Gotham Dark Godfather

Chapter 75 The Mayor’s Invitation

After all, Zhou Hao, who had been working hard all night, fell into a drowsy sleep until dawn. After all, he drank with Deadshot and had a fight with Catwoman. Anyone else would be exhausted. ! But who would have thought that before dawn, the alarm clock on the phone at home would ring on time.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Zhou, the detective of the Arkham District Police Department?" The voice on the phone was particularly unfamiliar. His tone sounded very polite and decent, but there was an obvious indifference to him.

Zhou Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes, feeling agitated, and shouted impatiently at the phone:

"My surname is Zhou, yes, but please don't call me Detective during off-duty hours, and don't wake me up when I'm sleeping."

After saying that, I planned to hang up the phone directly, and then find a way to take a day off the next day to recover at home.Unexpectedly, the other end of the phone seemed to have known his attitude, and still said calmly:

"This is the mayor's office. A serious case occurred in Gotham at 2:23 last night. The sub-director of your district has recommended you to take over the case. Please rush to Arkham Asylum immediately."

Zhou Hao, who was half asleep, suddenly became excited when he heard these words.

Invited by the mayor?Division Chief Weaver?And Arkham Asylum?

These three terms are enough to give Zhou Hao a headache at any time, but now they appear at the same time, which shows that something is serious.Zhou Hao quickly got up, ignoring the wounds on his feet that were not healed yet. He quickly washed and tidied up, called a taxi in a hurry, and rushed towards Arkham Asylum.

Zhou Hao, who was sitting in the car, carefully recalled the contents of the phone call while holding an undercooked toast in his mouth.First of all, the occurrence of serious cases is nothing new. Such things happen almost every minute in Gotham, so it is really not a problem.But on the contrary, this case was actually recommended to me by Branch Chief Weaver. The problems here have to be mentioned. After all, he and I have already begun to fight openly and secretly. The other party asked me to handle the case. In all likelihood, it was not safe. Kindhearted.

"Well...Jason told me before that Weaver's second move against me was to give me problems, and now it seems that he is going to do it again." Zhou Hao frowned and thought: "Huh , Is this guy really good at calculating? On the one hand, he took advantage of Chief Lobu's business trip to attack me, so that even though Lobu was thousands of miles away, he couldn't help me! On the other hand, he actually brought the case to the public Where is the director... It is indeed a Hongmen Banquet, I will have to be careful no matter what happens later, and I will not fall into his trap!"

After a while, Zhou Hao came to the legendary Arkham Asylum. This is the most famous place in Gotham, a dangerous place that is forever cursed.Back when the place was being built, the hospital's architect went insane and hacked his workers to death.The founder, Dr. Arkham, also suffered misfortune. The severely mentally ill patient he was treating, Mad Dog Martin, suddenly escaped from prison and went berserk, killing Dr. Arkham's wife, children, and children.

This incident greatly stimulated Dr. Arkham, and he later personally changed the general hospital named after him into a lunatic asylum, a place dedicated to treating serious criminal tendencies and criminals with mental illnesses, and his first The first patient was Mad Dog Martin.

Six months later, Mad Dog Martin was tied to the bed and electrocuted alive.

Although the incident was ultimately judged to be a medical malpractice, Dr. Arkham's mind became increasingly worse and more paranoid. As a result, he became a patient in his own lunatic asylum, where he eventually died of old age.There are still legends that Arkham's soul can still be seen wandering in the deserted garden of the asylum.

In any case, when Zhou Hao walked here, he could clearly feel the depression and gloom.Even though Arkham Asylum, with the support of the Wayne Group, has become the best psychiatric treatment center in the United States, it also has modern security and medical equipment.But looking at the high-walled obsidian gargoyles and the solemn and simple Gothic buildings, Zhou Hao always felt that he felt very uncomfortable here.

"In the future, this place will hold a large number of villains such as the Joker, Harley Quinn, and Two-Face," Zhou Hao thought as he walked: "But no matter how many criminals and madmen come, there will always be an empty room for Bats." Get ready! He is also a lunatic trapped in his own inner demons. He is the exact opposite of the Joker and belongs in Arkham Asylum."

While Zhou Hao was thinking wildly, on the second floor of Arkham Asylum, Gotham Police Chief James Gordon and his partner Harvey Bullock were silently sizing up the young man crossing the court.

"Ah ha, that old dog Weaver only sent a lame guy to report? Did he think he was playing Assimodo in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"? Is there no one in the entire Arkham District police force? Is it ready to send?" Harvey Bullock joked with an exaggerated expression.

He is an old man in the Gotham Police Department, even older than Gordon. He has rich experience and outstanding abilities, but he also has many shortcomings. His living habits are sloppy, slovenly, and his private life is terrible.To sum it up simply in one sentence, although I smoke, drink, swear, and play with women, I don’t need Batman to foil the Joker’s conspiracy ("The Long Halloween" comic, the Gotham Police Department was Bullock was one of the few police officers to escape unscathed from attacks by clay-faced men, scarecrows and other villains).

Gordon glanced at Zhou Hao downstairs with complicated eyes. Although he was very sure that this young man had secretly helped him, now he felt more and more that he couldn't see through him, like a bottomless pool. Full of secrets that he cannot see.

"You can't say that. Maybe he was injured on the job." Gordon said calmly: "After all, Arkham District is the most complicated place for security. Being able to work here will be a great exercise."

Bullock sneered and said nonchalantly: "Humph, Gordon, are you being naive again? The case that happened this time is very weird. Loeb is not in Gotham. The mayor has clearly stated that he wants the most powerful police officers from each district. Come and deal with it. No matter how stupid Weaver is, he can't use a young detective who has just been transferred to make up the number. He is obviously taking this opportunity to make him disgraced in this case and then use the mayor's hands to clean it up. Tsk Tsk tsk, so damn cunning and despicable!”

"Maybe you are half right, my old man! Weaver may have some bad intentions." Gordon took off his glasses, wiped them and put them on again, and said with certainty: "But this guy named Zhou Hao, You’re not a useless rookie, even if this case is very mysterious and weird, I bet it won’t be a problem for Zhou Hao in the end.”

"Then I'll follow, a bottle of rum." Bullock took out a small wine bottle from his arms and took a sip.I really don't understand that my partner would think so highly of this mediocre Chinese young man.
