Chapter 308
Under the night, a faint light shone from the office of the Cat Getan Police Department. Gordon stood by the window lighting a cigarette.
Behind him, Batman was organizing his equipment at the table. Gordon exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Seriously, having been in Cat Getan for so long, I have seen all kinds of scum—robbing, killing, taking drugs, betraying friends, betraying family... But someone like Constantine, it's my first time seeing one."
"I admit, wanting to save him is a bit difficult, but we can't let him be like this. I can't watch a person toss himself to death..."
"Even if you didn't say it, I would keep an eye on him."
Gordon turned his head, raised his eyelids, sized up Batman, and asked: "Indeed, you seem to be keeping a very close eye on him. Why? Just because he is a criminal on probation?"
"Do you know why Shiler wanted to let him go?" Batman lowered his head. He was wiping the sharp part of the Batarang.
"Actually, he had the ability to trap Constantine in a dream. Even if he didn't do that, he could have completely knocked Constantine unconscious and handed him to you, and then let him go to court."
"Go to court? Forgive my bluntness, even if he really received a very fair trial, the final result would only be being locked in a mental hospital. Look at his appearance. If you say he doesn't have a mental illness, do you believe it?"
"But I'm also quite strange. I feel that Shiler is not the kind of person who likes to find trouble for himself. He put such a big trouble into Cat Getan City. Didn't he think about how much chaos he would cause?" Gordon said somewhat confusedly.
"Obviously, he thought about it, and he is very clear. Do you think that Constantine told the truth?"
"Hmm... he should have said most of it, right? At least the part about Lawrence is true. As for the part about him and the Dream God... forget it, I'll just treat him as a lunatic..."
Batman's voice was as deep as the night outside the window. The movement of his hands paused slightly. He said: "His logic is still smooth. Mrs. Sanchez, because she was afraid she couldn't satisfy Cooper's requirements, let him take her place. He sacrificed Cooper to the demon to create a clone, and the clone went to the boarding school to stage another murder case, luring us all over..."
"But he must have hidden some important facts. Perhaps, Shiler is just waiting for him to reveal his flaws."
Gordon took a puff of smoke and slowly exhaled the smoke. He looked at the pitch-black night of Cat Getan and said: "Even magic and demons have appeared. What will be next? Angels and God?"
"God!" Jason exclaimed: "What's going on? Where is Dick???"
He jumped down from the basement door quickly, looking at the messy ground in his base. The experimental table opposite was directly overturned, the tabletop and sundries were all scattered on the ground, and the new toolbox on the side workbench also fell to the ground, with all the tools inside scattered out. More importantly, in the center of the ground, there were two pools of fresh blood.
Jason turned to Little Slider, who had just come down, and said: "Someone broke in here! Dick was kidnapped, we have to go save him!!!"
Jason's eyes were red with anxiety. In these few days, he and Dick and the group of children from the vocational school had become very good friends. Now his friend had been kidnapped in his base, and Jason was almost crazy with anxiety.
At this time, the other few people who were still waiting outside all jumped down, and all exclaimed at the tragic scene. Rocket Launcher spoke first: "It seems this is indeed a kidnapping case, and Dick even bled. We have to find him as soon as possible."
Tire sized up the situation in the room and said: "No, we are not good at this. Go call Cobblepot and tell him to come. In this kind of thing, he alone can top all of us!"
"I know his home phone number, I'll go call him!" As he spoke, Rocket Launcher climbed out of the basement entrance and rode his motorcycle to find a phone.
At this time, the night was falling, but the gloomy Cobblepot old mansion was rarely very peaceful. Since Mrs. Cobblepot was hospitalized, Cobblepot had been living alone in the old mansion. Although the new apartment had a better environment, it was still closer to the central urban area, and the location of the Cobblepot old mansion was better, making it more convenient for Cobblepot to travel between several locations.
Cobblepot was sleeping soundly in bed. Just then, a harsh telephone ring sounded. Cobblepot was still a bit dazed when he was woken up because the phone here hadn't rung for too long. Since his father passed away, no one would call here to contact them.
But Cobblepot still wiped his face, then got out of bed and went downstairs to answer the phone. Jason's somewhat anxious voice sounded on the other end: "Cobblepot! Come quickly! Dick was kidnapped!"
"Dick, didn't he go to boarding school? How could he be kidnapped?"
"Anyway, you come over first, the situation is very urgent!!"
When Cobblepot arrived at Jason's underground base and saw the messy scene, he frowned. Jason said to him: "Before, something happened at the boarding school where Dick was staying. We encountered danger when we went to find him, but fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time, and we were all fine."
"Originally, Batman sent us back to one of his strongholds, but we felt uncomfortable staying there, so we ran out. However, at that time, we consumed a lot of physical strength and felt a bit tired, so Dick didn't return to his home in the southern rich area, but slept here with us."
"After waking up, it was already very late, so we planned to eat something. He wasn't familiar with the terrain here, so we let him stay here to watch the house, and I went with Little Slider to buy food."
"At the shop we often go to, we happened to run into them who came to eat late-night snacks, so we bought food and planned to come back to eat together, but when we came back, we found that Dick was gone, this place was made like this, and there was blood on the ground..."
