Chapter 62: The Crazy Man
The rooftop of the Gotham Police Department, Harvey. Dent waits under the batlight for the arrival of the Dark Knight in Gotham City. Soon, he waited and heard the movement above him, and he looked up at Batman, "Thank goodness you're here." ”
Batman was a little surprised that it was the new district attorney of Gotham City waiting for him, and he also knew something about this local prosecutor, a righteous man who was inspired to strike down all the evil forces that Gotham is currently ridding with. At this time, Gordon, who noticed the movement of the bat lamp, also came up, and happened to see Harvey and Batman on it, "Bastard, who told you to turn on the bat lamp!" ”
"I don't turn on the bat lights? And then wait for your team to collude with Manoni to keep talking to Manoni? ”
"The action teams you're talking about are people I can trust!" Gordon replied loudly.
He has always been angry at Harvey's criticism of his team, and in Gotham, those so-called good cops have long ceased to exist, and he may be the only one in the entire police department like Gordon. It's rare that since Batman's debut, criminals are no longer so unscrupulous, and he finally managed to gather a team of police officers who still have a conscience in their hearts, but now everyone is being investigated by Harvey, so he can't help but be angry.
Seeing the two arguing there, Batman had to interrupt their argument. "Be quiet, Harvey, why are you looking for me?"
Hearing Batman's questioning of him, Harvey also stopped the dispute with Gordon, "I'm going to join you, no matter how you track the money of Manoni and his gang, if no one takes over this case, they can't be convicted at all, I can help you." Harvey said what he thought, as he said, it is estimated that he is the only one in the entire Gotham who dares to face Manoni head-on, and he is the only one who is not afraid of Manoni's gang.
"Can you get Manoni to confess?" Batman was skeptical.
"As long as you can catch their evidence, I can even get him to sing." Xavi is confident that he has a way to deal with this kind of person.
"How to catch it? You've jailed all the money laundering bastards in Gotham, and you've checked the bank, but we still can't find any whereabouts of the money. Gordon spoke on the sidelines, how could he not know what Harvey had done, but this was Gotham. A city where criminals are always on the rise.
"I'll fix it, wait for my signal." Batman responded.
"Waiting for your letter... Harvey turned around and was about to ask Batman what the signal was, when he found that there was no one behind him. Gordon saw Harvey's expression and calmly said, "You have to learn to adapt" and left.
In Gotham Harbor, a freighter prepares to leave, and Batman learns through his own means that the freighter contains a container that is not on the packing list, which is most likely the funds of Manoni's criminal gang. Lurking on the freighter and eliminating the guards near the container with great dexterity, Batman opened the container, but the container was empty and there was nothing except a card on the ground that read: Haha, surprise.
The second hand sounded, and realizing that Batman in the middle had no time to dismantle the bomb, the explosion occurred, and he only had time to open the portal and leave. The waves of fire hit the other side with the portal that had not yet closed, but it was not a big deal for Batman, but this freighter was not so lucky, and the frantic clown directly turned the entire freighter into a time bomb, as soon as Batman came, he sent this freighter to the sky, along with those little brothers.
Batman, who realized his mistake, looked at the sky-high fire on the harbor, and roared unwillingly, he was negligent, he was careless, and a nobody he didn't care about almost let him die in the fire. But that's not all, Batman also has his own backup plan, in the upper part of Gotham City, in an apartment, a big fat man with a fat brain was sleeping with a girl who was not in his arms, and suddenly his scalp hurt sharply.
"Where is the money! Tell me! Matt. David. Pulling Matt's hair, Batman's terrifying voice and black mask turned terrifying in front of Matt.
"I don't know, I'm just an accountant!"
"You're the last person to handle the money, don't lie to me!"
"I don't know! I swear to God! ”
"Swear to me!" After saying that, Batman directly grabbed Matt's collar and threw him out of the window, from the window on the tenth floor, Matt's screams resounded in the sky, looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer, he swore that if he could do it again, he would tell the truth. At this moment, a huge force grabbed his feet, and the instantaneous pulling force made him feel that his body was about to split in half, and Batman's face appeared in front of him again.
"I said, I said, but I can't be here, I'm going to be killed." Matt said.
"You'll be where you belong." After saying that, Matt realized that he didn't know anything as soon as it was dark in front of him.
The movement of the freighter's explosion also attracted the attention of the police, and Gordon, who had dealt with these things, and Harvey, who was waiting at the police station, were led by the bat lamp to a certain place in the port, where there was a fat man who was knocked unconscious and a box of tapes, and the two who looked at each other did not say anything, and directly took the fat man into the police car and pressed him back to the police station. Batman, on the other hand, stands on a gargoyle building overlooking the city.
The next day, all the news media gathered in front of the courthouse, waiting for Harvey. Dent has filed a lawsuit against Manoni, the leader of Gotham's underworld. After a night of interrogation, Matt confessed to helping Manoni launder money, but never explained where the huge amount went, saying that he would not tell it until he saw Manoni in prison, and that he still wanted to live. However, he did provide evidence of several murder-for-hire cases related to Manoni, which was enough for Harvey to prosecute Manoni.
Harvey used this as his first step to bring down Manoni by filing a search warrant and summons to indict him on suspicion of massive illegal money transactions and homicide, while Mannone was being detained by Gordon's team, and the Joker they had high hopes for was not yet known. In the mayor's hall, Harvey and Gordon are discussing the seriousness of this matter with the mayor and the police chief, and they have indicted a whole 26 people in the gang led by Manoni at one time, which is intended to uproot them.
"Do you know what you two are doing!" The mayor yelled.
"Hmmm... Also Gotham City is clear. ”
"You're playing with fire!"
"Don't do that, Mayor, you must know that if you can support this incident, it will be very helpful for your political career later in life, and it will make Gotham City full of crimes a new look."
Harvey's words caused the mayor to pause a little, which is why he is hesitant for now, and if it succeeds this time, it will be a complete death for the rest of his political career. At the very least, he could have a seat in the White House, but this was Gotham, and he didn't dare bet, "How sure are you, Harvey." ”
"It's enough to make Manoni unable to come out in this life, as long as you agree." Harvey said confidently.
"I'll sign this, but you have to be careful, these thugs will come for you, and they will come to me." The mayor gambled, this time the wealth is in danger, and isn't there that Batman? As long as this event can be successful, he doesn't mind canceling the wanted warrant for Batman. Looking at the building outside his window, the mayor sighed with emotion, at this time, a corpse suddenly hung out of the window, the corpse wearing clown makeup, staring directly at the people in the window with unsightly eyes.
After dealing with the Manoni incident, Bruce had a rare sleep, and took the initiative to get dressed and prepare to go to work. As for the Joker, he would wait until he was out again to catch him, but before he could make a move, the Joker made the first move, and Alfred came into his bedroom, turned on the TV, and showed him a piece of news.
[An hour ago, a corpse suddenly appeared in the mayor's building, followed by a video tape, the following is the content of this video tape.] After that, the video began to play, and the footage was supposed to be taken in the frozen meat vault, where a Batman imitator was tied up, and a voice came from outside the frame.
"Tell everyone your name."
"Brian. Douglas. ”
"Tell me, Brian, are you Batman?"
"No, I'm just a driver, I just want to make the city better and take it back from freaks like you!" Despite being tied up, Brian was tough.
"Oh, really! Do you really think I'm a freak! A purple glove is seen holding Brian's large mouth outside the frame, and a knife is slashing at his face. You don't understand, Brian. That's what the city should be. After saying that, the screen switched, and there were only bursts of screams and hysterical laughter outside the screen.
The scene suddenly turned, and the clown straightened his hairstyle and began to speak to the camera. "How's last night's fireworks, Batman. I'm a relatively simple person, and fireworks and banknotes are my favorite things. But you've taken away something that belongs to me, and you've made my city so bad, Uncle Clown doesn't like bad boys, so I'll give you a chance to correct your mistakes, and if you take off your mask and confess to me, there won't be any fireworks tonight, I'm very honest. There was a burst of laughter, followed by a snowflake.
Looking at this picture, Bruce's expression was full of seriousness, and Natasha in the company was also ready to report to Nick in S.H.I.E.L.D., such an incident was enough for S.H.I.E.L.D. to intervene, regardless of whether Gotham was guarded by Batman or not. The clown in this video is a complete lunatic, and this type of madman is often the most dangerous.
"I'll call Fawkes to cancel all of your trips for today, Master Wayne." Alfred left with that, leaving Bruce alone in a daze.
