Anti-hero of a certain comic

97. The serious criminal Penguin

When Gordon was young, he once provoked the Roman Falcone. During those days, everyone in the Gotham Police Department avoided him, and even the director did not dare to say anything.

It was this incident that poured cold water on Gordon, who wanted to change Gotham, and made him see the dark side of the city clearly.

Gotham during the Roman rule should have been the most rampant period for gangs.

Not only do they engage in various illegal businesses unscrupulously, they are also so crazy that they dare to storm the Gotham Police Station.

Falcone, who dominated the entire Gotham underworld, was almost a lion that no one dared to challenge at the time.

"Detective Gordon, do you feel that your colleagues in the police department are rejecting you?"

Leo glanced at Gordon, who looked downcast, and seemed to see through the other person's inner thoughts.

Who would take the initiative to approach a police detective who is bold enough to provoke two major mafia families in Gotham?

Most people would definitely think that Gordon would die soon from a killer gun sent by the gang, or a seemingly coincidental "accident" would occur.

This kind of thing is too common. Gotham has also had justice-minded prosecutors and police officers, but they usually have one thing in common, short-lived.

These people will either be shot by a robber or they will encounter a drunk driver driving a truck.

"It might not be what you think, Detective Gordon. You know, you're a mirror to the Gotham Police Department!"

Leo took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Your integrity and persistence can clearly reflect the filth and ugliness of those who are complicit with the gangs."

Gordon pushed up his glasses, with a symbolic smile on his lips.

He was not happy about Leo's praise.

The detective had a shadow deep in his heart. He knew that Maroni, who was sent to prison, could do anything.

"Worried about your wife and daughter?"

Leo sat closer and patted Gordon on the shoulder.

Of course he understands how much pressure Gordon is carrying at this time. If the mission against Gotham's mafia family fails, this middle-aged police detective with a slightly bent back may lose everything most precious in his life.

"I will send people to protect them. You don't have to worry about this."

Hearing Leo say this, Gordon's eyes flashed with light, and his frowning face quietly relaxed.

"Thank you, Mr. White. By the way, about Penguin Cobot..."

"I don't want you to continue investigating him."

Leo leaned on the sofa and interrupted Gordon directly.

He tapped his fingers rhythmically, met the detective's puzzled eyes, and said softly: "On the one hand, it takes a lot of time to investigate Penguin. His Iceberg Restaurant is mainly used for money laundering, but the process behind it is too It’s too cumbersome and the cost of tracing it is high.”

"On the other hand, I don't think serious criminals like Mr. Copot need to take too harsh a crackdown. He is mainly engaged in illegal business such as casino money laundering and loan sharking, rather than occupying territory like Maroney and Black Mask. Gather the thugs."

After looking at the change in Gordon's expression, Leo continued: "To a certain extent, Penguin is part of Gotham's underground order. His existence will not cause greater chaos and is an acceptable part. "

"But Oswald Cobblepot is a criminal!"

Gordon showed his stubborn side at this time and said in a serious tone.

Leo's subtext is clearly to let Penguin go, and even deeper meaning is to condone criminals like Copot.

"Detective Gordon, a Gotham without criminals is just your ideal utopia. It does not exist and cannot exist. For example, after Black Mask disappeared, his gang fell into pieces. It took less than a month to

A new gang will be born and occupy the port area of ​​Naihe Island. "

Leo was not angry. He knew what kind of person Gordon was. Like Batman, he hoped to usher in a better Gotham.

But unfortunately, the best they can do is curb evil, but they cannot eliminate it.

Yet this is a goal that can never be achieved.

Behind the light, there will be darkness.

Demanding absolute justice is an extreme act in itself.

"Next, you will lead people to destroy the banks and banks where gangs launder money and cut off their source of income. This is the real blow to Maroni."

Leo saw Gordon's lips moving, as if he wanted to say something, so he changed the topic.

He had no interest in engaging in a debate about good and evil legal principles with this police detective. He would never be able to convince anyone with words alone.

…………

Wayne Manor, living room.

Bruce frowned slightly as he looked at the headlines on the TV.

He didn't expect that before Batman took action, someone would launch an early attack on the gang.

Maroney's gang was wiped out, with 49 counts of fraud, 62 counts of extortion, 87 counts of murder, and more than 170 counts of obstruction of justice.

Once these accusations are established, it can be said that the entire Maroney family will be wiped out, and they will have to be moved to Blackgate Prison from top to bottom.

"James Gordon..."

Bruce read the name, his eyes seemed to be in a trance.

He remembered him, when Gordon, then a plainclothes detective, had put a coat on himself after that bad night in Crime Alley.

When all the police were troubled by the tragic murder of the Waynes, only that man paid attention to the young Bruce, a poor child who had lost his parents.

"Looks like Batman can retire early."

The old butler standing behind Bruce said with a smile.

Gordon is now the image spokesperson of the Gotham Police Department, and the news media has shifted the focus from the newly emerged Batman to the righteous detective who seems to be a lone hero.

"It's not the right time yet, someone is behind this."

Bruce frowned and realized that things were not simple.

First of all, why did the Gotham Police Department condone Gordon's behavior?

You must know that the Maroney family has always had private dealings with the police, unless someone exerts pressure from the top.

"Gordon was the shield being pushed out. I probably guessed who it was."

Bruce's frown relaxed, and he thought of Leo White.

The young man from the Sky Eye Society, with his wealth and the power behind him, obviously meets the conditions.

"Master Wayne, I think that person has a similar experience to you, and may have come to Gotham with good intentions. Isn't this the signal he sends?"

Alfred said softly.

In his opinion, the career of a vigilante is dangerous enough and has no rewards. It is far inferior to being a serious heir to the Wayne family.

"I just don't trust him enough."

Bruce looked at Gordon on the TV screen, surrounded by a group of reporters holding microphones.

This new star of justice in Gotham has a look of bewilderment on his face.

"But maybe I should make a change."

After a while, the young Batman whispered.

Bruce thought that after the city-wide anti-crime mission was over, he might be able to talk to Leo.
