Chapter 2485

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Officer Guine was obviously very vigilant and puzzled, because the appearance of these two people in front of her looked too strange.

Batman and Batwoman looked at each other again. Batwoman let go, but the female officer didn't try to attack them again, because she had already discovered that their strength was surprisingly great and they were not ordinary intruders. Without a gun, she couldn't act rashly.

"We are here to investigate Batman."

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

Without a doubt, the female officer's performance was as if to say that there was no Batman in this world at all. Could it be that they had mistaken the world? Did she just mention Spider-Man?

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

But this was also not right, because the news clearly wrote that Wei En Group had existed.

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

"What exactly are you here for?" The female officer asked.

"What are you here for?" Batwoman asked back, while crossing her arms and looking at the female officer, saying, "I don't think a public official would need to appear in the file room at this time."

The female officer was obviously hit in the heart and appeared a bit embarrassed, because this was obvious. Since she was a police officer, she could completely come to the file room during working hours in the day; why did she have to sneak around after work at night?

This showed that she must be doing something unspeakable, but this couldn't erase the fact that the other party was 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 one thing, regarding Bruce Wei En."

The female officer appeared a bit surprised, which allowed Batwoman to observe that her appearance here was very likely also for Bruce Wei En.

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

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, the female officer was completely stunned.

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

Facing a series of questions, the other party was obviously a bit flustered. Batman could see that this female officer was far less experienced than Gordon and was probably Gordon's apprentice, so it was very likely she had seen Bruce Wei En.

"We come from another universe." Batman didn't poke the fact that this was a dream, just said as simply as possible, "This universe is now in some trouble, and we are here to solve it. If you can provide us with some help, that would be even better."

The female officer swallowed, "Uh-huh," the vigilance in her eyes hadn't completely disappeared, but it had obviously wavered.

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything about Bruce Wei En, and the current situation of this city."

The female officer took a deep breath but didn't start telling. Instead, after staring at them for a while, she turned around and continued to flip through the shelves in the file room, saying, "I have never seen you, and you have never seen me. If you want to know anything, find it yourself."

This was exactly what Batman wanted. Listening to ordinary people tell stories would inevitably be inefficient and inaccurate. Having file documents was even better.

Searching for files was familiar to Batman. He and Batwoman worked in division of labor and soon figured out what was going on in this universe.

"It seems Gordon's situation is very bad." Batman didn't deliberately lower his voice. He glanced at the female officer next to him and said, "Only being able to sit and watch evil happen, but completely powerless to stop it, and unable to reverse the tragedy—this is a devastating disaster for a good police officer."

Batwoman saw Guine's eyes turn red. She was probably clearer than anyone else about how bad Gordon's current situation was.

Guine slowly squatted down, looking like she couldn't hold on anymore due to days of work and emotional shock. Batwoman walked over and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "If it weren't for an accident, you wouldn't appear here. Can you tell us what you are looking for here?"

The female officer closed her eyes and squatted in place for a long while before saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "... that case back then."

"Which one?" Batman asked.

"The James Gordon attack case." Guine seemed to have suddenly figured out something and said at a fast speed, "Gordon, who was the police chief at the time, encountered a shooting in an alley on his way home. At that time, he was helping the young Bruce Wei En take over the Wei En family's inheritance, so the outside world speculated that it was those shareholders who wanted to compete for shares and annex Wei En Group who sent the killer."

"Gordon was hit by two shots, one of which injured his spine, making him almost completely paralyzed and bedridden. More than ten years have passed, and almost everyone has forgotten this excellent police chief. When mentioning old events, there are only some sighs left."

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

First of all, the Wei En couple was not ignorant of their own death. The situation back then had reached a very dangerous point. They had long had a backup plan and were prepared.

So after they died, those greedy shareholders couldn't make any big waves, and all the inheritance and shares were smoothly handed over to little Bruce, and no one could covet them.

Secondly, little Bruce himself didn't care about those clowns. His own ability far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he didn't 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 going through various legal procedures was a bit difficult. Police, doctors, lawyers—it was not unreasonable for Batman to have a good impression of people in these professions. When he fell into the most isolated and helpless moment of his life, it was these people who helped him.

Assuming that the Bruce Wei En of this universe was not a super genius, then he indeed might need external help to hold onto his inheritance; otherwise, it would be like a child carrying gold through a busy market, and some loss was certain.

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

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

"Of course, I understand. Those hyenas who bit off a piece of meat from this respectable police chief won't allow him to send them to prison. Then at least let me see Bruce. I think I can help him better utilize the resources in his hands to find the real culprit who hurt Gordon back then."

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

"The inheritance of the Wei En couple." Batman said, "Even if he failed to keep the shares of Wei En Group and lost almost all physical industries, the Wei En couple had a lot of savings back then. Private accounts had at least millions of dollars, plus various trusts, real estate, and vehicles. Even if he didn't do value preservation and investment work, this is not a small amount of money."

Guine frowned deeply. She shook her head and looked at Batman, saying, "No, now Bruce is renting a house with Gordon and has to barely work three jobs to support the two of them."

"Absurd." Batwoman commented, "What about Thomas and Martha's private property? To take a step back, what about my mother's dowry? When she married out of the Kane family, my grandfather and grandmother gave her two buildings and a commercial street storefront."

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

"I... I don't know." Guine shook her head. This female officer was from a civilian background and was obviously not familiar with these things.

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

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

Guine had no choice but to hand over the files she had just found to them. The two read them quickly and looked up at each other at the same time, obviously seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"There are too many suspicious points." Batman stared at the files and said, "Not to mention the external environment, from Gordon's description, he saw the killer's blurry figure, and then was hit by the first shot and fell to the ground."

"If the killer wanted to fire the second shot, he had to adjust the trajectory, because the posture of a standing person and a lying person is different. Gordon had the ability to grasp this short two-second time to draw his gun and shoot, but he just fell to the ground like that, did nothing, and let the other party fire the second shot."

"Could it be..." Guine wanted to say could it be that Gordon couldn't draw his gun or didn't react because of the pain of being shot, but she couldn't convince herself. Gordon was a well-trained good police officer with very strong willpower and would never let go of any opportunity to catch a criminal.

If there was even a glimmer of opportunity to hit the killer while falling to the ground so that he couldn't run away, Gordon would definitely do so, and he had the ability to do so.

"The location of the gunshot wound can also be seen." Batman pointed to the image on the file and said, "The left abdomen does not affect his use of his right hand, and Gordon does not have the habit of putting his gun behind his back. At the moment of falling to the ground, drawing the gun and shooting was completely in time."

"Unless he didn't want to do that." 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 killer?"

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

"No." Guine raised her voice and interrupted them. Both of their gazes fell on her. Guine emphasized, "Gordon didn't let me tell anyone about investigating the case, it's anyone, including Bruce Wei En."

"Is that what he told you?"

"Of course."

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