There seems to be something wrong with my tenant

Chapter 19 The Richest Man's Underground Lover

Hearing Sherlock's words, Tony remembered Jason's mocking tone when describing Gotham - he said that it was a city that was beyond repair.

And this cold city gave them a big gift on the first night of their arrival.

Tony didn't notice the explosion when it happened, but Tony could vaguely hear its aftermath.

It was a mixture of screaming and crying, loud abuse, and the sound of horns resounding through the block...

If you ask Tony what is his impression of the country he has lived in for 15 years, then Tony is likely to immediately think of the prosperity of New York and the sunshine of Boston.

As for Gotham, even if Tony knew that there was such a place in the world, it only existed in a few words in reports or news, some videos and photos.

To be honest, Tony had never been this close to the other side of the world.

Jason's previous warning was still vivid in his memory, Tony and Sherlock looked at each other.

"Do you want to go out and have a look?"

"And then he was taken away by the police for investigation at the explosion site in an unfamiliar place?" Sherlock sat back again, and the mattress made a creaking sound because of his movements.

He rubbed his messy curly hair: "Tony, I'm just looking for the feeling of my brain working when solving a case, not just wanting to drill where there is danger."

At this time, the two people really had a down-to-earth and real feeling about "coming to another world".Whether it's a first-time heist gang or a bombing that happens right next to them, in just a few hours Gotham candidly reveal its dangers.

The two wisely stopped talking about the explosion.

Tony pushed the quilt away, he got up and changed the subject, "...you said it as if you saw a murderer with your own eyes."

Sherlock still had the usual tone: "I have indeed seen it."

He didn't seem to notice Tony's sudden pause, nor did he see the other's curious urging expression, so he opened his BlackBerry and searched for the keywords he had just kept in mind.

Tony, who was ignored: "..."

"Sherlock, if I don't know that the world's top technology can't make a bionic person, I will definitely suspect that you are a dummy-seriously, where is your switch? Tell me, I promise It will be kept a secret."

Tony relentlessly harassed and harassed the young temporary roommate who had already begun to have a frigid temperament.

Sherlock had never met someone as... familiar as Tony.

Obviously when they first met, this young master had the attitude of throwing money at people. Who would have thought that this guy would be able to make fun of him in less than two days?

Sherlock made him lose his temper, he had to move to the wall, and said in a low voice: "Stark—"

It's not that he can't really push this annoying boy away, but looking into Tony's eyes, Sherlock is inexplicably hesitant to do so.

Sherlock: ...There must be something wrong with his eyes.

Pretending not to hear Sherlock's warning, Tony leaned over reluctantly, and read out the eye-catching headline of the news that Sherlock opened: "The secret of the underground lover of the richest man in Gotham, the dark knight you didn't know, the playboy's love affair In those years..."

Tony let out a mocking voice from his throat, and he pretended to be surprised and said to Sherlock: "I didn't know you still had a hobby of reading gossip. Admit it, Sherlock, there are still some human qualities in your programming."

Sherlock took a deep breath—even when facing Mycroft, he seldom acted like this. Sherlock looked at the man whose mind was spinning so fast but who was too lazy to think. guy.

"Gotham Knight, or Batman, don't you think anything from the name?"

Tony said indifferently: "You mean the old bat in Jason's mouth? It seems that Gotham is really different from New York. The taste of the richest man is so weird..."

The first thing that the search engine showed was the gossip about the weird guy in the black tights.Tony only glanced at the accompanying picture, and expressed his aesthetic impact on the black equipment: "I kind of know why Jason wears such a silly mask."

Tony complained mercilessly: "It's all the regional culture that influenced him."

Sherlock's focus is different from Tony's. He read dozens of Batman-related news - during which he also clicked into some weird forums. Tony, who relied on him to watch gossip, saw After some explicit titles in it, I couldn't help being amazed for a moment.

However, Sherlock still looked calm and unshakable. Seeing his reaction, Tony really wondered if he lacked some emotions.

Regardless of Tony's increasingly strange eyesight, Sherlock had a vague guess in his mind after roughly reviewing Batman's past.

"Jason has a personal vendetta with that bat."

"Obviously," Tony said, imitating Sherlock's usual tone, "I thought you were aware of that fact from the first time you heard him say 'old bat'."

"Although you do have a bit of my charm, but that's not the point—"

Sherlock looked at the little Stark who was laughing together beside him complicatedly. He had never discovered that he had such a talent for making people laugh.

"Have you figured it out?" Tony said with a serious face, "I'm also curious about the relationship between Jason and that bat."

"Just some thoughts..."

Sherlock didn't know where Tony had confidence in himself.Photos of Batman are rare, and almost all rely on the nonsense of those reporters and the few words of passers-by. The information collected by Sherlock can only support him to deduce some vague fragments.

"Don't you think it's wrong for Jason to mention that bat? If it's just hatred, then he shouldn't say the other party's code name so casually."

Tony guessed: "Maybe there is hatred, but it's not the level of deep hatred."

"Besides hatred, there are other things..."

Sherlock frowned unconsciously. He clicked on the historical records again, and murmured: "The relationship between the Gotham vigilante and Jason is very bad. Jason doesn't sign a rental contract with Samuel like we do. He is not unlucky." Across time and space for no reason..."

"It was the bat that chased him in the warehouse and made a wish in a hurry!" Sherlock's speech speed gradually accelerated, "They have already had a confrontation, but how did Jason mess with this weirdo? Oh, the blood on his body ...Jason killed someone and was targeted by that righteous dark knight..."

Sherlock closed his eyes and meditated, and the air seemed to be drawn by his rapidly turning thoughts, becoming viscous and anxious.

"If it's just like this, Jason wouldn't bring up the other party with that kind of emotion... There must be something missing - identity!"

Sherlock's eyes widened suddenly, and he remembered his initial reasoning about Jason, a justice envoy who came out of a slum - the equipment on his body, the safe house they were in...

What's more, without sufficient funds and professional training, it is difficult for an ordinary person to have such skills.

So someone must have funded Jason, or even trained him when he was young—how many well-wishers are there in Gotham?Well-meaning and wealthy eligible candidates seem to be few and far between.

Sherlock ruled out the most unlikely options one by one, and his eyes finally fell on the name of the richest man in Gotham.

"Bruce Wayne."

Sherlock stood up excitedly, waving his arms wildly, as if to describe the intricate web of relationships between Jason, Bruce, and the bat.

"Playboy, the richest man in Gotham, the best spokesperson for stupid people and rich money," Sherlock quickly read out a series of names, "It is impossible for a righteous dark knight to appear for no reason, and the one who supports him must be a person with sufficient funds." , someone capable of supplying his equipment and taking care of the finishing touches..."

Is this person's description similar to the guy who raised Jason?

That's right - with the same purpose, this Mr. Wayne probably funded Jason and Batman separately!

Sherlock stated in a firm tone: "Jason is probably Bruce's adopted son, and Bruce is Batman's backer."

Tony also became interested when he heard this: "Since according to your reasoning, the two of them should be acquainted with each other—that Gotham playboy wouldn't watch his two subordinates fight like this?"

"Jason's performance is not as simple as a competition between two heirs."

Sherlock turned the screen of the phone to Tony, and the title of "Everybody's Gold" hangs on the top——

"Shock!Wayne met Batman at night, and left the hotel in a disheveled state the next morning"

"Wow..." Tony swallowed, "So, Jason is..."

"It's a love-rival relationship."

Sherlock said with emotion: "Human beings are always jealous over such boring things."
