Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 170 What do you mean I won’t tell you? Why don’t you ask?
When Batman arrived at the botanical garden on his Batbike, Alfred told him that Poison Ivy had left the botanical garden with the Riddler.

But he couldn't just go and catch these two people now, because there was still a group of gang members in the botanical garden, and they never came out, which might mean that these people were in great danger.

Despite this, Batman decided to rush over to check on their situation and perhaps save one or two lives.

He drove his bat motorcycle directly into the botanical garden, sped along the forest road, and soon found a section of road covered with thorns.

"These plants aren't growing normally," he concluded at a glance. "And there's blood on the thorns. Judging by the color and the level of clotted blood, these people were only recently released from these thorn bushes."

Moreover, the thorns of the poison ivy were covered with drops of strange green juice. It was obvious that these plants that grew completely out of the ordinary were poisonous.

A path inexplicably appeared among the thorns, but it didn't look like someone had used a sharp weapon to open it. Instead, it seemed as if they had automatically made way for a path, which was even wide enough for him to drive his motorcycle through.

But he looked at the axe in his hand - he finally listened to Alfu's advice, because after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was really no weapon nearby that could be used against Poison Ivy, and the axe he found along the way was actually the best weapon against plants.

Maybe the axe was brought in vain, maybe not, no matter what, Batman still held it tightly, and drove the motorcycle into the path, and just a few seconds later, he reached the other side of the dense poisonous ivy, and all the thorns and obstacles in front of him disappeared, revealing six figures on the ground and the man squatting beside them.

Ma Zhaodi

Batman recognized the man at the first moment. When he was chasing the Joker last night, he handed the Riddler, who he believed was doomed to die, to the police officer. What he didn't expect was that the Riddler actually survived with such injuries and escaped directly from the hospital.

He also conducted a review today, and combined with the results of the Riddler's inspection, he realized that he was almost fooled by the other party. It was also for this reason that he had a certain impression of this police officer. When he further investigated this person, he found that there were more unusual things about him.

Who could have rescued over twenty people from the Joker's murderous joke theater with near-unharmed safety? Who could have solved the Riddler's long-planned, almost guaranteed escape plan on his second day in office? Who could have stumbled upon that Joker-inspired car accident, saved a driver, and happened to spot the Riddler just as Batman was about to let him go? Who, today, ran into the driver murdered by the Joker with laughing gas and discovered the location of the murder?
Most importantly, he discovered a fact from the experience of this superhuman Gotham Police Department officer, that is, in everything he was involved in, except for a few comedians who were shot to death by the Joker in the theater at the beginning, there was no other death.

It was as if ever since he stepped onto the stage and into the spotlight of that comedy theater, the Joker and the Riddler had lost the ability to kill. All their victims from then on were seriously injured, but none of them died. Even their wounds were quite strange, something the doctors had never seen before.

He even went to Gotham Hospital at noon today, and after he left, all the seriously injured patients seemed to have improved.

Could it be him? Batman wondered, could this police officer have saved so many people? Could he, like Poison Ivy, Solomon Grundy, or Clayface, have some secret or special ability that he himself didn't know about?
Thinking further along this line of speculation, could his ability be healing or protection?
In just a few seconds, the person in front of him made Batman's mind rewind several times. He got off the motorcycle, hung the axe back on his waist, and walked straight over.

"Batman, we meet again."

Ma Zhaodi nodded to Batman, and at this moment, his phone rang, so he waved to the other party and answered the call.

"Hello, Sheriff Gordon?" "Yes, it's me, Ma Zhaodi. Six guys who looked like gangsters appeared in the botanical garden and were hung by some vines. I rescued them. This looks very much like the work of the 'Poison Ivy' written in the criminal file, but there is no trace of her. I guess she doesn't plan to stay at the crime scene any longer."

"Yes, their condition is not good. They are injured and their mind is unclear. We need to send them to the hospital first."

"Me? I was just passing by here and heard someone screaming in the botanical garden, so I climbed over the wall and came in."

"Not next time, not next time"

While he was talking on the phone, Batman walked up and checked the six gangsters on the ground one by one - their heartbeats were strong, there were scars from thorns on their bodies, the amount of bleeding from the wounds was not heavy, and they were all in a coma. It seemed that these were the only minor injuries on this group of people.

"No one died," Batman quickly judged. "On my way here, seven pistols and an automatic rifle fell on the ground. The firepower is very destructive, and this is a botanical garden - but Poison Ivy didn't kill anyone?"

This is not normal.

He recalled the sap he saw when he walked through the thorn bushes, and it was obvious that causing only minor injuries was definitely not Poison Ivy's intention.

I should have taken some vines as samples just now, Batman reflected secretly in his heart. He has just debuted for a year and he still lacks experience. He often misses the best opportunities.

If we go back into the woods looking for poison ivy now, we may not be able to find it.

After thinking it over, Batman began to confirm the identities of these six people. This step was not difficult. Just like he was the first to know the news after Carmine issued the kill order, the information of some senior executives of Falcone was one-way transparent to him and Sheriff Gordon.

"'Big Gun' Carleno, 'Fishy' Christopher, 'Fan' Leonardo, 'Babyface' Chino."

Batman glanced at the gangsters lying on the ground, then looked at Ma Zhaodi who had finished his phone call and asked, "You saved them."

"They were lucky," Ma Zhaodi replied. "When I got here, Poison Ivy had already left. I just had to get them off the vines. It wasn't that difficult."

"That's not what I meant." Batman's expression remained unchanged. "The vines were poisonous, and you cured them of the poison."

"Yes."

Ok?
Why did this guy admit it so readily?
