Columbus whispered: "After the mayor left, Galavan kept confusing the director, saying that the evidence was false and that you were framing him.
If you don't believe it, you can verify it on the spot, there is a computer on the desk.
I clearly explained to him that the mayor had never entered Galavan's bedroom, let alone stuffed the hard drive under the intact mattress in full view of everyone.
But the director was still persuaded by Galavan and took him to the back office.
Because the computer uses a fingerprint password, Galavan must activate it himself.
The office was smaller and not as spacious as the living room, and most police officers did not enter.
In this way, Galavan would have an opportunity to take advantage of.
After leaving the big team in the living room, he suddenly broke the shackles, held a police detective hostage with a pen, and asked us all to leave the office."
"I didn't know there was a paraglider hidden under the floor in the office. They hadn't found it before.
I thought the office was a deserted place, and as long as he guarded the living room, he would have nowhere to escape.
But no matter what, the two fast hard drives were finally saved.
As long as the evidence is there, he will be caught sooner or later," Barnes argued.
Harley patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "We will hold a press conference later, and you can explain it to the reporters."
She doesn't take the blame!
It was such a perfect plan, but it almost failed because of his suspicion.
In fact, the main criminal Galavan escaped, and half of today's arrest operation has been lost.
"What's missing from the office?" Harley looked at Columbus, "The sniper shot him more than a dozen times, but no one was killed."
"The decorative knight's plate armor is missing." Columbus said awkwardly.
"You guys!" Harley was about to curse a few more words when a miserable Ah Fu, limping on his legs, shouted outside: "Miss Quinn, Mayor Quinn, it's me!"
Well, he was stopped by the GCPD.
When Harley saw Ah Fu, she knew the purpose of his coming here.
"Director Barnes, there are countless casualties outside, so the rescue work is left to you."
"What about you?" Barnes asked.
"The helicopter team is tracking Galavan. I'm going to see if I can catch him. And Bruce Wayne, there is no trace of him in the building."
While Harley was talking, people had already arrived at the isolation belt in front of the building.
When Ah Fu called him to him, he whispered: "Don't talk yet. If we have something to do, let's talk alone."
After Ah Fu followed her into a command vehicle, he asked expectantly: "Have you found Master Bruce in the building?"
"Of course I can't find it."
"Ah!" Ah Fu's face turned pale. "We haven't found anyone. Now, will Galavan's people become angry and take out their anger on the young master?"
"definitely will."
Ah Fu's eyes were red and he said excitedly: "Miss Quinn, you must save the young master!"
"The key now is to immediately lock Bruce's position, and you can do it." Harley said.
"What should I do? I asked around and had no clue. If I knew where he was, I would go there myself." Ah Fu said anxiously.
Harley came close to his ear and whispered: "You should go to Wenbeck Street in the Upper West Side now and find the psychic Zed."
"Psychic? What can she do?" Ah Fu said blankly.
"Looking for people and ghosts."
"Is it reliable?" Ah Fu looked doubtful.
Harley rolled her eyes, "Do you have any other choice?"
"Okay, I'll go!" Ah Fu dragged his injured leg and was about to walk out.
"Wait a minute," Harley stopped him, "Although Zed is my friend, you still have to pay."
"How much?" Ah Fu asked.
"Three to fifty thousand, seven to eighty thousand, it's up to you."
The reason why Afu was asked to find Zed instead of Xanadu was because Xanadu was short of money and Zed had been living in a tight situation recently.
After finishing Bruce's job, she can relax for a year or two.
"As long as you find someone, money is not a problem." Ah Fu didn't hesitate at all.
"Go back and prepare a set of locating devices. If anyone asks, just tell them where you found the detention point through it," Harley said.
"Why?" Ah Fu asked puzzled.
"I don't want Zed to be avenged by your enemies, and I don't want people to guess how I found Mother Cobot," Harley said meaningfully.
"Mrs. Cobot" Ah Fu suddenly understood and then became overjoyed.
"After confirming the location, don't go alone. Are you shot in the leg?"
"The car was blown up and my leg was broken." Ah Fu explained, and then immediately said: "I will call the police personally for you.
Without you, the ordinary GCPD would not be able to defeat those cult soldiers."
"Helicopter team, please reply when you receive it."
After Ah Fu left, Harley did not leave the command vehicle. Instead, she picked up the microphone and began to search for the location of the helicopter.
After a burst of noise, a voice came from the other side: "Mr. Mayor, we are on Third Avenue and seem to have lost trace of Galavan."
"You idiot, even a helicopter can chase a paraglider away. How did you do it?" Harley scolded.
"The helicopter could only look down from above, but after the paraglider landed, it was discovered that it was empty below. At some point, Galavan had already parachuted," the pilot explained.
"Where are the police cars on the ground? Have they found any traces of Galavan?" Harley asked again.
"Your Excellency, Mayor, when he was still thirty meters above the ground, Galavan untied the rope and jumped into the big camphor tree on the roadside.
It was dark at the time, so we didn't notice it. Later, when we looked back and checked, we discovered that the branch was broken."
"A bunch of losers!" Harley hung up the phone with a dark face.
Stepping out of the command vehicle, Director Barnes looked solemn and directed the rescue and escort work in a clear and orderly manner.
He has the demeanor of a calm general.
Not far away, there were reporters who came back and took pictures with their cameras.
Seeing her subordinates showing off in the limelight, Harley felt uncomfortable. She coughed twice and deliberately walked past the isolation belt nonchalantly.
Sure enough, the reporters immediately surrounded her like seagulls seeing sardines.
"Mayor Quinn, if you misdirected this time and caused heavy casualties, will you be impeached by the parliament?"
Harry's face darkened.
"Mayor Quinn, will you take responsibility for your reckless behavior?"
Harley's face is so dark.
"Your Excellency, Mayor, people around the world have seen the previous massacres on television, and they look down on Gotham even more. This is inconsistent with your declaration of 'making Gotham great again'!"
Harry couldn't help it anymore and shook the cloak vigorously. Inadvertently, the tattered cloak, which had been hit by countless bullets, was exposed in front of others.
"First of all, today's battle is not a shame, but the glory of Gotham. No one can look down on us.
The police officers are very brave.
Under my leadership, they fought the enemy to the last moment and won the final victory.
Secondly, the Order of Saint Dumas is not an ordinary person. They are the most powerful and terrifying war machine in history. They are an armed group that split from the Crusaders.
If you are not forgetful, you should remember that when they came out, everyone was wearing handcuffs.
But what is the result?
The police officers, who had an absolute advantage in numbers and weapons, could hardly defeat them.
You go back and watch the video carefully. If I hadn't rushed into the enemy's position with all my strength, the gangster would have escaped long ago.
Ask yourself, apart from Gotham, apart from me, which country or city can contain such a large-scale terrorist society?"
The reporters thought of just a dozen terrorists in London, Paris and other European cities, causing "terrorist attacks that shocked the world."
Break the handcuffs and beat ten of them with bare hands
They suddenly shuddered.
"God, if it hadn't been for the mayor's reminder, I wouldn't have realized that the 'Saint Dumas Cult' is so dangerous and powerful."
"Ah, I understand. It was through this group of cult followers that Galavan almost killed all the upper East Side bosses and more than two hundred powerful people, and died in mysterious circumstances.
Hiss~ The Order of Saint Dumas is so terrifying!"
"The reason why we don't think they are strong is not that they are not strong, but that they were massacred by the mayor in the battle just now.
Alas, we cannot use Mayor Quinn as a reference!"
"Indeed, Mayor Quinn often makes us have certain illusions, for example, the GCPD is useless and as weak as chickens.
For example, the Crusaders are as stupid as pigs
It's all an illusion!
It’s true that the mayor is too strong and too smart.”
After the mayor gave some advice, the reporters' thoughts immediately turned 180 degrees.
However, Wei Ke still asked a pointed question: "Your Excellency, Mayor, we have seen with our own eyes how powerful the monks are, but we also saw that they had already entered the police car honestly.
I guess there should be a strict plan for this operation.
The accident came from the penthouse. It seemed that Theo Galavan suddenly broke the glass wall and jumped from the top. The monks started to riot.
Why didn't you control Galavan?
Is this a major mistake?"
Harley glanced at the black-haired female reporter with admiration, but a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
After hesitating for a while, she waved to Barnes, who was secretly watching, "Columbus, come here."
Barnes took a step forward, but then abruptly took it back.
"Your Excellency, Mayor, are you looking for me?"
Columbus trotted over and saluted humbly and respectfully.
Harley pointed at Columbus and told reporters: "This young man made a great contribution today. He cooperated with Jim Gordon to find the key criminal evidence of Galavan.
At the same time, he also personally experienced the changes on the top floor.
You all know that I was downstairs at the time, and I was definitely not as clear about the things above as he was."
"Columbus, tell the reporters what happened in detail." Harley turned to Barnes again, "Director Barnes, come here too, the reporters will interview you later."
Barnes' face changed from dark to red.
He pulled Gordon and asked in a low voice: "Is Columbus the mayor's man? Galavan said it was Columbus who put the hard drive into the mattress."
Gordon shook his head firmly, "I swear, it was not Columbus who did it. Other police officers are also at the scene. You can ask them."
He didn't lie.
The box containing the hard drive was cleverly stuffed into his pocket by Harley before he reached the attic, and he put it into the mattress!
"As for Columbus," Gordon said against his will: "He was just a small patrolman before. Does the mayor like him?
And, have you forgotten?
It was you who promoted him two levels in a row, from patrol officer to senior detective."
Barnes was stunned.
After the Columbus police detective narrated and Chief Barnes defended himself, all reporters and passers-by understood: Mayor Quinn was extremely wise, strategizing, brave and fearless, and made no mistakes at all. However, the GCPD around him unexpectedly pulled his hips.
.
Well, they were not disappointed with the GCPD's overall performance today.
In fact, better than expected.
At least, they didn't run around like they did in the past, crying for their parents and letting everyone escape.
