The last ray of light dissipated, and it was night again in Gotham.

Darkness has shrouded again, the clear daytime is just accidental, and darkness is eternal.

Gordon and Harvey came to a small villa and looked at the tragically dead body while remaining silent.

As a staff member of the forensics department, Edward was playing with the corpse and collecting various evidences.

The deceased was Fras, a policeman.

Although James Gordon knew that he was a rogue policeman who had done all kinds of bad things, but now that Flass was dead, he still had to fulfill his police duties and find the murderer.

Edward stood up, took off the bloody rubber gloves on his hands, and said: "Preliminary testing shows that Flass was chopped with a sharp weapon, resulting in excessive blood loss and death. However, the murderer was very cruel, and there were traces of blood on his body.

Hundreds of wounds. Fras was tortured for a long time before he died."

James Gordon's face looked a little ugly, this method was too cruel.

But it's also Frass's fault.

When Sui Feng originally said that he was cursed, James Gordon suggested that he accept Sui Feng's suggestion and tell everything he knew. Anyway, the chance of the death penalty was very low, and the worst he could do was spend the rest of his life in Blackgate Prison.

But Flass rejected James Gordon's suggestion and left reluctantly.

James Gordon is also planning to visit his house to see if there is really a ghost asking for his life.

But he discovered that Fras hadn't come home at all.

The villa they were in was a "safe house" that Fras quietly bought, and it was located in an uptown area where wealthy people gathered.

Flass fortified the villa like a fortress. In order to deal with the so-called "evil spirits", he also went to Gotham Church to spend a lot of money to buy the so-called "holy water" and hung crosses all over the house.

However, the bottles of holy water had been turned into pieces on the ground, and many of the crosses on the wall had been cut off.

Obviously, these holy objects could not save Flas' life.

But this also made James Gordon breathe a sigh of relief. The holy water and the cross were useless, and the murderer was probably not the so-called evil spirit.

James Gordon asked Edward: "Are there any signs of breaking in?"

Edward replied: "Yes, the window on the second floor was smashed open. The murderer probably got in from here, but we found some climbing marks on the outer wall... very strange."

"Why is it weird?"

"That doesn't look like something a human can do. You'll know after I take you to see it."

Edward took Gordon and Harvey outside the villa, pointed to the outer wall and said, "There are several shoe prints here."

James Gordon said in surprise: "Are you sure you're right?"

This is a stone brick exterior wall with only a gap of less than half a centimeter.

Normal people can't even put a finger in, but the murderer actually used such a shallow gap to get up to the second floor?

"According to my estimation, the murderer's fingers are very strong. Probably...he could hold the steel plate with two fingers and hang himself in the air."

Edward's description was very vivid, and James Gordon immediately said: "In other words, the murderer may be a professional rock climber."

Harvey interrupted: "Where in Gotham are you rock climbers? I didn't even know it was a sport."

"No matter who it is, the suspect will definitely not be an ordinary person."

Edward also continued: "Detective Gordon, this house is equipped with surveillance cameras."

James Gordon said in surprise: "Is the surveillance on?"

Edward nodded and said, "Yes, it's rare, isn't it? There is actually functional surveillance in Gotham."

"Well done, Edward."

James Gordon praised him and was about to check the surveillance video, but Edward added: "I have seen the video, and it did capture the appearance of the murderer, but... I would like to remind you, be sure to

Be mentally prepared.”

Harvey was startled by Edward's sinister tone and couldn't help scolding: "Edward, don't joke about this kind of thing, or I will kick your ass hard!"

Edward squinted at Harvey, and then said, "I'm just a friendly reminder that I still have work to do, so you two can go watch it yourself."

When Edward turned around, a ferocious expression flashed across his face.

Harvey Bullock, I'll kill you before kidnapping the mayor!

Naturally, Gordon and Harvey did not notice Edward's malicious intentions, and came to the monitoring room of the villa together.

I don’t know what kind of evil deeds Fras had done, but surveillance cameras were installed in every corner of the villa. You know, this thing is not cheap, the cost of the video tape alone is heartbreaking enough.

The murder occurred during the day, and the videotape was still inserted into the machine.

James Gordon tried to adjust the time and soon saw the scene of the murder.

A tall, tightly wrapped man appeared on the second floor.

At that time, Flass was sitting in the room drinking. He appeared a little nervous. He was holding a wine bottle in one hand and clutching a double-barreled shotgun tightly in the other hand.

The sound of the murderer breaking in through the window alerted Fras, who threw the bottle away, grabbed the shotgun and rushed out.

The two met in the corridor on the second floor, and Fras pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The bullet sprayed out and hit the murderer directly.

But the murderer was only knocked back a few steps by the force of the impact, and then continued walking toward Fras unscathed.

Fras was so frightened that he pulled the trigger again, but the second shot had no effect. The murderer just took a few steps back and regained his balance.

Fras took out a bottle of holy water from his pocket and threw it at the murderer. The result was worse than bullets, and he couldn't even repel the murderer.

Fras had a nervous breakdown and ran to the first floor screaming.

But the murderer climbed over the railing, jumped directly to the first floor, and stopped Fras.

Immediately afterwards, the murderer pulled out an ax and struck at Fras.

I don't know whether it was unskilled or intentional, but the ax only scratched a bloody mark on Fras's chest, but it was just a skin injury.

Fras ran away frantically at home, constantly throwing so-called holy water bottles and crosses at the murderer, but the murderer was much stronger than him, and this method had no effect at all.

The murderer seemed to be playing with his prey, constantly cutting Fras's body with the axe, but leaving no fatal injuries. Until Fras fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss, the murderer began to stamp on his body with the ax crazily.

, I don’t know how many times I chopped until the upper body of Fras was a bloody mess.

So far, it has been just ordinary massacres.

But just after Fras was completely dead, the murderer stood up and lifted his hood and mask.

When he saw the murderer, Harvey couldn't help shouting: "Oh my God, damn, what is this?!"

James Gordon also took a breath of cold air.

Because what they saw was a ferocious pig head.

Instead of a mask, the murderer had a pig's head, because the two saw the pig's head open its mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs.

Only now did they understand why Edward asked them to be mentally prepared.

The visual impact was so terrifying that the two detectives, who were used to seeing corpses, were horrified.

Harvey trembled and said, "The evil spirit turns out to be real. James, do you think it's too late for me to go to church to repent?"

James Gordon was silent.
