Chapter 113: Detective Merrody
At the end of the day, Dr. Jackson packed his things and got ready to return to his residence.
Arkham doctors are not allowed to go home because Arkham Island is far from most people's homes, so most of them have housing on the island. Arkham Island was once also a residential area for poor residents, and there are still a lot of usable residential houses left in it, which solves a lot of accommodation problems in Arkhamri.
Dr. Jackson locked the office door and left the building, stepping into the dark night sky. Arkham Island is a place where everyone is naturally scared, and the most daring people can't help but be affected by the atmosphere, so there are very few people who walk around the island after dark, only staff like doctors who rush to their homes after work.
The sparse number of passers-by provides some convenience.
"Ah~!"
Dr. Jefferson let out a long-lasting scream, and the whole person was hung upside down by a rope, and he was rapidly pulled up to the top floor of the office building, and the rapid ascent made him feel like his stomach was going to be turned out of his throat.
A strong hand held his ankle and hung him upside down on the edge of the top floor. He was a little dizzy, trying to see who was next to him backwards, but he was horrified to see two bat-shaped black shadows in the moonlight, a man and a woman, and the woman had long flaming red hair.
Dr. Jefferson quickly tried to calm down, but when you're head-down a few dozen meters above the ground, you don't mean you can calm down.
"Ferry? Jefferson. The man who was carrying him, that is, Roy, asked, "Tell me about roses?" Velisak's business, all things! β
"Huh? You ask her? She's just one of my many patients, nothing special."
Batgirl crouched down, leaned over to Jefferson's flustered face, and whispered, "Advice, it's better not to lie, this man's temper has been very irritable lately, and sometimes he may do things that he regrets himself, maybe the next second he loses patience and throws you down." So"
Dr. Jefferson grimaced: "But I really don't know anything, what do you want to know?" β
"There was a man who came to visit Velissac, twice." Roy raised his voice and asked, "But someone erased this person's record, that person is you, right?" Every time a patient meets with someone will generate a form with detailed information, and you cannot completely destroy the form's records, but you can access and tamper with the contents with your permission. I know it's you, because if it's someone of a higher rank, like the dean, you can just destroy the entire record instead of just erasing the visitor's name. Now the question is, why would you want to do that? β
The doctor bit his lip and looked away unconsciously, the sweat of gravity pulling down his cheeks.
He's hesitating, he's doing a psychological struggle. It's obvious that he's going to need someone to push him in the back and help him make a decision.
Roy let go of his hand.
"Ah~!"
Another series of screams that seemed to drain all the air in his lungs, and Dr. Jefferson only noticed that he was getting closer and closer to the ground, not realizing that he was slowing down. The zipline straightened his head less than two meters from the ground, then retracted, dragging him back.
Even if you know that the other person won't kill you, this kind of game is not something that anyone will want to play a second time.
Roy pulled him back by the collar this time, "Don't, challenge, mine, patience." β
It wasn't shouted very loudly, and the volume of face-to-face conversation was maintained, but it was transmitted through the voice changer processing, and with the dark mask in the moonlight, the effect was even more amazing.
"Okay, okay, someone paid me to do it!" He finally confessed, "And so is Velisac's recovery certificate, the same person who paid me to let me open it." β
"Who?"
"I don't know, he's always used a number that doesn't show me." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly added as if he was afraid that Roy would let go again, "But but, I know the identity of the person who came to see her!" It's a policeman, a policewoman, and her name seems to be Mai Mai Maddy."
Looking at the doctor racking her brains to recall, Batgirl reminded aloud: "Is it Melody? Detective McKenna? β
"Yes, yes, yes! That's her! The doctor said excitedly, "This policeman seems to be in the same group as the person who sent me the money, and they know each other." β
Roy glanced at the bat girl, didn't say anything, and then said to the doctor, "If we find out you're lying, we'll be back." β
With that, he knocked Dr. Jefferson unconscious with a single punch.
"Do you know that Merrody? Mckenna? Roy turned off the voice changer and asked in a real voice.
"Hmm." Batgirl thought for a moment and said, "When I was younger, my dad would sometimes take me to the police station. Detective McKenna was very nice to me, she was four or five years older than me, and we used to talk about girls. β
"So it's an old acquaintance of yours."
Batgirl looked up, looked at Roy with her blue jewel-like eyes, and pleaded, "If you want to talk to Detective McKenna, let Barbara?" Gordon go. If you know her, you will know that she is a very stubborn guy, and it is difficult to get any answers by torture and intimidation. And I don't want that. β
Roy looked at her face for a moment and nodded, "I see, you have ten minutes." If you can't convince her in ten minutes, we'll have to do the old way. β
Merrody? Detective McKenna's family lives near Hellington Park. The winged knight crouched in a tree in the park, using the telescopic function of his helmet to monitor her every move through the window of McKenna's house.
The detective was dark-skinned, not tall but muscular and powerful, and every movement exuded a man's determination.
The doorbell rang, and Merrody came to the door, opened it, and saw the eldest lady of the director's family standing in front of her door, looking like she had something on her mind.
"Xiaoba?" Merrody was pleasantly surprised, "Come on in." β
Barbara thanked her and sat down on the couch.
"I heard about your recovery." "It's just that I haven't been given a chance to see you, are you feeling okay?" β
"Good, thank you." Barbara replied politely, biting her soft lip and tangling it.
Merody asked, "What's wrong?" Xiaoba? Do you seem unhappy to be recovering from the problem of reintegration later? Or is it an emotional issue? You know, you can tell me anything. β
Barbara stared at her for a moment before she spoke, "Actually, I've been working with my roommate lately. What should you know, Roy? Green, your police department's detective advisor. β
"Oh, he, of course I do." McRody smiled lightly, "He's an incredible guy, and although he doesn't get along very well, you can learn a lot from him." β
Barbara took a deep breath: "We were investigating a vigilante called the 'Fallen Knight' recently"
With that, she quietly observed Detective Merlody's face, noticing that her expression had changed visibly instantly. This made her almost certain that Detective Merrody was connected to the Fallen Knight.
"We found one called Rose? Velisak guys. Barbara said, "We know you went to the asylum to see her, why?" Was it to convince her to join the ranks of the Fallen Knights? Or say"
She paused, and asked in a confused and worried tone, "Are you too, one of the 'stigmatizers'?" Mckenna? β
Detective Merrody was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "As a friend, I would like to warn you, Xiaoba, leave this matter alone." You are at the very center of danger, and if you sink too deep, there will be no one to save you. β
Barbara also said in a tough tone: "The Melody I am familiar with? McKenna wouldn't say anything like that. You've never been afraid of anyone, I know. Please, McKenna, tell me, are you in the league of the Fallen Knights? It's too late to look back now. β
Merody smiled wryly: "No, I've already dissociated myself from her." But it's too late."
At this time, Roy's hurried voice came from the communicator in Barbara's red-haired ear: "Barbara"
"Wait a minute, I'm almost there"
But the next moment, she understoodβwhat Roy was trying to tell her wasn't at all. Roy was trying to warn her.
With a "bang", the glass window shattered as if it had been hammered, and the black bat in the cloak broke through the window like a diver who had plunged into the water.
