Chapter 15: Cutting off the beard
Gotham is a city with a very complex geological structure, and its territory includes mountains, rivers, lakes and swamps that are not small, and of course, a coastline that is long enough and very complex.
Like all wealthy communities in the United States, the communities where the wealthy live in Gotham are located away from the hustle and bustle of the business district, which ensures the privacy and security of the wealthy.
The villa where Two-Face was stolen is located in such a wealthy community, and the dense woods and detached villas give these rich guys enough privacy, and the downside is that only the security company in charge of the community knows who broke in.
The Two-Faced Man cleverly chose such a place to store his loot, and the Red Hood also had his sights on the "fat sheep" because of these characteristics.
Tim sat in front of his computer and looked at the 3D map of Gotham on the screen, thinking about how to get such a huge amount of cash out of here.
Unless that red hood had magic or some kind of ability, he didn't believe he could get such a huge amount of cash out of there in just three hours.
Tim hacked into the security company's surveillance system and copied the surveillance footage of what had happened that day, and after technical testing, it was found that the time period in which the footage was anomalous added up to three hours.
Red Hood will have to enter the villa for three hours, circumvent the Two-Face's own security measures inside the villa, blow up the underground vault, loot the cash inside, and quietly remove it from the heavily secured community.
According to Tim's speculation, it is likely that the Red Hood did not ship the money out of the neighborhood at the time, but instead placed it in a suitable place nearby and waited for a suitable time before transporting it away.
Tim has been monitoring all the entrances and exits of this community for the past few days, checking every vehicle entering and leaving this community. He was very sure about his chances of finding the car, and unless Red Hood was just trying to disgust the two-faced man and not come to get the money, he would definitely show up.
This kind of luxury residential community is in and out of high-end cars, and it is unlikely that the red hood will get a high-end car to transport money, so the biggest possibility is only garbage removal trucks, laundry house trucks, and moving company trucks and other service industry cars.
Tim carefully looked at each car in the surveillance footage, it had been a few days since the incident, and the two-faced man had already begun to figure out which bank to rob next time, and if the red hood really put the money back in the neighborhood, it was almost time to do it.
But where would he put all that money? Tim had been wandering around the neighborhood for so long and hadn't found a single clue, could it really be in a villa somewhere? That's a bit too reckless, it's easy to spot, unless he also has a villa there....
At seven o'clock in the evening, a somewhat dilapidated pickup truck appeared in the surveillance footage, the security guard walked out of the security booth, approached the vehicle, talked to the people in the car, and finally waved his hand to let the small pickup truck enter the community.
"Maintenance workers, I almost forgot about them..."
Tim listened to the conversation coming from the eavesdropper and knew that it was the workers in charge of repairing the sewers, who had come to repair some of the recently unobstructed sewers in preparation for the upcoming rainy season.
"Clogged sewer ?!!!"
Tim suddenly reacted and jumped up and immediately sped towards the community on his motorcycle.
Gotham's vast underground drainage system is a source of pride for the people of Gotham, but it's also true that over time, these labyrinthine underground structures have evolved into hotbeds of crime.
In order to avoid this kind of thing, many newly built communities finally choose the ordinary buried pipeline underground drainage system, which can save construction time, and at the same time can also avoid malicious people from entering the community from the underground pipe network to commit crimes.
This kind of underground pipe, which can barely accommodate one adult even on the main road, is naturally a good place to hide something.
Tim drove down a small road into this high-end neighborhood with a forest, carefully hid his motorcycle, and then used the cover of the night foliage to look around for the maintenance workers who had just entered the area.
It's too strange to come for repairs when it's almost dark during the day.
Soon he found what he was looking for, and the target was at a drain in the far corner of the neighborhood, and without even any intention of hiding it, he pulled out all the clogged dirt in the pipes and shoveled it all onto the body.
Tim glanced at the workers who were busy cleaning up, and then quietly approached the small bush near the pickup truck from the other side.
The dirt on the body smelled unpleasant, and Tim had to hold his breath to get closer. When he got close enough, Tim pulled out a dart and stirred it in the deformed mud, and then not surprisingly saw the shadow of money in the breach.
"Evil...."
After leaving a little distance, Tim had the courage to breathe, he had to admire this red hood, enough to be secretive, the garbage truck full of sludge should not be carefully checked....
The workers quickly got everything done, cleaned up the place, and drove the $10 million, stinking wrecked car toward the gate.
Tim quickly shot a tracker at the rear of the car, which he expected to eventually return to the red hood, he had carefully observed the workers, who were barely physically fit for a long time, but the problem was that their upper limbs were a little too slender if they had been doing this kind of upper body work. These people are probably Red Hood's men, and the guy who has been standing by and directing the other work is probably their leader. They're supposed to have been hired by Red Hood too, like the guys in Bruudhaven.
Keeping a certain distance and following the car, which was carrying the stinking mud towards downtown Gotham, was a clear signal in itself.
"I'm afraid the only thing in the center will be interested in this thing, the woman who poisoned it..."
The car came to an abrupt stop before entering the city, and Tim realized that it had been forced to stop when he felt it. The Two-Faced Man wasn't stupid, he was just as aware of the dredging truck's anomaly, and now his men were blocking the front of it.
As one of the Gotham bosses, Two-Face's methods are not lost to Black Mask at all. Tim felt that he couldn't watch this one-sided carnage unfold. There are only five people in this garbage truck at most, and there are dozens of centaurs on the Two-Face side, not to mention that they are still prepared, and the guys in their hands are not ordinary weapons.
While Tim was thinking about what to do, a large crowd of people suddenly appeared from the woods on both sides of the road. All at once, the original one-sided situation was reversed into a draw.
It was clear that the Red Hood was already ready, and Tim squinted as he watched the two gangs secretly. He wondered if this situation was part of the Red Hood plan, but it seemed inevitable that the fight would be inevitable anyway. Quietly took out his phone and sent an urgent message to Sheriff Gordon.
The Gotham police, who are always late, arrived in full gear at the beginning of the battle between the two factions in a very timely manner.
Listening to the sirens from far and near, the centaurs on the Red Hood side chose to give up, and the two-faced man finally took back the pile of garbage worth $10 million.....
“... Looks like the banks in Gotham will be stable for a while."
Tim looked at the retreating men and horses on both sides and the policemen who hurried behind and only caught a few slow-legged guys, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another thought suddenly came to him. Was all this deliberately planned by Red Hood? What exactly is his purpose?
"Didn't your 'dad' teach you not to be too nosy? Baby Bird! ”
A man with a red hood sat on a stout branch, his figure obscured by the dense foliage, and what he saw through the binoculars made him know that a well-planned fight had come to an end, and that the money he had worked so hard to get was taken back by the two-faced guy, this time he had done a complete free job.
Red Hood looked at the boy with a smug little expression in the telescope, not knowing what he was thinking.
