Chapter 405: The Insider
Wayne Manor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kassandra was taken to her room, where Alfred, the family's surgeon, was operating on her to remove bullets.
Outside the door, Barbara asks Roy, "How is this happening?" This kid ...... It's probably impossible to get hit. ”
"It was like that." Roy said lightly, "But she took a shot for Director Gordon." ”
Barbara couldn't help but let out a "whoa".
"Don't worry, that guy is already mine." Roy said, "I'll catch him." ”
At that moment, Alfred pushed the door open.
"Miss Cain's condition has largely stabilized." Alfred said, "I may have to sleep for a while now because of the effect of the anesthetic, but it is good to rest for a while, it is not a very serious problem." ”
"Thank you, Ah Fu." Roy Road.
Alfred waved his hand, "Always available, Mr. Green." If there's anything else you need, just rattle the bell, I can hear it. ”
With that, he disappeared to the other end of the corridor.
Roy and Barbara pushed the door open and entered the room. The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and Kassandra lay unconscious on the bed with her eyes closed, her arms covered in bandages. Her breathing was even and steady, and it really didn't seem to be a big deal.
"This kid is really trying." Standing at the head of the bed, Barbara suddenly said, "She's been trying very hard to fit in with us, desperately trying to prove herself...... What a foolishness, she always didn't seem to think that she was one of us. ”
Roy was silent.
But she never wanted to talk about her past. Yes, we all know that she was raised by a top killer, but since that time the Joker ...... Well, it just feels like she still hasn't said anything. Barbara glanced at Roy, "Do you know what, Detective?" About Kassan's past? ”
Roy's eyes flickered for a moment.
"Nope." He shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
Barbara chuckled, "You lied to others, but I guess I'm just too familiar with you." ”
Roy glanced back at her helplessly.
"Well, I do." "But everyone has secrets they don't want to tell, and maybe Kashan just doesn't want to be dragged down by her past." I choose to respect her. ”
"I can't see when you've been so understanding. So what are you hiding from me? ”
Roy turned his head and looked straight into her clear, jewel-like eyes.
"Nope." He said.
Barbara inexplicably felt an awkward sensation in the atmosphere.
"Hmm...... Ah, that sister will believe that you are good this time...... Hmmm......"
Roy said coldly: "That 'third person'...... He knew that Bruce had the idea of choosing me to take Batman's place. ”
"Huh?"
"Do you know anyone who has mentioned this to anyone else?"
Barbara was stunned, and then said, "Dick mentioned it to my father on the roof of the Gotham police station not long ago, but ......"
"Hey, it's the long mouth." Roy said, heading out the door, "I'm going back to see the Director now, and Kasan is here to stay." ”
Gotham Police Station, top floor.
Director Gordon was still wounded, but he stubbornly refused to go to the hospital for a check-up, and stood alone by the giant searchlight on the roof, lighting a cigarette.
"I thought you were quitting smoking, Director, it's not good for your daughter to see it."
A deep, deep voice came from the shadows behind him, and Roy appeared on the top floor without knowing it, and walked out.
Director Gordon didn't look back, and smiled lightly: "At this time, what is there to care about such a trivial matter?" Maybe tomorrow I'll have to be blown to ashes like so many unfortunate police officers these days, so what's the point of quitting smoking? ”
Roy was silent for a moment, then said, "Everything will pass, Director." ”
"You know, every time I used to do this, there was always someone who said that to me." Gordon smiled sadly, "And now, this man is in the ground." So I'm not so sure anymore. ”
After a long sigh, he turned to ask, "Well, you said there was a problem?" ”
"Of course." Roy said, "First of all, this lamp. ”
He pointed to the Winged Knight's searchlight on the top floor.
Gordon shrugged, "We have one of yours and one of Nightwing, both of which will be used in an emergency. After all...... You know, now that we've lost Batman, and the city is in such a situation where we're running out of staff every day, we might need your help in a pinch. However, we haven't used this lamp yet, so only some people in the police station know about it. ”
"But that knockoff 'Batman' knows." Roy said, "Besides, he knew that Batman had meant to let me take over his cape. I heard Nightwing mentioned this to you? ”
Gordon nodded, "Yes." But we were talking on the top floor of the police station that was blown out yesterday, and no one should have heard it except me and him. ”
"You're saying you didn't find out." "Maybe he's hiding behind the door in the stairwell, or somewhere else eavesdropping on your conversation." ”
"It's also possible." Gordon said, then asked, "You said 'third man,' the same thing Detective Faith said when he saw that guy." Looks like you know something? ”
"Just a clue." Roy said, "Do you know of a project that the military and the Gotham Police Department worked on a few years ago? ”
Gordon frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I've heard a little. If I'm not mistaken, I had a lot of family affairs to deal with during that period, so the affairs of that period were all handled by Deputy Chief Vane. ”
"Vane is dead now." Roy said, "The content related to that project in the database has basically been cleaned up, but fortunately Batman has a habit of building his own database, so I still pieced together a rough idea of what happened back then." Batman received an invitation to volunteer for the project, and his motivation is currently unknown, but it is said to be an unpleasant memory for him. Recently, after Batman's death, three of his shoddy knockoffs have gone into action, and all three seem to have been police officers at once. I now believe that all of this is related to that project six years ago. ”
"When the 'third person' came to the police station, Detective Feith seemed to recognize him, and it seems that Detective Feith was also the one who was involved back then. But it's a pity that just a while ago, Detective Faith ate a bullet from that guy, and now he is unconscious in the hospital, so I'm afraid he won't be able to help much. But he also mentioned a name...... Farrell is also a veteran detective at the police station. Listening to his tone, perhaps Detective Farrell was also one of the participants back then. ”
Roy frowned slightly: "I have always focused on the retired police officers who were in the police force six years ago, but I have ignored the possibility that there are still people in the know among the active police officers in the police department...... Where is Detective Farrell? ”
"Can't be reached." Gordon shook his head and said, "I can give you his address, though." (To be continued.) )
