Chapter 1662: No Time to Die (25)

The Joker called the police.

That's right, he almost crawled over the couch, ran to the side of the telephone desk, and used the old old telephone to dial the Gotham police station.

When Gordon rushed to the Joker's house, Spider-Man was holding a knife in one hand and pressing the Joker in the other, and the experienced sheriff couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock and yelled at Spider-Man.

"Spider-Man, what are you doing? Do you want to kill him?! ”

Seeing a circle of policemen holding guns pointing at him outside the door, Spider-Man immediately let go of his hand, then raised his hands and said to them, "Hey, you misunderstood, I just saw that the stubble on his face hadn't been repaired for a long time, but I didn't find a razor in his house, so I had to make do with this knife." ”

The Joker got up from the ground and rushed towards the farthest wall, hitting his head on it, turning around and pressing his hands tightly against the wall, then holding out a hand and pointing at Spider-Man and saying, "Take him away!! ”

Gordon put down the gun, looked at the Joker, then at Spider-Man, and then at the Joker, and he let out a long sigh before saying to Spider-Man, "Whatever you want to do, it's not right to break into someone's house with a knife." ”

"But I didn't break into someone's house with a knife, I ...... this knife in the kitchen."

"Okay, listen, Spider-Man, you come out first, have you asked Batman for his opinion on this matter?"

Spider-Man put the knife on the coffee table next to him, followed Gordon out the door, and said, "No, I didn't tell him, but I think he could have guessed it." ”

Gordon glanced back at Spider-Man, and on the Batcave's surveillance screen, it was Gordon who glanced at the camera.

Gordon called Spider-Man out and said, "Listen, kid, I know you might be angry at what the Joker did, but we can't arrest him without proof." ”

"And again, when he's not committing a crime, you can't assume he's a criminal and threaten him with a weapon, I'm sure Batman told you that, promise me not to get carried away by anger, okay?"

Gordon seemed very calm, obviously anticipating the current situation, which was basically the case for every Robin who had just joined the Bat Family.

After spending some time with Batman, Robins would come up with the idea that "maybe I can do better than Batman", and that's what some of the young cops in the Gotham Police Department think.

But Robin's reckless action to hunt down the criminals did not bring any results, first of all, they recklessly broke into the villain's stronghold and easily fell into the trap, even if they were strong in martial arts, but without evidence, the villain could call the police.

Gordon doesn't remember how many times he showed up in the Iceberg Restaurant to stop Robins from beating up the penguins, and the way Robin looked at him made him feel a tingle, as if he had become the vicious dog of the bad guys.

But that's not the case, can Gordon not know that the Penguins don't do good things? Could he not have known that there are countless illegal transactions in the Iceberg Restaurant? Could he not know that even if the penguin man was beaten and his skull bloomed, he deserved it?

But if he doesn't obey this little bit of apparent order, then the Penguins won't either, and the result is that illegal trade will no longer be confined to the Iceberg Restaurant, but will appear in every place where the collusion of officials and businessmen can reach, and will appear in the homes of every low-level people in Gotham.

When the time comes, even Batman will not be able to go door-to-door to investigate, or save every low-level person who is coerced by the ruling class.

Now Gotham is completely a poisonous flower rotten to the roots, and there are only a few conscientious people left who are constantly loosening the soil and removing insects, not to restore it to health, just to keep it from dying completely, but to live, and must live.

So in a sense, both Gordon and Batman are accomplices of Gotham's darkness, because they didn't choose to destroy Gotham, but to maintain the current situation as much as possible and make it degenerate more slowly.

Both of them have long seen this and have become indifferent to all the accusations related to it, which is the most important reason why Batman and Robin are at odds.

Robins often ask Batman two questions: "Why don't you work harder to save?" "If you can't save it, why don't you destroy it?" Batman never answered.

Robins often make a few messes: rush into the villains' homes and beat them up so that the police can clean up the aftermath; Recklessly stepping into the trap of the villain and sacrificing the police to the rescue, Gordon never complained.

Because both of them know very well that it is difficult and should not be said to a group of teenagers, you should see the reality clearly, accept the dark status quo, and strive to survive.

These are not the things that children should think about, and the almost utopian messianism in their minds is the most precious thing of the human race, and it should not be rudely destroyed, at least not at the hands of those close to them.

Therefore, all the intelligent and sober people in this city tacitly agreed not to answer any questions from this group of puzzled birds, and remained silent, forever silent, like Batman, like Gotham.

In Gordon's opinion, Spider-Man's break-into the Joker's house this time was just another fruitless and reckless attempt by this group of heroic birds, so he didn't say anything, just patted Spider-Man on the shoulder, and then left.

Two days later, the Joker stormed the Gotham police station, and he turned himself in.

Without waiting for the police to ask, he knew everything about the inside and outside of the house, and explained all his crimes.

"Sheriff Gordon, you have to trust me, I really want to help him." Spider-Man was about to die of grievance, and he grabbed Gordon's arm outside the police station and began to complain.

"I went to his house that day, and from the environment of his home, I found that he may not be in a good financial situation and is relatively poor, I thought it was caused by his poor work, so when he went out that day, I followed him."

"I had a spider sense that could predict danger, so I could feel that he didn't notice me, and I thought he was going to rob or kidnap or rob a bank or something, and he ended up doing odd jobs in a chemical dye factory where he dumped substandard sewage."

"Of course, this work is not very legal, but he does work very hard, because he is secretly dumping sewage, so he can't use the factory's big trucks, so he can only use small boxes to pull them to the beach, and then rely on manpower to dump them into the sea."

"He worked for five or six hours in such a hot weather, at least three or four trips, and of course he seemed to have intercepted some dangerous chemicals himself, but the owner of the factory deducted his wages......

Accompanied by Spider-Man's narration, Batman, who did not wear a bat suit and appeared in the Batcave monitoring room in the image of Bruce Wayne, recalled what happened two days ago with a slightly loveless expression.

In the darkness of the factory, only a small security room was lit, and two figures were tangling in front of the door of the security room, one of the slightly rich men shouted.

"It's twenty dollars! Do you love it! I really thought that if I made my face flowery, put on lipstick, and pretended to be that terrorist clown, I was afraid of you?! ”

"I'm telling you, even if the real clown comes, I'll blow his head off with a shotgun! That is, that sissy Batman will grind and chirp with him, don't fucking expect to scare Lao Tzu! ”

"Take the money and get out of here, I won't use it in the future, I am most annoying to you vampires who want money, get out!"

The two bills fell weakly, and the clown, dressed in a somewhat crumpled short-sleeved shirt, bent down to pick up the money, rubbed his nose, and flicked the banknote in his hand with his fingers.

When he turned around, in the Gotham night behind him, there was a figure crouching on the roof of the factory building, it was Spider-Man who had followed the Joker here.

Spider-Man frowned, staring at the scene below with a serious expression that he had never seen before, his eyes were more on the arrogant security guard, so he didn't see the evil smile on the corner of the Joker's mouth when he turned away.

If Batman is the greatest detective in the world, then the Joker is the world's most playful criminal, who is good at exploiting all the emotions of everyone.

Many people think that the Joker is the best at bringing out the dark side of people, but he is also very good at exploiting the bright side of people's hearts, and he knows that the righteous heart burning with the fire of anger will be a more hurtful bullet than evil if it goes off the rails.

From the first time I saw Spider-Man, the foreshadowing began.

The Joker is just a poor mentally ill man, in addition to fighting Batman, he still has to work hard, buy groceries and cook, and go hungry without the discounted goods in the supermarket, and he is just a poor ordinary person, who is forced by life to commit crimes - this is the first step to gaining recognition and gaining favor.

In addition to rebelling against Batman, he also abides by the rules of this society and works honestly, but as a result, he still has to be oppressed, what is wrong with the weak and poor ordinary people? It must be caused by the unfairness of this society! - This is the second step in clearing his crazy and cruel criminal experience.

The Joker knows very well that Batman's group of simple Robins, like all the heroes in this world, put a lot of emphasis on the facts, right is right and wrong is wrong, even if the criminals are oppressed, they should be stopped.

If it was the Robins of Batman in the past, they would have jumped off the building and punched the security guard by now, and after the security guard was put down, they would say to the Joker, "Even if you are a madman and a criminal, and you encounter injustice, I will not sit idly by, because I am a hero." ”

The clown will only laugh maniacally in his heart.

Yes, this vicious security guard often withheld the wages of the workers he found to dump sewage, but without him, even this kind of tiring and unprofitable work would not fall into the hands of those who were weak and could only do odd jobs, and the supervisor would only contract to relatives with whom he had a good relationship.

They're going to hate heroes, and the Joker thinks in between laughing that he can easily turn black and white upside down, play with people's hearts, but no one can stop him, not even Batman, because that's human nature.

But Spider-Man didn't jump off, and the Joker felt the burning anger in the child's heart from a distance of a few hundred meters.

But Spider-Man didn't jump off or punch the security guard, he just crouched quietly on the roof of the building and watched the farce.

It doesn't matter, Joker thought, Robin's intelligence is their disaster, and soon the simple bird will find out that Batman is not what he imagined, and so is the Joker.
