Chapter 194 Make waves again, the clown's first show
"That's the way it is, Sister Laurie, what do you think?"
After Gordon trudged away, Hallie lay on the sofa and hung up the phone to Laurie.
In fact, she has always been disgusted by the tradition of receiving investment certificates.
Because the name of the recipient is very important, that is, the person who is killed must not be guilty of serious crimes.
The more innocent the person is and the more heinous the murderer is, the better the effect of surrendering the indictment.
In other words, there are too many people killed who do not deserve to die.
If two GCPDs were to shoot each other with guns, and the winner used the loser's life as a pledge of allegiance, not only would Harley not be disgusted, but she would actually enjoy watching it.
Unfortunately not
"I never thought there would be someone like Jim Gordon in the Gotham Police Department."
Laurie was filled with emotions.
"The dirtier the quagmire, the more noble lotus flowers can bloom, like me!" Harley said with no shame.
"It's great that Gordon is so ambitious. The question is, are you really willing to give up your current power?" Lowry said meaningfully.
Harley's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Sister, don't test me anymore. Even if I become a godfather, I have not forgotten my original intention to climb to the top of the American power pyramid.
Hedao Emperor is still a gangster, the upper limit is there, and he will never be able to reach the level of elegance.
I don’t want to be like Kamai, stuck in the position of godfather forever, with no future.”
"Very good, you are sober and not lost." Laurie twitched the corners of his mouth a few times and promised: "If Gordon can get rid of Loeb, I will use my connections to find someone for the Gotham Police Department who is absolutely upright and has good character.
A tough and good director.”
She didn't say let Gordon be the director.
Although "Chief Gordon" is famous, Gordon has only been on the job for less than two years, and his previous position was only a police detective.
From the detective to the chief, there are deputy chiefs of police, chiefs of police, assistant police inspectors, police inspectors, deputy division chiefs, and division chiefs.
Three days later, Harley received a call from Director Luo.
He asked her for help.
Cobot led people into his mansion at night, killed his bodyguards, and forced him to retire voluntarily. If he didn't agree, he would be killed.
Harley only said one thing: This matter has nothing to do with me.
Lobu was stunned for a long time, seemed to understand something, sighed, and hung up the phone silently.
Loeb is a very strange person.
Gordon is like a failed Batman, and Loeb is like a failed Gordon.
Loeb's background is much lower than Gordon's.
Gordon's father is the Gotham D.A., and Loeb is an ordinary Gothamite.
But after becoming the director, he was neither greedy for money, nor lustful, nor had any perverted hobbies.
His life is like a standard Puritan.
As far as he is concerned, he has never committed a crime on his own initiative.
The reason why Cobot wanted to force Loeb to retire at gunpoint was because he couldn't find any evidence of Loeb that could be disclosed in court without affecting the evidence of other bosses.
Well, Loeb received the certificate from Harley, but Harley didn't share it with Penguin.
Old Kammer once said at the time: Jim Gordon was only the second police detective to be surrendered, the first being Loeb.
Yes, during the Falcone era, Loeb, like Gordon, did not receive a vote.
But Loeb completely complied with Gotham's "rules": forcing new police officers to submit surrender warrants, protecting the anti-drug team's du-trafficking business, and sending people to destroy shops that refused to pay protection fees to the GCPD.
When Harley asked Old Carmel why Lobb was made an exception, his reason was very simple: Lobb, like Gordon, are people of firm faith, and people of faith do not need to be "pushed".
Gordon believed in law, Loeb believed in order.
In different ways, they are both doing the same thing to help Kamai and Gotham's ruling class maintain their rule.
On the fourth day, Gordon got his police badge back.
On the fifth day, Loeb held a press conference at the Old City Police Station to announce his retirement.
Harley watched the whole process on TV. Loeb was very calm, with a relaxed expression, and even ended his speech with a joke at the last moment.
That was the first time Harry saw him smile, he had always had a straight face before.
Compared with him, Gordon, who had won a great victory, had a solemn expression throughout the whole process, with a deep frown and a faint shadow hidden in his eyes.
Before the official arrival of the director, black girl Superintendent Sarah Eisen was promoted to deputy chief and temporarily acting director.
On the night of Loeb's retirement, Cobot came to the fighting ring with a smile on his face.
He personally handed a CD to Harley.
Harley plugged it into the computer and saw an astonishing scene: In a dark underground car library, Jim Gordon ran quickly with his money bag. Suddenly, a man rushed out from the side and rushed towards him, screaming. Gordon
Almost subconsciously, he drew his gun and shot him in the head.
"He didn't give you a long speech?" Harley frowned.
"What a long speech?" Cobot asked doubtfully.
"Why are you willing to help him?" Harley asked.
"It's very simple. It's the tradition of the Falcone family that he is willing to be my friend." Cobot said with a smile.
"You have helped him several times before, right?"
"Twice." Cobot raised two fingers.
"Your Iceberg Bar opened, but he didn't go." Harley said.
Cobot shook his head solemnly.
"A week ago, you crowned the Cobot family godfather, has he been there?" Harry asked.
The last time the Iceberg Bar opened, Harry was there in person and bought a necklace for his mother.
But when Copperpot was crowned godfather, Harry only asked someone to send him a bottle of red wine, expressing her willingness to "drink at the same table" with him.
Cobot shook his head again, "He went to your place?"
Harley also shook her head, "He has already severed his personal friendship with me."
Cobot sneered: "I helped him twice before, and each time he came to me, but he never reciprocated my friendship.
So, this time I directly told him that if you help me, I will help you again. This is friendship!
I want him to help me go to Ogden to collect the bill. The money is not much, just fifty thousand dollars."
Harley pointed to the video, "Is that just for this?"
Cobot smiled proudly and said: "I have no other merits except that I am good at reading people.
Ogden is a greedy fool who dares to take my money, so he must not be willing to pay him honestly.
And Gordon has a kind of paranoia that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Especially when he is in a desperate situation, he can be very crazy.
So hehehe, the effect is better than I thought."
In the video, the person beaten to death by Gordon was none other than Ogden.
"Does Gordon know?" Harley asked.
Cobot said with a complicated expression: "I really want to make friends with him, but of course I will not show the video and make him feel that he is being blackmailed.
But I also know that after achieving his goal, he will turn around and abandon my friendship, just like the previous two times. Therefore, I must leave the video so that he will never get rid of me!"
Harley's mouth twitched, "Do you like him that much?"
"Oh, I'm so lonely. In this huge Gotham, apart from you, I am the only friend." Cobblet looked at Harley sincerely and said in a sentimental tone.
"Well, we are good friends." Harley responded to him with sincere eyes and asked, "Have anyone from the court come to you?"
Cobot also looked into her eyes and said, "When I meet you this time, Gordon is second to none, but mainly wants to ask you this question."
"What are they hesitating about?" Harley frowned.
"It's definitely not an ostrich. They must be observing and examining how we rule the underground world of Gotham." Cobot said with certainty.
Then, he tentatively said: "You and I have both been 'betrayed' by the court, and we are not the ones they chose.
If you don’t find a way to gain their approval, you will only be afraid of the future.”
"Do you think we can only secure our seats if we get their approval?" Harley said with a smile.
Cobot said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, they drove away Kamai easily!
There is no shortage of ambitious people in Gotham, and as long as the court gives someone in our family a hint, things will happen again.
Even if we eventually suppress the rebellion, each rebellion will take a toll on our strength."
"What do you think?" Harley asked.
"I found the 'Katherine'." Cobot said with an incomprehensible expression.
Harley smiled, "I also found her earlier, but it was of no use. She also guessed that she had been exposed.
Given the strict organization of the court, she will definitely not reveal any flaws."
"We can talk to her."
Harry shook his head and said, "When I go to see her, I have to show my sincerity.
But they want my life.
When she comes to see me, she must give me sincerity.
I really want to know why they targeted me."
Cobot thought thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Okay, just hang out with them and wait for her to come to us. We have established an offensive and defensive alliance regarding the court matter, right?"
"Cobot, we are good friends, and we can be allies in many things." Harley said meaningfully.
Cobot came happily and left happily.
In the next half month, Harley continued to focus on farming: improving her own strength and training her trusted subordinates using the training methods of Shadow Warrior.
Every day, her strength and power grows.
However, one afternoon in early March, a big disturbance occurred in the "harmonious and peaceful" Gotham.
Perverted murders, street shootouts, and bank robberies are commonplace in Gotham, but this time is different, Mayor James is missing!
If the fight between the two godfathers of Gotham was affected, the disappearance of the mayor would not be a big deal.
Unfortunately not.
Harley immediately noticed something strange: another "troublemaker" appeared in Gotham.
She gave orders to old Gibbs to inquire about the black state groups with abnormal behavior and the political and business celebrities who have been active recently.
A conspiracy at the level of the Mayor of Gotham is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Old Gibbs gave her a list and a corresponding thick stack of background information and latest trends.
Another week later, a small incident once again caught Harley's attention: Arkham Asylum, the "Six Kings" escaped from prison!
Well, six of the craziest men in Arkham.
For example, Barbara killed her biological parents.
For example, Jerome who "exorcized" single mothers
If the Six Heavenly Kings escaped from prison through ingenuity, Harley would not give this news a second glance.
But they were kidnapped.
A powerful force broke into Arkham Asylum and abducted the six kings.
Arkham is no ordinary asylum, it's a prison.
The defense level is much higher than that of ordinary prisons.
After Harley asked her younger brother to investigate carefully, he confirmed again that it was not the work of various gangs.
The next day, the Six Kings appeared on the rooftop of the Gotham Times newspaper building and threw seven boatmen into the street.
A letter was written on each of the deceased's clothes in red paint, forming the following: Maniax, the Mad Men's Gang.
"Hehe, it seems that in the near future, a super rookie will quickly emerge in the political and business circles." Harley watched the live TV news and said with a playful smile.
"Do you think the mastermind behind the scenes comes from the political and business circles?" Ivy asked doubtfully.
Harley said calmly: "These 'Arkham Kings' can do nothing but go crazy.
Then, the mission given to the Mad Men Gang by the people behind the scenes can only be to cause crazy trouble.
Why let them cause trouble?
Profit from chaos.
Black state lords can also profit from chaos, for example, what Cobot did earlier.
But Cobot doesn't want to cause chaos in Gotham's "White Road". If he wants to gain power in the White Road, he will only let the forces in the White Road chaos."
Ivy suddenly realized, "The man behind the scenes is now making the people of Gotham White Road panic. He wants to get high in the White Road. Therefore, he must come from the political and business circles and come from a privileged background."
"Ivy, just watch, today is just the debut show of 'Arkham King', the good show is yet to come!" Harley sneered.
"You don't seem to want to interfere?" Ivy asked doubtfully.
Harry smiled and said: "At any other time, before tonight, I would have found them quickly, stuffed them all into a concrete pile and sunk them into the sea. Barbara is an acquaintance and can be kept alive."
As old Kamai taught me, after I become the king, order is what the ruler needs, and any source of chaos must be eradicated as soon as possible.
Now"
Her smile became weird, "Since the target of the people behind the scenes is not Hedao, but Gotham's elite, let them go crazy!"
