Chapter 178 From now on Gotham, only you and Harriet
4:30 pm, Gotham United Hospital, Rooftop.
"Sister Harley, don't stand up. There is someone in the Walmart building opposite. He will definitely scan over here regularly."
Seeing Harley stretching carelessly, Reagan became anxious.
Although her movements were weird before, she still thought of safety. She kept hunched over and used the unpowered hood on the rooftop to block the view of the sniper on the opposite side, but now...
"You mean 'Yellow Pages No. 16', Tiago 'Kestrel'? Haha, don't worry, he is more honest than you now." Harley said with a faint smile.
Reagan asked in shock: "When?"
He had been secretly staring at her, and he hesitated many times whether to quietly report the news to his companions.
Harry looked at the motorcade approaching the building quickly and said calmly: "Cobot is here."
Reagan looked back and saw two cars, two black Ford transit vans.
The car door opened and Penguin limped out, followed by forty or fifty gunmen.
"Queen bee, queen bee, we found a suspicious group of people, it's Cobot, what should we do?" Reagan whispered into the microphone.
"Cobot is our employer."
Reagan was startled and said in a deep voice: "I understand."
Then he turned his head and looked at Harley with an inexplicable expression.
Harley was squatting on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the gunman below and sneering.
The gunmen all wore body armor and special forces helmets. In addition to submachine guns and automatic rifles, at least ten of them were carrying RPGs on their backs, and at least ten of them were holding strange-looking net guns.
They are all weapons aimed at her.
"What should we do now?" Seeing that Harley did not give any instructions, Reagan covered the microphone and asked softly.
"Do you have a tacit understanding with the GCPD?" Harley asked.
Reagan was a little confused. He paused for a moment and then said: "Maybe the 'Queen Bee' has contact with them, I don't know. The Queen Bee is the BOSS, and we only follow her orders to do things."
"GCPD is here too." Harley said and quickly retreated to the stairs.
"Buzz buzz..."
The sound of propellers turning came from the northwest, and a few seconds later, a helicopter with "GCPD" white paint on its surface arrived over the hospital.
Reagan felt awe-struck in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of awe towards Sister Hallie who was unfathomable and had everything under control.
"Today, the GCPD is the enemy of the Romans, but they are not necessarily our friendly forces, be careful!" the queen bee's solemn warning sounded in the earbuds.
The helicopter made a half circle around the hospital at an altitude of 200 meters, and there were changes below.
Four cars arrived one after another.
The first person to step out was Gotham's well-known "hero detective" Jim Gordon. He had a serious face and acted very urgently. As soon as he got out of the car, he ran away.
Only a minute later, three other cars arrived. They were not police cars, but Chief Luo and Detective Yiqian got out.
They were also in a hurry, running towards the hospital building.
"Shit, this situation is a mess!" Reagan couldn't help but said.
The queen bee thought he was talking to her and said calmly: "Everything is under control, Needle, do your job well and don't think nonsense."
"Understood." Reagan agreed, turning his head subconsciously, but lost sight of Witch Harley.
what to do?
All kinds of unsettling thoughts came to mind again.
Suddenly, his keen intuition sensed something gently vibrating in the pocket of his special combat uniform.
He turned sideways and took it out and saw, "Buzz!"
A drone as big as a fingernail flew into the sky and hovered over his head with a floral letter... "H".
Reagan remained as silent as ice, and his heart was as calm as ice.
...
Third floor, Ward 309.
"Oh it's you!"
Looking at the penguin who came in with a smile and flowers in his hands, Old Kamai was filled with disbelief.
He was so excited that he couldn't help but want to sit up, but his hands were tightly tied to the bed with restraints.
"Hey, it's me, Kamai. Your expression now really makes me feel accomplished."
Cobot put the flowers into the vase, sat next to Old Camai, and said proudly.
Old Kamai looked at him for a while, his stiff body returned to his natural state, and he said calmly: "I have never underestimated your ambition, but I seem to have overestimated your IQ."
"Kamai, I think you have always been a very graceful person, even when facing complete failure."
Cobot shook his head regretfully, with an obvious look of disappointment on his face.
"Are you very proud?" Old Kamai sneered, "Boy, you are disappointing me more and more."
"Do you think you can make a comeback?"
Cobot suppressed his smile, pursed his lips tightly, and stared at the old godfather.
The old man shrugged and said calmly: "Without me, you might even lose your life."
Penguin stretched his head forward, "Who can kill me? Maroni? That idiot is still wondering why the situation turned into this!"
Your trump card, Harley Quinn?
Haha, you raised her very well, she is smart and rational - after confirming that you were completely ruined and could not be saved, you immediately decided to stay on your own and wait for the arrival of the new king.
Just like those Italians you have."
The old man's eyes flashed slightly and he asked curiously: "You have only controlled Fish's territory for a few months, and you haven't even surrendered to your subordinates. Why are you so eager to take action against me?"
"Haha, I focus on the big cake, but I don't like the little hamburger next to me." Penguin said proudly.
Old Kamai shook his head slightly, "No, Fish's people who sell stolen goods definitely don't seem to be cooperating with your acting."
"Yes, they are really dissatisfied with me." Penguin nodded calmly and said with a weird smile: "But this is exactly what I hope. It's not true, how can you believe that I am in a state of distress?
I can't even control my own territory. No matter what I do in private, it will not arouse your suspicion.
For example, I bribed Giuseppe, your great-nephew.
I asked him to arrange for Logan, your direct gunman, to assassinate Maroni, but I deliberately prepared a gun with jammed bullets for him.
Hehe, Logan himself was kept in the dark and thought Giuseppe was conveying your order. After the pistol jammed, Maroni planned to keep him alive to question you.
He thought he had done a bad job and betrayed your trust. He was so ashamed and angry that he pounced on Maroni..."
Speaking of this, Cobot was so excited that he slapped the bed board several times and said with a smile: "Logan was specially chosen by me, and his reaction was already as expected.
This time, Maroni had no doubts.
He felt deceived and humiliated, and then he was provoked by the 'cronies' I placed around him. When the war broke out, my opportunity came."
Old Camai frowned and said: "Giuseppe has been with me for almost twenty years. You have only joined the Falcone family for a few months and you have not seen him a few times. How did you do this?"
"As long as you know what a person loves, you can easily control him." Cobot approached the old godfather and said with joy: "Giuseppe has been following you for 20 years, but do you know what he wants most?
Hey, Harley Quinn followed you for two months and became a Gotham boss.
I followed you for half a year and became a Gotham boss. What about him?
He is your great-nephew. He has been with you for 20 years and he is still a thug and a security guard!"
Old Kamai sighed: "With his mediocre ability, he can only live 20 years by staying with me!"
Cobot nodded in agreement, "Although he doesn't think so himself, you are right.
Just now, he asked me for half of the ‘Falcone Family Estate’, but Butch broke his neck.”
"When it comes to understanding people's hearts, Harry is really not as diligent as you..." the old godfather said after careful consideration.
"Just...diligence? What the hell is 'diligence'!"
Cobot raised his eyebrows, very dissatisfied.
"You think she is not as smart as you? She is just obsessed with improving her personal strength and is too lazy to spend her time on conspiracies."
The old godfather rolled his eyes at him, "For example, your ambition and madness have been seen through by her a long time ago. If I hadn't dissuaded you, you would have died several times."
"She wants to kill me?" Cobot was startled, then smiled again, pointing his index finger at old Kamai, "Good guy, I was almost frightened by you!
It was she who saved me from Maroni last time.
Alone, lone hero, tsk tsk...
You hated me, and you hated her for not coming to save you, so before you died, you left a poisonous plan to provoke me to deal with her, so that we would fight each other while you laughed happily in hell."
Old Camai clenched his fists, feeling the rhythmic vibration of the "Fly" reconnaissance plane, a set of Morse code: Stop talking nonsense, find out his trump card.
He sighed sadly and said: "You have discovered this, it seems that I am really old. Can you tell me where your real confidence comes from?"
Penguin suppressed the anger on his face and said seriously: "Kamai, to be honest, you are the person I respect the most. So, if you have any doubts, I will not hide it from you."
He pointed to the ceiling, "I know there is a group of big shots who control the fate of Gotham.
Remember Arkham Project?
I made a bet with you that day that you couldn't easily take over the entire Arkham Island.
Why am I so sure?
Because I guess the big guys won't allow that to cross the line.
Just like the owner will not allow the hound to break off the leash and rush to his dinner table."
"Have you seen them?" Camai frowned.
Cobot shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Not to mention meeting, there wasn't even a phone call.
In the eyes of the arrogant big shot, even you are just a hunting dog, so who am I?
However, I guess that after I kill you and become the new king of Gotham City, they will send someone to contact me."
Kamai was shocked: "So, you have been relying on 'blind men and elephants' to guess their thoughts and arrange this series of plans?"
"I would like to touch it, but..." Cobot pointed to his head and said helplessly: "I can only rely on it to test and study the thinking patterns of big people.
The first time I heard about Big Shot was when Fish accidentally mentioned it a few years ago.
I have always kept it in mind, but I don’t know why.
Until the Waynes and his wife were killed, I saw Fish answer the phone with my own eyes. He immediately looked solemn and arranged for a dealer to cooperate with the GCPD to use Wayne's watches and jewelry to frame Andy Quinn.
You know, I am Fish's umbrella boy. I can confirm that she was not involved in the Wayne couple's case at all, and she has never even met the witch's father.
But why does she want to help the GCPD?
In other words, who are she and the GCPD serving?
And you.
You ignored Fish's behavior and even planned to kill Jim Gordon who was investigating her.
What power makes you so obedient?
From that moment on, I was certain that the ‘big shot’ was not a legend or something Fish mentioned casually.
By the time I got to the Arkham Project...especially when I was working undercover next to Maroni, I clearly felt a mysterious force helping him.
This allowed me to find out their thoughts for the first time and also verified my guess - they are dissatisfied with you and want to replace you.
When Fish rebelled, he was very confident and killed Jimmy and Saviano consecutively without fear of dissatisfaction from the rest of the family. This once again proves that big shots don't like you.
Since they are all happy for Fish to replace you, I think I am no worse than Fish. If I kill you, they will also recognize my identity.
I think that under their covert care, taking over your property will go smoothly.
After confirming this, I took the next series of actions.
It's not that I'm impatient, it's that they are impatient with you.
When an opportunity arises, I must seize it and take advantage of it.
It just so happens that the affairs of my own territory have not been straightened out. No one would think that I was secretly cultivating gunmen and conspiring to frame the boss, hehe..."
Old Kamai was stunned for a long time and sighed: "You are really a madman, a smart madman. From now on, you and Hariel will be the only ones in Gotham."
The fly in the palm of my hand vibrated a few times in protest.
