Chapter 17: Ordinary People
The cold wind was howling, with a salty smell, so that Sui Feng couldn't help but touch his nose.
In front of the sea, I don't know how many people have been tied to the bottom of the stone.
If you dive down now, I'm afraid you'll see a lot of bones.
But this is Gotham, the city with the lowest crime rate in the United States according to official statistics.
Gotham is an island surrounded by the sea, so the marina is a particularly important facility.
Most of the trade is inseparable from the wharf, which is also the most profitable business.
The current situation in Gotham is that Maroni has mastered the docks and the warehouses near the docks, and with this, Maroni has the right to extract taxes on trade.
It is because of this golden hen that Maroni is able to stand up to Falcone.
When Sui Feng and the three of them came to the North District Dock, the two bigwigs, Falcone and Maroni, were already waiting here.
This is not in accordance with the rules, how can the big man arrive in advance and wait for the little man to arrive.
But today's events were so important that Falcone and Maroni were too anxious to follow the rules.
Sui Feng looked curiously at Falcone, now the king of Gotham. This is an old man with gray hair, but he is very tall, even if he is old, his body is still straight, giving people a sense of elegance and oppression, which is very in line with Sui Feng's imagination of the gang boss.
On the other hand, Maroni, who looked like a brainless muscular man, stood half a head shorter than Falcone, but was much more horizontal than him, and even in an expensive and well-fitting suit, he could not hide his brutality and ferocity.
These two people feel like two extremes, no wonder Gotham can't be unified at all.
James Gordon walked ahead of him, past the guards with machine guns in hand, and came to the front of the two gang bosses in Gotham City.
"Lord Falcone, Lord Maroni, I'm James Gordon of the Gotham Police Department."
Even Gordon was a little nervous about these two. There were only three of them, and one of them was Anatoly. Once they angered the two in front of them, the Heavy would shoot them into a sieve, and the time would be to find minced flesh from the bullets all over the floor.
Sui Feng was also a little nervous, don't look at the fact that he has two stand-ins, but there are dozens of machine gunners in front of him, and Sui Feng will definitely die if he shoots together, but today this risk must be taken.
Falcone said to James Gordon: "Gordon, polite words are avoided. Since you said you can help us clear up the misunderstanding, then come up with your evidence. ”
James Gordon took a deep breath and said, "Lord Falcone, the evidence I'm about to show later may be hard to believe, but please be patient, I can prove that it's true." This one is Anatoly. ”
All eyes looked at the man standing behind James Gordon, and then all showed angry expressions.
Maroney was so angry that he took out a gun, put it on James Gordon's head, and yelled, "You're fucking joking with me, aren't you? I'll make you never laugh for the rest of your life. ”
James Gordon had long expected this to happen, and hurriedly said, "Anatoly, we said okay, tell them." ”
Before leaving, James Gordon had spoken to Anatoly about how to convince Falcone right away. These gang members must have some secret code or something, and if they say it, they can make the other party believe, or at least make them suspicious.
However, the unexpected came.
Altoli, who was possessed by Harvey, made a shocked expression and said, "Gordon, what are you talking nonsense? I'm Harvey, Harvey Bullock, how can you make such a joke in front of Lord Falcone? ”
James Gordon turned his head in shock and looked at Sui Feng, thinking that the effect of the soul possession had disappeared.
Sui Feng was also surprised, as he didn't stuff Harvey's soul disc back, but he quickly understood what had happened.
Anatoly doesn't want to die!
He couldn't bear Harvey's body, so he simply pretended to be Harvey.
As long as James Gordon and Sui Feng are torn apart by the angry Falcone, he can continue to live as Harvey.
As for whether Sui Feng can maintain his possession state after he dies, Anatoly is also unsure, but if he doesn't do anything, he only has one day left.
If you fight now, maybe you can live forever?
Sui Feng figured out Anatoly's thoughts, so Sui Feng took the initiative to speak: "At the last banquet at Your Excellency Falcone's house, Boss Nichola drank too much and quarreled with Fish Mooney, and was slapped by her, and then Boss Nickra splashed Fish Mooney with a glass of wine with his backhand. If it weren't for His Excellency Falcone to make them stop, I'm afraid the entire banquet would have been ruined. ”
When he said this, Falcone's face changed.
Because this kind of thing is only known to the people attending the banquet, and Sui Feng is obviously not one of them.
Falcone walked up to Sui Feng and looked at the stranger carefully.
There are many Asians in Gotham, and there are Chinese gangsters under Falcone who specialize in money laundering, but Sui Feng is different from them and has a very peculiar temperament.
"Young man, how do you know these things?"
Sui Feng said calmly: "Of course Anatoly told me that he died, but I temporarily attached his soul to Harvey. It's just that Anatoly is afraid of dying again, so he is still pretending to be Harvey. ”
These were all things that Sui Feng had seen from Anatoly's soul disc, and in order to prevent accidents, he had already memorized the key contents of Anatoly's memory.
"You lie, I never told you this."
As soon as the words came out, Anatoly knew that he had slipped out.
Everyone's eyes scanned back and forth between Sui Feng and Anatoly, as if they believed Sui Feng's words.
Only Maroni didn't want to believe it, and the muzzle of the gun that was originally pointed at James Gordon turned to Sui Feng's face.
"That's your trick? A psychic medium? ”
Maroni felt like she was being teased, such an important meeting today, this is a big day to decide where Gotham belongs, Falcone's group actually played this hand?
Maroni felt that it was a humiliation, and he would rather go to war with Falcone now than be an idiot and be played with.
was pointed at the head with a gun, and things finally came to the part that Sui Feng least wanted to see.
In the final analysis, it was because Sui Feng didn't expect Anatoly's fear of death, and he didn't expect him to take risks for the little hope he had imagined.
At this point, Sui Feng could only modify his original plan.
"Lord Maroni, I know these things are difficult for ordinary people to accept, but if you can be a little patient, I can let you see another world."
"Ordinary people? Hahahaha! It's the first time in years that I've heard someone say I'm an ordinary person. You're not an ordinary person, do you think I can shoot you in the head? ”
After Maroni said this, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
But the next moment, the gun in Maroni's hand suddenly exploded.
Maroni screamed, causing everyone to raise their guns.
But in the next moment, everyone didn't dare to act rashly, because Maroni, who was as strong as a bull, was grabbed by the neck by an invisible force, and the whole person was lifted into the air.
Only Sui Feng could see clearly that Maroni was grabbed by the neck of the killer queen and lifted into the air. Just now, it was also the killer queen who touched Maroni's pistol, which made the gun explode.
Maroni was careless, thinking that the muzzle of the gun was just aimed at Sui Feng, but he didn't know that he was less than two meters away from Sui Feng, which was exactly within the range of the Killer Queen.
Maroney's face flushed, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free.
Under the aim of dozens of muzzles, Sui Feng clasped his hands to his chest and said expressionlessly: "Just like I just said, Your Excellency Maroni, you are an ordinary person. ”
