Chapter 67: Planning and Rescue
The mayor of Gotham died, the broken shrapnel pierced his heart, and he died on the way to the hospital for emergency treatment, and was in great pain before his death.
Director Gordon survived, a large buckshot of an unknown model, which pierced the bulletproof plate in his back, but failed to kill him, and is now in a coma, lying in the hospital.
But what the Gotham government claims to the outside world is that the mayor is alive and that Gordon is dead, dying on the way to rescue the mayor.
This plan, which Harvey Dent and Batman came up with together, is mainly aimed at the Joker.
The planning steps are a bit tedious, but only in this way can you ensure that the suspicious clown is drawn out.
Gordon's death will spark the wrath of the police officers in Gotham, and Harvey, the crime buster, will open a press conference to direct their anger on Batman and bring him to justice.
Because everyone knows that the Joker's target is Batman, and the others are the fish in the pond that have been hit, this step is very simple.
Next, they will swagger and fanfare to send Batman to Blackwater Prison, which is the farthest away from the press conference venue.
In the process of escorting, whether the clown believes it or not, with his character, he will definitely come to hijack the prisoner car.
When the time comes, Batman will take a shot to catch him.
This is also a machiam.
The overall plan was conceived by Harvey, and Bruce agreed, promising to turn himself in and admit that he was Batman.
Gotham can't just have the Dark Knight, or it doesn't need to, it only needs a Knight of Light like Harvey, and only then will it be better.
As for the Graves, the two deliberately didn't mention it, wanting to catch the clown first.
Bruce had already informed Harvey about the reactor and Rachel, and the two tacitly did not refuse or agree to the conditions of exchanging the password for her.
They know that no matter which one they choose, they will cause indelible damage to themselves.
Since you can't make a choice for the time being, it's better to skip it first.
So a bang, big plan against the clown began.
Witnessed by the city's media, the press conference was held as scheduled, and Harvey Dent stood impassionedly in front of countless cameras, like the new leader of Gotham.
Perhaps it won't be long before this young prosecutor, with the support of the people, becomes a city councilor and then a mayor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are two reasons for this press conference."
"First, reassure the citizens of Gotham that we've done everything we can for the Joker."
The media and police representatives in the audience instantly exploded with a buzz, and they all rebuked the Gotham government for its incompetence and inaction.
Harvey, who was already a mature politician, was naturally not intimidated by this kind of scene, quickly skipped the topic, and then dropped a bombshell:
"Second, we're going to capture Batman!"
There was silence again, and the media were already confused, although some of them did have a dissatisfaction with Batman's behavior, but never thought of arresting him.
After all, it's a superhero, like Superman in Metropolis, Flash in Central City, and a symbol of a city.
Just when everyone was puzzled, To, who had blended into the crowd in advance, played a role.
"He's illegal!"
"This time it's worse than ever!"
Their loud expression of dissatisfaction with Batman mobilized the emotions of the people.
Finally, the final word was made by one of Gordon's loyal men, who shouted emotionally, "No more dead cops!" ”
The anger of everyone present was hooked out, and they echoed it, and they instantly found a reason to capture Batman in their hearts.
"Yes, that's right!" Harvey continued to use his incendiary language to agitate the crowd.
"Batman, an illegal knight who disregards the lives of the people of the city."
"It was because of him that the clown appeared."
"If he is not brought to justice, there will soon be a second, or even a third, clown."
People's minds were engulfed by emotions, excitedly telling their grievances, but soon they converged into one voice.
"Arrest him!!"
They waved their fists and shouted in unison, like a group of righteous judges.
Bruce, who was standing in the audience, watched all this silently, and for some reason there was a sudden sadness.
This is the Gotham he guards?
Who knows, Harvey on the stage changed his words: "Should we really bow our heads to people like clowns?" ”
"Remember, before dawn, it's always darkest."
"But I assure you, the dawn is coming soon."
Bruce, who was going to turn himself in, suddenly stopped, and in the plan of the two, there didn't seem to be this link.
I saw Harvey give him a reassuring look, and then said to everyone: "I'm Batman, take me away!" ”
The audience was in an uproar in an instant, and the passionate emotions just now were doused by a basin of cold water, and they all questioned: "How come, this is impossible?" ”
"yes, how could he be Batman?"
The police officer, who knew the inside story, was already ready, and he didn't care about how noisy the audience was, handcuffed Harvey with an indifferent face, and then took him away.
At this point, the press conference ended, and everyone was kicked out of the venue.
This shocking news quickly spread through the hands of the media, throughout Gotham City, and also reached the ears of the Joker.
Harvey was taken to the detention center, and Bruce followed, he didn't want to blame Harvey for changing his plans halfway, he just wanted to know why.
As a result, the Knight of Light of Gotham replied with a smile: "Someone has to die, why can't it be me?" ”
"Besides, that way you can free up your hands to deal with the Joker."
"Batman is far more important than me as a prosecutor."
Batman, who didn't talk much, was silent for a long time, and then said, "Stay safe." ”
At this moment, the two men truly became friends.
Bruce puts Harvey in the prisoner van and immediately rushes back to the Batcave to get ready for anything.
And in a house somewhere in Gotham City, the younger brother Roman stared at the TV with both eyes, and shouted to the big man on the sofa behind him without looking back: "Boss, look! ”
"It turns out that Harvey Dent is Batman, not Bruce Wayne at all!"
Lu Wu, who was stuffing lead bullets into the drum, looked up at the picture of the press conference on TV, then got up and walked behind his little brother and patted him on the back of the head.
"Gone."
Roman asked suspiciously, "Where to go?" ”
Lu Wu said lightly: "I'll take you to rob the prison today." ”
“???” Roman jumped up excitedly: "Boss, are we going to kill Batman?" ”
"Not really." Lu Wu lit a cigar and said slowly, "We're going to save Andy." ”
