"What nuclear bomb? I've never stolen a nuclear bomb!"
Chen Tao's heart tightened.
"Who else could it be besides you?"
Riddler's eyes slowly lit up. "Damn, something seems to have happened that I don't know about. A nuclear bomb? Batman, you are in big trouble."
A few hours later, inside the Batcave.
Bruce Wayne has more than a dozen bat caves like this in Gotham City. Although they are much smaller than the one under Wayne Manor, they are fully 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.
"Based on the intelligence we know so far, the people who have the ability to obtain a nuclear bomb may be the following."
Chen Tao sat in Batman's usual seat with his back to the Batcomputer, motioning Tim to continue speaking, with Alfred standing beside him.
Not far away, the Ventriloquist, Deadshot, Cheshire Cat, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy were sitting in a row. Harley was looking around the facilities in the Batcave with some excitement, and even gestured with the baseball bat in her hand as if she wanted to smash the display cabinet next to it and take out the bat uniform inside.
Such impolite behavior was of course stopped by Poison Ivy. Harley Quinn's originally 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, and Bane's head soon appeared on the sliding screen and the huge Batcomputer display behind Chen Tao at the same time.
“The guards in the warehouse where Penguin stored the nuclear bomb 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 the Penguin Man, he has always kept 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 gun battle 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 has a burly figure. There is no doubt that he can do this.
But it's strange that using knives is not Bane's specialty. Based on our understanding of him, with Bane's grip strength, he would probably be more inclined to break 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 that doesn't make sense. Bane has just arrived in Gotham City. He can't possibly know the city as well as those people from Arkham who have lived in Gotham City for more than a decade."
"Oswald was no fool, he knew exactly what kind of threat a nuclear bomb posed.
Even though he was one of the largest arms dealers in the United States, he could not afford the cost of this matter being exposed. So for so many years, he had kept his mouth shut about the fact that he had nuclear bombs.
Aside from selling one of the bombs a few years ago, he never told anyone what was in that warehouse.”
"Even the Emperor Penguin, who was previously his most trusted, had never come into contact with such a core trump card as the Penguin Man."
He held 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 Gotham was fully equipped with bat cameras.
But he kept it so well hidden that he even sold it quietly a few years ago, and I'm shocked that we've 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 pointed nose. Over the years, Penguin has been beaten, bullied, used as a stepping stone, and betrayed by his men, but he has never used this trump card.
In some ways, Oswald is the most emotionally stable man in Gotham."
“I think I’m pretty emotionally stable, too,” Harley Quinn muttered.
Poison Ivy, who was sitting next to her, hit her lightly, then grabbed her palm with her other hand and tickled it.
Harry smiled and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Death Shooter quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat there with an aloof and arrogant look on the surface.
Help! He was just a salary thief who came to cheat the salary at first!
Why are they suddenly mixing in content about nuclear weapons? !
The people in this city are too exaggerated.
Death Shooter swallowed his tears silently.
The Cheshire Cat looked left and right. Everyone was so calm.
So she tried hard to act as if it was nothing special.
"Go on." Chen Tao said.
"If Oswald could even hide the existence of the bomb from us, there's no way Bane could have discovered something we didn't in just a few months in Gotham."
Robin continued:
"Even if he has the motivation and ability, it is impossible for him to know the location of Penguin's warehouse. If there is anyone who can possibly discover Penguin's secret, then he must be an old man who has been in Gotham for a long time."
"This leads us to our second suspect: the scarecrow."
Tim pressed it, and the Scarecrow's face reappeared on the screen, side by side with Bane.
"Scarecrow may seem like a coward most of the time, 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. This 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. Anyone can buy this low-concentration fear gas."
"But when we reviewed the attacker's attack movements afterwards, we found that he attacked with a knife in his backhand, but the scars can also be explained in another way, that is, using a sickle."
"So even if Scarecrow is weaker than Bane in frontal murder, with the help of fear gas, he is good at killing people with a sickle and may be able to do it."
"The other suspect was the Riddler, but he has been captured by us."
Tim closed the tablet and said, "To sum up, I think the real suspect should be between Bane and Scarecrow. I personally prefer Scarecrow."
