93. Gotham does not allow the existence of vigilantes
"Jim, it seems that your popularity in the police department is really bad."
Several police cars, the Gotham Police Department's Crime Squad, are not James Gordon's co-operative partners as they roar into the port area of Naiho.
Generally speaking, the local police station is divided into three main divisions -
The first is to be responsible for ordinary crimes, such as burglary, the loss of the grandmother's cat, and the next door neighbor's complaint of nuisance, etc., which are handled by these police.
The second is the Serious Crime Unit, which deals with more serious murders and kidnappings by robbers.
At the same time, this department will also subdivide multiple groups, such as anti-narcotics and anti-gangsterism are within their purview.
The last one is called S.W.A.T, which means "Special Weapons and Tactics".
In fact, it is the so-called special police team, a law enforcement unit specially used to fight violence and terrorism.
"Isn't it your job to fight drugs?"
Gordon smiled wryly and stepped out of the car and looked at the capable woman next to him.
The other man's name is Renee Montoya, an agent of the Crime Squad and one of the few police officers willing to help him.
Although the responsibilities of the Serious Crime Unit include anti-narcotics and anti-gangsterism, James Gordon, as a police detective, has bypassed his boss and the leader of the Serious Crime Unit without authorization to provide information and dispatch police forces, which in itself is an act of transgression.
"Jim, you can just be transferred to the Crime Unit, at least it's better than patrolling the streets in a police car every day and watching your partner blackmail the hawkers."
Montoya said jokingly.
"How good can the Serious Crime Team be? I've heard that your team leader, Sedrok Daniel, has a lot of private relationships with Black Mask and Maroni. ”
The corners of Gordon's mouth twitched, not to mention the serious crime team in charge of anti-narcotics and anti-gangsters, even like the police chief and the city councilor, they are all close to the gangsters behind their backs, and they are complicit.
When Montoya heard this, she was silent.
She shook her head slightly, looking at the other Crime Squad agents.
They had already put on body armor in the car, opened the safety with their guns in both hands, and waited for instructions to act.
"Black masks have eyeliner in the anti-narcotics team, and every time we send out the police, we end up finding nothing. Jim, where did you get the news again? ”
"I have an informant ......"
Gordon was vague in the face of Montoya's question.
He actually received instructions from Leo that there would be an unexpected surprise gift tonight in the port area of Nai Ho Island.
Although the other party's words were vague, the meaning was to let Gordon prepare for action.
It wasn't long ago that Leo had proven his identity to Gordon.
So this Mr. Detective naturally chose to believe the information given by the other party.
The port area of Nahe Island has always been the stronghold of the Black Mask Gang, and no one is willing to rush into it.
Gordon, who was isolated and couldn't find a helper, could only call Renee Montoya, an acquaintance of the Serious Crime Unit.
"Hopefully, we won't be beaten into a hornet's nest with submachine guns by Black Mask's men."
Montoya, who was walking in front, muttered.
But contrary to her expectations, there was no hot unloading scene in the port area, and there were no violent elements waiting for them, armed with submachine guns ready to fire.
The street thugs in hoodies, bundled up and thrown near the truck.
Their faces were somewhat bruised and bruised, as if they had been beaten by someone.
The usually high-spirited gangster minions are now squatting on the ground like poor little sheep.
"That's ......"
Gordon's gaze swept across the port area, and finally stopped at the warehouse not far away.
He saw a black shadow rise into the air, and the cloak behind it seemed to have its wings outstretched, like a giant bat.
…………
When the freshly baked morning newspaper was placed in Captain Loro's office, the entire Gotham Police Department felt a sense of oppression that was about to come in the storm.
"A masked hero? Bat vigilantes? This is unforgivable! I don't care if this guy is a fighter for justice, a guardian angel, or some transvestite who wants to be a savior, I'll arrest him and send him to Black Gate Prison. ”
Luo Cheng raised the newspaper in his hand with an angry expression.
Today's newspaper headlines and TV news are all about a guy named "Batman".
It is said that he defeated the Black Mask and drove the gangs out of the port area of Naho Island.
In the city of Gotham, nothing is rare and rare, only heroes.
"I heard that not long ago there was a vigilante in Star City who hunted rich people with a bow and arrow, and this kind of violent element is absolutely not allowed in Gotham."
Luo Wei spoke in a stern tone, and it seemed that he was really disgusted by this masked hero dressed like a bat.
"Some people say he's a monster, flying, powerful, invulnerable......"
A police officer shrugged his shoulders and said.
The remark caused a burst of laughter, and many people looked at Gordon as he stood by the door.
"A freak who likes to wear fancy clothes. I've seen a lot of this kind of guy who wants to be in the limelight. ”
Luo Cheng looked contemptuous, when did Gotham ever have a real hero?
"But he wiped out the Black Mask gang......"
Gordon, who remained silent, raised his hand, he had an unrealistically beautiful fantasy about the dark shadow of the bat he had seen last night.
Maybe that will be the hero that Gotham has been waiting for for a long time?
No one had ever dared to do this before, single-handedly taking down dozens of gangsters and bringing those criminals to justice.
Although the black mask as the leader escaped, the port area, which was originally smoky and miasma, finally returned to calm.
"No one can lynching in my jurisdiction! Also, Gordon, I haven't settled accounts with you about your dispatch with the Serious Crime Team yesterday! ”
Captain Lo looked at Gordon, who didn't usually have much presence, he had never liked this diehard.
Bypassed himself to contact the Crime Squad, and then dispatched police forces to dismantle the gangs in the port area.
This credit would have had its own, but now I can only watch the news media throw all the praise to Batman.
"Captain Luo, I can hear you speaking when I stand at the door."
Just as the police chief was trying to find a reason to send the obnoxious James Gordon somewhere else, a voice interrupted him.
"Chief Superintendent of Police...... I'm just making a few insignificant personal comments about last night's vigilante incident in the port area of Naho Island. ”
Luo Cheng's anger came and went quickly.
Seeing his boss, Chief Superintendent Arnold, his angry face immediately changed to a smile.
There are several types of police in the United States, such as the federal police, which are mainly plainclothes agents, most of whom are members of the FBI.
There are also state police officers attached to state governments, who are primarily responsible for law enforcement on similar interstate highways and highways.
Finally, there are the City Police, the Gotham Police Department, who are responsible for policing and law enforcement within the city limits, and they are usually appointed by the mayor and the City Council.
As for the lower county police, they are more often called "sheriffs" and are generally not counted because the administrative districts are too small.
In Gotham's police system, in addition to the mayor who can directly appoint the chief, the chief superintendent of police is probably the person with the most authority.
"You can go on and say about the fight against vigilantes, I'm mainly here for Detective James Gordon."
Chief Superintendent Arnold said with a smile.
Gordon, who instantly became the focus, had a bewildered expression, as if he didn't know what was going on.
