Chapter 11: The Eye-Catching "Chicks"
Tim sensed that there might be a force behind Gotham's drug dealers, a suspicion that came from a subtle instinct. Inspired by the recent dealings of drug dealers. There was absolutely no evidence or clues to confirm his suspicions. But Tim was keenly aware that the tension between the drug dealers had become less intense.
Gotham has a wide range, and it is unlikely that anyone will control the entire Gotham at the same time, whether it is the Black Mask or the Penguin, they will have their own default range. But while maintaining their own range, no one will not covet the "fat" that is close at hand.
The peace on the surface hides the restlessness that swells underneath, and a delicate balance is formed in the long struggle. What Tim sensed was strange now was that this otherwise fragile balance seemed to have some kind of solid character.
Tim couldn't imagine that the greedy guys would really come to some kind of consensus and create a peaceful situation where you do your business and I do my business. It is more likely that a powerful force will intervene to solidify this balance and become more stable, and.... He was certain that this force must have some kind of hostile relationship with Black Mask.
Tim sat on the roof and watched the lights of the police cars below, and mentally added a piece of evidence to his conclusion.
Just now, there was a scramble under his feet, and the two sides of the scramble were Black Mask and Freddy, the biggest drug dealer in Gotham's West End, and according to the clues, the reason for this scramble was the territory at the junction of the West and East Ends.
Not long after the scramble began, a shoulder-fired rocket intervened to interrupt the skirmish, which was expected to last about 10 minutes, and it was the man in the black mask who was hit.
Drug dealers have never been gentlemen, and Freddy's men naturally took advantage of the victory to chase down the remaining few guys who didn't die, and the funny thing is that the Gotham police, who are always late, came and arrested all the guys who had just cleaned up the scene in a timely manner.
Tim took a closer look, there was still Frye's No. 3 person in it, plus so many people were arrested, even if the forces in the West End would not be redivided, at least there would be a lot of guys ready to move, Freddy was afraid that he would have to be honest for a while.
Based on the direction of the wind and the weight of the MANPAD, Tim calculated that the rocket should have been fired from the platform he was sitting on.
I turned on the computer and called up the video of the rocket landing just now and rewatched it, confirmed the angle of the landing again, and determined that from the angle of landing, the launch source was this platform.
After a careful glance, he made sure that he didn't find the slightest clue on the platform, and Tim couldn't help but feel frustrated by his carelessness.
This was the second time, and he couldn't find any clues at all, it was as if it were....
"Red hood?"
The criminals in Gotham are basically normal, but most of them can still find some patterns, and even the clown who has no rules to follow can barely explain his behavior by entertaining himself.
But from the appearance of the Red Hood to the present, his unique way of acting is ruthless. Ruthlessness is usually a description of a person's situational style, which refers to the definition of how far a person can achieve his or her goals.
Gotham has never lacked vicious people, and those who are called by the famous criminals and those who are not named will not be stingy to show their ruthlessness, on the one hand, to eliminate those who are secretly peeping, and on the other hand, there is enough authority to suppress their own subordinates.
But Red Hood is different, he is indeed ruthless, but he is not ostentatious at all.
From the time Black Mask's arsenal was shot to the present, everything about Red Hood has been said by someone else, and he has never shown his face, and no one has ever come forward to admit that he is Red Hood, and it is clear that he doesn't want to be too conspicuous.
This doesn't quite fit the reason why the Gotham criminals are ruthless, so what's the point if no one knows about being ruthless?
And if you look at it from the external emotion of ruthlessness, what this guy Red Hood is doing is like a "great purge" of criminals in Gotham....
“... Probably not..."
Could it be that this guy this time is really a perverted madman murderer? There is also the kind that has a unique object of prey, except that his specific object is a criminal??
This kind of guess can be matched with most of the behavior patterns of the red hood, and the only thing that doesn't match the number is that it doesn't quite match the heart of a perverted murderer.
Theoretically, murderers have a unique desire for gratification, and they kill only to satisfy their desires, and it has nothing to do with hatred. The hunt can be very specific, such as a woman with red hair or a young woman in sexy clothes, but there are also people who will target the elderly and children; It can also be unclear, such as indiscriminate killing, and when you are in a good mood, you will see who you will see as your target.
But either way, they love the thrill of killing their prey with their own hands. The begging for mercy or wailing before the death of the deceased is very tempting for these people. The possibility of a guy who simply likes to kill appears..........
Tim felt that he should go to college to take a course on criminal psychology, there was no such thing as a murderer for the sake of killing from a psychological point of view, but he couldn't find any other theory that could support Red Hood's behavior pattern.
“... Or rather, this is another 'clown-like' madman.... No, it's still not quite the same, the red hood is not as ostentatious as the clown...."
Tim began to worry that if a guy who was as crazy and murderous as the Joker was as quiet and secretive as Batman, it would definitely not be good news for Gotham.
Add to that the fact that if he guessed correctly at first, this character who looks like a Joker and Batman complex is the one behind the integration of Gotham's drug dealers, it would mean that he also has the mind to not lose to Batman.
"Oh my! Don't be like I guessed..."
Tim knew quite well that if there really was such a number one, he would probably be Batman's most stingy enemy, and it sounded like a Batman's degenerate. And it's what Bruce fears most about what he becomes...........
"No, we must find this red hood first now, and then make sure he doesn't turn into an enemy."
Red Hood's behavior so far is indeed frightening and shocking, but so far there has not been at least a single innocent citizen. Well, maybe they didn't find out. But it's also possible that his goal is to keep ordinary citizens out of the equation, and finding him and making sure he doesn't turn into an enemy must be the highest priority right now.
But where to look? Tim fell into deep thought. Red Hood's stealthy behavior makes it much less likely to find him, and Red Hood is hard to find... Gotham's drug dealers are easy to find.
Everything is speculation at the moment, but it is a breakthrough worth trying.
"Maybe I should suggest that Bruce visit these drug dealers in Gotham..."
Tim took out his hook gun and left the platform with a flutter, and when he was completely gone, the man lying on the top of the platform's water tower looked at Gotham's rare starry sky tonight, narrowed his eyes, and whispered:
"Eye-catching chicks......."
