Chapter 304 The Three Detectives (Part 7)

Under the night, a faint light came out of the office of the Gotham Police Department. Gordon stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

Behind him, Batman was sorting out his equipment at the table. Gordon exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "To be honest, I have seen all kinds of scum in Gotham for so long, robbing, killing, taking drugs, betraying friends, betraying family... But it is the first time I have seen someone like Constantine.

"I admit that it is a bit difficult to save him, but we can't let him do this. I can't watch a person torture himself to death..."

"Even if you don't say it, I will keep an eye on him."

Gordon turned his head, raised his eyelids, looked at Batman and asked, "Indeed, you seem to be keeping a close eye on him. Why? Just because he is a criminal on probation?"

"Do you know why Schiller let him go? "Batman lowered his head, he was wiping the blade of the batarang.

"In fact, he is fully capable of trapping Constantine in a dream. Even if he doesn't do this, he can just knock Constantine unconscious and hand him over to you, and then let him go to court."

"Go to court? Excuse me, even if he really accepts a very fair trial, the final result is just to be locked up in a mental hospital. Look at his appearance. If I say he is not mentally ill, do you believe it?"

"But I'm also very strange. I feel that Schiller is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. He put such a big trouble in Gotham City. Didn't he think about how big a mess he would cause?" Gordon said a little confused.

"Obviously, he thought about it and was very clear. Do you think that Constantine told the truth?"

"Well... I should have told most of it, right? At least the part about Lawrence is true, as for the part about him and the god of dreams... never mind, I'll just treat him as a lunatic..."

Batman's voice was as deep as the night outside the window. He paused for a moment and said, "His words were logical. Mrs. Sanchez was afraid that she couldn't meet Cooper's requirements, so she asked him to take over. He sacrificed Cooper to the devil to create a clone, and the clone went to the boarding school to direct and act in another murder case, leading us all there..."

"But he must have concealed some important facts. Perhaps Schiller was waiting for him to reveal his flaws."

Gordon took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke. He looked at the dark night of Gotham and said, "Even magic and demons have appeared. What will happen next? Angels and God?"

"Oh my God!" Jason exclaimed, "What's going on? Where's Dick? ? ? "

He quickly jumped down from the cellar door and looked at the messy ground in his base. The laboratory table opposite was directly overturned, and the table top and sundries were all scattered on the ground. The new tool box on the side tool table also fell to the ground, and all the tools inside were scattered. More importantly, there were two pools of blood in the middle of the ground.

Jason turned to the one who just came down: "Someone broke in here! Dick was kidnapped, we have to save him!!!"

Jason's eyes were red with anxiety. In these days, he and Dick and the group of kids in the vocational education school have become good friends. Now his friend was kidnapped in his base, and Jason was almost crazy. ...

At this time, the other few people who were still waiting outside also jumped down, and they were all amazed at the tragic scene. Rocket spoke first: "It seems that this is indeed a kidnapping case, and Dick is bleeding. We have to find him as soon as possible. "

Tire looked up and down at the situation in the room, and said: "No, we are not good at this. Go call Cobert and ask him to come. In this kind of thing, he can do all of us alone!"

"I know his home phone number. I'll call him!" Rocket climbed out of the cellar and rode a motorcycle to find a phone.

At this time, the night was falling, and the gloomy Cobert's old house was rare and peaceful. Since Mrs. Cobert was hospitalized, Cobert has lived alone in the old house. Although the new apartment has a better environment, it is still closer to the central city. Cobert's old house has a good location and is more convenient for Cobert to travel to several places.

Cobert was sleeping soundly in bed. At this moment, a harsh phone ring rang. Cobert was a little confused when he was awakened, because the phone here had not rang for too long. Since his father died, no one would call here to contact them.

But Cobert still wiped his face, then got out of bed and went downstairs to answer the phone. Jason's anxious voice sounded over there: "Cobert! Come quickly! Dick has been kidnapped! ”

“Dick, didn’t he go to boarding school? How could he be kidnapped?”

“Anyway, come here first, the situation is urgent!!”

When Cobblepot came to Jason’s underground base, he frowned when he saw the messy scene. Jason said to him: “Before, something happened in the boarding school where Dick stayed. We were in danger when we went to find him, but fortunately the rescuers arrived in time and we are all fine.”

“Originally, Batman sent us back to one of his bases, but we felt uncomfortable staying there, so we ran out. However, we spent a lot of energy at that time and felt a little tired. Dick did not return to his home in the wealthy area in the south, but slept here with us.”

"After waking up, it was already late, so we planned to eat something. He was not familiar with the terrain here, so we asked him to stay here to look after the house, and Xiaohuatou and I went to buy food."

"At the store we often go to, we happened to meet a few of them who came to eat supper, so we bought food and planned to come back to eat together, but when we came back, we found that Dick was missing, the place was messed up like this, and there was blood on the ground..."

Cobolt carefully checked the scene, then climbed out of the cellar from the ladder, turned around, and said: "Your footprints made this place a bit messy, but it seems that a stranger's footprints appeared here."

"Here, he should have gone that way, in that alley..."

Several children He ran to the alley that Cobert pointed out. It was a narrow alley extending from the end alley, which could directly lead to the street opposite. Cobert also walked over. When he was halfway through the alley, he said, "The footprints disappeared..."

Cobert looked up and looked around. There was a building on the left side of this position and a high wall on the right side. He climbed to the top of the high wall with a tire carrying a rocket and looked to the other side. He said, "There are no traces. He should not have escaped by climbing over the wall."...

The footprints disappeared in the middle of the alley. Cobert returned to the cellar entrance and checked again and again. He checked all the possible routes around, but still had no clues. This sudden disappearance of traces is a trouble for any detective.

Cobert shook his head and said, "I can't do anything. You should ask someone else for help."

Jason was a little anxious. He said to Cobert, "Did he just disappear out of thin air? How is this possible?"

"At least for now, this is the fact. Also, don't talk to me in that tone. I'm here to help you, just because you might be able to help me in the future..."

Tire also advised, "Cobert tried his best. After all, we saw that the footprints just disappeared, and there were no traces on all the surrounding roads..."

Jason impatiently lifted up his hair on his forehead. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and said, "The flashlight that can be used for communication should still be usable, right? Let's find Batman!"

He dragged the little rascal to the underground base. When the others were about to follow him, Cobblepot stopped them and said, "Batman should be able to handle this matter. Isn't he the most powerful vigilante in Gotham?"

"By the way, do you know what happened to the last case they investigated?"

"What is it?"

Cobblepot said helplessly, "They are going to investigate the big boss who controls the children."

Red Truck scratched his hair and said, "Jason told me that when he went undercover on that street, he heard the boss's boss told the boss that he should hurry up to raise funds..."

"Besides that?"

Several people shook their heads, but Rocket said, "If If there is anything, didn't Dick go with Jason? One night, he brought back some candies, saying that the little leader gave them to him. "

"Candies?" Cobblepot frowned and said, "Do those vampires buy candies for their children?"

Cobblepot said, "I used to be a smoker in the living hell. I know what kind of people those parents are. If they can, they want their children to work for them without sleep, without food or drink. Even if they do a good job, they will only say "not enough"..."

"It's not surprising. This is not popular in our living hell, but from here to this area of ​​Mossuri Street, parents will buy candies for their children. I heard my friend say before that he envied the children in this area. "

Cobert sighed and asked, "Where is the candy that Dick brought back?"

"He should have taken it home."

Tire looked at Cobert's face and asked, "You seem to be very interested in these parents. They have been around for a long time. Why do you suddenly want to investigate them?"

"Don't worry about it. I am useful anyway. If you have any new information, please tell me in time."

After that, Cobert left. The remaining three looked at his back, a little confused, but Cobert has always been so elusive. The other three looked at each other, shook their heads, and then left.
