Chapter 3180 The Detective is about to die (Thirty-one)

If the superpower of Batman in the main universe is to control corpses, then he can actually use Jeff's corpse as bait to attract the attention of the reeds and create an opportunity for himself to escape. In addition to being a famous detective and fighting master, Batman is also an escape master. With the help of such powerful skills, it is not difficult to escape from the reeds.

But Schiller and his team obviously couldn't do that, because in this situation, no one would be happy to be the bait. It was clear that everyone was on the wrong side of the issue, and it would be difficult to convince the other party to contribute to the team.

Schiller turned his head and looked at the two barrels of gasoline by the wall.

He began: "We don't actually have to completely defeat the reeds, we just need to create a space that allows us to put people and materials in."

Bruce obviously also thought of the wonderful use of gasoline. He said: "After all, reeds are also herbs. We can use gasoline to burn a buffer zone."

"But we must act quickly," the Pale Knight said. "Even if gasoline is not afraid of the water on the reed leaves, there may not be enough oxygen in the underground cave to start a big fire."

At this time, Schiller had already moved the two barrels of gasoline over. Although they were two barrels, they were actually two small plastic barrels, the kind with a bottle cap that could be unscrewed at the upper edge. The capacity was not very large, and the two barrels together were less than 10 liters.

"I need a flashlight," Schiller said, "and a pistol."

"You plan to go down." Greedy frowned and said, "I don't agree... Don't look at me like that. Why don't you think about it? If something happens to him, who can beat the hunter?"

The Pale Knight looked at Nite Owl, but he was not completely sure, because the main universe Batman who played the hunter was the classic Batman with extremely strong fighting power. Among their group, the only ones who could be sure of winning against Batman head-on were probably Nite Owl and Schiller.

Night Owl's own combat capability is very strong, and his points should be very high as well. Schiller's points are not high, but for some reason, he is very good at fighting. Only when the two of them join forces can they be sure of defeating the main universe Batman. If any one of them is missing, this group of people will be in vain.

"I'll go." Greedy sighed and said, "If necessary, I will take some extreme measures. Give me the oil barrel."

Schiller knew that he meant that he could release wind blades, but wasn't this guy's skill cooldown a bit too fast?

Greed picked up an oil drum and took the flashlight from Night Owl. When Night Owl was about to hand him the gun, Greed shook his head and said, "When I call you, throw the gun down."

After saying that, Greedy went down the hole in the ground. Through the not very big hole, they could see the reeds rushing towards him at the fastest speed. However, Greedy soon ran out of their sight. Not long after, the reeds suddenly began to fall down in groups.

The gasoline was soon poured onto the ground. After Greedy shouted, Night Owl dropped his gun. Greedy shot the gasoline-spattered ground. The sparks ignited the gasoline, burning out a high wall.

Several people jumped down as quickly as possible, and the Joker and Bruce threw down the shelves they had just obtained, and then the two of them jumped down as well.

Reed was indeed afraid of fire. He used his leaves to splash water out of the lake in an attempt to put out the flames. However, burning gasoline was difficult to deal with. It could not be put out by just adding some water. Once the fire was put out here, it would spread again.

Even so, Schiller noticed that the fire in the cave was burning particularly vigorously. He remembered that when they came here, they first walked a long way, then ran back halfway, and then came back again. After all this trouble, they didn't feel tired at all.

He suspected that the oxygen content in the underground cave might be higher than normal, but theoretically this was impossible unless someone had tampered with it.

They carried the shelves upstream of the river, and only put them down and started assembling them when they reached the other side of the passage across the river.

Schiller bravely moved closer to the lake. At this time, the light of the flashlight shone over and dazzled Schiller's eyes. He saw Greed also walking towards this side.

Greedy proudly waved the gun in his hand and said, "Now it's my turn to have a gun. Would you consider apologizing or something?"

"Your shooting skills are not good." Schiller said calmly, "If you can't kill me with one shot, you will be the one to die."

"Tsk." Greedy uttered a sound, but he actually knew that the reason Night Owl gave him the gun so easily was because this kind of small police pistol was indeed quite ordinary, with a short and unstable shooting range, and had high requirements for the user. Not everyone could use it.

Greedy shone his flashlight on the river bottom. The fish were still running. Schiller walked over and grabbed his wrist, moving the flashlight downwards to the river bank.

Schiller saw very obvious signs of artificial excavation there.

It can only be said that the traces beside the naturally formed river channel should hardly look like they were shoveled by an excavator bucket. This made Schiller more convinced that although the underground cave was natural, this underground river must have been created by Sirtek.

Schiller inexplicably thought of some knowledge about aquaculture. Although he had never raised fish, he had seen others set up aquariums. For fish, water quality, water temperature and oxygen content are all very important standards.

To raise so many fish at one time, and keep them all alive and kicking, the data in the cave must have been strictly controlled. Schiller felt that if there was no gain in the laboratory, they should be able to trace the river upstream, find the source of the water and see what was there.

The bridge was built about half an hour later. It was called a bridge, but in fact it was just a pile of shelves stacked on top of each other. Although the ladder looked a bit ugly, Schiller still believed in Bruce's level of mechanical engineering.

"I'll go first," Bruce said. "Who wants to go second?"

Night Owl was about to speak when the Pale Knight glared at him and said, "I'll go second, in case you cross the river and destroy the bridge."

Bruce rolled his eyes but said nothing. He just stepped on the ladder and walked over steadily. The Pale Knight was relatively conservative. He bent down slightly to lower his center of gravity for stability and also walked over quickly.

Schiller followed closely behind, and then it was Night Owl. But just after everyone else had passed, the Joker suddenly said, "Oh, I suddenly changed my mind. You guys go ahead. I'm going to check on the cabin again. The snow has stopped snowing for so long, the snow should have started to melt, right?"

Schiller captured the fleeting dark light in Greedy's eyes after the clown said this. Just as Greedy was about to say something, the clown kicked the simple temporary bridge into the river.

Then he left without looking back.

Now no one could catch up with him, so they could only stand on the shore and stare blankly. They had no choice but to walk towards that road while thinking.

Schiller thought the clown must have discovered something.

If that were not the case, he wouldn't have to say so many words. He could have just destroyed the bridge and left. But he insisted on emphasizing that the snow had stopped and the snow had begun to melt.

What will be revealed when the snow melts?

Schiller couldn't help but think of the process of his crime that Greedy confessed. He killed the detective somewhere and dragged his body into the cabin. The detective's upper body was split in half by the wind blade, and a lot of blood must have been shed. The dragging must have left traces on the ground.

It's just that it had been snowing before, and the accumulated snow covered all the traces, but once the snow started to melt, the traces would be exposed.

But that wasn't quite right. On the one hand, when they were in the cabin, the temperature outside was minus 20 degrees Celsius. In this kind of weather, even if the snow stopped, it would not melt.

On the other hand, they had found traces of wear and tear on the detective's head, such as stones. How could this be? Could greed have turned the body upside down and rubbed it on the ground?

Schiller had no answer. They walked deeper into the cave, which became narrower and shorter. In the end, they had to hunch over to move forward. After walking for a few minutes, the largest night owl could no longer pass through.

Being thin has its advantages. The Pale Knight, who was the thinnest among all, could still go quite a distance. Bruce, Schiller and Greedy were not as thin as him, but they were also on the thin side, so they could still get through. However, Night Owl had increased his size too much, so he could not get through at all.

But if Night Owl couldn't get through, how did the main universe Batman get through? They are of similar size, and the hunter played by the main universe Batman is even more burly.

Schiller suspects that Batman in the main universe may have another way to enter. After all, this series of stories may have been made up by him, so it is normal to leave a way out for himself.

But now they could see the exit was more than 200 meters ahead, and they didn't plan to change the route. Only Night Owl, who couldn't get in, turned around and left. Before leaving, he took the pistol he gave to Greedy, but left the flashlight to them.

Crouching was no longer feasible for the rest of the journey, so one had to crawl forward. The Pale Knight, with his thin build and agile movements, reached the exit at the fastest speed.

Next came Bruce and Greedy Schiller at the end. When Schiller climbed to the very end of the passage, he found that the size here was almost the same as a ventilation duct. There was not much space for people to move around, and the head could only move slightly. If he raised his head slightly, he would hit the wall above the cave.

Just as Schiller looked up, he suddenly found that the wall above the cave was not smooth. He tried to lower his body, stretched one arm upwards, and used his hand to dig it out. Some broken stones fell into his palm.

Almost exactly the same as the gravel seen on top of the detective's head.

Schiller immediately realized that the friction marks on the top of the detective's head might not have been left after death, and he must have been to this cave before his death.

But if they crawled slowly like they did, it was unlikely that their heads would hit anything above them. The only way their scalp would be rubbed like that was if they crawled forward quickly while suddenly looking up at the exit, which was very consistent with the situation in a chase.

Combining what the clown said and Greedy's expression at that time, Schiller came up with a new guess, that is, the person was indeed killed by Greedy, but the body might not have been transported to the cabin through the ground, but through the hole under the carpet.

Schiller remembered very clearly that when he first started looking for clues, the clown was squatting there studying the carpet. At that time, Schiller was busy thinking about the rules of the game and was imagining the abilities of the Prowler, and did not pay attention to the details of the carpet.

Maybe the Joker discovered something and realized that there was a loophole in what Greed said, so he said something like the snow was going to melt to hint them.
