Stress, that's not what it's all about. When he hears the bell, he drools; When he heard the sound of a bowl knocking, he ran to ask for food.

People who have lived under the law and order for a long time and see that crime, especially when it is harmful to them, will fight back

"Why the Joker?"

After speaking with Mr. Philip, Johansen received another request for support.

With his men, he was busy going back and forth on the three main streets for a long time, stopping many people who tried to rob. But what's the use? After they leave, those people will come back.

Of course, it's not all for nothing. Among the gangster minions caught, a few have seen clowns.

The Joker comes to negotiate with Mundy with a bomb strapped to him; The clown asks them to find the poor people in the city to experiment; The money and gold bars that the clown threw into the city were snatched from the bank; The Joker attacked the station, but the content he posted boosted the ratings for the station, so those people didn't reject him very much.

So, why Jokers?

The captain sat up and took a piece of information about the clown that his subordinates had collected.

The top one is the Joker poster from the Batman movie.

Green hair, pale faces, terrifying smiles, crazy eyes...

Who is that?

Is it a madman who watched a movie and wants to pose as a clown? Or is this image deliberately used to put pressure on some people in the city? What is his purpose? Just want to get some company secrets? Or do you turn the whole city upside down in order to enjoy the process of crime?

He looked at the other character on the poster: Batman.

Dark, mysterious, powerful, fearful but strong-willed, frustrated but majestic. Against clowns, that's what you need, isn't it?

And who better than me?

His heart was driven by such passionate feelings, and he was excited. But after a moment, that thought was thrown aside.

It's ridiculous, it's like a child.

So he put down the poster, returned to his desk, and picked up the report.

Bank robbery

Raiding TV stations, publishing ridiculous rumors

Throwing away bank guns and gold all over the city, causing chaos

Collusion with gangsters and experimentation on living people

.....

In all this content about the Joker's actions, there should be a hidden trajectory of the Joker's next move. If he was acting to ridicule and fool, nine times out of ten he would go to a heavily guarded underground laboratory; But if there's an insidious purpose behind these, what would it be?

How can we find him and bring him to justice? How can we protect the city from him and avenge those who were killed by him?

Thinking, just like that, getting deeper and deeper. It didn't take long for all the images .... Mundy, Philip, the clown, the bank, the police, the gangsters, the TV station, the bar, the robbery, the killings, the roar and anger of the citizens, the calmness of several bosses and the performance of trying to disguise....

All of this began with the mind of the former US Army captain, now Captain Ambrella, intertwined, roared, twisted .... It wasn't until the phone rang that he let out an "ah" and got out of this state.

I was already in a cold sweat.

"Hello, Mr. Captain." It was Philip who called.

"Hello, Mr. Philip."

"Your prophecy has unfortunately come true, and that clown is really coming to me again." Philip's voice is a little on the high side. "He asked me to broadcast a piece of news tonight: You are ready to open the laboratory for all citizens who have questions to visit."

So what's next for that clown? Johansen thought it was a bit simple. "You promised him?"

"Of course! So, if you don't want me to broadcast this news, bring someone to protect me! If you don't come, then I have no choice but to broadcast it, after all, I still want to live a good life and enjoy all the spirits, beautiful women, balls and things like that you mentioned earlier. ”

"We'd better have a face-to-face conversation, yes, right on your TV station."

After putting down the phone, Captain Johansen weighed a little about the possible reaction.

This is a very vicious move. If the citizens take it seriously, and they arrive at the lab to find out that they have been deceived, then the already angry citizens will go even more crazy. If someone instigates it, then it is not impossible to attack the laboratory directly.

At that time, the mayor, the police, and the security guards under their own hands will also find it difficult to control the situation, and it will be even more difficult to end. Wait a minute...

That is, the clown himself will go.

Ambrera Underground Lab Manager's Room

"So you're in favor of opening up underground labs?" Manager A took off his glasses and looked at Johansen in surprise.

"Yes. In my opinion, this is a good opportunity for us to catch the clown. ”

Johansen gave a little talk about the plan. In fact, it is also very simple, allow tours at the TV station, and then limit the number of people and the identity of the visitor. Then through the permit to screen and screen the people who enter, after entering, the clown will definitely take action. With close surveillance in the laboratory, he can be caught when the time comes.

Manager A weighed the plan. "There are a lot of valuable instruments in the lab, as well as valuable experimental data. And it's such a big place..."

"Catch the clown, and we'll be able to solve our problem this time. If it drags on, I don't know what new intrigues he will have. Sir, the situation in the laboratory, too few people know. Now, even our security guards haven't seen what's inside. If we let this clown keep moving, sooner or later it will bring us more trouble. At that point, it's not just our problem. ”

Manager A examines Johansen. In the more than a year since he became the vice captain, his subordinate has no doubt about his ability and sense of justice. Although that sense of justice to stop colleagues from taking advantage of others sometimes leads to some slander and prevents promotions. However, it seems that this is the time for this person to show his value.

"Previously, the Joker had made a similar suggestion to the mayor." After thinking about the value, Manager A relented. Although this incident did not touch the company's real secrets, it is always good if it can be resolved sooner.

"The mayor didn't work with him." Seeing Johansen's surprised expression, Manager A also explained. "Mr. Mayor has made a wiser choice than the TV station and the gangsters. At that time, the Joker's purpose was for us to open the lab for the mayor to elect a delegation to visit. ”

And after being rejected. This time it's simply 'all the skeptical people' to come. What you just said is: catch the clown? ”

"Yes, sir, I don't think he will let go of such a good opportunity to fool us."

"Good! Since you have faith, do what you say. The places to visit were the ones on the TV station that they claimed to have gold. I will arrange for people to transfer the information and equipment there. ”

"Finally, you know, I trust you. But if you toss like this... If I don't get anything, I have to..."

"Yes, sir."
