of the incandescent lamps suddenly seemed to take on an unusually cool hue here, and the rows of silver metal cabinets always made people's minds constantly reverie and add to the fear.

Selina tightened her black coat and wrapped her arms around her.

Oswald followed behind, and although he was also curious, his eyes often looked at Ryan's back, consciously or unconsciously.

The night watchman took them to their destination, pointed to the label outside the cabinet, and said, "Here he is."

Ryan handed him a stack of money, "Good work."

The night watchman's eyes lit up, and he took the money and bowed in thanks.

Then he handed the key to Ryan and walked out himself.

Instead of opening the cabinet in a hurry, Ryan turned his head and walked to the other side.

【Thomas Wayne】

【Martha Wayne】

Two ordinary names, but they write the extraordinary future of Gotham and even this universe.

"It's them......" Serena bit her lip, as if she had seen the tragic scene of that night again.

Ryan stared for a moment, then turned to open the cabinet and pulled out the drawer.

Open the black body bag.

Lying inside was the man who had woken him up in the bookstore before.

When Oswald saw this face, his cheeks twitched slightly, and he deliberately turned his head away.

Selina was not afraid, and stared at it carefully for a long time before saying, "What is your relationship with him?"

Ryan shook his head and held out his hand.

Selina suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Ryan turned around, only to see her say with a serious face, "Don't touch the corpse easily, it's not good for you."

Probably, it means unlucky?

Ryan smiled and nodded.

When Selina let go of his hand, a drop of blood suddenly floated from his fingertips. Drops of blood flew lightly on Mario's brow, quickly seeping inward.

This scene shocked the two people around him, especially Oswald, who stared at Ryan in astonishment, opening his mouth but not daring to speak.

"You...... What is this for?" Selina asked in a trembling voice.

"Obviously, the resurrection." Ryan said calmly.

She was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Are you serious?"

Ryan pushed the cabinet back and pulled the key directly.

"He'll come back to life, let's go."

At this moment, both Selina and Oswald look like gods are not possessed.

On the way out, they ran into a mother and daughter.

The mother's eyes were red, with heavy dark circles around her eyes, and her eyes were a little dull; The daughter, who looked to be less than ten years old, had brown and green hair, and she also looked dazed.

They held hands and bowed their heads slightly, not paying any attention to the front.

Ryan and the others took the initiative to give way.

At the wrong moment, Ryan suddenly spoke.

"Ivy."

The mother and daughter stopped at the same time and turned their heads to look at him.

Ryan smiled and reached out to caress the top of the little girl's head, invisible light infusing her supernatural powers while connecting to her mother.

The haggard faces of the two recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

So, the mother and daughter showed surprise and curiosity at the same time.

After a while, Ryan withdrew his hand, bowed to them, and turned to leave.

Get in the car.

"I don't understand." Selina sighed deeply.

Ryan: "Oswald."

"Sir, I'm here!"

"Explain it to her."

Suddenly, a flattering but strange smile appeared on Oswald's thin face: "I think they ...... Maybe it's the man's family."

Selina was stunned, but after thinking about it, she added, "But you know that girl, but they don't know you."

"I know you too, but you don't know me."

"This ......," there was a flickering glint in her big eyes, "You're really not ......."

"It's not." Ryan took the initiative to stop the topic and said to the front, "I want a quiet and private house, yes, and a cell phone."

"No problem, sir, leave it to me!" Oswald responded.

Evening.

Ryan stood in the doorway of the villa and watched as Oswald moved the remaining cash from the trunk into the house.

Instead of trolley boxes, you can move them in stacks.

Whenever Oswald walked by Ryan's side, he would bend over and smile at him.

The last stack, Rai

"Move these back to your own room."

Oswald was stunned.

Ryan waved his hand, stepped down the steps, and dialed the phone.

"Alfred."

"Mr. Li, I'm waiting for your call. You're right, the police told me that the case has been solved and the killer has been killed, and that we are going to hold the funeral of Mr. Wayne and his wife tomorrow."

"That's good news."

"Alas, Mr. Lee, if I hadn't met you, I think Bruce and I would have been very excited today."

"Huh, what do you say?"

"It is clear that this murderer is a scapegoat, and the real villains are still at large. I haven't told Bruce yet, though, that I'd like to have a funeral to put an end to it for a while. What do you think?"

"I think...... Not good." Ryan showed no mercy.

Alfred was silent for a moment before asking, "Can I ask why?"

Ryan said without thinking, "Alfred, blindly concealing and suppressing will only provoke greater outbursts and backlash, Bruce is very obedient and assertive at the same time. It's about his parents, it's going to affect his whole life, and every decision you make will affect what kind of person he will become in the future."

「…… So, what do you suggest?"

"It's better to be blocked than to be sparse. He's seen some of the most tragic scenes in the world, so he needs catharsis."

"That's why you want to take him away?"

"Not exactly." Ryan paused, then said, "Alfred, there are some things that no one else can do for you. I'm going to be away for a while, so you can take this opportunity to think about it."

"How long?"

"I don't know, I'll get back in touch when I get back."

"Okay, then, I wish you a smooth journey."

"Thank you."

Putting the phone away, Ryan looked at the gloomy sky that had not changed all day, and sighed faintly.

He really doesn't like the weather in Gotham.

Ryan didn't look back, and asked directly, "Oswald, what is your dream?"

There was silence behind him for a few moments before a voice came.

"Sir, I want to make my own business."

"It's too broad, be specific."

"I...... I want to open a bar."

Ryan nodded slowly, and then asked, "That's all?"

Oswald stood behind him, bowing slightly, his eyes rolling rapidly.

Ryan turned.

He buried his head even lower.

"Change your image, whether it's your clothes or your hairstyle. A successful businessman should have a decent image and temperament."

"Sir?!" Oswald jerked his head up, his eyes excited.

"You hear me, I'm going to be away for a while. How much money do you need to invest, you go and talk to Selina, I don't think it's going to be easy, but it's just the right thing to test and exercise your mind."

"I'm ......" his eyelids trembled rapidly, and his eyes were misty.

Ryan laughed.

Most of the successful villains have transcendent acting skills, especially the part that rises at the bottom.

Holding him down on the shoulder, Ryan whispered, "My bottom line is that you are not allowed to hurt Selina."

Oswald Chesterfield Copote, who also had a resounding nickname.

Penguin people.
