Chapter 1660: No Time to Die (23)

"Bang bang bang!"

Spider-Man stood outside the restaurant and knocked on the door, shouting, "Is there anyone here?" Can anyone come and open the door for me? ”

Batman behind the monitor covered his forehead, the first time he saw someone knocking on the door when he was fighting a supercriminal.

Spider-Man banged on the door for a long time, and a gang leader with tattoos on his face and a scar on the left side of his face poked his head out and said, "Who the knocks on the door in broad daylight?!" I don't know it's only open at night, so get out! ”

As soon as the words fell, the gang leader wanted to close the door, but when he grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door in, he found that the door did not move, and what appeared in his field of vision was Spider-Man's punching bag-sized fist.

With a "bang" punch, Spider-Man directly smashed the gang leader who opened the door to the ground, and then he pushed the door out, squeezing himself through the gap.

"Someone! Come! Someone broke in! The gang leader clutched the bridge of his broken nose and shouted, "Come on!" There are no long-eyed people who are coming to smash the field again!! ”

"Hulala", after a chaotic sound, all kinds of disheveled gangster thugs rushed out with guns, and shouted while loading the guns: "Which one is dead?" Dare to come to the Penguin Boss's yard to make trouble?! ”

"How many people are coming from the other side? I'm going to make them die ugly!! ”

"The boss is talking to the mayor about business, whoever makes trouble at this juncture, the boss will definitely let him die without a whole body!"

"I'm sorry, but I want to ask if the penguin boss you call is Copot Oswald?"

A slightly immature voice came from above the gangster's head, and after a subtle "swish" sound, a spider silk fell in front of them.

The leader of the gang looked at the spider silk, his eyes turned into cross-eyed, and in the next second, Spider-Man, who slipped down the spider silk, put him down with a punch.

In an instant, the sound of "whooshing" bullets crossed his ears, and Spider-Man did not panic, pulled the spider silk and deftly flipped to the back of the sofa, rolled to the back of the bar in the lobby, opened the cabinet and turned out the wine box in the cabinet.

With whiskey in one hand and vodka in the other, Spider-Man threw the liquor from the crate like a grenade, hitting the gangsters in the head with precision, only to hear "bang bang", followed by a whoop of screams.

The bottle of liquor shattered against the hard skull, the liquor spilled out, and the sparks from the bullets grazed the metal object ignited the alcohol, and the hall burst into flames.

The gangsters were bleeding from the bottles on their heads, and when they came to their senses, they found that expensive liquor had been spilled on the floor, half of the sofa was burning, and the beautiful wallpaper and soft curtains were all stained with flames.

"Firefighting! Hurry up and put out the fire! If the restaurant burns down, the boss will kill us! ”

"Water, water is coming, it's all out of the way! Let me put out the fire! ”

"Where's that damn boy? I'm going to shoot him in the head!! ”

Taking advantage of the chaos of the gangs below, Spider-Man stood on all fours on the ceiling of the hall, crawling silently through the hall like a real spider and into the box.

The Iceberg Restaurant was closed during the day, and there was no one in the box, but Spider-Man rolled his eyes and quickly climbed down the wall, taking advantage of the fact that the staff in the restaurant were dealing with the chaos outside, he quickly changed the names of the reserved guests outside the box.

The large box was changed to a small box, the exclusive box was changed to a mobile box, the menu and the phone were changed into a mess, the black figure was scurrying in the corridor for a long time, and the staff who accepted the reservation had worked in vain in the past few days.

So, about three hours later, when the actual opening time of the Iceberg Restaurant arrived, the penguin Copote, who was smoking a cigar and drinking wine and talking about business at the mayor's mansion, received numerous angry phone calls.

"Oswald, what's the matter with you? How could I have someone in my exclusive box at Iceberg? So what's the point of me spending money to book your exclusive box?! ”

"Hello? Copote! It's not that I'm talking about you, even if the big box is booked out, you don't need to change it to the smallest box in a corner for me, right?! There are 12 of us! How is this possible to sit down! ”

"What the fuck are you fucking doing with Oswald?! I'm talking about business in Italy right now, and you call me and ask me when I'm going to your restaurant? ”

"Copote, why hasn't anyone called tonight to confirm my booking? Do you want me to go there and order some more food? Your business is getting worse and worse! ”

Penguin, who received many bad reviews for no reason, hung up the phone in a daze, and then he immediately called his restaurant and said angrily, "What the hell are you guys doing? Why is the booking all messed up? Do you know how many connections this will ruin me? ”

The staff of the reservation department was also very aggrieved, he said on the phone: "We obviously got it right, but the person in charge of calling the restaurant made a mistake, and we don't know what's going on." ”

"I'll go over now, and throw those who dare to mess with me into the sea to feed the sharks!"

The penguin man immediately said goodbye to the mayor and drove as fast as he could to his iceberg restaurant, where he was stunned as soon as the car arrived.

There is only one iceberg left in the Iceberg Restaurant.

The gangsters guarding the Iceberg Restaurant and all the employees inside were tied up with spider silk and hung from the largest iceberg decoration, surrounded by charred black remains of the restaurant.

The penguin man was stunned, and as soon as he looked up at the figure standing at the top of the iceberg, he blurted out that he wanted to shout "Batman", but when he looked closely, he found that the other party did not have a cape.

Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded from behind the penguin man, and the penguin turned his head to see Gordon, the chief of the Gotham Police Department, leading a group of police officers rushing over.

"Gordon, what the hell is going on?" The penguin man yelled angrily, the fat on his face twitching from exertion, and he shouted, "Do you want to arrest me?" What crime have I committed?! ”

In the past, Gordon could only be angry and silent when asked this question by the penguin, because the penguin man did not commit a crime, or all the crimes he committed were covered up, and the police department could not find any evidence at all.

There are many people who believe that the existence of Batman in Gotham is unnecessary, but the fact is that if Batman does not use non-legal violence, there will not even be a single criminal in Gotham City, where officials and businessmen protect each other, and gangsters and gangsters cover each other, because all the processes are legal.

But this time, Gordon stepped forward and flashed his ID at the penguin man and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Oswald, you signed the Gotham Preservation Agreement when you purchased the building to be used as an iceberg restaurant. ”

"The agreement emphasizes that you have a responsibility to repair and maintain this building, as well as to protect it intact and continue to be passed on, so can you explain to me what happened to the fire that burned down the famous ancient building?"

"I ......" Penguin Man, like a real penguin, glanced at Gordon, turned his head to look at his burned Iceberg Restaurant, and then turned his head to look at Gordon, stammering and gasping for breath for a long time.

"I'm a victim too!" The penguin raised his voice and emphasized, "My restaurant has burned down!" You still want to come to me for trouble, how can there be such a reason in the world?! ”

"But just now, the Gotham Police Department received a report from enthusiastic people that you did not arrange corresponding fire protection measures in the ancient Gotham building, and the fire protection facilities were not up to standard, which led to such serious consequences of the fire."

"You have violated the Gotham Fire Safety Act and the New Jersey State Legislature's Historic Buildings and Historic Buildings and Historic Cultural Buildings Protection and Repair Act, please cooperate with our investigation of this fire and come with us."

The penguin man was stunned and was taken into the police car, he never dreamed that he had done all the evil things in his life, and he was invincible in the Gotham underworld and the gray road, and even Batman did not send him to prison, and the first time he was legally arrested was because the fire inspection was unqualified?!

If you look at the law of New Jersey, it can be regarded as unqualified, but in such a dark city, who cares about whether the restaurant opened by a black-and-white super-criminal gangster boss is up to standard fire protection?

Batman didn't care either, so he also stood in front of the screen a little dazed and watched the Penguin Man being taken away by the police.

Sometimes stereotypes and inertial thinking are like this, and even smart people are not exempt from vulgarity.

The vast majority of people think of dealing with the Penguin, either by finding a way to gather evidence of his bribery of officials, or by finding clues that he hired hitmen to assassinate important people.

But Spider-Man no, he really thinks that fire failure is a very serious thing.

So, after he found out that the gang members were not using fire extinguishers, but connecting the faucet from the kitchen, he decisively added a few more fires, and then made a phone call to Gordon, reporting with his real name that the fire protection measures of the Iceberg Restaurant were not up to standard.

In most countries, it is the same as in most countries, if it is an ordinary building, provided that the fire does not cause serious casualties, it is not a criminal offence to fail to meet the fire protection measures, and at most compensation is required.

But the building where the Penguin people bought the Iceberg Restaurant was one of the first buildings built by Europeans when they came to the city, and it is a protected ancient building under the laws of the United States.

The Penguins are legally responsible for the damage caused to the building, and even if they are not prosecuted and imprisoned, they must cooperate with the police investigation, and will most likely have to pay the federal government a large sum of money, and the subsequent lease contract will also be affected.

Watching the penguin man being taken away, Spider-Man jumped off the top of the iceberg with a neat turn, clapped his hands, made a gesture of attention and said.

"Fire and water are merciless, friends, whether you are a normal restaurant owner or the leader of an illegal trading place, you must remember to add a few more fire extinguishers to your restaurant, and absolutely do not block the fire escape!"

"By the way, the protection of ancient buildings is also one of the knowledge we must learn, quietly tell you, I haven't reported him for not maintaining the faΓ§ade of the ancient building on time, these weathering marks and paint peeling are the best evidence, if you are sued to the state court, but you will have to pay a lot of money!"

Batman slapped him on the head.
