American comics: Only I know the plot

Chapter 11 A Sudden Realization

Police cars with sirens blaring drove recklessly through Gotham's main streets, passing through the city's bustling downtown area, and pedestrians on both sides seemed unfazed by the sight.

For a city like Gotham, known for its "simple and honest people," it would be a huge joke if the police were ever idle.

Thanks to the officers' exceptional performance, the journey, which normally takes 20 minutes, was completed in less than 10 minutes.

Before the police car had even come to a complete stop, Li Wei opened the door and jumped out.

Before he could even thank the police officer, Li Wei rushed up the stairs.

Gordon watched as Levi dashed into the building, feeling quite surprised.

Although he had only known Li Wei for less than 48 hours, he always felt that Li Wei was completely at ease and in control of everything.

I don't know what he discovered that made him act so strangely.

Despite his confusion, Gordon followed Levi into the building.

Although Gordon was older, his regular training allowed him to quickly catch up with Levi.

The man, who was locked up in the detention area for slaughtering pigs without a knife, felt nauseous from the stench emanating from the burly man next to him.

The game "Second World" is indeed fun, but the experience is too realistic, as if you have really entered another dimension.

He went to Gotham's red-light district last night and even got a discount because of his good looks.

That real experience remains vivid in his memory to this day.

However wonderful the last experience was, this one was just as terrible.

"Officer, could you separate me from this guy?"

Looking at the police officers beside him, the man, who was butchering a pig without a knife, mustered up his courage and made a request.

"Shut up, you bastard! If you give in any more time, I'll put you all in an even smaller cage!"

The police officer looked disgusted and had no liking for the guy who robbed the old lady.

After being scolded by the police, he shrank back blankly, like someone who doesn't carry a knife when butchering pigs.

To be fair, what he did was indeed not very ethical.

However, it's just a game, at best a relatively realistic motion-sensing game.

As a player, he naturally had to do his best to pass the game, especially since he had already planned to return the money to the old lady that night.

Just as Li Wei and Gordon were thinking about this, they saw the stairwell at the end of the detention room and rushed up the stairs.

The two looked so hurried that he was excited; he had more news to brag about.

[Slaughtering Pigs Without a Knife]: "Brothers, I've noticed that the Prophet and Police Chief Gordon are back. They're rushing around as if something urgent has happened."

【Riding a pig to watch the sunset】: "That shouldn't be the case. My residence is near the Gotham Bridge. Just now, the police were clearing vehicles from the bridge."

The police officers at the scene looked very happy, which meant the clown's threat had been resolved.

In an apartment building near the Gotham Bridge, a man in his thirties is looking around with binoculars.

From his perspective, the bridge had been reopened to traffic, and the police officers responsible for directing traffic were all beaming with happy smiles.

"What's going on? Could there be some new threat?"

"Yeah, so much has happened in Gotham in just two days. This dungeon is way too dangerous..."

...

The chat channel was buzzing with activity, but none of it had anything to do with Li Wei.

He was staring intently at the map, lost in thought, while Gordon stood anxiously to the side, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Li Wei's thoughts.

He had just received a call from a bomb disposal expert and knew that the so-called explosives on the bridge were just a decoy.

After learning about this, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

But when his gaze swept over Li Wei, who looked serious, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart; perhaps he really could bring about a miracle.

The clock on the wall ticked away as Li Wei looked at the map in front of him, eliminating possible locations one by one.

The Joker's clue in the morning was "history," and the place where the bomb was found was indeed a place where some events that changed Gotham's history had occurred.

He had ruled out all the places, but he still didn't know where else would best fit the criteria.

"Where exactly could it be...?"

Li Wei rubbed his temples, slightly relieving the fatigue caused by excessive thinking.

I glanced casually at the clock on the wall and noticed that the minute hand had reached the '11' position.

It's almost 9 o'clock in just 5 minutes, the bomb is about to explode...

The thought of innocent civilians being killed filled Li Wei with both anger and a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Where on earth will this guy put the bomb?!"

He slammed his fist on the table in anger, sending the coffee cup he had left there that morning flying.

The remaining coffee flowed like a brown line along the map, finally stopping abruptly at the location of the police station.

Looking at the location of the police station on the map, Li Wei felt a flash of inspiration.

Last night, the police station was attacked, and Li Wei subconsciously overlooked the possibility that a bomb had been planted there.

Now that I think about it carefully, the police department has also played a pivotal role in Gotham's history.

Although most of the time, the police department is only responsible for cleaning up the area.

However, it is undeniable that the police department plays a crucial role in combating ordinary crime.

After all, not everyone can be a superhuman, and Batman alone cannot possibly combat all the criminals in Gotham.

"Gordon, is anything unusual at the police station today?"

Gordon was taken aback by Li Wei's words, wondering why he asked that.

However, after realizing what he meant, she immediately answered his question: "Yesterday...afterwards, the police station was under martial law, and no strangers approached..."

No, that's not entirely true. We arrested some criminals this morning, you know.

Gordon's words confirmed Levi's suspicions: "Are there any particularly unusual people among those we brought back today?"

What I mean is, the reason for their arrest doesn't seem quite normal.

"Abnormal? If that's the case, there are indeed two people who are rather abnormal."

Gordon thought for a moment and then began to introduce the criminals to Li Wei, briefly explaining what he considered to be unusual circumstances.

"There are two criminals who are acting strangely today. One is a young man named Jess. According to our investigation, he graduated from Gotham University and had an excellent academic record."

But this morning, when I was out on patrol, I saw this guy rob an old lady. I really can't understand what happened to make him change so much.

Without a doubt, the Jess Gordon was referring to was the one who "kills without a knife." The reason this guy changed so much was, of course, because of his idea of ​​increasing his reputation by doing bad things.

This guy is very unusual, but he's not the result Li Wei needs.

"Is there another one? Tell me about it."

"The other one is Fox, who was locked up with Jess. This guy is a drunkard."

According to the officers who arrested him, he attacked them when they were passing a convenience store, and that's how he was brought back.

Strangely, this guy still doesn't seem to have sobered up, and we have no idea how much he drank...

Time was running out, and there was still no sign of the last bomb. Gordon had given up the struggle.

To be honest, he felt he had done quite well to successfully defuse four bombs.

"This guy's the one, he's suspicious!"

After Li Wei finished speaking, he grabbed Gordon and hurriedly ran downstairs.
