Chapter 1661 No Time to Die (Twenty-Four)
Chapter 1634 No Time to Die (Twenty-four)
The second target targeted by Spider-Man is the Riddler, who has committed two crimes recently.
The Riddler's method of committing crimes is still the same old way, leaving riddles after killing people to attract Batman to solve the riddles.
The reason why Spider-Man targeted the Riddler is that he has recently committed another serial murder case, and there are already two victims.
Spider-Man saw the photos left at the two crime scenes in Batman's archives, and then he went to the Gotham Police Department to retrieve the victims' appearance, fingerprints and genetic characteristics.
He personally went to the home of the first victim, who was a young man living alone in a middle-class apartment on the Gotham River. He was 26 years old and had no significant characteristics.
He lived on the 23rd floor of the apartment. Spider-Man climbed up the wall of the apartment directly, climbed through the window to enter the room, and then saw the riddle left by the Riddler in the room.
The riddle was carved on a blood-stained wall, and in the middle of the wall was written in blood-colored words "What makes life disappear and reborn?".
Spider-Man checked here and found no useful clues. The victim's autopsy report said that he was stabbed to death from behind, but there was no murder weapon or footprints here.
Contrary to Batman's expectations, Spider-Man did not stay here for a second. He did not even make any move to look for clues, but left here very quickly without even looking at the riddle.
Then, he came to the home of the second victim, this time in a wooden house in the suburbs of Gotham. It was also a single adult male, and there was nothing special to note.
The riddle left on the wall this time was "What makes the seeds grow and then abandon them?".
Spider-Man took another quick turn here, then found a vacant lot near the graffiti wall in the old town, and found a piece of chalk thrown on the ground, and drew a rough map of Gotham on the wall.
He marked the places where the two victims lived on the map, and then randomly pointed to a few points in other districts, and finally marked a central point on the traffic route.
Half an hour later, a huge light projection appeared at the central turntable of Gotham, which read.
"Riddler! I guessed your riddle! The code representing the answer is: the only strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equation plus the two positive numbers of the Zeta function of the Riemann conjecture plus the ordinal number of the infinite non-1 result in the Colaz conjecture plus the first digit of the largest cardinality..."
After seeing the reply that was as long as a small essay, Batman was slightly stunned, and then shook his head. Most of the mathematical conjecture propositions on it have not yet been accurately answered by humans. Even to crack one of them, it would take a mathematician half a lifetime or even a lifetime.
Batman knew that the Riddler had very strong mathematical ability, but it was more inclined to cryptography rather than mathematical conjectures. He didn't think that the Riddler would really study these conjectures because of this reply.
Batman's intuition was right. The Riddler did not plunge into the vast ocean of mathematics. He just jumped out from the vast sea of Gotham criminals and shouted angrily at Spider-Man: "Damn kid! You want to trick me, you are insulting my puzzle!!!"
When Gordon arrived, the Riddler was pressed on the roof by Spider-Man. Seeing the Riddler being handcuffed and sent to the police car, Spider-Man said to him very seriously: "I really guessed your riddle. I didn't lie to you. The answer is 'man'."
The Riddler immediately laughed sharply. The two male victims he chose had their girlfriends or wives aborted for them, which foreshadowed the end of life and the beginning of the growth and abandonment of seeds. In a sense, the answer "man" is correct.
But this riddle also hides a deeper answer, that is Batman. Both riddles foreshadow the relationship between Batman and Robin. Batman gave Robin a new life, let Robin die, let Robin grow, and drove Robin out of Gotham.
The Riddler was about to tell Spider-Man the hidden answer proudly, but Spider-Man shrugged in advance and said, "I know you have another answer, but I hid this hidden answer in that pile of guesses. How can you deny that I didn't solve your riddle before you solve it?"
"But, but those are unconfirmed..."
"I come from another universe, how do you know that these things have not been confirmed in our universe?"
Suddenly, the Riddler's mood was heavier than the night in Gotham - someone couldn't sleep at night, but it was definitely not Spider-Man.
Spider-Man's third target was the Joker. It can be seen that he was very angry about what the Joker had done before, but Batman had no hope that Spider-Man could deal with the Joker.
The Joker is indeed the most comprehensive villain in Gotham City, or his ability is relative to Batman.
Take the example that just happened. Batman made a water-proof and fire-proof uniform for Spider-Man, and he could immediately find a metal needle to penetrate the uniform and pierce Spider-Man's skin.
This is more like a rule. Batman can always counter the Joker, and the Joker can always counter Batman. This is a necessary law for the universe to operate.
Because Batman is the incarnation of the top intelligence in this universe, being able to counter Batman means that the Joker can counter anyone. If Spider-Man appeared in front of him for the first time, it would be fine. The spider sense can give him the upper hand, but now the Joker has been prepared for Spider-Man's ability. It is difficult to succeed again.
And what happened next was beyond Batman's expectations.
Spider-Man found the Joker's home, but it was not difficult. There were too many people in Gotham City who knew where the Joker lived. Batman certainly knew it, but what could he do? Beat him up again and throw him into the insane asylum, and then watch him escape from prison and listen to his ridicule of "Batman disregarding the law"?
But Spider-Man did not rush into the Joker's house. He asked Batman for a credit card and then bought out all the discounted goods in the cheap supermarket within ten kilometers of the Joker's home.
After the bombing, the Joker went home to buy groceries. He was stunned when he saw the completely emptied cheap fast food area and the surprisingly expensive boutique vegetable area next to it.
He ran out of the supermarket like he was fleeing, and came to another supermarket before getting off work, and then found that the French bread, hamburger buns and expired luncheon meat that were supposed to be discounted were gone.
And the kid called Spider-Man was pushing a shopping cart full of expired food and greeted him.
"Hey, Mr. Joker, you're here. Did you get off work at the circus? What a coincidence, you're here to buy discounted fast food too?"
"I'm afraid I can only tell you that you're late. Today during the day, I helped the stocker in this supermarket move some things. He likes me very much, and we exchanged contact information."
"He said that once the goods are discounted in the future, he will notify me to come half an hour in advance, and I can take the discounted price tag to check out as soon as it is posted."
Spider-Man snapped his fingers, then pointed his index finger at the Joker and said, "I'll tell you another trick. Usually, you can't save up for discounted goods. You can earn points from the supermarket, but if you buy the combination products that the salesman sells, he can count the discounted products you buy into your points. "
"Supermarket points can be exchanged for a lot of good things. You can get a large roll of toilet paper in about two weeks. If you save a lot, you can also get a VIP card. You didn't miss it before? That's a pity!"
"Okay, I've bought everything I want to buy. I wish you a happy life, Mr. Joker, goodbye."
Spider-Man whistled and left with a full shopping cart of discounted products, leaving the Joker alone standing in front of the empty shelves.
Half an hour later, the Joker returned home empty-handed. He just wanted to take a breath and rest on the sofa for a while, and heard a harsh noise of "Zi——" from upstairs.
The Joker looked up at the ceiling and found that the noise had disappeared. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard "Boom boom boom boom boom" from upstairs.
The Joker clenched his fists, and his brain nerves, which were already confused due to madness, began to buzz. When the noise came from upstairs for the fifteenth time within an hour, the Joker finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He knocked on the neighbor's door with a fire axe, but the one who opened the door was not his thin and dark neighbor Richard, but Spider-Man.
"Oh, Mr. Joker, you live here, what a coincidence! I'm helping my new friend Richard fix his crooked door frame. He lives alone and has tuberculosis, so he really doesn't have the strength to push the door frame straight. But it doesn't matter, I'll drive a few nails in and guarantee that it won't be crooked for a year."
The Joker gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but Spider-Man stretched out a finger and said, "Don't worry, I've already reported to the nearby community, and all the construction will be completed within the specified time and will never disturb the residents. I also called the police at the police station and reported all the tools I used."
"I also went to a decoration supply store in the suburbs. All the wood, paint, and glue all met the environmental protection regulations of New Jersey. I went to the tax bureau to check the owner's tax issues to ensure that he did not evade taxes. I also checked Mr. Richard's rental contract and the landlord's background to ensure that all construction was legal and compliant."
"I just went to the supermarket. When I went to deliver candy to the neighbors, I bought a few more bags of candy and gave them to all the neighbors around. They all agreed with my construction because they thought that the noise when Richard opened the door at night was too loud because of the crooked door frame. As long as I fixed it, it would be fine. "
"Oh, when I went to deliver candy to the neighbors just now, I heard that Aunt Mary's stove downstairs was broken. I made a preliminary inspection and found that there might be a problem with the gas pipeline. The line in her house was too old. I planned to contact the gas bureau and the electricity bureau to re-lay the pipeline and change the height of her stove that was not ergonomic. "
"When I went to the rooftop to confirm the building structure before, I found that this old apartment seemed to have some leaking problems. I went to the nearest construction site and asked them if they could give me the unused plastic sheeting. They agreed, but I had to work part-time as a bricklayer there. I could re-waterproof the roof in two days."
"In this case, I will repair the door frame from Monday to Thursday, wait for the gas and electricity bureaus to come to check on Friday, rest on Saturday and Sunday, rebuild the stove from Monday to Wednesday, lay waterproofing on Thursday, Friday and the Monday of the following week, and then change the tires of the wheelchair of old Bond on the second floor, and help clean up his house."
"By the way, Mr. Joker, I saw that your house number seemed to be a little crooked before, maybe the nails fell off, I just happen to have extra nails here, while the glue solidifies, I will help you replace it."
"I don't need... Stop!"
"Sure enough, the nails are crooked, don't worry, give me five minutes, I promise the house number will be fixed Like new, good neighbor Spider-Man, you are trustworthy..."
"Mr. Joker, you forgot to close the door, God, why is your house so messy? You must be too busy at work or have difficulty moving, how about I get some cleaning tools to help you clean it up?"
"Oh, God, the door frame of your bedroom door is also crooked, and your stove, is it for a three-year-old child? It's too low, not good for your waist, you have a shovel and a screwdriver here, I can help you fix it together... God, Mr. Joker, what's wrong with your face? !"
"Don't come over! ... Batman!!!"
Joker: Is there anyone to take care of it!
