[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

Chapter 41: Gordon's heart skipped a beat.

Batman is not at all surprised to meet Nunnally Lampelucci at the police station.

Rather, he already knew that there would be such a day.

Look at how many times she went to the police station during the five years of college in Philadelphia. In relatively peaceful Philadelphia, she can get VIP treatment at the Philadelphia Police Headquarters (PPD). This is Gotham, where the most important thing is crime and accidents. , with her accident physique, she had been here for three months before entering the police station for the first time, which surprised him more.

While it's not fitting to say that, when Batman sees a blind girl in a wheelchair at the Gotham Police Department (GCPD), he feels an eerie sense of relief.

--finally come.

There is nothing new about the reason why Nunnally Lampelucci came to the police station. She happened to encounter a bank robbery when she went to the bank to make a deposit, and then all the hapless robbers were released by Sakiko within 15 minutes. fall.As the main witnesses, the two of them were taken to the GCPD to take notes.

The reason why Batman will be in the police station is nothing new. Recently, a killer who attacked others with a frozen weapon appeared in Gotham. He is searching for his clues, so he came to the police station to exchange information with Commissioner Gordon.

"Sorry, excuse me."

Since this bank robbery is also a big case-yes, despite the crazy amount of major crimes in Gotham, this kind of bank robbery is still a big case-as police chief, James · Gordon still needs to see the situation.So after he said this sorry to Batman, he left the office and went to ask the witness himself.

What surprised Batman was James Gordon's attitude towards Nunnally Lampelucci.

He stayed there for 3 minutes when he saw the girl.This abnormality even caught the attention of Harvey Bullock, a senior police detective of GCPD and Director Gordon's old partner, even walked over, patted Gordon from behind calmly, and asked him, "Are you okay?" Bar?"

"No, it's nothing." James Gordon hastily stroked his beard with his hands, and shook his head hastily, "It's nothing... just... some accidents."

He called to Renee Montoya, who was passing by, and whispered to her, "Pour a cup of hot coffee to the girl over there, yes, it's the girl in the wheelchair."

"Understood, Jim." Officer Montoya nodded, and looked at Commissioner Gordon with some strangeness, "Is that girl an acquaintance of yours?"

"No." Gordon glanced at the girl again, and then looked away. "She just looks like a victim of a case I handled in the past. You know, it happened when I was still in the Chicago police force."

Many people in the police department know the resume of James Gordon. Renee Montoya is one of the unlucky policemen who were dispatched to Gotham for exposing the corruption within the Chicago police force.So she just nodded, patted Commissioner Gordon on the shoulder reassuringly, and went to bring a cup of hot coffee to the girl in the wheelchair as promised.

"Let Montoya take care of her transcript." Gordon whispered to Bullock, "Send her back if there is no accident."

"it is good."

Harvey Bullock nodded too.Out of consideration for his old partner, the tall, fat, sloppy man didn't ask any more questions, but just patted Gordon on the shoulder and raised his chin towards his office.

"Go ahead and deal with your official duties. I'm watching over here. I'll tell you if you have any questions."

"Then it's hard work for you."

Director Gordon nodded, turned and returned to his office.

"What's wrong with Nunnally Lampelucci?"

The sudden male voice in the dark startled Gordon. The old policeman whose hair was already graying suddenly turned his head around and raised his eyebrows at Batman who was still in the shadows.

"Why are you still here?" He asked strangely.

Ninja Turning Nowhere Batman: "..."

"Oh, I mean..." Commissioner Gordon stroked his red hair, "I'm just not used to you being here when I come back."

As if he knew how strange it sounded to him, James Gordon added.

"I mean, you understand, don't say that I'm going away for a while, every time I look back, you're gone."

"... What's wrong with Nunnally Lampelucci?"

Batman didn't want to talk to James Gordon about his disrespectful behavior of always disappearing before he could finish his sentence.Batman chose to ignore Gordon's veiled protest and repeated the previous question even more disrespectfully.

"Her matter should have nothing to do with the topic we discussed earlier."

James Gordon declined to answer the question.

—he was resisting the reveal of Nunnally Lampelucci's identity.

Batman verified his guess from Gordon's expression.

"She is from the Britannia family, the seventh daughter who was declared dead." Batman directly revealed the secret that Gordon was trying to hide, "You said she was the victim of a case you once handled …you took over the terrorist attack on Britannia 15 years ago when you were a police officer in Chicago.”

——I was also one of the police officers who responded to the tragedy that happened in Chicago 12 years ago.

What James Gordon said to Euphemia three years ago came back to Batman's mind again.

"So what do you want to know?"

James Gordon folded his arms and crossed his chest, a typical defensive move.He looked at Batman disapprovingly.

"She has nothing to do with the mess of Gotham, a little girl who has been through what she has been through, and now that she seems to have started anew, there is no need to drag her back into the shadow of the past."

"She is involved in another case." Batman said briefly and forcefully. "I suspect that Britannia is planning a big conspiracy in Gotham, and she is a key person in it. all the details of the case."

After James Gordon stroked his hair again and wiped his face vigorously, he gave up with a sigh.

"Okay." He leaned tiredly on his desk and began to recall the past 15 years ago. "At that time, I was a member of the Chicago Police Force. One day we received 911..."

To this day, James Gordon still cannot forget that day.

On that day 15 years ago, he happened to be on duty. After 911 received the police, James Gordon and other colleagues drove to the scene.A private mansion in Brittany, an exquisite building dubbed the "Palace of Aries" by the media.But when they got there, it was a mess.

The terrified crowd, the shattered glass after being shot, the bullet holes and shell casings all over the steps, the still flowing plasma... and the woman lying on the ground.

The black-haired woman was lying there, the large-caliber bullets left countless wounds on her body, and a large pool of blood accumulated under her body.Under her body, a calf still wearing a small leather shoe twitched silently.

It was a leg that belonged to a little girl.

"When we arrived, my mother had no pulse or breathing." James Gordon took a deep breath before he could continue, "She was shot 37 times, and she protected her daughter until she died. It took a lot of effort to remove the mother's body from the daughter's body."

He still can't forget that scene.

The girl with the twin ponytails opened her eyes wide in a daze, and opened her arms blankly, as if she couldn't understand what happened. Her small body was stained red with blood, and she didn't know if it was her mother's blood or hers. Her own blood, Gordon had to look closer to find that her legs and abdomen were pierced by bullets, and her whole body was twitching, and pink blood froth rushed out as soon as she opened her mouth .

Gordon still remembers that he knelt down, grabbed her hand that stretched out unconsciously, and said "it's okay" and "hold on" to her over and over again, trying in vain to save her life.

"The medical team arrived very quickly, arriving almost at the same time as us, and picked her up immediately." James Gordon took off his glasses and pinched his eyebrows, "I don't know if it should be called luck, the scene of the crime It is very close to the largest private hospital of the Britannia Group, they have the best equipment and the best doctors ... But even so, she has not been out of danger."

Batman listened in silence.

James Gordon wiped his face again before he could continue.

"There are strange things everywhere in that case. Every private residence of the Brittany family has a top-notch security system, and there are also retired special forces bodyguards, but that day, only that day, their bodyguards were transferred away. , and the security system was weirdly down. Charles D. Brittania wasn't there that day, but his alibi was also somewhat flimsy. For at least an hour, he said he was in the office Work alone, but no one can testify against him."

"And you failed to pursue that case," Batman whispered.

"Yeah, because it involved terrorist attacks, the follow-up investigations were handed over to the FBI and the anti-terrorism team. The local police in Chicago are only responsible for cooperation."

When James Gordon said this, he suddenly stopped very strangely.

Batman narrowed his eyes and said in a confident tone: "But you also have your own guesses."

"No, it's just that something has always made me feel very..." Commissioner Gordon paused for a while, then spread his hand and passed the word, "...We went to the hospital later, when she was still there Rescue, so we asked her father some questions. He was in the hospital, talking to the doctor, and we walked over to see if he had time to discuss the case with us, and then I heard…”

A very unhappy expression appeared on James Gordon's face.I don't know what he heard that made him show such a weird look.

Batman was silent, waiting for Gordon to speak.

"I heard Charles ask the doctor a very strange thing." Gordon frowned deeply, "He asked the doctor if her uterus was damaged."

As a father of two, Gordon still can't forget the conversation he heard in that moment.

"Is her uterus damaged?" 』

"No, but her stomach and spleen..."

"That's good. 』

"Can you imagine?" James Gordon shook his head, "A father only cares about his six-year-old daughter's uterus when she is attacked like this? Her legs are shot through, and they have to Without replacing her kneecaps and part of her tibia with artificial bones, she would never be able to stand up again. And the gunshot wound in her abdomen, where the bullet shrapnel exploded, her spleen and stomach were damaged. It is a miracle that she survived."

Speaking of this, Gordon's voice was unconsciously a little angry.

"As a father, he only cares about her womb at this time?"

"……………………"

Batman was as silent as a volcano.

It was a while before he asked another question.

"You said that when you arrived, she was looking at you with her eyes open?"

His voice was as low as crawling out of hell.

"Her eyes were fine then?"

……

……

……

On the other hand, Ada had finished her record at the police station and returned to her home.She was sitting in the study drinking tea when she heard the sound of the door opening and turned around.

"Sakiko?" she asked.

"Do not."

What came into my ears was an unfamiliar voice—the voice of a boy.

"I'm here to greet you, Nunnally."

The author has something to say:

At the end, the classic scene reappears.

That's right!We're breaking into the Brittany branch!Master come on!It's up to you to save the world! ! !

PS: In the Batman and Robin comics, Director Gordon sat in front of the Batlight and said to the Nightwing version of Batman, "I'm just not used to you being here when I look back." It's really funny and sad.
