Chapter 33 The Power of the Media

The resolution of the matter was a little more difficult than expected, and a few days after Mrs. Emma left, everything remained the same.Sheriff Gordon is still under confinement. As a celebrity, Bruce Wayne has escaped the essence of house arrest, but no matter where he goes, there will be a few guys who secretly follow him.

The turning point of the matter stems from a series of reports by the Metropolitan Planet Daily, which was originally just a series of follow-up reports on the cooperation projects between Wayne Enterprises and Pisk Enterprises.

As one of the media affiliated with the Wayne Group, the Daily Planet’s report on its own boss was not particularly eye-catching, but after Himmler was identified as the mastermind of this sensational pedophilia case in the United States, the journal began became noticeable.Bruce Wayne, as a person in charge, decided to acquire Pisco Corporation in order to avoid large-scale unemployment caused by the bankruptcy of Pisco Corporation.The news that the stock price of Pisco Company soared instead of plummeting was the first to break out from this series of periodicals.

Afterwards, the series quickly shifted its reporting from corporate projects to the kidnapping plot against Bruce Wayne.At the beginning, most of the contents were released by the Gotham police, including Bruce Wayne's confession and criminals' confession, but then some things that the police did not disclose to the public began to appear, such as Joseph. Lawrence, the Gotham MP, was also involved.

At the beginning, the Gotham police kept laughing at the media who came to the door to ask for evidence. The ownership of the island was simply classified as the reason that the Lawrence family lent it out of trust, and the case was under investigation... …

However, as more and more things were revealed in this issue of the Planet Daily, and it became more and more confidential, it was later discovered that the Planet Daily probably obtained the internally sealed information of the police through some means.As a result, it turned to the official pressure to hope that the Daily Planet could stop reporting, and regarding the pressure from the Gotham police, the Daily Planet in the metropolis completely ignored them.Even for the protection of journalists, the reporter of this report did not publicly sign.

"...Where did they get this thing? Did the ghost find it?!"

The sheriff who temporarily replaced Gordon to take over the Gotham Police Department angrily threw the newspaper in his hand on the table in front of him.The above is today's latest Planet Daily, and the content inside is a list.

"Sorry sir, but your staff should be solely responsible for these materials"

In order to completely seal off this rape, the police from the federal government took over all relevant evidence of this case, and the keys of the independent archive room where the evidence was located were kept by these people.The insiders of the Gotham Police Department have been dissatisfied with this for a long time, and they are happy to see such a big oolong.

"Call the people who participated in the operation that day"

"Sorry sir, they are currently on vacation, and because of mandatory vacation...you know"

The little policeman didn't give this airborne guy any face at all, and he didn't have any intention of carrying out his orders.

"...Then who else might know about this case besides the police station?"

It also seems to understand that because of their too tough style, the Gotham Police Department is full of opinions on them.asked the sheriff in a mild tone.

"This case is a joint law enforcement with the Coast Guard, they should know"

"Except for the Coast Guard?!!!"

It is impossible for the Coast Guard to leak out, and there are also many high-level military officials involved in it, and the military will not allow them to leak such things.

"Sorry sir, then I don't know"

"... I heard that the illegal vigilante in Gotham was also involved?"

After hearing what the other party said, the little policeman just put his hands on the glasses on his face and said slowly:

"Sorry sir, I think you made a mistake. Batman is just a legend in Gotham City. We have also caught several 'Batmen', but it turns out that they are just fanatics imitating It’s just an action, no one has ever confirmed the existence of such a person, and it may not even be a person.”

After the little policeman finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

"Then, sir. If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back to my post first. Today, there are a large number of reporters blocking the door."

"Go!"

As soon as the little policeman came out of the office, he was immediately surrounded by his colleagues.

"how?!"

"Ghost knows, let him have a headache"

"Then how are we going to deal with those guys outside the door?"

A colleague pointed to the direction of the gate. Through several layers of transparent glass windows, he could see a group of densely packed human heads outside the gate...

"oh...shit..."

"Things seem to be going better than expected, Master Bruce"

Alfred was standing next to Bruce, who was staring at the newspaper carefully, with a plate in his hand.

"...We have released almost all the evidence we have. If Mrs. Emma still has no way to do it, I'm afraid it will make us very passive."

"I don't think it's worth worrying about"

"what?"

"This is today's news"

Alfred turned on the TV, and now Gotham TV was looping the attitudes of the upper classes.

Those who have nothing to do with the list are filled with righteous indignation and demand that the police solve the case as soon as possible and give an explanation to the public; those who are slightly suspected of being involved in the list call on everyone to calm down and believe in the justice of the law; It was divided into two factions, one faction jumped out furiously and crazily attacked the Daily Planet, and threatened to hire the best lawyers to make them bankrupt, while the other faction was completely silent and did not comment on this, after all the names on the list If it has been overweighted, it can only be suspected but not confirmed.

Things are getting more and more outrageous. Large-scale demonstrations and protests began to emerge all over the United States, and they began to accuse the judiciary of inaction. At this time, the Planet Daily suddenly stopped follow-up reports on related content. The official report The news is that their informants did not provide more content.However, the police's Tai Chi attitude and the rich imagination of the public have made the high-level politicians pressure the Planet Daily to prohibit them from reporting this very likely news, which has become the mainstream of public perception.

The pressure from the public and public opinion was increasing, and within a few days, when Sheriff Gordon finally finished his vacation and returned to work, Bruce knew that Mrs. Emma had finally succeeded.

The first case Sergeant Gordon went back to handle was to request a DNA comparison for Joseph Lawrence himself, and to conclude the case of the six corpses of children who had been raped and murdered.

This time there was no pressure from above at all, and the police quickly and smoothly arrested MP Lawrence in a villa.

Through dna comparison, it was confirmed that the dna on four corpses matched it.According to Lawrence's confession, the police successfully arrested several other people involved. To the police's surprise, these people were not all of the same class as Lawrence but also had this special hobby as they thought.These people come from all walks of life, almost everyone, even a beggar...

Regarding this incident, the Lawrence family deliberately held a press conference, announcing the removal of Joseph Lawrence from the Lawrence family. In addition, they expressed their deep apologies for the family business being used for such a dirty deal. All proceeds from the auction will go to charities for children.

Under the super high public relations skills, the Lawrence family successfully escaped from the vortex of this case this time.

"Hmph! They really dare to say that many of those under control are supporters of the Lawrence family..."

Even if he didn't understand anything, after these days, Jason could almost understand why the Lawrence family acquiesced in Joseph's behavior.

Simply put, Lawrence, like Himmler, has become an outcast.

"There's nothing you can do about it, Master Jason. After all, there is no direct evidence to prove that the Lawrence family knew about the rape."

"If those who support the Lawrence family are finished, the Lawrence family will also be finished this time."

"Oh... that shouldn't be the case. After all, the Lawrence family is also an old family with enough roots. But this time the presidential election is probably about to fail."

"Oh"

"By the way, what's Master Jason's plan?"

Alfred asked Jason in turn.

"I?"

"Do you still want to go to boarding school?"
