Chapter 37: Gotham Progress
"Remember what I told you about the Pact of St. Vangonza?" Carter groaned for a moment, then decided to tell Johnny part of the truth.
"Remember, what?" Johnny nodded. And Rosanne didn't know what they were talking about, but she still acted like a good baby.
"The Blackheart Demon wants to create a new hell, and he wants to achieve this goal, and the contract with thousands of souls is the fastest and most convenient way......" Carter glanced at Rosanne but did not shy away from it, anyway, these things are meaningless after the matter is over, and Roseanne will not be let go until the Blackheart Demon is killed.
As for Ying Ao? He wasn't interested in these things, the support of the Witcher's Guild had arrived, and he needed to go over and help set it up, and this was the decisive battlefield that had been decided by the Witcher.
In addition, last night's police action gave Ying Ao an excuse to knock on the bamboo bar of S.H.I.E.L.D., which has not cared about what happened in Texas because of too many things recently, and with the warning sent by the witcher, S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately sent Hawkeye to deal with the trouble caused by the police's 'nosy'.
and spent a lot of effort to destroy and requisition all kinds of materials, and finally came to the conclusion that the wrinkles on Nick's face were even more wrinkled.
He had heard of the Mammon incident, and this black-hearted demon incident was a wake-up call to S.H.I.E.L.D., because many high-level civilizations have the coordinates of the source star, so powerful 'princes' like Mammon and Blackheart Demon will be eyeing this mixed planet.
Last time, Mammon was solved by the Demon Hunter, and this time the Blackheart Demon is not more noble than Mammon, but it is more intelligent, and it is difficult to guarantee that the next demon or someone else who is eyeing the source star will be more difficult to deal with. Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to improve its strength as soon as possible.
Not to mention Ying Ao and the demon hunters, they set up the battlefield to prepare for the elimination of the black-hearted demons. Here in Gotham City, Lin and the other assassin have just been disciplined by Adelaide, although the assassin is not a bodyguard, but this mistake is indeed a bit serious: if something happens to Rachel, I'm afraid only God knows if Bruce will be completely blackened.
And Gordon returned to the police station to receive bad news: "The lawsuit is over, and no one dares to testify in court when both the judge and the police chief will be killed." Gordon's old subordinate said to Gordon.
"Is Dante okay?" Gordon's heart was cold when he heard this, had all such a long time of hard work been in vain?
"He should go to Mexico again if he has a little brain......" Before the officer could finish speaking, the door to the office hall was slammed open by Harvey.
Not long after Bruce fell asleep, Harvey and Rachel, who were personally cared for by Adelaide, left Bruce's apartment, and in order to increase the self-protection of the two, Bruce also ordered two sets of bulletproof clothes from the Continental Hotel in the middle of the night and sent them over.
"Liu, where is that garbage?" Harvey, who changed into a bulletproof suit and a self-defense pistol provided by the 'rival in love' Bruce, was in a very unhappy mood, so Harvey's tone when he rushed into the police station was not very good, and Harvey already knew that the judge and the police chief were assassinated at the same time, and the deaths of the two made Harvey even more angry.
Led by Gordon, Harvey carried body armor into an interrogation room heavily guarded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"You're going to go to court, and I want you to live long enough to record your confession." After agents opened the cell, which was temporarily made of bulletproof glass, Harvey threw the body armor to Liu.
"You can't protect me, you can't even protect yourself." Liu Ke was not as optimistic as Harvey, and he also knew about the assassination of the judge and the police chief.
Even the judge and the police chief received the lunch, and this was when the clown gave a death ultimatum in advance. Liu Ke does not think that the protection level of his witnesses can be higher than that of these two important people.
"If you refuse to cooperate, then you can't stay here, you have to go to jail. Calculate how long you can stay in it? Harvey has a way to convince Liu, and Liu still eats it.
There are only two choices in front of Liu, one, cooperate with the police to face the threat of the Joker, and if his luck is a little better, maybe he will survive; Second, they were sent to prison without cooperating with the police, but in prison...... Liu thought about it, if he went to prison, he might not last three days, not only because of the prisoners in the prison, but also because it was more convenient for the gangsters in the prison.
So Liu actually has only one choice, and Liu, who has figured it out, can only pray that this group of police officers can give a little force, and then put the body armor that Harvey threw over on his body.
Harvey led S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to escort Liu to the courtroom.
……
Gotham City Court, which reconvenes because of an order from Gordon and the Mayor.
Because the stakes are high: because of this case, even the police chief received a bento.
So the security level of the entire courtroom was raised to the maximum, and everyone was completely searched, and not even a pair of scissors could be brought into the courtroom.
After an extremely tedious examination, the jury and several defendants' representatives were seated, and Harvey and Liu entered the courtroom under the protection of the agents. But for some reason, the judge hasn't shown up yet.
Harvey nodded at Rachel and sat down in the prosecutor's seat, while Liu was escorted to the witness stand by four agents.
Didn't Gordon say someone would take over? Harvey looked at the empty bench and couldn't help but wonder, before he came, Gordon mysteriously told him that there was a surprise in the courtroom, but he didn't see that the surprise was there.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." At this point, Judge Celero appeared at the entrance, dressed in a judge's uniform and escorted by two Assassins.
"Judge Seriro?!" Suddenly the entire courtroom was filled with exclamations, and it was clear that most people thought that the judge had been killed by the clown's attack.
"Oh my God!" Rachel, who was also unaware, covered her mouth that Judge Seriro had been killed by a car bomb while Bruce was holding a banquet for Harvey, and no one expected that the judge would not die.
"Good fellow......" Harvey instantly understood what Gordon meant, and the surprise was Judge Cerero.
And compared with the surprise of Harvey and others, the faces of the representatives of the defendants were very bad: damn clown, didn't you say foolproof?!
"Sorry guys, I'm late because of some accidents." Judge Sereiro looked good, and walked straight past the jury to the judge's bench.
"Quiet! All stand up. The case was presided over by the Honourable Judge Cerero. The bailiff snorted to silence the courtroom, which had become noisy because of Judge Seriro's presence.
After the judge, the trial went on as usual, and the defendant's representatives in the dock were almost blackened.
