A few days later, news of Falcone's assassination by Batman subsided.

The reporter who used to secretly photograph and publish news was shot in the back 18 times, but was identified as a suicide by the Gotham Police Department.

Bruce Wayne still spends his days hanging out in the beds of Gotham ladies, while Batman is out every night as usual.

Under pressure from Falcone, Captain Rogue gave the hapless Vice-Captain Gordon a death order.

"Catch that damn Batman for me, anyway!"

Gordon has been under more and more pressure lately, and sometimes he feels that even being a waiter is a hundred times better than working at the Gotham Police Department.

Whether it is the corrupt and radical style of his colleagues, or the grievances of being excluded, he is very tormented.

But for the sake of his wife Barbara and his soon-to-be-born child, he had to continue the job, after all, a waiter earns much less than the deputy captain of the police department.

The sky on Naho Island is darker than the rest of Gotham, and the city in the shadows exudes a squalid and decaying smell at every turn.

Gordon came to the Depp antique store with a depressed mood.

Pushing the door in, Gordon saw a robber with black stockings on his head, pointing a knife at Depp.

Gordon raised his pistol and shouted, "GCPD!" You've been arrested! ”

Handcuffing the robber's hands, Gordon made him crouch to the side and said, "Good thing I came in time, man." ”

Under the front desk that Gordon didn't see, the blue electric light condensed in Depp's hands slowly dissipated.

"Then I'm so lucky, why are you free to come to me today?" Depp asked.

Over this time, Depp and Gordon have become friends.

For this clear stream and future chief of the Gotham Police Department, Depp still has a good impression.

Gordon said with a melancholy expression: "You know, I've had a bad time lately, so I thought I'd come to you to see if there are any gadgets that can be transferred." ”

"Who knew that I saw you robbed when I first came, maybe my bad luck infected you."

Depp poured Gordon a cup of coffee and said, "Don't blame yourself too much, Gotham is in such a direction that it's good to be alive and well." ”

"You're right, this hellish place is really not for people, but there is no way, I still have Barbara and the soon-to-be-born little James to raise."

Depp said helplessly: "Sure enough, is marriage a man's grave?" ”

"Oh yes, you're here to buy a transporter."

Depp rummaged through the cabinet at the front desk and tossed a metal amulet with an unknown charm written on it to Gordon.

"Take this, maybe it will give you some luck."

Gordon took the amulet in his hand and looked at it carefully, and asked, "What kind of amulet is this, and what is there any explanation?" ”

Depp said: "It's just factory goods made in batches, but after my personal blessing, I'll charge you a cost price of one dollar." ”

"Hope it works." Gordon put a dollar on the table and took a sip of his coffee.

The coffee is mellow and smooth, and after savoring it, a faint sweetness emanates from the base of the tongue, and the sweetness of the previous sip blends with the bitterness of the new mouth, so that Gordon can't help but close his eyes and enjoy it carefully.

It's the finest coffee, and it's countless times better than your own cheap instant coffee!

Gordon didn't expect that Depp would always be able to give people a different surprise when he could drink such delicious coffee in the Gotham slum of Nai Ho Island.

Unlike Gordon, Depp couldn't get used to this thing, and he couldn't taste anything special, so he opened the thermos and took a sip of hot water.

At the same time, the door opened, and another customer entered.

"Hello, boss." Bruce Wayne said.

"Hello, Master Bruce, is there anything you need?" Depp added: "Once sold in our store, no returns will be made. ”

Bruce smiled when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to return the porcelain vase, I'm just passing by by to see an old friend." ”

Fuck you, old friend, you didn't say that the other night...

Depp casually took out another talisman and handed it to Bruce: "As a VIP customer of our store, I will give you a transfer talisman for free." ”

Bruce took the amulet, looked at James Gordon on the side, and asked knowingly, "Who is this?" ”

"This is the vice-captain of the Gotham Police Department, James Gordon." Depp introduced: "This is the heir to Wayne Enterprises, Master Bruce Wayne. ”

Gordon got up and shook hands with Bruce: "Hello, Mr. Bruce. ”

The famous first son of Gotham, Gordon has heard about it in various lace news, but even if he knows the identity of the other party, he is still neither humble nor arrogant.

Gordon is one such guy with excessive integrity and pride of his own.

"So you're Detective Gordon." Bruce shook hands and said, "I have long admired the name, I have long heard that you are the only conscience of the Gotham Police Department, but I didn't expect to see you today." ”

Gordon smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "The only conscience of the Gotham Police Department is nothing more than a poor creature who has been excluded. ”

"Stop talking about those unpleasant things." Depp tried to change the subject and said: "Have you seen the news of Falcone's assassination before? ”

"Batman?" Bruce asked, a hint of pride on his brow.

"That's right, it's that vigilante Batman, it is said that because of his appearance, the crime rate in Gotham has dropped during this time."

Gordon slammed the front desk when he heard this, and said depressedly: "Don't mention it, Captain Luo gave me a new mission last night, asking me to catch Batman no matter what method I use." ”

Depp said in a sympathetic tone: "That guy is elusive, but it's not easy to catch." Besides, he didn't do anything bad. ”

Actually, Batman is right next to you, and he already knows you want to catch him...

"And Detective Gordon, what do you think of Batman?" Bruce asked.

Gordon thought for a moment, sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't want to catch him. Gotham is rotten now, especially those bastards at the police department. While this shouldn't be a police officer's words, I sometimes feel that Batman's presence could make Gotham better. ”

Bruce smiled faintly when he heard this: "What about you?" Depp, do you think this city needs Batman? ”

Sure enough, it's young Bruce, who is still in a period where he needs to find a sense of identity.

"This city does need Batman, but..."Depp changed his words: "I need you more, Master Bruce." ”

"Need me more?" Bruce wondered.

Depp nodded, handed the steaming coffee to Bruce, and said: "Batman may be able to reduce the crime rate in this city, but to make this city better, it needs more, such as infrastructure construction, increasing jobs and people's income, and various charities, etc., to improve people's livelihood." ”

"It takes a lot of financial and material resources, and you, Master Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham City, only you can do all this."

"And the question is, would you like to?"
