Chapter XXVII
Carmine Falcone was finally handcuffed and escorted by two detectives to a police car.
Police cars were parked in front of the huge building of the Iceberg Casino, and Roy's plan did predict that there would be people in the Gotham Police Department who would be willing to follow Gordon, but he didn't expect his influence to be so great and mobilize so many people.
Chubby Detective Harvey Bullock leaned on the side of the police car with a cigarette in his mouth and said to his old partner Gordon, "How dare you do it." To be honest, Gordon, I didn't expect you to make it this far from what I know about you. ”
"Do what? Escape from prison? Gordon smiled, "I really didn't expect to become a fugitive one day, but I was also encouraged to say it." ”
He gestured with his eyes to the man who called himself the Winged Knight.
"There's one more lawless cross-dressing maniac." Brock muttered, apparently the fat detective wasn't very kind to the drag vigilantes.
Copote watched Falcone being escorted towards the escort car, and was in a good mood, and happily said to Roy, "Wing rider, huh?" Seriously, you're so promising, much more promising than that old bat! The old bat always thought very highly of myself and thought I was a despicable criminal. What he couldn't see was that I saved Gotham City in the first place! I took over everything in Falcone, kept the violence out of the streets, and put an end to the days when kids were blocking guns for gangsters, and I was supposed to be a hero in Gotham. ”
Taking a deep puff on his cigar, Colbert rolled up his wicked little eyes and asked, "How's it going?" Interested in working together in the future? ”
"This time, according to the agreement, we will acquit you. And we won't deny your important role in the process of bringing down Falcone. Roy said indifferently, "But don't forget that we are enemies." That's the end of our ally. Next time, I'll catch you. ”
Copote's face was cold, but for a moment, his expression quickly returned to his senses.
"It's chilling." He snorted and chirped and stopped talking.
Before Falcone was taken into the escort car, he finally turned around and said viciously to Copote: "You deformed penguin, don't think this is the end!" I'll be back, and when the time comes, you'll all be the target of my revenge! ”
"Oh, I'm scared." Instead of being afraid, Copote burst out laughing.
"Wait a minute." Roy suddenly said to Falcone, "You want the newly developed sonic weapon of Wayne Enterprises, why?" ”
Falcone glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Sonic weapons? I don't know. ”
Roy frowned slightly, but there was no more chance to ask, because Falcone had already been locked up in the escort car, and the car rolled up a puff of dust and drove away.
Since it wasn't Falcone who wanted the sonic weapon, then it was the League of Assassins themselves who wanted it?
According to his previous suspicions, Falcone had found a way to contact the Assassin Alliance's foreign aid from outside before he had the confidence to return to Gotham. The prototype sonic weapon developed by Wayne should have been stolen by Falcone through the Assassin Alliance. Falcone was busy waging a gang war with Colbert, and it made sense to have this weapon at his disposal.
But if that's the case, then Falcone hasn't shown his trump card until he was just caught, why?
The only explanation is that the card is not in his hand at all.
In this way, this ring of speculation is also based on a preconceived idea. The first person to emerge was Carmine Falcone, and later Batman pointed out that Falcone might have a plot to steal it, and then discovered that the Assassins were involved. Therefore, Roy also naturally felt that the Assassin League had come to clear the way for Falcone.
But what if this was a wrong concept in the first place?
Is it possible that the Assassin League took the initiative to find Falcone and expressed its willingness to provide strong support to help Falcone return to Gotham and regain the throne, but in fact it was only the League of Assassins who wanted to use Falcone's activity in Gotham City to cover up some kind of conspiracy against Gotham?
While his mind was thinking, Roy had stopped on the roof of a private house. He quickly picked up Barbara's communication and couldn't wait to say the speculation.
"If your speculation is true," Barbara said worriedly, "isn't that the town-wide gang war in Falcone, and all the troubles he has made, all to cover up some truly terrible conspiracy?" ”
"I'm afraid this possibility can't be ruled out." Roy said, then asked, "What about Nightwing and Red Robin?" ”
Roy promises that one person can solve Falcone's problems, and Nightwing and Red Robin both go to Batman's rescue.
Batman had a precautionary tracker on his belt, but had been knocked out of signal by the League of Assassins. Luckily, there was a spare one hidden between his boots and the mezzanine, which was still active and undetected.
Ironically, according to trackers, Batman is now in the Wayne Building, where he happens to be locked up in his own building. Red Robin and Nightwing have now both made their way to Wayne Tower.
"They're still sneaking in, and there's nothing special going on yet." Barbara Road.
"Something isn't right." Roy said, "If the Assassin League wants sonic weapons, then their purpose is certainly not as simple as winning a gang war like Falcone. Barbara, I want you to hack into Wayne Enterprise's system now and search for all the information about the stolen sonic weapon. I have a hunch that there's something we're missing about this stuff. ”
"Okay."
Barbara's computer skills are so proficient that in the blink of an eye, she has managed to get a complete plan for Wayne Enterprise's sonic weapons. After browsing for a moment, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh! Oh, my God! ”
"What's wrong?" Roy asked.
"This weapon, I'll just send you the relevant part of the information, you can see for yourself."
Similar to the design of Batman and Robin's uniforms, the Wingknight's uniform also has a mobile computer with a holographic projection screen installed on the wrist of the right hand. Roy projected the imaginary screen and began downloading, and Barbara's uploaded materials were quickly called up to his holographic screen.
Then, his expression became serious.
"Is there anything Mr. Lucius has told me about this sonic weapon?" He said, "If you find the right accessories at Wayne Enterprise to increase the power, the sonic weapon can cover the entire city." ”
"If that's what the Assassins League is really for," Barbara lost her voice, "Oh my God! A bunch of maniacs! ”
