The day before the new year is about to usher in, and also the day before the holiday, two major events happened in Gotham.
First, a few days ago, the Gotham City Police Chief... no, he is now the former chief. The old guy was found guilty of corruption and bribery. The evidence was conclusive. When he was arrested, he cried bitterly and confessed on the spot.
But this guy is different from some corrupt people. Some people take the money and put it at home without daring to spend a penny. However, he directly transfers the bribed assets to his own account through the stock market and other methods, and then spends his time and alcohol.
So unhappy.
With the arrest of the police chief, a large number of police officers were also brought to court, and relevant evidence was packaged and sent to the legal team in almost no particular order.
This may be the easiest lawsuit the lawyers have ever fought in their lives, a situation that even a dog can win.
And when this incident that originally happened quietly was actually exposed to the public, it is inseparable from the second incident.
Hong Fei did not break his promise, he really took office.
Media from different platforms have written different reports.
"The Gotham City Police Department has welcomed the youngest chief since the city was founded. It is different from any other time in the past, and it is also different from the middle-aged and elderly politicians in other cities who are so-called experienced but have long been reduced to interest brokers. We believe that this young
Director Hong will definitely bring about completely different changes to Gotham City."
"He is the youngest police chief in history, but compared to his predecessor who was brought to court for corruption and bribery, we are more willing to believe that this young chief will bring different changes to Gotham City."
"Many people say that Gotham is the city of crime. What is the root of all this? When a city's police chief takes the lead and his police officers are complicit with gangsters, what else can this city have?
Hope? Now, the time for change has come, let’s wait and see!”
"Has no one noticed that our new police chief is actually a special being with superpowers? There are two superheroes in Gotham City now, and the new chief seems to come from a superhero called the 'Justice League'
A group of people with abilities? Can such power really change Gotham?"
Gotham City Police Department.
Hong Fei just returned to his office from the press conference.
This office is located at the top of the building. Because it occupies an entire floor, the area is surprisingly large. It is said to be an office on the surface, but it actually includes all the needs for living and entertainment, including bedrooms, bathrooms, cloakrooms, and equipment rooms.
There is a wine room, gym and entertainment room, and the decoration and various furniture are all extremely luxurious.
This is a benefit from the previous term.
Hong Fei turned around and threw away his hat, took off his coat, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Harley, who also changed into work clothes and had simple and elegant makeup, thoughtfully brought him a water glass. After he took a sip, she straddled him and took off his tie.
Then, she held Hong Fei's cheek and her eyes were watery: "Thank you for your hard work."
Hong Fei blinked. He didn't say a few words at the press conference just now. He just made an appearance to let everyone know who the boss of Gotham's police force is now. Even the kind that originally required piling up words and drawings all over the sky was enough.
Dabi’s inauguration speech was completely omitted.
However, at this time, he still made a tired gesture at the right time.
Harley held his head understandingly and buried him into her chest.
Hong Fei took a deep breath.
With a creak, the door opened.
Ha Li and Hong Fei looked towards the door at the same time.
Bruce Wayne, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, had one foot buried in the room, but his body was still in place.
Harry curled his lips, stood up and walked aside.
Hong Fei sighed: "Mr. Wayne, don't you know you have to knock first when entering someone else's room?"
Bruce stepped inside and said at the same time: "Sorry, this is my habitual action. I used to enter anyone's room without knocking."
"Sit down, my respected police advisor, what do you have to say?"
Bruce sat down in front of Hong Fei and said a name straight to the point: "Gordon."
"Oh, Chief Gordon?"
"You know him?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised by this.
Hong Fei leaned back and said carelessly: "I am the chief of the Gotham City Police Department. How come I don't even know the police chief under my command? Are you humiliating me or slandering me?"
Sheriff Gordon is also a famous figure in Gotham City.
No matter how bad it was, Hong Fei also knew that there was a saying that said: Chief Gordon's heart skipped a beat.
Bruce raised his eyes: "There are several other police chiefs in Gotham City. What are their names?"
Hong Fei smiled politely: "What's wrong with Gordon?"
Bruce's eyes suddenly showed a look of reminiscence, and he said: "He is a good policeman."
"I agree."
"So, I think he should be able to take on more responsibilities."
"oh?"
"Although I don't know why you want to be a police officer and suddenly become the police chief of Gotham City, I think you don't want to be entangled in a bunch of matters that should be handled by the chief."
Hong Fei laughed: "You understand me very well."
"Actually, I thought about stopping you at the beginning, not through violence, but by persuading those who have the power to appoint or deny."
Hong Fei smiled and said nothing.
Bruce continued: "But your methods are still beyond my imagination. Until now, I don't know what method you used to make them support you so wholeheartedly. Even those who I once thought were fair and honest.
Willing to change his mind."
"This is a bit too much. Their wholehearted support of me proves that they all believe that I will be a good chief. Gotham City needs a police chief like me."
Bruce pursed his lips and did not continue to argue with Hong Fei. Instead, he said: "Continue the topic just now. I think Chief Gordon's ability can completely help you handle many police affairs. Not only does he have a bright and righteous mind,
He has a heart that far surpasses others. He is a good policeman, an old policeman, and he knows very well how a successful police department should operate."
Hong Fei raised his eyebrows: "Hey, why does it sound like you want to seize power from me?"
"No, you are still the director and will always be the director. Gordon is just your assistant."
"But he has done all my things, so who still knows who I am?"
Bruce said in a deep voice: "He does the work, and you take the credit."
Hong Fei paused.
Their eyes met, and Bruce's seriousness was evident.
After a while, Hong Fei smiled and asked: "Does Chief Gordon know about your arrangement? Can he be willing to do it?"
"I had an in-depth talk with him before coming here." Bruce nodded and said, "Hong, I don't know your ultimate goal. I only know that you don't really want to be a police chief, but since you have succeeded
Well, I think you don’t want troubles to continue to occur within your jurisdiction. Gordon is your best helper. You have many subordinates. You shouldn’t mind having one more. And he is just an ordinary person. You can take it back at any time.
Any rights given to him."
Seeing Hong Fei, he didn't say anything.
Bruce started to get a little anxious.
At other times, he can definitely be very calm, but when the whole of Gotham is involved, his inner fluctuations are usually extremely violent.
This is his hometown and the city he has guarded for more than 20 years.
Now that the police station, an important component of urban security, had finally been cleaned up and indirectly controlled by "his own people", he did not want to give up this great opportunity.
Will Hong Fei be the mayor?
Bruce didn't believe it. He would rather believe that Hong Fei would gather all the police in the city and pull all the criminals together and shoot them, rather than believe that Hong Fei knew how to run the entire police station completely.
Although the former seems to be good, you can't just kill everyone for any crime, right? Then citizens are not allowed to directly go to the streets for demonstrations?
And if there were demonstrations or even violent beatings, smashing, looting, and burning, Director Hong Fei would probably have to gather a bunch of police to arrest people or even shoot them to death.
Wouldn't that become an endless cycle?
Therefore, it is imperative to elect someone who understands the overall operations of the police department to help Chief Hong Fei.
After a long time, Hong Fei finally spoke.
"Tell him to come in."
Bruce felt relieved when he heard this, and immediately stood up and returned to the door. Not long after, he walked in with Chief Gordon.
Chief Gordon is no longer young, he is older than Bruce.
However, his aging appearance has obviously far exceeded his age. As a policeman who adheres to the justice camp, he can still stand in a dirty place like Gotham City Police Department for more than 20 years, and has dealt with it repeatedly over the years.
Having killed countless criminals, he is obviously not just passionate.
After entering, he and Hong Fei looked at each other and nodded to each other. At the press conference just now, he obviously also got to know the new director.
He had a calm demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant. Although he knew what he was going to do, there was no resentment on his face.
Bruce sat side by side with him, and then turned his attention to Hong Fei.
Hong Fei looked at Gordon again and said, "Then you will be my assistant from now on, and this will be your office from now on."
"This is the director's..."
"It's yours now, I guess as chief of police I should have the right to be assigned an office?"
Gordon did not retort: "Of course, Director, this is your right, but if you leave this place to me, then you..."
Hong Fei turned around and looked around: "I think I will rarely come here again in the future."
Gordon frowned.
Bruce patted him on the back in reassurance.
In Bruce's view, what Hong Fei just said undoubtedly agreed with his suggestion. On the surface, Gordon became Hong Fei's help, but in fact, before and after the contact, it was equivalent to Hong Fei giving the director's rights in the name of "assistant"
Gordon, and there is no clear deadline, which means that as long as Hong Fei doesn't come back or doesn't think about it, Gordon can continue to exercise the authority of the director until the day he dies.
This is simply the best news Bruce has heard this year, bar none!
Speaking of Hong Fei, he said he won’t come back often. Isn’t this good news?
Bruce thought it would be best not to come back again.
Although Gordon is a flexible thinker, he is sometimes a bit rigid.
He glanced at Gordon, who was confused by the look in his eyes.
Hong Fei then said: "Since you are the assistant, I will tell you a few things to do."
Gordon straightened his back: "Director, please speak."
"First, you also know that many police officers in the police department have been arrested now. There is a shortage of manpower at the top, middle and grassroots levels. Therefore, I am going to arrange for some people with good skills and rich experience to join the police station."
Hearing this, Gordon responded calmly: "No problem, Director, you can give me their information and I will arrange it."
"More than a hundred."
"ah?"
"Don't worry. Although there are a lot of people, I think there are too few in this city. They are all reliable. They will never collude with the gangs like in the past. No matter what happens, you can rest assured.
Go use it.”
Bruce interjected at this time: "Gordon, what he said is true."
Hong Fei was, of course, referring to the group of people headed by Deadshot and Bloodsport. In addition to mastering extremely skilled combat and military skills, they also had personal vendettas against the gangsters because of their previous bloodbath.
Coupled with the high salary support provided by Hong Fei, I'm afraid they will only hang out with the gang if they are stupid.
Gordon: "Chief, it's not that I don't trust you, I mean, if you have more manpower, I can arrange them all. To be honest, although there are still many police officers in the police department, they
They have long lost the spirit and quality they should have as a police officer. Rather than letting these numb people continue to stay in the police station, it is better to replace them all. Since the police station is to be reorganized, it might as well be done more simply.
.”
As soon as he said this, Bruce immediately stared at him closely.
Hong Fei laughed: "Okay! I'm suddenly very satisfied with you now. You can't build it without destroying it. Since the original police station has been ruined for a long time, it's better to blast it to pieces with one shot, and then we can rebuild it on the ruins."
The original order should be in place, so that all the hidden moths and all the tofu-like waste can be completely cleared away!"
Although Gordon was sitting upright, his eyes suddenly became excited: "Yes! Mr. Director, that's what I mean!"
"Then change, but I don't have many people left. You ask Bruce to arrange it for you. Let me tell you the second thing. My people have a batch of unique exoskeleton equipment, and I will rent it to the police department.
People, from now on, whenever the Gotham City Police are out on duty, make sure everyone has one."
Gordon nodded. Although he had never seen the exoskeleton equipment Hong Fei mentioned, he knew the concept. Of course he would not refuse such equipment that could significantly improve combat capabilities.
"Don't worry, what I want you to do is very simple. Make sure that no piece of exoskeleton equipment will be left outside. No one or any organization will have any excuse to take away any piece of exoskeleton equipment, even the smallest part.
Will not work."
"That's... no problem, that's your thing, I promise not to let anyone take it away. But the rent..."
Hong Fei looked at Bruce.
Bruce nodded: "I'll pay."
Gordon immediately cast a grateful look at him.
"Third, adjust the attitude and methods of law enforcement for all police officers, and do not allow anyone to resist law enforcement or insult the police for any reason at any time."
"Fourth, after the New Year holiday, Gotham City's special rectification campaign to combat gangs and evil will begin immediately, lasting for three months, and will be carried out from time to time every year."
"Fifth, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be punished. If you want to march in the future, you can, but you must first report to the police station. Those who fail to report will be arrested first."
"Sixth, the weather in Gotham City is too bad and the sky is too gray. I will move all the factories in the city out. During this period, workers' wages will still be paid. If you don't want to be paid, just stop working. Bruce will take over with full authority."
"Seventh, Arkham Asylum will be renovated. Anyone who attempts to escape from prison can choose to be killed directly during the escape and pursuit. If there is any problem, I will take care of it."
"Eighth, all vehicles and individuals entering and exiting the city must be strictly inspected to prevent any possible dangerous items from entering the city."
"That's all for now, are there any questions?"
Gordon was sweating profusely as he listened: "Director, if you do this, I'm afraid people outside will not agree. Then the pressure of public opinion will come..."
"Pressure? The governor, the mayor, the state Legislature, the city council, the business community, the press, our people everywhere, when I put my gun to their heads, who puts the pressure on me? Who can put the pressure on me?
Who dares to put pressure on me? Gordon, if you want to do something, then do it bigger. Play by other people's rules. Many times it is inevitable to look at other people's faces. Since Gotham City is going to change, then break the rules and shape us.
