Then, Arkham Asylum was built. A place where they receive the "love and attention" they deserve.
Time and time again, supervillains are imprisoned without real punishment, such as the death penalty.
It is thanks to these "just" and moral people with their "sacred laws"
As for the innocent dead, sorry, but the dead have no right to anything.
And even less have the right to vote.
So the villains formed an unspoken rule: do not kill, or attempt not to kill, the powerful Virgin Mary as Harvey Dent was.
Because as long as they have an important position with law enforcement in Gotham, they can go crazy and do whatever they want.
This is Gotham City.
Too kind to bad people, too harsh to good people!
What was intended to punish evil and promote good ended up being a shield for evil people.
How ridiculous!
...
As soon as Gordon and Rachel left, Jason, who was delivering takeout, walked by.
Seeing this, he immediately stopped and thought, what happened again?
Thinking about it, he approached the crowd and listened carefully.
When I understood the cause and effect, he surprised me: it turned out that Riddler's love meant this!
Why didn't I think of this before?
I also have to regret that Riddler is really cunning and insidious.
With the premise of leaving clues to keep the police alert at all times, the crime can still be completed successfully.
Great capacity and careful mind.
This time he left another puzzle again and the difficulty was still very low.
(What can sink a giant ship but can't see the light?)
Jason thought for a moment and thought of the answer: Isn't it an iceberg?
"Iceberg..."
He took out his phone, looked at the map, and immediately found a matching location in the diamond area.
Iceberg Club!
He knows very well that this is the territory of the supervillain Penguin.
Will the Riddler go to war with him?
Jason was delighted, it would be great if that were the case.
He might take the opportunity to catch him.
As I thought about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong: The Riddler was very clever and the puzzle was very simple.
Does this iceberg really mean the Iceberg Club?
Will it be the same as this time, attacking from the left and actually attacking from the right??
It is necessary to study it carefully.
...
In fact, he is not the only one who thinks the same, the police are also considering this issue.
Because Gordon and the others didn't believe that Riddler would go directly to the Penguin.
There are two reasons.
1: Not necessary.
2: The strength of the two sides is currently unequal and Riddler will suffer.
However, after this incident, many things have become uncertain.
It's possible that this is Riddler's plan.
So, after much deliberation, the police finally sent people to monitor the area near the Iceberg Club 24 hours a day.
Also investigate other possible scenarios.
at the same time.
Iceberg Club, basement.
A man dressed in black, with an exaggeratedly fat figure and a large, hooked nose, put down his cigarette and took a glass of red wine.
He took a sip and said, "Did you do what I told you?"
The subordinate next to him said respectfully: "Yes, boss, I did everything you ordered."
"As long as Riddler dares to come, he won't be able to get out of here alive!"
"Hehehe, very good."
The hook-nosed man smiled with satisfaction.
...
At midnight.
Jason transformed into ghostface and went to where Two-Face was imprisoned.
This time I didn't go down, I took a look at the top to make sure people were still there and then I dumped the food supplies.
There is no need to meet, there is nothing to say anyway.
After finishing his work, he returned to his apartment and continued studying the riddles left by the Riddler.
While looking at the map carefully, mark all the relevant places.
In reality, Iceberg can have several meanings.
Like water, ocean, etc.
There are even reefs that can sink ships after all and are usually invisible.
Although I can't cover everything, I did my best.
Preliminary preparations have been made, and it is time to go to the actual site.
In the next two days, whenever he had free time, he would monitor everywhere.
Including the Iceberg Club.
Although I really don't think Riddler will actually go to war with Penguin, it doesn't hurt to be a little cautious, just in case.
It is always good to err on the side of caution.
Unfortunately, the situation has not yet been discovered and we do not know when Riddler will take action.
He was not in a hurry, but, I was a little anxious.
Noon.
He had just taken a few sips of water after returning from delivering the takeout, when a strange news story appeared on television.
"A home invasion and robbery occurred in the Berkeley neighborhood, and two citizens were murdered."
There was a selfie of the killer at the scene. She was the ghostface."
Hey???"
Jason was shocked when he heard it, almost drowned in shock, and immediately raised his head to look at the TV.
What are you thinking?
When did he commit home invasion, robbery and murder??!
But the photo shown on the screen really looked like the ghostface.
But he could tell something was wrong at a glance: although the mask and the black robe looked similar, they were definitely fake.
The details vary greatly.
"So that's it, it's Fake!"
He suddenly realized that someone was obviously impersonating him to commit a crime.
Damn, that person really can't wait to die!!
If you want to use your name to kill villains, it's worth cheering up and congratulating yourself.
But it turned out to be a home invasion and robbery, killing innocent people, this is absolutely intolerable!
Hathaway said at the time: "God, this guy has started killing ordinary people, why is that?"
Jasin didn't say a word, but he had already sentenced the man in his heart to death.
So, after work at night, he ran to the Berkeley neighborhood for a walk.
Since the copycat killer committed the crime here, he must live nearby or be familiar with the neighborhood.
Until ten thirty there was no one on the street, so he called Ghost Face to help him in the search.
Unfortunately, after being busy most of the night, I didn't find anything.
This was also to be expected.
Without knowing who the other party is and when he committed the crime, it is impossible to catch him directly.
I can only take it easy and go step by step.
This way, you not only need to locate the Riddler, but also find the imposter.
At nine o'clock at night on the third day, in a bar in Berkeley.
He sat in a corner and drank his drink in silence. He had been wandering for a long time and took the opportunity to rest.
Ten minutes later, he got up to leave.
At this moment, a man in his twenties who had been drinking heavily suddenly began to argue with the waiter.
He drunkenly said, "Fuck! How dare you belittle me? Give me a drink, you hear me!"
The waiter said displeased: "Hey, if you don't have money, you won't have alcohol."
you understand?"
Anyone who can open a bar in this place, the background is naturally also not simple.
There is no fear of anyone threatening to cause trouble.
