Chapter 219

"Sheriff Gordon." Joanna stood still at the door of the office, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a half-smile, "I'm so glad you agreed to see me."

Gordon came back to his senses, glanced at Joanna, didn't get up, just made a "please" gesture to the chair opposite his desk, then turned his head and said gently to the young man who led the way: "Go and do your work." , I'll just come and receive Miss Rickman."

The young man responded and left in a hurry.

Joanna looked back at the young man's fleeing attitude, then entered Gordon's office with a smile on her face, walked slowly to the desk, and sat down on that chair: "It seems that Sheriff Gordon There is a way to go down."

Gordon glanced at Joanna: "How to say?"

"The lad looked in awe of you."

"You meant to say 'fear' me." Gordon's face was not very friendly. He opened the drawer and put the documents in it. "I don't command my subordinates by fear."

Joanna showed a thoughtful expression, and it took a while before she said: "But sometimes, fear is very effective."

Gordon stood up and poured a cup of coffee for Joanna: "It seems that Miss Rickman has changed a lot in New York."

Joanna didn't answer directly, but took the coffee with a smile and said, "Just call me Joanna."

Gordon returned to his seat and sat down: "So, what can I do for you? Joanna."

Joanna held a coffee cup and smiled slyly: "So sharp?"

Gordon laughed, and there was an elderly person in his eyes who saw through all the pretense of calmness and ease: "Given the past between me and you, I don't think I can be called Miss Rickman's friend, but you Now that I’m here, there must be something I can help with.”

"You sound like you're ready to reject my argument."

Gordon made another "please" gesture: "You try."

Joanna didn't talk nonsense, took out a pen and notebook from her bag, and pretended to be taking notes: "The robbery that happened yesterday, the one where the victim died. Do the Gotham police have any clues and plans?"

Gordon's eyebrows twitched: "You are..."

"I'm going to be a reporter." Joanna took out the cheap-looking work permit from her bag again, "I'm working here now."

"You used to be the head of the public relations department of the Avengers." Gordon's tone slowly revealed disbelief.

"Didn't I milk my former unit to death? I can't let myself starve to death, right?"

"No, what I mean is, there is a newspaper office willing to accept you?"

"Why do you think I came to Gotham? Newspapers in other cities are... well, forget it. Anyway, can Sheriff Gordon help me?"

Gordon tapped his fingers on the table, hesitating.

Joanna didn't urge her either, she just held the notebook and pretended to be listening carefully.

"The situation in Gotham is a little bit different than other cities."

Joanna didn't care whether Gordon's words were useful or not, and immediately lowered her head and wrote down the words literally.

Gordon: ...

After writing this sentence, Joanna looked up at Gordon again, with big eyes eager for knowledge, staring at Gordon's face eagerly.

For a moment, Gordon felt that the refusal speech he had organized with great difficulty was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"You don't have to remember..."

Joanna lowered her head and wrote two words. Feeling something was wrong, she stopped writing: "Now is not the time to open the back door."

Gordon made a blank face: "No. Miss Rickman..."

"Call me Joanna."

Gordon sighed: "Joanna. The situation in Gotham is very special. We can't adopt the practices of other cities outside here. Most of the criminals here are lunatics. The harder the media chases them, the more excited they will be .”

"You mean... if any case gets worse, the media should be held accountable for it?" Joanna's tone was as sharp as when she made a press statement for the Avengers.

Even though Gotham stands above other cities, Joanna's "notoriety" Gordon is still heard.Gordon calmed down and said unhurriedly: "Of course, we won't hold the media accountable. After all, the Gotham Police Department doesn't have the power. To be honest, even if we had the power, we don't have the energy to do it." This kind of thing. But no one is going to pursue the responsibility, which does not mean that someone is not responsible. There is indeed a certain relationship between the pursuit of the media and the escalation of the bad nature of the case. Based on various considerations, we strictly control the source of information. "

"Have you considered..." Joanna propped her chin on the top of the pen, "Have you considered this situation. Some criminals just want to attract attention. If you commit a crime but it is not reported as much as expected If so...won't he commit more crimes?"

Gordon raised his hand, took off his glasses and wiped them. "Of course the situation you mentioned exists. It's just a matter of proportion. We can't avoid all the worst situations."

There is no way to avoid all the worst...

Joanna repeated Gordon's words and remained silent for a long time.

"Joanna? Joanna Rickman?"

"Sorry." Joanna came back to her senses, "Actually, before I came here, I also heard about the situation in Gotham from my colleagues in the newspaper office. So I also heard that the Gotham Police Department also cooperates with the media. However, you seem to They are all aimed at big media like the Gotham Daily, and it seems... not very friendly to other small newspapers."

"At least the Gotham Daily won't scribble reports." Gordon admitted Joanna's statement frankly.

"Can you count me in?" Joanna looked directly into Gordon's eyes.

"what?"

"Can you count me in? The small group that doesn't write nonsense. I haven't reported so far, so this sounds a little convincing. But, can I be counted?"

Gordon stared at Joanna for a while: "Is this the purpose of your coming here today?"

"Did I succeed?"

Gordon considered for a moment, then nodded. "I'll have the police officer in charge of the case give you a briefing. He'll tell you what to report and what's best left alone. You should know how to do it, right?"

Joanna smiled and stood up: "Of course, I'm just eating and drinking, and I'm not going to compete for the Zepley Award."

Gordon picked up the phone and called someone into the office with the briefing material.After a brief explanation, he asked his subordinates to receive Joanna.The police officer who received the order left Gordon's office first.

Joanna walked behind, and she held out her hand to Gordon with a smile.

Gordon didn't doubt him, and he held Joanna's right hand very simply.

The moment Gordon held her, Joanna exerted a sudden force, closing the distance between the two of them: "Sheriff Gordon, is there someone who asked you to take special care of me?"

Gordon didn't change his face: "For example?"

"Tony Stark?"

From the looks of it, he didn't think about Batman's head at all.

Gordon couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Gotham's affairs don't allow outsiders to interfere. I just don't think it's necessary to entangle you over this matter. If Miss Rickman can't cooperate with us for a long time. Me too Will remove Miss Rickman from the friendly list. Am I clear enough?"

Joanna let go of her hand: "I understand. Sorry, Sheriff Gordon, I was too suspicious."

Gordon smiled politely: "Can I ask why you think Tony Stark asked me to take special care of you?"

"No, I don't think he really came to ask you. It's just that everything went so smoothly. You know, I haven't had it so smoothly for a long time. Especially at work. So I can't help but doubt it." Joanna Laughing self-deprecatingly, "As for Tony Stark...he's the only person I can think of who would do such a thing."

"But as far as I know you and he are not..." Gordon stopped short.Joanna is not Stark's girlfriend, she is Captain America's girlfriend.Even if you haven't heard the gossip news about Joanna and Captain America, just because Joanna didn't mention Captain America's abnormal performance from beginning to end, you should know that this is not the best time to advance her boyfriend.

Gordon cleared his throat uncomfortably: "If there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you, Sheriff Gordon. Whether it's the last time or this time." Joanna turned and left after saying this.

The cops don't bring much more information than the Gotham Daily.At least, in terms of the basic situation of the case, no major reversal information broke out.However, Joanna still sorted out a lot of details from the briefing and the communication with the police.

After confirming with the police that the content could be released to the public, Joanna left the police station and returned to the newspaper office.

With first-hand information, the newspaper office naturally doesn't need to fry the cold rice of the Gotham Daily.And the task of writing the report fell from Besson to Joanna.

Joanna is familiar with the speech, but Joanna really doesn't know how to write the news report.

Fortunately, Kroger is not demanding on the timeliness of reporting.Therefore, although Joanna failed to produce a complete manuscript until the end of get off work, Kroger did not blame her, but instead extended the delivery time until the next day when she went to work.

Not surprisingly, Joanna ushered in her first overtime work in the newspaper office.

She ordered a pizza and ate the coffee in a daze.Then he sorted out the records of the documents and messages with only two lines of words and buckled his head.

At 09:30 p.m., Joanna threw in the towel.Surrendering to the news reports, she opted to call Clark instead.

This is the first contact between the two since the last time they met.Joanna acted as if nothing happened. As soon as the other party answered the phone, she yelled, "Coach, please teach me how to write."

Clark on the other end of the phone was going to have an in-depth talk with Joanna about the Avengers, but after being yelled at by Joanna, he began to think of arguments and arguments, and now he couldn't say any of them.After holding back for a long time, he could only say: "What draft?"
