Chapter 1392 Say My Name (5)(Chapter Preview)

In the afternoon, the hazy weather made people drowsy.

It was supposed to be a good day for a nap, but a sudden case made many people unexpectedly busy.

[Who poked the hornet's nest, ackham?] This was the headline printed on the front page of the evening news of Gotham.

However, that was a story for another time. For now, it was better to talk about the busy people and the police officers of the Gotham Police station.

No one would have thought that the fire axe thug from last night had done something big in Arkham Asylum in less than 24 hours.

​ This kind of lawless behavior had naturally alerted the director of the Gotham Police station, James Gordon.

When the news of the mental hospital's "collective jailbreak" reached Gordon, he had just come out of a police officer's house. And that police officer ... Was one of the victims of the fire axe thugs last night.

Gordon had always left the terrible and difficult task of 'informing the family of the deceased' to himself because he felt that he was responsible for the life of every subordinate as the director.

After being bombarded with tears and sorrow by the family members of the police officers who had died in the line of duty, Gordon, who had returned to the police car ... Must be in a bad mood. At this time, he heard the news that the murderer from last night had committed another crime through the police's channel.

One could imagine the director's next reaction ...

He immediately issued an order to surround them through the walkie-talkie in the car and added a statement at the end of the order,"any measures can be taken if necessary."

His subordinates all understood this, which meant ... They didn't have to catch him alive.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Within ten minutes of the order, more than half of the city's police force rushed to the suburbs where the mental hospital was located.

Obviously, it was not only the chief, but many other police officers had also elevated the arrest of brother sleep to the level of personal grudges. After all, he was a "criminal who killed a police officer", so it was only right for him to receive such "special treatment."

Moreover, it had been a long time since there was such a serious crime in Gotham City. The attack on the police station last night and the jailbreak today ... According to this pace, they were going to attack the City Hall tomorrow, right? How could he endure this?

Also, although the prisoners he had released were not as evil as him, they were all mentally ill, and many of them had violent tendencies. These people ... Even if only one of them ran back to the city, there was no telling how big of a mess they would cause.

"Yes ..." Gordon said thoughtfully."If he just wanted to cause trouble for the police, he only needed to open the doors of all the cells and entrances in the main control room ... And he could run away. As for what would happen next ... He didn't have to care at all.

"But the actual situation is ... He chose to broadcast to you that he was going to release the prisoner. He used this as a threat and commanded you in the main control room to gather all the staff to the underground shelter and help you seal the entrance ... Only then did he release the prisoner.

"Not only that, he even sealed the main control room's door before he left, as if ..."

"There's no need to say 'as if'..." The next second, a hoarse voice that sounded like throat cancer interrupted gaden's words and joined in the conversation between him and Quinn."The conclusion is obvious. He did this for two reasons. Second, protect something in the main control room. "

As soon as he finished speaking, gaden and Quinn looked at him in surprise.

It was not just the two of them. Everyone in the hall had only just noticed this person's existence. It was as if this person had suddenly appeared out of thin air the moment before he spoke ...

In a place like Gotham, the only person who could do this and often did it was no doubt ... Batman.

"No matter how many times I've seen you, I'm still not used to your appearance." Gordon looked at Batman and then retorted with a tone of greeting an old friend.

"Then ..." Quinn's attitude towards Batman was not very friendly, but she still maintained basic courtesy."The world's greatest detective, I'm sure you already know why Jack did this?"

"I'm protecting you so that the prisoners can leave the asylum immediately after they're released from the cell. " "Because he needs these prisoners to run out and help him distract the police," Batman answered without thinking."If the prisoners stay in the mental hospital and spend their time on 'violence against the staff', the effect of his plan will be greatly reduced.

"As for his motive for locking down the main control room, at this stage, I can deduce two possibilities ...

"First, it's to prevent the prisoners from using the control equipment inside. If the prisoners enter the main control room, they can directly open the door to the shelter you're in. In that case, Jack's protection of you will be meaningless.

"Secondly, if he wanted to keep the surveillance footage, he would have to combine it with the first option ... If he just wanted to prevent the prisoners from using the switch to open the door, he could have just destroyed the equipment here. There was no need to seal the entrance. But he didn't do that. The reason was ... He must have had another purpose, and this purpose needed the equipment in the main control room to be functioning properly and not damaged.

"If you think about it this way ... He's most likely going to protect the hard drive that stores the video files."

Batman finished his speech in an orderly manner, which stunned Gordon, a professional policeman, and Quinn, a psychology expert.

After a long time, Gordon finally came back to his senses and said,""Uh ... Then why did he keep the surveillance videos? According to normal logic, not only should he not have kept those videos, but he should have destroyed the things that recorded his appearance and actions, right?"

What he said made sense, but it did not overthrow Batman's reasoning. It only pointed out one of the doubts.

"After we see those videos ..." Batman thought for two seconds and said,"we will naturally know what he is up to."
