The Death Knell

"That means you are lucky. I can't leave now. So since you still think the real murderer is someone else, I can only continue to follow your train of thought."

Because he still had to fish in Harley's dream, Su Ming couldn't go to Christopher's dream to pull Batman away. Although he could see what Batman saw now and could communicate with him, he couldn't. Control his actions and thoughts.

So instead of the two arguing endlessly, it would be better to follow Batman's instructions and carefully investigate the inside of the house, preferably the inside of the house before the fire.

"Find the fire first."

The dark Batman probably guessed the reason for Deathstroke's compromise, because that person can't get through now and is just a spectator and consultant, which is actually a good thing for him.

Because this is a nightmare, and Deathstroke has a Sandman by his side at this time, and Sandman is an expert in dreams.

After that, he got up from the dining table and walked to the second floor in the fire scene.

The flames licked his cloak, but made it appear darker, as if blending with the smoke in the house.

The spark-filled stairs creaked and twisted under his feet, but they did not collapse. His steps were steady, but not slow at all.

A few seconds later, the Dark Knight arrived on the second floor and stood in the corridor on the second floor.

The room structure here is in the shape of a flower, arranged around the stairs, and in the flames, many things that can be seen have been destroyed and turned into blackened paint, and the flames poured down the ceiling like waves.

However, this does not have much impact on inferring the fire point, because according to the general situation of man-made arson in the presence of igniters and accelerants, the fire point is not necessarily the hottest burning place, but it must be the first place to smoke. Starting a fire indoors will often leave very obvious traces of smoke on nearby walls.

As for how to determine where traces of smoke first appeared, this requires comprehensive consideration of more than ten reference items such as wind direction, degree of damage to items, type of fire, etc. It is a very complex and comprehensive subject.

Experienced firefighters or fire inspection police officers can be said to be professional counterparts, but they are certainly not as reliable as CSI's professional trace evaluators. People like Barry are actually very suitable for investigating the cause of fires.

But it doesn't matter if there's no Flash, just investigating the fire is no problem for Batman.

In the past, Killer Moth would burn something in Gotham every three days, be it a house, a car, a park, a fountain sculpture, a living person or a pet, etc. Batman had already trained to deal with him.

"Actually, I had a dream to be a firefighter when I was a kid." The perspective followed Batman as he walked around the fire scene. Deathstroke observed the surrounding environment for clues while chatting with the cat: "It's a pity that I don't have that opportunity. Otherwise, I might be a good person now.”

Although Batman still looked expressionless, when he heard this topic, the bat ears on the top of his helmet seemed to move, and his steps unconsciously became lighter when he walked, obviously he also wanted to hear it.

As for his purpose in wanting to know Deathstroke's past, that's a matter of opinion.

"Why?" Qian Cat's Dream doesn't have a good impression of fire. Cats are still afraid of fire. Although some cats like to get into the furnace to keep warm, open flames are still a thing of the past: "You think you are fulfilling your duty to save people?" Isn’t the life of others a sufficient reward?”

After following Deathstroke for so long, Mao Mao still somewhat understands this man. This man lives a very realistic life and can be said to be a true pragmatist.

"No, it's because I didn't go to high school, so I don't have enough academic qualifications to meet the admission standards for firefighters." Su Ming showed a funny expression. Although it happened in his past life, it was still interesting to say: "You're an orphan. "In order to survive, I must first make money. It was my academic qualifications that ruined my path to becoming a superhero."

This joke is a bit cold, and you can see that even A Thousand Cats Dream shuddered.

"Tch, there's no dramatic conflict, meow." The cat lay back without interest, its tail wagging a little: "I thought you saw the story of the farmer and the snake with your own eyes, such as the firefighter who rescued someone and was bitten back. Scenes like one mouthful are disappointing to humanity.”

When I was cold, I quickly put my two front paws under my belly to cover them.

"Haha, your current thoughts are a bit like Gotham." After rubbing the cat's head, Deathstroke glanced at the bathroom on the second floor that flashed past in the projection screen: "The world I lived in before was really not so dark, at most It’s just a little gray, but it’s still much better than Gotham.”

After saying this, he and Cat noticed that the corners of Batman's mouth turned downward. Although the arc was very small, he obviously did not agree with this statement.

Maybe for others, Gotham is a cesspit, a meat grinder where dark lunatics gather; but for Batman, this is his home and the best place in the world.

"Okay, let's get down to business, Slade, where do you think the fire started?"

As a joke, Batman had already checked the four rooms on the second floor. Although he only stood at the door of each room and peeked inside through the raging fire, for him and Deathstroke, it was also enough.

Because he was in a dream, Batman's technological equipment could not be used. This was purely based on detective experience.

"How about we play a game?" Su Ming wanted to have a sense of ritual in his life, so he suggested: "How about Batman and I write our findings on the palms of our hands, and then count one, two, and three and show them out together? "

Although it's a bit cliché, the tacit understanding that happens by chance is actually quite fun and always makes people smile.

He believed that Batman must have figured it out, and there wasn't even anything to question. The evidence was too obvious.

At this time, the room started to flash, and after the fire scene and the original normal house were constantly intertwined, the house returned to its original complete state.

The big bed that was on fire, the curtains that were flying like ashes, the dressing mirror that was deformed in the flames, etc. all became as bright as new again.

It can be seen that Christopher's wife really loves to be clean. At least as a full-time housewife, there is nothing wrong with doing housework.

Of course, if you let a professional housekeeper like Alfred look for trouble, you will definitely find something wrong, but for ordinary people, it is enough to keep the home clean and tidy, and it does not need to be as high as the leather sofa to reflect the To the extent of a human figure.

"The fire started not on the second floor, nor on the first floor, so it must be in the basement."

It's a pity that Batman doesn't have a sense of humor at all, or he doesn't want to put his sense of humor on anyone other than the Joker. Instead of playing a childish "you draw and I guess" game with Deathstroke, he directly said what he thought .
