Chapter 792: Deliverance (2)
Mayor James was as difficult to communicate as expected, Rachel Dawes made several phone calls to the mayor's office in a row to explain the seriousness of the situation, but was blocked by the staff on duty in the office, led by the mayor who had already rested, very coldly.
"Bang!" Rachel angrily slammed the phone in her hand on the table and scolded fiercely: "A bunch of bureaucrats!"
Liang Dong shook his head gently, looked at Rachel and said, "Don't underestimate these people, they are generally very well-informed. Now you're making this call as an acting prosecutor, and it's such an urgent matter, and it stands to reason that they should immediately notify the mayor. But looking at the current situation, it's obvious that there is something else!"
"What's the inside story? Could it be that these people have been bought off?" Rachel Dawes knows a lot about the corruption in the Gotham City Government, and although she doesn't have any evidence in her hands, she can see a lot of things just from her usual contacts.
"It's also a possibility. Liang Dong nodded, and said with some melancholy: "There is another possibility, that is, Mayor James has decided on the next prosecutor, and this person is not you." That's why those well-informed imps will give you a look on your face. ”
Hearing Liang Dong say this, Rachel Dawes's face turned white in an instant, but she quickly shook her head, picked up the clothes on the side, and said to Liang Dong: "Okay, Terry, we should go." ”
"Let's go, don't you have to wait for the call here?" Liang Dong looked at Rachel Dawes in some surprise, he thought she would be waiting here for a call from the FBI, DEA and other departments, but why did she suddenly have to leave.
"It could have been better if the phone didn't get through. Rachel Dawes explained, dressing up, "If we're here, we're probably going to have to fight with those people, and if the phone doesn't work, they're going to send someone to investigate, which is better than arguing with the city." ”
Rachel Dawes knows much more about these procedures than Liang Dong, and the FBI and DEA will inevitably report the matter to the city government, and the city government cannot admit these things until it understands the situation, and may have to call the local prosecutor's office to inquire about it.
If there is anyone in the middle of this, I am afraid that tossing and turning overnight may not be able to achieve anything.
Liang Dong figured this out, and hurriedly chased Rachel Dawes out, and while driving, he asked, "Then where are we going?"
"When I go to Naho Island, I have something to ask Officer Gordon. Raising her head and glancing at Liang Dong, Rachel shook her head slightly.
"Okay!" Liang Dong didn't say a word, and directly turned the car around and drove towards Nai Ho Island, but the closer he got to Nai Ho Dao, he found that countless policemen were rushing in the direction of Nai Ho Dao, and it was obvious that something had happened.
Liang Dong was about to pick up the communicator on the car to inquire about the General Bureau, but Rachel Dawes shook her head firmly,
Liang Dong always felt that Rachel Dawes, who woke up from a sleep, was a little different, became wise, and saw through it for a lot of time, maybe this is her true face, after all, how could she not be shrewd to sit in the position of acting prosecutor at such a young age.
When he came to the outside of Nai Ho Island, Liang Dong parked the car farther away, and then escorted Rachel all the way to Nai Ho Bridge. There were police on all sides, mounted police, special police, blast police, and almost all the police forces on the Lower East Side were brought in.
Even media news vehicles reported on the sidelines, accusing the police of suppressing citizens, and anyone who wanted to leave or enter Naho Island was stopped after leaving the police.
Liang Dong and Rachel were no exception, they were stopped by a patrol officer, but were allowed to pass through after showing their respective documents. However, both were clearly informed that the bridge was about to be raised, and no one would be allowed to come and go after that
Liang Dong didn't care, Rachel Dawes insisted on entering Nai Ho Island, and entered Nai Ho Island, which was already in chaos at this time.
As soon as I entered the island, I saw that the police were maintaining order on the street, demanding that every pedestrian on the street go home immediately.
Liang Dong and Rachel inquired with the patrol police while looking for Gordon, fortunately Gordon was not far away, and he and Frass also maintained order on the street, but compared to the grumpy Frass, Gordon's attitude towards ordinary people was much softer.
Seeing Liang Dong and Rachel appear here, Gordon's face changed, Rachel let Liang Dong be on guard next to him, and pulled Gordon to the corner and whispered to him what the two of them had done before, and finally Rachel took out a bottle of antibodies from his body and handed it to Gordon, and said at the same time: "This is our mutual friend, I want me to give it to you, this is the antidote, I hope you don't need it." ”
Gordon quickly put away the antibody, subconsciously glanced back, and then continued: "Unless someone releases the poison into the air, I shouldn't need it." Okay, leave me alone, you'd better get out of here and go. ”
As he spoke, Gordon pushed Rachel Dawes into Liang Dong's arms and said in a deep voice, "Terry, protect her well." ”
"I'll leave Rachel to me. Liang Dong glanced at Gordon and said in a deep voice, "You have to be careful yourself, Gordon." ”
After saying that, Liang Dong forcibly took Rachel, who was a little reluctant to leave, towards the bridge, but it was too late, just when the two of them arrived, the bridge had already begun to rise, and no one wanted to leave.
"What to do, Terry?" Rachel looked at Liang Dong with a frown, it was difficult for them to leave even now.
"Let's find a place to hide first. Liang Dong had a bad premonition in his heart, the current situation is not good, but it is so chaotic, it is obvious that some people have started their actions in advance. And every house here has a large amount of poison mixed into the water pipes, and once it is about to be detonated, they are in the house, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to avoid the poison at that time.
Before Liang Dong could think about what to do next, he heard Rachel ask in a loud voice, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Liang Dong looked up and saw that Rachel Dawes had already walked towards a SWAT car by the bridge, the door was open, and there were several SWAT officers standing at the door, and not far in front of the SWAT was a little girl who was pushed to the ground, no wonder Rachel was so indignant.
Rachel walked over and took the little girl in her arms, and then glared hard at the SWAT officer in front of the little girl, who looked at Rachel Dawes with a vicious expression, and stretched out his hand to point at her with an unfriendly expression.
"Hey, brother, what are you doing with your own people!" Liang Dong was worried about the conflict between the two sides, and hurriedly walked towards Rachel's side.
At this moment, a man in a crisp suit walked out of the SWAT car, as if he had come to attend a banquet, and this person was Henry Duka, it was unimaginable that he was able to pass through the police line and enter the island of Naihe, and he was in a police car.
Instead of ignoring Rachel and Liang Dong, who were carrying the little girl away, Duka said to several patrol officers, "Gentlemen, you can start moving." ”
