Chapter 31: Lady Emma's Visit

"Damn!"

Gordon slammed his fist against the wall, he really knew that this incident would definitely involve too much of a scope, so it would cause a lot of pressure, and he was ready to poke things out even if he resigned.

He even did a good job of letting this matter be disposed of quietly in response to unwarranted pressure from above, he violated the basic confidentiality guidelines of the police, and directly leaked to some media people through some additional channels of interest.

It was indeed as he thought, and the incomplete and incomprehensible information was like a piece of fresh blood in the ocean, attracting the attention of those ubiquitous media people, occupying the headlines of all newspapers that day, causing a national sensation, and many celebrities, politicians, and influential people began to express their attention to the incident through various channels.

But what he didn't expect was that the upper echelons actually used the information already known by the media to treat the incident coldly.

Aside from the few who were caught red-handed and searched their homes and rescued a few children, not a word was said about the long list.

And he was forced to take a leave of absence by the upper echelons in the name of an unwarranted injury.

"Vacation fart!"

Looking through the window at the black sedan parked under his apartment, with a police officer from the Federal Police Department sitting on it, he was under house arrest.

Turn on the TV, and the person who temporarily took over his post on the TV channel is holding a press conference.

The post was indeed as he thought, and the police station received a call from the police and went to the relevant island to check, and it turned out that a pedophile club was found.

It is true that there is not much difference between the summary and the facts.

But just a slight difference in terminology is enough to direct the focus of media attention elsewhere.

The bastards, who downplayed the kids, instead went out of their way to publicize how the police rescued Bruce Wayne. Other than that, there is not a word about the ownership of the island.

But the media people are not vegetarians either, and they are quite aware of the issues that people are more concerned about in this case.

The reporter with the microphone with the Daily Planet logo was finally given the right to ask questions.

"I would like to ask, how many people have been involved in this case so far? As far as we know, it's not just a club, it's a children's auction."

The reporter from the Met pushed the glasses that covered most of his face and asked sharply.

“... I don't know where you got this news from, but the whole case is still under investigation."

"Excuse me, then, who owns that island?"

The reporter was unwilling to throw out another question that was deliberately concealed.

"We're sorry, but I don't have any comment on this at this time."

The spokesman avoided the reporter from the Daily Planet, and skillfully passed through his tall stature to hand over the right to ask questions to another female reporter behind him.

But it becomes difficult to get the topic back on track.

The reporters expressed strong dissatisfaction with the perfunctory answers of the police department, and kept asking sharply questions, but the answers they received were all standard answers of "the case is under in-depth investigation and there is no comment at present".

Occasionally, one or two paparazzi, who might have been inserted by the police themselves, asked about Bruce Wayne's condition and why he was caught up in the frivolous question, which was met with an official police answer. None of the journalists' questions were answered substantively.

The press conference was not so much a press conference as a smoke bomb released by the police to disrupt people's vision.............

"So Master Bruce, what are you going to do next?"

Alfred looked at the two cars on the surveillance screen that were being used for surveillance outside Wayne Manor.

Of course, after this kind of thing, it is not surprising that Gotham Baby needs to recuperate at home for a few days because he is too frightened, and the fire of those paparazzi has been attracted by the police, and even all the speeches of the public relations department of Wayne Enterprises must be reviewed by the police before they can be released to the public, and since the two cars outside the door will not be paparazzi, they are naturally from the police.

Don't get me wrong, this certainly isn't going to protect Bruce. Wayne's arrangement, although the police did make such a suggestion, the reason used was "to prevent fish from slipping through the net", which was stupid at first glance, and was rejected because the reason was too stupid, but this did not prevent the other party from using other methods to spy on Bruce. Wayne's movements.

In this incident, apart from the Sheriff Gordon who was placed under house arrest, there was only Bruce . Wayne is a man who has the right to know and the right to freedom. Some people are very worried that Bruce Wayne will accidentally reveal something.

"Will this incident be suppressed?"

Barbara asked a little unwillingly, after wasting so much effort, she could only send a few little minions to prison, plus the mastermind is dead and Chris is missing, I'm afraid it won't last long.

"Did you decipher the broken disk?"

The one who asked this question was Jason, who had been sitting on the sidelines and was silent.

"It was deciphered, it was a few recordings, most of which were Joseph. Lawrence and Himmler. Pisk's conversation, as well as scans of several documents and a video clip or two, are not complete, and the disk is badly damaged."

Barbara explained to Jason. Chris does seem to be planning to threaten Joseph with this. Lawrence, but these things don't mean anything to them now. Any evidence will be suppressed after it is submitted to the police, and judging from the actions of the above, the attitude towards this matter should be to deal with it coldly at present, and wait until the people have almost forgotten about this matter, and then find a scapegoat to carry everything down and then close the case..... Unless....... Hand it over to the media......

Bruce thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and dialed a call, then whispered something to the person on the other end of the line.

Alfred, after looking at the time on the computer, said after Bruce had finished the call:

"Master Bruce, please prepare, Lady Emma will come to visit"

The richest man in Gotham was so frightened, it is natural that many people will come to care for him, and even if he can't come to visit, he will inevitably send condolences through various ways. But... Lady Emma? Although Bruce has been in the social circle all year round, his relationship with Mrs. Emma should not be enough for Mrs. Emma to visit in person.

“...... I'm afraid it's not just here to visit...."

Barbara whispered as she watched Bruce and Alfred disappear into the elevator.
