In the afternoon, the gloomy weather makes people drowsy. The fastest update

This is a day suitable for taking a nap, but a sudden case has made many people unexpectedly busy.

[Who poked the hornet's nest in Arkham? ] This is the headline printed on the front page of the Gotham Evening News that day.

But that is a later story. For now, let's talk about the busy people, the police officers of the Gotham Police Department.

No one expected that the "fire axe thug" last night would "do a big job" in Arkham Asylum in less than 24 hours.

This kind of lawless behavior naturally alarmed James Gordon, the director of the Gotham Police Department.

When the news of the "collective escape" of the prisoners in the asylum reached Gordon's ears, he just walked out of a police officer's home; and that police officer... was one of the dead who was hacked to death by the fire axe thug last night.

Gordon always left the terrible and difficult task of "notifying the family of the deceased" to himself, because he felt that as the chief, he was responsible for the lives of every one of his men.

After being bombarded with tears and sadness by the families of the deceased police officers, Gordon walked back to the police car... that mood must have been quite bad. And at this moment, he heard the news that the suspect had committed another crime last night through the police frequency.

The chief's next reaction can be imagined...

He immediately issued an order to round up through the intercom in the car, and added a statement at the end of the order that "any measures can be taken if necessary."

His police officers all understood this, that is to say... they didn't have to catch him alive.

Within ten minutes after the order was issued, more than half of the police force in the city rushed towards the suburbs where the asylum was located.

Obviously, not only the chief, but many police officers have also raised the action of arresting Juege to the level of personal grudges. After all, he is a "criminal who killed police officers", and it is reasonable to get this "special treatment".

Besides, Gotham hasn't seen such a serious crime in a long time. The police station was raided last night, and the prison escape was launched today... At this pace, they will attack the city government tomorrow? How can this be tolerated?

And... the prisoners he released, although not as vicious as him, are also "mentally ill", and many of them have violent tendencies; these people... even if only one ran back to the city, it is hard to say how much trouble it would cause.

In summary, the police's full-scale response is not excessive.

…………

At four o'clock in the afternoon, more than an hour had passed since Feng Bujue released all the escapees from the asylum.

The police's encirclement had formed within a radius of several kilometers in Arkham.

There were not many roads in the suburbs, and it was not difficult to block every one of them. The police did so, but... at least until four o'clock, no sentry had reported the discovery of the "fire axe thugs", but many of the other escaped asylum prisoners had been arrested.

At the same time, in the main building of Arkham, in the lobby.

"Is this the final list of personnel?" Gordon said to one of his police officers, looking down at a handwritten, scribbled piece of paper.

"Yes, sir, it has been verified twice." The police officer replied quickly, "Six management and civilian staff, 29 guards on duty, four resident doctors, one consultant, and... seven service personnel including cooks and cleaners... a total of 47 people; among them, except for some guards who suffered minor injuries of varying degrees, everyone else is safe and sound."

"Okay." Gordon went over this information in his mind, and responded casually and made a gesture.

The police officer nodded after seeing the gesture and went to the side to work.

Gordon turned his head and looked at Dr. Quinn, who was talking to him before listening to the report.

"Sorry, where were we just now?" Gordon asked after reorganizing his thoughts.

"The part about him releasing other prisoners." Quinn replied.

"Oh... yes." Gordon responded, "You said... Jack and his accomplices had already fled to the courtyard and were ready to drive away, but because of the guard's words, they turned back?"

"Yes, I was standing at the window on the second floor at that time, and witnessed the whole process through the window glass." Quinn said.

"Hmm..." Gordon frowned slightly and fell into thought.

"It's very strange, isn't it?" Quinn saw what the other party was thinking and said, "I think so too..." She paused, "From his reaction at the time, he was worried about the police's roundup and decided to do this on impulse, but his subsequent actions... seemed as if he had planned everything and implemented it in the most efficient way."

"Yeah..." Gordon thought thoughtfully, "If he just wanted to cause trouble for the police, then he only needed to open the gates of all the cells and entrances and exits in the main control room... and he could run away. As for what would happen next... he didn't have to worry about it at all.

"But the actual situation is... he chose to use the radio to tell you that he was going to release the prisoners, and used this as a threat, commanding you in the main control room, gathering all the staff to the underground shelter, and helping you close the entrance... before releasing the prisoners.

"Not only that, he also blocked the door of the main control room before leaving, as if..."

"No need to say 'as if'..." The next second, a hoarse voice, like a voice in the late stage of laryngeal cancer, interrupted Gordon's words and joined his conversation with Quinn. "The conclusion is obvious. He did this for two reasons. First, to protect the staff here; second, to protect something in the main control room."

When he finished speaking, Gordon and Quinn looked at him in surprise.

Not only the two of them, but everyone in the lobby just realized the existence of this person, as if this person suddenly appeared here out of thin air just before he spoke...

In Gotham, the only person who can do this and often does it is undoubtedly... Batman.

"No matter how many times, I'm still not used to your way of appearance." Gordon glanced at Batman, and then complained to the latter in a tone of greeting an old friend.

"So..." Quinn's attitude towards Batman was not very friendly, but he also maintained basic courtesy, "Mr. The greatest detective in the world, I guess you already know why Jack did this?"

"Protecting you first is to make the prisoners leave the asylum immediately after being released from the cell." Batman began to answer the other party's questions almost without thinking, "Because he needs these prisoners to run out to help him disrupt the police's sight. If the prisoners stay in the asylum and spend their time on "violence against staff", the effect of his plan will be greatly reduced.

"As for his motive for blocking the main control room, I can infer two things at this stage...

"First, it is to prevent the prisoners from using the control equipment inside. If the prisoners enter the main control room, they can directly open the door of the shelter where you are. In this way, Jack's action to protect you becomes meaningless.

"Second, the conclusion that he wants to keep the surveillance video there needs to be combined with the previous one... If he simply wants to prevent the prisoners from using the switch in the main control room to open the door, then he can just smash the equipment here, and there is no need to block the entrance. But he didn't do that. The reason is... he must have another purpose, and this purpose requires the equipment in the main control room to operate normally and not be damaged.

"If you think about it this way... he is probably going to protect the hard drives that store the video files."

Batman said this in an orderly manner, which made Gordon, a professional policeman, and Quinn, a psychology expert, stunned.

After a long time, Gordon came back to his senses and continued: "Well... why did he keep those surveillance videos? According to normal logic, he should not keep those videos, but destroy those things that record his appearance and actions, right?"

What he said makes sense, but this does not overturn Batman's reasoning just now, but only points out a doubt.

"When we watch those videos..." Batman also thought for two seconds before continuing, "Naturally, we will know what tricks he is playing."
