The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 247 Prey ([-])

"Of course. Deal." The director really couldn't stand this kind of crazy person in his heart, but he was relieved after thinking about it for a while. After all, if this person is not a lunatic, then how could he buy this place.

So, he also stretched out his hand, and put on the brightest smile he could squeeze out now, as if the other party had made an extremely correct decision.

"You seem to be very happy." The man still said under his throat.

"Of course I'm happy, oh, not only for me, but also for you, because you are really a discerning person." The director said, and then patted his hand vigorously on the other's palm.

violently
a sudden stab of pain
"Ahhh—what is it?" The headmaster quickly withdrew his hand, and there was already a bloody pinhole in the palm of his hand.

"Hey hey hey, I'm very happy too." The man let out a burst of uncomfortable laughter and said, "Then if you're happy, you should laugh, right? Just like me."

As the man spoke, he raised his head slowly, the shadow of the light went over the brim of his hat, only illuminating the lower half of that weird face.

A shocking scarlet mouth opened with a knife.
"Ha ha ha ha----"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh——"

The weird man laughed, and the director seemed to be laughing uncontrollably, laughing so heart-piercingly that he couldn't even breathe, the muscles in his abdomen began to tear, his face began to convulse, and he couldn't breathe. can't stop.
Gradually, he finally just laughed wildly to death like this, and a ferocious smile became the last expression of his life.

Gotham's sinful wounds are getting bigger and bigger.

There are homicides happening every night. The cases in the Gotham Police Department have piled up like a mountain in just half a month. No one knows why. In short, this city seems to be degrading deeper and deeper. .

Finally, on a restless night, a person was kidnapped.

This person is important, of course, anyone who has anything to do with money is important.

This person is the director of the Gotham City Stock Exchange. He holds a string of passwords to open the securities transaction records. Originally, three people kept this password, but the first two people were killed in a car accident the day before, and the There is no way for the exchange to find two new people to keep the password in such a short period of time. Therefore, the only person who still keeps the password is the director.

Then he has undoubtedly become the most protected target in Gotham, because if the password is not opened, all securities transactions cannot be opened, and as long as it is opened an hour late, then no matter for the city or the residents of the city The loss of money is uncountable.

Therefore, the government quickly arranged a professional team to protect the big man. People from the police station escorted him from work to get off work every day, and many people took turns guarding the house 24 hours a day.

But
He was still kidnapped, and with a huge explosion that no one expected, the house of the director of the exchange turned into a sea of ​​flames, but the director himself lost his trace in the explosion.

A black shadow crossed the sky above Gotham City, then fell suddenly, and finally landed on the roof of the building where the director lived in an unbelievably light posture.

Batman easily crossed the cordon deployed by the police and entered the already messy crime scene.

"Alfred, connect to my scanning line of sight, and tell me immediately if you find anything." He said softly.

"Yes, master. Also, at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, Mrs. Ayer from the municipal office is going to have dinner with you. You have to talk about the investment in the new coast." Inside the mask, the butler's voice was still so steady, as if As long as he is there, everything will be arranged in an orderly manner.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment. If we can find out who did this as soon as possible." Batman said, and then began to search the place.

He turned on his recording system.
"The scene of the crime, 4th Floor, No. 9, Gotham Municipal Avenue, according to the explosion time, 12 hours."

"The impact force is poured from the ceiling from top to bottom. The explosive force is not concentrated. It is a self-made high explosive. The 10th and 9th floors suffered together. The cables and water pipes on the isolation layer were not spared. Under the blockade of the police, the murderer Difficult access to the 9th floor, gas maintenance workers who need to check in and out for a week, or ventilation pipe workers elevator shafts don't let it go, especially the surveillance video on the 10th floor."

"Scan the wall for bullet holes and blood."

As soon as the words fell, two LCD screens fell from the eyes of the bat mask, and powerful X-rays began to cover the entire ruins, collecting all the information about the collapsed and intact ones.

Twenty seconds later, Alfred's voice came over.

"I'm sorry, young master. No bullets were scanned at the scene, and there were no bullet holes on the wall, let alone bloodstains. The system calculates that there are no traces of fighting."

Wayne frowned.

"It's a very strange phenomenon. It is impossible for the victim to disappear at the moment of the explosion. Now I have changed my mind and temporarily booked two possibilities. First, the director of our exchange did not go home at all on the day of the explosion."

"But the surveillance video of the apartment showed that he opened the door of his house 20 minutes before the explosion, and he didn't come out until the explosion."

"Well, that's the second possibility. Our boss went out secretly after entering his house, so he is probably..."

As he said that, Batman came to the window of the room. At this moment, the glass of the entire window was shattered. He stuck his head out of the window. The scanning system of the bat mask was easily attached to a water pipe screw by the window. , found a thread.
"Scan it, Alfred."

"Willing to help, young master blue, nylon material, 30% wool, after repeated ironing, in the consumption records screened by the system, 4 months ago, Mr. Director's credit card had purchased a suit, and the material was the same as this It's the same, and it looks like it was the one he was wearing on the day of the bombing."

"Well, it seems that our victim left here by himself before the explosion. He knew there would be an explosion, or someone deliberately asked him to avoid the police's surveillance and leave his room. But why?"

at this time
"Master, the surveillance video on the 10th floor has been connected. On the day of the explosion, a heating maintenance worker came, but the maintenance company did not receive any relevant calls."
