Jason led the way with a straight waist and a deadpan face. He was wearing a khaki leather jacket, which was wide open to reveal the tight black T-shirt inside. The camouflage overalls wrapped his legs and looked slender. , A pair of Martin boots stepped on the ground and made a sound, and he responded to the gazes that swept towards him with violent eyes.
Their bluff is still very effective in the dark area. People in the dark area are bold, but they are not as brainless as the little gangsters outside. Unless you show your weakness to them, otherwise they will never easily Shoot to deal with the guy who doesn't know the details.
This also gave people like Jason some opportunities to take advantage of the loopholes. They disguised themselves as not easy to mess with and stepped into the dark area as if nothing had happened.
Jason led Aesop walking in the dark area. They came to a place that looked like an ordinary residential building. Jason took Aesop up to the second floor.
On the anti-theft door decorated with red paint, the words 'grocery store' were written in inferior white paint.
Jason knocked on the door lightly. After a while, there was a response from inside. He knocked on the door like Jason did. Jason knocked on the door twice. He cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Downs, Here's your takeaway steak order."
There was a muffled sound coming from the door. "How familiar?"
"Mid-rare without salt and pepper." Jason
"Wait a minute." Downs said.
After about half a minute, there was a crisp sound from inside the door, and the door was opened.
Standing inside was an old man wearing a gray T-shirt and shorts. His beard looked like it hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and it was messy and tied up with his hair. He was wearing a pair of round glasses with dark green eyes under the glasses.
"You haven't been here for a long time, Jason." Downs plucked his hair and smiled, but the smile was not so clear under the thick beard. "Are you still planning to come back to work?"
Jason shook his head, pulled Aesop who was standing behind him in front of him, pointed Aesop with his finger and said, "I'm here to buy something."
"Oh, don't mention this yet." Downs didn't focus on Aesop, and Aesop was not annoyed when he was ignored. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Downs quietly.
"My armory's been cleaned up without your help, and my babes are in a terrible state. You really don't want to come back and help? I'll give you some extra money."
Jason supported Aesop's shoulders with both hands, Aesop frowned indistinctly, and did not shake off Jason's hand. "No, I'm busy taking care of the cubs now."
"Boy?" Downs was willing to cast a little gaze on Aesop at this moment, he glanced at Aesop lightly and then looked away. "I remember you were only 14 years old...?"
Downs gave a soft 'oh', glanced at Jason with ambiguous eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Young man, you are more open than I used to be. But as someone who has taken care of you for a few months Elder, I still want to remind you, don't do something that needs to be responsible at an age where you can't be responsible."
As soon as Downs's words came out, Aesop's and Jason's complexions became uneasy. Aesop's face turned black, while Jason's face turned a little reddish.
Jason coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, sir, I won't do such a thing."
Aesop glared at Jason. Is this what he should explain?
Jason was unreliable, Aesop could only explain himself, he shook off Jason's hands on his shoulders, and said dryly: "I am not his son, we are partners."
Jason wasn't embarrassed when his hands were thrown away. He blinked, walked around Downs and walked into the store, picked up the carved knife that Downs had placed on the table, and played with it.
Jason put down the knife and picked up a lighter, turning the delicate lighter with his slender fingers. "Yes, that's what he said."
Downs nodded knowingly, his creased fingers picked up Aesop's chin, and raised the other's head. Downs' finger chrome on Aesop's immature skin made Aesop feel a little uncomfortable.
He frowned slightly and wanted to brush away the other party's dirty fingers, but he thought that he needed the other party's help, so it's better to be more polite now.
Downs grabbed Aesop's mask directly, and wanted to reach out to remove the bandage on Aesop's face that looked like a second-year-old costume.
Jason took half a step in time and grabbed Downs' deadly hand. If he let Downs continue like this, the brat would try his best to get revenge on him if he got in a hurry.
Even if Aesop can't beat the current Downs, based on Jason's understanding of Aesop these days, Aesop is never afraid to compete with someone stronger than himself.
Downs withdrew his hand, looked at Aesop's face carefully, and said, "You went to pick up a beautiful kid who looks like Bruce Wayne as a partner, and I think it's more like a child bride?"
Jason raised his head abruptly and stared at Downs with an expression of disbelief, noticing the ridicule hidden in Downs' eyes, Jason's face was completely red, and the red glow looked very beautiful on his fair cheeks.
"No no no, stop joking, I'm not gay." Jason said dryly.
"Hahahahahahaha." Downs smiled heartily, and he patted Jason on the shoulder with his palm.
Jason glanced at Aesop secretly, just in time to meet Aesop's meaningful eyes, Jason immediately looked back, he thought a little bit dumbfounding, he must not have been misunderstood.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Downs wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked hoarsely, "Do you need anything here?"
"Yes, I need some materials for making explosives, or if you sell a single superheated explosive that you have made, it is also possible." Aesop's voice was flat, completely unaffected by Downs, who was almost completely self-directed and acted just now. farce effect.
"I have everything you want here. I think you will know the rules in my store if you come to me." Downs said, "You need to exchange something equivalent to a bomb."
Jason's blue-gray eyes with his head down reflected the dusty ground. There is no such rule in the store. This is not an equivalent exchange. This is just an ordinary black market store that sells some materials that cannot be sold outside. weapons and such.
Regarding Downs' lie, Jason pointed his finger on Aesop's back calmly, reminding him that it was a lie, and he didn't have to worry about whether Aesop would understand, they imagined that they would encounter danger before they came to the dark area The final solution, just in case there are several codes between them, like the one just now means 'wrong'.
Aesop's childish face was replaced with an old-fashioned smile that didn't match his age. He simply sat down on the sofa next to him. His legs were crossed, and his hands were folded on his lap. The black clothes, but he forced out a strong temperament.
"I knew it before I came here. For example, if you pay money, you can exchange for corresponding props. This is just an ordinary black market shop, but I have to abide by the fancy rules you specially prepared for me." Aesop
"Oh?" Downs raised his eyebrows with interest, and sat opposite Aesop.
Downs didn't think too much about Aesop's natural sitting on his sofa. Originally, the sofa was placed here for some guests who needed to be interviewed.
Aesop sat down very naturally, obviously seeing through some things, such as Downs's nonsense just now.
"I don't know if you are interested in intelligence, sir?" Aesop asked slowly.
"It depends on the information." Downs said almost without hesitation: "I don't need information like how much a certain grandma spent on vegetables, whether she stole them or not. of."
"Of course not, we all understand the rules. In order to show my sincerity, I can tell you the information directly." Aesop blinked with a sincere expression, he paused and continued: "As for whether you think this information is worth it or not?" It's your business, I believe you won't bully a child, right?"
"Tomorrow morning at 08:30, GCPD will escort those guys from the Sea Island Factory to Heimen Prison, and they will go through customs inspection at [-]:[-]." Aesop said the information he knew.
In Gotham, the most indispensable thing is people, and the most lacking thing is also people.
Like Joker or Penguin, one enslaves the crowd with faith, and the other drives the crowd with money. In Gotham, there are not many such villains.
Most badass leaders lack men, especially those recruited through special channels, who are generally loyal and quiet.
Aesop guessed that the incident of the island factory was suddenly discovered after being kept secret for so long. The loss caused by the behind-the-scenes instructions must be not small. In addition to being angry, they must try their best to reduce the loss of personnel.
So the value of this intelligence lies here.
"I'm curious how you knew they would pass through customs at [-]:[-]?" Downs asked curiously, regardless of the beginning, how did he determine the time between them?
Aesop raised his lips to reveal his usual cute smile. "I actually 'accidentally' had all the travel times recorded on an officer's computer at the GCPD station and I 'accidentally' glanced at it."
Downs nodded knowingly. He could understand the meaning of Aesop's words. He somehow stole the internal information in GCPD.
"How is it? Is this information worth it?" Aesop looked up at Downs with his eyes wide open.
Originally, Downs just wanted to embarrass Aesop and see what he would do, but he didn't expect to get such a big piece of information from this smart kid.Downs's face was almost broken from laughter, and he stretched out his hand. "Of course, you can get an overheated pulse bomb. It's a new item. It's a little bit cheaper for you because you're a kid from Jason's family."
Hearing what Downs said, Aesop also laughed, and he held Downs' hand. "Happy Trading."
Aesop didn't expect that he could get a pulse bomb. The power of the pulse bomb is much higher than that of ordinary bombs, so he doesn't have to worry that one bomb is not enough to send all those guys to the sky.
As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Jason watched this game mixed with transactions.Downs thought he had calculated Aesop, and he thought he had made a big deal.
But Jason knew that all of this was Aesop's scheme. Starting from actively catering to Downs' words, the initiative seemed to be in Downs' hands, but in fact it was firmly held by Aesop.
The intelligence was sold to Downs on purpose by Aesop. Because the police at the customs station have served there all year round, their equipment has not been replaced for a long time, and they do repetitive things every day, causing most of the police to be very lax.
The customs police were unable to deal with a vicious attack. Aesop even emphasized that at [-]:[-], the criminal's companion would arrive early to rescue his companion. At [-]:[-], the bomb that Aesop managed to get onto the car It will explode, blowing up those guys and the people who came to the rescue together.
Kill two birds with one stone.
If Aesop hadn't told Jason that they were going to blow them up to the sky before, Jason could have guessed this based on the conversation between Aesop and Downs just now, otherwise he would just be dumbfounded.
Jason glanced at Aesop, who was holding hands with Downs and smiling brightly. What a scary kid.
After the transaction was over, they didn't stay long and went back to the house.
Aesop lowered his head, his blue eyes stared at the needle and thread in his hand without blinking, he was doing the most important part of his plan - using needle and thread to sew the bomb into the rabbit, he cocked his fingers and threaded the thread into the needle, With a slight tremor, a sharp needle pierced his finger.
Aesop hissed softly, red blood dripped from his finger, he put down the needle and thread and licked his finger expressionlessly, then picked up the needle again and prepared to continue working.
Obviously he saw that it was easy for Peggy to do this, she could even sew clothes under the dim light at night, there was no reason why he couldn't.
Aesop accidentally stabbed his finger again while he was distracted, and blood flowed down from the piece of meat next to the place where the bleeding had just stopped.
Jason finally couldn't see Aesop's stupidity anymore. He couldn't believe that a cunning and brave boy who could sneak into the enemy's territory alone could not do such a trivial thing well.
Jason snatched the needle and thread from Aesop's hand, and at the same time glared at Aesop who was about to snatch the needle and thread back. His fingers grabbed the white thread and turned it slightly towards the needle hole, and threaded the thread into the needle.
Aesop compares thumbs. "You are so strong."
The corner of Jason's mouth twitched, and he returned the needle and thread to Aesop. "Shut up," he thought. No man likes to hear compliments like that.
In the past, he and Ilsen didn't have so many worn out clothes and had to mend them by themselves, and they became proficient after being stabbed a few times.
With the help of Jason's threading, Aesop moved much faster, and he sewed the bomb into the pink rabbit with a few swishes.
The smiling pink rabbit doll has a sunflower on its ear, which looks very cute, but the crooked white scar on its stomach must be ignored, which makes it look a little weird, and even creepy when you look at it for a long time.
Aesop calmly put down the light blue plaid skirt on the rabbit to cover the hideous scar, it was still the same cute one.
...
...
Aesop held the rabbit with one hand, and with the other hand, he handed the certificate that Gordon gave him to the policeman at the gate. It was a young policeman with a cropped cut, and his eyes still had a brilliance that had not been wiped out by reality. "Here you are, sir."
Dick, who specially asked for leave to help before being transferred to Bruven Sea, took back the baton in his hand when he heard Aesop's name, straightened his jacket and walked towards Aesop.
The police guarding the gate accepted Aesop's certificate, and the child was the child whom Chief James Gordon reminded him to take special care of. "Please wait a moment, kid, I'll take you in right away."
He had to wait for a police officer who could take over before he could take the kids in, and AWOL was not an option.
