I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 53 The Fate of the Scarecrow and the Empty Needle

"Sheriff Gordon, haven't I explained to you that it was Barbara who was joking with you just now. She and I just happened to be chatting outside in the night breeze—"

"What?! Actually, it's outside! You young people are really too... If you are seen by others... you brat, remember it for me. I will make an appointment and I will talk to you in person!"

Seeing that Barbara was still covering her mouth and sniggering, Jacques sighed helplessly, don't drag me, melon-eating people, into the water when you two quarrel.

"Look, he's just so old, stubborn and unreasonable, and he doesn't listen to people well. It's great to move out and not live with this strange old man."

No, no, no, you father and daughter are really alike in doing things arbitrarily, Jacques cursed in his heart.

Finally, Gordon seemed to be a little tired, and he stopped to breathe heavily, as if trying to build up his emotions, and Jacques quickly took advantage of this gap to speak first.

"Sheriff Gordon, don't you have something urgent to find me, then tell me quickly, or I will go to bed so late—"

"What? You're still sleeping with Barbara"

"Okay, this topic is endless, I'm going to hang up if I don't talk about business!"

Hearing that Jacques' tone was a little impatient, Gordon on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, and then seemed to have calmed down his excitement, and his voice became low.

"About today's scarecrow. On the top floor of the hotel, you were the one who subdued Jonathan Klein, right?"

Jacques's heart tightened. Sure enough, Gordon came to him because of the scarecrow.

"There's no need to deny it. Judging from the personnel exclusion method, the only one who can appear on the top floor to block the Scarecrow is you. I'll just say it, you've gone too far."

Jacques remained silent. After all, it was true that he broke the scarecrow's arms, and it sounded like Gordon's tone was more of a complaint than a real accountability.

"Although I know that you can't ask everyone to be as precise as Batman. To be honest, I can still count as your legitimate defense range with his broken arms, but it will be troublesome if you make him mentally disturbed. This way If we come, we won’t even be able to interrogate.”

Hearing this, Jacques' pupils shrank slightly, and he found that his thoughts had gone wrong.

He remembered the battle process between himself and the Scarecrow very clearly. In the end, the Scarecrow fell into a state of fear because of the Scarecrow Box, and then he took the opportunity to break the Scarecrow's arms and use the pain to make him faint——the scarecrow effect of the Scarecrow Box is only temporary. Reason The scarecrow, who has a deep study of fear, will be insane because of it.

"Wait Gordon, you said the scarecrow is insane?! When did this happen? Could it be him pretending?"

As if feeling the seriousness of the problem, Gordon's voice became serious.

"You mean you didn't do this? When we arrested Jonathan Klein, he had been talking nonsense, as if he had fallen into a deep hallucination of fear, and the brain wave test at Gotham Hospital also proved this .”

Deep hallucinations of fear. There was a flash of inspiration in Jacques's mind, and he faintly felt that he had grasped something.

"Sheriff Gordon, around the scarecrow, did you find a syringe with a green liquid in it?"

Gordon paused for a moment, as if flipping through some paper, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Colleagues from the forensics department did report that a needle was obtained as evidence at the scene. But according to the records, there was no green liquid you mentioned in it. The needle was empty when we picked it up!"

Jacques frowned. He clearly remembered that when the Scarecrow injected himself with venom, it was interrupted immediately after injecting only a small part of the venom. And when Wu Shan stabbed himself to let him go, it seemed that only a small part was pushed in. That's all, then there should be more than half of the venom in the needle.

Obviously, all the remaining venom has been returned to its creator, the scarecrow, probably to make him "shut up".

The question is, who is doing such a vicious thing? Is it really that mysterious woman named Wu Shan?Or is it the "she" who Wu Shan mentioned instructing the Scarecrow?
Things became complicated and confusing, Jacques hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"Sergeant Gordon, the scarecrow's insanity should be due to the liquid in the needle. You'd better hurry up and try to test the composition of the residual substance, use the antidote to restore the scarecrow's spirit, and interrogate the truth behind it."

"Well, I'll contact the STAR laboratory immediately and ask them to carry out the test work. Have you seen who the person who injected the scarecrow is, or any relevant information—"

Suddenly, Jacques felt a lightness in his hand, and saw Barbara took back the phone with a serious expression, and shook her head slightly at him.

"Sorry, Dad, it's too late today. Jacques just finished the battle and was injured and needs to recuperate. We will contact you later on other things."

"Wait, Barbara! So that brat really slept with you—"

Before Gordon finished speaking, he stopped abruptly. Barbara had already pressed the stop call button and quickly turned off the phone.

"I'm sorry, Jacques. But I think it's better not to leak information about Miss Wu Shan to GCPD before the matter is clarified. After all, there are mixed personnel in GCPD. If this information is leaked, I'm afraid it will scare the snake."

Jacques nodded in agreement, and it is true that there is a lot of fog on the mysterious Wu Shan.And to eliminate the surveillance traces and the man behind the scenes who shut up the scarecrow, whether it is Wu Shan or not, he wants to erase the traces of Wu Shan's appearance anyway.Under such circumstances, releasing Wu Shan's information would undoubtedly be an unwise act that would annoy the person behind the scenes.

It seemed that Barbara's coffee had also been finished. She opened her arms and stretched her waist, taking in all of Jacques's slender and exquisite figure.

His gaze swept over Barbara's chest inadvertently, and Jacques felt that the excitement suppressed by Night Breeze had started to stir again, and he immediately forced himself to look away at the big, white and round moon.

"Okay, what I just said to my father is also reasonable. It's getting late now. Let's talk about it with Harley and the others tomorrow. I've worked hard for you today, so let's go to bed early—well, Jacques, what's wrong with you ?”

As if sensing Jacques' strangeness, Barbara stretched out her jade-like fingers and touched Jacques' forehead, but the latter took a step back as soon as he touched it.

"I'm fine, you go to bed first, I'll look at the moon for a while, well, the moonlight is so beautiful today, ah, no, that's not what I meant—"

Barbara narrowed her eyes, looked at Jacques thoughtfully, and nodded.

"I understand, the reason why you came out is because the scarecrow's poison effect has not disappeared and you can't sleep, right? You can't just leave it like this. After all, the scarecrow is insane because of this poison. If you continue to be in this state, if you have sequelae It's troublesome."

Suddenly, Jacques felt the fragrant wind, and Barbara took a step closer to him. The outrageous and charming hallucinations before appeared in Jacques's mind, and he wanted to back away quickly—but his hand was caught by Barbara. Living.

"Wait, Barbara, let go first, and it's too close—"

"Don't be nervous, Jacques, didn't I say, I want to help you. It seems that the scarecrow's toxin is persistent. If this is the case, I need you to speed up the release of the toxin—"

"Release, release?"

"Come with me, Jacques and I will sweat it out!"
