After the warden finished speaking, Director Gordon's brows were still frowning.

"I agree with you, Betty, but it's not that simple... We have to convince the mayor, huh? What's that look on your face?"

"It's nothing," said the warden, "the mayor will agree, and she also hopes to return justice to these suffering people, so we will come together because of the common ideal, Anna and I are as close as one person Same."

Gordon had a strange expression, and Winster lowered his head silently. Clark knocked on the door at this time, but he knocked too fast, and he wondered if he came at the wrong time.

Fortunately, Clark and Director Gordon have met a few times, and they are still familiar with each other at various parties. The warden smiled and nodded at him, and then looked at Peter behind him curiously.

"I feel that this child is very familiar..."

"I will take him to study during my time at the Gotham Daily Exchange," Clarke briefly introduced Peter and asked, "Mind if I take a few photos?"

He originally wanted to report what the other party said, but after all, he used his super hearing to eavesdrop. There were only these three people in the room at the time, so it seemed inappropriate for him to publish it in the newspaper.

As expected, his request was not rejected. Not long after, the mayor called and agreed to the Kent reporter's interview, and gave him the authority to report on the incident, but he had to review it before sending it out. This is already more than Clark The envisaged situation is much better.

He looked at Bella Bedivin, who didn't seem to be surprised at all, and thought to himself: "The warden and the mayor should be comrades-in-arms who came together because of a common idea, so they trust each other...just like me and bats!"

After talking with several military personnel, Clark noticed that Mr. Winster frequently took out his mobile phone. Then, during the interval between Clark's interviews with Director Gordon, he was distracted and heard going out to pick up the phone. What Winster on the phone said:

"I can't openly disobey the mayor's request... What's the matter? Did any of us participate in the South Hinckley incident?"

Clark frowned.

["Your behavior has become more and more rebellious recently, Wen," said a thick male voice on the opposite side, "The Elek family has long since fallen into disgrace, and Anna is the shame of this family. Born to guard the council, don't forget who promoted you to this position, and you actually use the power we gave you to protect civilians who are not even Gotham?"]

"My people are ordinary people. If I let them know that when the incident in South Hinckley broke out, the mayor asked me to send troops, but I didn't do anything... What would they think of me? It's all about strengthening my position. The reputation in the team, after all, even if you helped me enter SWAT, the position of the person in charge was obtained by defeating everyone with my own hands! Could it be that one of you took advantage of the black mask? There is no problem with this operation, I You can also take the opportunity to participate in the follow-up process and help the court monitor the mayor's behavior."

Clark tilted his head slightly, using his clairvoyance.

["The black mask has been missing for a long time, huh," the man seemed to be persuaded, but he was still very unhappy because he was contradicted, "and several people in the court disappeared with him, and they have not been found yet. We will That day was called the 'Dark Day', the unknown black covered the entire city, and dragged away many people who wanted to resist the mayor from the city, as for the benefits? Does the court need this benefit? I just want You recognize your position, Wen, after all you are my nephew."]

The phone hung up, and the man named Winster looked at the screen coldly for a while, and then, without knowing that Clark was watching, he sent the recording of the previous call to a person with the note [Like Mother] , The next second, Warden Bella Bedivan took out his cell phone and looked at it. Clark, who had not yet regained his perspective ability, found that the other party had remarked [Wen] to the person who sent the message.

Clark: "..."

The relationship between you Gotham people is really weird!

Then, the warden forwarded the recording to the mayor, and looked up suspiciously: "Reporter Kent?"

The Kent reporter finished the interview in shock and bewilderment, but he decided to send Batman a message to ask his partners "The Court" and "Dark Sun" what happened.

After completing the interviews with the officials, he began to take Peter to chat with the soldiers, the police, and the criminals who were temporarily detained in their own homes to collect evidence. In the end, he went to the mine.

The mine was almost difficult to get down to. He photographed the remains of the bomb, and then the ice bridge. The flames and icicles had disappeared together, but the ice bridge remained here, becoming a support for the bottom of the mine, and seeing through the mine. On the top floor of the cave, Clark understood that the place was already crumbling, and there had been several small collapses before. If the ice bridge was not still there, the "sky" here would have collapsed long ago, burying all the dirt. deep underground.

The more he took pictures, the heavier his mood was. Peter was a little excited because he could be led by an experienced senior to run the news, but after seeing all this, his mood gradually became depressed.

You never know what hell is like until you see it with your own eyes.

Accompanying them down the cave was Director Tal White, after all, he was one of the first-hand experiencers.

"How many people were involved in the rescue?"

"Six, one is my sister, she has gone back, the other is Red Hood, he is a recent gang leader in Gotham, I don't comment on what this person has done, I am just stating the truth that he is doing now What?" Tal thought for a while, "there are three other people, the criminal Freeze of Gotham and his wife Ms. Nora, the last one did not appear, he is a magician."

"Magician..." Peter interjected, "Wait, could it be that wandering magician who has become very popular on the Internet recently? The one that can make gargoyles fly!"

Tal nodded: "He used magic to rescue people who were unable to move in the mine. After all, many victims were disabled, and he won a chance for them to get medical treatment in time, but he himself did not show up."

Under the influence of the props, Peter ignored the abnormality in this passage, and nodded slowly: "Then he is really a very good person."

Clark: "..."

He felt something was wrong, how did this magician know everything that happened in South Hinckley in time, did he have eyes and ears here?

However, investigating the case is the job of the police. Now that the police in Gotham are serious and responsible enough, he passed the suspicion in his heart and didn't talk too much.

Except for Tal, who accompanied them down the cave, the people from the Evidence Section had already collected evidence, and all the drug-related materials under the cave were swept away by them, but the smell under the cave was not very pleasant.

Tal introduced to them: "According to the preliminary investigation of my colleagues, the 2122 people in the mine are mainly composed of women, followed by a small number of disabled men, and the children born to women. There are almost no girls, not because they have no children. Girls were born, but girls were taken away."

Clark frowned, and Peter also showed an unbearable expression.

"...We are continuing to track down those girls," Tal recalled the bloody smell lingering around the warden, and said with certainty, "We will soon be able to get clues from the principal criminal."

"A small armed force of 300 people usually guards these people, but they are all militias hired by the main criminal, the Smith family. The official troops in South Hinckley Town know all this, but they don't participate in it personally. When we encircled South Hinckley At that time, this group of militiamen was sent out to delay the police, so that the Smith family escaped by boat, and they are now in custody."

"Human trafficking, rape, murder, drug production and drug trafficking, organizing small armed forces, and illegally hiding heavy weapons..." Tal said, "These are the crimes committed by the Smith family. Less than 2000/1 of them can speak English, and they all have certain mental problems, so the doctor advises not to allow them to testify."

Symptoms may worsen.

They finished filming the underground in a silent and depressing atmosphere, and then Tal followed the two to Wayne Hospital, where many people who were rescued from the mine were taken in by Wayne Hospital.

According to Tull's knowledge, these patients staying at Wayne Hospital are the most emotionally stable and have a chance to be interviewed, because most of them are women with children and are responsible for taking care of them. From doctors to nurses, the hospital tries their best to Female is selected.

And according to the mayor's request, the floors where they lived were sealed off, and irrelevant people were not allowed to enter unless the mayor's permission was obtained.

But they obviously hit a wall. First of all, all three of them are men. A large number of patients directly refuse to communicate, and most of those who are willing to communicate can speak English, but as long as they see the camera hanging around Clark's neck, he will be kicked out.

Compared with a tall and strong white man like Clark, Tal's pale complexion doesn't look like a good man with facial paralysis. On the contrary, Peter looks like a collection of the younger brother next door and the good-for-nothing schoolboy, so he can say two things more or less. sentence.

Simply put, his face is less aggressive.

As for Clark, he is actually very friendly. However, American reporters are not a kind and reassuring identity. Some reporters who spare no effort to dig out "privacy" destroy the impression of this group. When they see the camera At that time, those patients who had already been hurt once would subconsciously think of many bad things and worry about being hurt twice, even though Clarke promised not to slap them in the face.

The last stop was Gotham Central Hospital.

However, Tal met an acquaintance here. His sisters in the East End Cathedral were understaffed. As an official hospital, the Central Hospital chose to hire temporary workers in a more reliable way, and only women were allowed.

Millie accepted the job with her colleagues who used to be wandering warblers. This is rare, because in Tal's memory, these wandering warblers rarely leave the church, and even only want to contact children. When the church was built, They will avoid men who are hired to work-because there may be some of their former customers.

Even Tal was gradually accepted because of amnesia. He suspected that in the eyes of the elderly Liuying, his image was no different from that of a baby with a questionable IQ.

Seeing him, Millie and Clark, who were free, said hello, and asked Tal in a low voice: "How is Wei Wei? You took her out."

"She sent me a message," Tal said in a slightly weak tone, "She said she was just a little tired and would be fine soon."

"Huh..." Millie didn't say anything, and turned to Clark, "If you want to interview, I can ask some people if they are willing to accept."

Clark breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for trusting us, ma'am."

Millie smiled: "I believe in the mayor."

After asking around, Millie took a woman to the lounge. The only woman who was willing to be interviewed was Jane. She was holding her son and standing by the window next to the lounge.

Millie whispered to them, "Jen has come here a few times, maybe because she likes the view from the window."

Outside the window is a bare high wall, as well as hideous gargoyles as decorations on the wall.

When the reporters walked in, the woman shuddered, but instead of screaming, she—

She walked over, and as hard as she could, she handed over her son who was eating her fingers, almost into their arms.

Jen trembled and said, "...evidence!"
