Chapter Ninety-Five: A Carnival (Second Watch)

The night passed.

Until the sky is completely bright, white-collar workers in the Upper East Side gradually step out of their homes and start a new day of migrant work.

Gordon and Harvey still got nothing.

Thankfully, there were no more homicides in the Upper East Side despite their overnight patrols.

It seems that the other party is not the kind of fanatic who unscrupulously confronts the police station head-on.

It was supposed to be a happy discovery.

Unfortunately, Gordon and Harvey were not happy at all.

They all know that in the whole of Gotham City, there is not only one living area like the Upper East Side, counting the Arkham District that has begun to invest in construction, there are six in total!

With the existing police force of the Gotham Police Department, it is definitely not enough to cover all of them and ensure night patrols.

If the scarecrow wants to continue to commit murder and create panic, it is not completely out of the ordinary.

Of course, this is just one of many bad scenarios.

The most important thing at the moment is undoubtedly the next media interview.

Witnesses to last night's murder in Easttown include, but are not limited to, numerous Gotham police officers and some residents of the Upper East Side.

***? Believe it or not, as soon as you announced***, the citizens of Gotham dared to surround your police station for a display of traditional skills at the instigation of some well-intentioned people?

As for not ***......

Gordon and Harvey were the top targets of the entire Upper East Side scene last night, and they were naturally the first targets for media interviews.

Just now, the director had personally called the two people, telling them that the front of the Gotham Police Station had been blocked by many media reporters, and asked the two to explain the situation truthfully.

"Man, how are we going to explain this to the media?" Gordon sat in the co-pilot, rubbing his eyebrows and complaining, "If you really tell the truth according to what the director said, I'm afraid Gotham will be going to fry soon!"

can make Gordon, a tough guy, complain like a resentful woman, and you can imagine the resentment in his heart.

"Or else?" Harvey was more relaxed, "Hey! Man, don't always put all the burden on yourself, you're just a police detective, since the chief told you to say it, you can tell the truth, the sky is falling and there is a tall one to hold up."

Gordon was somewhat silent.

At this time, he inexplicably thought of what Levi had said, and some other thoughts suddenly appeared in his heart.

Yes, I'm just a police detective, if I'm the chief......

Back in front of the police station, before Gordon and Harvey could park their cars.

The media reporters who were originally blocking in front of the police station swarmed up, and the cars of the two people surrounded them.

"Sheriff Gordon, may I ask the Gotham Police Department what clues do they have about the murder that happened last night on the Upper East Side?"

"Sheriff Gordon, what do you guess about the identity of the killer in the Upper East Side?"

"Sheriff Gordon, when will the Gotham Police Department be able to solve this case?"

「……」

Media reporters carried long guns and short cannons, crowded around the two's car.

It took a lot of effort for Gordon and Harvey to open the door and get out of the car.

Facing the long guns and short cannons in front of him, Gordon looked serious, took out a hard drive from his arms, and shook it at the media reporters.

"The truth you want is here, this is the surveillance video I brought back from the crime scene, I want to wait until we finish watching the surveillance footage before answering your questions."

Naturally, the media reporters have no opinion on this, and in the past, the police station would not have taken out the live video so easily!

Of course, they were also very curious about what really happened on the Upper East Side last night.

As one of the most well-informed industries, these journalists have naturally heard a lot of rumors before this.

What will move the scarecrow, the unspeakable nightmare and the like......

yes

, they collectively refer to these messages as rumors.

Are you telling horror stories that trick kids?

A scarecrow that can move!

Even the Gotham Beast, which has now been reduced to Gotham urban legends, is at least an organic lifeform!

How could a scarecrow move!

According to the speculation of these media reporters, the so-called moving scarecrow is most likely the murderer disguised as a scarecrow to commit murder.

This type of murder is not uncommon in Gotham.

But when the media reporters were present, they followed Gordon and Harvey into the police station.

And after "free viewing" of the on-site surveillance in the police station hall.

There was a dead silence in the hall of the police station.

"This ......" a reporter finally couldn't help but break the dead silence and said in a dry voice, "Sheriff Gordon, you must have taken the wrong video, what kind of horror movie is this?"

"No, it's not a horror movie, this is the scene surveillance of the murder in Dongcheng last night." Gordon said solemnly, "And, at the scene, we found a piece of evidence." ap.

As he spoke, Gordon pulled out a small evidence bag from his bosom.

It was that straw that was in the evidence bag!

"Gollum ......"

I don't know who made the sound of swallowing saliva, which was particularly harsh in the silent hall of the police station.

Now the reporters finally know why the Gotham Police Department showed them the live surveillance footage so unusually this time!

They still don't want to believe it's true.

But......

Whether it is the irrepressible look of fear on the faces of the officers in the hall of the police station, or the image in the surveillance video that is clear enough to see every straw on the other party's body, it all says one thing.

That's ......

It's true!

The murderer is really a scarecrow who can move!

A moving scarecrow has caused several murders in the Upper East Side overnight!

An inexplicable fear rose in the hearts of the reporters.

If it were placed on the other side of the ocean, it might not cause such a wide range of fear, and perhaps it would also arouse the interest of some foodie provinces.

Scarecrow? How to eat? Topics such as whether it will taste good when made into claypot rice......

But in Gotham and even in the entire beautiful country, it will make people who hear about it can't help but feel cold.

No way, there's really nothing to tell about the horror stories of childhood here.

The scarecrow was naturally also chosen as one of the childhood shadows.

If you still can't understand it, please refer to the old corpse of the childhood shadow mountain village - when Chu Renmei in the movie appeared in reality and randomly created several murders......

Except for some BTs who are really scared, the remaining 90% of them will probably be scared and tremble......

But!

After the fear, the hearts of the reporters suddenly became excited!

Oh, yes! Horror indeed!

But the more terrifying it is, the more it attracts the attention of the citizens.

For the media industry, attention is money, future!

Here's their chance!

Finally, under the leadership of a reporter, countless flashing lights were lit up one after another, turning the entire police station hall into a star out on the street.

It's a media!

An built on fear!
