Not only was his image and temperament out of place here, but even his killing habits were not quite the same as the others.
When the man was put in, Selina heard the two police officers who escorted him talking about her fellow prisoner.
âDid he really dig out the dead manâs liver?â
This was one of the younger officers inquiring.
âThatâs right, and after listening to the forensic examination, it was said that there were obvious bite marks in the liver of the deceased, which matched perfectly with the murdererâs teeth!â
Another was a fairly old police officer.
âHe really ate⊠ate human liver?â
âThere is no doubt that his face will long be remembered by all the policemen of the United States. He is Hannibal Lecter. Young policemen like you perhaps only heard his name.â
âWhat! He is the legendary ogre?â
The young police officer was shocked. He was lucky enough to escort this legendary criminal.
âHush? Donât shout, look at your outburst!â
The old policeman frowned. Itâs no good to be shocked so easily in prison.
In Gotham, those who enter the Black Gate Prison are not ordinary prisoners and are even known as the springboard to Arkham.
Many people in the Arkham Asylum were promoted from the Black Gate.
This young man made a fuss because of a mere Hannibal, who knows what he can do in the future.
The young police officer immediately covered his mouth. It is not surprising that he would react this way, because Hannibalâs name is known to everyone in the US Police Academy.
This vegetarian foodie is even known as one of the most feared serial killers of all time.
As for other rare weird super criminals, the students are generally not told about them in the police academy because they are too prone to accidents.
Such events have happened in Gotham.
The mayor did not listen to Gordonâs dissuasion and compiled the Joker incident eight years ago into the textbook of the Gotham Police Academy. As a result, a large number of criminals started imitating the Joker after two or three years.
And those few years happened to be the most difficult period for GCPD to recruit new people.
So in the third year, the mayor was forced to cancel this education policyâŠ
âI heard that an FBI detective has been chasing Hannibal for ten years, but there has been no found clue. Why is Hannibal suddenly caught and sent to us now?â
The young police officer asked strangely.
âWho caught him, and who sent him to the Black Gate Prison? Was it Batman?â
âActually, I think Hannibal is more appropriate to be imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum.â
âNo one caught Hannibal. I heard that he was sent to us directly because he was caught killing a person in the street for his liver.â
The old cop shook his head, indicating that he wasnât sure what was going on.
âThe strange thing is that after Hannibal was knocked out of the assault, he did not run away uncharacteristically, but waited on the spot for the police to arrest him.â
âHe was sent to the GCPD about thirty minutes later, but no matter how Chief Gordon interrogated him, Hannibal didnât say a word. He kept his current expression, the terrifying smile.â
At this point, the old policeman couldnât help but shiver, and Hannibalâs smile was as cold as winterâs ice.
Just thinking about it makes people feel goosebumps.
âYou are right. The Black Gate Prison is not suitable for prisoners like Hannibal. The warden has already contacted the Arkham Asylum, and it wonât take long for the most trustworthy person to come and transfer Hannibal.â
At this time, the old policeman checked his watch and said, âEnough, we have spent a lot of time chatting, itâs time to get back to the post.â
So the young policeman walked out with the old policeman.
Their duty was to guard the doorway of this level of cells.
Hannibal and Catwoman were imprisoned at the lowest level of the Black Gate Prison. There was no other structure nearby except a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were a long series of cells.
Each cell is separated by a strong and heavy iron fence, and there is a half-meter gap between them.
Because only the two outermost walls are made of concrete, each cell is absolutely transparent, with no dead ends or windows.
The vents for ventilation are at the end of the corridor, separated from the last two cells by a distance of about two meters.
The corridor measures 47 meters from the front to the end.
The length of the iron fence of each cell near the corridor is two meters, the width from the iron fence to the wall is three meters, and the area of each cell is six square meters.
Therefore, there are 36 cells on both sides of the corridor.
But this does not mean that there are only 36 prisoners, because the first 30 cells have âdouble-bedsâ or even âthree-beds.â
There are seventy to eighty prisoners in custody.
Of the six single cells, only three are currently occupied.
Catwoman and Hannibal are two of them, and their cells happen to be next to each other.
Selinaâs cell is second to last on the left, and Hannibal is first to last.
âHello, I take it you are Selina Kyle.â
It didnât take long before Hannibal began to talk to Selina, his speech and manners were very polite.
Every move revealed his essence as a gentleman.
Of course, this also made Selina think of a certain culprit who sent her here in the first place.
The strangest thing is that she canât even hate that guy.
âMr. Lecter, I really didnât expect to be locked in the same prison as you one day. Youâve probably eaten more people than Iâve ever stolen, you should be charged more than me.â
Selina chatted and responded to Hannibal, but what she said didnât seem so friendly.
âOh, they want to send me somewhere else afterwards because they donât feel confident they can hold me.â
Hannibal was not angry at all and continued to talk to Selina in an amicable manner.
âIâm just curious why didnât they send me themselves?â
âThey are afraid of escorting you. No one can guarantee whether you could break free and eat the two policemen who escorted you during transportation.â
Selina said the truth.
âYou are very smart, Miss Kyle. Usually, young girls like you go on the road of crime, either because they are driven by a momentary affair or they have a tragic past.â
Hannibal gazed into Selinaâs eyes.
âBut you are very special. You not only have a tragic past but also have received professional training. Obviously, one cannot learn such skills and proficiencies in various technological tools on the streets.â
âWhatâs even weirder is that, while being one of the best thieves, your own residence is so shabby that it makes people feel distressed. Where did the precious jewels you stole go?â
âIt has nothing to do with you!â
Selina said coldly.
âInstead of prying into my past, letâs talk business. I donât believe the police are capable of catching you, so you must have some sort of purpose for coming in.â
âDid Daget send you here?â
âNo, as you may not know in prison, Daget is âdeadâ. Bruce Wayne has taken back all the shares of Wayne Enterprises from him.â
âAll he has left in his hands now is the Laikin Data Corporation, which has been losing money year after year, and it wonât be long before he declares bankruptcy.â
To Catwomanâs surprise, Hannibal shook his head.
âThe one who really wants to see you is named BaneâŠâ
