Chapter 027: Return to Gotham

As it turned out, the slap in the face came that quickly.

Looking at the righteous-looking woman in front of him, Wang Bo was completely bewildered. "Who are you? What makes you say I'm connected to a murder case?"

I came to this metropolis and haven't killed anyone, have I?

The woman said calmly, "I am Rachel Dawes, the district attorney of Gotham City. We now suspect you are connected to a series of murders involving the Falcone family. Please come with us now to assist in our investigation."

Wang Bo: ...

Rachel Dawes?

If Wang Bo remembered correctly, this person was Bruce Wayne's childhood friend—what might be called a sweetheart—and also the one Bruce Wayne loved.

By the way, in the Batman comics, there actually is no woman named Rachel Dawes.

Bruce Wayne, that is, Batman's love interest, is Catwoman!

Of course, in other worlds, Batman has also had a romantic relationship with Wonder Woman.

Then there was Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Ra's al Ghul.

And this woman is the only one in the world who has given birth to a Robin for Batman, but the one she bore is the most 'troublesome' Robin in history!

In fact, this woman is somewhat unsuitable as Batman's partner. Although she helps Batman every now and then, she can turn around and become a villain in the next second.

So this woman can't be considered Batman's true love.

In Wang Bo's view, Batman's true CP is none other than Catwoman.

However, in this parallel world, the woman Rachel Dawes is the lifelong love of Bruce Wayne.

However, Wang Bo never expected that he would see this Rachel today, let alone that this Rachel would come to arrest him.

"Miss Rachel Dawes." Out of consideration for Bruce Wayne, Wang Bo did not show his displeasure. "You say I'm connected to a murder case, so tell me, who did I kill?"

Facing Wang Bo's interrogation, Rachel Dawes said calmly, "Hal Dack, Romeo Linus, Roman Hudi, Mona Engels... Do you want me to continue?"

Wang Bo shook his head decisively. "Sorry, I don't know any of the people you mentioned."

Rachel Dawes said calmly, “It doesn’t matter that you don’t recognize them now. I believe you will in court. Now, please come back with us to assist in the investigation.”

Wang Bo very much wanted to simply close the door and lock this woman outside, but seeing her fearless expression, he knew that she had already made thorough preparations.

He twitched his ear and heard many breathing sounds.

These sounds of breathing were not far from him, hidden in corners invisible to ordinary people.

Once he refused, the owners of these breaths would rush out from all directions.

Although Wang Bo was not afraid, he did not want to resist arrest. In a society governed by law, once he resisted arrest, he would inevitably be wanted and would have to go into hiding.

Wang Bo didn't like this kind of life, so he said decisively, "Fine, I'm willing to go back with you to assist in the investigation."

Isn't it just assisting with an investigation?

It's no big deal.

Anyway, Wang Bo didn't know any of these people, and perhaps before long, he would be able to come back.

A few minutes later, under the escort of a group of police officers, Wang Bo got into a car.

Rachel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing Wang Bo get into the car.

A man walked over, a smile spreading across his face. "Congratulations, Rachel, you've caught another big fish today."

Rachel said, "Let's hope so."

Wang Bo's excessive cooperation gave her a bad feeling, and her voice lacked confidence as she spoke. After all, she knew better than anyone just how bad the public security in Gotham City was.

But even so, Rachel could not be discouraged.

One day, she would lock up all the bad guys in prison.

The police car sped along the road. Wang Bo sat inside, looking around. Apart from him, everyone in the car was a fully armed police officer, each watching him with vigilant eyes.

It seemed that if Wang Bo made the slightest move, they would suddenly attack and give him a lesson.

Wang Bo shifted his gaze to their hands, seeing either pistols or submachine guns—the firepower was absolutely ferocious.

It seemed that in order to catch him, Rachel had brought a group of elites.

But Wang Bo was very puzzled.

In the eyes of the police, he was just a core enforcer of the Falcone family—not even the second or third in command, let alone the eighteenth.

To catch me, deploying a whole squad of fully armed police officers seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?

What is going on here?

Wang Bo thought it over, recalling the few names Rachel had just mentioned: Hal Dark, Romeo Linus, Romon Hudi, Mona Engels—all names he had never heard before.

Could it be that I missed something?

Wang Bo thought carefully and soon found a corresponding piece of information from Adam Wang's data.

Romeo Linus, the prosecutor of Gotham City.

This was a prosecutor with a strong sense of justice, who opposed the Falcone family at every turn, and then died.

Wang Bo remembered that the reason the identity he had taken over was able to become a core enforcer for the Falcone family seemed to be because he had killed this Romeo Linus!

This discovery greatly surprised Wang Bo.

In other words, the people Rachel mentioned were likely killed by Adam.

And Wang Bo had taken on the identity of Adam.

So in the eyes of Rachel and the others, he was Adam, he was the murderer.

This was not good. If Rachel really found evidence, he would be confirmed as the murderer, and his final destination would be prison.

Damn it, this fucking identity has screwed me over.

Wang Bo wanted to cry but had no tears.

What he yearned for was an ordinary, mundane life, not a life in prison. To be honest, Wang Bo simply didn't seem like someone headed for jail.

What if I just ran away now?

Wang Bo was quite confident in his own skills. Although the car was full of police officers, all heavily armed, if he suddenly erupted, at such close range, knocking them out would not be a problem.

But if he did that, he would very likely be wanted by the police.

But if he didn't escape, he would very likely be locked up in prison.

Just as Wang Bo was in extreme distress, he suddenly saw a familiar building. Ah, Gotham City at last—Wang Bo had finally returned to Gotham City once again.

He found that he seemed to have formed an indissoluble bond with Gotham City. Every time he tried to leave Gotham City, he would always end up returning to Gotham City for various reasons.

And each time it was not of his own will to return, but rather he was forcibly dragged back by some matter.

This made Wang Bo very helpless.
