Chapter 252: The Burnt Gotham Police Department
These news outlets in Gotham City have exaggerated their headlines one by one!
But there are undoubtedly exceptions, and in the absence of solid evidence, these headlines are invariably rhetorical questions.
But for the people of Gotham City, even if they see the news and use the title of the rhetorical question, they will subconsciously understand the content of the rhetorical question as evidence that has been hammered.
But for the Gotham Police Department, they are helpless.
After all, the news that people put out in the newspaper is just speculation, and you can't just go to trouble people because they speculate about a certain possibility, right?
So as soon as the latest issues of the newspaper were sent out by these news outlets, Gordon saw the news as soon as he could.
Gordon is also well aware of the impact of public opinion on the news.
However, there was still nothing he could do.
Or rather, his focus now is on something else.
That is, Jerome who reappeared not long ago intercepted his brother Jerome, what will the two brothers do next in Gotham?
According to the personalities of these two brothers, I am afraid that in the next short time, Gotham City will have another turmoil!
And not only that, Jerome was robbed by Jerome, and the public opinion pressure brought by the news was too great, coupled with the appearance of the predecessor Barnes, which caused the news and public opinion pressure.
Gordon has never hated the news media so much as he does now.
Because under the pressure and pressure of these news media, there is really not much time left for him!
He has to give an account of the past to the many Gotham citizens in a short period of time!
Therefore, after Sergeant Gordon made sure that Barnes was not in any danger for the time being, he could only let Barnes move freely, and did not send police to continue to track down Barnes's traces.
Gordon shifted his focus to the task of tracking down the two brothers, Jerome and Jeromer.
He shrunk all other forces that weren't necessary, and sent all of them out to find Jerome and Jerome.
The first target Gordon suspects is the Arkham Asylum.
It's not that Gordon has any prejudice against Arkham Asylum.
Rather, it is inferred from the archival materials of Jerome and Jerome.
Although the two brothers are brothers of the same mother, because of what happened to them in childhood, the two did not have many similar experiences in their lives except for the same experiences in the circus when they were young.
Only after they embarked on the path of crime, they all entered the Arkham asylum and received psychiatric treatment.
This left Gordon with no way to suspect Arkham Asylum.
Even though there was no evidence, Gordon, in his capacity as the current acting commissioner, submitted a search request to the city hall.
If it were any other ordinary place, Gordon, as the current acting director, would have the right to issue a search warrant directly.
Arkham Asylum is one of the few locations where Gordon, currently the chief of the Gotham Police Department, does not have the authority to issue a search warrant directly.
The Black Gate Prison is also one of these locations, as both Arkham Asylum and the Black Gate have one thing in common: they are both the only designated partners of Gotham City Hall in certain government accessibility functions.
So according to the process, if the Gotham Police Department wants to launch a search of Arkham Asylum, the search warrant must be approved by the Gotham City Hall.
However, after submitting the search warrant according to the normal process, Gordon did not wait stupidly.
He is now very familiar with the various forces in Gotham City, and naturally knows that although Arkham Asylum does not have any political identity on the surface, in fact, Arkham Asylum's status in Gotham City is very delicate.
Whether it is a government official or an overlord of the underworld like Copote, they are very awe-inspiring and even jealous of Arkham Asylum!
Gordon is also very clear that the search warrant he submitted this time is likely to be rejected by the city hall.
Therefore, he made two preparations in advance.
On the one hand, an application for a search warrant is submitted to the town hall in accordance with the normal process.
On the other hand, he also went directly to Arkham Asylum with a part of the police force at the same time!
He's going to do it once!
Because the pressure of public opinion is too urgent today.
If the city hall grants his application for a search warrant, then business as usual and bothering him will at best sentence him for a problem that does not follow the process.
However, if the town hall does not agree to his application for a search warrant, then Gordon will also conduct a search of Arkham Asylum.
It's just that when the time comes, he may get into some difficult trouble, such as conducting a search in violation of the law, or embarrassment from the town hall.
Still, whether the City Hall will approve his application for a search warrant, that will happen later.
And now, Gordon has made a decision, no matter what, he will launch a search of Arkham Asylum today!
He had a sixth sense, thinking that Jerome and Jerome might really be hiding in Arkham Asylum!
As an "old acquaintance", Gordon naturally knows very well that Levi is not that simple.
Levi's strength lies not only in his influence in all aspects of Gotham, but also because of Levi's own powerful force!
If it is really head-on, I am afraid that the police officers he brought with him are not the opponents of Levi and Arkham Asylum at all.
However, according to Gordon's understanding of Levi, no matter what the difference in strength between the two sides is, Levi will not directly turn his face on the spot with the Gotham Police Department.
It is even more impossible to directly engage in an armed confrontation with the Gotham Police Department!
This is where Gordon's real strength lies.
Although he didn't understand why Li Wei was obviously strong in strength, he had been entangled in justification......
But that's just the way it is!
Gordon, with a large police force, surrounded the Arkham Asylum.
At this time, Levi, who was in the Arkham Asylum, naturally noticed the change in the Gotham Police Department.
As for Gordon's plan, Levi guessed it with a little speculation.
However, Levi did not panic in the slightest, and did not inform Colbert to put pressure on Gordon with the men he had planted in the town hall council.
Because Gordon did guess most of the relationship between the two brothers, Jerome and Jerome, and the Arkham Asylum.
But the most crucial point was guessed wrong!
The brothers, Jerome and Jeroman, have a close relationship with Arkham Asylum, but they left Arkham Asylum long before the Gotham Police Department was dispatched.
Now Gordon wants to find traces of these two brothers here by searching Cam Asylum, which is completely impossible!
Levi walked out of Arkham Asylum with a smile on his face.
Face the encirclement of a large number of police officers.
His gaze was directly fixed on Gordon, who was standing in the middle of the officers.
"Sheriff Gordon...... Ah, no, I should call you Director Gordon by now." Levi's tone was very calm, like a neighbor asking you what you had for dinner, "We're old acquaintances too, what do you mean by this, you have to have this?"
Levi's calm performance made Gordon feel a bad feeling in his heart.
Maybe the two brothers, Jeromer and Jerome, are really not in the Arkham asylum?
But now, it has reached the point where the arrow has to be fired.
Gordon waved his hand at Levy.
"Dean Levi, since it's an old acquaintance, then I won't talk nonsense with you, I'm here today to search your Arkham Asylum, I don't know what your opinion is?"
Although it seems strange that the current chief of a police station would ask the opinion of the director of an insane asylum before the search.
But for the police officers present, they didn't find it strange in the slightest.
These officers are with it
Like Gordon, he is active on the front lines of crime in Gotham City every day.
Naturally, he is more or less aware of the reputation of Arkham Asylum and the legends that circulate in the underworld.
For such an "opponent", Director Gordon cannot be too cautious.
Levi's performance was also somewhat unexpected by Gordon.
When Li Wei heard that he was going to search Arkham Asylum, he was not as hostile as other underground forces in the music world.
Not even Levi asked for a search warrant.
He just had a faint smile on his face, and then said to Gordon with a slight meaning.
"Of course you have that right, Director Gordon, and I won't refuse you if you want, but you have to think about the consequences of doing so."
The more calm Levi became, the more uneasy Gordon's heart became.
Could it be that Jerome and Jerome are really not here?
And from Levi's words, Gordon guessed that Levi may have known that he had not yet obtained the authorization of the city hall to agree to the search warrant!
In other words, Levi seems to be 100% confident that his application for a search warrant will never pass the approval of the city hall.
Although Gordon had already guessed Levy's performance, he still had one last glimmer of hope in his heart.
Maybe Levi was just bluffing, and now the two brothers, Jerome and Jeromer, are hiding in the Arkham asylum!
Thinking of this, Gordon still nodded resolutely to Levi.
"Yes, I'll take care of all the consequences!"
Gordon didn't have to find trouble with Levi and Arkham Asylum.
Ever since he came into contact with and knew Levi and Arkham Asylum, he hadn't found the handle of Levi and Arkham Asylum for so long.
He's used to it!
Moreover, at this point in time, the Gotham Police Department and he have a lot of trouble to face, and it is not suitable to turn the other cheek with Levi and Arkham Asylum.
He insisted on searching the Arkham Asylum, but he only really wanted to find Jerome and Jerome.
The two brothers, Jerome and Jeromer, are too dangerous.
And their mental state is so abnormal that it's hard to guess when or where they will choose to wreak havoc next.
If you don't find them, or if you don't find clues about them, Gordon will not only be unassured, but he will also not be able to account for them to the citizens of Gotham!
Now because of the involvement of those media, the public opinion pressure on the Gotham Police Department in the entire Gotham City is really too great!
"Since you insist, then I have no problem."
Levi shrugged his shoulders and took the initiative to move out of the way of the door to Arkham Asylum, signaling that Gordon could take someone inside.
Just as Gordon was about to take his officers into Arkham Asylum to conduct a search.
Suddenly, a police officer hurried to Gordon's side and whispered something in his ear.
Gordon's face changed instantly.
Then he glanced up at Levi, just in time for Levi's smiling eyes.
Eventually, Gordon gritted his teeth and waved at the officers he had brought along.
"! Let's go somewhere else!"
The officers were still confused.
They're ready to enter Arkham Asylum and search, and now they're gone?
Could it be that the City Hall is putting pressure on Chief Gordon?
However, these veterans who retired from combat units such as the Marine Corps still maintain a good tradition of following orders.
After Gordon gave the order, even though they were a little incomprehensible, they still obeyed Gordon's order and withdrew from the area around Arkham Asylum in an orderly manner.
Among the people present, except for the police officer who suddenly ran up, and Gordon.
Only
Only Levi knew why.
It wasn't because the town hall council was putting pressure on Gordon.
Because just now the police officer came to Gordon's ear and told him that Jerome and Jerome had appeared at different locations in Gotham at the same time!
This also means that it is absolutely impossible for Jerome and Jerome to hide in the Arkham Asylum!
Although Gordon did want to take the opportunity to take a closer look at the secrets hidden in Arkham Asylum.
However, this is not a particularly good time.
Now the Gotham Police Department has a lot of trouble, and it is really unlikely that the City Hall will be approved by a search warrant.
Now that it has been determined that the two brothers, Jerome and Jerome, are not hiding in the Arkham Asylum, Gordon thinks it is better not to offend the Arkham Asylum and Levi at this time!
If this now leads the council to attack the Gotham Police Department, then the Gotham Police Department really didn't get any useful clues, and it caused a lot of trouble!
That's why Gordon gave the order to retreat.
The most important thing now is that it is even more significant to go and arrest the two brothers, Jerome and Jerome!
Regardless of whether this arrest operation is successful or not, at least the Gotham Police Department can have an answer sheet that can be explained to the citizens of Gotham!
And Levi already knew about it.
Even from the beginning, Levi knew about the plans of the two brothers, Jerome and Jerome.
After being provoked by Barnes, the two brothers had already made their own plans.
Although because of the contradictions between the two brothers, the two will not choose to cooperate, but the two of them appear together, which is enough for the Gotham Police Department and Gordon to drink a pot!
As for the purpose......
The two brothers mainly went to Barnes, and as for the Gotham Police Department, it was only incidental.
