[Gotham] Jerome's Little Bad

"You guys really work in circuses!" Leigh Thompkinson, the new forensic doctor of GCPD, asked tentatively while administering medicine to a man in a circus costume.

On the opposite side of the doctor, the beautiful woman with a black heart drawn under the corner of her eye spoke angrily, "I swear, John Grayson, if you look at me like this again, I will slap you in the face .”

Although John Grayson was wearing circus clothes, he said with a casual sneer, "You think beautiful." He provoked the beautiful woman with his eyes, and the woman gritted her teeth in anger.

"Don't think I dare not!"

"Whoa, kids, what kind of conflict do you have?" Xiao Lai seemed to be frightened by the atmosphere that the two of them were about to fight if they didn't agree with each other.

"The Graysons are all pompous bastards, and that's the problem."

"The Lloyds are a bunch of irresponsible drunks."

"Then it's a family feud." Xiao Lai asked the key question.

"The Graysons and the Lloyds have had feuds for many years." John Grayson had a crush on the attractive female forensic doctor and didn't mind answering the almost obvious question.

"Do you fight like this every night?" Xiao Lai was referring to the sudden fight between the two families during the circus performance tonight.

"No, it's because her stupid uncle is being stupid." John Grayson was very disdainful of that stupid middle-aged man.

"You know full well it must be because of Lyra."

"Mary!" Mary Lloyd's words were interrupted, looking at John Grayson's sharp eyes, although the relationship between the two was bad, she did not speak again.

After interrogating the uncles of Grayson and Lloyd and the head of the circus, Police Officer Gordon expressed his apology to Xiao Lai for encountering a fight during the date, and said that he would go to find the "bad girl" who caused the fight Lila, keep her safe.

But Police Officer Gordon, who wanted the police to send Xiao Lai home, agreed to go to find Laila together because he could not refuse Xiao Lai's acting like a baby.

The head of the circus took Gordon and Lai to an RV and knocked on their door.The door was opened by a red-haired teenager with a dazed look and put on his coat.

"GCPD, we're looking for Laila." Officer Gordon took out his police ID.

"She's not here, what's the matter, what happened?" The red-haired boy was very puzzled by the arrival of the police.

"Jerome, what's the matter? Are they bad guys?" The one who spoke was a thin girl with a delicate appearance but a malnourished appearance. She was dressed in clothes made of cloth cut from nowhere. The yellow hair was also cut to the ears because it was boring and unmanageable.

"It's nothing, Fritz, the police officer was just asking where my mother is." Jerome seemed to have a good relationship with the girl, as if he didn't want her to touch these things, and said to the girl who suddenly came out from behind the RV, "Foli Here, go home, it's getting late."

The girl listened to Jerome's words very much, but just glanced at Gordon curiously and left.

"I'm Laila's son, Jerome. I don't know where she's gone. She should have been home long ago." Jerome answered Officer Gordon's question.

"Jerome, when was the last time you saw her"

"She was here when I left for the library this morning."

The head of the circus with a clown costume suddenly said, "Relax, Jerome, this gentleman is only here because Owen and Al had some disputes."

The contemptuous and contemptuous look appeared on the head's face, "Your mother is fine, she must be looking|for sex again, you know her..."

The leader of "Xun|Huan" was interrupted by Jerome before he finished speaking. He seemed very dissatisfied with the leader's opinion and disagreed, "Didn't you wear a hat, coat, or wallet?"

"Look at Shiba, she's restless, she knows something's wrong." Jerome walked to the cage of the caravan, pointed to the python inside and said to Gordon, this python was raised by the snake dancer Laila .

"That snake looks a little annoyed."

"Sir," the captain interrupted Police Officer Gordon, as if he didn't want Gordon to continue the investigation, "she is that kind of social girl, she will be back in the morning, with panties in the bag, there is no doubt about it."

"But she didn't bring a bag, didn't she?" Officer Gordon didn't agree with the captain's words, he vaguely felt that something happened to Laila. "How fast can the snake move?" Gordon thought of a way, maybe the snake could lead them to Lyra.

"At the speed of human beings, they mainly rely on sneak attacks to win."

"Let her out."

Jerome was a little shocked, because it was a python after all. "What?"

"Let her out." Sergeant Gordon gave a brief official smile.

Officer Gordon and his team followed the python, which seemed to be looking for something, and climbed into a rough van that seemed to be loaded with straw not far from the RV.

Officer Gordon stepped forward and lifted the black plastic covering the car, and saw the body of a woman in the car, with blood on her face, who had been dead for a while.

"Oh my god!" Xiao Lai showed an expression of unbearable, although he is a forensic doctor who is used to seeing life and death, but he still feels a little sad when he sees the passing of a living life.

When Jerome saw his mother's body, he fell to his knees in grief, and Xiao Lai hurried to comfort him.

Officer Gordon looked at the head of the circus. He didn't show any surprise or nervous expression, as if he knew about Lila's death a long time ago.

"You know, you know she's here." Gordon walked up to the head of the regiment and questioned him.

"I don't know," the group leader closed his eyes, feeling guilty and guilty.

"look at me."

The leader opened his eyes and looked at Gordon, he was a little sad, "It was already like this when we found her."

Leila's case was ruled murder, but Gordon and the others had no clue until a blind old man who claimed to be a psychic arrived.

"So, you might want to listen to the message Leila sent me from the world of the dead." The blind old man in a purple top hat and dark suit leaned on a cane, looking like a gentleman.

"Thank you, Mr. Cicero, we haven't started investigating the world of the undead yet!" Officer Gordon distrusted such impractical things.

"Whatever you want, I'm just a messenger." The blind old man wanted to leave after speaking, and he was also a little unhappy.

Xiao Lai stopped him, "What message?"

"Thank you, doctor." Cicero took off his glasses and began to narrate, "Lyra told me that the devil's servant lay in the garden of the Iron Sisters."

"Iron Sister" Xiao Lai was very puzzled, but Gordon didn't take it seriously, "What does that mean?"

"I don't know," said Mr. Cicero, like a dutiful messenger, without saying much.

"We'll investigate right away." Officer Gordon just wanted to get rid of the old man quickly, they still had a lot to do.

"I don't think sarcasm is your specialty, James. Make use of this message as you like." Cicero wanted to leave directly, but suddenly paused, and said, "I wish you well." Whistling, holding a The child left.

Lay and Gordon have a disagreement, with Gordon thinking the message is nothing more than gibberish, but Lay doesn't think so.

The difference in ideas caused the two to have some stalemate, until Xiao Lai guessed that the garden of the Iron Sisters was the park of Arkham Bridge, where they found the murder weapon that killed Laila - a hatchet. After investigation, they The murderer has been found.

"I'm sorry to call you so late." Gordon walked into the interrogation room and said to Cicero who was sitting there.

Good evening, Detective Gordon, and Dr. Tompkinson. "

"How do you know..." Xiao Lai was very puzzled that Cicero knew about her arrival, after all, she didn't make much noise.

"He smelled your perfume." Gordon gave the answer. Blind people's sense of smell and hearing are generally better than normal people.

"We deciphered what Lila sent you, and we followed the clues to Arkham Bridge Park, where we found a hatchet." Gordon walked to Cicero's side, sat on the table, "It has the satanic mark engraved on it."

"My God," Cicero said, taking off his glasses.

"Do you know what that ax means, Mr. Cicero?"

"Tell me."

"It means you're an accessory to murder."

"Such an exaggeration." Cicero didn't seem to care. "I just sent a message from the dead."

"That's not the case at all, so you made up that message, and you asked someone to leave that ax for us to find, so that we could think it was a satan worshiper who killed Lyra."

"You are protecting a person." Officer Gordon was very sure.

"Laila pleaded for me, that's all."

Seeing that Cicero still refused to admit it, Gordon signaled to the police officer at the door, and the police officer in blue police uniform went out.

"You know what? The hatchet is a bad ruse, and you have no choice but to do it, so you must be protecting someone close, someone you love."

Hearing Officer Gordon's words, Cicero remained unmoved and said, "This fantasy is just made up by your narrow mind."

At this moment, the police officer who had just left came in with a red-haired boy, and this boy was Jerome.

"Please sit down." Gordon made room for Jerome, right next to Cicero, "You know Mr. Cicero from the troupe."

"Yes, officer." Jerome sat down stiffly and greeted the blind old man. "Hello, Mr. Cicero."

"Good evening, Jerome."

Gordon sat down across from them, put his hands on the table, and said to Jerome, "Do you know why you were called here?"

"Are you finding out who killed my mother?" Jerome looked anxious.

"You killed your mother, Jerome."

"I" Jerome looked at Gordon blankly and in disbelief.

"You killed her on the hill. Mr. Cicero told you to clean it up in his trailer. He told you to mark Satan on the hatchet and throw it off the bridge."

"Officer, this is ridiculous," Jerome said incredulously, "and it's too much."

"That's the truth." Gordon said firmly, "But I don't know why this person is so risky to help you. I think he is your father."

Jerome smiled slightly, then restrained the expression on his face, and said solemnly and seriously, "My father is a captain."

Gordon looked back at Lai, and said to Cicero, "Did I say something wrong? Mr. Cicero."

"Wrong." Cicero remained unmoved.

Instead, Jerome was more serious, "He was a captain, his name was Sven Carlson, and he died on board."

"What's the name of that ship?"

"He's been on a lot of ships."

"And the ships that went down with him?"

Jerome paused, "She didn't say that."

"We can do a blood test to confirm it, and we will get an accurate result within an hour." Gordon turned his head and asked Xiao Lai, "Isn't it, Dr. Tompkinson?"

"Yes." Lai nodded.
