Chapter 462: Impartial Law Enforcement Two-Faced Man?
A month later.
Gotham Central.
The lobby of the two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Pablo.
The host of this dinner was a female entrepreneur that Luo Yang was not familiar with.
To be precise, in Gotham City, he is not very familiar with the high-class bigwigs except for Bruce and Penguin.
However, this female boss is really not small, and half of Gotham's celebrities have been invited by her.
Whether it's Gotham's dignitaries, celebrities and celebrities, or Harvey. Dent, James. Gordon, Bruce. Wayne is here. The most exaggerated thing is that the Metropolitan Lex Company also attended the dinner.
A month ago, the Riddler attacked the Wayne Group's charity gala. But it didn't take long for the Gotham celebrities' fear of the banquet to dissipate, and they did what they had to do, what they had to eat and drink, and there was no ambiguity at all.
There are always terrorists trying to make trouble on such occasions, right?
Even if the second Riddler appears, even if the guy who is even more amazing than the Riddler and the Joker comes to make trouble, Batman will also appear and deal with the thorns of the Gotham troublemaker fan group.
Luo Yang, who looks like a successful person, is in a suit and leather shoes, holding his assistant - Alice. Louie, enter the hall.
In fact, the main purpose of attending this kind of occasion is to gather intelligence... By the way, let's show off my young and talented personality.
Luo Yang entered the hall, and before he could stand firmly, a Gotham man came to greet him.
The first one to come in front of him to say hello was Christian Bale, oh no, Bruce. Wayne.
"Mr. Snow. You're here too. ”
"Bruce. Mr. Wayne, this is the second time we've met. Luo Yang pretended to be serious.
Bruce's eyes wandered, and he secretly looked at Royan. "I was trying to contact you. In many official matters, we can have an in-depth exchange. "His eyes seem a little weird, huh? How is it like van......
A little more talking? Looking at Bruce's weird eyes, it feels like you're going to wrestle ♂?
Luo Yang continued to remain calm: "I have to drink some champagne first, I just drove from the company. I have been busy in the company all afternoon. ”
Bruce casually picked up two glasses of wine from the table next to him and stuffed them to Royan and Alice.
"Drink." Bruce smiled, "I'll take you to meet my friends." ”
Alice looked shy: "Thank you... Master Bruce, Mr. Wayne. ”
Bruce took Royan and the others to the table with Dante and Gordon.
Neither Gordon nor Harvey Dent brought any friends or girlfriends, and Bruce Wayne was seated by a fair-skinned, cute-looking young model.
"This is Roy. Snow, Snow Technologies. You've probably heard of him. Bruce introduced. He happily sat between Harvey and the model girl, hooking the shoulder of the young model next to him with one hand.
Before Royan arrived, Harvey was skillfully playing with his heirloom coin.
His coin spun so fast that he couldn't see the front and back of the coin at all...
Seeing 'Mr. Snow' coming, Harvey respectfully stood up and shook hands.
"I've heard of you before, young Mr. Snow." The corners of Harvey's mouth turned up slightly, "I'm Harvey. Dante, the prosecutor of Gotham. ”
"Too modest, District Attorney, Knight of Light of Gotham." Bruce laughed.
Then, Bruce introduced Gordon: "This is the chief of the Gotham Police Department. Worthington. Mr. Gordon. ”
Gordon just raised his head and lit the cigar in his hand to Royan, which was considered a compliment. "Hello, Mr. Snow."
"Or you can sit at our table." Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly, making a gesture of please.
Royan suspects that after the Riddler's trouble, Bruce must have guessed that he was the new Shadow Knight.
"Uh-huh! Thank you Mr. Wayne! Alice said happily.
Without waiting for Luo Yang to nod, Alice sat down and twisted her waist excitedly.
"Okay." Luo Yang sat down in embarrassment and whispered to Alice, "Why are you so excited?" ”
Alice whispered an apology, but her face was still flushed. Being able to share a table with Master Wayne and the Knight of Light is the pinnacle of Miss Alice's life...
At this table, sitting across from Royan, Gordon, Harvey Dent, and Bruce Wayne happens to be the "troika" of Gotham City.
Batman solves the threat, Gordon captures criminals, and Harvey Dent takes charge of prosecution and puts criminals in jail. The efficiency of three people is better than half a city. The cooperation of the three has already paid off this month, and the gang has suffered a great blow this month, with at least 4 senior members being imprisoned in the Black Gate Prison.
After Royan sat down, he chatted freely with Bruce and Harvey.
These two people are very talkative. Especially Harvey, in other dimensions, he is an impartial and selfless two-faced person, playing crime games with one cannon after another.
After a few minutes, Royan turned to Gordon and smiled: "In the past two days, people around me have been talking about Director Gordon and praising Mr. Gordon's wit. ”
Gordon put down his cigar. "Really?"
What Luo Yang said is true, everyone is talking about a story that is rumored to be a good story - [James. Sheriff Gordon, in the courtroom, with his men, snatches dangerous objects from the hands of the mob boss Maroney. 】
And the dangerous goods prepared by Maroney are precisely high concentrations of sulfuric acid. And it's sulfuric acid ready to be poured on Harvey Dante's face.
If Maroni succeeds, Gotham will have yet another tricky crazy villain, the coin-and-"2", the depraved two-face, Harvey Dent!
Royan had already reminded Batman to protect Harvey Dante. And Bruce did remember that.
In court, he and Gordon discover the anomaly in time to prevent a farce and even tragedy.
(In the DC Comics origin story, Harvey Dent was disfigured by Maroney throwing sulfuric acid in court.) In the Nolan version, it was linked to the Joker's plan, so he was framed by the Joker instead and disfigured by fire. )
"If it weren't for Mr. Gordon's action, the consequences of that bottle of sulfuric acid would be unimaginable." Luo Yang said.
James. Gordon responded, "It's nothing. All I'm curious about is how Maroni brought sulfuric acid to court? ”
"Director Gordon, I'm going to have to explain that." Harvey raised his glass, "After all, I also belong to the justice system. ”
Harvey Dent then spat out: "As soon as the sulfuric acid is discovered, the court will naturally be in a mess. Our prosecutor's office also intervened in their investigation. In the end, it was found that the bailiff who escorted Maroni quietly handed Maroni sulfuric acid to Maroni on the way to the court. ”
Gordon suddenly became excited: "Corrupt, degenerate, and bottomless!" He said indignantly, "Maroni has a bottle of sulfuric acid in the courtroom that can kill people, and this kind of thing can happen under the noses of the police, the prosecutor's office and the court..."
Harvey Dant replied with a straight face: "That's right. I want to thank Director Gordon, and I'm ashamed. The judicial system is so bad...", he added: "Although it is only a bailiff who broke the law, I am sure that there must be people in the court who collude with the gangs." ”
"Actually, I have to say." Gordon glared at Harvey Dant: "Harvey, you have two prosecutors who are suspicious. ”
"But Mr. Gordon, the inside of your police station is not very clean!" Harvey retorted.
Bruce Wayne couldn't sit still.
Gordon and Dent of the troika, they quarreled when they said they were arguing... It's also unbearable.
He picked up his glass and coughed softly. "Is it necessary to discuss internal issues on this occasion today? My friends. ”
Harvey Dant replied with some discomfort: "I don't think the procuratorate has a serious corruption problem..."
Bruce leaned forward slightly, and he said:
"Whether it's in Gotham, or in other cities, what institution doesn't have moths in it? Friends, there is no need for us to quarrel today about this part of the degenerate. ”
Perhaps the darkness around us is terrible, or perhaps we are facing many obstacles, or even finding it difficult to find the dawn. But..."
"—I see you, Director Gordon... and Prosecutor Dante. Seeing you, I see that there is still light in Gotham. And your light guides the rest of Gotham. Including me. ”
Bruce Wayne said, Model Girl, Alice. Lu Yi and the young male waiter who was playing soy sauce on the side applauded.
It wasn't the waiter who deliberately eavesdropped, but Bruce Wayne's speech... A little too impassioned.
Bang bang bang...
A woman who walked in joined in the applause.
"It's Bruce. Master Wayne, when I said that, it was... Can't believe it. "Rachel. Dawes took his seat calmly and sat next to Harvey Dent.
Bruce Wayne was still enthusiastic just now, but now his heart is cold. The childhood plum girl who was once haunted by her dreams...
In the hearts of ordinary men, the plot of childhood sweethearts is simply too big. For Bruce, Rachel's significance is also incomparably significant.
However, since Harvey Dent and Rachel are already a pair of "beautiful people", Bruce has long accepted his fate.
For Rachel, he no longer has illusions, and he forcibly extinguishes the fire hidden in his heart.
Heartbreak to heartbreak, Rachel Dawes is still his good friend. The friendship between the two has been maintained for at least 30 years.
"Rachel, you're here." Bruce smiled.
"Well, I just heard your discussion." Rachel smiled, "There's really no need to talk too much about business today, and it's on this occasion." ”
Rachel sat down and kissed Harvey Dent gently. Then she raised her glass: "Let's have a good time." ”
The men and women at the table raised their glasses. Mostly champagne, only James Gordon drank vodka.
"Cheers to the Knight of Light, and to the princess of the Knight of Light." Bruce Wayne stared at Harvey and said seriously.
After everyone put down their glasses, Rachel Dawes turned to Royan and calmly asked, "Who is this gentleman?" Bruce, you haven't introduced classes yet. ”
Alice hurriedly said: "The boss of our Snow Technology, Roy. Mr. Snow. ”
Royan immediately got up and greeted Rachel: "I'm Roy, good evening Miss Dawes." ”
Rachel raised her glass, "Oooh...... I've heard that you're a newcomer to Gotham~" She looked at it seriously and asked, "Are you Chinese?" ”
Luo Yang nodded: "Well, my father is Chinese, and my mother is from New Orleans. ”
She then turned to Bruce: "Bruce, you've become a lot over the years. ”
Bruce Wayne looked embarrassed, and he could only fake a smile: "Miss Dawes, you have not changed, you are still so beautiful." ”
Rachel blushed slightly and took a sip of wine.
"How does it compare to the model lady next to you? Which lady is more attractive? ”
The person who said this is simply making trouble!
Bruce's eyes widened with rage as he looked at Royan...
You kid has bad intentions!
However, after all, Young Master Wayne had been through a hundred battles, and his face quickly calmed down.
After a few heartbeats, Bruce smiled and replied, "I haven't introduced you yet, the newcomer to Company D." ”
Luo Yang didn't give up: "Miss Caroline, probably just an adult?" Looks really young. He asked lightly about the beautiful woman with the same name as his sister, who was actually still doing something.
Caroline waved her hand and said, "No, no, I just turned 20 last week." ”
Gordon and Harvey's faces are a little ugly, and Bruce Wayne's little female companion is indeed so tender that she can pinch out the water.
The tender model is really a strange existence in society. They are young, cute, and know how to show off themselves, and they know how to control money and men.
Bruce smiled and said, "Caroline is beautiful and smart. She will achieve high achievements in the modeling industry and even in show business in the future. Then Master Wayne turned to Rachel with a gentle glint in his eyes. Rachel, on the other hand, is the most beautiful woman in Gotham's legal scene, there is no doubt about it. And I suspect that you are also one of the smartest prosecutors. ”
Bruce did cope with 6.
Harvey Dent immediately picked up Bruce's words: "I'll admit, Rachel is much smarter than I am. ”
As for Bruce, he let out a long breath and finally solved the problem.
