Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!
Chapter 101 Just tell me if it's 1 Nook Gold.
Hey mayor's secretary, you're not a native of Gotham, are you?
— Jaeger was speechless for a moment before turning his thoughts back.
He pressed Elena for several more details about the case, and only after Barbara recorded them did he breathe a sigh of relief: "One more question, you don't mind if I provide what you just said as evidence to the Gotham Police Department, do you?"
"Even if you mind, it won't make a difference," Jaeger added sincerely.
Elena: "..."
Then why are you asking me?
She subtly rolled her eyes: "Heh, I don't mind, great detective—after all, what you're hearing now isn't my original voice."
"I see." Jaeger said thoughtfully. "No wonder you sold your employer so decisively... You probably never used your real identity to make the deal with him from beginning to end, right?"
"With just a change of face and identity, one can blend into the crowd and be nowhere to be found."
"No need for compliments." Elena crossed her arms, looking rather unhappy. "Shouldn't you let me go now? I've told you everything."
"Of course, of course," Jaeger nodded, "but before that, there's one more thing."
Elena: "What?"
"Hand it over." Jaeger stretched out his hand, palm up, and waved it at Elena.
"..." Elena instantly realized what Jaeger was talking about, and sighed, "You really don't let any evidence go unnoticed."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out a small transparent bag from somewhere and tossed it to Jaeger.
"I'm so unlucky to have run into you today—I was planning to use this to extort some more money from the mayor's secretary, tsk."
Jaeger reached out and took it, then looked at it.
Inside the transparent bag was a seemingly ordinary piece of chain remnant.
However, if the surrounding lights are turned off now, the fluorescent paint applied to this fragment will start to glow, serving as a guide in the dark.
As for how to use this fragment and how to use it as evidence, that's a matter for the forensic department and the prosecutor to handle.
So Jaeger simply confirmed that everything was alright and then handed the small bag to Jason for safekeeping.
Perfectly, Jason is in charge of the physical evidence, while Barbara is in charge of the photographic and audio evidence. He's practically made perfect arrangements for the two assistants he's dragged into this role...
Jaeger, the master of balance, was very satisfied with this.
"Alright, I'm a man of my word, I'll let you go." Jaeger then looked at Elena, "However..."
"...I don't have anything else on me that's related to this case." Elena noticed something was off about Jaeger's tone and immediately narrowed her eyes.
"No, I don't intend to ask you for anything more." Jaeger shook his head. "However, if you're leaving, how about I see you off?"
"No need." Elena raised an eyebrow. "I can walk by myself, sweetheart."
"...That's not what I meant." Jaeger sighed, "If you go out now, you'll most likely run into the GCPD officers who are on their way."
"And once I hand over the evidence, your situation will become quite awkward... If you don't let me help you now, even if you are really good at disguise, it won't be so easy for you to get away."
"Alright, you've convinced me." Elena drawled, "Then let's see what you're planning to do, Mr. 'Detective'."
Barbara leaned close to Jaeger's ear and whispered, "Are you really going to let her go, Detective?"
Upon hearing this, Jaeger simply gave Barbara a look that said, "Don't worry, wait for my news."
"Together with Jason, hand over the evidence to Chief Gordon, and tonight's events should be pretty much over."
"As for the follow-up... I will handle it."
After saying this, Jaeger watched Jason and Barbara leave before walking over to Elena.
"Ready to unleash your magical powers?" Elena smiled. "I'm really looking forward to it."
"There's nothing to look forward to." Jaeger simply placed his hand on Elena's shoulder, and he teleported her to the rooftop of the building. "That's all."
"...You've ruined something as fun as magic, detective," Elena said, looking around with dissatisfaction.
"There's nothing I can do; after all, I'm just an unassuming detective... wizard." Jaeger thought for a moment. "Oh, by the way, before you leave, there's one more thing I wanted to ask you..."
"Excuse my bluntness," Elena took a deep breath, "Can't you just say everything at once? Do you have to keep saying 'There's one more thing'?"
"This is truly the last one," Jaeger said earnestly. "—What I want to ask is, who exactly are you?"
Although the mayor's secretary who murdered the politician at the dinner party appeared to be just a figurehead...
But the "Elena" in front of us is clearly not that simple.
She is skilled in disguise, able to fool almost everyone when playing other roles, and also possesses considerable physical prowess.
Even her cat can trigger a fun event card.
Although she doesn't seem to be a superhero at the moment, nor does she resemble characters like Scarecrow or Penguin who have clearly defined opposing stances, she is more like someone who walks the gray area.
But her true identity must also be that of an important figure.
And being an important role means there are achievements to be made!
Since there are no walkthroughs available now, it seems very difficult to achieve the full honor...
But as the saying goes, since we're already here...
Upon hearing Jaeger's question, Elena raised an eyebrow with interest: "Oh, so that's what you're curious about."
"But it won't hurt to tell you this." Elena stroked the cat that was perched obediently on her shoulder, a smile playing on her lips. "I love cats, these beautiful, intelligent, mysterious creatures... these adorable little guys..."
"So, I also choose to be like them—to become a cat that sneaks into the night and is everywhere."
"Some people have seen me and call me...Catwoman."
The moment the words fell, a familiar sound of accomplishment rang in Jaeger's ears:
[A new achievement has been unlocked!]
[Achievement Completed - "Cat? Cat!"]
[Unlock condition: First encounter with "Catwoman"]
[PS: Standing before you now is Catwoman, a legendary thief who lurks in the Gotham night and is renowned among certain groups for her ghostly thieving skills!]
This woman, with her unique taste and hobbies, uses "cat" as her pseudonym, and she herself has a deep affection for cats.
An interesting question is... cats have nine lives, so what about Catwoman?
"Alright, you kept your promise, I'm satisfied." Catwoman blew Jaeger a kiss, "But I sincerely hope I don't run into you again on my next job, 'Detective'."
After saying that, Catwoman landed quickly, flipped over, jumped off the spot, and rolled onto another high platform on the roof of the building next to the original one, intending to take the opportunity to leave.
At the same time, she kept a close eye on Jaeger out of the corner of her eye.
But when she found that the other party not only did not try to stop her, but even silently took a few steps back, the catwoman felt a little more satisfied.
However, just as Catwoman was flipping and leaping between the skyscrapers, seemingly about to leave the surrounding area—
Just around the next corner, she bumped right into a tall, dark figure that seemed to have been standing there for a long time.
"!?!" The catwoman reacted instantly and jumped back a few steps.
At the same time, the dark figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing chilling white goggles and a bat emblem on its chest.
"I knew that detective wouldn't let me go so easily." Catwoman smirked. "But I never expected that the person who came to stop me on his behalf would be you—Bat."
Batman, standing opposite her, remained silent, simply gazing intently at her.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"Hiss hiss hiss." Burks peeked out from Jaeger's wrist, curiously looking in the direction the catwoman had left.
Then, it curiously wrote on Jaeger's hand: "Huh? You really just let them go?"
I thought there would be some kind of trickery involved... I didn't expect you to actually keep your word like this?
"Yeah," Jaeger replied, fiddling with his phone right after Catwoman left. "Besides sending Batman my location and letting him know when she left, I really didn't do anything else."
Burks: "..."
Jaeger seemed to see speechlessness in a pair of cold, snake-like eyes.
Jaeger looked completely innocent: "Huh?...I only promised to let her go, but I didn't promise not to notify Batman?"
"So I am still me, the man of my word, Jaeger."
Burks: "Hiss."
I can't argue with you, but as long as you're happy.
