On TV, Harley held up the "200,000-word reform plan" from Washington and talked to the audience.
In Hanhai Building, in front of the TV, Galavan smashed the nth wine glass.
"This insidious and cunning Xiao Bichi, she tricked me!"
His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, his appearance was unkempt, and he was in a very bad condition.
"But she doesn't have our key criminal evidence either. Otherwise, you won't be able to come back.
As long as they can't defeat us legally, we still have a chance to make a comeback," Tabitha said.
Galavan's face looked uncertain for a while.
After a while, he whispered: "Have all the things in the building that can be used as evidence of our crime been cleaned out?"
Tabitha smiled: "As soon as you are brought into the police station, I will destroy all surveillance videos, audios, and all criminal tools that can allow the police to accuse us.
Even the blood-stained ground was smashed to pieces, packed and thrown into the sea.
Even if Detective Conan and Sherlock Holmes come in person, they can't find any flaws in the building.
In fact, gPD came here that day and found nothing."
"Who is Conan?" Galavan frowned.
"Uh, Sherlock Holmes of the Neon Man."
"Where are the order warriors and Barbara?" Galavan asked again.
Tabitha said: "Barbara is hiding in a safe house on Long Island, and the Order soldiers still live in the building.
We bought the previously abandoned Gotham Cathedral (the place where Harley killed the Crusaders) very early and announced the arrival of the Order of St. Dumas in Gotham.
Therefore, there is no need for the monks to hide."
Galavan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "You are right, if Harley Quinn has direct evidence, I will not be able to come back at all.
Without key evidence, it would be difficult for them to take me down legally.
Even if I fail to become mayor, I will still be a billionaire, and I can even get involved in the underworld and occupy the vacancy left by Cobot's departure."
"Actually, I never thought it was a good idea for you to run for mayor. Being a gangster is more exciting and unscrupulous." Tabitha licked her red lips and said excitedly.
"I'll go downstairs to discuss it with the elders." Galavan made a decision.
The elder "Gotham Godfather" frowned, "This will affect the reputation of the Order."
"My reputation is already bad now." Galavan said helplessly.
The elder stared into his eyes, "Do you still remember our original intention of coming to Gotham?"
Galavan said seriously: "Of course we remember to take back the wealth and status that once belonged to us from Wayne."
"So, what are you doing now?" the elder asked.
"I have lost Bruce's trust. It is almost impossible to buy the original shares of Wayne Group from him through deception," Galavan sighed.
"Revenge is not just an option to take away his property." The elder said meaningfully.
Normally, after Harley officially becomes the mayor, she should hold a large banquet in the city hall auditorium that afternoon or evening.
But she refused.
"In the past half month or so, so many gentlemen and celebrities have been murdered, but the murderers are still at large.
I really can’t face the grieving families of the victims with a joyful smile.”
In the mayor's office, Harley looked worried about the country and the people. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with her hands behind her back, raised her head at a 45-degree angle, looked at the sky and sighed.
All the city government officials looked at each other in confusion.
Harvey Dent, the mayor's secretary, stepped forward and said: "Mayor Ha, if you are worried about disturbing the families of those deceased celebrities, you don't have to invite them."
After Dr. Hugo's careful treatment, Harvey Dent has been discharged from the hospital for more than half a year.
However, in view of his history of being brainwashed and even suffering from mental illness, the law firm where he originally worked believed that he was no longer qualified for the lawyer profession of high intelligence and high emotional intelligence, and would rather pay him three years' salary (including being kidnapped by the Crusaders,
During the period of treatment in the hospital), I also insisted on firing him.
After all, Harley hadn't forgotten him completely. After chatting with him several times, she felt that he still had some sense in his mind, so she hired him as a chief secretary.
"Harvey, I'm not afraid of facing the families of the victims.
But my conscience and my sense of responsibility do not allow me to sing and drink at the banquet when the citizens of Gotham are suffering." Harley said with emotion.
The corner of Harvey Dent's mouth twitched a few times, and he simply said: "Mayor, what do you want to do, just say it directly, you are the boss now."
"I'm going to start work immediately and have Director Barnes come over immediately. By the way, the heroic detective Jim Gordon is also here,"
Half an hour later, Gordon followed Director Barnes and saw Harley lying lazily on the mayor's soft leather seat.
"Mayor Quinn, hello." Barnes saluted with a dull face.
"Hello, Mayor Quinn." Gordon looked complicated and bowed.
Harry nodded casually and said, "Sit down and talk. I came to you because I want to know the progress of the case."
The two sat down on the chairs in front of the desk, and Barnes asked: "Mr. Mayor, which case do you want to know about?"
"Of course Galavan."
Barnes first told all the information gPD knew, and then promised with some embarrassment: "Although no key evidence outside of Copot has been found yet, mayor, don't worry, Galavan is our number one target.
I will keep an eye on him 24 hours a day and catch his flaws sooner or later."
"Too conservative." Harley shook her head.
"Conservative?" The brawny director looked confused, "We have gone as far as the law allows."
"Have you ever searched the Hanhai Building, detained monks from the Order of Order, and tortured them to extract confessions?" Harley asked.
Barnes frowned and said: "We checked Galavan's office and apartment and found nothing.
The monks are not suspects and we have no right to arrest them.
Extorting confessions under severe torture is a serious violation of law."
"The entire Hanhai Building has endured? It's not limited to Galavan's apartment."
Barnes shook his head, "More than half of the floors in the building belong to the Order of St. Dumas.
Galavan is a suspect, but the religious sect that the suspect believes in has committed no crime."
"Pedantic, stupid, big idiot!" Harley scolded unceremoniously.
Barnes's face turned red and his eyes were filled with anger. However, facing the mayor's scolding, he could only clenched his fists secretly and could not even curse back.
He just scratched his head and said: "Mayor, please explain clearly, how could I be so stupid?"
"Let me ask you, how did Galavan assassinate hundreds of Gotham dignitaries while canvassing for votes?" Harley asked.
"Call for votes during the day and assassinate at night. After forensic identification, almost all the deceased died between 12 o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the morning." Barnes said solemnly.
"How could he kill him alone? There must be an accomplice. In other words, he didn't do it himself at all. The assassination was carried out by his subordinates, right?"
Barnes said: "You mean, the monks of the Order of Order are the killers he raises?"
"Do you think they are innocent?" Harley asked.
Barnes shook his head and said: "From a legal perspective, the Order of Order is only a subject of suspicion, not even a suspect.
But that doesn't mean I think the Order is innocent or innocent.
I even speculated that the cult was the real murderer and the manipulator behind Galavan.
But my opinions do not represent the law.
There is nothing I can do to the Order within the limits of the law.
Therefore, I focused my work on Galavan, hoping to open a breakthrough from him and finally bring the cult to justice."
Harry frowned, this Barnes was not stupid, but his mind was too rigid, and his persistence in the law far exceeded that of Gordon.
Perhaps Washington selected him because of his meticulous approach to the law?
"You are wrong. Within the scope allowed by the law, we can put all the monks in cells for 48 hours and thoroughly search every room in the building." Harry said.
Barnes looked at her doubtfully and said: "If the mayor comes forward, it will not be difficult for the court to issue a comprehensive search warrant.
But this doesn't make much sense.
They are not stupid enough to hide obvious evidence in a building.
But if you go to war and find nothing, both the police department and you will face tremendous pressure from public opinion."
"Gordon, what do you think? Can you use your iron fist to pry open the monk's mouth?" Harley smiled.
Gordon's face darkened, and he quietly glanced sideways at Barnes, who also had a dark face, "Mr. Mayor, I"
"Mr. Mayor, something big happened!"
At this moment, an old man in a suit and leather shoes with a missing front tooth ran in from the door.
"Counsellor Gibbs, you are so confused. This is the city hall and the mayor's office! Don't you know that I am discussing important matters with Director Barnes?" Harley scolded with a cold face.
Mayors, governors, and even the president can place cronies in government departments.
Old Gibbs ascended to heaven and took on the title of Mayor's Advisor.
"Mr. Mayor, Wayne's butler called and said that Master Bruce has been kidnapped!" Old Gibbs shouted.
"I bought it!" Gordon exclaimed.
Barnes' expression also changed slightly.
Harry turned his head and glanced out the window, "It's not dark yet, are the robbers so brave?"
She picked up the phone, gave instructions to the receptionist, and answered Ah Fu's call.
"I suspect it's Galavan," Ah Fu's voice was weak, as if he was hurt.
"After watching the election results at the city hall in the morning, we returned to the manor.
Before lunch, I received a call from Sylvie, Galavan’s niece.
She invited the young master to go to the high school to participate in the rehearsal of the campus celebration at the end of the semester.
Alas, I should have dissuaded him.
But I thought that the young master hadn’t gone to high school for a long time and hadn’t made a friend for a long time.
The butler's tone was full of remorse.
"Don't worry, I'll go rescue Bruce right away."
Harley hung up the phone, stood up and said seriously: "Did you all hear it? Galavan is too arrogant, and he dares to attack the only heir to the Wayne Group at this time.
We must take action.
Harvey Dent, take Gordon next door and go to the judge to apply for a warrant and at least three hundred arrest warrants.
Not to mention people, even the dogs in Hanhai Building were not spared and were all included on the wanted list.
Director Barnes, immediately form a police team of 500 people and join me in storming the Hanhai Building!"
"Mayor, it's not an attack, it's a search for suspects." Harvey Dent reminded.
Barnes came out of his daze and muttered: "It's too radical."
"Saving people is like putting out fire!" Harley said.
"But"
"No but, if something happens, I'll take care of it!"
Barnes sighed and asked again: "Is five hundred people too many?"
"That's not enough for me. There are more than 200 church soldiers in the building. Each one can fight ten gPDs. In short, 500 police officers are the bottom line. You need to call as many people as possible. They all wear body armor and carry heavy weapons."
