Chapter 113 Solving the Mystery
The moment "Joker" appeared.
There was a moment of silence in the noisy Gotham!
It is estimated that in Gotham, there is no one who does not know the existence of "Joker".
That was the lunatic who brought fear to Gotham City twenty years ago in the form of the King of Darkness.
And also a very popular lunatic.
"Joker!"
"How could it be him!"
"That madman?"
"Didn't he die with Batman twenty years ago?"
"etc!"
The voices of discussion from the entire Gotham City gathered together, almost overturning the dark clouds in the sky.
James Gordon Jr. had just finished searching the clock tower, and was standing at the base of it, wondering where the Riddler Gentleman had gone, when he witnessed the "Return of the Clown" scene.
In an instant, his face changed drastically.
impossible!
The clown...is dead!
That year, old Gordon witnessed the clown's corpse with his own eyes!
impossible!
impossible!
impossible!
He cried out frantically in his heart.
But the phantom of the clown in the sky, that crazy posture, is clearly exactly the same as the clown back then!
Although James Gordon Jr. was still young twenty years ago, there are still precious video materials from his father, Gordon Sr.
The scene where Batman violently "interrogated" the Joker in the Gotham Police Department.
In different places in Gotham City.
Burnley area.
All attention is drawn to the image in the sky.
Zhu Yun'er hid in the dark.
look up to the sky.
Although others didn't recognize him, Zhu Yun'er had heard Pan Zhengyi's laughter in the Arkham Nursing Home, and recognized Pan Zhengyi at a glance.
"What the hell is that guy doing?"
Su Xiaosu kicked and smashed a wall silently, also looking at the influence in the sky, thoughtfully.
At this time, Zhu Yun'er turned her head and smiled at Su Xiaosu: "Thank you, Sister Susu, if you hadn't saved me, I might have died already."
Thinking of the scene when the streets suddenly burst into artillery fire during the day, she still couldn't help feeling a little lingering in her heart when she recalled it.
fortunately--
"Hmph, but because of this, I finally understand..."
Zhu Yun'er suddenly smiled coldly, and she looked at herself.
It turned out that she was seriously injured, with bullet holes all over her body.
But now, all her injuries have healed, and even the bullet holes on her skin have returned to normal. Her skin is fair and smooth, without leaving any scars.
Naturally, the life value also returned to full value.
Su Xiaosu's fighting power is indeed terrifying.
She was able to bring a wounded person with her and rush out of the hail of bullets.
This body of muscles... Sure enough.
Zhu Yun'er silently opened the "Crime List" and took a look.
This look.
It made her pupils shrink slightly.
...
【Crime list】
[Gotham Crime Degree] 54845/1000000 (5.48%)
[Irin] 51723 (5.17%)
【Zhu Yuner】1120 (0.11%)
[Li Erpang] 912 (0.09%)
【Su Xiaosu】840 (0.08%)
[Pan Zhengyi] 250 (0.02%)
...
At first, Zhu Yun'er thought that she had just recovered from a serious injury, lost too much blood, and was a little dizzy.
Could it be that there is a zero in the number.
But take a closer look.
It turns out... not at all!
It's really more than 50,000 crime points!
That guy... violated the rules of heaven?
How could he accumulate so many evil points in a short period of time!
If deducted by human life, this is equivalent to more than 5,000 human lives.
Even if Zhu Yun'er was to kill like cutting wheat piece by piece, it would take a long time to kill.
What's more... the citizens of Gotham City are not as easy to kill as imagined.
Zhu Yun'er has personally experienced this point.
Deeply touched.
"Wait, could it be that..."
Zhu Yuner frowned.
Think for a few minutes.
Suddenly, the frowning brows relaxed.
"Crime...is not necessarily murder! He was one step ahead! Hmph, are you the only one who would commit a crime? Sister Susu, let's go! We can't lose to that guy! Don't forget, in the nursing home, he helped that Pan Justice, stole our potion of youth!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yun'er would hold a grudge for a small matter until now.
But it was originally Pan Zhengyi's pot, so Zhu Yun'er put the pot on Yi Lin's head by the way.
Zhu Yun'er's eyes shone with a cold light that was not angry and prestige.
At that moment, she was walking on the road with a bit of majesty like an emperor on tour.
In Dragon Kingdom... no one can offend the Zhu family!
Not to mention just an unknown person!
...
...
"call--"
Holding a large bag of delicious fried chicken legs in one hand, the fat man ran down the dark alley.
He turned his head and glanced at Pan Zhengyi in the sky. Although he was shocked, he quickly calmed down.
"Isn't it... who wouldn't? But that guy is pretty realistic... Fatty, I almost thought it was a clown reality show... Could this guy be a senior stinging ape?"
The fat man ate up a big bag of fried chicken legs like he swallowed a jujube whole.
Li Erpang patted his bulging belly. He was full and full of fat. He finally felt a bit safe.
The entire Gotham City fell into a momentary confusion because of the return of the "Joker".
Li Erpang finally escaped from the pursuit of the "good citizens" temporarily. Taking advantage of the night, he smashed the window of one of the houses with his palm, hid inside, and took a rest.
In today's Gotham City, 70% to 80% of the citizens are outside.
Wandering around with guns on their shoulders.
There is an old saying: the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Now that the fat man was out of sight of the citizens and hid in the house, he won a chance to breathe.
Li Erpang rested for a while.
Then he opened the "Sin List" and took a look.
Instantly narrowed his eyes.
Although it couldn't be seen from the surface, his eyes were indeed slightly widened.
A little bit.
Squinting is a family tradition, and he is helpless.
He suddenly remembered the reminder he received after he robbed the old grandpa's fast food restaurant.
"In other words, besides robbery, is there any other way to accumulate crime points faster?"
Thinking of this, Li Erpang gritted his teeth and sent a series of messages to Yi Lin.
But it was automatically replied: The apostle is busy, please do not disturb!
"Fuck!"
Li Erpang didn't have much culture, so he could only yell shit to show his mood.
Yi Lin is not very kind!
Talk about teaming up!
We agreed to fly together!
It's okay to secretly leave Fat Master behind in the park, Fat Master doesn't care about his rough skin, and he doesn't call out if there is a way to earn points?
Anyway, send a message and squeak!
It was agreed to go to the white head together, but you quietly baked the oil!
but.
Li Erpang just complained in his mouth and in his heart.
After going through several trials in the other world, he is not so naive after reaching this level.
Yi Lin was able to give him a "youth potion" in the nursing home, which already made Li Erpang feel that there are still good people among the apostles.
After all, in the mission, the relationship between the apostles is complicated.
Even if it is a team task, there is also a relationship of secret rivalry.
No one admits defeat.
It's time to burn incense if you can't go to death.
Everyone wants to get a higher clearance evaluation.
"Heh heh heh... in this case..."
Li Erpang silently made up his mind.
...
at the same time.
Gotham sky.
The "clown" was still laughing wildly.
Laugh maniacally.
"Jie jie jie—"
Laughter means nothing.
There are no lines either.
But it was this crazy laugh that seemed to cast a shadow over Gotham City.
No one knows.
at the same time.
The top floor of the Wayne Building.
Wayne Building is the most famous landmark in Gotham City.
Also the tallest building.
In fact, with today's technological level, Gotham City is not unable to build taller and more spectacular buildings than "Wayne Building".
But dare not.
Because, as we all know, Bruce Wayne is the richest in Gotham City.
No one dares to try the supreme power of money ability.
In this room on the top floor of Wayne Building, three sides are transparent glass.
In the room, there is a spacious round bed.
An old man with white hair but a straight back suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
Beside the old man, there was a young woman with a hot figure, entwined around the old man like an octopus.
The moment the old man sat up, in the darkness, the woman's expression became even more flushed, and she crawled under the quilt, wriggling silently.
The old man looked out the window.
I don't know if it's a coincidence.
That huge "clown" phantom suddenly turned its head.
As if through the transparent glass on the top floor of the Wayne Building, the hideous clown, with his chaotic eyes after painting, looked at the white-haired old man on the bed.
"Mmmmmmm—"
There was a strange sound coming from under the quilt.
The girl vaguely called out the old man's name.
"Bruce... Bruce..."
Bruce Wayne.
his name.
The corner of Bruce Wayne's mouth curled up slightly.
I don't know what it means.
"Duang!"
suddenly!
There was a sudden Q bomb sound from the Gotham city radio.
Like something was smashed.
Zizizi——
The "clown" phantom in the sky suddenly became distorted and blurred.
"Quick! It's that pervert!"
"How dare you rob the GBC broadcasting company?"
"Hastily, kill him!"
"Looking for shit—"
chug chug——
Continuous gunshots rang out.
The figure of the "clown" is in the sky... scurrying around.
outside the broadcast.
The entire Gotham City once again fell into a strange dead silence.
Bruce Wayne: "..."
Gotham: "..."
Li Erpang: "..."
Gordon and his son: "..."
Dr. Jack: "..."
Zhu Yun'er and Su Xiaosu: "..."
Yi Lin: "Hehe, it really is that guy's style."
...
...
gotham city.
late at night.
Tonight is like a celebration.
Everyone is doomed to sleepless nights.
"Ignore that 'clown'."
Little James Gordon sneered.
He still has the teaser letter from the Riddler Gentleman.
If the first two sentences are lies, then the last few sentences may be the information that indicates the time and place of the real crime.
[I will divide the world into two, and I will welcome the midnight bell and walk towards the first ray of dawn in Gotham. A half-human, half-animal god descends, and I will twist off the god's horned head, and use it to carry Gotham's second fireworks, igniting the torrent from winter to summer. 】
signature -
【The fiery "Riddler Gentleman", Edward Rin, Yours sincerely】
"What exactly does that mean?"
Little James Gordon felt a throbbing pain in his forehead.
Not just the back of the head.
It should be thinking too much, touching the wound in the back of the head.
Little James Gordon always felt that the tone of the riddle gentleman in this riddle was a bit strange.
But for a while, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Always something weird.
He discovered that the young riddle gentleman was different from the riddle man twenty years ago.
If the Riddler twenty years ago was wise but crazy.
Then this riddle gentleman gave him the feeling that he was indeed extremely calm and rational, as if everything was in his chest.
In comparison, the Riddler Gentleman is more difficult to deal with than the Riddler.
Several instances of Batman defeating the Riddler are recorded in the bestselling book The Riddler Saga.
In addition to Batman's wisdom, the Riddler has several defeats, all because of Batman's aggressive method.
Under the anger, the flaws were revealed.
The Riddler's weakness is obvious...his intelligence cannot be underestimated.
Although the Riddler twenty years ago was terrifying, he was also a routine opponent.
In "Batman Legend", a lot of experience in dealing with the Riddler is also summarized.
But James Gordon Jr. found that the experience of dealing with the Riddler could not be applied to the "Riddler Gentleman".
Little James Gordon glanced silently at his watch.
the time is……
[23:35].
etc!
Midnight is coming!
Sergeant Gordon, who frantically searched for the riddle gentleman in Gotham City, unknowingly spent so much time.
The fat man and the other two weird female criminals had long been forgotten by Sergeant Gordon.
fake clown?
It is completely unnecessary to pay attention to.
His mind was full of that damned puzzle right now.
And the elegant yet terrifying riddle gentleman.
"Time is running out."
Little James Gordon suddenly gritted his teeth and dialed a number on his mobile phone.
Soon, the call was connected.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
But little James Gordon called out—
"dad!"
...
...
【23:40】
The top floor of the Wayne Building.
It's still that room.
The bathroom light was on.
The translucent glass reveals a beautiful back, the flesh is hidden.
Bruce Wayne shook the red wine glass gracefully, and sipped the expensive red wine in the glass with satisfaction.
The night is so beautiful, no matter how dangerous it is, there will always be people who stay up all night with dark eyes.
But it's actually not that expensive.
1869 Lafite only.
Hmm... the taste is just so-so.
It's just that Bruce couldn't find a better wine.
There is no way but to make do with it.
Bruce Wayne decided to drink half of it and use the remaining half to rinse his mouth.
Never waste.
At this moment, on the bedside table of the round bed, the phone vibrated silently.
Bruce Wayne has never used a cell phone ringtone in his life, it's all vibration.
There's no particular reason, I'm used to it.
A bat pattern flashed across the phone screen.
Bruce frowned slightly.
He glanced back in the direction of the bathroom.
The girl inside is still humming, ummmm, it's very sweet.
Bruce silently walked to the side of the floor-to-ceiling bed, overlooking the renewed chaos of Gotham City, and connected the phone.
"Old boy."
When Bruce answered the phone, he couldn't help but smile.
In Gotham, there was only one person who would use this number to contact him.
"Trouble? You know, I've been retired for a long time. Gotham now doesn't need a masked knight flying in the dark."
Bruce smiled self-deprecatingly, making a joke along the way.
"Wait, Riddle? Riddler? Wait... what did you say? Riddler Gentleman? Young?"
Bruce Wayne's cloudy eyes lit up slightly.
"interesting……"
...
...
"Damn it!"
James Gordon Jr. hung up the phone sullenly.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
"It's the Apollo Highway! That damn 'Riddler Gentleman' is going to blow up the Apollo Highway at 00:22!"
The surrounding Gotham police officers were all stunned when they heard the words.
Although their IQs are not high, they also participated in solving the mystery in line with the mentality of "everyone adds firewood to make a fire".
"No time to explain! Go! Get in the car!"
Without saying a word, Little James Gordon got into the police car and planned to race the car himself.
"But sir, it takes at least an hour to get to the Apollo Highway here, and we only have 40 minutes until 00:22! If you add the traffic jam—"
"From here to the Apollo Highway, all traffic is closed! Immediately! Let everyone move!"
"But sir, speeding is a crime..."
"We are using the fastest speed to eliminate criminals! This is not called speeding!"
James Gordon Jr. stepped on the accelerator, the tachometer reached 5,000 rpm in an instant, two columns of black smoke spewed out from the exhaust pipe of the police car, and the police car rushed out with a howl.
Only then did the other police officers react and drove to follow.
James Gordon Jr. soared to 160 kilometers per hour.
It's not speeding.
As he raced wildly, his father's words still echoed in his head.
Originally, with the mentality of giving it a try, he turned to the previous Gotham sheriff...James Gordon for help.
That is old Gordon.
He is also the current mayor of Gotham City.
Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, his father actually solved the answer to the puzzle.
My dad really deserves to be my dad!
When he knew the answer, James Gordon Jr. suddenly realized that the answer to the puzzle was so simple.
...
The first two sentences, [dividing the world in two] and [to meet the midnight bell] actually refer to the time.
Divide the 24 hours of a day into two, and start counting from midnight, which is zero.
[The first ray of dawn towards Gotham] can be regarded as a supplementary hint to the previous two sentences.
And the following [A half-human, half-beast god descends] actually refers to the "Capricornus" in the twelve constellations.
Because in the legend, "Capricorn" is a half-human, half-beast god with goat horns.
The corresponding dates for Capricornus are from December 22 to January 19.
Corresponding to the time is...after midnight, from 00:22 to 01:19!
And the meaning of "I will twist off the head of the god with horns" is very clear.
The time of the crime indicated by the riddle gentleman is - 00:22!
[Second fireworks] alludes to the crime method that the riddle gentleman is about to use...explosion.
Same fate as Gotham PD.
And the last sentence is what makes James Gordon Jr. feel weird.
To describe "Bitter Winter", the riddle gentleman used the word "Heavy", and in the final signature, the word "Hot".
"Heavy" is mostly used to describe snow, but it is used by the riddle gentleman to describe winter. No wonder James Gordon Jr. found this grammar a bit strange.
Yazi feels that the "riddler gentleman" is not very good at English.
turn out to be--
The riddle gentleman is not bad at English, but has another world!
"Heavy" has another meaning, which alludes to traffic jams.
The word "Hot", in addition to the meaning of "hot", is also often used to describe the "hot" body of a girl.
As for [Summer] and [Hot], people immediately think of a place!
That's it...Miller Harbor Sands!
The whole sentence is combined, and it really refers to only one place, passing through the most congested traffic on the beach of Miller Harbor!
That is——
Apollo Highway!
Why do you think so?
Because it is clearly written in "Gotham City Travel Guide"——
"Yo! Summer is here! Welcome to Gotham City with its simple folk customs! On the beach of Port Miller, there are blue sky, white clouds, and hot bikini girls. Action is worse than heartbeat, and action is worse than bird movement. What are you waiting for! Yo yo trouble Cech!"
That goddamn riddle gentleman is definitely very familiar with the tourism industry in Gotham City, bastard!
It's not summer now!
Could it be that the damn guy has already visited Gotham City during the summer?
By the way enjoy a hot bikini babes?
"but……"
A confident sneer curled up on little James Gordon's lips.
The riddle gentleman underestimates his driving skills too much.
40 minutes is enough for him to get to Port Miller!
He has seen through the truth!
There is only one truth to the riddle——
Riddler Gentleman will blast the Apollo Speedway in Port Miller at 00:22.
That's a viaduct!
Go, go, go!
Little James Gordon gallops like crazy.
Behind his police car, followed by a large motorcade that was also galloping crazily.
mighty!
