Chapter 1429: Relatively Ordinary
Salvador Maloney's influence is not small.
The late Mayor Mitchell called this case the largest unique crime in Gotham's history. It was successfully solved under his leadership and he regarded it as a great achievement and honor.
But this is all propaganda to the ignorant people, the truth is not the case!
District Attorney Gill revealed that it was precisely because of the rat's tip that they were able to force Maloney to withdraw from the independent market.
Note that he quit, that is to say, the independence peddling business under him is actually still there and has not been abolished!
In other words, the rat most likely used the government to crack down on dissidents, killed Maloney, the boss of Gotham's exclusive business, and then replaced him?
There must be collusion between government and businessmen. Gill said with a cold sweat on his face that once the Riddler learns the truth and exposes it, the entire city will suffer!
Bruce Wayne naturally realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately urged Selina to ask her for more information about rats.
However, at this time, a woman next to Jill accidentally mentioned a certain missing Russian girl, who was Selena's roommate Annika.
Selina ignored Bruce's request, changed her target, and asked the lady for news about Annika. There's no way, who would let someone be Catwoman?
As we all know, cats are not that well-behaved and obedient. Selena asked for news about Annika, but the other party naturally refused to say more, and the two started arguing.
It happened that at this time, the club's owner Penguin and the boss of Gotham's underworld, Falcone, came and happened to bump into this scene.
Fortunately, Selina was quick-witted and found an excuse to cross over. The Penguin didn't ask any questions, but Falcone clearly showed that he had a close relationship with Selina. He stepped forward to greet her and asked her, while reaching out to touch her her cheeks.
Batman who was monitoring outside couldn't help but get furious when he saw this scene. He was helpless and angry because Selina disobeyed orders before. Now he was even more angry and questioned her and Falcone on the communicator. What is the relationship?
Seeing this, Star-Lord outside the screen smiled from ear to ear: "Wow, wow, Batman is jealous? This is a rare and famous scene! It seems that you really fell in love with her."
Bruce Wayne lowered his head now. The young Batman was so thin-skinned after all.
At this moment, the video paused in the light curtain, and a new question appeared: "Question, who is the 'rat' mentioned by the Riddler?"
"A: Batman Bruce Wayne, B: Penguin Oswald Cobblepot, C: Catwoman Selina Kyle, D: Roman Carmine Falcone."
The new question diverted the attention of the players. Bruce Wayne quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Among the four options, the one that meets the conditions is either B or D in my opinion!"
Gwen Stacy looked at him and echoed: "I think so too. Judging from the information exposed in the future video, it is unlikely that you and Selena are mice in the future and can be ruled out."
She used the elimination method, but when the Flash heard this, he also reminded: "You should be more careful, what if there is another routine or trap?"
Billy Batson was surprised when he heard this: "You want to say that Batman or Catwoman is the informant? It's unlikely, right?"
"Batman is definitely not, otherwise why would the Riddler have to make it so complicated?"
Peter Quill looked at Bruce Wayne: "But this Selina... it's not impossible. Maybe she hides it very deeply?"
Bruce Wayne frowned and said, "I will still choose between B and D."
At this time, the countdown just happened to start. The players looked at each other and were not in a hurry to press the button because they were not sure about answering the questions.
The players had a tacit understanding and waited until the last second. In the end, the right to answer this question fell to Gwen Stacy. She chose B after a brief consideration.
In previous Future videos, the Penguin appeared more frequently and left a lasting impression.
At the same time, considering Penguin's identity, he belongs to the middle and high-level, that is, he is not a worthless minion, nor is he a top boss with great power, so he meets the conditions of "informant" and "undercover".
Because he must have mastered a lot of important intelligence information about criminal groups, and he also has the ambition to climb up the ranks and use the police to attack the enemy!
Black Adam, Star-Lord and Shazam also chose B, obviously they all wanted to go together. However, Batman and The Flash all chose D, and they had different calculations.
The correct answer was announced: "Player Gwen Stacey answered incorrectly, and 4 points were deducted. Players Tess Adam, player Peter Quill, and player Billy Batson all answered incorrectly, and 1 point was deducted each;
Congratulations to player Bruce Wayne and player Barry Allen for answering correctly and earning 1 point each! "
Peter Quill looked at Batman with suspicion: "Say, man, you didn't do it on purpose, right? You already knew the answer in your heart, but you still misled us to choose the wrong option?"
Bruce Wayne replied dully: "I've made it very clear from the beginning, either choose B or D. What you should blame is that you didn't think carefully enough and you were unlucky."
Gwen Stacy also said: "Ahem, this can't be blamed on Bruce. I also think we are not very lucky."
Billy Batson scratched his head and said, "Don't you think this future video is too plain? There is no magic, no superpowers, no aliens... It's just an ordinary detective drama? Or a crime film?"
Young children are of course keen on big scenes, especially after the previous future video has exposed many big scenes, and then watching Batman's future, the contrast is very obvious.
To sum up, Batman's future is too plain!
"It's okay to be a little more ordinary, right? Does it have to be a disaster that destroys the world or the universe?"
Barry shook his head: "Dude, you can't treat these as movies or TV series. Although we are sitting on the sofa or watching a movie in the theater now...but we all know that what we see is real reality!"
Billy Batson scratched his head and apologized: "Sorry, I think I went a little too far."
The Flash shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Batman, and said: "But speaking of it, in my impression, in addition to the Bruce I know, the style of the future video of Bruce in another parallel universe is also very similar to urban crime and mystery dramas."
