Gotham gradually filled with a strange atmosphere.
[18:30].
Bruce is refreshed.
He had a bird's-eye view of Gotham from the Wayne Building, and suddenly noticed a thick smoke rising from the west.
"Wait, that's not an industrial area..."
Bruce Wayne frowned and turned on the TV.
In an instant, the news of "The Riddler Gentleman successfully detonated the statue of Gordon" stunned Bruce.
"Gordon the Great Statue?"
Bruce Wayne closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
A few minutes later, he directly dialed the number he hadn't called for a long time.
In these years, he rarely contacted Old Gordon on his own initiative.
"Old man, is there something missing about that puzzle that you didn't tell me?"
"What's missing? What do you mean?"
Bruce Wayne said in a deep voice: "Signature, what is that guy's signature!"
"1, 2, 3... Yours truly, the busy 'Riddler Gentleman' Edward Rin."
Ha ha.
Suddenly, Bruce Wayne smiled.
"I see--"
Chapter 118 Happy score scoring moment? (seeking a monthly ticket)
【18: 45】
When James Gordon Jr. rushed to Gotham University in a hurry, it took a lot of time.
After all, Gotham University is located on the west side of Gotham City, which is a bit far away.
Watching the great portrait of his proud father being blown to pieces, James Gordon Jr. bit his lower lip tightly, a trace of blood slowly oozing out there.
Click click.
Many students were watching and taking pictures.
By the way, send the photos to the forum.
James Gordon Jr. twitched his fingers slightly, but in the end he didn't come forward to stop these people.
Because...it doesn't matter anymore.
"King of Gotham? Refers to the 'Gordon Statue'? Isn't the puzzle behind it completely meaningless? Also, just blowing up the 'Gordon Statue' without any casualties at all, what the hell is that damn riddle gentleman What do you want to do?"
"Here, sir, have a drink?"
Another police officer next to him saw James Gordon Jr.'s livid expression, so he went to the canteen next door to buy a bottle of the newly released drink, which was cold and refreshing.
Little James Gordon didn't refuse either, and gulped it down. As the heart-cooling liquid poured into his throat, little James Gordon felt a lot better in an instant.
at this time.
James Gordon Jr.'s phone was ringing like crazy.
——It's his father.
"Son, that riddle..."
Before Old Gordon could speak, James Gordon Jr. interrupted Old Gordon: "Dad, I'm sorry! Let you be blown up! Oh no, let your statue be blown up!"
Old Gordon didn't notice the slang in James Gordon Jr.'s words for a while, but his tone was a little anxious and anxious, and he said quickly: "No! Son, you heard me, in the riddle of the gentleman of riddles...his There is more than one crime location! He wants to blow up...three places! Where are you now?"
Little James Gordon was taken aback when he heard this.
Three, three, three places?
Too, too, too insane, right?
After listening to old Gordon's words.
That was the answer to the riddle.
James Gordon Jr. cut off the call with a heavy heart.
He looked down at the time silently...it was already too late.
"Sir? What are you laughing at?"
The accompanying police officer gave James Gordon Jr. a sudden, curious look.
"Laughing?" James Gordon Jr. rubbed his cheeks vigorously: "You must have read it wrong."
It's too late to cry at a time like this, how can you still laugh?
The so-called riddle becomes worthless as long as the answer is explained.
There is no mystery at all.
At least according to James Gordon Jr., that is.
In Riddler Gentleman's latest puzzle, the whole of Gotham City, including James Gordon Jr., is caught in a misunderstanding.
Everyone, including James Gordon Jr., thought that "one" crime was foreshadowed and only "one" crime was committed.
But in fact, the riddle gentleman used a short puzzle to point to two times and three places.
In the puzzle——
"I will be with the last ray of sunshine" undoubtedly refers to the sunset. At sunset, it is 18:00. The sunset in Gotham City is always on time.
But at the same time, it also refers to the west side, and on the west side of Gotham City, the true meaning of "Sea of Knowledge" is "Gotham University"!
"King of Gotham" refers to James Gordon, the mayor of Gotham City. Putting it together with the previous riddle, there is no doubt that the answer is the "Gordon Statue" that was just blown up.
The follow-up to the riddle, "followed by, boo, listen" actually hides the meaning that the gentleman in the riddle will commit crimes one after another. The action of "listen" means paying attention to the sound.
"The short sword, the long and narrow spear, the moment when the horn is issued", reminiscent of the long and short hour hands of the clock tower!
Every hour, the clock tower will strike a bell.
And the horn immediately after 18:00, that is, the bell, then the time is 19:00.
Stars fall, and beasts strike.
Pointing to two places respectively——
"S·T·A·R Laboratory"!
"Gotham Zoo"!
"Witness the fireworks in Gotham together"... This sentence naturally means that these two places exploded at the same time.
And the biggest reminder is actually at the final signature.
"1, 2, 3" are actually the most critical prompts for solving puzzles, and "busy riddle gentleman" is actually implying that the riddle gentleman will be very busy in this criminal operation!
After all, there are three places to bomb.
suddenly--
Little James Gordon's pupils shrank slightly.
He thought of a deeper meaning.
The reason why the riddle gentleman chose the "Gordon Statue" for the first explosion was to distract the police. Second explosion!
The dreadful and thoughtful riddle gentleman!
The darn charming riddle gentleman!
"correct--"
Only then did he remember that even if it was too late, there was still something to be done.
But when little James Gordon looked down at his watch.
The time frame was just right.
[19:00].
……
……
Gotham City.
S·T·A·R Laboratory.
Gotham Zoo.
boom!
boom!
Almost at the same time, it exploded on the spot.
Like the fireworks of a celebration, the blazing flames illuminated the gloomy sky of Gotham City and hurt everyone's eyes.
This--
It's the riddle gentleman!
GBC radio station.
The authoritative experts, including everyone, who was talking about the riddle set by the riddle gentleman suddenly felt a strong shock.
Everyone ignored the live broadcast of the show and hurriedly leaned out of the window to have a look.
Gotham City is divided into two places...
At this moment, it has turned into a sea of flames!
It's bound to be a busy night.
Whether it's Riddler Gentleman, or Gotham.
in the dark.
A gentleman in a tuxedo quietly walked away from the crowd.
Behind, is a raging fire.
A real man never looks at the explosion behind him.
There was chaos in the streets, but also an eerie madness.
Countless citizens, carrying various firearms, frantically searched for criminals around the Star Lab and the Gotham Zoo.
As if isolated from the world, Yi Lin quietly shuttled through the crazy crowd. When the citizens of Gotham suddenly realized that someone was passing by, they turned their heads and saw that elegant figure had long since disappeared.
"Three 'crimes', three balls."
Yi Lin took out the question mark scepter and smiled.
Then it was quickly retracted into the storage space and replaced with an ordinary black umbrella.
In terms of style, I feel that umbrellas are more forceful.
After all, the question mark scepter has been around for a certain period of time, so it looks a bit worn out.
In addition to successfully blowing up the "Gordon Statue" not long ago, Yi Lin gained a lot of crime points.
[In the name of "Riddler Gentleman", destroy Gotham's famous landmark "Gordon's Statue" and get a crime value of +60000! 】
[In the name of "Riddler Gentleman", destroy the Gotham branch of S·T·A·R Laboratory, and get a crime value of +30000! 】
[In the name of "Riddler Gentleman", destroy Gotham's famous attraction "Gotham Zoo" and get a crime value of +40000! 】
This score came very quickly.
It's no wonder that Li Erpang's eyes were greedy when he saw it.
"what?"
