Chapter Twenty-Seven: Gangster Conspiracy

Maroni's gangster family is also located in Gotham's East End, where gangsters are much more rampant than the West End, which is located near Gotham University.

To put it simply, because it is the least economically developed area of Gotham, the slums of the West End are compared to there, and it is simply a paradise of simple folk customs.

The gangsters there are very seriously involuted, like the gutter gang mentioned before, a small gang with only 100 people, if you want to control a nightclub, it is almost impossible.

The Maroney gang family owns a restaurant, two bars, a cabaret and a strip hall, which is almost the largest gang in the area.

The Maroni family and the Red Crows have a long history of feud, their territory is bordered, and a bar there is often a fire, and both sides try to control this important traffic point, but in the end neither succeeds.

That bar became the third place in the entire East End, and it was also the place where all kinds of information flowed the fastest.

Thrall was able to gain a foothold in Gotham, especially in the most dangerous and chaotic East End, and he had some skills.

The Red Crows' stealing of the production line could not hide his eyes, and in the basement of a bar controlled by the Maroni family closest to the Three Sides, Maroni lit a cigar and said to his men: "I learned from our old friend, the police chief Victor, that the red-headed boy on the other side seems to want to make some noise. ”

"Yes," said his subordinate, "they seem to have stolen a lot of big machines from the south or southwest, and I know from a kid who lost a bet that their boss seems to want to produce a chemical of some kind, and I heard that he can control others." ”

Sal narrowed his eyes, and he said: "A few days ago, I had dinner with Victor, and he talked about a case, the murderer is a doctor of chemistry, and it seems that he is still a very powerful professor at Gotham University, could it have something to do with it?" ”

His subordinate said, "I have two bodyguard informants next to the red-headed mistress, and he has been in a hot fight with the mistress lately, and I will take something out of her mouth." ”

Sal turned the lighter in his hand, and he said, "If they eat an extra piece of meat, we will eat a less." But now it seems that they don't just want to divide the meat, they want to swallow us in one bite, so let's see who is better. ”

Maroni's guess was very accurate, and it didn't take much effort for him to get all the plans of the Red Crows, and the head of the Red Crows, although very smart, was still relatively young, and was found by Maroni.

At the same time, Schiller also played a part in this, and he did one of the most crucial things, that is, he obtained the recipe for fear gas from the Red Crows, and then inadvertently let Maroney's informant find it.

Maroni's ability to get on the line of the police chief shows that he is much more sophisticated and well-connected than the leader of the Red Crows, and soon, he finds a reliable chemist to analyze the recipe for him, and concludes that it is a large-scale biological weapon with extremely effective effects.

After coming to this conclusion, Maroni certainly can't let the Red Crows' actions succeed, otherwise once they get this important weapon, the Maroni family will never have a chance to come out.

And the first step is to resolutely not let the Red Crows, through the informant in the police department, bail Jonathan out.

On another dark night, Gordon was off work as usual, and his immediate boss, Lantalos, did not like him and did not give him any useful work, and he was now almost the secretary of the police department, and he could not even take his turn to patrol in the field.

So he left work early, and his boss was a little ahead of him, because he was going to a drinking party.

As soon as Gordon went out, he saw his boss walking around a corner, and then a speeding car hit him, and his boss was knocked out of the door of the police station more than ten meters away.

Gordon didn't care much, he rushed back to the police station to call for someone, but before the ambulance arrived, Lantalos was no longer breathing.

Originally, he was a very cautious old policeman, but recently, the Red Crow Gang gave him too many benefits because he was eager to bail Jonathan, which made his greed out of control, and he even wanted to marry the sister of the leader of the Red Crow Gang, so he was too eager to realize that he had been targeted by the opponents of the Red Crow Gang.

It all happened so fast that before Gordon could react, he was thrust into his boss's position.

Of course, this is also a good thing for Maroni, if you want to hinder your opponent, of course, you have to pick a candidate they don't like the most, the contradiction between Gordon and Lantalos is too obvious, in the entire police department, almost all police officers have heard of it, and Maroney naturally chose Gordon.

Of course, hindering his opponent is only the first step, and Maroney certainly wants to produce this important weapon.

He was a little more daring than the Red Crows, and he directly bribed the manager of the Wayne chemical plant to secretly produce the poison gas on a production line for nitric acid preparations.

He didn't even want to move, and planned to produce it in a way that was hidden from the public.

But again, to produce Dread Gas on a large scale, some larger separators and other high-end equipment were needed, and although Maroni was richer than the Red Crows, he was still unsure whether to invest so much.

So he still found the chemist and asked him to manually copy a little fear gas out, the person he found was much more powerful than the Red Crow Gang, although he couldn't restore 100% of the fear gas, but it was almost 80%, although it still couldn't be concentrated, but the effect was also very good.

Maroni saw that it was so effective, so he moved the idea of investing a lot of money, after all, just take a watering can and spray someone, you can make the opposite side crazy, so who else in the entire East End will be his opponent? Once the entire East Side is won, tens of millions of dollars in revenue will be just floating clouds.

So, Maroni rushed to purchase a batch of needed equipment from other states, which cost him millions of dollars and a lot of favors, and hired a group of chemists to work for him at a high salary.

Such large-scale production naturally could not be carried out at the Wayne Chemical Plant, and Maroni did not have a chemical plant on his territory, so he started a fire and killed more than 30 good men, and snatched the small chemical factory from the territory of the Red Crows.

At this time, Bruce finally found out that his family's chemical plant had been stolen, and he finally realized that the gang had already started to make this poison gas.

At the same time, Gordon received a tip from an anonymous person claiming that he had seen a car with a license plate ending in 676, which was often circling around the Wayne chemical plant.

Gordon and Bruce hit it off, and the combination of Batman and Detective reappears, and they quickly find the car and catch the tail of the Red Crows.

Overnight, the Red Crow Gang was raided by Batman, although they are much stronger than the Gutter Gang, there are hundreds of members, but there are no powerful criminals among them, and they are just ordinary gang members, Batman fights in front, Gordon catches in the back, and the entire gang is arrested more than 200 people overnight.

The leaders of the Red Crows are dying of rage, and although they stole the production line of Wayne's chemical plant, they didn't even produce a single trace of fear gas, and the production line and chemical plant were taken by the Maroney gang.

When the angry leader of the Red Ravens is arrested, he points the finger at Sal Maroney, and Batman takes aim at the Maroney gang.

But Maroni is much more cunning and cautious than the leader of the Red Crows, the entire chemical plant is heavily guarded, all members are in a state of high tension, and Batman does not find a good opportunity for a while.

Knowing that he is being targeted, Maroney begins to seek the help of his own umbrella, which is the Chief of Police Victor.

Victor first withdrew the case of the theft of the Wayne chemical plant internally, intending to smooth it out, and then, at the behest of Maroney, continued to interfere in Jonathan's trial, in a vain attempt to exonerate Jonathan so that he could go to Maroney's chemical plant to work for him.

And Schiller, he added another fire to this tension of confrontation between the parties.

Schiller guided the police chief Victor and got a bottle of fear gas concentrate developed by Jonathan from the evidence room, after Maroni got this concentrate, he became more aware of Jonathan's importance, so he kept pressuring Victor to bail Jonathan out as soon as possible.

Before Victor could make a move, a man found him.

As Batman expected, this man is none other than the president of Gotham University.

Although Victor is the chief of police, he is not closely related to Gotham politics, but is the president of Gotham University, and knows many jury members and state legislators.

He was bought by the Red Crows before, and he had a close relationship with the Red Crows, which everyone knew, but now that the Red Crows have fallen, the president of Gotham University is in dire need of the next umbrella.

Without the protection of the big gangsters in Gotham, you can barely move an inch.

The president of Gotham University naturally did not mind switching to the Maroney gang, and when he learned that they were also fighting the idea of fear and poison gas, the president confided to Victor and Pan:

“…… That girl wasn't cautious enough, she was bragging everywhere that she was going to be Bruce Wayne's date, and I kidnapped her while she came to me, and if I could influence the heir of the Wayne family and use his power to exonerate Jonathan, of course, it would be no problem. ”

"With a woman?" Victor asked, "But little Wayne is not stupid, although he is nostalgic for flowers and fools around every day, but he is just a date, how can he make him willing to do things for us......"

"We don't need him to be willing." The principal said.

"You want to kidnap little Wayne? No, it's too risky......" Victor said. "We may not be able to control him."

The entire Wayne family accounts for more than half of Gotham City's economy, and if the idea of beating Bruce fails, the retaliation will be very terrible.

The principal said: "In fact, I have already thought of a way, we kidnap little Wayne, but we don't necessarily have to control him, we can also replace him......"
