Chapter 24 Requirements
The cordon set up by the police has already kept people out from afar, and in fact, there is no need for a cordon, as a standard Gotham citizen, in the face of this obviously tense atmosphere, they will never go up to join in the fun.
Gordon held his mobile phone in his hand, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and glanced at the top of the building with a tired face, but in the end he could only grit his teeth helplessly and turn into a sigh.
The exit of the building was blocked by several black cars, making it almost impossible for people outside to see inside, but even then he was able to guess what was going on inside.
The aftermath of a series of things last night has not yet been dealt with, and the news of Harvey Dante's death from the building has also reached his ears, after the death of the mayor and judge, and then the **** generated by the attack on the prison, he has some ability to bear it, but being able to bear it is not directly related to the torment in his heart, at least at this time he is very tired, but he has never had the idea of giving up on the city.
There are disappointments and confusions, but he has never given up, this is the goal of his life.
"How? Do you need Batman's help? Harvey, the old partner, walked over and asked with concern as he looked at Gordon's tired face.
"Looks like we're really rotten inside!" Gordon took off his somewhat blurry glasses, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the lenses, and looked up with emotion.
Old Harvey was silent, but he also had this feeling in his heart. He had joined the Gotham Police Department much earlier than Gordon, so he knew more, and the situation at the police department had been going on for a long time, but even he hadn't expected it to be like this.
And just last night, he finally saw it all!
The tragic death of the judge and the mayor also explained a lot of things, which made his heart still tremble, and even when he looked at his colleagues next to him, he couldn't help but bring a disgusting scrutinizing gaze, helplessness in his heart, and chills in his heart.
"Ugh." Gordon sighed and broke the silence, "That's all, this time we're not facing a simple character. ”
At this moment, the entrance to the building, which was closed from the inside, suddenly opened.
"Sir, someone has come out." A police officer ran over and shouted.
At the same time, the phone in Gordon's hand rang again with an abrupt ringtone.
Seeing the familiar number, Gordon answered the phone as he walked towards the building.
"Hey! Sheriff Gordon, it's me again. A flirtatious voice came, and Gordon's face was gloomy and exuding a chill.
"What the hell are you going to do?!"
"There's no need to worry about this, now I have a gift for you, well, calculate the time and it's estimated that it's almost delivered to you, as for my request, someone will tell you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the busy sound rang out, and Gordon didn't even have time to say anything more.
With a low curse, his steps couldn't help but speed up, and finally he ran straight up and ran towards the open entrance.
Seeing the gang of gangsters armed with guns, Gordon slowed down. Before he knew what the situation was, even if he was angry, he had to suppress it to avoid irritating this group of people and causing a tragedy.
Da ~ The sound of leather shoes falling to the ground came from inside the entrance, and then the gangsters, dressed in black, slowly retreated to the sides, making way for one person to pass through.
Click~
The footsteps sounded again, and finally, a familiar face appeared in front of Gordon, causing his eyes to widen slightly.
After letting the man out, the entrance was closed again, and although it was only two glass doors, the hostages on the building made it impossible for anyone to storm it.
"Alfred!" Seeing his familiar old friend, Gordon exclaimed and immediately walked over.
"Gordon, what that guy inside asked me to give you." Alfred said with an ugly look on his face, carrying a bag. That's when Gordon noticed the bag in Alfred's hand.
"What's that?" Gordon took it suspiciously, and was about to ask, when he suddenly felt a strange sensation coming from the palm of the hand dragging the bag, a slimy touch.
"This, what's in here?!" Gordon put down the bag, and the moment he saw the palm of his hand, his heart tightened, and then he opened the bag directly, revealing the contents inside.
Dense, of different sizes, come into view!
"Whew~" Alfred looked at Gordon, who was stunned for a moment, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fingers, no, it's the list." ”
"What list?" Old Harvey didn't know why, and asked after being slightly stunned.
"Ransom list." Alfred glanced at Gordon, then his gaze moved down, and landed on the bag he personally raised, and he couldn't help but shudder his teeth when he saw the dense things inside, but he still couldn't help but reach out and take out one of them, and said: "The hostages inside are not in danger for the time being, the man said that a group of hostages will be released later, but before that, he wants you to notify the families of the registered personnel according to the list to come up with a ransom of sufficient value, and no cash, just precious jewelry, gems and gold and other things, When the time comes, we will consider releasing the remaining hostages,
And that's the list! As he spoke, he flipped over the fingers that had congealed the blood in his hand, although it was originally bloody, the other side was still clean, but the side that he turned was a blur, dripping with blood, frowning slightly, Alfred finally reached out and wiped it, and then a vague name was revealed.
"It's ......"
Gordon clenched his fists and cursed with rage, and then lifted his bag, only this time he didn't drag it with his other hand.
"Give it to the police officers to count the list, and then notify their families." He said to old Harvey with a dark face, "In addition, ask the hospital to be ready to support here at any time, and rescue the hostages as soon as they are released." ”
Old Harvey took the bag, didn't say much, nodded solemnly and immediately moved.
"Ah Fu, go back and rest, I still have something to do."
……
"What do you need me to do?"
In the dark alley, a dark shadow walked out of it, and there was no sound.
Gordon looked at the black shadow, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Just do what you are good at, and after the hostages are released, you know what that bastard did." ”
The shadow was silent for a moment, then whispered in response, and then disappeared into the darkness again.
Gordon turned and walked out of the alley, looking up not far away, the building was still quiet, but below it was a large group of people who had gathered, and the noise and shouting had already become one.
"You must bring my family back safely!"
"My father is missing a finger, I'll sue you anyway!"
……
Listening to the angry roars of the hostages' families in those buildings, Gordon's face did not change in the slightest, and now he was in no mood to worry about this matter.
Soon, the entrance to the building opened again, but this time it was the gangsters who came out.
As requested, the relatives of the hostages who received the notice brought ransom, and although they despised the inefficiency of the Gotham Police Department, they despised the intelligence of the gangsters inside, at least in their opinion, these things would soon be able to be retrieved.
The ransom was collected, and soon a large group of hostages escaped from the mansion for the rest of their lives, exhausted but all happy.
At the same time, Gordon, those who had been notified, soon discovered that something was wrong, and an inevitable chaos ensued.
And this is enough to fish in troubled waters.
