"Who is it?!"
Gordon slammed the documents in his hands onto the table. He had also seen the video on the television. He shouted at the officers in front of him.
"Who leaked the videotape? Damn it! This will cause panic among the citizens! "
No one answered, but everyone knew the severity of the situation. Gotham had eight million people. Even if only one-tenth of them saw the video, it was enough to cause a riot. A madman had started killing people because of Batman. No one knew if he would be the next.
Gordon's anger was justified. When he got the video, he had already sealed it in the police station's warehouse. Even though it could have been sent by Joker to the television station, there was a higher possibility that there was a mole in the police station.
In fact, before Falconi's time, the Gotham Police Station had become a gathering place for moles. Harvey had told Gordon more than once that he did not trust the people in the police station. Gordon knew this as well. However, as long as there was crime, as long as there was a gang, there would be an endless stream of moles.
Not everyone was like him and Robin, willing to be the city's protector.
A few seconds after he lost his temper, the office door was pushed open, and Robin walked in with a stack of documents in his hands. He glanced at the others, and Gordon understood what he meant. He waved his hand and said angrily, "Let's go.
"Go, do your job well!"
The officers left one after another. Robin said softly and hurriedly, "Chief, the test results of the poker card that was pinned to Brian's body are out. There are only three sets of DNA on it … Harvey Dent, Chief Robert, and …"
Robin looked at Gordon.
"And Judge Selina. It's obvious that he's trying to intimidate us. These should be the next three targets he wants to kill."
Gordon nodded. He picked up his phone and spoke to Robin.
"Bring some people to protect the judge. I'll take care of Robert. Where is Harvey?"
"Mr. Harvey and Ms. Rachel went to the banquet."
Robin flipped through the documents and said, "That's a cocktail party specially held for Mr. Bruce Wayne because he was arrested by the mafia. It should have started by now. Should we send someone over?"
"Bruce …"
Gordon pursed his lips and shook his head. "No, we have limited manpower. The Wayne family's territory is the safest place in Gotham. We don't need to worry. Go, Robin. Protect Judge Selina well. She will be very important in the upcoming trial."
"Yes, Chief, I understand."
Robin immediately turned and left, leading her team to the judge's house. Gordon looked around and made two phone calls.
"Bruce … Protect Harvey. He is Joker's next target."
"I got it!"
Ten minutes later, in front of Judge Selena's house, Selena nudged the sleeping Saber and whispered.
"Hey, someone's here!"
Seber took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Robin, who was armed to the teeth, getting out of a police car with several police officers. He punched the steering wheel.
"Damn it, that bastard! I told him not to get involved! "
"Looks like you guessed right!"
Selena said worriedly. "It looks like that crazy Joker is really going to do something to Judge Selina. She is a really good person. There are not many people like her in this city."
Seiber frowned when he saw the unhappy Judge Selina being escorted out of the door by a few police officers. He turned around and said to Selina, "Let's go.
"You want to save this good person, right? Then go and call her over! "
He took out a gun from his pocket and placed it in Selena's hand. "You can use any method. Remember, you are saving her life!"
After saying that, he put on his sunglasses, grabbed the wrench beside him, opened the car door, and walked quickly toward Robin and the others. Selina was stunned for a moment. She thought about what Seiber said, and finally gritted her teeth. She put on her sunglasses and a black baseball cap, opened the car door, and walked quickly out of the car.
"Madam Judge, believe me. This protection is necessary. Because of your brave actions, you have become the target of the mafia and Joker. This is for your life."
Robin stood beside the car and said gently, "Gotham needs a righteous judge like you."
"That's enough, child. Don't say that to me!"
Ms. Selina was over 50 years old this year. She had been fighting criminals for decades and had even lost her husband because of it. She was not worried about those bastards at all. She only cared about her grandson's dinner. She frowned and interrupted Robin's words and asked loudly.
"Just tell me, when will I be able to cook dinner for my little grandson in peace? Didn't Gordon say that the security in the city is getting better? "
Robin was about to answer when the three police officers behind him shouted.
"Hey, who are you! Stop! Don't come any closer! "
He turned his head abruptly and saw that his companion had drawn his gun. Opposite them was a man wearing a black baseball cap, large sunglasses, and a black trench coat, quickly approaching them.
The clothes were so familiar that it took less than a second for Robin to recognize the man. He was about to call out Saber's name when he saw his brother accelerate. His speed was so fast that it was beyond the limits of a normal person. In just two breaths, he had reached his partner and smashed them with the wrench in his hand.
Bang bang bang!
After three dull thuds, the three police officers fell to the ground with their hands on their wrists. Their guns were thrown aside. Then, Saber kicked them into the garden of Judge Selina's house. He walked towards Robin angrily. The young man did not know if he should pull out his gun. The next moment, his wrist was grabbed by Saber.
"I warned you not to joke with your life! You bastard of a brother, come here! "
The angry Saber's strength was not something that Robin could resist. The young police officer was about to struggle when Saber punched him in the stomach. All his struggles turned into a whimper. Then, Saber carried him on his shoulder and strode towards the black SUV.
The judge, who was watching the scene, was about to shout when she felt a gun pointed at her back. The old judge, who had been fighting criminals for decades, immediately raised her hands. Then, she heard a deliberately lowered hoarse female voice behind her.
"Okay, Madam Judge, come with us. This is for your safety."
"But someone just said this to me. In the end, they were knocked down by your partner. They are the police. Tell me, child, who should I believe?"
Selina didn't know how to respond to Selina's sharp question. However, she quickly recalled what Seiber said to her. She pointed the gun at the judge and forced her to walk to Seiber's car while explaining to her.
"Those police officers are no longer reliable. Madam, Gotham Police Station is publicly known as trash. You have to believe us."
"Then who are you?"
Selina did not answer the question. Judge Selina could only reluctantly open the door of the Dodge and get in. Robin, who was handcuffed to the chair, sat beside her. The young officer yelled, "Sir, you're in trouble.
"No! Saber, you can't do this! "
Saber turned the steering wheel and said without turning his head.
"Yes, I can! Dad is not here, so you have to listen to me. Let me tell you, that Joker is not … "
"Boom!"
Before Saber could finish, 200 meters away from them, the car that Madam Selina was about to sit in exploded. Flames and black smoke rose into the sky and flipped the car over. Even the car that Robin was driving was pushed more than 10 meters away.
The explosion seemed to have triggered other reactions. Dense black pieces of paper flew into the sky and scattered down. Saber raised his head and reached out his hand to catch a piece of paper from the sky. He held it in his hand. It was a poker card that was half burnt. On it was a bloody Joker.
Beside him, Selena was stunned. Robin widened her eyes. Judge Selina drew a cross in front of her chest to celebrate her narrow escape from death. She did not dare to imagine what would have happened if she had listened to the police and sat in that car …
"God … thank you for your mercy."
She took a few deep breaths and patted Selena's shoulder. Her voice was much gentler, but there was a trace of fear that could not be concealed.
"Thank you, child. I should not have doubted you."
Selena smiled embarrassedly. Saber turned around and looked at Robin.
"Did you see that? My brother … this is your 'plan'! I have said before that when dealing with a madman, there is no plan! "
"Then what should I … what should I do?"
Robin asked bitterly. The truth was right in front of her. She had no choice but to believe it. Saber was right. From the looks of it, Chief Gordon and the police could not deal with that madman. If Saber did not come in time, even he would have been …
Seiber did not answer immediately. Instead, he started the engine. The black SUV made a large circle around the explosion site before disappearing into Gotham's traffic. He looked at the rear-view mirror and said in a low voice,
He looked at the rear-view mirror and said, "It's simple … Disappear from the current plan. Robin, we have to become non-existent so that we can watch everything from a third party's point of view.
While Judge Selina and Robin escaped death, Gordon was looking at his colleague in the police chief's office with a headache. Chief Lauber, or more accurately, Deputy Chief Lauber, should have been removed from his post after the War of the Narrow Island. However, Lauber was a qualified opportunist despite his incompetence.
After the War of the Narrow Island, he supported the former mayor's assistant, Nestor, to run for mayor and spent a lot of money. After Nestor won the election, he kept his position. However, the official police chief was his subordinate, Gordon. This made Lauber very unhappy. However, Mayor Nestor was not an idiot. He knew who was the one who should be doing the work.
Lauber and Gordon were rivals, but now, Gordon had to protect him personally. After all, it was a matter of life and the dignity of the Gotham police force.
"I say, Gordon, I don't think you should mobilize the entire police force at this time. Also, what's going on?"
Lauber might be arrogant and incompetent, but he was not stupid. Seeing Gordon surround his office floor by floor, it was obvious that something had happened in the police station that he did not know about.
Gordon didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he ordered the police officers around him.
"Listen up, guys. I need you guys to search every floor. Every suspicious person and anything suspicious, report them all to me!"
After everyone had left, he turned to Robert and said, "Let's go.
"I believe that Joker made a death threat to you. If you want to ensure your own safety, you'd better listen to me!"
Lauber froze for a moment. However, as the deputy chief, he could not show any sign of fear in front of the other officers, so he snorted coldly.
"You know what? Gordon, you just became the chief. You might not have noticed, but I've been fighting criminals for more than ten years. I've received countless threats, and I know the right way to deal with them! "
He took out a bottle of wine and a glass from his cupboard. He seemed very confident as he poured the wine into the glass. Then, he raised the glass and said loudly,
"I'm the chief of police of this city. With so many good guys here, I'm not afraid of them. Let them come!"
His performance was very brave, and he also flattered the surrounding policemen, which made those people's impression of him change a lot. Although the deputy director was somewhat incompetent and had accepted bribes, at least his courage was worthy of recognition.
Gordon knew what kind of person Lauber was, so he did not care about Lauber's brave words. He was carefully inspecting Lauber's office, trying to find anything dangerous. When he turned around, he saw Lauber raise the glass and drink the wine.
Gordon's eyes widened at this moment.
"No! Put it down! Don't drink it! Damn it! "
"Ugh!"
The cup in Robert's hand fell to the ground. He clutched his neck with both hands, and his eyes rolled back in pain. He fell to the ground, and Gordon pounced on him, pressing on his heart as he yelled, "Stop!
"Call an ambulance! Damn it! Hurry! "
The black SUV made a sharp braking sound and stopped in front of Saber's villa. Saber exhaled and said without hesitation, "Judge, stay here for a while.
"Madam Judge, you can stay here for a few days. It's very safe here. Don't move around. Robin will protect you. Selena, come with me … It's time to fulfill your promise."
