Chapter 29

Wayne: "Zhou Ke? We only know his name, appearance, and medical records? No other information?"

Gordon: "We also know that he took the high-speed train from Metropolis to Gotham City today and has an appointment with a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum at 11:00 AM."

Robin: "So we know his future movements... Wait, an appointment with a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum? He escaped from the asylum to have an appointment with a psychiatrist in Gotham? Isn't that strange?"

Dent: "What's strange about it? Maybe the doctor treated him before, and he decided to see him while he was still lucid to get help, so he doesn't do anything harmful to society."

Bridget: "Or maybe the doctor is a woman he has a crush on, but he's always had a secret love for her. This time, he escaped to confess his love to her in Gotham."

Gordon: "You two are both wrong. The doctor who provided us with the information claims he has never seen him before. According to Zhou Ke, he believes he was framed and doesn't have a mental illness. He came to Gotham to get a psychiatric evaluation to prove his innocence."

Robin: "Ah? So he's a victim of a false diagnosis?"

Gordon: "Who knows? It's not uncommon for mental patients to claim they don't have a mental illness. How do you know he's telling the truth?"

Robin: "But logically, if he went to great lengths to escape from the asylum, he wouldn't hide or enjoy his freedom. Instead, he would run to another psychiatrist for a diagnosis. A guilty person wouldn't do that..." — Rebuttal

Gordon: "Logic? Do mental patients have logic? His abnormal actions, which normal people wouldn't do, prove that he is sick..." — Counterattack

I (Voiceover): "This is too logical. I need to think it through... No, it's a vicious cycle."

Gordon: "In any case, whether he is a victim of a false diagnosis or not, it's always right to arrest and control him first."

Dent: "That's true. Better safe than sorry. If we let him do something irreparable, it would be bad. Besides, Zhou Ke's mental illness diagnosis from a legitimate psychiatric hospital is legally binding. His escape from the hospital is a fact. Arresting him and handing him over to the relevant authorities is an act of civic bravery, and there's nothing illegal about it."

Gordon: "Yes, let's arrest him first. If it turns out he's telling the truth and he's not sick, we can do a show to help him clear his name. Let's get to work."

Everyone: "Yes."

10:30 AM, outside Arkham Asylum

Jonathan: "Ah, ah, hmm~ This is the GCTV headquarters, testing the sound, testing the sound. Can everyone hear me clearly?" — Sarcastic

Jordan: "I can hear you clearly. Stop making those weird noises; they're giving me goosebumps." — Shivers

Bridget: "Yeah, yeah." — Agreeing

Gordon (via communicator): "You all need to be on high alert. We need to catch Zhou Ke before he enters Arkham Asylum. If he completes the psychiatric evaluation and is admitted, we won't be able to catch him."

I (Voiceover): "If Zhou Ke is admitted, the problem is solved, isn't it? You're overdoing it... The old man will do anything for the show. Poor Zhou Ke."

Robin: "I still think Zhou Ke is telling the truth. He's not crazy." — Full of trademarks

Wayne: "Stop daydreaming. We'll catch him and ask him ourselves, and the truth will come out." — Fully equipped

Kent: "Ask him yourself? You're going to interrogate a madman?"

Wayne: "I've received systematic interrogation training and am a master interrogator. I can tell if he's really crazy or lying just by questioning him."

Kent: "That good? Do you have a portable lie detector? I know your equipment is quite advanced." — Skeptical

Wayne: "Why would you think that? It's a skill I've mastered over years of training, not something you can achieve with just equipment... The target is here."

Robin: "Here? Where, where?" — Looking around

Wayne: "He's not outside Arkham Asylum; he's inside, and he's coming out."

Robin: "Coming out? That's impossible. When did he go in? Why didn't we see him? And it's not even 11:00 yet."

Kent: "He must have changed his plans and came to Arkham Asylum early for the evaluation. That's why none of us saw him go in."

Gordon (via communicator): "Stop analyzing after the fact. Go and catch him. We can't let the cooked duck fly away."

Everyone immediately surrounded Zhou Ke.

Zhou Ke: "W-Who are you? What do you want in broad daylight?" — Holding a bag, nervous, thinking he's being robbed

I (Voiceover): "The two cross-dressers in front of you aren't scary, but the three photographers behind them are not to be trifled with. For your safety, you should surrender."

Robin: "Don't be afraid. We are the champions of justice, the superheroes of Gotham." — Gentle attitude

Zhou Ke: "..." (Looking at Robin and Wayne's costumes) "Help! There are two mental patients out here." — Shouting

Wayne: "Who's the mental patient? You, the madman, are the one making false accusations. Robin, help me catch him." — Moving to arrest, pinning Zhou Ke to the ground

Zhou Ke: "I'm not crazy. This is my psychiatric evaluation report. The doctor said I just have some depressive moods and low self-esteem. I was framed... Are you from Seaside Pharmaceuticals? Help! Kidnapping! Call the police!" — Struggling and shouting

Dent: "Don't misunderstand. This is a film crew. Here's my ID." — Quickly showing his ID to the crowd

Wayne: "Still lying? I'll send you back to the asylum."

Robin: "That might be difficult. This psychiatric evaluation report clearly states that he has at most depression, which is very different from the previous diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Arkham Asylum won't admit him." — Taking the report from Zhou Ke and reading it

Wayne: (Taking the report and reading it) "This is just an outpatient evaluation. The time for outpatient visits is limited, and the doctor can't fully assess his mental state. So this so-called 'psychiatric evaluation report' is not official and has no legal standing. He's still crazy."

Dent: "Let me see... Batman is right. Director, what should we do?"

I (Voiceover): "Batman? Wayne specifically requested it? What about Robin? Just like that, his real name is out?"
