Chapter 143: Jerome's Madness!

An explosion!

The surging air wave overturned the police explosion-proof car that had just used this street!

But fortunately, the police explosion-proof vehicle is transformed from a military explosion-proof vehicle, and the defense and various properties are very strong.

Although it was swept away by the blast, the hull of the vehicle was not damaged, and the police team sitting inside the armored car, as well as Gordon and others, were naturally not fatally injured.

This explosion, naturally, is Jerome's masterpiece.

After leaving the charity gala scene backstage, he left the street as fast as he could, and went to join Ethan, the bomberman, but all the movements on the street were under his surveillance.

Including the police squad that emptied all the invisible flowers it left in the background by means of fire covering.

In a sense, Gordon's previous backstage guess was correct.

Jerome didn't just place invisible flowers in the background, he placed a lot of them on this street, but the invisible flowers in other locations on this street were not used as bombs, but for monitoring the street.

Jerome hadn't forgotten what Levi had told him - don't kill Gordon.

So it wasn't until after the police department's armored car left the street that Jerome had Bomberman Ethan detonate the bomb.

Gordon can't be killed, so there's no problem with the others, right?

Jerome was on the roof of another street, listening to the deafening explosion and watching the fire rising in the distance, and he burst into a maniac laugh.

At this time, Jonathan the Riddler, Ian the Bomberman, and Jonathan the Scarecrow were all standing beside Jerome.

They were evacuated from the charity gala together, and naturally they were not separated.

Listening to Jerome's maniacal laughter, the faces of the three of them were a little helpless.

They do have all sorts of mental problems, such as Ian the Bomberman, who always wants to blow something up.

But when it comes to true madness, none of the three of them can compare to Jerome!

Jerome is really crazy!

Now that he had just left the charity gala, and Gordon and the other police officers did not continue to pursue him, Jerome could leave safely.

But he had to detonate the bomb.

There is no reason and no logic!

This is what other hero template carriers can't understand.

After all, with the exception of Jerome, they always had some kind of motive for committing crimes.

Pure madness!

He blew up the whole street just because he wanted to.

But I have to say that this unreasonable madness seems to be really......

It's cool!

After laughing, Jerome glanced again in the direction of the police station's blast car to confirm that Gordon was still alive, and then withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at the people around him.

"Let's talk about the next big move! I'm sure you've noticed that this time, in addition to the people from the Gotham Police Department, there is also an organization called the Tianyan Society......

On the other side, Gordon had just climbed out of the police station explosion-proof car that had overturned to the ground.

When Gordon struggled to kick the car door and get out of the explosion-proof car, he was stunned.

His mind was in a state of confusion, and he didn't understand what was going on.

He stood blankly in place, staring at the smoke billowing in the distant sky and the screeching sirens in his ears.

It took a while for Gordon to come to his senses.

He woke up like a dream, and quickly turned his head to look at the police station explosion-proof car behind him.

At this time, many police officers had come to their senses and were trying to climb out of the police car.

Gordon hurried forward to help.

After working for a while, the officers who were trapped in the explosion-proof car of the police station were all rescued from inside.

Thankfully, most of the officers were not injured, except for a slight shock when the police station blast car was overturned

, you can recover in a short time.

And the small number of injured police officers only suffered some minor abrasions or external injuries when the explosion-proof car rolled over, and it was not a major problem.

After all the officers were rescued from the police station's explosion-proof vehicle, the officers stood together and looked in the direction of the explosion in the distance.

At this time, the entire street where the charity edition was located was reduced to rubble.

Dead and wounded everywhere.

Those who were killed directly on this street were okay and did not experience any pain.

And some people who were close to the edge and survived the explosion, but were seriously injured, were miserable.

They can only wail in pain in the ruins.

Of course, the worst is actually those who are powerful.

They just wanted to brush up their prestige and show their faces at the charity gala by the way, but now there are no scum left.

If they can find the whole body, even if they are lucky.

Gordon and Harvey glanced at each other, and they always felt that this scene was familiar......

Isn't this the scene of the recent explosion of the chemical plant under the Wayne Group?

Don't think about it, this time in the bombing, the murderer must also be Jerome!

What Jerome just said is true!

That bomb vest of his could literally blow up an entire street!

Everyone who figured this out, including but not limited to the police officers at the scene, Chief Barnes and others were all happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, the bullet did not hit Jerome's vest just now, and fortunately, he listened to Gordon's advice just now and did not continue the pursuit.

But after rejoicing, they all knew that they were going to be busy again!

Wanted to capture Jerome, there is no doubt about it.

But let's be honest, Gordon doesn't have much confidence that he can catch Jerome right now.

However, Gordon has some hope in his heart, because although the whole street was blown up by Jerome today, Edward appeared at the charity gala!

I knew that at this time, Edward should be locked up in Arkham Asylum for psychiatric treatment!

Now I finally found Levi's flaw!

Gordon was ruthless in his heart, now he wanted to see what else Levi had to say!

At that moment, Gordon no longer hesitated, he asked Harvey and the team of police officers to deal with the scene left behind after the explosion, search the scene and rescue the injured.

The last time this work was done at Wayne Group's chemical plant, it was done

It's a familiar road.

Skillful makes people feel distressed......

As for himself, after arranging this side of the matter, he immediately rushed back to the Gotham Police Station as fast as he could!

He's going to call Director Barnes now and go with Levi for trouble!

Look at how Levi is quibbling this time!

Gordon returns to the Gotham Police Department and tells Chief Barnes what he thinks.

He did have the support of Director Barnes.

But what Gordon didn't expect was that when he offered to go to Arkham Asylum with Director Barnes, Director Barnes shook his head and rejected him.

"I'm not going, Gordon." Director Barnes said with a frown. "You can go yourself, if you can really get hold of Levi's incriminating evidence, then I will issue an arrest warrant for you, and you can also arrest him first......

Gordon saw that Director Barnes was full of sorrow, and he only thought that Director Barnes was worried about the relatives of the powerful people who died at the charity gala.

Those elites are really difficult to deal with, and they don't think about whether the Gotham Police Department is capable of saving those elites in that scene at that time.

They will only care that the Gotham Police Department's rescue operation has failed, and they are shooting at those who are dead!

Gordon understands Director Barnes' mood right now

He didn't say anything more, he just nodded silently to Chief Barnes, and then turned and left the police station for Arkham Asylum.

Gordon guessed right, Director Barnes was indeed worried about the revenge and trouble of the families of those powerful people.

But what worries him the most is not the revenge of the families of those powerful people, but ......

Amanda Waller, that woman!

On the phone just now, I clearly rejected Amanda's order!

Compared to Amanda's rebellion, the rebellion of those Gotham magnates is nothing at all.

As the "parachuted" director, Barnes naturally knew the situation.

According to the current situation of Gotham, no one in the entire Gotham should be willing to take over the position of police chief except himself.

Now that Gotham has just started the reconstruction plan, the position of the chief of the bureau will not make much money, and now that the law and order situation is so bad, the position of the chief of the Gotham police department is undoubtedly a hot potato, and even if it is not handled well, there may be a danger to life.

The local magnates in Gotham use their usual methods to squeeze themselves out, and I'm afraid that the councillors will not agree to take away their position as director, because no one will take over, and when the Gotham Police Department is paralyzed again, I am afraid that the law and order situation in Gotham will be even worse.

Therefore, the relatives of the "killed" magnates did not have to worry at all, and Barnes was only a little worried and no longer cared about it.

What worries Barnes the most is the attack from Amanda.

The Gotham-style magnates can't help themselves in this situation, but Amanda can!

Amanda can get out of the position of director with just one word!

Of course, Barnes wasn't the kind of person who coveted power.

He is worried about what will happen to the team of officers he brought with him once he is no longer the chief of the Gotham Police Department, and what kind of person will be the next chief of the Gotham Police Department......

During this time, Barnes has roughly figured out the rules of Gotham City, if someone else is the director, most of the others will bow their heads to the criminal forces of Gotham and compromise, there is no way, this is the way of survival in Gotham, not everyone is like him, no relatives, not afraid of threats......

Of course, Barnes has these worries, but he doesn't regret it at all.

Let him ensure his stability in this position by letting his subordinates die, and he will definitely not do it!

Now it's better to think about what Amanda should do if he were to attack him......

On the other side, Gordon came out of the Gotham police station and drove straight to Arkham Asylum in a police car.

According to his calculations, although he made a trip back to the Gotham Police Station halfway, his speed was very fast, and he drove the whole way, so he didn't delay too long.

If Edward the Riddler had just died in that explosion, then if it can be confirmed that Edward was not in Arkham Asylum, then this is ironclad evidence that Levi was involved in the crime! It is entirely provable that he let Edward the Riddler out!

On the scale of the explosion just now, the police armored vehicles on the edge of the explosion were overturned and scrapped, and naturally there were no vehicles available on the streets.

And if Edward the Riddler hadn't just survived the explosion, he wouldn't have been able to make it back on foot before he reached Arkham Asylum!

In this way, as long as Edward the Riddler is not there after he arrives at Arkham Asylum, it can be used as evidence of Levi's involvement in the crime!

Although Gordon has not yet arrived at Arkham Asylum, he can't think of any possibility of Levi turning the tables.

Even Gordon was already imagining the terrible look on Levi's face when he was taken back to the police station!

However, perhaps it was because Levi never showed his force value in front of Gordon, which made Gordon subconsciously ignore the possibility that Levi would resist his capture......

Whether it's Kada Ember the Dramatist, the Gotham Beast, or the gas man who only appears once, these are urban legends

Any existence, let alone relying on his own strength, even if he ties up the entire Gotham Police Department, may not be able to defeat it head-on......

When Gordon was smug after feeling Arkham Asylum.

The entire courtyard of Arkham Asylum was quiet, as if unaffected by any of the earth-shattering explosions.

This made Gordon feel more and more wrong!

You know, tonight's charity gala, before Jerome jumped out to commit the crime, Gellervin had already started building momentum several days in advance!

In addition, Galevin is the investor of the Gotham redevelopment plan, and it can definitely be said that everyone in the whole Gotham City knows about it!

The charity gala, which has attracted much attention, coupled with Jerome who suddenly jumped out, even those who don't have time to watch the live broadcast have put down other things in their hands and come to pay attention to the charity gala!

Not to mention the earth-shattering explosion that followed, the loud bang could be heard throughout Gotham City, as well as the sky-high flames!

You can see how wrong it must be that Arkham Asylum is so quiet now!

Wrong! 12 out of 10 is wrong!

Gordon's heart was wary.

Could it be that something happened on the Arkham Asylum side as well?

It's not that Gordon thinks something will happen to Levy, it's that every time he comes to Arkham Asylum in the past, something unexpected will happen.

Gordon pondered for a moment, parked the car in front of the Arkham asylum, and honked his horn.

Gordon looked in the direction of the top floor of Arkham Asylum and stared closely at the window of Levi's office.

Under his gaze, the lights in the dean's office soon came on.

Then a very familiar figure appeared at the window.

It's Dean Levi!

I saw Levi open the window with sleepy eyes and look in the direction of Gordon, he waved his hand in the direction of Gordon, indicating that he saw it, and then Levi's figure disappeared from the window.

When Levi reappeared, he had already stepped down from the dean's office on the top floor, and he was walking to the door of Arkham Asylum in his pajamas.

When he walked to the front of the courtyard gate, he saw Gordon sitting in the driver's seat of the police car, and then he showed a surprised expression.

"Sheriff Gordon? How are you? Is there anything you can do with me at such a late hour?" As he spoke, Levi couldn't help but yawn.

Gordon stepped out of the driver's seat and stared suspiciously at a sleepy-eyed Levi.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong!

Although Gordon's instincts told him that Levi's reaction was very wrong, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Ah, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm just done, I want to see Edward's treatment, and by the way, I want to make a return visit record to the police station."

As he spoke, Gordon's eyes remained fixed on Levi.

His request was very reasonable and in full compliance with the regulations, and Levi had absolutely no excuse to refuse Gordon's request for visitation. :

After all, unlike Jonathan at the beginning, Edward was sent to Arkham Asylum as a criminal.

And the police department has the right to supervise these mentally ill criminals sent in, as a matter of course!

If Levi refuses his request for visitation now, whether justified or not, then it will certainly mean that Edward is not in Arkham Asylum!

However, to Gordon's surprise, Levi just scratched his head, and then moved out of his seat.

"Alright, no problem, Sergeant Gordon, but it's too late, we'd better keep our voices quiet."

With that, Levi took the lead and walked towards the Arkham Asylum.

Looking at Levi's fearless expression and his back as he walked towards Arkham Asylum, Gordon's heart gradually began to feel a little less confident.

Could it be that Edward is really here?

But then, Gordon shook his head again and pressed the thought to death.

At that time, Edward personally admitted his identity at the charity gala, not only those who were at the charity gala, but almost all the Gotham people, including him and Director Barnes, saw it through the broadcast of the music TV!

As for whether it was Edward who rushed back to Arkham Asylum before he arrived?

Not at all!

You know, Gordon was speeding all the way here!

Well! It must be Dean Levi who is bluffing!

Gordon once again strengthened his conviction in his heart!

Wait a while to go up and meet Levi's so-called "Edward" and see how you can demolish him!

There was no nonsense between the two of them, and they followed Levi all the way to the third floor.

Edward's hospital room was on the third floor, which Gordon had known before.

But when Gordon came to the outside of Edward's hospital room and saw the figure sleeping soundly on the bed through the glass, his face was full of shock!

It's Edward!

Edward actually sleeping in Arkham Asylum?

But it shouldn't!

At that time, everyone saw Edward the Riddler personally admit his identity at the charity gala!

Gordon had some difficulty accepting what he saw, and he opened the door to the ward in a hurry, and walked in.

"Edward! Edward!" Gordon stepped forward and pushed the figure on the bed.

Edward, dressed in a striped hospital gown from Arkham Asylum, opened his eyes drowsy and looked a little confused in the eyes of the Gordon policeman.

"Huh? Gordon? What are you doing here? What's the matter?"

Gordon's face was ugly.

But he didn't take his anger out on Edward, he just shook his head at Edward.

"It's okay, I'm just here to see you, you can go back to sleep."

Then he lowered his head and walked out of the ward with a gloomy face.

Levi shrugged at Edward and left the room after Gordon.

"Dean Levi, what the hell is going on! Everyone saw it, Edward was there at the charity gala!"
