Chapter 3270 Bloody New City (9)
Chapter 3270 Bloodshed in New City (XIX)
Batman was looking at the chemical composition analysis report, but there was really nothing to see in this report because his professional instruments did not detect anything. The capsule he had seized from Schiller seemed to have nothing in it, and there were no ingredients other than what red wine should have.
Of course Batman couldn't think that this was just an ordinary bottle of red wine. He thought it was more likely because his equipment was not advanced enough to detect more mysterious ingredients.
Batman was wondering why Schiller replaced the Pale Knight's medicine, and why the Pale Knight did not take enough medicine but did not turn back into the Joker.
Could it be that the bottle of red wine is some kind of special medicine to suppress the Joker?
In the laboratory of Charabon Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Co., Ltd., Ruth'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 study the drug formula, and the result you gave me is that this capsule contains ordinary red wine?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am. It could be a problem with the instrument, but we haven't found any ingredients in the capsule that might have an effect on mental illness, and the several mental illness drugs you told us were suspected of being added to the medicine were not detected."
"How could this happen?!" Ruth cursed, then called Old Gun, who called Catwoman, who was packing up and preparing to go to Hawaii.
"What? Are you questioning my professionalism? I told you that the thing was stolen from Wayne Manor. Evidence? Don't you think you're a little ridiculous? You're asking a thief for evidence?!"
Catwoman's face darkened as well. She said, "Old Gun, it is precisely because of your good reputation that I am willing to take this job. I don't need to tell you how difficult it is to enter Wayne Manor. Apart from me, you can't find anyone willing to do this job."
"Now you actually suspect that I didn't really go to work, but just found something to fool you, and you want me to produce evidence. You really disappoint me."
"I can't give you any evidence." Catwoman said, "Why don't you go ask Bruce Wayne if he saw me that night? You are a lunatic! Don't call me again!"
Catwoman hung up the phone and threw it on the bed angrily. She looked at her half-packed luggage, took a deep breath, and went to the bathroom to pack her toiletries.
About 15 minutes later, she packed all her things, picked up her plane ticket, and walked out the door with her suitcase.
But as soon as she went out, she was faced with a black gun muzzle. The man in black with a gun blocked all her escape routes.
Catwoman's eyes widened instantly as she looked at the figure that came out from the corner of the stairs. She cursed, "Old Gun! Are you crazy?! How dare you betray me!!"
"Who told you not to work hard?" Old Gun said from behind Ruth, "You didn't even go to Wayne Manor, did you?"
Catwoman was almost going crazy. She said, "The things you asked me to steal are in Wayne Manor. How could I not have been to Wayne Manor?!"
"Are you sure you stole the capsule from there?" Ruth said, "rather than just finding a random capsule, pouring some red wine into it, and using it to fool us?"
Catwoman was stunned. It turned out that they had discovered that there was something wrong with the capsule.
Catwoman is not stupid. When she saw the red wine and capsules placed on the island by Schiller, she knew that the other party had seen through her employer's intentions.
It wasn't that she wanted to cooperate with Schiller to trick Ruth, but after 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, and there was no point in her just bearing it and saying nothing.
Catwoman was originally hoping for luck, thinking that if they stole the medicine to take it, it would take at least a few days to discover that something was wrong. However, she didn't expect that the other party stole the capsules not to take them, but sent them directly for analysis, and the truth was revealed.
Catwoman couldn't help but curse in her heart, if you want to forge capsules, at least put some other medicine in them. It would be strange if you put red wine in them without being discovered!
Wait, is that guy trying to trick me on purpose?
Catwoman suddenly realized that if the other party wanted to turn the medicine into poison or something else, they would at least put some medicine in it. As long as there was medicine in it, it would not be so easy to detect that something was wrong.
But this guy didn't put any medicine in it, but red wine. The difference between red wine and medicine is too big, and it will be detected as soon as it is checked.
It was immediately discovered that there was only one person who was endangered, and that was Catwoman who wanted to use the opponent's reaction time to escape.
Damn it! It's a trap!
Catwoman took a deep breath. She couldn't say that she had cooperated with Schiller. Although it was satisfying to betray Schiller and learn a lesson, she might also be silenced.
Especially if they knew that I followed Lao Qian to a secret laboratory and met the researchers in the laboratory, I would definitely die.
But I can't just admit it like that, because my reputation will be ruined and no one will hire a liar anymore.
Catwoman calmed down and said, "I'll say it again, I stole the capsule from Wayne Manor. As for what's wrong with the capsule, you should look for the reasons between yourself and the other party instead of looking for a thief like me."
Ruth heard her firm tone and began to waver in her heart. After all, her opponents were Batman and the Pale Knight, and this medicine was particularly important to the Pale Knight. If the other party was on guard, it was not impossible for him to replace the medicine with another one.
"Where did you steal the capsules?" asked Ruth.
"It was in a bedroom on the second floor, in the drawer of the bedside table. It was not locked, so I got it easily."
"Is it the master bedroom?"
"I don't know, but it looks like a very luxurious bedroom." Catwoman shook her head and said.
"Did you encounter any obstacles along the way?"
"There was a trap at the back door and I fell for it. Fortunately, it was not lethal and I managed to get out."
"Are you hurt?"
"No, I was just hung up." Catwoman continued: "When I was hit, I thought I was done, but I didn't expect Wayne to be a coward and didn't set any decent traps at all."
Ruth gradually began to feel that what Catwoman said was true.
"You didn't get what I wanted." Ruth took a step forward, stared at Catwoman and said, "You made me waste my time and miss a precious opportunity."
"It's not my fault." Catwoman said unyieldingly, "I took whatever you asked me to take. If there's a problem with the item, you can only blame yourself for being stupid and being discovered by the other party."
"That's not a good attitude, ma'am." Ruth narrowed her eyes, and just as she waved her finger, Catwoman took out a smoke bomb from her waist and slammed it to the ground with a bang.
In an instant, smoke filled the entire corridor. Someone fired two shots in panic, but hit nothing. The experienced old gunner shouted in panic: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! You'll hit one of our own!"
When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of Catwoman, and even her suitcase had been taken away.
Ruth's face darkened and she said, "Make arrangements to catch this damn thief. Don't let her leave Gotham!"
After that, she picked up the phone again, called Gordon, and said, "A thief has stolen important research data from Charaban Chemical Research Company and is now planning to leave Gotham with the data. You must... What did you say? Insufficient police force? Why is there a shortage of police force when investigating my case?!"
"I don't care what you do, you have to...James Gordon!" Ruth raised her voice and said, "Are you telling me that if I don't invest in your GTO, you won't be able to handle any cases?! What's the point of having you as the police chief?!"
"What? A protest in a natural woodland?!"
Ruth, who had already walked out of the house, couldn't help but look at the news playing on the TV in the window of a furniture store.
"... a large-scale protest broke out near the Charabon Chemical Plant. The protesters claimed that the chemical plant had caused irreversible pollution to the most important natural forest in East Gotham over the past five years. They produced a soil test report, which showed..."
Ruth stared at the news channel intently. She saw many protesters holding signs surrounding the chemical plant, while the police were maintaining order and preventing the excited protesters from rushing into the plant.
Ruth gritted her teeth and cursed, but soon her cell phone rang, and there was an angry roar from the other end. Ruth had to hold back her impatience and said, "Sorry, sir, I didn't expect this to happen. I'll deal with it right away."
After hanging up the phone, she was about to call Gordon and ask him to order the police to expel the protesters, but then she thought, if she asked Gordon to use police force in this place, who would catch Catwoman?
Ruth suddenly felt overwhelmed.
The current situation is that there is only one police station in Gotham, and there are not many capable police officers in the police station. They can only take care of the head but not the back.
Gordon insisted that he had no available manpower. If Ruth forced him to catch Catwoman, causing him to withdraw the police who were maintaining order in the natural woods and allow the mob to rush into the chemical plant, then Ruth would lose her job as a manager.
But if Catwoman is not caught, Rose will have no way of knowing what happened in Wayne Manor that night, and will not be able to figure out whether the Pale Knight has been wary of her. She will not be able to use Catwoman to steal the real medicine to make the Pale Knight out of control and dissolve the alliance between Batman and the Pale Knight.
In short, her stubbornness has ended up blocking her in two directions, and whatever choice she makes now will be wrong.
Standing at the intersection, Ruth felt for the first time in a long time that something was beyond her control, making her feel like a fly lying on a spider web and being tightly wrapped.
As the web slowly trembled, the horrible spider was approaching her. She could not resist or even struggle. She could only watch her body gradually disintegrated by the venom and turned into a pool of residue.
