   Chapter 114 Unraveling the Mystery (Subscribe!)

   At the moment when "Joker" appeared.

   There was a moment of silence in the noisy Gotham!

   It is estimated that in Gotham, there is no one person who does not know the existence of "Joker".

   That was the maniac who brought fear to Gotham City as the king of darkness twenty years ago.

   And he is a very popular lunatic.

   "Joker!"

   "How could it be him!"

   "That lunatic?"

   "Didn't he die with Batman twenty years ago?"

"and many more!"

  Comments from all over Gotham City converged, almost overturning the clouds in the sky.

   James Gordon Jr. had just finished searching the clock tower and was standing under the clock tower, wondering where the riddle gentleman had gone, when he happened to witness the scene of "The Return of the Clown".

  In an instant, his face changed drastically.

impossible!

  The Joker… is dead!

   That year, old Gordon witnessed the Joker's body with his own eyes!

impossible!

impossible!

impossible!

   He screamed frantically in his heart.

   But the phantom of the clown in the sky, that crazy gesture, is clearly the same as the clown at the beginning!

  Although James Gordon Jr. was still young twenty years ago, there are still precious video materials preserved from his father, Gordon Sr.

  Batman once violently "interrogated" the Joker in the Gotham Police Department.

   in different parts of Gotham City.

   Burnley District.

  Everyone's attention was drawn to the image in the sky.

   Zhu Yuner hid in the dark.

   looked up at the sky.

  Although others don't recognize him, in the Arkham Nursing Home, Zhu Yuner once heard Pan Zhengyi's laughter and recognized Pan Zhengyi at a glance.

   "What the **** is that guy doing?"

  Su Xiaosu silently kicked a wall, also looking at the influence in the sky, thoughtfully.

   At this moment, Zhu Yuner turned her head and smiled at Su Xiaosu: "Thank you, Sister Susu, if you hadn't saved me, I might have died long ago."

   Thinking of the scene when the street suddenly burst into flames during the day, when she recalled it now, she couldn't help but feel a little lingering in her heart.

  Fortunately—

   "Huh, but because of this, I finally understand..."

   Zhu Yun'er suddenly smiled coldly, and she looked at herself.

   Originally, she was severely injured and had bullet holes all over her body.

   But now, all her injuries have healed, even the bullet holes on her skin have recovered as before, her skin is fair and tender, and not even a single scar is left.

   Naturally, the health value also returned to full value.

  Su Xiaosu's combat power is indeed terrifying.

   was able to rush out of the hail of bullets with one of her wounded.

   This muscle... Sure enough.

  Zhu Yuner silently opened the "Evil List" and took a look.

   This look.

   made her pupils shrink slightly.

  …

  【Evil List】

  [Gotham Guilty] 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%)

  …

   Zhu Yun'er thought at first that she was recovering from her serious injury, lost too much blood, and was a little dazzled.

   Could it be that there is a majority of zeros.

   But look again.

  It turns out...no!

   is really more than 50,000 sin worth!

   That guy... did he violate the law?

  How can you accumulate so many sins in a short period of time!

If    is deducted with human life, this is equivalent to more than 5,000 human lives.

   Even if Zhu Yuner were to kill the wheat piece by piece, it would take a long time to kill.

   Not to mention... the citizens of Gotham City are not as easy to kill as they think.

   This point, Zhu Yuner has personally experienced.

   Deeply touched.

   "Wait, don't tell me..."

   Zhu Yuner frowned.

   thought for a few minutes.

  Suddenly, those tight brows stretched out.

"Criminal...not necessarily murder! He was actually one step ahead of him! Humph, 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 Pan Zhengyi. , robbed our youth potion!"

  I didn't expect that Zhu Yuner would regret a small thing until now.

   But it was Pan Zhengyi's pot originally, and Zhu Yun'er put the pot on Yi Rin's head by the way.

   Zhu Yun'er's eyes flickered with a cold light of indifference.

   At that moment, she was walking on the road with a bit of power like an emperor on a tour.

  In the Dragon Country...No one can offend the Zhu family!

   What's more, he's just a nameless person!

  …

  …

   "Call—"

  The fat man was holding a large bag of fragrant fried chicken drumsticks in one hand and running on the path in the dark night.

   He turned his head and glanced at Pan Zhengyi in the sky. Although he was shocked, he quickly calmed down.

   "Isn't it just COSPLAY... Who wouldn't? But that guy is very realistic... I almost thought it was a clown reality show, fat man... This guy shouldn't be a senior two-thorned ape, right?"

   The fat man devoured a large bag of fried chicken thighs like a jujube.

  Li Erpang patted his bulging belly. He was full and satiated, and his fat was thick. Finally, he felt a little bit of security.

   The entire Gotham City was briefly confused because of the return of the "Joker".

   Li Erpang finally escaped the pursuit of the "good citizens" temporarily. Taking advantage of the darkness, he smashed the window of one of the houses with his palm, hid inside, and rested for a while.

   In Gotham City today, 70 to 80 percent of the citizens are outside.

   is wandering with guns and guns.

  The old saying goes: the most dangerous place is the safest place.

   Now the fat man is out of sight of the citizens and hides in the house, but he has won a chance to breathe.

   Li Erpang rested for a while.

   Then he opened the "Sin List" and took a look.

   narrowed his eyes instantly.

   Although he couldn't tell from the surface, his eyes did widen a little.

A little bit.

   Squinting is a family heritage, and he is also very helpless.

   He suddenly remembered the reminder he received after he robbed the Grandpa fast food restaurant.

   "That is, besides robbery, is there any other way to accumulate sin value faster?"

  Thinking of this, Li Erpang gritted his teeth and sent a series of messages to Yi Rin.

   was automatically replied: The apostle is busy, please do not disturb!

   "Fuck!"

  Li Erpang has no culture, so he can only shout a scumbag to express his mood.

  Irin is not very kind!

   The team that we said was good!

   We agreed to fly together!

   It’s okay to leave the fat man secretly in the park and ignore it.

   Send a message anyway!

   You promised to go to the white head together, but you quietly baked the oil!

but.

   Li Erpang was just complaining in his mouth and in his heart.

   After several trials in the real world, he was not so naive when he reached this level.

   Yi Rin was able to give him a "potion of youth" in the nursing home, which already made Li Erpang feel that there were 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 a secret rivalry relationship.

  No one admits defeat.

   If you can't go to hell, you should burn high incense.

  Who wants to get a higher clearance rating.

   "Hum hum... Since that's the case..."

  Li Erpang silently made up his mind.

  …

at the same time.

  The sky of Gotham City.

   "Joker" is still laughing wildly.

   laughed wildly.

   “Jie Jie Jie Jie—”

   Laughter means nothing.

   also doesn't have any lines.

   But it was this crazy laughter that seemed to cast a shadow over Gotham City.

   Nobody knows.

at the same time.

  The top floor of the Wayne Building.

  The Wayne Building is Gotham City's most famous landmark.

   is also the tallest building.

  In fact, with today's technology level, Gotham City is not unable to build a higher and more spectacular building than the "Wayne Building".

   but dare not.

  Because, as we all know, in Gotham City, Bruce Wayne is the richest.

  No one dares to try the supreme power of banknote ability.

  This room on the top floor of Wayne Building has transparent glass on three sides.

  In the room, there is a spacious round bed.

   An old man with grey hair but an erect back suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

  Beside the old man, there was a hot young woman, wrapped 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 got under the quilt and wriggled silently.

  The old man looked out the window.

   I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not.

   That huge "clown" phantom suddenly turned his head.

   seemed to pass through the transparent glass on the top floor of Wayne Building. After the hideous clown was painted, a pair of confused eyes met the white-haired old man on the bed.

   "Mmmmmmm-"

   A strange sound came from under the quilt.

The    girl vaguely called out the old man's name.

   "Bruce...Bruce..."

  Bruce Wayne.

his name.

  Bruce Wayne's mouth twitched slightly.

  I don’t know what it means.

   "Duang!"

  Suddenly!

   A loud Q-bomb sounded from the Gotham citywide broadcast.

   Like something was smashed.

  Zizzy—

   The "Joker" phantom in the sky suddenly became distorted and blurred.

   "Quick! That's the pervert!"

   "How dare you rob the GBC broadcaster?"

   "Hastily, kill him!"

   "Looking for shit—"

   chu chu ---

   Continuous gunshots rang out.

   The figure of "The Clown" is in the sky... scurrying around.

   other than broadcasting.

   The entire Gotham City was once again plunged into an eerie silence.

  Bruce Wayne: "…"

   Gotham: "…"

  Li Erpang: "…"

   Gordon & Son: "…"

  Dr. Jack: "…"

   Zhu Yuner and Su Xiaosu: "…"

  Irin: "Hehe, it really is that guy's style."

  …

  …

   Gotham City.

   Late at night.

  Tonight is like a celebration.

   Everyone is doomed to sleepless nights.

   "Don't bother about that 'clown'."

   James Gordon Jr. sneered.

   He still keeps the teaser for the Riddler.

  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 divided the world in two, and I will face the bell at midnight and walk towards the first ray of dawn in Gotham. A **** who is half-human and half-beast comes, and I will break 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 "Riddle Gentleman", Edward Rin, Sincerely】

"What exactly does that mean?"

   Little James Gordon felt a pain in his forehead.

   is not just the back of the head.

   It should be thinking too much and touching the wound at 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 say what was wrong.

   is always a little weird.

   He found that the young riddle gentleman was different from the riddleman twenty years ago.

   If you say the Riddler 20 years ago, he was wise but crazy.

  Then the riddle gentleman gave him the feeling that he was extremely calm and rational, as if everything was in his chest.

   In comparison, the riddle gentleman is more difficult to deal with than the riddle man.

   In the best-selling book The Legend of the Riddler, several incidents of Batman defeating the Riddler were recorded.

   In addition to Batman's wisdom, the Riddler lost several times, all because of Batman's aggressive tactics.

  Under anger, the flaw was revealed.

  The Riddler's weakness is obvious...his intelligence cannot be disregarded.

   Although the Riddler from twenty years ago was also very scary, he was also an opponent who ate routines.

   "The Legend of Batman" also summed up a lot of experience in dealing with the Riddler.

   But James Gordon Jr. found that the experience of dealing with riddlers was completely inapplicable to "The Riddler Gentleman".

   Little James Gordon glanced at his watch silently.

the time is…

   [23:35].

and many more!

   Midnight is coming!

   Sheriff Gordon, who frantically searched for the riddle gentleman in Gotham City, wasted so much time unknowingly.

   That dead fat man and two other eccentric female criminals had already been left behind by Sheriff Gordon at this moment.

   Fake clowns?

   is completely ignored.

   His mind is now full of those **** puzzles.

   and the gracious but terrifying gentleman of riddles.

   "Time is running out."

   Little James Gordon suddenly gritted his teeth and dialed a number on his mobile phone.

   Soon, the call was connected.

  The other end of the phone was silent.

   But James Gordon Jr. shouted—

"dad!"

  …

  …

  【23:40】

  The top floor of the Wayne Building.

   is still that room.

   The bathroom light is on.

  The translucent glass reveals a beautiful back, and the flesh is hidden.

  Bruce Wayne gracefully shook the wine glass, sipping the expensive red wine in the glass with satisfaction.

  The night is too beautiful, no matter how dangerous it is, there are always people who stay up all night with dark eyes.

   But it's actually not that expensive.

   Lafite in 1869.

   Hmm... Actually, the taste is just average.

   It’s just that Bruce couldn’t find a better wine.

   There is no other way but to do it.

  Bruce Wayne decided to drink half of it and use the rest to rinse his mouth.

   can never be wasted.

   At this moment, on the bedside table of the round bed, the mobile phone vibrated silently.

  Bruce Wayne has never used a phone ringtone in his life, it's all vibration.

   There is no special reason, just get 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 the song, uh, ah ah, it is very pleasant.

  Bruce silently walked to the floor-standing bed, overlooking Gotham City, which had become chaotic again, and answered the phone.

"Old boy."

  Bruce couldn't help but smile when he answered the phone.

   In Gotham, there is only one person who will use this number to contact him.

   "Trouble? You know, I've been retired for a long time. Now Gotham doesn't need a masked knight flying in the dark."

  Bruce laughed self-deprecatingly and made a joke by the way.

   "Wait, Riddle? The Riddler? Wait... what did you say? Riddle Gentleman? Very young?"

   Bruce Wayne's cloudy eyes lit up slightly.

"interesting…"

  …

  …

   "Damn!"

   Jr. James Gordon hung up the phone gloomily.

   "Sir, what's the matter?"

   "It's the Aparo Freeway! That **** 'Gentleman Riddle' is going to blow up the Aparo Freeway at 00:22!"

  The surrounding Gotham police officers were dumbfounded when they heard the words.

  Although their IQ is not high, they are also involved in solving puzzles with the mentality of "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high".

   "No time to explain! Go! Get in the car!"

   Little James Gordon got into the police car without saying a word, intending to ride the car himself.

   "But sir, it takes at least an hour to get to the Apparo Expressway, and we only have 40 minutes left until 00:22! If you add the traffic jam—"

   "From here to the Apparo Highway, all traffic is closed! Immediately! Get everyone moving!"

   "But sir, speeding is a crime..."

   "We are using the fastest speed to eliminate criminals! This is not called speeding!"

   Little James Gordon stepped on the accelerator with one foot, and the tachometer instantly reached 5,000 rpm. Two columns of black smoke spewed from the police car's exhaust pipe, and the police car rushed out with a roar.

   The other police officers reacted and drove to keep up.

   James Gordon Jr. directly soared to 160 kilometers per hour.

   This is not speeding.

  During the crazy racing, his father's words still echoed in his mind.

   He originally just had a try mentality and asked for help with the previous Gotham Sheriff... James Gordon.

   is old Gordon.

   is also the current mayor of Gotham City.

   Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, his father really solved the answer to the riddle.

  My dad really deserves to be my dad!

   When he knew the answer, James Gordon Jr. suddenly realized that the answer to the original puzzle was so simple.

  …

The first two sentences of   , [divide the world into two], and [the bell to meet midnight] actually refer to the time.

   Divide the 24 hours of the day into two parts, starting from midnight, which is zero.

  【Step towards the first ray of light of Gotham】, which can be regarded as a supplementary reminder of the previous two sentences.

   And the latter [a **** who is half human and half animal] actually refers to the "Capricornus" in the twelve constellations.

  Because in the legend, "Capricorn" is a **** who is half human and half animal with goat horns.

   Capricornus dates from December 22 to January 19.

   corresponds to the time...after midnight, 00:22 to 01:19!

   And the meaning of [I will break off the god's head with horns] is very clear.

  The crime time indicated by the riddle gentleman is—00:22!

  【Second Firework】Alluding to the way the Riddle Gentleman is about to commit a crime... an explosion.

   The same fate as the Gotham Police Department.

   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 inscription, the word "Hot" was used.

   "Heavy" is mostly used to describe snow, but it is used by the riddle gentleman to describe winter. No wonder James Gordon Jr. finds this grammar a bit odd.

   Feeling that "Gentleman Riddle" is not very good at English.

turn out to be-

  The riddle gentleman is not bad at English, but has a different situation!

  “Heavy” has another meaning, which alludes to traffic jams.

   And the word "Hot", in addition to the meaning of "hot", is also often used to describe the "hot" figure of a girl.

   As for 【Summer】 and 【Hot】, people immediately think of a place!

   That’s it… Miller Harbor Beach!

   The whole sentence is combined, and it really refers to only one place, passing through the most congested traffic on Miller Harbor Beach!

   is—

   Apparo Highway!

  Why do you think so?

  Because it is clearly written in "Gotham City Travel Guide"-

"Yo! Summer is here! Welcome to Gotham City, where the folk customs are simple! At Miller Harbor Beach, there are blue sky, white clouds, and hot bikini girls. Action is worse than action, and action is worse than bird movement, what are you waiting for! Yo yo trouble Cech!"

   That **** riddle gentleman is definitely very familiar with Gotham City's tourism industry, bastard!

   It's not summer now!

  Could it be that the **** guy had already visited Gotham City in the summer?

  By the way, enjoy a hot bikini babes?

"but…"

   Little James Gordon's mouth evoked a confident sneer.

  The riddle gentleman underestimates his own driving skills.

  40 minutes, enough time for him to reach Miller Harbor!

   He has seen the truth!

   There is only one truth to the puzzle—

   Gentlemen of Riddles will detonate the Apparo Highway in Port Miller at 00:22.

   That's a viaduct!

  Rush rush!

   James Gordon Jr. galloped wildly.

   In the back of his police car, followed by a large convoy of cars that were also galloping wildly.

   Mighty!

   In order to write the brain-burning and interesting copy of Gotham City, the author Jun lost a pinch of hair. The readers and grandpas don’t express it~
