Gotham Mayor Simulator

Chapter 111 Jinjiang Exclusive Published

Fries once knew about a certain case. The case took place in South Korea. A serial killer who killed randomly appeared in the city. He was cruel and ruthless. In the end, due to insufficient evidence, it was a gang boss who had been attacked by the other party. He got on the witness stand and made a decisive correction - and after that, the gang leader was sent to jail.

Therefore, he actually knows that there is a term "tainted witness" in the court. Tainted witnesses can reduce their sentences by providing clues to the police and correcting criminals. However... "Mr. Freeze"?

——Is this world crazy?

"I know what Gotham is like," he murmured to himself, "I know this city... Yes, I know what it's like..."

There seems to be an endless supply of criminals in this city, and with the appearance of Batman, they become more and more crazier, more brutal, and more and more, taking turns to appear on the scene. Sometimes people wonder whether it is the appearance of Batman that attracts these criminals. , there are also people who hate Batman - why he didn't kill them even though he caught them, and together with that, they began to hate Gotham City, which has no "death penalty".

This city is a flower of madness that blooms with malice. They hate her, but they never try to escape from here. Some people leave their homeland when they are young, but many years later, they will come back, like an indescribable curse.

The equivalent of Gotham people's "not giving up" is the "persistence" of Gotham's criminals. Most criminals are obsessed with Batman, and the Joker is one of them, and Mr. Freeze, he knows this man, genius and criminal A thin line separates him, and the pain and loss make him less sober - his files are like the crimes he has committed. As long as they are uploaded to the Internet, they can be viewed and will not be erased.

So he never thought that Gotham's criminals would help the police, just like the clever black cat decided to help the mouse it hated.

Freese was stunned for a moment: "No, I mean... Mr. Freeze was once sent to Arkham... Why can his testimony be used as evidence?"

"Because the professional psychiatrist thinks he has recovered," the annoying female lawyer said with a fake smile, "Of course, the psychiatrist I am talking about does not mean Harley Quinn."

The situation was terrible, Fries thought.

He listened to Mr. Freeze's testimony, and his heart slowly sank——

"...I have always known that hell is around me. I knew the existence of the mine, but I did not understand it. At that time, I knew everything, but I never thought about stopping it, because I felt that I was in hell. I am the worst one, immersed in my own world, until On that day, the police officers found me, and under their guidance, I saw the mine that was about to explode and the miserable people. Only then did I know what was happening not far from me. My thoughts changed, and I decided to stand up and identify these demons..."

Damn it! Why didn't you come to identify me before?

It was clear that some kind of agreement had been reached with the police, but in a place like Gotham where there was no death penalty, what kind of agreement could be reached? What difference does it make if you are locked up or not?

Damn it, Fries has considered various situations where his opponent is the public prosecutor system, but he has never considered that his opponent is a criminal in Gotham City? From Harley Quinn to Mr. Freeze, do you still remember that you are a criminal?

He recalled the process of his communication with Dr. Hadley Queen, who was obviously the pseudonym of Harley Quinn. At the beginning, he thought he had found a reputable psychiatrist, and the other person was in He was quickly convinced during the conversation... Could this be a conspiracy from the beginning?

Fries was thinking quickly about how to solve the problem, delaying it until the next trial to prepare more evidence?

——However, the funny thing is that he actually has no evidence in his hand. On the contrary, his opponent's evidence will become more and more as time goes by, because Frith himself knows best that the person he is defending, Hal Smith, is a heinous criminal. .

As time ticked by, Freese searched for a solution to his predicament.

At the back door of the court, a man was leaning against the wall. He took off his helmet and put it on the motorcycle with one hand. He was holding a mobile phone in the other hand. On the screen was the scene of the trial.

His black hair was dyed with two locks of white, and his blue pupils hid a touch of green. This guy's real name was Jason Todd, and his alias was Red Hood. Theoretically, he was also one of the witnesses, but he did not stand. Get on the witness stand.

Jason did not believe that Gotham's laws could uphold justice. He had always thought so when he was wandering around. So after gaining strength and returning to Gotham, he decided to use violence to eliminate everything and become the most violent and powerful person. To curb the occurrence of other violence——

If he hadn't seen the changes in the East End, he would have shot those people in South Hinckley, and the guys in the dock, young and old, wouldn't have survived.

The thought of breathing turbid air with these scum made him irritated.

But...something has definitely changed in Gotham City.

He couldn't explain what it was, just like he couldn't explain why he was standing in the alley behind the court after waking up when he could find a safe house far away from here to watch the live broadcast. Did he really want to go there wearing a hood? Testify? Mr. Freeze is enough.

but--

"If I walked to the witness stand and took off my hood, the old man would probably drop the water glass, right?"

The camera panned over Bruce Wayne in the auditorium. Jason thought about that weird scene, made a "pop" sound, and his expression slowly darkened.

He and Batman must have ideological disputes, and they must meet again one day, but not now and not like this.

...He may not be ready yet.

...Besides, the missing clown probably wasn’t ready either.

He put on his helmet, and apparently there was no room for him in the courtroom.

Fries was indeed losing ground, at least on the surface.

But in fact - he just recognized a fact that he had long recognized: his boss was not Hal Smith.

His boss is Mr. Dunlop, the largest gangster in New Haven. What he wants to do is to defend the rights and interests of Mr. Dunlop in Gotham's court. From the beginning, Fries knew that this case would be difficult to do. By pleading not guilty, his real goal was to prevent Hal Smith and his family from leaving Gotham City and from identifying Dunlop.

Originally, Fries thought that the police did not have enough evidence. However, after he talked to Hal, he discovered that this old man, who was always very strict in the outside world, had confessed everything. Fries wondered whether Hal was Unable to bear the punishment, the other side doubted what a terrible place Blackgate Prison was - but fortunately, the confession could be retracted in court.

He plans to prove that Hal Smith has a mental illness problem, so his testimony cannot count, but if this trial does not produce a result, and the other party is once again interrogated by Betvin's strange torture method and finds out something else, then Hal and Frith wouldn't have to live anymore. Frith would buy a ticket to go to Africa now and stay away from New Haven from now on. Maybe he could even survive.

And Hal Smith, the old man, the former mayor of the town, asked the other party to do everything possible to send him to the local mental hospital during the conversation with Yu Frith, and then he would find a way to transfer him from the local mental hospital to Jackson. These two cities There is no death penalty.

As for why we have to leave... Arkham Asylum is not a place for normal people to stay.

The interrogation passed minute by minute, and the lawyer opposite stood up again, and Freese decided to simply sacrifice Hal Smith's nephew Robert and find a way to shirk the crime. At this time, the tearful defendant spoke:

"All the evidence so far cannot directly prove my guilt." This aging man has a kind face. He is neither fat nor thin. He looks like he can coax his granddaughter to sleep and take his son fishing, just like As friendly as your average neighbor, especially with his cloudy brown eyes, he said, "Your Honor, I want to defend myself and my innocent family."

"South Hinckley is not a bad town, but I am indeed a bad mayor. When I found out that my family was doing something wrong, I did not choose to stop him. Instead, I tried my best to escape with them. I did Not a qualified officer, just an ordinary grandfather, grandfather and father..."

He looked at the lawyer for the lawsuit: "Madam, you accused me of burning the ledger and taking out a new ledger from the nightclub. However, that ledger did not have my signature or fingerprints on it. As for witnesses and recordings, all the recordings you provided My voice was not heard in any of them, and all the accusations were made against me by 'my subordinates', but in fact it was really Is that so? Three years ago, I still remember everything that happened during the Vietnam War. A year ago, I couldn’t remember my wife’s middle name. But those young people can pass the responsibility to their bosses, because as long as the bosses bear the greatest responsibility If they are guilty, then as subordinates, they can be given a lighter sentence, for example... tainting the witness? "

He smiled and looked at Mr. Freeze: "Sir, I still remember how you looked when you came to this town. You were so sick that you no longer looked like a human being, but now you look great, and you have nothing like your image on the Internet. The resemblance makes me almost forget I’ve ever met you.”

"It seems like your memory is not bad." Mr. Freeze replied coldly.

Hal smiled and shook his head, wiping his tears. The old man's laughter became louder and louder, and then he said: "I am already very old, I am almost suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and even if I am convicted, I will eventually... What results were obtained?”

The entire court was extremely quiet, with only the sound of machines running and reporters holding cameras to take pictures.

He asked himself and answered: "Life imprisonment? Even if I enter Black Gate Prison, at my age, I will not be able to do other heavy work or contribute anything more to this city. I am indeed sorry. In my This kind of thing happened in the town that I manage, and I know nothing about it, but I am willing to take responsibility for the ignorant young people who made mistakes, and I also hope that South Hinckley will no longer be an autonomous, closed town..."

He turned his head and looked at the mayor in the auditorium, and then back at the litigant lawyer: "But I refuse to admit the testimony provided by the police. During this time, I have been mentally unstable and need to take medicine every day."

There is actually nothing wrong with Hal’s confession——

American law has a lot of room for accommodation, and he is looking for ways to save himself.

For example, there was once a murderer who was young and handsome. The court received petitions from thousands of people asking not to kill this "handsome man". Even after entering prison, the prisoner's sentence changed again and again. In the end, his "life imprisonment" was completed in just a few years.

And Hal's tearful performance was nothing more than expressing several opinions: "There are indeed drug dealers", "But I am innocent, I don't know anything", "I am older, and even if I really know it, I have forgotten it." "I am older, how could I refuse to admit it just to live for two more years? Besides, there is no death penalty in Gotham City. Under such circumstances, I still choose to refuse to admit it, which only shows that I am really innocent." In fact, What he really wants to do is to overturn the testimony he once provided to the police——

Testimony related to Gotham gang boss Black Mask and New Haven gang boss Dunlop.

He would only say it if he was really sick in his head... So Hal Smith really thinks that there is something wrong with this woman, Bella Bettivin! How could she not have a problem?

"I'm very sorry for those victims, but even if they stand in front of me, I can still say..." the old man sighed, "I don't know anything about it."

"You don't look like you have memory problems," the female lawyer said. "What really determines whether you are guilty or not is the law, and it has nothing to do with your unilateral statement."

"Your Honor, I would like to invite our witness, Jane Merop, to attend."

After she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of the witness taking the stage, and then waited for a while. The noise in the court gradually increased, and the female lawyer frowned. She looked at the screen of her mobile phone, and after waiting for a few more minutes, she trotted onto the stage. , after a long while, Judge Amy Hester knocked the gavel:

"The court is temporarily adjourned."

The bad news is that public opinion on the Internet is indeed following Hal Smith's statement.

The worse news is that something is wrong with Jane, and even if there is nothing wrong with her, Hal's image of himself has been fixed, and it will take a trial to break it... It will be very difficult.

Accompanying Jane in the waiting room was Mr. Freeze's wife Nora, and the one who asked her not to appear in court was the court's psychiatrist. The doctor judged that her mood was not stable enough and suggested that she stabilize her mood before taking the witness stand.

——Otherwise she would just mess everything up.

She thought she was ready, so she just walked up, stood in front of her enemies, tore off their disguised expressions, and complained about her pain, letting the whole world hear it, letting everyone know... what kind of scum they are. , they don’t deserve to live in this world.

But just seeing those people's faces through the screen and hearing their words, she found herself shaking with anger. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't spit out any accusations at all. She just wanted to rush up and bite them and tear them to pieces. , those desperate days came again, and darkness enveloped her again.

Only then did Jane realize that she couldn't do it. She couldn't calmly and logically tell what the criminals had done. The nurse and the doctor had helped her, but she couldn't do it. When she saw the camera, she just felt Standing naked in front of these people, even calling for justice for yourself is like a bitch who calls out a bad visitor to ask for money.

The criminal's figure grew taller, while she was shorter and had nowhere to hide.

Dots of light flowed in through the small window in the waiting room. Jane stared at the dim light, almost crazy. Time passed minute by minute, but she felt that time stopped at this moment, and time stopped, no one It would hurt her and no one could help her.

until--

The sound of music pushed open the door of time and rushed in.

"all the life——she has seen——(she has experienced such a life)"

Jane was stunned for a moment.

“all the meaner side of me——(experienced all the evil side of human nature)”

It's a child's voice.

Before the singing could be heard in the courtroom, reporter Jeff from the New York Daily News discovered the unexpected situation outside the courtroom. He took the opportunity to go to the bathroom during the recess and did not forget to bring his camera.

From the window of the toilet, he saw many people gathered outside the court. They came from all directions on the street. Some were crossing the road, some were scrolling on their mobile phones, and some were staying in the coffee shop. He didn't know what summoned them. , they walked to the front of the court.

It seems that even the bailiffs are confused. These people did not storm the court——

It's not like they were armed either.

Jeff thought about it and rushed out of the toilet immediately. When he arrived at the main entrance of the court, a truck screeched to a stop. About seventy or eighty people began to take down... instruments from the truck... wait, musical instruments?

This was obviously a band composed of Gotham locals, and when they just started playing the instruments, Jeff couldn't help but frown: Too bad, this is a band that has barely been trained and can only barely keep in tune. folk band.

But why would a folk band perform in front of a courthouse?

They finished playing a song, but no one sang. Jeff stood up and decided to go in and continue watching the trial, but the moment he turned around, he heard more and denser footsteps.

Coming from the left side of the road were a large number of children. The oldest was only ten years old and the youngest was probably seven or eight years old. They were led by priests and nuns. Is this the choir of a local church in Gotham? There are more than normal choir children.

The people coming from the right side of the road seemed to be white-collar workers who had just gotten off work, hip-hop people with tattoos on their arms, construction site workers, and tourists who were being coerced and looked incomprehensible.

Then, Jeff raised his camera and put his bow on the strings. Hundreds of people came together and merged together. The children stood in front and the orchestra was surrounded in the middle. As the music flowed, it was not very pleasant. came out, the children took the lead in singing——

"all the life——she has seen——(she has experienced such a life)"

“all the meaner side of me——(experienced all the evil side of human nature)”

She has experienced such a bad life, and she has seen the evil side of human nature. Gods never show mercy. In the face of evil, everyone is equally small.

Jeff subconsciously took a step back, and then others spoke in children's voices. The adult's voice was mixed with the child's sharp and clear voice, becoming deeper and more powerful.

"she\\'s got a lions in her heart (a male lion lives in her heart)"

"a fire in her soul"

"he\\'s a got a beast in his belly (there is a beast in his chest)"

"that\\'s so hard to trol"

The singing voice produced by hundreds of people was far from comparable to the previous sounds of musical instruments and children's voices. The singing sound spread into the adjournment court, and people subconsciously walked to the corridor, while Jane was supported by Nora and came to the window.

The voice overwhelmed the music and became louder, almost roaring——

"cause they\\''ve taken too bsp;hits (because they received too many blows)"

“taking blow by blow (physically and mentally exhausted)”

Now illuminate them.

Now illuminate it all.

Jane pressed her forehead against the window, listening to the singing coming from outside, which made the glass begin to vibrate——

"when you\\''ve been fighting (when you for)"

“for it all your life (fight for your life)”

When you try your best to change your destiny and your life——

You are the hero.

A huge, torrent-like sound penetrated the door. Except for the defendant who was in the dock and could not move around freely, almost everyone else left the court and walked out, letting the singing wrap them up.

Jeff pressed the shutter and took pictures of faces, but he felt that it was not enough. He saw more people gathering. Some people seemed to know what they were going to do, and some looked confused, but because of the surrounding Everyone was singing, so they sang along. Someone was recording a video in the distance. The bailiff was holding a gun and wondered whether he should fire a warning shot.

Jeff approached the bailiff and heard the man clutching the barrel of the gun listening and singing along in a low voice.

"that\\'s hoerhero learns to fly (This is how the hero learns to fly in pain)"

The song ended, the music was low, but someone at the front jumped on the roof of the truck and began to conduct with layman's gestures. The music returned to the original tune, and they started singing again. The dusk was deep, and the priest held out a wish. The candles were lit one by one and passed on one by one. They kept lighting and passing on and singing until they were hoarse.

——But the light has merged into a sea of ​​stars.

Jeff didn't know when he returned to the court. He saw an additional woman on the witness stand, but he didn't see her face clearly. Orange light spots were flashing in front of his eyes. The woman His face seemed to be hidden in the firelight, and only hazy lines could be seen.

He heard the steady yet slightly trembling voice of the other party, and also heard the increasingly irritable and weird tones of the men in the dock.

When Jeff finally came to his senses, he only heard the sound of the justice's gavel falling.

The trial is over and the dust has settled.

In addition to some locals, a total of 1,187 people related to the South Hinckley case and those involved in the New Haven and Detroit cases need to be transferred to Washington for retrial. After the retrial is completed, this line from South Hinckley to New Haven flows into When Detroit enters St. Petersburg, it takes almost half a world for drug and human trafficking-related cases to be settled.

Among them, it can be predicted that some of the people involved will need to be extradited and shot in a foreign country.

This includes Black Mask Roman Sionis. The only regret is that Roman Sionis is "on the run for fear of crime" and cannot be arrested, so some people can only get the gun first before him.

When the criminals were taken away and the judges left their seats, the people in the audience stood up, and then, I don't know who started, the first person clapped, and then the second person, and they all clapped. Smiling at each other.

The increasingly low music and singing outside slowly disappeared. Suddenly, across the door and the outer wall, cheers erupted that were so loud that they could be transmitted into the room. The cheers lasted for several minutes, until the applause in the court also stopped. , it hasn’t disappeared over there yet.

Bruce smiled and looked at Mayor Aleck. She was staring at a wall of nothing, as if she was in a daze, or looking through the crowd, but she also had a slight smile on her face.

At this time, maybe they should go out for a dinner, bring Dick and Tim, call the Warden and Vicki, Gordon and Barbara? Bruce thought it was like several families having a dinner together, which was a little weird.

But before he could ask for an invitation, the warden came over, and the mayor walked over to greet her. The two ladies walked out side by side, nodding to everyone, but also declining the banquet invitations from others.

……All right.

In fact, Bruce's feeling was correct, Vivi was indeed looking at something——

She saw her reputation grow.

To be honest, she had almost forgotten about the reputation panel.

When the reputation module was first activated and 50 people in the entire Gotham City knew about the mayor, her evaluation on the module at that time was [Medium to Evil]. But just now, her reputation increased a bit, and the system prompted that 75 people knew about it. With her as the mayor, the evaluation also changed to [moderate to good].

[Current influence: No matter where you are, your influence will envelope your subordinates, and the obedience level of all subordinates will be +3]

[Current bias: When a person is too far away from themselves, people are often reluctant to make an accurate evaluation of her. Therefore, they vaguely feel that you should be a good person, but there are still some people who are naturally unwilling to do so because of your profession. Trust you]

[Attribute: Medium to good]

[The current level cannot promote the modification of Gotham City's laws, please continue to improve your reputation]

It seemed that although her reputation had been greatly improved, nothing could be changed for the time being, so Weiwei left it alone and hurriedly changed her identity.

All criminals will be escorted to Washington early tomorrow morning, and she must achieve her goal tonight.

Weiwei teleported to Black Gate Prison.

Of course, she is not alone, but——

"doctor?"

Dr. Stephen Strange appeared silently. Before this, he had already visited the three major hospitals in Gotham.

The mage, who was called Doctor and pronounced Doctor Strange, stared at the girl in front of him for a long time. He said: "...I have never tried to separate the souls of so many people from their bodies. And for ordinary people, it takes a long time to separate the souls of so many people." It’s very dangerous to experience.”

"Come on, doctor," the girl complained. "I won't hurt them. That's impossible, isn't it?"

Strange closed one eye and then opened it again, staring at the black fog that was thicker and more dangerous than before and hesitated to speak——

Only one day has passed, and the strange aura on Vicki White has become even more terrifying, and he still hasn't figured it out clearly.

But Strange discovered through getting along that Weiwei herself had nothing to do with evil. This girl seemed to simply want to change the city and work hard for it. In this case, thinking of what happened in New York, Strange guessed , Weiwei is either the sleeping evil god She was selected to absorb these malicious powers, or her physique was suitable for sealing the evil, so the evil attacked her, but she called Strange a "reward", making him suspect that the former was more likely, or even , the gods from other dimensions may not really be sleeping.

...Because he has not found out who is behind the other party, Stephen generally will not refuse the girl's reasonable request.

Such as teaching students and building roads.

In Blackgate Prison, thousands of people in South Hinckley were sleeping soundly. Their souls were knocked out of their bodies. Then, Weiwei followed behind, seemingly holding something invisible in her hands. Under the shadow, the prisoners' bodies disappeared one after another. .

——There are serious criminals here who should theoretically be shot, and there are also scum who are "merely" raped and abused, and can barely be regarded as light criminals. Stephen treats them all equally.

The soul floating in the air was in a deep sleep state, and then, the girl who threw Stephen away after using her turned around and disappeared.

Stephen: "..."

He stayed in the corridor of Black Gate Prison, staring at the sleeping prison guard, and then at the extinguished surveillance camera, feeling that he seemed to be the girl's ally in doing bad things.

Rose Manor.

Cards that cannot be seen by anyone except the player appear in mid-air one after another, clearly distinguishing left and right. Use [Copy Card] to copy the Bronze Card [Item: Compression (One-Time)], and the human soulless body is just An "object" composed of various elements, the victim and the perpetrator float equally on both sides, and their bodies have all turned into cards.

After a while, Weiwei took out the golden scale.

Justice will not be late. After completing the justice in the trial, she will also bring real justice to these people - this part is the realm that the law cannot do and is called magic.

The author has something to say: The song is "Superheroes", a song sung by The Script. The lyrics are great, and I will quote part of them here.

Doctor Strange's ability, how should I put it, has a large upper and lower limit, but here he is a gold card ()
