Chapter 102

"So, this is the end, then..."

"The Joker has been caught, locked up in the Major Crimes Unit's prison... I can't imagine there's any room left for him to maneuver!"

"Sigh, it feels like they were still too careless this time!"

"How could they try to outgun the police and Batman?!"

"That's their bread and butter!!"

"The main thing is that Harvey risked his life to lure him out, and Gordon even faked his death to pull the wool over everyone's eyes!!"

"While the Joker was using schemes, Gordon and the others weren't stupid either!"

"The problem is, the only person on the Joker's side who could actually do anything was the Joker himself! Batman had both Harvey and Gordon!"

"But why does it feel like the Joker isn't even the slightest bit panicked about being caught..."

Inside the livestream room.

The audience sighed one after another.

Under the ruse of Gordon's faked death, even the Joker had been deceived.

And their desire to kill Harvey was so intense that they fell right into the police's trap!

If not for that.

Judging by the methods the Joker used in their previous confrontation.

The police probably wouldn't have found any effective way to keep him in check!

Batman might even have been forced to admit defeat!

But now...

With the Joker's imprisonment.

Everything is likely over!

They couldn't think of any way, inside this Major Crimes Unit prison.

In this core area of the police force!

Who could possibly break the Joker out?!

And without the Joker.

The entire underground power structure of Gotham City would likely be eroded bit by bit by Batman and the police sooner or later!

And Gordon, who had kept even his family in the dark for so long to fake his death.

Now that the Joker had finally been caught.

Was finally able to return home and reunite with his family.

But after a moment of warmth.

A phone call shattered all that beauty!

Listening to the content of the call.

Gordon’s expression changed completely.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of all the viewers. *** **CHAPTER 275**

He rushed back to the Major Crimes Unit!

"Did he confess anything?"

Facing Gordon’s inquiry.

The entire Major Crimes Unit office was silent; the lead female detective shook her head.

In the interrogation room.

Gordon entered and closed the door.

Su Chen was sitting in the interrogation seat, darkness behind him, as if he were about to be swallowed by it!

Only the light in front of the table slightly illuminated the Joker’s face.

Seeing Gordon return so soon.

Su Chen didn't seem surprised, offering a slight smile.

"Good evening, Commissioner~"

He greeted him with a sarcastic tone.

Gordon, unable to control his anger, walked straight up to Su Chen and sat down.

"Harvey Dent didn't make it home!"

Instantly!

All the viewers in front of the screen were stunned.

Only then did they understand why Gordon was so nervous and anxious!

But... could this have anything to do with the Joker?!

For a moment.

Countless viewers couldn't help but make a connection!

It seemed that ever since the Joker was caught, his expression had never shown a hint of panic!

He had always maintained this calm demeanor!

Hearing Gordon’s statement-like question.

Su Chen said as a matter of course.

"Of course he didn't~"

Suddenly!

This sentence was practically an admission that Harvey’s disappearance had to do with him!

"What did you do to him?!"

Gordon immediately demanded.

"Me? I've been here the whole time!"

Su Chen looked innocent, gesturing to his surroundings as if to illustrate.

After speaking, he raised his shackled hands.

"Who did you send to take him back?"

Su Chen pointed at the newly appointed Police Commissioner sitting before him.

He spoke with a hidden meaning.

Listening to Su Chen’s reply.

Gordon remained expressionless, but his heart sank.

Su Chen continued as if revealing a secret.

"Your men?"

"Of course, assuming they are still your men~"

With a mocking tone, Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

"And not Maroni’s lackeys."

In an instant!

Accompanied by the action of licking his lips, he stated a terrifying fact on his own!

Gordon’s heart plummeted to the bottom!

And all the viewers in front of the screen felt a chill down their spines!

Clearly...

From some point on.

Gordon’s men, that officer who took Harvey back... were no longer on the police side!

They had been completely bought off by Maroni!

And this... also explained the long-standing theory that there was a mole within the police!

So this mole...

Had been right by Gordon’s side all along! It was Gordon’s own man!

Yet he had been completely oblivious!

Even at the most critical moment when they couldn't catch the Joker.

He had personally handed over the police's trump card, Harvey Dent... to the mob!

Even though he was sitting in the light.

Gordon’s face was now somewhat shrouded in darkness.

He hadn't expected the problem to lie within himself.

And Su Chen, across from him, showed no intention of stopping.

"Do you feel frustrated, Commissioner?"

The repeated use of "Commissioner."

Felt more like a mockery stabbing into Gordon’s heart!

And Su Chen’s next sentence.

Struck directly at the conviction he had always held in fighting the darkness.

"So, you've been fighting this war all alone?"

I'm going all out today!! Aiming for 20 updates!! A minimum of 40,000 words guaranteed!!!

At the interrogation table.

Gordon’s lips moved slightly.

He seemed to want to say something, but could find no grounds for rebuttal.

Su Chen’s words were like a sharp blade, piercing deep into his heart!

They even threatened to shatter the conviction he had held for years in his fight against darkness!

The subordinates he had fought alongside had actually betrayed him—betrayed the police force!

"Don't you feel guilty about Harvey's current situation?"

Su Chen still did not give up on striking directly at Gordon’s heart.

But at the mention of Harvey.

Gordon could no longer listen, or rather, he did not want to be stung any further!

Long before this.

Harvey had warned him countless times that there were problems with the detectives under his command.

But Gordon had never taken it to heart! Not until this incident occurred!

And the consequences of his ignoring Harvey’s words... had now been visited upon Harvey himself!

Gordon looked straight into Su Chen’s eyes and asked.

"Where is he?!"
