Everything happened so fast.

Batman didn't get to the courtroom in time, Gordon didn't have time to give instructions, and the marshals on both sides of Maroney didn't have time to stop him.

Everyone watched Sal Maroney pour an unknown liquid on the face of District Attorney Harvey Dent. There was a moment of silence, followed by buzzing and shouting.

The bailiffs on both sides immediately put Maroney on the dock and took the bottle from him.Maroni didn't resist, and even found a position as comfortable as possible, laughing at Harvey who was covering his face.

Harvey Dent trying to take him under the knife?Well, he's going to let these funny clowns who claim to be righteous see what happens to him!

Maloney believed that as long as Harvey Dent was admitted to the hospital, the trial would certainly not be able to continue, and before this afternoon, his lawyer would take him out of this wretched place.In a few days, he will show up in a certain venue again, slapping the face of the bastard who dared to attack the Maroni family!

As he was thinking this, he saw Harvey wipe the liquid off his face, and the whole face was intact.Although the wet hair made his originally neat hairstyle a little messy, but he did not lose his grace, and his two blue eyes contained stars and flames, and he accused him righteously: "Sar Maroni, I hope you know that in court, by pouring water on the District Attorney, you are in contempt of judicial authority, and for that alone, I could sentence you to a few more years in prison."

"Of course," he reached out and wiped his hair back, exposing his smooth forehead, then faced the trial seat and the jury, shrugging his shoulders: "Given the sentence you may be sentenced to, maybe these few years in prison are not good for you. A piece of cake."

The nervous whispering and shouting faded away, replaced by low-pitched laughter.

Maroni's smile hadn't been retracted before, but now it was directly frozen on his face, looking extremely funny.

He looked at Harvey, and then at the bottle in the policeman's hand. The words "quick-acting antacid" on it were very eye-catching.

...He got it right? ? ?

Who the hell replaced sulfuric acid with water? ! ! !

Gordon stood in the monitoring room with his arms folded across his chest, his brows furrowed tightly.At this time, Batman also returned here, with a low voice: "Things are not that simple."

"You also feel that something is wrong?" Gordon glanced back at him, and then said, "I don't think Maroney went out of his way to provoke Harvey in court just to sprinkle some water on Harvey's face."

Batman asked, "Where's the water container?"

"It's still in the hands of the bailiff," Gordon said, "I asked them to hand it over to me immediately after the trial."

There were no more surprises, because of Maroney's behavior in court, his sentence was passed quickly, as Harvey said before, the evidence he had in his hands could keep him in prison for hundreds of years .

Not long after, Gotham's trio met in a lounge somewhere.Upon seeing Harvey, Gordon immediately asked, "How are you feeling?"

"It's nothing, if I have to say it, I'm quite excited now." Harvey laughed, and swung his fist happily: "I can count that bastard Maroni thrown into jail."

Batman switched the mode of the goggles, carefully inspected Harvey's whole body, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual about him, so he was relieved: "Those are indeed water."

"Yes, but speaking of this," Harvey touched his chin, looking very puzzled: "I think Maroni's expression was also quite surprised at the time. What did he think he was holding?"

Gordon said, "We'll find out soon."

Not long after this sentence was finished, a policeman brought over the vial that Maroney had brought to court.When the three of them saw the words on the bottle clearly, their expressions suddenly sank.

Batman unscrewed the bottle, and a pungent smell wafted out immediately.

"It's sulfuric acid." He screwed on the bottle and said with certainty.

"This bastard!" Harvey cursed in a low voice with a gloomy face, "He must think that as long as I'm not here, no one will have the guts to sentence him."

"That's the truth." Gordon said in a deep voice, "but the question now is, why are you okay?"

Regarding this, Harvey himself is also very puzzled: "I don't know," he said: "But I'm sure it's water. If it was sulfuric acid, I would have been disfigured."

"What's going on?" Gordon joked, "Isn't someone magically turning sulfuric acid into water in the air?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three people present suddenly realized something and fell silent together.

"Uh..." Harvey scratched his head: "No way?"

Batman was silent for a moment, then took out a black scale from his universal belt, and called out in a deep voice, "Erberister."

After a while, the scales lighted up slightly, and from it came Erberist's unique voice: "Good afternoon, Batman." As usual, he greeted with a slightly soft voice, which can make people immediately Reminiscent of those golden eyes slightly lowered and smiling: "What's the matter with you?"

Batman turns the interrogative into a statement: "It was you who replaced the sulfuric acid with water."

"That's not accurate, it's just a little magic." Erberist said indifferently, and at the same time, there was a little dissatisfaction in his tone: "I just cured Harvey Dent, and someone wanted to come Destroy my achievements," his voice became softer and softer, and finally the end sound suddenly picked up, making people feel a sense of unreasonable danger: "This is not good."

Hearing his affirmation, Harvey and Gordon looked at each other.

Batman frowned: "Maroni has been sentenced."

"Are you worried that I'll kill him? No, he's not worth my while." Erberist's voice seemed a little uninterested: "If you're just here to ask me this, then this conversation can come to an end. "

Batman was silent for a moment, and under the surprised eyes of Harvey and Gordon, he whispered: "I owe you a thank you."

There was a pause on the other side, and even the indistinct sound of breathing that had been heard before disappeared.

If it wasn't for Batman's impossibility, he would have thought Urberister's pause was due to being overwhelmed.But the other party's voice was the same as before, and he couldn't hear anything unusual: "No need." He paused, then said: "Goodbye."

At this moment, Harvey finally recovered from the successive shocks, and said, "Wait, there's me too, and I—"

The light on the scales disappeared.

Harvey rushed to nothing, and let out a long sigh of annoyance: "I owe him a thank you too." He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and then corrected: "No, a few words."

"We all owe him a thank you." Gordon said seriously, and then looked at Batman with a surprised expression, as if he had discovered a new continent: "I didn't even know you would say thank you?"

Batman glanced at him expressionlessly, turned around and strode away with his cloak swung.

……

After finally solving the big problem of double-faced people, Erberister lay back on the bed in a relaxed manner, and took a long breath.

He believes that as long as Harvey Dent does not turn bad, Gotham will welcome batch after batch of people with lofty ideals who yearn for the light under the leadership of the Iron Triangle, and they will change the city for the better.

In the evening, Batman invited him to the Batcave again. Erberister guessed that the investigation in the morning had some results, so he came to the Batcave at the appointed time.

Just as he thought, some words scrolled on the screen of the Bat computer, and seeing him coming, Batman turned his head and nodded to him, and then explained: "I used the computer to simulate all possible sorting methods, and we were lucky, It found the right answer at the 800th trillionth time."

The text on the screen was exactly Elena's reply after cracking it.
