After Gordon finished speaking, everyone in the police station fell silent.They waited quietly, hoping to find some clues from Joanna's answer.A clown is tough enough, but add an equally crazy Harley Quinn and the GCPD is Alexander.They will not let go of any information that may be useful to them.

The life experience of the clown has always been a mystery, but fortunately Harley Quinn is different.She didn't just appear in Gotham out of thin air, she had a past, she had files, she had records, she had friends.Even though she changed her name and looked like she was about to break with the past, she was not an unknown unknown to the police.At least...it doesn't look like it.

Gordon didn't speak, but he, like other police officers, was looking forward to Joanna's answer.

However, Joanna was not as surprised as they imagined.Everyone only heard a "click", and then there was a busy tone after the phone was hung up.

"What's the matter? That woman hung up the phone?" The police officer closest to the recording equipment yelled.

"It seems to be. I said, Sergeant Gordon, this woman is not in the same group as the clown, is she? Can a normal person react like this? At this time, shouldn't you ask some 'you lied to me'" what? Maybe something like, "How can my friend help criminals escape from prison"? What do you mean by hanging up the phone? Are you guilty?" A slightly fat police officer also followed up with a mindless analysis.

Gordon didn't speak, thinking that you happy people have never been bullied by her on the phone.

Who knows what's going on in that psychopath's mind!

However, speaking of psychosis... In this regard, this Joanna Rickman may really be in the same group as the Joker.

Gordon held the receiver, put his index finger to his lips and thought for a moment.In the end, he hung up the phone without issuing any action orders to his subordinates, but said in a business-like tone: "Leave her alone for now. Since she took the initiative to call, it means that she really knows Harleen Quizell. Regardless Is she involved, at least we know that she is from S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. would not hire a criminal if they hired them in time, and they wouldn't let her run away so easily. And we, wouldn't easily Let the clowns run away."

After listening to Gordon's words, everyone nodded and went to do their own things.Gordon took his coat, said that he had something else to do, and went out.

Although he explained everything perfectly to everyone, Gordon's real reason for doing this was to get Batman's opinion before acting.If the opponent was an ordinary criminal, he would just issue an order to get started, but if the opponent was a clown, he had to think twice.

Gordon walked out of the police station on his belly, walked through the bustling streets of Gotham, and headed towards the place he had agreed with Batman.

Of course, Batman will not wait for Gordon to send information at the agreed place.After Gordon left the message, he left.Batman didn't receive the message until the night, ten hours after Gordon had left.

The last time he and Gordon contacted Joanna in the stairwell, he already felt that the other party's way of thinking was very strange.With the news from Gordon today, Batman can almost believe that the case of Joanna Rickman and the clown's escape from prison is definitely related.At least...she's linked to Harley Quinn.

He always thought that the target of the clown was him, so cities other than Gotham would not be involved.But obviously, the opponent's methods have been upgraded, and in order to fight against him, they have already begun to fully mobilize forces outside of Gotham.

Washington?S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Obviously, that's not a place where Batman can come and go freely.Not even Bruce Wayne.If you want to figure out the relationship between Joanna and the whole thing, you can't start with S.H.I.E.L.D.He'd have to go straight to Joanna Rickman and get this over with before S.H.I.E.L.D. got involved.

Batman checked his schedule.Although he didn't want to take any risks that might reveal his identity, this time, he had to contact the target person as a person other than Batman.

But to Batman's surprise, Joanna didn't obediently wait for him to come and make a move in Washington.Early the next morning, Joanna appeared in the lobby of the Gotham Police Station.She was wearing a mid-length windbreaker, the sleeves were casually rolled up to the elbows, and her hair was tied into a low ponytail. She looked capable and friendly.

She stopped at the consultation desk of the Gotham Police Department, and she was about to talk to James Gordon.

The police officer in charge of the reception only felt that this woman was calm and calm, and she turned a blind eye to the criminals who were escorted by the police officers and walked past her.Even if some hooligans whistled at her, she didn't show any trouble.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

The policeman nodded, and asked formally, "What's your name?"

"Joanna Rickman."

"I'll wipe it!" The police officer couldn't hold back, and swears.

Isn't this the suspect who called yesterday? !

That's right, Joanna Rickman is an accomplice in the perception of the Gotham police.All they lack now is evidence!Running to the police station so blatantly...you really deserve to be the clown's accomplice!

The police officer at the reception couldn't help shivering when he thought of this.

Joanna frowned, thinking that the police station in Gotham is too outrageous.It's fine to swear at the front desk, why are you shivering?Parkinson's disease?

Joanna looked at the police officer trembling like that, and finally asked impatiently after seeing the policeman, "Hey, is there someone like James Gordon here?"

The policeman came back to his senses, quickly steadied the impatient Joanna, and then turned around and said something to his colleague.

After a while, the capable Gordon came out of the sheriff's office and walked straight to Joanna: "Hello, Miss Rickman."

Joanna sized him up: "Are you James Gordon?"

"Yes." Gordon was more polite than Joanna expected, he turned sideways and said to Joanna, "Go to my office and talk."

Joanna nodded and followed Gordon.

The reason why Joanna came to Gotham was to confirm that the person who called her a few days ago was indeed from the Gotham Police Department.Of course, if possible, she also wanted to try to find Harry's whereabouts in this city.

Ideally for Joanna, as soon as she asked to see James Gordon, she was told there was no such person.In this way, she and Harry simply lost contact.But at this moment, the police station not only said that there was James Gordon here, but this Gordon also showed that he knew the purpose of Joanna's coming.As a result, things got a little worse.

Joanna followed Gordon into the office nervously.At Gordon's invitation, he sat down on a simple wooden chair.

"Thank you very much for coming here in person." Gordon's words were very attractive. He didn't mention Joanna's hanging up on him yesterday and the swearing on the phone some time ago.

Joanna was both embarrassed and anxious.She gave a perfunctory smile, then frowned and said, "What happened? Where did Harleen go?"

Gordon looked sad and looked no more relaxed than Joanna: "As I said yesterday, Dr. Quizell helped a dangerous criminal escape from prison. She is now our wanted object."

"It's impossible! It's impossible for Harry to do something like that!" Joanna retorted immediately.

"Harry?"

"It's Harleen Quizell. I've known her since we were kids, and I've always called her Harley, and we thought it was kinder to call her that."

Gordon fell silent.He hesitated to tell Joanna about Harley Quinn changing her name to "Harley Quinn".Judging from the current intelligence, no matter whether Joanna is involved in a criminal gang or not, she is a very special existence to Harley Quinn.If Harleen Quizell cut off the past and became a brand new Harley Quinn, then Joanna may be the only connection between Harley Quinn and the past.

She was precious, but also... dangerous.

Gordon hesitated for a moment, and decided not to tell Joanna everything for the time being: "I'm sorry for Miss Rickman. But Dr. Quizell is an accomplice, and this matter has been confirmed."

"She couldn't have committed a crime. I know her! She's not interested in anything but psychology. She can't give up everything to join criminals."

Gordon looked at Joanna with a slightly sympathetic look: "She is in love with her patient."

"what?"

"We caught a criminal once, but he had some mental problems, so we had Dr. Quizell treat him. Until the time of the crime, Dr. Quizele claimed that her treatment was very effective. But the fact is that ..."

Joanna remembered what Halle had said when she visited her in New York.Halle did mention that she was treating a mentally ill patient, but she never mentioned any criminals.

"Haley once told me that she was indeed treating a mentally ill patient, but it wasn't a criminal. She also mentioned the name of the hospital. It was like... Arkham? Or Assam?"

Gordon sighed: "It's the Arkham Asylum. That's where criminals are held. Although it's a mental hospital in name, most of the prisoners in it are notorious criminals."

Joanna blinked, dazed.

"The insurance company should have some follow-up matters to discuss with you. Harleen Quizell seems to have bought some special insurance. If Miss Rickman wants to stay in Gotham, I sincerely suggest that you don't go out at night. After all This is Gotham."

Joanna stood up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "No. I'm just here... Sergeant Gordon, if you hear about Harley, please let me know as soon as possible?"

Gordon stared at Joanna's face for a moment, then nodded slowly.He got up and held out his hand to Joanna.The two shook hands politely and said goodbye.

Joanna walks out of the GCPD.

The overcast sky began to rain.Joanna shivered in this strange city.
