Gordon unbuttoned a button on the collar of his shirt, twisted his neck, relaxed his shoulders, and then turned to look out the window at the dark rainy night in Gotham, which was still cold and humid.
His colleagues greeted each other and left the police station after get off work. One of them said to Gordon: "Hey, man, you shouldn't have taken on that difficult case in the first place. Dozens of missing persons? I'm afraid you will do it again tonight." I have to check the files until midnight."
Gordon smiled helplessly and said, "As you said, there are dozens of cases of missing people, so I have to have some snacks."
After all his colleagues left, Gordon made himself a cup of strong coffee. He planned to work hard all night tonight.
The missing persons cases in Mosenjie District are very strange. In the past, even if the missing persons were done very covertly, the bodies of some deceased victims would still be found. However, among the 46 people missing in Mosenjie District, not a single person was found.
It's not normal for a dead body to appear on the streets of Gotham.
Gotham has never been a law-abiding city. There are so many gangs here that no experienced gang member would take the trouble to dispose of the body. They would just throw the body down from the upstairs, even though they knew it was a scam.
But the police, but the police are nothing in Gotham.
Among the dozens of people missing from Mawson Block, there are people from all professions. They have almost nothing in common. The only thing they have in common is that they are permanent residents of Mawson Block.
Gordon was still very young at this time. He was just a small head of the police station, and he was still far away from the director. This case, which no one wanted to take over, this hot potato, was eventually taken over by Ge, who had a sense of justice.
Dengg accepted it, even though he knew that this would most likely be a thankless job, he still planned to do his best to complete it and redress the grievances of the victims.
Just when he stayed up late organizing files and was already too sleepy, he suddenly felt a noise behind him. When he turned around, a huge shadow enveloped him. Gordon immediately reached for his waist, but his pistol was not there.
.
The person opposite was wearing a black tights, with two pointed ears on his head, and a black cloak. His tall figure almost blocked all the lights above his head. Gordon said cautiously: "
Who are you? Why are you in the police station?"
"You can think of me as a vigilante. I'm investigating the missing persons incident in the Mawson neighborhood. I found out that you went there today and yesterday. You should be the police detective in charge of this case. I hope to get these missing persons."
Archives of Population.”
Just when Gordon was about to reject the person opposite, he spoke again: "Of course, I also have some clues that I can exchange with you, or I can work with you to jointly solve this case."
Vigilante? Gordon thought, this is ridiculous. There can't be such a person in Gotham City, otherwise it wouldn't be called Sin City.
The first encounter between Gordon and Batman was not pleasant. The two of them faced off for a long time in the police station. Obviously, Batman, who had just arrived, had not yet understood the essence of leaving without finishing a conversation. He and Gordon lingered for a long time.
, and finally got impatient.
Batman found that he was really unlucky. There were countless policemen in Gotham City who neglected their duties, but he happened to meet the most serious one. Gordon even wanted to protect those files to the death, but Batman didn't want to hurt him, so he
There is no better way.
After Batman cleaned up the Shuigou Gang, he was greatly shocked by the beggar. Although he saved the beggar in the end, it was obvious that he reflected on his actions and began to be less ambitious.
Just start from the simplest.
The starting point of his superhero journey, Mawson Block, except for the Shuigou Gang, is not peaceful either. The number of missing persons in Mawson Block has reached a very dangerous number, and the permanent population here is only a few hundred.
That's it, but more than forty people have disappeared. Batman is determined to use this case as the starting point of his debut.
And, of course he has people to doubt.
A university teacher stayed up in the middle of the night and sneaked into the neighborhood where Gotham gangs were located. He appeared and disappeared for no reason. Is there anyone more suspicious than this?
It's not that Batman hasn't thought about going to Schiller directly to confront him, but he knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat the professor in terms of words. He and Schiller were defeated in both confrontations. He felt that he had to
After sufficient evidence is obtained, he will be brought to justice.
On this day, Batman came to the Mawson neighborhood again. He couldn't get the missing persons case file from Gordon, so he sneaked into the home of a missing person, trying to find some other clues from his house.
.
As soon as he climbed out of the window, he saw Schiller's figure again. Under the streetlight not far downstairs, Schiller was holding a black umbrella and looking at the opposite wall. Batman saw him.
He found that Schiller was looking at the place where the beggar was, but there was no beggar there now. Batman sent the beggar to the best hospital in Gotham City and covered all his treatment expenses. Although the beggar
Both legs were amputated, but at least he survived.
Because the beggar had been leaning on the wall all year round, a dark stain had been left there. The rainwater had formed a small puddle where he had been sitting, reflecting the dim light of the street lamp, while Schiller was standing on the road.
On the opposite side, looking at the puddle, I didn't know what I was thinking.
In the end, the young Batman could not remain calm. He jumped down and appeared in front of Schiller.
"Good evening, Batman, I remember you called yourself that last time, so I'll call you that too."
Batman's eyes under the mask stared at him tightly, and he said: "Don't talk in circles with me, you know what I'm here to do."
"You are here to be the savior, I know, for example, you saved a poor beggar."
"Did you do the missing persons case in Mawson Street?" Batman asked.
Schiller shook his head, and Batman said: "You are the only outsider, and you have no motive for being here."
Schiller said: "Obviously, you already have the answer in your heart, why do you still come to ask me? You are always good at turning things you have determined into questions to ask others."
"If you get an answer that satisfies you, you will naturally be satisfied, but if you don't get the answer you want, you will become very angry."
"If I say that I am not the murderer, you will feel very angry, but your anger does not come from your sense of justice, but because I did not give you the answer you want,"
"You think you have a knack for predicting things, don't you?" Schiller asked.
"I said, don't talk in circles with me, you are the only suspect here..."
Before Schiller could speak, he found a batarang flying along the side of his neck. He seemed to have underestimated the enemy a little. Whether it was Batman at this time or Batman in the future, although they did not kill people, they
They often beat up criminals and are not shy about breaking their legs before sending them to the hospital.
But obviously, this young Batman is still missing a program.
Schiller didn't speak for a while, and another batarang flew past his neck. This time, Schiller did not use his spider sense to tilt his head in advance, but looked at Batman quietly.
The batarang left a gash on the side of his neck, and blood flowed out. Suddenly, there was a series of rapid footsteps at the end of the alley, and a voice shouted: "Stop!"
Batman turned his head and looked at the end of the alley. Under the streetlight, Gordon was pointing his pistol at the two men.
"Detective Gordon, hello," Schiller said.
Detective Gordon walked over slowly with his gun raised. He said: "Put down your weapons and don't move."
Schiller spread his hands to indicate that he had no weapons, while Batman put away the batarangs in his hands.
When Gordon got closer, he discovered that there was blood on Schiller's neck. The blood was flowing down his shoulders and even wet his shirt.
Schiller said: "Batman, you made a mistake. You said I was the only suspect, but this detective obviously didn't think so."
"The only people who have no motive to appear here are you and me."
"I'm here to investigate a missing persons case." Batman said,
"Then so do I." Schiller said, "But obviously, you are not any more noble than me, because neither of us are police officers. I think only Detective Gordon has the power to do this now."
"I'll find the evidence." Batman said.
"If you also need evidence, what's the difference between you and the police?" Schiller suddenly asked.
Batman was speechless for a moment. He thought Schiller would ask him for evidence. Batman also knew that although Schiller appeared where he shouldn't have, it could not be used as evidence to prove that he indeed had
He committed a crime, so he was determined to find clues to prove that Schiller was the murderer.
But Schiller's question got to the point, Batman thought. He had always believed that the police were very useless, because they had to provide evidence for everything. Even if a murder happened in front of them, they would not go there until they saw the murderer.
Arrest the most suspect person.
This was the case when his parents died. No police officer gave the proper explanation, and no one was brought to justice. His parents died, but no one paid the price.
He thought, if he also needed evidence, then why didn't he go to the Gotham Police Department and become a police officer?
But if he doesn't need evidence and just arrests anyone at will, what's the difference between him and a criminal?
Batman regretted that he should not have gone up to talk to Schiller. Every conversation with Schiller would make him shaken. This kind of psychological and conscious wavering is the most terrifying.
Every time after meeting Schiller, Batman has to go back and think deeply for at least two or three days to understand the question he asked, find his own answer, and strengthen his confidence before he can go out and act again.
He felt that it was no different from attending classes in college. The teacher asked a question and the students thought about it themselves and then wrote a paper. When they met next time, in addition to checking their homework, there were new questions waiting for him, one question after another, as if they had never
endless.
And Schiller also complained in his heart, this Jonathan is really quite capable. After Schiller stole most of the fear gas, not only did it not slow down his research speed, but it made him even crazier and kidnapped experimental subjects, causing Schiller to wake up in the middle of the night.
