30. The Continuing Gotham Nightmare [29/100]
The next few days were calm, and it was doubtful that Gotham would have made it through the worst of times.
But only a small number of people know that a group of madmen are hiding in the city, in the darkness, he is smiling, plotting his own evil cause, no one knows who his next bullet will be aimed at, but at least for now, they are safe.
Some of the embarrassed Maloney and Woolz and the rest of the gangsters came out of prison, they had money, these days, money basically has everything, but even if they spend a huge amount of bail to get themselves out, they have become alone, although there are still younger brothers to drive, but unfortunately, the most vicious and capable people have been put in prison, as long as Harvey Dent's accusations are not over, they will not want to come out.
8 bigwigs, you look at me, I look at you, and then quietly left in the car, even if the strength was seriously damaged, their business still had to go on, and ten minutes later, the only bigwig Todd who was rooted in the central city returned home with a full body of exhaustion.
It was a luxurious apartment, probably because the carnage set off by the Red Devil had frightened everyone, so no matter where Todd went, he was accompanied by four loyal, heavily armed younger brothers.
But as they entered the house, they smelled cigars, and when Todd turned around, he saw a figure sitting with his back to him on his luxuriously decorated sofa, and he could see no face, only fingers sticking out of the sofa with cigars between them.
"Who are you, how dare you break into here!"
The anger from the humiliation that Todd endured in prison burst forth at this moment, and his younger brother also drew his gun, and the next moment, the guy in the black trench coat stood up, he held a black straight-edged knife with a sheath in his hand, and turned around, and what met the eyes of the five people was a mottled, slightly broken, twisted ghost face with three charred black claw marks on it.
"Hello, Todd Jefferson, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
After an oblique moment, Gordon received a call.
"I'm sorry, Director, but Todd is dead, in his house. β
"What?"
A trace of pain flashed on Gordon's face, he had roughly guessed what had happened, but what had to be done still had to be done, he breathed a sigh of relief and put down the phone,
"Robin!"
"Robin?"
The office door was pushed open, and a brown-skinned policewoman asked,
"Chief, is there anything going on? Officer Robin took a 10-day long leave that you personally approved. β
"Oh. Yes, I forgot. β
Gordon patted his head, and in recent times, the white hair on his head had been hiding at a visible rate, and he looked much older, and while taking his clothes, he said to the policewoman,
"Sheriff Naramirez, I'll leave the police station to you, I'll go out. β
He looked left and right and lowered his voice, "Look out for that bastard!"
"Well, I see, Director. β
Ramirez's eyes flashed with determination, "I'll take a good look at him." β
Thanks to the poor traffic in Gotham, Gordon arrived at the scene of the crime 10 minutes later, and as soon as he entered Todd's house, he saw the body in the shape of a large character with four knives stabbed in the wall.
It was Todd next to the corpse, and a line of blood characters occupied almost half of the wall.
βBlood ill have Bloodβ
"Blood Debt and Blood Repayment"
Gordon muttered to himself, and at this moment, the phone in his hand jumped,
"Didi, Didi"
"Hey, Rachel, what's the matter?"
"Gordon, the evidence room of the prosecutor's office has been burglarized"
There was an undisguised gloom in Rachel's voice, "Cyber took his stuff. β
"I already know it, I see it. β
Gordon hung up the phone as if he had lost his soul, but within 5 minutes, his phone rang again,
"Director Albert, dead. β
Albert is another gang leader, and less than 2 of Todd's murders, only 6 of the 8 gang leaders who have just been released remain.
Cyber did not appear as the red devil again, but Gordon found that when he became an ordinary person, his lethality and deterrence were almost magnified by more than 10 times, like a drop of venom, melted into the lake, and no one wanted to catch it.
And now it seems that Cyber's idea is very clear, at least until all the gang leaders in the city die, he will not stop, just like a hunter who has set up a hunting ground, very patiently waiting for his prey to enter the net.
And Gordon, like a forest ranger who was extremely disgusted, but wanted to protect those prey, but could not do anything, could only watch this happen, his fists clenched, looking at Todd's corpse being shouted from the wall, he felt it, powerless.
"Back to Jail"
Gordon muttered to himself.
"What?"
The detective who followed him asked curiously, and saw Gordon roaring like an angry lion at this moment,
"Call those damn gangsters, if they don't want to die, just get me back to jail and only there, they'll be safe. β
The detective had never seen the chief so angry, he resigned himself to the call, and then Gordon's cell phone rang again, and he angrily clasped it to his ear,
"Hell, who's dead again?"
"Gordon came back, Miriz was injured, and the Joker ran away!"
"Poof"
Gordon felt a fishy smell welling up his throat, he felt everything in front of him on the chair, on the wall, on the bloodstains, on the ground, it was like an earthquake, he felt like he couldn't breathe, but the moment he tried to hold on to the wall, everything in his vision fell down.
It was as if the whole world had collapsed in an instant.
"Bang"
The busy police officers turned around and saw their chief fall to the ground, and in an instant, the entire crime scene was in chaos.
"Tsk, poor Gordon"
Cyber looked at the interstitial news on the TV hanging on the wall, and saw the news that Gordon had been sent directly to Gotham Hospital, he smiled, picked up the popcorn next to the bed heartlessly, changed to a movie, and watched it with taste, judging from the surrounding furnishings, he used it in a luxurious hotel.
Cyber's villa has been empty, since you want to be a spectator, you must learn to hide your identity, which is simply familiar to Cyber, after eating the popcorn, he pursed his lips, opened a bottle of wine in the wine cabinet, and shrugged his shoulders at the two men and women who were tied to the corner, only wearing pajamas, looking frightened, and their faces covered with white cloths,
"Don't worry, sir and girl, I'm just borrowing your room, and tomorrow morning, you'll be free"
As he spoke, he yawned,
"Ah, I'm so tired, let me get some sleep. β
Poor Gordon didn't stay in the hospital for more than 2 days, and the next afternoon, a phone call went straight to the hospital,
"Excuse me, is dear Mr. Gordon here?"
Gordon's wife picked up the phone, she didn't recognize the voice, but she said politely,
"I'm sorry, he's not going to answer the phone right now, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Uh, Mrs. Gordon, I just wanted to apologize to my good friend Director Gordon, I'm his friend Joker, and I want to say, you're so cute, what's her name? Barbara?"
The somewhat magnetic voice became stubborn, and Gordon, whose face changed drastically, snatched the phone and shouted,
"What does the clown want to do, stay away from my family!"
"Tsk, listen to this angry voice, listen to this irascible tone, you really make me feel sad, my Gordon, didn't we have a good time before?"
In the dimly lit room, the clown was playing with the pistol in his hand, he was laughing, the white oil paint on his face was jumping, and the terrible scar on the corner of his mouth was beating even more hideously, and opposite him were two police officers tied to chairs, their mouths covered by towels, and the table in front of them was piled with all kinds of playing cards.
The clown looked at this arrangement with satisfaction, and he snorted lightly,
"Don't worry, the filial son who will cry and make trouble is the most annoying, I just want to play a game with you, we all like games, don't we?"
He paused, tucked his phone between his cheeks and shoulders, and fiddled with the pistol in his hand with both hands,
"If Batman doesn't take off his mask for a day, Gotham will die every day, I did the math, I missed about 2 days, so today I'm going to make up what I owe, by the way, 126 Orchard Street, Harvey Dent, he's here. β
With that, he threw his phone aside and raised the muzzle of the gun.
"Why are you so serious~ Come on, smile. β
"Joker!"
"Bang Bang"
The last thing that came from Gordon's phone was two gunshots, and the whimper before the person died, it seemed to be gagged, there was a busy tone on the phone, Gordon's hands were trembling, he gritted his teeth, reached out and patted the worried Mrs. Gordon, "You take Barbara to Star City, go to Lance, I will let Ramirez arrange it for you and the children, I don't feel at ease if you continue to stay in Gotham, here, it's not safe." β
Twenty-five minutes later, Gordon walked into the room, it was dark, the smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, the wires in the house had been completely cut, Gordon was wearing gloves and turned the two corpses over, their faces painted clown-like, twisted, hideous, and their identities could be identified just by the coats they were wearing.
"It's the employees of the government and our police officers, they're trading in drug X really scandal!"
Ramirez, who was a little pale, said angrily, and the white powder that had been placed at their feet, sprinkled all over the ground, barely had to look to know what it was.
She distinguished their appearance a little, and found that there was no way to tell the difference, the policewoman was stabbed in the abdomen by a clown, but she insisted on going to work, on the one hand, there was also a lack of police force, and the gangsters in the prison had been unusually cooperative recently, and more people were arrested, and the police were almost all sent to maintain law and order.
She reached out and struggled to pull out the ID cards on their chests, then read them softly,
Richard Dent
Patrick Harvey
"Harvey Dent, that madman, he hasn't given up on Harvey yet. β
Ramirez breathed a little painfully, and then saw Gordon's face solemn, and he reached out and took out the newspaper that was pressed under the bottle, and the newspaper was turned to the obituary bar, with a photo that made Gordon shudder, and a line of words written in a clumsy pen.
"Mr. Anthony Nestor, aged 46"
"It's the mayor, and his next target is the mayor, a madman!"
Before Gordon's words fell, Ramirez's expression stiffened,
"Director, tomorrow is the memorial service for Director Lauber, and the mayor and the dignitaries of the city hall will attend, do you think he will?"
"But tomorrow there are 300 police representatives from all over Gotham City"
Gordon took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Unless he's crazy, there's no way he's going to sneak in and attack." β
"Don't leave anything to chance, Mr. Director. β
A deep voice sounded by the window, Ramirez immediately drew his pistol, and saw the guy in black armor and black cloak, his movements were a little stiff, he said,
"You and I both know how crazy he is, he will always surprise the location, for such a guy, we can't judge with ordinary people's thinking, so if I were you, I would act with my heart. β
He walked over to the two bodies, "I need 10 minutes before you come." β
"If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have died!"
Ramirez suddenly spoke, "His target has always been you!"
"Alright, Sheriff!
Gordon's voice made Ramirez stop arguing, she swayed and walked out, when only Gordon and Bruce were left in the room, Gordon was not holding on, he leaned against the wall, looked at the two corpses, and said with some bitterness,
"I want to stop him with the law, but I ignore that in this city, before Harvey came, there was no law at all, there was no justice, hell, I don't really know who else I can trust in that police station now The gangsters have been driven crazy by Cyber and they gave all their resources to that madman... The Joker's escape was not accidental. β
"I overestimated myself, I underestimated him. β
