Chapter 11: The Prisoner, Jim Gordon

Gordon and a few plainclothes police detectives arrived at the Bleiden Hotel, and at the parking lot they spotted a Ford sedan with blue stripes on a white background, and the license plate number was the same as the parking ticket found in the trash can of Galen's apartment.

The moment he saw the car, Gordon couldn't help but feel a pang of excitement in his heart - he had finally found this bastard.

Several people approached the hotel, showed their badges and asked the front desk for guest information. While waiting for an inquiry, Gordon leaned against the counter and looked down the hall, suddenly stunned like an electric shock.

The elevator door in the lobby slid open, and a white man who looked to be in his early forties stepped out with his hands in the pockets of his dark blue jeans. As he walked, he looked left and right, and soon met Jim Gordon's gaze.

In just a split second, they recognized each other.

Even after more than ten years, they recognize each other at a glance.

"Galen!" Gordon yelled, and the whole person immediately ran in the direction of the elevator. Several detectives in front of the counter were stunned for half a second, and then followed closely behind.

Jay Galen has been committing crimes for many years, and his reaction speed is not covered. The moment he realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly turned around and ran back to the elevator, and the elevator door didn't even have time to close. And when Gordon rushed to the elevator door, the elevator door was already closed.

This is the lobby, it's the first floor, and the elevator is still in the process of descending, so even if you escape into the elevator, Galen can only escape to the basement.

"Go underground!" Gordon immediately gave the order, and several detectives went straight underground through the fire ladder without stopping.

On the basement floor, the exit of the elevator is facing a large letter written in bright red letters "Idlers are not allowed to enter", and there is also a lightning-shaped danger sign. This is the power generation room, which is used for emergency power generation in the event of a power outage in the hotel.

The dark green door had been broken open, and Jay Galen had almost no doubt escaping into it. Chasing to this door, Gordon signaled several detectives to be careful, and each of them pulled out their guns and cautiously stepped into the forbidden land.

I don't know if it's because there are not many people in the basement, there are only a few lonely incandescent tubes in the huge space, and all kinds of tall equipment block a lot of light, making the whole room look particularly gloomy. In this space, the power generation equipment looks like a huge monster with strange shapes, waving its teeth and claws at everyone who comes here, and the appearance is hideous and terrifying.

Not knowing if there were any other exits to the basement, Gordon decided to have all the detectives split up to search for it in order to prevent the cunning creature from slipping away.

Gordon cautiously followed a dark path, his eyes behind the heavy frames of his glasses turned to the limit, trying not to miss the slightest movement.

As he turned around a corner, a black shadow appeared to flicker from the ground underneath a device on the opposite side, in what appeared to be the shape of an incandescent light casting a person's shadow onto the ground.

It couldn't be another detective, because Gordon knew that he was the only one on the search route. So that shadow must be the prey they were looking for.

Gordon held his breath, moving as lightly as he could, while moving as fast as he could. Gordon used to be a special forces officer before becoming a police officer when he was young, and his physical fitness and some skills are much better than ordinary police officers. His steps were like a night owl at the moment, and he didn't make the slightest sound when he walked.

When he turned around that corner, he pointed his gun in that direction, only to find it empty.

This is theoretically impossible, and based on Galen's movement speed, he will not have time to escape Gordon's vision before he reaches this corner, so where has he gone now?

Gordon looked around, his pupils closed, and he was surprised to find that Jay Galen was already standing on a console on the second floor of the power room, condescending, the pitch-black muzzle of the gun had been pointed at Gordon's old partner Harvey Bullock below, and the dim incandescent light outlined Galen's expression into a devil who smiled cruelly.

And Brock, too, is unaware of this!

"Be careful!"

Before he could shout, Gordon quickly raised his gun and fired at Galen.

Gordon's marksmanship is accurate and his hands are steady, which is well-known in the police department. Despite some haste, Gordon aimed at Galen's gun at the last moment, and he was sure that the shot would hit the opponent's pistol and complete the disarming.

But the truth is far beyond his expectations, and this accident can be said to be enough to ruin the legendary life of Jim Gordon, a heroic policeman.

The whistling bullet rushed out of Gordon's barrel and hit the pistol in Galen's hand with precision as it should have been, but the bullet passed through the gun strangely and shot behind Galen.

"Bang!"

The sound of bullets hitting hard objects made Gordon's pupils shrink suddenly.

Leaving a deep bullet hole, it reads "High Voltage Danger" and draws a shocking lightning bolt symbol. The blue arc was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, beating happily and releasing all its vitality.

Before he had time to think about what was going on, Gordon only had time to shout, "Get down, everybody!" ”

Flames rushed out from the leaking location, and the open flames of bullets rubbing against the metal shell ignited lightning, and demons that turned into flames rushed out. The first to bear the brunt was Jay Galen, who stood closest and was burned to ashes before he could even let out a terrible snort.

"Boom!"

Half an hour later, several detectives fled from the ground in a panic. The fire brigade arrived in time and had already started extinguishing the fire, followed by Forbes, the deputy chief of the Gotham Police Department.

"What's going on!? Gordon! Forbes yelled angrily.

"I don't know, I'm just" Gordon said a little dazed, "I saw that he had a gun in his hand, I saw that he wanted to shoot Harvey, I"

A detective cautiously said: "The surveillance video shows that the man was not carrying a gun, he was just trying to climb to the second floor to escape"

Gordon hugged his head with both hands and crumpled his neat hair into a mess: "I don't understand"

"Enough!" Forbes slammed, "You're saying you caused all this, aren't you?" Gordon? ”

Director Gordon hung his head weakly: "It's me." ”

Another detective whispered, "Detective Lane, he didn't make it out." ”

Forbes looked at Gordon sternly: "It's all your fault, you have to take responsibility, Gordon." Now, act like a director, at least while you're still there. ”

Gordon looked at Bullock, "Do what you have to do, old man. ”

His old partner snorted, "Don't even think about it, Jim." ”

"No, that's as it should be." "It's my responsibility," Gordon said. I made a mistake and that's it, and I have to take responsibility for it. As my oldest partner, if you really know me, you know what to do. ”

Brock stared at him for a long time, sighed, and showed his cold handcuffs.

"Director Jim Gordon, you have the right to remain silent, and every word you say now will be used as evidence in court."

Mayor Hardison opened the door to the mayor's office and found himself sitting in a chair.

Mayor Hardison frowned, but his intuition told him that the person who dared to swagger in his place must be not small, so he asked politely, "Sir, I think you have taken my place." ”

The man let out two dry laughs and said, "Hadison, do you remember me?" ”

The voice was indeed somewhat familiar, Mayor Hadison frowned, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "You are Falcone!?" ”

"Haha, remember me, you made a good impression on me." The swivel chair in the mayor's office turned, and Falcone turned around with his legs crossed and his chin folded.

A cold sweat began to break out on the top of Hadison's account: "Why are you back?" You're not already."

"Defeated?" Falcone shrugged, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and one defeat doesn't matter. It is important that "

He straightened up and asked, "Would you like to choose to be on my side again?" ”

Mayor Hadison hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth when he remembered the terrifying impression that Falcone had left on him when he covered the sky with one hand: "Of course, no matter when." ”

"Very well, that's what you're waiting for." Falcone leaned back triumphantly, "I was unprepared, I was caught off guard by Jim Gordon's stunned boy and the crazy bat that jumped out of costume, and then that stupid penguin took the opportunity to rebel against me. But this time, I was well prepared, and I had to slowly settle the old accounts one by one.

Jim Gordon is finished. Next, it was my dear little penguin and that hateful bat. ”
