The truth always comes out of the blue, but when the mystery is lifted, people have to learn to accept it no matter how difficult it is.
Gordon looked at the tied Barbara with worry. That was his daughter. The two of them had been father and daughter for so many years. Even if she really became a vampire, she would still be the king of vampires. In his heart,
Feelings cannot be let go for a while.
At this time, Schiller stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. He gave Dick a look and asked Dick to go upstairs with the real Barbara. He then took the somewhat lost Gordon to the porch behind the manor.
, Alfred looked at the fake Barbara, while the other Robins went back to rest and prepare for the next tough battle.
Gordon took out the cigarette with trembling hands, took a long puff, and sat on the railing of the porch with his elbows on his knees, his head lowered and silent.
Schiller sat next to him and said, "You were thinking about those videos."
"Yes." Gordon replied with a bitter voice: "But all my professional experience tells me that the video is real and this is what Barbara did."
"Yes, this is what Barbara did." Schiller did not deny it. He said: "She also admitted it. She did all these things and she remembers them all."
Gordon raised his eyes and glanced at Schiller, because he felt that the man was not repeating what he said, but emphasizing something.
But Gordon's mind is now blank. He has no clues, and he can't do anything to ignore the evidence and forcefully defend Barbara.
"So what about what she doesn't remember?" Schiller reminded: "There are some things that only you remember. Aren't you going to think about them?"
Only then did Gordon realize that Schiller was referring to the time when Barbara was a baby, but it was a bit too long ago and he really couldn't remember clearly.
"I don't know when they changed the baby." Gordon said: "They have too many opportunities. They can bribe or control a nurse to do it..."
Gordon felt very painful, but what made him painful was that he could not ignore the fact. The fact was that the modern medical system seemed to have very rigorous procedures, but it was not enough in the face of vampire magic. Just find someone to sneak in and make a secret change.
baby.
"Do you think you are special?" Schiller asked again.
Gordon didn't understand what he was referring to, but he still shook his head. Although he was not inferior, he was not arrogant enough to deal with this group of superheroes every day and still think he was special.
Even compared with Schiller, he was not special enough, and even the pain of losing his daughter was ordinary.
"What about your wife? Is she a normal person?"
This triggered Gordon's memories again. He didn't know how long he thought about it, but finally nodded and said: "Compared to you, she is of course an ordinary person."
"So why does Barbara's blood make vampires immune to sunlight?"
Gordon's movements froze slightly, but then he shook his head helplessly and said: "I don't understand these things, but maybe it has something to do with her date of birth? It has something to do with her blood type? It may even have something to do with what she ate one day.
Something to do with it?”
"Actually, you know a lot about mysticism." Schiller said: "This is often the case. The mystical attributes displayed by human beings have no rules and are not dependent on human subjective will. They always appear in unexpected places.
.”
"Maybe the real Barbara just let Dick suck her blood because she liked Dick and didn't want him to suffer from hunger."
"Sorry sir." Gordon shook his head in pain and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I really don't have time to guess riddles now."
"I should say sorry, this is just my professional habit." Schiller smiled and said: "If she let Dick suck her blood because she liked Dick, so that Dick had the ability to be immune to sunlight, then
Where’s the like?”
"Who is Zan?...The boy in purple clothes who was bitten later?" Gordon didn't know the Magic Twins, or maybe he had seen them before and couldn't remember them now, but he used the elimination method. After all, he knew Dick and Lightning.
Xia.
"Is he also immune to sunlight?" Gordon closed his eyes tightly, and under the influence of nicotine, his headache eased somewhat.
Schiller handed him a painkiller, but in order to calm himself down and think, Gordon took it and swallowed it.
"More than that, another professional mage and I both discovered that there is a power in his body. It is this power that makes him immune to the judgment of the sun. Where do you think this power comes from?"
"Who knows." Gordon shook his head and said, "Maybe there are many people who can make vampires immune to sunlight, and he bit one of them."
But Gordon found that this reason could not even convince himself, because if there were really many such people, most vampires would be immune to sunlight, and the disaster would be dozens of times more terrible than it is now.
"Perhaps out of sympathy, Barbara also let the boy named Zan suck her blood." Schiller raised a possibility, he said, "And then, the boy appeared in another place arranged by Batman.
Only the team left this for me."
Schiller gently pointed at the scar on his cheekbone, which was scratched when he avoided the bloody light during Zan's previous raid.
Gordon finally connected these scattered clues together. He said: "Someone gave Zan the power to be immune to sunlight, and then he attacked you. In other words, this power was prepared to attack you."
"The possibility of coincidence is not very high." Schiller still maintained his euphemism.
He and Arrogance have completely different styles. He never states any established conclusions, but deliberately gives some wrong answers in a guessing tone to guide the other party to think of the correct answer.
Under normal circumstances, Gordon would have reacted faster, but considering that he was in a bad mood, Schiller decided to speak more clearly.
"The vampires are gone, so the vampire king was caught. Don't you think this all went too smoothly?"
Gordon finally turned his head and stared at him. Schiller shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid we are not the only ones who play with time."
He felt his heart beating again. He looked at Schiller and said: "You mean that the truth is not like this, but Barbara does..."
"Yes, she is indeed the King of Vampires. She did bite three people in a row and created such a farce, but what if it wasn't actually like this?"
Gordon was a little confused by him again, and Schiller continued: "We thought this was a disaster that the vampires had planned for a long time, but now it seems that they may have been passive."
"The bad news for humans is that this is not the level they are at when they are fully prepared. The good news is that the level at which they are not fully prepared is very poor."
"Because they can't handle the current situation, they have to let this matter settle smoothly. What do you do when you can't handle a case?"
"I firmly believe that there is no case that cannot be handled. I will work hard to find the truth. Even the case of the Waynes, I did not give up."
"Sorry, you are a good police officer, but what will those rogue police officers in your department do?"
Gordon paused briefly and then said: "It's classified as suicide."
Then he connected all Schiller's previous words together and said: "In other words, this disaster is also a disaster for the vampires, and they don't want to end up in a situation like today."
"What they regret is not the war, but not winning the war," Schiller said.
"Yes, but they are also cowardly. They find that they can no longer control the situation, and they want the whole thing to end quickly. The method is to fake it as a 'suicide'..."
Gordon suddenly stood up and said: "If the King of Vampires is a member of the Bat Family, then Batman must come out to clean up the mess and give everyone an explanation. He has the ability to end the war."
"Barbara is his good helper. The two of them have also supported each other's emotions. Even if he wants to save Barbara, he will not allow the situation to escalate. The vampire can stop the loss in time."
"And assuming that the Flash who can travel through time is from their side, then they can completely travel to the past and let someone else be the so-called King of Vampires."
Gordon suddenly turned around and looked at Schiller and said, "You already knew this?!"
Schiller shook his head and said: "If the so-called real Barbara does not show up, everything will go smoothly. Even if I have doubts, there is no evidence and I have no obligation to pursue it."
"It's just..." Schiller lowered his eyes, but Gordon could clearly see that his face darkened slightly. His intuition from years of handling cases made Gordon feel an unprecedented dangerous aura from his body.
"Have you ever seen a type of criminal who has a habit of returning to the scene of their crime, and even likes to talk to the investigating police at the scene of their crime, just to see the police's confusion?"
Gordon's mind flashed through many figures in an instant, and he said with a complicated tone: "I've never met a few people who don't like to do this... I mean, Gotham, you know."
Then he realized what Schiller was referring to, and he said slightly suspiciously: "Are you saying that the person who claims to be my biological daughter is the kind of criminal who likes to return to the scene and find a sense of superiority from the police?"
"She was confident that her plan was flawless."
"To a certain extent, yes." Gordon's tone became serious again. He had conclusive video footage of Barbara's crimes. Even Batman couldn't deny it, although the story of being stolen as a baby was a bit...
Like a TV show, but actually not impossible to happen.
"And if, as you said, they traveled back in time and tampered with it, then this kind of weird thing is really possible. If The Flash secretly exchanges children, who can stop him?"
"Yes." Schiller did not deny this. He said: "If the magic factor is not taken into account, this is a reasonable explanation."
"In order to find a suitable growth environment for the experimental product it created, a certain evil organization stole a normal human little girl and stuffed the experimental product into it."
"They thought it would be useful to keep a normal little girl, so they didn't kill her. Instead, they let the little girl escape. They also followed the clues from the past to find the enemy who took her place. He has been lurking around them, looking for opportunities to take revenge.
"
"When the experimental subject finally showed her vicious fangs, she stood up to expose her true face, regained her identity, and lived openly and openly in the sun."
"It does sound a lot like a TV show." Gordon sat back and said, "But the reality is even less logical than the TV show, and if someone arranged reality, it wouldn't be surprising if it develops like this."
"The only problem is that she's back." Schiller said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "She is confident that she can replace your daughter and win the love of everyone in the Bat family."
"She can't," Gordon said. "Barbara is one of a kind."
"More importantly, she wanted to dance like this in front of Batman...and in front of me."
