Chapter Fifty-Six: The Two-Faced Man

Jason sat on a dripping beast, binoculars, and watched the open-air stage below and the growing crowd around the stage. Jason's little buttocks, which were a little hard to the touch, hurt a little, and he had been sitting here for almost a morning.

"It's better to be the dripping beast on the roof that Bruce patrols every day."

Jason moved and rubbed his aching buttocks, wondering if it would be better to change positions.

Jason sat here in broad daylight in a Robin uniform for one reason — the mayor was here to give a speech and cut the ribbon for a new project.

Oh, don't get me wrong. Of course, this is not because Batman has become the mayor's exclusive bodyguard or anything, but because Batman has received the news from some special sources that Two-Face is likely to attack the mayor.

Two-Face, Jason learns from Dick that he and Bruce are college classmates. The two had a very good relationship before, and the two-faced man was committed to politics and worked hard to clean up Gotham's political environment. He did come close to succeeding, and as the best prosecutor in Gotham, countless Gotham criminals were sent to prison through his hands.

Unable to be bribed, he does not accept any threats, and he is upright, and the youngest prosecutor in Gotham, who was given the title of "Knight of Light" by the citizens of Gotham, is also the most promising young political star, and has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Gotham criminals.

A sudden fire destroyed the family of the "Knight of Light", his wife and son died in the fire, and half of his own body was devastated in the fire, and half of his face was disfigured.

The culprit who broke into the house and set it on fire was quickly caught and sentenced. But Harvey knew very well that the man who was caught was nothing more than a top bag, and the real man behind it was laughing wildly behind his back.

But he has no evidence, he can't do anything. The law, once so proud of him, pale in the face of his enemies.

The disfigured half of his face was completely damaged and could not be repaired, and the doctor suggested that he be made a fake face to cover the horrific half of his face.

The result of multiple factors is to make Harvey. Dante, the man, has developed another personality and has become one of the most terrifying forces in Gotham's underground - Two-Face.

Jason has seen his photos, and the half of his face that is not disfigured is enough to show how handsome this man is, no worse than Bruce, and he can imagine that his wife must be a big beauty, and his son must be very cute. But on the disfigured half of his face, Jason saw only the demon's hideous expression.

For Harvey, Bruce has always felt guilty, he has sensed that someone is trying to do something to Harvey, but he can't stop it, and he can't even find evidence to send the mastermind to prison, because the arrested villain bites him to death just to rob him, and the arson is just to stop them from chasing him out and arresting him.

There was no shady or instigated action, and the complete ignorance of why he poured gasoline everywhere before the arson was held at the trial scene is enough to show that Harvey's rivals must have been involved.

“... Gotham is really corrupt."

Jason looked at the paragraph about Harvey. Dante's transcript that he thought the worst people were nothing more than giving people to the corpses of the Gotham Bay guys at every turn, and only now did he understand why the criminals of Gotham always said that they were much more noble than the well-dressed beasts.

Jason boredom wandered around with his binoculars, looking over the faces of the gathered crowd one by one, and by the way, commenting on everyone's expressions;

"Evil, auntie, can you scrape that layer of putty on your face? Baby Bruce won't take a fancy to you."

Jason could read most of the lip language by now, but even if he couldn't, he could guess what the woman was saying from the woman's facial expressions.

"If you're bored, don't come to participate."

Looking at a little boy who was about his age standing next to "Auntie" with an expression of "I want to go home" written on his face, Jason couldn't help but say.

"It's boring, when is the mayor coming?"

One o'clock in the afternoon was the official announcement time, and Jason had been here all morning, and the time was almost up.

Jason's line of sight changed from one person to another, from the center of the stage to the streets and alleys, and he looked everywhere he could. Bruce told him that he must pay attention to the state around him.

The mayor's car has already appeared in the line of sight of the telescope. The chubby man in a white orthodox suit stepped out of the elongated black car, almost like a second penguin, the albino kind. Immediately after getting out of the car in the back was the special guest of the speech, Bruce Brown. Wayne.

As soon as the two of them appear in the public eye, the camera's flash still shows a tendency to bloom everywhere even during the day.

Jason wasn't interested in what the mayor was talking about, his attention was always focused on the crowd around him, on the rooftops around the plaza, on the windows on the surrounding floors, and on the police officers who had been assigned to do the security work.

Not far from the crowd, several guys with unusual behavior caught Jason's attention.

“... What are these guys doing? ”

Jason stared at the gathered guys, discussing something from time to time. They couldn't see their lips from Jason's point of view, and couldn't tell what they were talking about, but Jason recognized a man in the middle of the group, the two-faced man.

"The Two-Faced is here too?"

Jason hurriedly checked around, made sure he didn't see any trace of the two-faced man, and then pressed the communication device on his ear:

"The second person who found the Two-Faced Man, didn't see the Two-Faced Man, behind the big tree behind you to the right"

Bruce on the podium was raising his hand to signal to the crowd, as if inadvertently, he turned his head a little wider, just enough to sweep the tree that Jason was talking about.

Jason knew he had set his goal.

Bruce stood up and spoke, and Gothambaby's humor elicited laughter from the crowd, before returning the microphone to the mayor, the main character of the speech. Then he made an excuse and left the lecture site.

After a while, Jason's communicator heard Batman's unique voice:

"Robin, where did that guy go?"

Jason kept an eye on the guys, and the two-faced man didn't stay with the guys for too long, and left the stage quickly after speaking.

Jason followed him from the rooftop:

"I'm on top of him... Ah, he got into a black van."

Before Jason could finish his sentence, the target he was tracking got into a black van, and the car quickly drove away from the alley.

"I'm going to track him"

Batman's voice came out of the communicator again.

“.. What about me? ”

"You stay here and continue to watch"

“.. Okay"
