Chapter Twenty-Six: Harvey's Progress 2
As soon as Harvey and Rachel walked out of the police station, they were surrounded by reporters, who didn't know where they got the news.
"Oh." Harvey looked at the reporters on the third floor and the outer three floors, quite depressed.
"Do you want to go through the back door?" Rachel suggested that they had just finished negotiating with Liu, and that they were about to go to the courthouse to prepare for the trial, so they could not delay too long.
"No, why from the back door? Sooner or later, it's coming. Harvey's complaint just now was just a knee-jerk after seeing the reporters, anyway, this group of reporters will definitely catch him, and he doesn't care about sooner or later.
"Then you have to hurry up, Gordon has already led the team to set off, don't blame me for not reminding you if you missed the trial." Rachel looked at the menacing reporters and didn't remind.
"Don't worry, it's only ten minutes. You go to the court first. Harvey has the confidence to easily tackle this group of dogskin plaster-like journalists.
Rachel nodded and left, while Harvey took a deep breath and walked to the reporters gathered in front of the police station with a smile on his face.
When Harvey was besieged by reporters, the police station was in full swing, and Gordon personally led the team to arrest the gangsters.
"Get out of the way, we're going to hire clowns. He's right, we have to solve the real problem. Batman. The Russian bigwig, who was dining, looked at the picture of Harvey being interviewed by reporters on the TV in the restaurant and said that Liu had been arrested, so it was obvious that all their belongings had almost fallen into the hands of the police.
And as soon as the Russians finished speaking, Gordon came over.
Maloney, who was having dinner with the Russians, saw Gordon realize that something was wrong, and at this time, the police captain ran over to see them without interrogating Liu, did Liu already hand over the money?
Gordon walked in and first glanced at the live news interview with Harvey, and then said with a little amusement: "Our lad is really photogenic." ”
"Sheriff, do you really want me to be embarrassed in front of my friends?" Maloney didn't want to be caught, but he didn't have the guts to confront the police, so he used that reason to try to get Gordon to come back another day.
"Oh, don't worry, they'll go with you, too." As soon as Gordon waved his hand, the police officers behind him rushed up and cuffed all the gang members.
Gordon was about to laugh in his heart, originally he received information that Maloney was eating here, but he didn't expect the Russian bigwig to be there, which saved him trouble.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, the gang bosses did not expect the police to come so happily this time, so the middle and high-level personnel of the Gotham City gang were almost wiped out.
Harvey's strategy was to make sure that the gang didn't have time to react, so the gang members were taken to court as soon as they were arrested.
Before the trial, Judge Seriro looked at the number of people in the dock, from a few people at the beginning, to a dozen after a few minutes, to more than 100 people an hour later, and finally to nearly 550 people before the trial. Sereiro couldn't help but regret agreeing to Harvey's crazy move.
However, the arrow has to be sent on the string, although Seriro now has Harvey's heart raw, but at this time, if she retreats, it will become the biggest joke in the history of the judges of the United States.
So Judge Celero could only call the trial a head-on, and then turn over the legal materials submitted by Harvey.
"Seven hundred and twelve counts of extortion, eight hundred and forty-nine counts of fraud, two hundred and forty-six counts of fraud, eighty-seven counts of concomitant murder, and five hundred and twenty-seven counts of perverting the course of justice. What does the defendant have to defend? Celero looked at Harvey's submission and was quite satisfied: it was well organized and detailed. However, the number of defendants is ......
Cerero looked at the dock of the entire half of the courtroom and couldn't help but feel a headache again.
Because of the rush of time and the number of defendants, most of the defendants and lawyers did not even have stools, so they stood upright in the temporarily renovated dock.
And with Seriro's questioning, both the defendants and the lawyers opened their mouths, and the whole courtroom fell into a commotion.
The poor clerk looked at the 'loud' dock and made a helpless look at the judge: even if he could keep up with his typing speed, no one would be able to hear what the guys were saying.
"Silence!" Seriro struck the hammer, what kind of trial is this, it's simply a vegetable market.
Harvey and Rachel below looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the gang was 'dead'.
The farce-like trial lasted an afternoon before it was temporarily adjourned for time reasons.
The next court session will be three days later, which is also Harvey's strategy, first to give this group of gangsters a word, this time you can't protect yourself. Ask for more blessings.
And if the gangsters see that Harvey is going to kill them all, they will definitely not care about their subordinates, and they will definitely protect themselves first, so Harvey's goal will be achieved.
And that's what he used to convince the mayor.
"Five hundred and forty-nine criminals were charged at once. How did you convince Cerero to try this farce? As soon as Harvey finished the trial, the mayor called Harvey, Gordon and the police chief to his office, and this was exactly what Harvey said.
"She shares my passion for justice. He, she is a judge after all. Harvey first told a bad joke that if Celelo was really so keen on justice, he would have been taken down by the gangsters.
And Judge Seriro, who had left the courthouse, now wanted to eat Harvey raw: he should not have listened to the crazy plan of this soulless Harvey Dante.
"Even if you blow it up and convince Seriro to convict them, you'll set a new record for the fastest and most numerous." The implication of the mayor's words is that he is not optimistic about Harvey's crazy move and wants to mediate.
"It's okay, yes, those gang bosses have the money to bail. But the people in the middle, the middle members of the gang, they can't afford to wait for the trial and the appeal. That's what Harvey was waiting for, and here comes the most crucial and difficult part of his plan: convincing the mayor.
"They will come to an agreement with us to reduce their sentences. Think about it, a city that has been free of criminals for eighteen months. "Harvey Dent handed over the 'trump card' in his hand, he didn't believe that the mayor would not be moved, this is a considerable political achievement, and the impact on the mayor's future career is immeasurable.
And even if the gang does anything, it is aimed at him, the mayor is completely sitting on the benefits and does not have to pay any price, whether from the perspective of justice, political achievements or selfishness, the mayor of Gotham City has absolutely no reason to oppose Harvey's plan.
"Mr. Mayor, you can't ......" The police chief couldn't help but speak out when he saw that the mayor was silent, as if he was persuaded by Harvey.
"Get out, you two together." The mayor was talking about the police chief and Gordon.
The police chief sighed silently, knowing that the mayor was completely persuaded by Harvey and could only follow Gordon out of the mayor's office.
