Chapter 63: Lu Wu and the Joker

Rachel screamed and fell from the tall building, waving her hands helplessly as she tried to grab onto something.

Seeing this, Batman immediately gave up capturing the Joker and jumped out of the window with an arrow.

Even if it was a stranger who fell from the building, it was impossible to watch her fall to her death, not to mention that this was the woman he loved the most, so there was no need to think about it at all.

In the end, when Rachel was in despair, he successfully caught her.

Unfortunately, Batman was in a hurry and didn't carry parachutes or anything like that, so he could only hug Rachel tightly, and the two fell to the ground in a free-fall manner.

Fortunately, the bat's cloak made of special materials provided great cushioning for the two.

In the end, at the cost of smashing a car, the two landed safely.

Rachel is unscathed, Batman has multiple contusions and fractures on his body, and he uses himself as a pad to protect the woman in his arms.

However, this kind of injury is commonplace for Batman.

He asked angrily, "Are you okay?" ”

The woman looked at his deep eyes in shock, as if she remembered the days when the two fell in love.

"Don't have a next time."

But memories are memories after all, and Rachel, who has returned to reality, hurriedly asked:

"Is Harvey alright?"

Perhaps not aware of the woman's momentary mood change, Batman replied as usual: "He's fine, he's safe." ”

"Thank you." Rachel breathed a sigh of relief and politely thanked her.

Rising from the collapsed roof, the two seemed to have nothing to talk about, and returned to the venue in silence.

At this time, the Joker and Lu Wu had already left here, and Harvey was also released from the safe house by Ah Fu.

This Gotham's evil nemesis, pinching his waist, looked at the messy banquet hall and the injured guests, and his body trembled uncontrollably because of fear or anger.

"I swear that these thugs will be brought to justice!"

After venting, Harvey regained his former composure, and happened to see Batman and Rachel back together, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

He ran over quickly, hugged his girlfriend into his arms, and said with relief: "It's great to see that you're okay." ”

Rachel held his face, constantly comforting.

Looking at the two people who hugged each other tightly, Batman felt a little uncomfortable, so he silently turned around and prepared to leave.

Harvey suddenly stopped him: "Batman, thank you." ”

"I don't even know what to do without Rachel."

"Me too." Batman said a silent thought in his mind, and then walked out of the venue without looking back.

Looking at the lonely black back, Harvey's eyes were complicated, he had heard more than once in the past few days that Batman was Bruce Wayne.

And Bruce Wayne is his girlfriend's ex.

Rachel rested her head on Harvey's arms at this time, her eyes fixed on Batman, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Fortunately, this eerie atmosphere did not last long, and Director Gordon appeared in time to break the silence in the venue.

Seeing that Harvey and Rachel were standing there properly, the elderly director sat down on the chair next to him regardless of his image, panting heavily.

The elevator leading to the banquet hall in Wayne Building was destroyed by the Joker, and he had to climb the stairs to get up in order to rescue him in time.

After recovering a little, he asked, "Harvey, what are we going to do next?" ”

"The presiding judge and several lawmakers died at the hands of the clown, and many witnesses did not dare to appear in court to identify the gang leaders after hearing the news."

"There is a high probability that this lawsuit against the gang will not continue."

Perhaps it is because there have been too many things that have happened recently, so that Director Gordon, who has always been known for his iron fist, shows a trace of weakness and pessimism that he himself is not aware of.

The young and angry Harvey didn't think so: "As long as Liu is in our hands, there is still a chance." ”

"Director Gordon, you know, this guy surnamed Liu, as the white glove of those gangsters who launder money, he has all the Gotham gangster's money in his hands."

"If he is locked up in the police station for a day, those gangsters will not get any money for a day."

"A gang leader who has no money, will anyone listen to him?"

The director also reacted at this time, this Liu is their biggest witness and bargaining chip, and the evidence in this person's hand is enough to send the gang leaders to prison.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

The resolute Director Gordon pulled Harvey back to the police station, after all, the clown dared to kill even the presiding judge, and it was not difficult for him to rush into the police station and kill a prisoner.

Harvey also knew that the situation was urgent, and told Rachel to go back and get some rest first, and he and Gordon quickly rushed back to the police station.

Fortunately, the clown didn't seem to be interested in the surname Liu, and when the two returned to the police station, he was still in the detention cell.

On the other side, Bruce, who returned to the Bat Cave, took off his batsuit and discussed the clown with the butler Ah Fu.

He always felt that the gang leader went to cooperate with a villain like the Joker, which was a game that crossed the line.

But Ah Fu said that he was the one who crossed the line first, and if it wasn't for Bruce and Harvey working together to cornering these gangsters, they wouldn't have been able to find someone they didn't know at all.

The old butler then told Bruce a story.

To the effect that a gang of robbers robbed a batch of precious stones, but instead of selling them, they threw them away to children as toys.

After hearing this, Bruce asked puzzledly: "Then why did they rob it?" ”

Ah Fu, who is quite an old man, slowly explained: "Because he thinks it's fun." ”

"Some people are not naturally interested in logical things, such as money."

"For them, bribery, threats, inducements, negotiations, none of these things work, and these people want to see the world turn into hell."

"You mean the clown?" Bruce asked thoughtfully, staring at the clown's crazy smile on the computer screen.

"And what about the inner Graves?"

"Him?" Ah Fu smiled and said, "Although he is also nervous, but unlike the Joker, he should have come to Gotham with some kind of purpose." ”

"It's just that we don't know exactly what he's trying to do right now."

Bruce tapped his hand on the table, thought and said, "Based on the clues I found from the port before, it is very likely that he stole the reactor. ”

"And, Gordon and I interrogated that Andy Robbins, and it should be this Graves who really planned Arkham's escape."

Ah Fu, who heard the news for the first time, was a little surprised: "It seems that this person is not as rough and easy to understand as he looks on the outside." ”

Bruce nodded in agreement and joked, "It's like a human body with a soul that doesn't fit." ”

Ah Fu, who has a sense of humor, echoed at the same time: "It seems that God sometimes makes mistakes. ”

The two of them burst out laughing, diluting the solemn atmosphere for the time being, but when the laughter was over, the problem in front of them was still serious.
