The big winner in life [Comprehensive]

Chapter 146 God Bless Gotham (Ⅶ)

one year later

Alfred found his young master in the abandoned base of the Wayne family, and the news of the mayor's briefing was playing on the computer screen.

Alfred listened, "In the past year, Gotham City's GDP has increased by 39%, and per capita income has increased by 62% compared to last year. If you think this does not represent the gap between rich and poor in Gotham City If it is reduced, and the living standards of the people at the bottom are improved, then this is a survey of Naihe Island—”

The mayor, Nestor Roberts, who took office a year ago, now has a high approval rating, especially from the middle and lower classes, and the relationship with the upper class is not bad, but the radicals of Gotham City-it cannot be said It is Gotham City that is really divided into factions. The so-called radicals here are the factions that are committed to fighting criminals in Gotham City. One thing that criticizes him is that he does not advocate eradicating gangsters and vigorously cracking down on criminals. Of course, during this year The crime rate in Gotham City has dropped significantly, but Batman has contributed the most.

"What do you think of the balance theory he's come up with, Alfred?" Batman, AKA Bruce Wayne, asks Alfred, who doesn't look very interested.

Alfred looked at the scars on his young master's body, and frowned: "I'm not the mayor, Master Wayne, do you remember that you have limits?"

"Batman doesn't." Bruce Wayne pulled down his shirt to cover the old scars on his body. "Although he has boosted the economy of Gotham City, such a vague attitude will only fuel the arrogance of the gangsters."

"I remember that he has always supported the legal and reasonable fight against criminals. He doesn't seem to mind Batman's actions outside. He has never said in public that Batman is a criminal to fight." Alfred's standpoint is always hope that he From the point of view that the young master is no longer so hard, he is obviously guarding Gotham, but many people who don't understand him regard him as a criminal who ignores the law, and many police officers in the police station think so.

Bruce Wayne paused, and he pursed the corners of his mouth: "Every day Batman acts outside, it means that Gotham City's law enforcement agencies are not strong enough. His attitude really can't make me trust him—" Wayne What the young master didn't finish was to put down the burden of guarding Gotham, take off the Batman mask, and fulfill a promise made a year ago.

"Oh, then you will definitely support the new prosecutor." Alfred had seen the news about the new prosecutor Harvey Dent on the computer monitoring screen before. He advocated vigorously cracking down on criminals, In the interview, he also mentioned his ambition very passionately, and with his support, the police station has raided a gang den to find evidence to fight the gang.Such a tough style, to some extent, coincides with Bruce Wayne's goal.

"You need to know if he can be trusted."

Alfred still knew something, he asked: "Are you interested in his character, or in his social life?" , and his Assistant Attorney Rachel Dawson is close and they are dating.

Bruce Wayne avoided the old butler's sight, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Who is Rachel with, that's her business."

Alfred, who watched him grow up, didn't know what he really thought. He looked at Rachel who was talking and laughing with Harvey Dent on the screen, and sighed in his heart.

The same picture also appeared on the projection screen of the Arkham Sanitarium. Moriarty has been proud recently, because the one-year period is approaching, and now it is obvious that he has a greater chance of winning.When he saw the picture on the projection screen, Moriarty pursed his lips: "My dear, it seems that your first Mr. Jiufen was cheated."

"Are you surprised?"

"Of course not, I just want to lament that the weakness of the little bat is too obvious." Moriarty sighed pretendingly, "It's easy for bad guys to catch him and attack him, or even destroy him."

"But before that, we need to know the true identity of Batman."

"Sweetheart, are you testing me? To know the true identity of Batman, well, I thought of ten ways in just a few seconds, oh, now there are two more. That's why I said, he Too many weaknesses, but he deserves your grade."

Gu Qing turned his head to look at him, as if surprised that he would say that.

Moriarty glared at him: "Honey, is it my illusion? Do you seem to think that there are no positive words out of my mouth? No, you think my whole heart is black, yes No? Not right, you seem to think that I don’t have normal appreciation ability? Not quite right either, oh, you don’t think I will believe in the energy brought by such illusory words as belief, right?” He He sneered, "I once believed, but I was betrayed, what else can I do? I can only create my own belief, so that I will never be betrayed."

Gu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I have, but I don't remember." He paused and asked again, "What do you think is wrong with people like us?"

Moriarty lowered his eyes, "I don't know." He thought for a while and added, "But, don't you want to be a goldfish?"

"No, my God, no." Gu Qing denied it very quickly, "You really hit the nail on the head this time, I think I am fine now, let's talk about the new prosecutor of Gotham City alright."

Moriarty followed suit and changed the subject, "Why did you allow him to come to Gotham? He's fighting against your mayor right now."

"#百花吉通,百家证明#?" Gu Qing gave an answer, but was ignored by Moriarty. He smiled before continuing, "Gotham City not only needs blunt knives, but also sometimes sharp blades. A scalpel." And Harvey Dent now looks like the scalpel, and besides, he has a very favorable status and a girlfriend with a special status.

Moriarty narrowed his eyes and said, "You seem to have a sense of belonging to it, dear."

"No, I just don't want me to do a bad test paper." Gu Qing refuted Moriarty's words, and Moriarty was noncommittal, and his eyes fell on the screen where he was holding a coin to guess heads and tails On Harvey Dent, "Oh, it's a double-edged scalpel, which is funny. Seriously, don't you have a better choice for a scalpel? A precise and unrepentant one." Scalpels, and sharper. Honey, you know who I'm talking about."

"I know." Gu Qing pulled out a reduced image from the projection screen, enlarged it and showed it to Moriarty. In the image, a group of 'clowns' wearing clown masks were robbing a bank.Gu Qing circled one of them, and his profile was immediately called up on the screen, his name was 'Jack Napier', what a clown.

"He still likes to lead the way," Moriarty sighed, and smiled sweetly when he thought of something, "I thought you had already taken over all the banks in Gotham City, so what's going on with this one? By the way Again, I like the name you gave the bank, 'PMHolmes', HHHolmes' Kill Hotel, PMHolmes' Bank, it's very creative."

——HH Holmes' Killing Hotel, at the end of the [-]th century, American Chicago pharmacist HH Holmes built a hotel named "Exposition" in Chicago. Its low rent attracted many young women to stay, but the building was full of secret passages With the cubicle, by the time these people realize there's a problem, they've already lost their way there.And HH Holmes will trap victims here for torture and brutally kill them. There are two hundred missing/death incidents related to him. He is the first serial killer recorded in American history.

Gu Qing said lightly: "I still want to tell you something, you think too much, it's just a name."

"I know, I know." It's self-evident that the 'P' and 'M' in PMHolmes clearly represent something, although Gu Qing never admits this, but his calm and breezy attitude still betrays No wonder he, Moriarty, was unhappy.Consulting criminals got a cheap deal and said obediently: "Since you have said that, then I won't ask any more. Well, let's continue to talk about the bank."

"It's a gangster bank, obviously. Since they all have their own banks, how can they deposit money in other banks, but their bank security system is obviously not up to standard, and it is really not advisable to stand still. Wait. After this robbery, I think the public will know more about which bank to choose when saving money.” PMHolmes Bank has been tested many times, with high-tech blessings, so that the criminals who don’t know how many times they want to rob the bank have bowed their heads. However, this seems to have aroused their competitiveness. Many "people with lofty ideals" in the market are studying how to crack PMHolmes bank vaults and safes, which makes the safes produced by PMHolmes sell well.

"My dear, don't be too proud. However, I don't think they will deposit their money in PM Holmes after they were robbed." Moriarty said declaratively, Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, slowly Said, "I don't know that."

Moriarty got the answer he wanted, but it didn't concern him much, he just asked.

As it turns out, the criminals consulted said that after the gangster bank was robbed, when the current bosses of the gangsters got together to discuss what to do, the backup option did not include depositing the rest of their money in PMHolmes In the bank, they offered to buy PM Holmes' safes and vaults, but it's too late to customize them now.

According to the information passed back by their informants, the new prosecutor has signed a search warrant, and the two other banks where they kept their money will be raided soon. All they have to do now is to take the remaining The money is transferred out, transferred to a safe place.

This proposal was unanimously approved.

So when the cops raid the gangster bank, the money inside has already been shipped out.

Gordon was very frustrated. When he returned to the office, he found someone inside. "Why are you here?" Although there was a Batman signal light outside the police station, Batman didn't appear on the rooftop like before, and even he rarely came to the police station.Gordon knew the reason in his heart, but how could he control other people's thoughts so that they could understand Batman's difficulties and efforts like him.

"There's a mole in the police station."

Gordon nodded heavily. When they raided the gangster's bank, all the money in their vaults disappeared, but they left behind the banknotes they marked. Only a few people in the police station knew about this.If it was said that they had all shipped the money away, Gordon could still be lucky enough to think that the prosecutor might have leaked the news, but now that the facts are in front of him, Gordon can't deny it.

Gordon thought for a while and said: "I can give you the list of people who know about this." This means that he still trusts Batman as always. I knew it in my heart, but I didn't need to say it, I just said "yes".

The life savings of the gangsters were still unable to "escape safely", and Batman went out to "smuggle" a key witness directly from Hong Kong.

With this key witness, they'll be able to sue the gang in Gotham City, and catch them all.

And at this moment, the Joker officially declared war on Batman——

He killed a man wearing a fake Batman suit, painted the victim with clown makeup, left his clown card, and recorded a video and put it on TV: "You want to restore order in Gotham, Batman must take off his mask and surrender himself. Oh, every day he delays, people will die every day, starting tonight, I will keep my word, hahahahaha!"

……

"You're nervous, why? Is it because of these scars on my face? Do you know where they came from? Shhh, look at me! I had a wife, beautiful, like you, and she always said I Too sentimental, tell me, I should smile more. But she likes to gamble, owes a loan shark, and finally one day, they ruined her face. But we have no money for surgery, she can't stand it, I just Want to see her smiling face again. I just want her to know that I don't care about scars, so I put the razor in my mouth and swipe it, and it's like this. But you know what? She can't stand me This dignity, she left me, I finally saw the funny side of things, so now I always laugh."

Well, apparently this was said by the Joker, who was pointing a knife at Rachel Dawson, and where the Joker was leading a crowd at Bruce Wayne's fundraiser for Harvey Dent Came in with a gun and put on, as he put it, entertainment.

After the Joker finished speaking, he laughed, and then... was punched to the ground by Batman who suddenly appeared.

The clown laughed nervously, "Now the show is more interesting, ahaha."

After besieging Batman failed, he shattered the floor-to-ceiling windows and threw Rachel Dawson down. Batman let the clown go and chased after Rachel Dawson.

"Heroes save the beauty, I like it." The clown turned around with a gun and said to a group of high-class people who were invited to the party, "Why are you so serious? Is this entertainment program not good? I think it is very good." When his gaze fell in a certain direction, the smile on his face became ferocious. Gu Qing, who was invited, raised the champagne in his hand and said silently: "It's a wonderful story."

Clown: "..." He angrily kicked the younger brothers he led, "What are you doing here? Our show is over, and now it's time for the curtain call. Do you understand the curtain call? Oh? What are you talking about? Didn’t you hear the applause? Didn’t you just hear the noise?” He took a gun and shot at the stacked wine glasses, which shattered to the ground, and the others also let out exclamations, and the clown grinned , "Didn't you hear that?"

After speaking, he walked away swaggeringly.

But when he got into the elevator, he received a text message. After reading it, he quickly wriggled his cheeks, reflecting the 'heavy makeup' on his face. It really had a dramatic effect, and he rubbed his hair twice. Then, he threw the phone on the floor and stepped on it to pieces.

Moriarty leaned over and asked curiously, "Sweetheart, what did you send him?"

Gu Qing blinked: "It's nothing, I just told him that Arkham Sanatorium welcomes him."

Moriarty tilted his head: "So you are still more optimistic about your first Mr. Nine Points? Oh, but he just saved the United States as a hero." Many problems were exposed at that moment, after all, people are facing When the person you love the most is in danger, there is a big difference in how you behave when you face someone you don't know.

Gu Qing said "Oh": "It's been a year, and Jack hasn't figured out his true face yet, so what should I say?"

Moriarty understood very well: "What's the point of finding out secretly, or are you planning to intervene?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "No, I'm going back to prepare a ward for Jack."

Moriarty was noncommittal, and he suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, my dear, do you know what the private research project of Wayne Group's scientific research department is?"

"I can only tell you that it is a powerful invention. As I told you, this is already the era of #技术屋救世界#." Gu Qing knew about this project, and Bruce Wayne made it in private. The project, which uses the concept of sonar and applies it to every mobile phone in the city, can turn every mobile phone into a microphone or a high-frequency transmitter receiver.As long as half of the mobile phones provide a signal, the system can map the entire Gotham.To put it plainly, it is a monitoring system that can monitor the daily lives of tens of millions of people in Gotham City. Under this monitoring mechanism, the entire Gotham City will have nothing to hide.

"That's really exciting."

But someone just didn't understand that, so he learned his lesson, and he...was sent to Arkham Asylum by Batman.

However, their behavior seems to be reversed.As a detainee, Batman is bitter and bitter—don’t ask him wearing a mask, how can people know that he is bitter and bitter—but the detainee, the clown, is extremely happy, He twisted his crotch and was still humming a little song, and by the way he teased the Dark Knight in Gotham City: "You, you just can't just let me die, can you? An unstoppable force hits an unshakable It will be like this when you are an object. You are unwilling to kill me because of the so-called sense of justice in your heart, and as for me, I seem to be reluctant to kill you, because you are so interesting, I have a feeling , we two are going to fight for the rest of our lives, hahahaha, haha!"

Well, Batman couldn't listen anymore and knocked him out.

When the clown woke up, he saw Gu Qing in a white coat. Seeing that he was awake, Gu Qing smiled at him like a flower blooming, "Welcome to Arkham Sanatorium."

Joker: "...I didn't lose." He didn't just compete with Batman on personal aspects, he took Gotham City as a bet, no, more precisely, it was the light of Gotham City.After all the things he did, he finally destroyed the light of Gotham City spiritually, and by the way he gave Batman a hard blow.

"That's exactly what I want to tell you, Rachel Dawson isn't dead."

The Joker locked Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawson in two places, strapped bombs to them respectively, and told Batman the address at the last moment, but the address he gave was reversed, and as he said As expected, Batman went to rescue Rachel Dawson, and it turned out that he would only save Harvey Dent, then Rachel Dawson on the other side would be killed.Watching the woman I love die, I believe that whether it is Batman or Harvey Dent, they will be in pain, and then fall, hahaha!

Gu Qing was happy to explain to the clown: "The traitors in the police station have long been targeted by Batman, so when they make any changes, Batman will notice and prepare for another move. Oh, and one more thing, he relies on His invention pinpointed your position and caught you. Well, he's a good performer, isn't he? Even with a mask on."

clown:"……"

"I heard that you think Batman made you complete?" Gu Qing uttered a subtle monosyllable, "Is that why you pointed a knife at Rachel Dawson at the banquet? That's it. Then you will definitely Glad to hear what I'm about to say next, Rachel Dawson survived the disaster and agreed to Harvey Dent's marriage proposal, they're getting married, obviously the groom isn't Batman."

The first two sentences are completely illogical. When the Joker pointed a knife at Rachel Dawson at the banquet, he didn't know who Batman was.But in general, let him say this, at first glance, it really feels like the same thing.

clown:"……"

"So, in order to play with Batman again, try to escape from Arkham, Jack." Gu Qing encouraged the clown, and the clown was not silent this time, and he grinned, "You're wrong, I don't have to wait to go out, I just wait for him to come in, remember to prepare a room for him."

Gu Qing replied to him: "Isn't a double room better?"

The clown thought for a while, and said, "A double room is better, I like it, hahaha, let's have a party together, and don't forget to call your boyfriend."

Gu Qing was about to get up and leave, and when he heard what he said, he said more intimately: "Don't worry, I will call Mo."

Clown: "..." This is not welcome.

The clown created panic in Gotham City. After the chaos, Gotham City will become more orderly.Harvey Dent, a brave and fearless prosecutor, will sharpen his sword against the gangsters who have been severely damaged in the chaos. The mayor fully supports him, and Gotham City is united.Perhaps, they can all hope that Gotham City will get better.

And Batman, he is no longer the hero that Gotham City needs now.What's more, the woman who was waiting for him to take off the mask and return to ordinary life with him has turned around and become someone else's bride.Then he will continue to be his silent guardian, the dark knight of Gotham City, and will always appear when Gotham City needs him.

Perhaps, the identity of Batman, which was just his mask at the beginning, has already become an indispensable, indelible and inseparable part of him.

……

"Honey, our game, I think I won, what do you think?"

"What's your bet?"

"I want to meet Miss Holmes~"
