Chapter Ninety-Eight: You Never Been Here (Fifth Watch)
High-end detectives often only need the simplest way to get wanted.
Patrolling, along with searching Jonathan's tracks.
This is the only way Gordon and Harvey can think of to stop the Scarecrow from continuing to commit crimes, and the Scarecrow doesn't seem to want to get into a head-on confrontation with the Gotham Police Department if you ignore the two crazy officers last night.
But the results were still nothing.
In fact, Gordon didn't have any idea of catching Jonathan in his heart for a long time.
If that scarecrow was really Jonathan, and it was also from Levi's handwriting, it would be abnormal to be able to catch him so easily.
Didn't you see that for so long, he hadn't caught any tricks on Levi?
After a busy day, Gordon and Harvey, the two detectives, pulled over to the side of the road with some tiredness, intending to rest for a while.
Although the will is strong, the body does not allow it.
It's like just getting a second shot in a short period of time, no matter how exciting it is.
I didn't sleep all night last night, and today is a day, even Gotham singles out King Gordon, and he is a little lacking.
At this moment, a Rolls-Royce slowly drove from a distance, and the cars passing by along the way gave way, and there was no traffic jam at all.
Rolls-Royce slowly pulled to the back of the car where Gordon and the two were staying.
The door opened, and a short figure limped out of the car.
It was none other than the new King of Gotham, Kopot.
Perhaps because they were too tired, Gordon and Harvey, who were resting in the car, did not notice.
It wasn't until Copote, accompanied by Butch, walked to the window of the car and knocked on the co-pilot's window that Gordon and Harvey woke up suddenly!
When Gordon opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Copote's face, his first instinct was to reach for a gun at his waist.
The same goes for Harvey.
The nerves of the two people were so nervous by the "scarecrow".
"Wow, wow, don't be nervous." Seeing this, Copot hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Two police officers, I'm not here to trouble you, I'm just here to talk to you about cooperation."
Gordon and Harvey put down their guns.
In fact, there is no key change in the impression of Copote.
A police detective with a righteous heart, and a gang boss in Gotham, what can change!
It was because both of them saw through the rearview mirror a group of gangsters standing not far behind their cars, and they could be seen from under their bulging suits, they were all armed.
And the two of them only had two pistols.
Obviously, Cobot had no ill will towards them today, otherwise he would have taken advantage of the attack on them just now.
And they can't do anything with Cobot today, otherwise they will definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest in an instant.
So what else can be done?
Let's talk! Look at what exactly is sold in the Copote gourd.
"Copote, what the hell is the matter with you?" Gordon asked helplessly.
"That's right, Sheriff Gordon, as a good law-abiding citizen of Gotham, I think if I have some evidence of the perpetrators of criminals, I can provide them to the police, and the Gotham Police Department will definitely bring these crimes to justice, right?"
Gordon:......
For the words that Copote said were law-abiding and good citizens, Gordon could have listened to them as a fart.
Good citizen? That's Levi, no one can catch his evidence!
The evidence you have in Copote's current police station is enough to fill an entire filing cabinet, and I won't arrest you just because I can't arrest you now......
"You mean I want to help you deal with other gangsters in the underworld?" Gordon raised an eyebrow.
"It can be understood that way." Cobot smiled and said, "I just want those criminals to be punished by the law, and you can also get a chance to solve the case, win-win, okay?"
Gordon touched his chin, he wasn't that easy to fool
。
Although I don't know that Copote, as a gang boss, does not use the usual violent methods of the gangsters, but wants to use him as a policeman, but think about it with your ass, there must be something wrong.
"Yes, yes, but Copote, you'd better show your sincerity first, I want to ask you about one thing first."
Cobot disagreed.
"You say, if I knew, I'd tell you."
"Do you know where that scarecrow is?" Gordon thought for a moment and added, "Or where did the patient named Jonathan from Arkham Asylum go before?"
Hearing Gordon's words, especially the word Arkham Asylum, Copote's face immediately changed!
Immediately turned around and left, throwing only one sentence at Gordon.
"I don't know, Sheriff Gordon, if I haven't heard that, you've never been here."
As for the scarecrow that Gordon said, now the whole Gotham is in an uproar, and he is not deaf or blind, Copote naturally knows.
But just look at the scarecrow's modus operandi, and that kind of existence that is beyond common sense.
Cobot has no evidence, but he has ninety percent of the ...... No, 90% sure, it must have come from Arkham Asylum!
Only that place can be so extraordinary!
Don't say he doesn't know, things related to Arkham, even if he knows, he doesn't know!
Although I don't know why Dean Levi can still tolerate Gordon so much in the face of Gordon's repeated troubles, and let Gordon continue to live in this world, Copote will not feel that Arkham Asylum is not capable of killing Gordon or killing himself because of this.
I'm here to work with Gordon, not to die.
"Huh...... Wait, Colbert!"
In the end, Gordon did not hesitate to see Copote go, and still shouted to stop him.
"I agree to what you said about cooperation!"
Gordon knew that Colbert's purpose was definitely more than just telling him.
But so what.
It doesn't matter what his purpose is, as long as he can make Gotham better, Gordon doesn't care.
Anyway, the criminals in the underground world are arrested, and it is good that they can achieve their goals.
As for the rest, I'll talk about it later!
The last time he was in Arkham Asylum, Levi told him to look for evidence of the other officers in Gotham Police, but he still didn't have a clue.
Those police officers are all old fritters who have been in Gotham for more than ten years or a few years, and he is a detective who has only been here for less than a year, how can he find them so easily!
It's better to use the power of Copote.
"But I also have one condition, you need to provide me with evidence that the Gotham police officers colluded with the gang or participated in breaking the law."
Since the last time he was fired from the Gotham Police Department and transferred to Arkham Asylum, Gordon has figured things out.
Only magic can fight magic.
In the city of Gotham, only the power of crime can fight criminals.
Sometimes it is not entirely unacceptable to use some unjust forces to achieve righteous goals.
Cobot thought for a moment, a small smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll think about that."
Which of those gangsters who dare to disagree with them or disobey them does not have some connections in the police station as confidence?
These people are not their own people, and if they die, they will die, it doesn't matter.
After saying that, Copote didn't have a trace of nostalgia, turned around and left.
The purpose of his coming here had been achieved, and he did not dare to linger by Gordon's side.
The devil knows if Gordon will come up with some crazy idea of inviting him to attack Arkham Asylum in the next sentence.
It's scary......
