Gotham Dark Godfather
Chapter 444: Holding together to keep warm (Thanks to @cocktail shrimp masterball for tipping this b
The branch bosses present did not pick up the information on the table.As veteran gangsters who have been around in Gotham for many years, after hearing rumors that the city hall was going to take action against them, these people sooner or later verified the authenticity of the news through their own channels and methods.So they all discovered that the reporting network was full of their names, and the process of their crimes was also explained in quite detail.
This is actually one of the reasons why they responded to Zhou Hao's call.
"I know what you are talking about! Zhou Hao from Arkham!" A branch director said: "Actually, your name is also on the blacklist. If the people in the city hall are interested in the future, they can directly follow this We have no chance at all to arrest people.”
"That's right! And what's very strange is who reported us. Such detailed information is not something outsiders would know at all!" Another branch director also said.
At this point, everyone present fell silent.In fact, they all have an answer in their minds - James Gordon, the upright and selfless old police chief, is the one who is most likely to unite with the people in the city hall to deal with them.After all, if they knew so clearly about their corruption and bribery methods, it was obvious that it could only be done by insiders.The most famous member of the Second Five, Harvey Dent, was still lying dead in the hospital, so Gordon became the subject of the most suspicion among the branch chiefs.
As for Zhou Hao, although he is very close to Gordon and does not accept bribes.But this guy also came from the underworld, and many ways of making money are not so upright.Compared to Gordon, the branch chiefs were more accepting of Zhou Hao.
"It's useless to think about this now. The key is how to deal with the troubles that the city hall may have at any time." As the instigator, Zhou Hao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "After this period of wind, continue Let’s worry about who is the mole!”
As soon as this statement came out, it set the tone for today's meeting.The branch directors couldn't tell Zhou Hao's thoughts. If they didn't cooperate together in this incident, they might be regarded as the mole who snitched to the city hall, and they might not even be able to get out of this house.
"Since you, Zhou Hao, have convened this gathering, you must have already planned it!" the branch directors asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Hao smiled slightly and began to reveal his arrangement.
As the richest city in the United States, Gotham has no shortage of wealthy people of all kinds.Even outsiders know the legend of the four great families that founded Gotham, but as time goes by, the wealthy families of the past have gradually faded amidst the ups and downs.Nowadays, except for Wayne's value, the three major families in the past have lost their grandeur.
It is said that when the four major families established and ruled the city, in order to resist the pressure from the Wayne family, the other weaker wealthy families formed a secret society and formed the Court of Owls to recruit and train miraculous people from all over the country (mainly traveling around). circus acrobats) to serve as his minions.
Over the past hundreds of years, even though the glory of the past has disappeared, the forces hidden in the darkness have gradually grown stronger and extended their claws to all areas of Gotham.
Of course, all the above are just legends, and no literary anthology or data can support them.
What I want to talk about right now is not this, but a high-end luxury building in Queens - the famous Bowers Hotel. The top three floors alone are worth 800 million US dollars. .The hotel is owned by Joseph Bowers, the patriarch of the Bowers family, and his wife Maria Bowers.Although it is not as brilliant as the property of Zeus, a foreigner, it is also the oldest hotel in Gotham. (This paragraph is excerpted from Volume 52 of "Batman New [-]")
Today, as usual, Mrs. Bowles drove towards her hotel after a day of banquets and socializing, ready to have a good rest.
Unfortunately, when the car arrived at the hotel entrance, it was already surrounded by a large number of police.
Mrs. Bowles frowned and gestured for the driver to take a detour.As a businesswoman, and her husband is also an important member of the city hall, she does not want to have any contact with these greedy crows.
Unexpectedly, before the car could turn around, police officers were already surrounding him.One of them even came up and knocked on the glass, indicating to open the window.
"Do you know who I am?" Mrs. Bowles opened the window in displeasure and said, "No matter what you are going to do, I don't have the time or mood to delay here now!"
The police officer saluted, nodded and said:
"That goes without saying, noble lady, but we received a call from the police saying that someone committed suicide here, and we had to rush over to deal with it."
At this Mrs. Bowles's frown deepened.Generally speaking, hotels often encounter such misfortunes. As a typical example of decadent capitalism, Gotham has too many people who are exploited and oppressed every day. Therefore, whenever there is something that can't be imagined, there are always a few who come to the hotel to have fun. The drama of jumping off a building.Therefore, once something like this happens, the hotel will cooperate and invite the police to deal with it to avoid delaying the opening of its business.
Even so, Mrs. Powers didn't believe it. She glanced at the police officers present and found that they were all from her own area. They usually received benefits and filial piety in her own store, so she could rest assured. object.
At this moment, the searchlights were turned on, and they saw a pitiful little girl on the sixth floor, wearing thin and rudimentary clothes, squatting on top of the air conditioner outside the balcony. She might fall from it at any time.
"Don't be impulsive. We are police officers in the xxx district. If you have any demands, tell us and we will try our best to help you. Please leave the dangerous place as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, when the girl heard this, she immediately felt as if she had seen a life-saving straw. She excitedly pointed to Mrs. Bowles in the luxury car downstairs and shouted:
"It's her! It's her who tricked me into coming to this hotel. I was forced to pick up guests and didn't even have a minute's rest. I don't want to live anymore."
Mrs. Powers, who had been taking out her cigarettes and waiting impatiently for the matter to be resolved in her hotel, almost burned the flames of the lighter to her hair when she heard this. She no longer cared about her image and quickly defended herself:
"Where did this madman come from? What nonsense are you talking about there? When has this kind of thing been done in my hotel? Officer! Arrest her quickly!"
As soon as this statement came out, the citizens watching the theater around were a little unhappy. The little girl above was forced to jump off the building. However, as the person suspected of forcing a prostitute to become a prostitute, he was ordering the police to arrest her. I couldn't help but There was a flurry of boos, accompanied by malicious boos.
This is actually one of the reasons why they responded to Zhou Hao's call.
"I know what you are talking about! Zhou Hao from Arkham!" A branch director said: "Actually, your name is also on the blacklist. If the people in the city hall are interested in the future, they can directly follow this We have no chance at all to arrest people.”
