American comic Gotham, the sheriff of Arkham

Chapter 64 The Birth of the Joker

Jenny died. She was electrocuted when she was testing a bottle warmer and the old electrical wires short-circuited.

The person who called the police was the landlady, Mrs. Burgess, who was holding in her arms a white long-haired cat as old as herself.

Jack stood alone at the door of that "home" and looked inside for a long time, and did not leave until dark.

"Oh my god, I thought you weren't coming, put it on!"

At night, by the sewer, the two robbers saw Jack coming and quickly put the red hood on his head.

"Wait, what should I do if I can't see? Shouldn't I open a crack? It smells so pungent."

Jack said in a muffled voice while wearing a hood.

"Just turn it around. There's a double-sided lens inside so you can see. As for the strong smell, just bear with it."

One of the robbers said with a smile that they bought the mask from a homeless man in Arkham and it was a real Red Hood.

"Stop talking nonsense and move forward quickly. Are you sure you still remember the way?" Another robber pushed Jack rudely.

The sewage canal here emits an unpleasant smell because of the discharge of chemical wastewater, and the money is waving at them, so how can they waste time?

"This way." Jack walked in front as a guide.

Everything is going according to plan.

But today, they are not the only ones at the ACE Chemical Factory. There are also police officers who come to destroy the drug manufacturing factory.

This chemical plant that has been shut down is the best cover for some gang members. They produce some drugs and even liquid bombs here...

"Who!" A policeman saw Jack and his group quietly walking by. The red hood was too conspicuous.

"Why are there police here?"

When the two robbers saw the policeman holding a flashlight, they directly took out the revolvers they bought from the black market and started shooting at that direction.

The sound of gunfire, bang bang bang, shattered the silence of the chemical plant.

"Woof woof woof..." The police dogs also started barking.

Sheriff Gordon, who was commanding the scene, knew something was wrong when he heard the gunshots. The gang members who were producing drugs inside the factory also reacted.

"Action! Action!" The command sounded from the pager.

The police suddenly appeared nearby. Although Jack and his friends were not their target, they still felt guilty.

The two robbers fired their guns until they had used up all the bullets, then turned around and ran, leaving Jack here.

According to their original plan, they were going to leave Jack behind as a scapegoat, otherwise they wouldn't have put the red hood on him.

"This is N6. I found the Red Hood here! I repeat, I found the Red Hood!"

The police's shouts were heard on the police channel.

The siege of the chemical plant has been completed, and the police are attacking it, with police dogs rushing in, biting and biting.

Gunshots, shouting, chaos.

Outside, Gordon heard the Red Hood's information and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

In this situation, he has no way to get more help!

The policeman who was holding a pistol and shooting at the "Red Hood" suddenly felt a whirring sound above his head and looked up.

A huge black bat flew over his head and landed on an iron rack on the side. It was Batman!

The desperate "Red Hood" climbed up the iron frame and hurriedly ran towards a place where he could escape according to his memory.

With a clang, Batman grabbed the rope and jumped directly up, landing on the path that Red Hood had to take to escape.

"Oh my God, are you punishing me? No, no!" Red Hood screamed and turned around and ran away.

Batman was about to fire his grappling hook to grab him when an explosion occurred in a factory building in the distance. A guy who had taken too many drugs accidentally shot the liquid bomb.

This delay allowed the Red Hood to run away. Batman looked up at the barrels filled with chemical materials and flew up with his grappling gun. He had already seen the floor plan of the chemical plant when he came.

Red Hood can't escape!

Batman flew to a high place and landed on top of a water tank, looking down at the iron corridor below.

There is no one, no one on the left, no one on the right...

Batman frowned and jumped onto the water jug ​​next to him, but still didn't see the Red Hood.

But I saw a pair of leather shoes with the soles broken off, with the laces hanging on an iron rack next to a huge sewage pool, as if... it had fallen down.

Batman looked down at the cesspool. It was very large, as high as two stories. It was round and looked like a bucket when viewed from a high place.

There were foam rolling inside, and the pale green chemical liquid was twisting like a ghost face. This was a sewage pool specially used to handle some dangerous chemicals.

Jack sank to the bottom of the sewage pool, his mask filled with corrosive chemicals, his skin was corroded and painful, as if there were millions of ants biting his body and soul.

He struggled to wave his hands in the water, and while waving his hands, he touched the drain valve that the workers needed to activate when cleaning the sewage pool.

The circular valve opened and sucked him in like a whirlpool, and the amount of water in the sewage pool decreased rapidly.

Three minutes later, outside in the sewage ditch.

Jack crawled out vomiting, his skin corroded by the chemicals and turned pale. If the factory had not been closed for a long time, the chemicals inside would have evaporated.

Now all that was left of him was a pile of bones sinking to the bottom of the water.

“No…ah…hahahaha, ahhahahaha.”

Jack knelt on the ground, clutching his hair tightly with both hands, crying and laughing with his head raised. His throat, damaged by the chemicals, became extremely sharp.

"Hahahahahahahahaha, Jenny, why are you so serious? Smile, smile, hahahahahahaha."

The next day, Arkham Police Station.

"Red Hood? No, no, Chief Gordon, I've already told you on the phone that Naegi is out on vacation!"

Jerry, who had just returned from vacation, was wearing a detective's jacket and uniform, sitting on a chair, and helplessly spread his hands and said:

"You also know that Naegi is injured, and he has taken a period of leave to recover, travel, and relax."

"Where did he go?"

Gordon sat in the chair next to him, looking at the photos taken last night. After arresting the gang members, the police dog found a red hood next to the sewer and identified it.

It was confirmed that this was the Red Hood Gang that had caused a huge disturbance in Coventry and robbed a huge amount of property.

The gang boss hasn't been caught yet. After seeing the hood last night, Gordon reopened the case.

I originally wanted to come over and see what Miaomu thought, or to give some advice and help, but... he was not there.

"Star City! We have two friends there. He can go there and bring the person back. Star City is also a good place for recuperation." Jerry nodded.

Gordon also nodded. The environment there was indeed more suitable for recuperation than Gotham, but he had to investigate the case himself.

Thinking of this, Gordon turned his head and looked at Jerry, who was tall and burly. This look made Jerry suddenly feel something was wrong.

"You have been temporarily transferred to the Major Crimes Unit. Help investigate the Red Hood case. We are short of manpower over there."

Gordon said somewhat helplessly that the serious crime team he was in charge of was now so busy that they were out of breath.

"I……"

"You can get an extra salary in the major crime squad."

Gordon stated his conditions before Jerry could refuse, but he didn't mention that the work of the homicide squad was three times that of an ordinary police officer.
