Chapter 2183: Battle of Two Cities! (Twenty-Five)

The Joker had to admit that he did destroy the crime scene in advance and took a hair from the body. This was indeed his fault, but after all, he also needed to investigate, and the evidence was first come first served, which was excusable.

But the Joker was very careful not to leave any of his footprints at the scene. The shoes he wore had no patterns at all, and he did not step on any soil when walking, and he deliberately did not use force on the soles of his feet to avoid detecting the complete shape of his feet through instruments.

So the only footprint at the scene was the half footprint in the soil next to the body.

The Joker remembered very clearly that the blood of the corpse flowed into the soil, causing the originally dry soil to become moist. The shoes stepped half on the tiles and half on the moist soil, leaving half a footprint.

Note that the half footprint left on the soil is uneven, and it cannot be said to be a print. It is more like a three-dimensional model. Where the pattern on the sole of the foot is convex, it is concave in the soil, and vice versa.

As we all know, three-dimensional things are always more attractive to people's attention, and they are much easier to find than an inconspicuous pattern printed on a flat surface.

But the Joker hid in the shadow of the prison van, watching Batman walk around for at least a minute, but he didn't see the footprint.

He was sure that Batman didn't see it but didn't care, but he didn't see it from beginning to end.

The Joker hid in the prison van and looked left and right, and finally found it reluctantly. It might be because the footprint was just under the street lamp, without side light, so the three-dimensional was not very obvious.

And the footprint was located on the left side of the prone body, a little below the left upper arm, hidden in the shadow left by the body, and on top was the fatal wound left by the murder weapon, probably maybe it was not particularly easy to see at a glance.

But whose good Batman only checked one side when searching the body? ! !

This Joker didn't have a bad day, but he just experienced the longest minute.

He really wanted to rush out and grab Batman's collar and ask, what are you walking around for? ! !

If you want to walk around, you can walk around, but can you walk around more comprehensively? There was only four square meters of space around the body. Batman walked for a minute and walked two and a half square meters.

Because the body fell near the prison van, the side close to the prison van was a little narrow, but as long as you walk to the head of the body and look back, you can definitely see the footprints.

But this Batman just rubbed that side like taking a bath, and walked back and forth there, like a polar bear with stereotyped behavior in the zoo, shaking his head back and forth in that place.

Did he discover himself?

The Joker couldn't help but think so, but he was not sure that this Batman had seen the Joker, and even if he had seen him, shouldn't he rush up even more angrily? What's the matter with turning around and walking away?

Wait, the Joker thought of another question. This footprint should be the clue left by the Joker in this universe to deliberately mislead Batman? ...Is it intentional?

After Batman left, the Joker got out of the prison van, and then he also became a polar bear with stereotyped behavior and began to stroll around this side of the body.

He strolled around for no other reason, just to see why Batman was strolling around here.

After looking for a long time, the Joker really didn't see any clues here that were worth Bruce Wayne's wandering for even a minute, which made him lose confidence.

Although the Joker is hardly known for his detective skills, he has been fighting wits and courage with Batman for such a long time, at least his anti-reconnaissance skills are comparable to Batman's. As long as he doesn't want Batman to find him, it will be difficult for Batman to find him.

But the Joker looked left and right, up and down, and this was just an ordinary murder and jailbreak scene. He could completely reproduce the whole process in his mind.

A prison van turned a corner and drove into the street. The headlights illuminated the bushes of the street houses, and behind the bushes stood a dark figure holding a pitchfork in his hand.

The cordon reflected brightly under the illumination of the headlights. The driver braked suddenly. He didn't know what happened in front, so he got off the car to check. The police officer escorting the prisoner in the prison van also got off.

But at this time, a figure with long curly hair rushed over from the side of the prison van and attacked the policeman from behind. The pitchfork pierced the policeman's chest and the policeman fell straight down, with blood all over the ground.

The figure spread his legs and stood on both sides of the policeman's waist. He began to feel for the key on his body. When he felt for the key on the left side, he found that the key was fixed on his waist. In order to pull the key off, he squatted hard to the left side, and the front half of his foot left a deep footprint on the soil.

Then he stood up, opened the door of the prison van and said a few words to the prisoner inside. The prisoner got out and the two left together.

The whole process of the crime was not bright at all. It was just an ordinary case of stopping a car and robbing a prison. Moreover, the trajectory of the two people's actions was clearly written on the ground. Batman deduced that the whole process would take less than three seconds.

In order to prevent any omissions, the Joker carefully went around here again, and the Joker left reluctantly until the detectives who went to deal with the explosion came back.

There are two more points that puzzled the Joker just now, or one, that is, Batman was not wearing equipment, and he just saw Batman falling from midair.

Usually for the need of self-protection, Batman would not casually expose his true face to others, so not wearing equipment and not wearing a mask is itself a suspicious point.

And the Batman that the Joker knows is just an ordinary person. All his abilities rely on high-tech equipment, but ordinary people can't fall from the top of a building in casual clothes without any injuries.

The Joker recalled carefully. He just saw Batman retract his hand, but there was no visible hook being retracted into the equipment on his wrist, so what would he use?

The Joker moved to the street on one side with the flow of people, and then pretended to be afraid and hid in the bushes. He remembered that Batman fell here at that time.

The light of the police's flashlight flashed, and the Joker's eyes lit up, because he saw a glimmer of something between the stone slabs on the ground.

When no one was paying attention, he walked over and touched it with his hand, only to find that it was just a spider silk. When he took it in his hand, it looked like a web woven by an ordinary spider.

The Joker frowned. He felt that this was not a coincidence, but he was not sure whether this was the special feature of the Batman in this universe. He needed more evidence.

Batman was high and difficult to track, but the crime scene just now had given the Joker enough clues. He could track the Joker in this universe.

While walking to the other side of the street, the Joker sketched his image in his mind. He was a middle-aged man about 1.85 meters tall, not light in weight, that is, not thin, with slightly curly long hair. Judging from the texture of his hair, it was not long before it was bleached and dyed, only about a few weeks. His walking posture was relatively upright, his feet exerted even force, and his steps were stable.

The Joker estimated in his heart that he was indeed not a detective like Batman, and he could not estimate the other party's occupation and education level from a footprint. He only knew that the other party should be stronger than himself, but his experience as a clown was definitely not as rich as his own.

The Joker was sure that his self in another universe left from this direction. Just as he was about to look for footprints around, he saw a very obvious pool of glass fragments at his feet.

The Joker didn't even need to walk over to take a closer look. A picture immediately flashed in his mind - the Joker walked over, the Joker suddenly turned around and knocked out the person behind him, the Joker smashed the car window glass, broke the door lock, threw the person in, and drove away.

The Joker was silent.

First of all, this is a wealthy area. The cheapest car parked on the roadside costs tens of thousands of dollars, and it is a new car purchased through formal channels, not a second-hand black car that can be seen everywhere in the slums.

You stole a car from here and ran away. Do you really think that the other party has no money, no time, and no leisure to catch you?

One of the characteristics of the Joker's success in Gotham is that he really knows the times. In his spare time, he will never provoke anyone outside the slums and will not cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

He does make a living by robbing and stealing, and occasionally does some black-eating-black activities, but he only picks on the weak. This is just a means for him to maintain his basic living needs, not his work, so there is no need to make it difficult for himself.

Rushing into the rich area to rob a car is a relatively difficult five-star task even among the monsters in Gotham.

Because you have to deal with not only the rich people themselves, but also the highly professional armed security guards that money can find for them, the elite lawyers in society, the jury that is strict with themselves and extremely fair, and even the world-famous elite killers.

For these crazy people in Gotham, these people are not impossible to deal with, but you have the time to deal with them, why not just deal with Bruce Wayne?

The Joker stood there and opened his mouth, then stepped decisively to the opposite side, and deliberately walked more than 200 meters away to prevent the rich man who found his car missing and the patrolling security guards from thinking that he had any clues about the car thief.

The Joker looked down at his watch again. Okay, judging from the location of the scattered glass and the wetness of the water stains on the ground, the car has been gone for more than an hour. He doesn't need to look for the Joker all over the street. He can go directly to the police station to find the car.

But the Joker never expected that he would find not only the car but also the car thief himself at the police station.

The Joker was caught.

The new city is a bit big, and the Joker can't find the original Gotham police station, so he found the nearest police station, which can also be said to be a police station dedicated to serving this wealthy area.

Sure enough, before he entered, he heard a very authentic white accent cursing, probably scolding the security guards for poor security, which led to his car being stolen.

The sheriff explained with sweat on his forehead that they found the car back within an hour after it was stolen. Although the Joker had expected this result, he still sighed in his heart.

As a result, the next second he heard the sheriff say that the car thief was also arrested.

This guy is smart. The clown was thinking in his heart at that time, no wonder he dared to steal cars in the rich area. It turned out that he had already found a buyer. He must have contacted a car thief in advance and handed the car to the car thief after transporting the goods, so that the car thief would take the blame for him.

As a result, the sheriff's words shot into the clown's heart like a sharp sword.

"This guy might be a drug addict who sneaked in from some slum. He dyed his hair green and smashed your car window glass as a drum. In fact, we have been prepared for this..."

Hearing this, the clown hurriedly went around the back of the police station and climbed up the drainpipe to the balcony on the second floor of the police station. He didn't go inside, but hid in the corner of the balcony. He saw a burly figure with green hair sitting on the interrogation chair and being interrogated.
