97, serious criminal penguin people
When Gordon was young, he once provoked the Roman Falcone, and everyone in the Gotham police station avoided him in those days, and even the chief didn't dare to say anything.
It was this incident that poured cold water on Gordon, who wanted to change Gotham, and also made him see the dark side of the city.
Gotham, which was under the rule of the Romans, should have been the most rampant stage of the gangsters.
Not only are they unscrupulously engaged in all kinds of illegal businesses, but they are also crazy enough to dare to storm the Gotham Police Department.
Falcone, who ruled the entire Gotham underworld, was almost a lion that no one dared to provoke at the time.
"Detective Gordon, do you think your fellow police officers are ostracizing you?"
Leo glanced at Gordon, who had a low look in his eyes, as if he had seen through the other party's inner thoughts.
A police detective who is so bold as to provoke Gotham's two major underworld families at the same time, who will take the initiative to approach?
Most people would have thought that it wouldn't be long before Gordon would die from a gang-out killer gun, or that there would be a seemingly coincidental "accident".
This kind of thing is all too common, and Gotham has had prosecutors and police officers with justice in mind, but they usually have one thing in common, short lives.
These people will either die from the robbers' shooting, or they will be confronted by a drunk driver driving a truck.
"Probably not what you think, Detective Gordon. Did you know that you are a mirror at the Gotham Police Department! ”
Leo took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Your integrity and persistence can clearly reflect the dirt and ugliness of those who are in the same league as the gangsters. ”
Gordon pushed his glasses, a symbolic smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
He was not happy with Leo's compliment.
The detective had a shadow over his heart, and he knew that Maroni, who was sent to prison, could do anything.
"Worried about your wife and daughter?"
Leo sat down a little closer and patted Gordon on the shoulder.
Of course, he understands how much pressure Gordon is under at this time, if the mission to fight the Gotham underworld family fails, this middle-aged police detective with a slightly bent back may lose everything that is most precious in his life.
"I'll send someone to protect them, you don't have to worry about that."
Hearing Leo say this, a glint appeared in Gordon's eyes, and his sad face quietly relaxed.
"Thank you, Mr. White. By the way, about the penguin Copote......"
"I don't want you to continue investigating him."
Leo leaned back on the couch and directly interrupted Gordon.
His fingers twitched rhythmically, met the puzzled eyes of Mr. Detective, and said softly: "On the one hand, it takes a lot of time to investigate the penguin people, and his iceberg restaurant is mainly used for money laundering, but the process behind it is too cumbersome, and the cost of tracking down is high." ”
"On the other hand, I don't think a serious criminal like Mr. Copote needs to be dealt with too harshly. He was mainly engaged in illegal businesses such as casino money laundering and loan sharking, rather than occupying turf and gathering thugs like Maroney and Black Mask. ”
Glancing at Gordon's changing expression, Leo continued, "In a way, the Penguins belong to a part of the Gotham underground order, and his presence will not create greater chaos, which is the acceptable part. ”
"But Oswald Cobot is a criminal!"
Gordon showed his stubborn side at this time, and said in a serious tone.
Leo's subtext is clearly to spare the penguin people, and even the deeper meaning is to condone criminals like Copote.
"Detective Gordon, Gotham without criminals, that's just your ideal utopia, it doesn't exist and can't exist. For example, after the Black Mask disappeared, his gang was torn apart, and in less than a month, new gangs would be born and occupy the port area of Naho Island. ”
Leo didn't feel annoyed, he knew what kind of person Gordon was, and the other party, like Batman, wanted to usher in a good Gotham.
But it is a pity that they can not eliminate the evil at most.
However, this is a goal that can never be achieved.
Behind the light, there will be darkness.
Demanding absolute justice is in itself an extreme act.
"Next, you will lead people to destroy the banks and banks where the gangs launder money, and cut off their financial resources, which is the real blow to Maroney."
Leo saw Gordon's lips squirm, as if he was about to say something, and directly diverted the topic.
He has no interest in having a debate contest with this Mr. Detective on the principles of good and evil, and he will never be able to convince anyone based on his rhetoric.
…………
Wayne Manor, living room.
Bruce watched the headlines on the TV, his brow furrowed slightly.
He didn't expect that before Batman's operation, someone would launch a blow to the gang in advance.
Maroney's gang was swept away on 49 counts of fraud, 62 counts of extortion, 87 counts of murder, and more than 170 counts of obstruction of justice.
Once these charges are established, it can be said that the Maroni family will be completely wiped out, and they will have to be moved to Black Gate Prison from top to bottom.
"James Gordon ......"
Bruce pronounced the name, his eyes seemed to be in a trance.
He remembered that after a terrible night in Crime Alley, Gordon, who was a plainclothes police detective at the time, had put on an overcoat for himself.
While all the cops were worried about the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, only the man paid attention to young Bruce, to a poor child who had lost his parents.
"Looks like Batman can retire early."
The old butler standing behind Bruce said with a smile.
Gordon is now the face of the Gotham Police Department, and the news media has shifted the focus from the up-and-coming Batman to the righteous detective who seems to be a lone hero.
"It's not time yet, someone is behind it all."
Bruce frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
First of all, Why would the Gotham Police Department condone Gordon's behavior?
You must know that the Maroney family has always had a personal relationship with the police, unless someone puts pressure on the top.
"Gordon was pushed out of the shield, I guessed who it was."
Bruce's furrowed brow furrowed, and he thought of Leo White.
The young man from the Tianyan Society, the wealth and the power behind the other party obviously met the conditions.
"Master Wayne, I think that one has had a similar experience to you, perhaps with good intentions when he came to Gotham. Isn't that the kind of signal he is releasing is that? ”
Alfred whispered.
In his opinion, the profession of vigilante is dangerous enough, and there is no reward, it is far better to be the heir of the Wayne family seriously.
"I just don't trust him enough."
Bruce looked at Gordon, who was surrounded by a group of reporters with microphones on the TV screen.
This righteous rising star of Gotham has a face full of bewilderment.
"I should probably make a change, though."
After a while, the young Batman whispered.
Bruce thought to himself that when this city-wide mission was over, maybe he could talk to Leo once.
