Chapter 750

When Bruce gradually regained consciousness, it was already dark. He felt like he had a dream. When he woke up, he had completely forgotten what he had dreamed about.

Bruce felt hungry, but there was no ready-made food for him to satisfy his hunger. He stood up, then swayed twice, and fell to the ground.

Sitting in an incorrect posture for a long time made his pelvis bear too much force, leading to poor blood circulation in his back and legs. Simply put, his legs were numb.

When Bruce fell, his elbow just hit the edge of the steps. He screamed in pain and looked at his arm with a grin.

"Damn it, really unlucky, right?"

He said, but suddenly, he paused. He realized that there was no outsider here now. He didn't need to act for anyone to see, so he pursed his lips and stood up again.

And this time, what attacked him was dizziness. Not eating for a long time made him have some symptoms of hypoglycemia, but fortunately, his body was very strong, so he just felt dizzy for a while and then returned to normal.

Bruce walked out slowly, found the car he drove over, and sat in the driver's seat. He took a long breath, but just as he was about to start the car, he found that it couldn't start at all.

After trying several times, Bruce had to get out of the car to check the car engine. After opening the hood, he was stunned.

Because the entire engine was gone.

Bruce closed the hood hard, looked around, and didn't find the thief's trace. This is too common in Cat Getan. It can only be said that the other party left him a shell, which is already quite "moral".

This car is not the Batmobile, has not undergone those complex modifications, and has no spare engine, so it is completely unable to start now.

Bruce looked around, found a public phone booth on a nearby street, walked in, and called Schiller: "Professor, please go to Wei En Manor and take Aisha to your manor."

"Yes, Alfred is sick and cannot take care of her for the time being. During this time, I may have to trouble you. Thank you, Professor."

After hanging up the phone, Bruce lowered his head and sighed. When he turned and walked out of the phone booth, it was raining outside.

This is the edge of Cat Getan's West District, which also belongs to the rich district. Every household has a private car, most of which are equipped with their own drivers, and almost no one will take a taxi to travel, so there is generally no taxi here.

Bruce now has two choices: go back to the public phone booth to call a car, or walk back to the manor directly.

It is not far from Wei En Manor here, so Bruce decided to walk back by himself. Anyway, even if he returned to the manor, it would be empty, so why rush back?

Or rather, he actually held a resistant psychology, hoping that the return journey could be longer, so that he wouldn't have to face the empty lobby of the manor.

Walking out of the alley, standing on the street, Bruce looked around, identified the direction, and then walked toward one end of the street.

Cat Getan's night rain is very cold, but Bruce doesn't care at all. He walked back slowly along the street. Soon, a familiar building appeared in his field of vision.

That is Cat Getan's Grand Theater, the landmark building of the West District. The last time Bruce came here, it was as Batman, watching a big play of the Court of Owls being executed.

Now there are no owls, but there is no Batman either.

The position Bruce stood was behind Cat Getan's Grand Theater, not in front of the gate, so there were not many cars or pedestrians. But looking from this angle, Cat Getan's Grand Theater was brightly lit, and the light coming from the windows illuminated half the street.

This is actually very rare, because this Grand Theater is too old, and no decent theater troupe has been willing to come to perform for several years.

Looking up at the light coming from the windows, Bruce thought of the news Alfred mentioned before that the Angelica Theater Troupe was coming here to perform. He had heard the name of this troupe. This is a very famous troupe on the East Coast.

Bruce remembered that when he was in Metropolis, he had seen specific actor information at the entrance of a theater. The current lead actor of this troupe is called Alex Smith, a very handsome young actor.

He often plays the lead role in Shakespearean dramas, especially the handsome youth period of the lead role. Girls on the East Coast like to call him "Metropolis Dream".

Corresponding to him is the heroine of this troupe, known as the East Coast Pearl, Vicky Sandra.

There are rumors outside that they are a couple, but they themselves deny this. Because they often play couples on stage, many gossip newspapers seized this point to make a big fuss, often following behind them, taking all kinds of photos, hoping to dig out their deeper relationship.

When these materials played in Bruce's mind, he found that this had become his instinct, recording every piece of information he heard and saw, and then when seeing things related to it, he immediately reviewed it from beginning to end to ensure that he would not miss any important intelligence.

But what's the use of this? Bruce thought, Batman has become a thing of the past. Now, as long as he puts on the bat suit, he will become a street rat that everyone shouts at.

Even if he wants to help others now, the victims will scream when they see him, like seeing a ghost, running away desperately, not cooperating at all.

Bruce lowered his head and planned to walk forward, but just at this time, he heard a sound of a vase breaking from a room inside the theater, close to his direction.

Bruce turned his head instinctively, looking at the room where the sound came from. The room was filled with warm light, but similarly, the figure blocking the light became incomparably clear.

A silhouette of a woman wearing a dress swayed to the window, slapped the window twice, and then fell down slowly.

Bruce widened his eyes. He rushed toward that window without thinking. Standing under the wall and looking closely, he found that the place where the woman had just slapped left bloodstains, indicating that her situation was very bad now.

This room is on the third floor on the east side of the theater. Bruce immediately started looking for a passage that could lead to the third floor. However, the theater only has one entrance, and there is no back door. If he wants to rush to the room immediately, climbing the wall is the only way.

Bruce found a drainpipe at the corner of the wall, climbed up along the drainpipe in two or three steps, and then jumped from the balcony of the easternmost window to the balcony of that room.

He pulled the closed window hard, making a huge sound. When looking inside the window, he found that a figure seemed to be scared away by this sound.

But because his eyes couldn't immediately adapt to the sufficient light in the room, Bruce didn't see what that figure looked like, and couldn't even distinguish whether it was a man or a woman. He could only see his panicked figure and hear a series of fine, almost imperceptible footsteps.

With a "bang", the window was pulled open by him. Flipping over the windowsill and rushing into the room, Bruce saw a woman wearing a dress lying in the center of the room.

Fresh blood spread along her chest, dyeing most of the dress red. Bruce didn't have time to think too much. He rushed to the woman's side and reached out to press her carotid artery.

But unfortunately, this woman was already dead.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open. A group of people rushed in. The person in the lead shouted: "What's wrong? Why is there such a big movement?!"

Suddenly, a scream came. Bruce looked up. In the bright halo, he saw a familiar face. It was Miss Cat Getan. She screamed and shouted: "No! Miss Vicky! What's wrong with you?!"

【Recognize the book friends who have recommended the book-chasing app to me for ten years, Wild Fruit Reading! It's really easy to use, driving, before going to bed, all rely on this to listen to books to pass the time, download here. yeguoyuedu】

She rushed up with panicked steps, but retreated a few steps because of the strong smell of blood.

In the crowd, a gentleman walked out, helped Miss Cat Getan up, looked at Bruce, and said righteously: "Who are you? Why are you here? What did you do to Miss Vicky?"

"Oh, my God! Mr. Wei En!" Another scream sounded. Mrs. Cat Getan walked out of the crowd. She grabbed Mr. Witt in front and said: "Mr. Witt, you might not know him, he is Bruce Wei En!"

"Mr. Wei En, what are you doing there? Come over quickly, that corpse might be a bit... I mean... these blood might not be clean, you'd better come over quickly!" Mrs. Cat Getan said to Bruce with concern, beckoning.

Bruce stood up, looked at the group of people. There were nine people in a row. Mr. Witt stood in the middle, the mother and daughter of Cat Getan stood on the right, another fat man stood with them,

On the left was another young man who looked a bit like Witt. Beside him stood the boss of the Angelica Theater Troupe.

A bit further back, another tall man was squeezing forward. He passed through the crowd, threw himself to Vicky's side, and shouted: "No! Vicky! What's wrong with you? Call a doctor! Quick!"

"Alex, calm down!" Another older actor rushed up and supported Alex.

Bruce saw that the man called Alex was indeed very handsome. He had long hair and was still wearing the armor costume used for the performance. When he knelt on the ground, his whole body jingled.

There were two other people, one of whom was holding a makeup brush, looking like the troupe's makeup artist, and the other was holding a notebook, possibly a prop master.

Dozens of people filled the whole room. After a while, the police arrived.

When Gordon saw Bruce, he covered his forehead. He lifted the hem of his trench coat to the back with one hand, touched the side of his cheek with the other, and asked Bruce: "Why are you here?"

Bruce stood in place, looking down at the corpse, without speaking.

But at this time, Mrs. Cat Getan walked up and said to Gordon: "Mr. Wei En might have come here for the name. After all, every mailbox in our manor district received the repertoire list of the Angelica Theater Troupe..."

"In the circle of drama performances on the East Coast, the audience can visit the backstage before the drama starts. I think Mr. Wei En might have come for this, just like us."

Mrs. Cat Getan explained a long string for Bruce, but at this time, Mr. Witt raised an objection and said: "When we rushed into the room, he was already here. He was the first person to contact the corpse, and he has a great suspicion..."

Mrs. Cat Getan desperately winked at Witt. Witt pretended not to see it. Miss Cat Getan cried on the side, Alex wailed on the ground, and others were in disbelief.

Gordon had a headache from this situation, so he had to drive everyone out of the room, divide them into groups, let them wait in other rooms, and wait for interrogation.

He called Bruce out first and asked him: "What the hell is going on with you? Didn't I say it? You have to be quiet these few days, otherwise you might really be wanted... Wait, why aren't you wearing your uniform?"

Gordon realized that the person who came here was not Batman, but Bruce Wei En. However, how could Bruce Wei En be involved in a murder case?

In the current situation, it was completely beyond his expectation. Gordon knew a truth very well, that is, Batman and Schiller, these two people, as long as any one of them appears at the scene of a murder case, it proves that this case might have big trouble.

Gordon pressed his temples with a headache. He looked at Bruce and said: "Okay, then what did you see? Who killed the heroine of the theater troupe?"

Bruce shook his head and said: "I don't know."
