29. The rapidly expanding Clown Gang

"According to the first line of our reporter's report, last night the Gotham Police Department carried out an unprecedented large-scale operation, under the personal command of Director Gordon and Sheriff Pete, the Gotham Police Department mobilized a huge police force of 300 people, broke into the center of the island of Ridney, and wiped out the gangsters entrenched in it. ”

The TV made a cacophony of sounds, and as soon as the blonde host's voice fell, the screen turned to an explosion scene that glowed dark red in the dark, and with the heavily armed cops who burst into it, it looked like a war blockbuster.

Then there was a group of grizzled fellows handcuffed and escorted by heavily armed police officers into police vans one by one.

The picture turned again, Chief Gordon, wearing a bulletproof vest, stood in front of the police station, interviewed by reporters, Director Gordon helped up his black-rimmed glasses, facing the camera, he said loudly,

"We have been closely monitoring the recent law and order situation in Gotham City, this Operation Narrow Island is just a prelude, I and all my colleagues in the entire Gotham Police Department will do our best to restore law and order in Gotham in the short term, please cooperate with our work in the next time..."

Kevin turned off the TV casually, he was still immersed in the thrilling battle last night, after Cyber left, when they attacked the Woolz gang position, they were met with a wave of counterattacks, killing 5 workers on the spot, Sergei fired 3 grenades in a row to break the defense line of those gangsters, the furious workers took revenge on the spot, and finally Kevin personally led people to save the gang leader Woolz who was almost killed by a stick.

Then they greeted the Gotham police station, who was ready to "act", and evacuated the scene, followed by the scenes reported on the TV screen.

"Have all the pensions been paid?"

Kevin picked up the sandwich on his plate and ate it while turning his head to look at Sergei who was sitting on the side, this bald man has now become the second boss of the Devil's Gang, and in last night's battle, he was recognized by everyone with his crazy will to fight.

In the face of Kevin's inquiry, Sergei, who was munching on a grilled chicken burger, made an OK gesture,

Joseph did it himself, and they were in a fairly calm mood, and yesterday they took at least 30W of cash from Gamball and Woolz's lair, which was supposedly divided. ”

Speaking of this, Sergei felt a little sorry, but when he saw the expression on Boss Kevin's face, he didn't say more on this topic, he scratched his smooth scalp,

"By the way, Boss, a lot of workers approached Joseph this morning, and they wanted to join the Devil's Gang. ”

"Huh?"

Kevin's action of eating breakfast stopped, the young man was not surprised by this result, for a long time, although the dockers were a large group, there has never been a representative of their power, and the Jamie gang that was here before was a dog domesticated by the Falconi gang, and would not represent the interests of the docklands at all.

After the Devils Gang showed their super strength and background, and proved that they were different from other gangs in Gotham, it was not incomprehensible that these workers who had been oppressed for a long time chose to join them.

But this matter is a bit sensitive, Kevin knows that the relationship between his old Daber and Wayne Industries is a little delicate, once the Devil Gang accepts too many members, it is difficult to say whether it will arouse the vigilance of Wayne Industries, after all, this is the docklands, the port authority, and the agency with an official background.

At present, the Devil Gang still receives salaries from the Port Authority, and once there are too many people, it will definitely destroy the normal economic order of the Port Authority.

After thinking about it, Kevin drank the milk that was placed next to him, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said to Sergey,

"You calm their emotions first, and as for the answer, I'll tell you when I get back tonight, by the way, today you take Steve and the others to the narrow island for a walk, especially the Arkham Asylum, where Boss Cyber is very interested. ”

"Well, got it, I'll be there in a minute. ”

Kevin drove along the Boulevard in the docklands, it was just time to go to work, but the Gotham Piers were already busy, and after Wayne Industries decided to develop ocean shipping, more and more ships docked at the port, and the place prospered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Some of the workers along the way were talking and laughing, some of them knew Kevin's car, those who had participated in last night's battle stood on the side of the road, watching the black sedan leave, and some young people would even wave to Kevin.

This kind of warm treatment is not seen in the rest of Gotham, but in any world, no matter where it is, the common people are tolerant of these factors that will improve their living environment, they are not stupid, they know what is good for them.

The consequences of the improved security in the docklands are not yet in sight, but it will only take a while for a lot of new residents to move in.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

Kevin smiled, for him who grew up on the chaotic narrow island, he was very satisfied with this kind of scene now, this kind of scene that he maintained and created with his own hands.

While the Devils are growing, the situation of the gangs is changing dramatically in other parts of Gotham.

Especially after Gambol and Woolz were accurately "beheaded" last night, the forces they left behind in other urban areas turned into coveted pieces of fat in an instant, and those bigwigs who called them brothers and sisters immediately extended their "friendship hand" to those neighborhoods and those gangsters who lost their bosses.

After some not-so-described "minor frictions", in just four hours, Gambol and Woolz's territory was redivided, and the new leader of the Falconi family, Falconi's brother Maloney, emerged as the biggest winner.

Just from the ferocity and firepower intensity displayed by these gangsters in seizing territory and business, it can be predicted that the chaotic law and order in the Dongcheng District, Xicheng District, and Xiacheng District will continue for a long time.

The gangsters lost the docklands and the narrow island, but they lost not to the police, but to Cyber, Kevin, and their devils, but to their relief, these territories were still occupied by the gangs, at least in the hands of the police.

While the gangsters were celebrating and mourning poor Gambol and Wools, in a dim, dirty street where the suburbs of Gotham and Downtown meet, the houses here were almost identical to those of the original Narrow Island, low, opaque, dilapidated buildings, and the pedestrians on the street were mostly numb except for a few who were in a hurry.

It's dim, it's dirty, it's waterlogged everywhere, there's no shops, there's no outsiders, no one wants to look at the scabies of the city, the epitome of the stench hidden beneath Gotham's glossy exterior, forgotten by the whole city.

It's just another little narrow island, yes, one of the slums of Gotham City, one of the big and small, and another hell on earth.

The narrow island has never disappeared...

"Bang"

The door to the room was pushed open, and the last guy walked into the room, and in the cluttered room was a table with a very clear map of coordinates outlined by a red paintbrush, and several guns on it, brass-colored bullets scattered everywhere, and on the edge of the table, a stack of strange clown masks.

The few people sitting at the table were smoking cigarettes and drinking, their faces were fierce, and they did not look like good people, and in the choking smoke, an old-fashioned cassette player was placed in the center of the map, and a low, hoarse voice was coming from the player.

"Hey, that's what my plan is, it's simple and easy to understand, you see, I only need 5 brothers with enough execution right now to guarantee that we will make a fortune..."

Even if this voice is burned on tape, you can hear the strangeness in the slightly distorted sound, and there is a unique hint of madness.

"Oh haha, I know, you guys probably don't believe me, it's okay... I've given this gift to a lot of people, you can try it at any small bank according to my plan, and if you're lucky enough, if you follow what I say, absolutely... Yes, I promise... Absolutely!hahaha"

The sound is like water flowing down from a hillside, smashing into the trough, only to be raised again in the closing chapter.

"But... Listen to me, but it's just a greeting, it's a test, and when we're familiar enough, I'll pick the best, the best of all the people who participated, and then we're going to start the real game!"

"I can assure you that it's a treasure that you guys can't even think of in your life..."

"Do you want to be destitute for the rest of your life, or gamble like crazy, let me tell you a little secret, my dear outlaws..."

The voice grew deeper and deeper, as if it was really telling a little story.

"Do you know what Gotham's bank robbery rate has been in the last 15 years?"

"24.7%! my brothers! Only a quarter of the guys will be caught, and everyone else will get away with the money they have stolen ... Were they really caught by the police? No, they were just out of luck!"

"I know you're tempted... So, why not take a gamble?"

"Hey-haha!"

"Click"

The sound of the cassette player stopped abruptly at this moment, and the whole room fell silent in a burst of creepy laughter, connecting the last person who came over, five people sat at the table, no one spoke, but the enlarged drawing of the downtown bank in front of him, and the guns that were placed on the drawing, and the expressions of several people sitting at the table.

These have proven what these guys want to do...

"Boss, do you really believe the words of this clown gang maniac? You don't really want to use this "plan" to rob a bank on a whim, do you?"

The last guy reached for the worn-out tape recorder and flipped through it in his hand, until he saw a playing card taped to the back of the tape recorder, on which was a grotesque clown hand-drawn, whose mouth had been deliberately painted a frightening red.

The guys all over Downtown know that this is the unique sign of the Clowns, a weird gang that doesn't have its own hole cards, and no one knows how many people there are, the only thing they know is that the Clowns are very good at planning all kinds of heists, but they weirdly never do it themselves, and use this way of tape recorders to trick others into doing it.

Just like the evil black hand hidden in the dark, the most terrible thing is that the success rate of the robbery they planned is quite high!

No one spoke, no one answered the young man's question, until ten seconds later, the bearded middle-aged man drank the wine in his hand, he wiped his mouth, his eyes were full of madness,

"Why not give it a try, Barney, I think this madman's plan works. ”

"The Clowns have planned 5 bank robberies before, and all but the last one when they were caught by the police because the fools were too nervous, the other 4 were all successful... They can, we can, why not?"
