The detective suddenly froze, sweat pouring down his face. "Since there's no problem, I'll take everyone away immediately!"
Soon, the East District police evacuated cleanly. Luther, always sharp, pieced together the situation and gave Lin Chen a thumbs-up.
Lin Chen nodded—but the matter wasn't finished yet. Secretly, he backhandedly reported the fat detective who had been snooping around.
A swarm of reporters immediately surrounded Lin Chen.
"Master, yesterday's live stream showed Catwoman at your house! Can you explain?""Master, Catwoman is gorgeous, but you can't harbor criminals!"
Lin Chen smiled faintly. "Catwoman was indeed at my place last night. But she left late—turns out it was a transaction, not a romance. She and the 100 yuan on the table vanished."
The reporters twitched at the corners of their mouths, barely holding back their laughter.
A male reporter, trying to sound serious, asked, "Daoist priest… Catwoman's fee is so low? Could you… introduce us?"
Instantly, everyone backed away a meter, giving him a look of disdain.
The reporter muttered, "You can't be a bit more honest as a human being?!"
Meanwhile, Catwoman, hiding in a room, gritted her teeth. This bastard! My reputation's ruined! She received a task message from Lin Chen and scowled further.
Outside, more people gathered around Lin Chen's police villa, some even hanging banners demanding he hand over Catwoman and Batman. Luther smirked from a distance, clearly enjoying the show.
Lin Chen called Jill. "Inspector, I need to prove my innocence. I want you to bring people for a search."
"Are you sure?" Jill asked.
"Absolutely. Bring more—my villa is huge."
In less than twenty minutes, Jill arrived with over twenty police detectives. Lin Chen opened the door and gestured them in. "Reporters, you can follow along too."
Twenty reporters eagerly rushed in, live-streaming every step.
Sister Widow, holding a rag, frowned. "It's all dirty! I'm cleaning again—help!"
"Wow, this housewife is stunning!"
"In great shape too!"
"What a fairy-like face—snap a photo quick!"
Sister Widow hid behind Lin Chen, blushing.
Jill glared at Lin Chen. Why isn't anyone believing me?
Lin Chen waved everyone toward the villa's right-side room on the second floor. "That's Inspector Jill's room. Have you checked it?"
The reporters scribbled notes eagerly. "The Taoist priest takes care of Detective Jill? A secret room in his villa? Amazing!"
"The air here is fantastic!"
"I feel refreshed—my headaches are gone!"
Jill glared, annoyed at their praise.
Lin Chen opened his phone, showing a live feed of Jill giving a speech. "Dent is speaking now… many people want Batman revealed. Looks like he's ready."
Lin Chen nodded, recalling Dent's admission: he was Batman. "I'm afraid this time, he won't get his wish."
Clapping his hands, Lin Chen gathered everyone. "Citizens of Gotham! Many want me to reveal Batman. I've always refused, but I apologize for the shock."
He paused, eyes sweeping the crowd. "I haven't revealed his identity. I believe Batman is a police officer. Gotham has remained stable for years thanks to him. Criminals fear Batman. But…"
Everyone leaned in, tension high.
"…it can't go on like this. It's time for Batman to show himself."
Dent, mid-conference, was about to admit he was Batman. Bruce Wayne, mingling in the crowd, prepared to act.
Suddenly, the live-feed big screen flashed. Lin Chen raised his voice. "I first apologize to Batman… and my new neighbor, Luther. I'm going to report… Lex Luthor… maybe even Batman!"
"What?! Luther is Batman?"
"No way!"
"This rich guy is Batman?!"
Lin Chen pointed to the distant police villa. "If you don't believe me, check it yourselves. 260 days ago, I saw a man in a black cape entering the police villa opposite."
Sister Widow twitched. You saw this while dreaming in bed? Harley Quinn also raised an eyebrow, confused.
Jill tugged at Lin Chen, motioning for him to calm the situation. Lin Chen reassured her with a touch of his hand.
Dozens of people headed toward Luthor's villa. Reporters swarmed him.
"Mr. Luthor, how do you feel as Batman?""Why leave beautiful women at night for Gotham's security?""Batman, your demeanor is low-key—what do you think?"
Luthor looked utterly bewildered.
Lin Chen approached, frowning. "Batman, though we are friends, for public safety, I must report you."
Luthor pointed at himself. "I'm Batman?"
Widow Sister and Harley exchanged pitying glances. This poor guy… the Taoist priest is relentless.
Luthor exclaimed, "What a joke! I'm Batman?"
Lin Chen waved dismissively. "I have no Catwoman either. But if you claim otherwise… do you dare let everyone search your villa?"
