American Comics: Omniscience, Omnipotence, Begins With The Aged of Wolverine
44: Elevator massacre! Three riddles!
Time passes slowly.
Not long after Gotham, which had already entered the evening, it was completely shrouded in the thick night.
Snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the dark alleys of narrow streets began to move out at this time, stirring up the otherwise quiet night.
Hmm——
An ink-colored cloak fluttered, like the swift black figure of a bat, and also flew through the major streets.
"Chen didn't show up last night, I don't know if I can wait for him today."
Bruce, who turned into a vigilante, flashed his eyes, and the hook and claw rope in his hand contracted rapidly, helping him cross the distance of 100 meters and reach the roof of dozens of high-rise buildings.
He stands under a full moon hanging from a wheel, overlooking the neighborhood where Chen Tian frequents at his feet.
The Riddler who appeared in the past two days has caused countless citizens to panic, and even the police station has no way to do it.
And Bruce is also investigating the Riddler's affairs, but he alone seems to be a bit struggling, and he needs a helper Chen Tian is undoubtedly the best one.
"Ah! No! No!! ”
Just as Bruce's eyes kept scanning the street below, a panicked female voice cut through the night sky.
Next second.
Batman sniffed the wind, a few tossing and turning, plus hooks and claws to help, but in a blink of an eye he was already in the alley where the female voice came.
I saw a drunken gangster who was about to violate the woman in front of him, and he didn't notice that there was a dangerous figure behind him.
Blah blah!!
Several muffled sounds of fists colliding with the body sounded, and the gangster who was held in Bruce's hand had fainted.
"Thank you! Thank you! ”
The woman regained her freedom and looked at Batman in thanks, and then quickly left in shock.
"It seems that Mr. Vigilante has not been very popular recently."
At this time, Chen Tian's voice came from behind Bruce.
"You've finally appeared."
Bruce casually dropped the gangster and let it collapse to the ground, turned his head to look at Chen Tian, and his hoarse voice did not fluctuate at all after changing his voice, as if he didn't care about the latter's ridicule.
"The mayor died, but you didn't kill him."
Chen Tian noticed the other party's mood swings and shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone.
"People outside are questioning me, why do you think I didn't do it?"
Bruce was a little surprised when he heard this, and his eyes were puzzled.
"You can't kill people, your butler did it, right?"
Chen Tian laughed.
Bruce was deeply shocked when he heard this, the other party guessed well, he had never killed anyone, this was his insistence in his heart.
I am afraid that after breaking this principle, I will fall into a hell from which I can never turn back.
After all, as a dark knight who is free from the law, if his hands are stained with blood, then it is no different from those crimes.
"I said you would never kill, and no one knows you better than I do."
The corners of Chen Tian's mouth seemed to be smiling, and he looked at the other party and said confidently.
Bruce, who received such an answer, moved slightly in his heart, but did not continue to ask, he knew that if Chen Tian wanted to say, he would naturally say it.
It's just that in Bruce's heart, this teenager who was originally from a mysterious origin suddenly became more and more distant and his back was full of fog.
"Yesterday there was a guy who liked to guess riddles and murdered six important officials in one fell swoop."
"I'm going to get him out tonight, are you interested in joining him?"
Bruce said what he planned for tonight.
"Actually, I don't risk the lives of those officials."
Chen Tian raised his eyebrows, and said with a bit of a smile in his tone: "But I'm quite interested in the guy who guessed the riddle." ”
"In any case, it's good that you're willing to act together."
After hearing Chen Tian's promise to help, Bruce suddenly felt much less stressed.
After all, after several contacts, although he still does not know the true identity of the other party, he has trust in Chen Tian's ability.
"Then without further ado, let's get ready to go."
Chen Tian proposed.
"Wait a minute, the operation to capture the Riddler, there is one person besides the two of us."
Bruce didn't rush to leave and called out to Chen Tian.
"Allies?"
Chen Tian was puzzled at first, but then a dexterous figure flashed in front of him, and he vaguely guessed the identity of the third person in his heart.
At this time, there is a night breeze blowing.
Chen Tian's ears moved, and he heard extremely slight but swift footsteps, coming from far and near.
He laughed a little.
The identity of the ally in Bruce's mouth has been determined.
Not for long.
A figure jumped down from the next building, as dexterous as a cat and landed silently, and the person wearing a cat ear mask appeared in the middle of the two.
"Let me introduce you, this is Catwoman."
Bruce saw her appear and turned to introduce the other party's identity to Chen Tian.
He didn't notice at all that the moment Catwoman on the opposite side saw Chen Tian, his face under the mask instantly turned black.
Catwoman never expected to meet again in this place shortly after escaping from this annoying fellow.
"But fortunately, under the disguise, he can't recognize my identity."
Catwoman quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Chen Tian with a cold gaze.
As for Chen Tian himself, he was surprised that he ran into it so quickly.
It's just that he didn't choose to expose the identity of the other party, "Since you are a Batman ally, you are welcome to join." ”
And Catwoman was still obsessed with the events of the evening, ignored the other party, and turned to look at Bruce, "Are you sure that this little guy who doesn't even look like he has grown his hair can keep up with our rhythm?" ”
"Do you remember the other day when a gang of more than two dozen people was slaughtered?"
Bruce couldn't help but remind.
"You mean?!"
When Catwoman heard this, she immediately understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but take two steps back and look at Chen Tian with wide eyes, and she was afraid for a while.
Today I provoked this guy who looked beautiful and thin, and now I told her that the other party was a murderous maniac?!
Suddenly, Catwoman's body wrapped in tights couldn't help but tremble twice.
"Okay, let's not waste time, let's go."
Chen Tian sensed her fear, found it funny, and immediately suggested.
"I didn't say anything."
Bruce also glanced at Catwoman with a smile, and then took the lead and rushed towards the scene of the murder caused by the Riddler.
........
Time goes on.
Inside the underground parking lot of a government building in Gotham.
In front of the scrapped elevator door.
The police have completely cordoned off the scene.
Detective Gordon was frowning, looking at the blood-stained elevator in front of him.
At this time, Chen Tian and others who received the news arrived here.
"The steel cable of the elevator broke, and it fell sharply from a high place and killed the people inside."
Gordon took a deep look at Chen Tian behind Bruce, and then said with a twinkle in his eyes: "He killed six people at once." ”
"We don't have a clue so far."
Bruce's face was solemn when he heard this, and he observed the mess around him.
The scene of the tragic deaths of six victims yesterday left no trace except for a few riddles without beginning and end.
He hadn't even figured out the Riddler's motive, and he didn't have time to catch a clue.
For a time, everyone at the scene fell into deep thought.
Chen Tian, on the other hand, looked around and walked around, his gaze sweeping over every corner of the scene.
"If you don't know how to investigate, don't destroy the scene at will."
Catwoman looked at Chen Tian and couldn't help but complain.
Chen Tian ignored her and turned to look at Gordon, "What is the identity of decedent?" ”
When Gordon heard this, he remembered the other party's performance when dealing with the birthday boy last time, and paused and said: "The six people yesterday, including tonight's victims, are all politicians with a decisive voice in the Gotham government. ”
While speaking, he pointed to the ground in front of the elevator entrance, "And every murder scene has left these three riddles." ”
Chen Tian looked along the position pointed by the other party and narrowed his eyes slightly.
On the ground, lying quietly three riddles written crookedly written by black paint -
'A diamond plate, a glowing dew, a place you'll never leave.' Where am I? ’
It smells like green paint, pours out like purple paint, brushes on a white van, what is it?' ’
'Some people's nightmares, some people's saviors. My hand was cold and desperate, reaching out to that warm heart. ’
At this time, Gordon's face was serious and continued: "Since last night, we have organized many people to solve and disassemble these words, but we have not been able to get accurate answers. ”
He glanced at Chen Tian, who was in thought, and then added: "I also can't figure out the Riddler's motives for doing this." ”
Just this matter, the entire Gotham Police Department is in trouble.
They hadn't encountered such a difficult criminal for a long time, and the other party was very cautious and couldn't find any clues on the scene.
Even the surveillance footage did not find a suspicious figure.
"Maybe I already know the answer."
Not long ago, Chen Tian, who had already experienced some thought, his eyes flickered and slowly spoke.
When the three people next to him heard this, their eyes focused on him.
