Chapter 58 Who Stole the Nuclear Bomb?
"What nuclear bomb? I have never stolen a nuclear bomb!"
Chen Tao's heart tightened.
"Who else could it be besides you?"
The Riddler's eyes slowly lit up: "Damn, it seems something I don't know about has happened. A nuclear bomb? Batman, you are in big trouble."
A few hours later, in the Batcave.
Bruce Wayne has more than a dozen Batcave like this in Gotham City. Although it is much smaller than the one under Wayne Manor, it is well-equipped and can provide Batman with all the necessary support at any time.
At this time, the third generation Robin was holding a tablet and standing next to a pull-out mobile display screen.
"From the intelligence we know so far, the people who are capable of obtaining nuclear bombs may be the following."
Chen Tao sat in the seat where Batman usually sat with his back to the Batcomputer, motioning Tim to continue, and Alfred stood beside him.
Not far away, Ventriloquist, Deadshot, Cheshire Cat, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy were sitting in a row. Harley was a little excited and looked around the facilities in the Batcave. She even gestured with her baseball bat to smash the display cabinet next to her and take out the bat uniform.
Such impolite behavior was of course stopped by Poison Ivy. Harley Quinn's hard baseball bat softened the moment it touched the glass cabinet and shook in Harley's hand like gluten.
"Oh, come on!" she said.
"Our first suspect is Bane. He has the ability and motivation to do this."
Tim said. He flipped through the information on the tablet in his hand, then pressed the remote control. Bane's big head soon appeared on the pull-out screen and the huge Batcomputer display behind Chen Tao.
"The guards in the warehouse where Penguin stored the nuclear bombs were armed with live ammunition, and most of them were desperate criminals and retired soldiers recruited by Penguin.
Although selling nuclear bombs is indeed a crazy and suicidal act, according to Penguin, he has been keeping a close watch on the nuclear bombs in recent years, and the quality of the guards has always been very high.
-However, there was not even a large-scale gunfight at the scene, which means that the attacker may have been only one person, and he killed one by one with a knife, with perfect stealth, and all the witnesses were killed without any resistance. Bane is a cold-blooded killer, and he is burly. There is no doubt that he can do this.
But it is strange that Using knives is not Bane's specialty. Based on our understanding of him, with Bane's grip strength, he would probably prefer to twist the guard's neck directly with his hands. Of course, it is not ruled out that Bane deliberately used a knife to confuse the audience. "Tim continued: "But this doesn't make sense. Bane has just arrived in Gotham City. He can't know the city as well as those Arkham people who have lived in Gotham City for more than ten years. " "Oswald is not a fool. He knows very well what level of threat a nuclear bomb is. Even if he is one of the largest arms dealers in the United States, he can't afford the cost of this matter being exposed. So for the one he controls, He has kept the nuclear bomb a secret for so many years.
Except for selling one of the nuclear bombs a few years ago, he has never told anyone what is hidden in the warehouse. "Even the emperor penguin, who was the most trusted by him before, has never touched such a core trump card as the penguin." He took the information and said in a dull tone: "To be honest, Oswald really surprised me. Although according to his account, he got the nuclear bomb very early, even before the era when Gotham was fully equipped with bat cameras.
But he has always hidden this trump card very well, even when he sold it a few years ago, it was quietly sold. Sold quietly, I am shocked that we have been beating up a gangster with nuclear weapons for so many years. "
He said with some lingering fear: "Damn it, Gotham always gives us some scares from time to time, you never know what the guy in front of you is hiding.
When I first became Robin, I stepped on his sharp nose. For so many years, Penguin has been beaten, bullied, used as a stepping stone, and betrayed by his subordinates, but he has never used this trump card.
In a way, Oswald is simply the most emotionally stable person in Gotham City. "
"I think my emotions are also very stable." Harley Quinn muttered.
Poison Ivy, who was sitting next to her, hit her lightly, grabbed her palm with her other hand, and scratched her palm.
Harley smiled and interlocked her fingers with her.
Death Shooter quietly wiped the cold sweat, sitting there with a lofty and arrogant look on the surface.
Help! He was just a salary thief who came to cheat salaries at first!
Why did they suddenly start talking about nuclear weapons? !
The people in this city are too exaggerated.
Death Shooter silently swallowed his tears.
The Cheshire Cat looked left and right, everyone was so calm.
So she also tried to pretend that it was nothing.
"Continue." Chen Tao said.
"If Oswald could even hide the existence of nuclear bombs from us, then Bane would never have discovered something that we didn't discover in just a few months since he came to Gotham."
Robin continued:
"Even if he had the motivation and ability, he couldn't have mastered the location of the Penguin's warehouse. If someone could have discovered the Penguin's secret, then he must be an old man who has been in Gotham for a long time."
"This requires us to bring up our second suspect: Scarecrow."
Tim pressed it, and Scarecrow's face appeared on the screen again, displayed side by side with Bane.
"In most cases, Scarecrow will appear to be a timid coward, but he is definitely an expert in manipulating fear. Even without using fear gas, Scarecrow can still instill great fear in others and use fear to easily manipulate others' bodies and minds."
"Besides, I found some leftover fear gas at the scene, which is one of Scarecrow's most common weapons. With the help of fear gas, he can indeed do the same thing as Bane. Of course, I admit that Scarecrow's fear gas has long been rampant on the black market, and these low-concentration fear gases can be bought by anyone."
"But when we reviewed the attacker's attack afterwards, we found that he launched the attack with a backhanded knife, but this scar can also be explained in another way, that is, using a sickle."
"Therefore, even if the ability to murder directly is weaker than Bane, with the help of fear gas, Scarecrow, who is good at using sickles to kill people, can also do this."
"Another suspect is the Riddler, but he has been captured by us."
Tim turned off the tablet and said, "To sum up, I think the real suspect should be between Bane and Scarecrow. I personally prefer Scarecrow."
