Chapter 2522: Battle for the Cloak (52)

Chapter 2496: The Battle for the Cape (Fifty-Two)

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Officer Ge Yin was obviously very alert and confused, because the appearance of the two people in front of her looked too strange.

Batman and Batwoman looked at each other again, and Batwoman let go, but the female police officer did not try to attack them, because she had discovered that they were surprisingly powerful and were not ordinary invaders. Without a gun, she could not act rashly.

"We are here to investigate Batman."

"Batman? Who is that? Are you talking about the Spider-Boy who has been wandering around the streets recently?"

There is no doubt that the female police officer's behavior was as if she was saying that there was no Batman in this world. Did they get the world wrong? Did she just mention Spider-Man?

Batwoman didn't know the situation in the other world, but Batman in the main universe knew it. Could this be the other world?

But this was not right, because the news clearly stated that Wayne Group had existed before.

"It seems that this is a fusion dream world." Batman from the main universe said, "The creator of the dream should have merged the memories of several different people to create this place."

"What are you doing here?" the female police officer asked.

"What are you doing here?" Batwoman asked back, while crossing her arms and looking at the female police officer and said, "I don't think a public official needs to appear in the archives at this time."

The female police officer was obviously hit on the heart, and she seemed a little embarrassed, because it was obvious that since she was a police officer, she could come to the archives during the daytime working hours, why did she have to sneak around at night after work?

This means that she must be doing something shady, but this cannot erase the fact that the other party is an intruder.

"Listen, ma'am." Batman came out to smooth things over, "We don't mean to threaten you. We are here just to investigate something about Bruce Wayne."

The female police officer was a little surprised, which made Batwoman observe that she was probably here for Bruce Wayne.

Batwoman glanced at Batman, who paused, then reached out and took off his mask.

The female police officer was completely stunned by the familiar face in front of her.

She took a step back in a panic, and Batman observed her movements, and immediately stepped forward and said, "You know him, right? What is your relationship with him? Did he ask you to come here?"

Faced with a series of questions, the other party was obviously a little flustered. Batman could see that this female police officer was far less sophisticated than Gordon, probably Gordon's apprentice, so it is very likely that she has seen Bruce Wayne.

"We come from another universe." Batman did not expose the fact that this was a dream, but just said as simply as possible: "This universe is in some trouble now, we are here to solve it, if you can provide us with some help, it would be great."

The female police officer swallowed her saliva, "Hmm", although the vigilance in her eyes had not completely disappeared, it was obviously shaken.

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything about Bruce Wayne and the current situation in the city."

The female police officer took a deep breath, but did not start to tell the story. Instead, she stared at them for a while, then turned around and continued to search the shelves in the archive room, saying, "I have never seen you, and you have never seen me. If you want to know something, just look for it yourself."

This is exactly what Batman wants. Listening to ordinary people's stories is inevitably inefficient and inaccurate. It is better to have archive files.

Searching archives is a piece of cake for Batman. He and Batwoman work together and quickly figure out what is going on in this universe.

"It seems that Gordon is in a bad situation." Batman did not deliberately lower his voice. He glanced at the female police officer next to him and said, "It is a disaster for a good policeman to be able to watch the crime happen but be completely powerless to stop it and unable to save the tragedy."

Batwoman saw that Ge Yin's eyes were red. She probably knew better than anyone how bad Gordon's current situation was.

Ge Yin slowly squatted down, looking like she couldn't stand the days of work and emotional shock. Batwoman walked over and patted her shoulder and said, "If there was no accident, you wouldn't be here. Can you tell us what you are looking for here?"

The female police officer squatted there with her eyes closed for a while, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "...the case that year."

"Which one?" Batman asked.

"James Gordon's attack case." Ge Yin seemed to have suddenly figured something out, and said quickly: "Gordon, who was the sheriff at the time, was shot in an alley on his way home. At that time, he was helping the young Bruce Wayne take over the Wayne family's inheritance, so the outside world speculated that the shareholders who wanted to compete for shares and swallow up the Wayne Group sent assassins."

"Gordon was shot twice, one of which injured his spine, leaving him almost paralyzed and bedridden. More than a decade has passed, and almost everyone has forgotten this excellent sheriff. When they mention the old things, they only sigh."

Batman frowned deeply. As Bruce Wayne himself, he knew better than anyone else what happened back then.

First of all, the Waynes were not unaware of their own death. The situation back then had reached a very dangerous situation. They had a back-up plan and were well prepared.

So after they died, those greedy shareholders were unable to make any big waves. All the inheritance and shares were smoothly handed over to Bruce Jr., and no one could interfere.

Secondly, Bruce Jr. himself did not care about those jumping clowns. His own ability was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he did not take this level of business war seriously at all.

And there were indeed many people who helped him at that time. After all, he was a minor at that time, and it was difficult to go through various legal procedures. It is not unreasonable for Batman to have a good impression of police, doctors, and lawyers. When he was in the most isolated and helpless moment of his life, it was these people who helped him.

Assuming that Bruce Wayne in this universe is not a super genius, he may indeed need external help to secure his inheritance. Otherwise, it would be like a child carrying gold through a busy street, and there would be losses.

"Where is Gordon now?" Batman asked, "If I'm not mistaken, he asked you to reinvestigate the case, right? I think I can help in this regard, but I have to meet him first."

The female police officer shook her head and said, "No, this is a secret investigation and no one can know about it."

"Of course, I understand that the hyenas who bit off a piece of meat from this respectable sheriff will not allow him to send them to prison, so at least let me meet Bruce, I think I can help him make better use of the resources in his hands and find out the real murderer who hurt Gordon that year."

The female police officer was obviously stunned, and she instinctively answered, "Resources, what resources?"

"The Wayne couple's legacy." Batman said, "Even if he failed to keep the shares of the Wayne Group and lost almost all of the real industries, the Wayne couple had a lot of savings at that time, and their personal accounts had at least Millions of dollars, as well as various trusts, real estate, and vehicles, even if he didn't do any preservation and investment work, this is not a small amount of money. "

Ge Yin frowned deeply, shook her head, looked at Batman and said: "No, now Bruce rents a house with Gordon, and has to work three jobs to support them. "

"Ridiculous." Batwoman commented: "What about Thomas and Martha's personal property? Let's take a step back, what about my mother's dowry? When she married from the Kane family, my grandfather and grandmother gave her two buildings and a storefront on a commercial street. "

"My parents died at the same time, I am the only heir, and I don't have any relatives or friends who have the right to claim inheritance. What about these inheritances? "

"I... I don't know." Ge Yin shook her head. The female police officer was born a civilian and obviously didn't know about these things.

Batwoman looked up at Batman and immediately realized that there was a problem.

"Show us the files." Batwoman said, "All the files of that case, now."

Ge Yin had no choice but to hand them the files she had just found. The two of them read through them quickly, and at the same time looked up at each other, clearly seeing the doubts in each other's eyes.

"There are too many doubts." Batman stared at the files and said, "Let's not talk about the external environment. From Gordon's description, he saw the killer's blurry figure, and then he was shot and fell to the ground."

"If the murderer wants to fire a second shot, he must adjust the trajectory, because the posture of a standing person is different from that of a lying person. Gordon is fully capable of grasping this short two seconds to draw a gun and shoot, but he just fell to the ground and did nothing, allowing the other party to fire a second shot."

"Could it be..." Ge Yin wanted to think whether Gordon couldn't draw his gun or didn't react because of the pain of being shot, but she couldn't convince herself. Gordon is a well-trained good policeman with a very strong willpower and will never miss any opportunity to catch the murderer.

If there was a slight chance of hitting the murderer by firing a gun while he was falling, and making him unable to escape, Gordon would definitely do so, and he was capable of doing so.

"You can also see the location of the gunshot." Batman pointed to the image on the file and said, "The left abdomen does not affect the use of his right hand, and Gordon has no habit of putting the gun behind his back. At the moment of falling, he had enough time to draw the gun and shoot."

"Unless he didn't want to do it." Batwoman said.

"It was the second shot that paralyzed Gordon." Batman looked at the file and continued, "What reason did he have not to shoot the murderer?"

"I think we should still go and see Bruce." Batwoman said, "At least he was an eyewitness of that period, we..."

"No." Ge Yin raised her voice to interrupt them. Both of them looked at her. Ge Yin emphasized: "Gordon didn't let me tell anyone about the case I was investigating. It was anyone, including Bruce Wayne."

"Did he tell you that?"

"Of course."

Batman and Batwoman paused at the same time because they obviously realized the same thing. They looked at each other and saw the incredible in each other's eyes.
