footage and images of Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Batman and the butler were studying the Joker together.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Batman was very concerned about the Joker this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was even the number one target!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Batman watched the surveillance while saying in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I know the gangs won't surrender, but they crossed the line this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You crossed the line first, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The butler reminded him from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You pushed them to the edge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So in their desperation, they found someone they didn't even understand to help them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing the butler’s statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wayne didn't care, turned off the screen, and walked toward the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Criminals aren't complicated, you just need to know what they want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Batman was very confident about dealing with the Joker at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And this confidence stemmed from the experience he had accumulated over 14 years of fighting criminals and villains!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, Wayne walked toward his Bat-armor in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But... unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The butler did not agree with this statement and refuted it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"With all due respect, Master Wayne, I’m afraid you don't understand this man either...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"A long time ago, when I was in Burma, my friends and I were working for the local authorities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They tried to bribe the tribal leader with precious gemstones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As a result, the official convoy was attacked by a bandit in the northern jungle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So we had to go and get those precious gemstones back, but after half a year of investigation, that bandit hadn't traded with anyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of an orange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It turned out that the bandit had thrown away all the gemstones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even Batman, who had fought countless criminals, frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't figure out why the bandit in the story would do that, so he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then why did he steal the gemstones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Because he thought it was fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Alfred the butler replied in a deep voice, giving an answer that no one expected!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And at this moment, along with the butler’s description, the camera turned to the screen in the distance, where the Joker’s videotape was playing!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Some people don't want things like money that fit normal human logic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You can't bribe or threaten him, let alone reason with him or try to negotiate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Some people just want to see the world fall into chaos!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After finishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The butler walked to the side, leaving Batman Wayne to think quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And looking at the crazed Joker on the screen from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wayne was thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Su Chen said in the videotape!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He did what he said he would!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as Batman didn't turn himself in for one day, didn't reveal his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>People in Gotham City would die because of it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And today’s death report came quickly!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After receiving the Joker’s message, the police quickly rushed to an apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And in the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were only two corpses slumped over the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their faces were all painted with the Joker’s makeup, and they were holding a deck of playing cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The entire scene had been set up to look like two Jokers drinking and playing cards!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the first and last names of the two deceased were put together.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was exactly the name of the new District Attorney, Harvey Dent!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Inside the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Batman appeared silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The commissioner and the officers were already used to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this case.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The female detective clearly had some objections to Batman.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She even directly blamed Batman.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was because Batman didn't turn himself in that the two were killed by the Joker!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing the female detective’s accusation, although Batman felt the pressure and inner blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He still investigated the scene in silence, trying to find the traces left by Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The commissioner found a newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seemed to indicate Su Chen’s next assassination target!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the newspaper was the Mayor’s photo!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the content of the newspaper was that the Mayor would hold an obituary parade tomorrow for the people who had died, including the judge and the commissioner!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Presumably, tomorrow would be the time for the Joker to make a move on the Mayor!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In Batman’s secret base!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wayne and the butler used high technology that surpassed the police and even the world to analyze a brick brought back from the apartment! On it were the bullet marks caused by the Joker’s shooting!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Through high technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wayne quickly organized the bullet fragments fired by the Joker!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And successfully pieced together a thumbprint sample from these fragments!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And through these samples.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He directly locked onto four highly similar fingerprint databases!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this point!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wayne was almost about to completely drag the Joker out!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And seeing this!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>All the viewers were shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No one expected Batman’s high technology to be this advanced!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finding the fingerprints left on the bullets by the Joker when he was loading them through the bullet holes in the wall!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This... almost symbolized that the Joker’s identity was completely exposed in Batman’s eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was no room for maneuver!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, the Joker was in the light, and Batman was in the dark!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Holy crap...... is this even possible?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[This technology is too terrifying!
