Chapter 9 (1/2)
Director Gordon recalled his memory as he was driving back to the police station.
It's a long way to get back to the police station from Akam island. It's not only a few bridges and tunnels, but also the urban area after that. The two-sided woman and her men are the most arrogant.
Of course, there is also a weakness in using law as a weapon to deal with villains. She knows and understands the law, and is the best lawyer. Before going crazy, Harvey Dante was a star of Gotham, a famous young prosecutor.
However, due to her rich legal knowledge in the past, even if she was caught by Batwoman, she would soon be released on parole. After all, Batman could not testify against her in court. There were only scattered material evidence but no witnesses, so her crime would not be recognized by the jury.
Of course, money also plays an important role.
Gordon has been on the alert since Batwoman left, but nothing happened. Until last week, he received a call to the police from the public. It was said that the circus went out in a big way, burning, killing and looting in the streets.
He immediately sent police to maintain law and order, while he drove to Arkham. In the past, the circus showed such behavior, and often the jester came out again.
But when he arrived at Arkham, where he passed through the guards and saw the jester, she was in her cell, sitting on the ground, very polite, with a napkin, eating a roast mouse with a plastic knife and fork.
He and the jester had nothing to say, and after confirming that she was properly locked in, he returned to the police station to continue to deal with the riots in the city.
Gordon is an old detective. Such a situation will not let him relax his vigilance. The act of the circus makes him feel a little abnormal. From that day on, he will go to Arkham every day. Only when he confirms that the Jester is still inside, can he rest assured.
Although the bat light on the roof of the police station has been on, it is only a deterrent to criminals. Bats have left and Gotham is unattended.
At the end of today's visit time, he did not speak to the jester. The whole process was just that he quietly watched her painting on the floor of the small room through the thick bulletproof glass. Drawing a few strokes, she seems to think of something, and then burst out laughing, and then draw a few more, and then dancing around the room.
Make him want to rush in and beat her up.
Yes, he hated her, but the law can only do so much. He even thought about killing her countless times, but it conflicts with his lifelong belief. He was a policeman, and he had vowed to guard the city's order and law, and mental illness was legally immune.
Maybe one day the city council will recognize their danger, remove the immunity of lunatics, and impose the death penalty in Gotham and put those guys in electric chairs.
He looked forward to that day, his relatives, his friends, countless people died in the hands of the madman, he can leave the position of director, apply to be a death penalty executor. But it will come from a trial of law and justice, not his lynching of James Gordon.
In this regard, he and the bat woman's cognition is similar, but very different from the death knell. People like Cindy and Su Ming never get revenge overnight.
Although laws are rules and provisions made by representatives of Parliament and represent the wishes of the masses, the death knell does not like to be represented. What laws are not legal can be eaten?
Gordon couldn't wait to see what she was painting. She left the police station later than usual today, because someone called the police during the day to say that Ninja appeared in the city and attacked someone.
One day and half a night, Gordon was on the trail.
Unfortunately, the rain was so heavy that no clues were left. Even the police dogs could not smell any smell.
Now it's more than midnight. He should go back to the police station to pick up Barbara and go home with him. Maybe he can buy some doughnuts and hamburgers at the gas station as dinner for two people. But I don't know if the fast food restaurant that he often passes by will open in this weather.
Driving in the rainstorm is a strange feeling. You can't see the scenery far away, only the monotonous beating sound of rain in my ear.
Gordon turned on the radio, but soon turned it off. The announcer of Gotham radio had a sharp and excited voice, which reminded him of the madman and the man he had just met.
Maybe one day I should check the announcer. I always feel that she is a member of the circus.
Gordon's lonely journey inevitably makes Gordon's thoughts full of thoughts. He can't help but feel heartache and worry when he thinks that his daughter has been in a wheelchair at a young age. Although she is still beautiful, so kind and lovely, the disabled are always at a disadvantage and inconvenient in choosing a spouse.
The torrential rain outside the window is beating the car glass. The sound of the rain surging and flowing down, like the sound of waves, rises and falls like the sound of waves. When Gordon drives the car, his heart is hard to calm down.
Bat nvxia said that there may be a cure for spinal nerves, what is it?
She said there was danger approaching. What was it?
The circus a few days ago, and the shadow dancers Union today. What are these guys planning?
With his head full of questions, Gordon narrowed his eyes and tried to see through the windshield completely blurred by the heavy rain. He had to hurry to pick up his daughter and go home. The car can't break down in water here.However, at a junction ahead, just around the corner, he found a man in strange clothes lying on the side of the road in the water.
Although it was dark and the rain had affected his vision, he was sure that he had seen someone fall and that the heavy rain was flooding her body mercilessly.
He reduced the speed, carefully observed the situation, there are no suspicious personnel, roadside buildings are closed doors. The residents of Gotham have long passed the stage of meddling. No one will ever take care of those who have fallen on the roadside, because it may be blackmail or a trap.
However, in most cases, people who fall down on the roadside are more likely to die because of various causes.
Freezing death, starvation, murder, drug overdose and so on...
of course, this also gave birth to Gotham's profession, which is specialized in collecting corpses. Last winter, he and bat girl smashed a freak factory that made sausages out of dead meat. It is said that their products are specially designed for high-end restaurants, and the supply is in short supply.
Gordon didn't want to know who had eaten in the city. He didn't even dare to think that he might have eaten it without knowing it. After that, he didn't eat sausage or meat stuffing for some time...
he slowly stopped the car, unfastened his seat belt, tightened his tight windbreaker, and checked his pistol.
As a police officer, even if he is already a director, he can't turn a blind eye to the people who fall down on the road. That's the responsibility.
The wind and rain were getting worse. When he left Arkham, it was not like this. Now, it is almost 10 meters away, it is difficult to see things clearly. The wind is against the car door, so he has to work hard to get out.
Step into the water over the ankle, the whole body of cold attack to the bottom of my heart.
”Hoo...” the rain in the wind makes Gordon unconsciously bow his head to avoid it, and his glasses suddenly get wet, and everything in his sight becomes distorted, like looking at a ha ha mirror.
He deeply realized that he was old, and his strength and physical strength were declining. Even though he was less than 60 years old, all kinds of hidden injuries caused by years of years made his joints ache in this rainy day.
Closing the door, he blocked his glasses with one hand, and pressed the pistol in his waist windbreaker with the other hand. It was like an old man covering his aching waist in the storm and moving forward slowly.
As he got closer and closer, he could see the man lying on the side of the road better. He was a young woman, wearing clothes made of animal skin, just like a caveman.
Gordon is not surprised, when you have a friend dressed up as a bat every day, driving her bat like car across the market, her props are called bat darts, bat belts, bat gloves, bat cloaks.
So you can accept whatever you see. Gotham has never been short of geeks. It's just that some of these people just go to Halloween parties, and some are dangerous people.
