It was light blue, very short, and very small. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all, but he knew where it came from, and he was very familiar with it.
In order to protect the crime scene, the police will need to use shoe covers. The police station's shoe covers are purchased and configured uniformly, and using the same material will leave the same traces.
The house Bruce rented was very small. There were only a few steps from the front door to the bedroom, and he would definitely pass by a wall. And now he was squatting by this wall, staring at the shoe covers in his hand that were obviously left by the police station.
of fluff.
He stood up and opened the bedroom door. Gordon turned his eyes to look at him, as if he knew what he was going to say.
"Who's been here?" Bruce asked.
"Ge Yin." Gordon said: "I am too worried about the Claw Killer, but she obviously made too many mistakes during the investigation and capture. I have some suggestions to tell her."
"I don't want more children to suffer from this." Gordon showed a painful expression and turned his head and said: "I know I promised you that I would not let more police appear in your life, but
This is the only exception, Bruce, for the last time."
When it came to the Claw Killer, Bruce frowned slightly, but he still put down his arm and said: "Let the police do their work, James, you are no longer the police chief."
"Of course." Gordon looked at the ceiling blankly and said, "I said, this is the last time."
Bruce's eyes stayed on the radio he was holding, but he quickly looked away, walked out of the bedroom, and saw another news about this clawed murderer playing on the TV.
But the difference is that this time the news mentioned that Spider-Man, who has been active in the skies above New York recently, seems to be facing this murderer. The former is investigating and hunting down the latter, and the police said that perhaps this kind of super criminal should be dealt with by superheroes.
deal with.
Bruce showed a bored expression.
Spider-Man saw a familiar figure when he was out of school. It was Bruce, but he was being chased by several strong men.
Spider-Man couldn't care less and rushed forward immediately, knocking down the strong men with a few punches and saving Bruce.
"What's wrong with you?" Spider-Man asked.
Bruce wiped the injured corner of his mouth, stood up and said, "I'm fine."
After saying that, he was about to leave. Spider-Man quickly stopped him, looked at the group of people and asked, "Who are they? Why are they chasing you? Won't you call the police?"
Bruce acted cryptic and didn't want to say more. He just waved his hand to Spider-Man and said, "Go home quickly. It has nothing to do with you."
"Why does it have nothing to do with me? They dare to chase you here in broad daylight, and the police don't care?"
"They are the creditors' people." Bruce lowered his eyes and said, "It is natural to pay back debts. How can the police control them?"
"You owe them money?" Spider-Man understood immediately. He looked at Bruce and said, "You borrowed a loan shark? Why did you do this?"
"Because there is no money."
"You...what do you need so much money for?"
"I broke a very expensive limited edition gift box, and my boss lost a big customer. I have to pay for it."
"What's going on?" Spider-Man remembered. At that time, Jason said that the doll they bought was actually broken by Bruce before, which showed that he was really messy in his work.
However, Spider-Man still decided to ask what was going on, so he took Bruce to a burger restaurant he often went to in front of the school, and decided to treat Bruce to dinner and ask what happened recently.
The two ordered two set meals, sat by the window of the burger shop, and watched the people coming and going in front of the school. Bruce took a big bite of the burger and said, "Yesterday, the boss asked me to give an old customer of his a child."
The birthday present for their 19th birthday was a set of limited-edition toys they ordered from Belgium. It was customized more than half a year in advance, and it was the only set that was rare and expensive."
"My boss has always wanted to move the store to this customer's community. It is a wealthy area and more people will be willing to buy gifts. If this is done, the store can be moved there smoothly.
If we hold another opening party, we can accumulate a lot of customers."
"Did you screw up?"
Bruce sighed and said, "I wouldn't have. At that time, I drove my boss's car on the road and put the gifts in the trunk. Who knew that the car in front of me lost control for some reason. Not only did it overturn, it also went sideways.
Come here, I didn't have time to apply the brakes and became one of the serial car accidents."
"Fortunately, I only hit the front face of the car. I took the gifts out of the trunk and planned to go around the accident scene and then take a taxi. But for some reason, everyone behind me hurriedly ran this way.
, pushed me to the side of the road."
"A big guy just ran away and didn't see me at all. He knocked me to the ground directly. The gift box flew out of my hand. As a result, a truck that also failed to brake overturned on the side of the road and hit the box."
"Of course the gifts were all broken." Bruce said, "I arrived at the client's home empty-handed and was kicked out. The boss's relocation plan fell through and I was fired."
"But that set of gifts is very expensive. I have to pay compensation, otherwise I will be taken to court and sent to jail. Then Gordon will have no one to take care of him, but I don't have that much money."
"I had no savings to begin with. Now that I have lost one of my jobs, it is impossible for my remaining two jobs to earn so much money in a short period of time. I have no choice but to take out a loan."
"But my credit score is not good enough, and I don't have any collateral assets. Regular banks will not lend me money. When I was working, I met a colleague who was lending money, and he helped me contact the gang."
Spider-Man covered his forehead, but he suddenly reacted. He looked at Bruce and asked: "Which way did you take when delivering the goods?"
"The way to go from Queens to Third Avenue in Manhattan is to go around Hall Street and drive a little further, with the bridge in front of you."
Spider-Man was suddenly stunned because he remembered that it was on that road where he captured the Claw Killer yesterday.
Because the murderer has been acting frequently recently, Spider-Man quickly grabbed his tail. When he once again wanted to hide under the children's toy slide and ambush the children, Spider-Man rushed up directly.
But this guy is indeed not a human being. Not only can he teleport, but his sharp claws are so unpredictable that Spider-Man almost had his uniform scratched.
But he would not let go of the killer who threatened so many families so easily, so he used his spider sense ability and greatly improved strength to fight the clawed killer several times.
During the battle, Spider-Man learned that this guy's name was Freddy and he came from Elm Street. He seemed to have a special interest in children and was very cruel and perverted.
In this way, Spider-Man cannot let him go. Although the little spider does not have rich combat experience, the power of spider mutation is indeed very strong. If he catches Freddy, he will be beaten hard.
Freddy didn't seem to want to fight with him. When he found that he couldn't fight him, he turned around and ran away. Spider-Man chased after him without thinking.
The chase that followed was a classic one. Freddy appeared in one car after another, scaring the drivers into turning the steering wheels randomly, causing serious traffic accidents and traffic jams.
Spider-Man knew that he was doing this trick to stop him, so he didn't fall for it at all. He flew over the car as fast as he could, punched out the car glass, and pulled Freddy out. After he teleported and disappeared,
Then lock the target as quickly as possible and kick him out of the billboard.
Spider-Man certainly saw the serious traffic accident below and the crowds of people fleeing in panic, but at that time he only had eyes for this damn murderer and wanted to bring him to justice immediately, so he just chased him all the way without having time to stop and mediate.
transportation.
Spider-Man was most convinced that the culprit of Bruce's current situation was the overturned truck he encountered. At that time, the truck fell in front of him, and Freddy got out of the front of the truck, slipping like a loach.
Ran away.
I pulled the driver out of the cab to prevent him from being hurt again, but I didn't notice that there was a gift box on the ground where the truck overturned.
"Do you know what's going on?" Spider-Man asked slightly guilty.
Bruce shook his head and said, "The police who arrived later said that a superhero named Spider-Man was chasing the killer."
"Superhero?" Bruce put down the hamburger paper and muttered to himself: "...Not to me anyway."
Spider-Man returned home full of thoughts. Jason's illness had gotten better and he was now cooking in the kitchen, and there were already two dishes on the dining table.
Jason's street life has allowed him to develop good cooking skills, especially Gotham stew. In short, he just throws some ingredients suitable for stew into the pot, and then adds a lot of chili, and the taste is still good.
Not bad.
Putting a large pot of stew on the table, Jason sat across from Spider-Man, looked at his face and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so downcast?"
Spider-Man opened his mouth and fell silent. After a while, he said, "I seem to have gotten into trouble."
He put his hands on the table and briefly told what happened. Jason sighed and said nothing.
"I thought you would persuade me." Spider-Man said, "Say something like that as long as you are worthy of yourself."
"We all know it's a lie." Jason said very bluntly: "If everyone only thought about being worthy of themselves, the world would be over long ago."
"Do we have the right to be the judge?" Spider-Man asked: "To trade one person's future for the life safety of another, what qualifications do we have to make such a decision?"
Jason shook his head. He didn't want to think about these problems now. During the past few days of illness, he felt the warmth of home from Peter Parker's uncle and aunt for a long time.
The Batcave is not bad, but you can't expect a sculpture named Batman to provide you with anything other than necessary survival conditions and combat guidance. Alfred is also very busy, and he is older. Jason
I was never embarrassed to bother him extra.
But the Parkers are not like that. They have a kind of enthusiasm from the inside out, as if if you don't trouble them, you don't treat them as one of your own. This is the most common kindness of small citizens.
Jason received extremely good care here, a little too well. Aunt May cooked delicious food every day regardless of time or place. What she actually meant by "you can try it" was that you can go to the sofa now.
Show off this plate of snacks, then go back home and fall asleep until fat quietly multiplies in every part of your body, until your heart becomes comfortable and soft.
Is this kind of life really bad? Jason couldn't give a definite answer. He only knew that the members of the Parker family lived happily, at least much happier than himself and Batman.
So maybe it’s not bad to choose to live like this. If you can’t, don’t want to, and have no position, then just be an ordinary person among all living beings and spend this life with smaller joys and worries. What’s wrong with that?
