Chapter 123: The Imprisoned Wife
"It's crazy!"
Robin was shocked, "Even in Gotham, it's a little too incredible. ”
"A serum that can alter DNA and turn humans into bat monsters? I'd rather believe that it was born in the chemistry labs of the Lex Group. ”
"How else would you explain that Kurt's ring was left in Robinson Park?"
Batman asked rhetorically.
"Why is the ring of the ring broken?"
Hearing this, Robin's mind suddenly struck like lightning.
It is impossible for a normal person to break a ring without idleness, and the difficulty of breaking a ring may be a little higher than that of smashing a diamond.
After all, diamonds are hard and hard, but they are too brittle.
But if you substitute the picture of Kurt Langstone drinking the serum and turning into a bat monster, it is easy to think that after becoming a monster, the size of the diamond ring that was originally suitable for wearing suddenly becomes too small.
Even at the end, it was cracked open by a swollen finger!
Continuing to think about it, maybe Kurt, who has become a monster physically, still has human emotions left, and he still loves his wife, so even if the ring is broken, he always carries it on his body, until he accidentally leaves the ring when he kills it for the first time in the woods.
With so many claw marks left by the bat monster on the tree, his true emotions may have been due to his uncontrollable bloodthirsty instincts, rather than pure excitement or anger.
Hiss –
Robin had to admit that, according to this logic, the possibility of Kurt Langstone developing a serum and turning into a bat monster due to side effects has greatly increased.
He was the only suspect.
"Until we met Lonstone, it was all speculation, and the bat monster could or could not be him."
Batman said slowly, there was no wave in his tone, no emotional fluctuations could be heard, only extreme calmness.
Shortly after Batman and Robin left, another dark shadow crept up into the woods.
At first glance, this black shadow is actually wearing a bat suit!
Looking at it again, I found that this bat suit was a bit rudimentary, and the figure of the person wearing the bat suit did not seem to be as burly as the serious Batman.
"I knew they were going to be there."
Dean had the look on his face as I expected, and he looked at one of the large trees in the arena and thought with a little regret.
"It's a pity, the miniature bug can't be recycled, so you can only let it turn on self-destruct mode."
Micron-level bugs, let alone recycling, are blind in the middle of the night, and they may not be visible when you look for them with a magnifying glass.
What is this all about? It's going to be a few hours ago.
After leaving Gotham General Hospital, Dean witnesses Batman taking Robin to the Upper West Side in a Batmobile.
The Batmobile was so fast that if it was just following behind, Dean would have lost it in less than a minute.
But Dean is well aware that Batman and Robin are going to investigate the bat monster, so they will definitely come to the crime scene anyway, and they will go to every crime scene.
So he checked the locations of each bat monster attack, and finally found that starting from Gotham General Hospital, the two closest places were in the harbor and villa areas of the Upper West Side, which were characterized by empty terrain and low foot traffic.
The Robinson Park woodland, where the first body was found, was further away from Gotham General Hospital.
In order to improve the efficiency of the case, Batman will most likely give priority to several other locations that are slightly closer to investigate, so Dean can take advantage of this time difference to arrive at Robinson Park before Batman and the others.
Besides, how can Gotham have a peaceful night, and I don't know how many robbers or even murderers I will meet on the way to the Upper West Side, and how many can tie up Batman.
All in all, Dean did arrive at Robinson Park ahead of Batman.
He actually discovered the existence of the ring, but he didn't move it, but hid the miniature bug that the system exchanged on a large tree.
There is only one purpose, and that is to eavesdrop on the details of Batman and Robin's investigation.
Of course, if Batman had already found out where the bat monster was at other crime scenes, and ran directly to the middle door to snipe, instead of using Robinson Park, this possibility also existed.
At that point, Dean could only consider himself unlucky.
There was no way, he couldn't risk a head-on collision with Batman to go somewhere else and wait for the rabbit, although he had forethought what reason to use to prevaricate in such a situation, but in the end, it was better to keep it if it was not necessary.
There's really no way to talk about it.
"Kurt Langstone?"
Dean touched his chin and thought about it, he didn't remember the name at all.
But fortunately, Dr. Langstone has a bit of a reputation in the zoological community, and a lot of public information can be found on the Internet.
"Zoology experts, who have physiological defects, want to find a way to make up for the defects by studying animal DNA, and ask a large company for funding but are rejected miserably...... Hey, why don't you feel like this background setting is quite right? ”
As the saying goes, I don't know if I don't check, and I was shocked when I checked it, and after reading Dr. Langstone's public information, Dean immediately felt that there was something wrong with this guy's designation.
Isn't this the usual blackened villain setting in superheroes' works?
"Hmm...... Kurt Langstone's address does not appear to have been disclosed online, but the location of his laboratory has been revealed. ”
After thinking about it, Dean turned and left.
——
After a while, the northeast of the Upper West Side, which is the most humble residential area in the entire Upper West Side.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a slum on the Upper West Side, and it is not much different from the East End, which is known as the Gotham slum.
Of course, compared to the slums of the East End, the living environment here is still much better.
Batman and Robin arrive at one of the small houses that looks like a warehouse, with no lights on, and the windows are closed, so they can't hear any sound coming from it, and they're not sure if anyone is there.
"This is Dr. Ronstone's residence? I didn't expect a well-known specialist to live in this kind of place. ”
Robin looked at the dilapidated little house in front of him and sighed with a sigh on his face.
"His original life was relatively rich, but his single-minded research made Kurt spend all his savings, and no one was optimistic about his serum to fund it, so he had to invest all his money in research."
Batman said.
He inspected the house, and the only entrance and exit that could accommodate himself was a front door.
Batman first knocked symbolically on the door, but no one answered.
So he gave Robin a look, and the latter suddenly understood and became vigilant.
I saw Batman standing at the door, holding up his shoulders, tensing his muscles, and crashing towards the door in an instant.
Touch!
The stale door is easily slammed open by Batman, revealing the inside of the room.
It was empty, with no furniture at all, except for a huge cage and a woman in a cage.
Looking at the appearance of that woman, it is clear that it is Kurt Langstone's wife, Francine Langstone!
