Chapter 3259: Blood-Spattered New City (19)

Batman was looking at the chemical composition analysis report, but there was really nothing to see in this report, because his professional instruments detected nothing. In the capsule he detained from Schiller, it seemed that nothing was loaded. There were no other ingredients except those that should be in red wine.

Batman certainly couldn't think that this was just a bottle of ordinary red wine. He thought it was more likely because his equipment was not advanced enough to detect more mysterious ingredients.

Batman was thinking about why Schiller wanted to replace the Pale Knight's medicine, and why the Pale Knight didn't take enough medicine but didn't turn back into the Joker.

Could that bottle of red wine be a special medicine to suppress the Joker?

In the lab of Charabanc Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Co., Ltd., Lu Si's face was very ugly. She looked at the researchers in front of her and said: "You mean, I spent a lot of money to hire you to research the drug formula, and the result you gave me is that this capsule contains ordinary red wine?"

"Sorry, ma'am, it could also be an instrument problem, but we really didn't research any ingredients in the capsule that could have an effect on mental illness, and the several psychiatric drugs you told us were suspected to be added to the medicine were not detected either."

"How could this be?!" Lu Si cursed, then called Old Gun. Old Gun called Catwoman, and Catwoman was packing her things, preparing to go to Hawaii.

"What? Are you questioning my professional level? I told you, that thing was stolen from Wei En Manor. Evidence? Don't you think you're a bit ridiculous? You ask a thief for evidence?!"

Catwoman's face also darkened. She said: "Old Gun, it's because you have a good reputation that I was willing to take this job. I don't need to say how difficult it is to get into Wei En Manor. Besides me, it's impossible for you to find anyone willing to do this work."

"Now you actually suspect that I didn't really do the work, but just found something to fool you, and you want me to produce evidence. You are simply too disappointing."

"I can't give you any evidence." Catwoman said: "Why don't you ask Bruce Wei En if he saw me that night? You are simply a madman! Don't call me again!"

Catwoman hung up the phone, threw her phone onto the bed angrily, looked at the luggage she had packed halfway, took a deep breath, and then went to the bathroom to pack her toiletries.

About 15 minutes later, she packed all her things, took her ticket, carried her suitcase, and went out.

But as soon as she went out, she was met with dark muzzles. The men in black holding guns blocked all her escape routes.

Catwoman's eyes widened instantly as she looked at the figure walking out from the corner of the stairs. She cursed: "Old Gun! Are you crazy?! You fucking dare to betray me!!"

"Who told you not to do the work properly?" Old Gun stood behind Lu Si and said: "You didn't go to Wei En Manor at all, right?"

Catwoman was almost on the verge of a breakdown. She said: "The thing you wanted me to steal is in Wei En Manor, how could I not go to Wei En Manor?!"

"Are you sure you stole the capsules from there?" Lu Si said: "Instead of just finding some capsule, pouring in some red wine, and bringing it to fool us?"

Catwoman was stunned. It turned out they had already discovered that the capsule was wrong.

Catwoman was not stupid. When she saw the red wine and capsules placed on the island by Schiller, she knew that the other party had already seen through her employer's intentions.

It wasn't that she wanted to cooperate with Schiller to pit Lu Si, but from the moment she was hit by the ice sculpture and caught, she had no choice. The other party even knew that someone would come to steal things. It was meaningless to hold on and say nothing.

Catwoman was originally holding a fluke mentality. If they used this medicine to eat, it would take at least a few days to find something wrong. But she didn't expect that the other party didn't steal the capsules to eat, but sent them directly for analysis. Sure enough, it was exposed.

Catwoman couldn't help but curse in her heart: if you want to forge capsules, at least put some other medicine in it! It's no wonder it was discovered if you put red wine in it!

Wait, that guy wouldn't be deliberately trying to pit me, would he?

Catwoman suddenly reacted. If the other party wanted to turn the medicine for treating illness into poison, or into some other medicine, at least they would put some medicine in it. As long as there was medicine in it, it wouldn't be so easy to detect that something was wrong.

But this guy just didn't put medicine in it, but put red wine in it. The difference between red wine and medicine is too big. It will be checked out as soon as it is checked.

And the person who was harmed by immediately checking out that something was wrong was actually only one person, and that was Catwoman who wanted to use the other party's reaction time to escape.

Damn it! This is a trap!

Catwoman took a deep breath. She couldn't say that she cooperated with Schiller. Although it would be satisfying to betray Schiller and let him get a lesson, she might also be silenced.

Especially if they knew that she followed Old Gun to a secret lab and had seen the researchers in the lab, she definitely wouldn't survive.

However, it wouldn't work to just admit it like this. Her reputation would be ruined, and no one would hire a liar to do work in the future.

Catwoman calmed down and said: "I'll say it again, I stole the capsules from Wei En Manor. As for what's wrong with the capsules, you should look for the reasons for yourself and the other party, instead of coming to me, a thief."

Lu Si heard her tone was very firm, and her heart also wavered. After all, her opponents were Batman and the Pale Knight, and this medicine was especially important to the Pale Knight. If the other party was prepared, it was not impossible to come up with a swap.

"Where did you steal the capsules from?" Lu Si asked.

"In a bedroom on the second floor, placed in the drawer of the bedside table. It wasn't locked, and I got it very easily."

"Is it the master bedroom?"

"I don't know, anyway it looked like a very luxurious bedroom." Catwoman shook her head.

"Did you encounter any obstacles along the way?"

"There was a trap at the back door, I fell for it. Fortunately, that thing wasn't fatal, and I broke free."

"Are you injured?"

"No, I was just hung up." Catwoman continued: "When I fell for it, I thought I was done for. I didn't expect Wei En to be a coward and didn't set up any decent traps at all."

Lu Si began to gradually feel that what Catwoman said was true.

"You didn't get what I wanted." Lu Si stepped forward, stared at Catwoman and said: "You made me waste time and miss a precious opportunity."

"This is not my fault." Catwoman said unyieldingly: "You told me to take what, I took what. If there's a problem with the thing, you can only blame yourself for being stupid and being discovered by the other party."

"This attitude is not good enough, ma'am." Lu Si narrowed her eyes. Just as her fingers flicked, Catwoman took a smoke bomb from her waist and slammed it on the ground with a *bang*.

Instantly, smoke filled the entire corridor. Someone fired two shots in panic, but hit nothing. Old Gun, who was quite experienced, shouted in panic: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! You'll hit your own people!!"

By the time the smoke cleared, there was no shadow of Catwoman, and even her suitcase had been taken away.

Lu Si's face sank and she said: "Arrange it, catch this damn thief, don't let her leave Cat Getan!"

After speaking, she picked up her phone again, called Gordon, and said: "A thief stole important research materials from Charabanc Chemical Research Company and is now planning to leave Cat Getan with this material. You must... What did you say? Insufficient police force? Why is the police force insufficient when investigating my case?!"

"I don't care how you do it, anyway you must... James Gordon!" Lu Si raised her tone and said: "Are you telling me that if you don't invest in your GTO, you can't handle any case?! Then what is the use of you as the police commissioner?!"

"What? The protest in the Natural Woodlands?!"

Lu Si, who had walked out of the house, couldn't help but look at the news playing on the TV in the window of a furniture store.

"... Large-scale protests broke out near the Charabanc Chemical Plant. Protesters claimed that the chemical plant had caused irreversible pollution to the most important Natural Woodlands in eastern Cat Getan over the past five years. They produced a soil test report, and the report showed..."

Lu Si stared at the news channel intently. She saw many protesters holding signs surrounding the chemical plant, while the police were maintaining order, not letting the group of excited protesters rush into the chemical plant.

Lu Si cursed through gritted teeth, but soon her phone rang. An angry roar came from the other side. Lu Si had to endure the impatience in her heart and said: "Sorry, sir, I didn't expect such a thing to happen either. I will deal with it immediately."

After hanging up, she wanted to call Gordon to let him order the police to expel the protesters, but she thought again, if she let Gordon use the police force in this place, then who would catch Catwoman?

Lu Si instantly felt her head was about to explode.

The current situation is that Cat Getan only has one police station, and there are not many usable police officers in the police station. If you take care of the head, you can't take care of the tail.

Gordon insisted that he had no manpower available. If Lu Si forced him to catch Catwoman, causing him to withdraw the police maintaining order in the Natural Woodlands, and letting the group of rioters rush into the chemical plant, then Lu Si wouldn't have to be the manager.

But if she didn't catch Catwoman, Lu Si wouldn't be able to know what happened at Wei En Manor that night, wouldn't be able to figure out if the Pale Knight had been on guard against her early on, and wouldn't be able to use Catwoman to steal the real medicine to make the Pale Knight lose control and resolve the alliance between Batman and the Pale Knight.

In short, it was a straight line that became blocked at both ends. Whatever choice she made now was wrong.

Standing at the intersection, Lu Si felt for the first time in a long time that something was beyond her control, making her feel like a fly wrapped tightly in a spider web.

And with the slow tremor of the big web, the terrifying spider was approaching her. She couldn't resist, couldn't even struggle, and could only watch helplessly as her body was gradually disintegrated by venom, flowing into a puddle of residue. ===== CHAPTER 3260 =====
