Chapter 1598 The Entire Northwest of Shanxi Is in Chaos

Major breaking news.

At noon that day, the Gotham Police Department organized a press conference to release major news. Countless reporters were present, and the TV station broadcast live. The press conference was hosted by Commissioner Gordon himself.

Gordon pushed his glasses, looked at the thirty or forty reporters in the audience, and said: "The news to be announced today is about Bruce Wayne. Just two hours ago, the police officially arrested Bruce Wayne on the charge of second-degree murder."

Buzz~!

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar.

One by one, they started to stir.

Who is Bruce Wayne? The only owner of the Wayne family. The Wayne family can be said to be one of the founders of Gotham. They have built their own business empire since the colonial era and are large landowners who own one-third of the land in Gotham City.

The Wayne Group is engaged in various fields such as technology, new energy, shipping, steel, aerospace, biotechnology, medicine, electronics, heavy industry, and arms, and controls the economic lifeline of Gotham City.

The Wayne family also made large donations to universities, research institutes, orphanages, parks, police stations and city governments in Gotham, covering almost every aspect. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Wayne Group runs the entire Gotham City.

Bruce Wayne is synonymous with super-rich people, but now the police chief actually said that he arrested Bruce Wayne, and the charge is serious second-degree murder.

This is definitely the most explosive news of the year and the most important event in Gotham City.

The reporters were shocked.

Not only the reporters, but also the countless Gotham people in front of the TV were shocked.

"Excuse me, Commissioner Gordon, who did Mr. Bruce Wayne kill, and what happened?"

"Can you reveal the details?"

"How did you find evidence of Bruce Wayne's crime, is the evidence conclusive?"

"Is Bruce Wayne in prison now?"

The reporters asked questions frantically, and the news scene became boiling.

Gordon had already guessed the current situation. He pressed his hands hard and said to the microphone: "Wait for me to report the whole thing. I believe that most of your questions will be answered. You can ask specific questions after I finish reporting."

The reporters suddenly quieted down.

Gordon continued: "A few days ago, a case occurred in the parking lot of the Pulin Street District. Dozens of cars were destroyed. A lot of blood was found on the ground, but no fighting people or bodies were found. Afterwards, Bruce Wayne took the initiative to surrender to me and told me what happened at that time. Now please watch a video first."

The big screen next to it played a video. In the video, Batman and the Joker fought, and the parking lot was destroyed. Then Squidward jumped out and shot Batman. Batman kicked him out, and Squidward flew out and his body was pierced by the steel pipe of the fence.

After watching this video, the reporters were even more surprised.

"Oh my god, this is Batman and the Joker fighting, Bruce Wayne said he killed someone, could it be that Bruce Wayne is Batman?"

"Anyway, he is definitely not the Joker!"

"Bruce Wayne is Batman, this is too shocking, it is really hard to believe, but I think it is very likely, because Batman is so rich, his equipment, chariot, motorcycle, and aircraft, he definitely can't afford it without money."

"Finally solved my doubts, Batman finally revealed his true face."

The fact that Batman is Bruce Wayne shocked the reporters and the people of Gotham.

Now everything is clear, but the reporters still did not let Gordon go, and continued to hold the microphone and ask crazy questions, and Gordon tried his best to answer.

After the press conference, various TV stations, news media, and the Internet reported it one after another. No matter which news media, this information occupied the headlines.

The TV station made a program and invited guests to discuss Batman's behavior. A professional lawyer said that Bruce Wayne killed the unknown guy under the Joker in the fight, which could only be regarded as an accident at most, and it was not even second-degree murder.

Some people also analyzed that this time Batman's other cases will definitely be tried together. After all, although his vigilante behavior is out of good intentions, the process is illegal. Batman is not a law enforcer and he has no right to arrest people.

The biggest topic in Gotham now is the news about Bruce Wayne and Batman. Almost everyone is talking about this matter.

People have different views on Batman. Some people think that his behavior is just, but many people also think that Batman is indeed illegal and he has no right to enforce the law privately.

Some people even suggested that Batman often destroys public facilities when arresting criminals, causing very large property losses. These money should be repaid by Bruce Wayne, not by the municipal department, which gets its money from their taxes.

The police patrolling the streets were also discussing Batman during lunch. They were eating hot dogs and chatting with a smile.

"Batman is now in custody awaiting trial. Now no one will come to mess things up and steal our credit, haha."

"Yeah, once I almost caught a robber and chased him for three blocks. Finally, the cloaked man appeared and kicked the robber down. That feeling was not good at the time. It made me feel incompetent."

An older policeman looked at his two young colleagues and said with some concern: "I don't think it's a good thing that Batman was caught. We can't deal with those mutants with super powers, the mafia family, and even the Joker. I think this city needs Batman. Without Batman, I'm worried that Gotham will fall into complete chaos."

Bruce Wayne was arrested, and some companies under his name were also affected, and the stock prices of some listed companies fell as a result.

In a certain building in Gotham, all the underground power leaders of Gotham came over. They all acted very relaxed, holding cigars in their mouths and chatting happily. The theme was naturally Batman and Bruce Wayne.

"It's great. Batman finally surfaced and was imprisoned. Even if the judge only convicts him of manslaughter, he will have to stay in jail for a long time. Gotham will be our world from now on."

"I bribed people at the police station and learned more details. The Joker did all this. I don't know how he knew that Bruce Wayne was Batman, and sent the video of the parking lot murder to Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne had to voluntarily surrender. Hahaha, the Joker is really a master at playing with people's hearts. As I said, he is the only one who can deal with Batman."

"I hate clowns, but I want to say that the clown did a great job this time. Our alarm has finally been lifted." A guy said with a smile.

Although the Penguin hates Batman, he hates the Joker even more. He thinks that he is the one who has the potential to become the underground emperor of Gotham, but he lost to the Joker in dealing with Batman.

"Everyone, it is indeed a joyful thing to solve Batman. I now have a plan. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?" Penguin said.

"What's the plan?" someone asked curiously.

"Haha, a plan that I believe all of you will like. I gave this plan an appropriate name, 'Legalization of Crime.'" Penguin said with a smile.

All the gangsters were stunned. They could naturally understand this term. Crime is legal. If it is legal, is it still a crime?

"How is this possible?" someone immediately asked.

Penguin stood up, tried to make himself taller, and said confidently: "I believe it is entirely possible that we have controlled a group of councilors and then bribed the mayor and others. As long as the council passes, anything can be done." It can be legal.”

"What about after the legalization of crime? So people can commit crimes casually?" someone asked.

"Of course not, these must be controlled in our hands. We can issue 'criminal licenses' to allow everyone to commit crimes under legal circumstances, such as robbery. You must have a robbery license. If you don't have a robbery license, that's it." Illegal, if you have a robbery permit, robbery is legal, and there will be no legal punishment after the robbery." Penguin Humanity.

Although the people here are all gangsters, they still think this plan is crazy.

"Is it really feasible?" someone hesitated.

"Hehehehe~~" Penguin smiled softly and said: "I am very sure about this matter. As long as we unite, the future Gotham will be our world. When we issue a criminal license, everyone must listen to us. Yes, we are the real kings, your business will only be better and you will make more money.”

When these people heard that it was not harmful to them and was very beneficial, and they could make more money, they immediately nodded.

After the meeting, Penguin returned to his office and stood by the window sill looking at the sky in Gotham. Although it was daytime, the sky was extremely gloomy, and the cold wind made the flags on the flagpole rattle.

Penguin looked outside, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and murmured to himself: "With the legalization of crime, this city will quickly become extremely chaotic. By issuing a criminal license, I can have information on all criminals." After the chaos, people will long for stability. At that time, I will stand up and run for mayor. My promise to them is to reduce crime. I believe that the people will support me. By then, I will be the mayor of this city. Hahahahahahaha~~!”

The Penguin began to implement his plan, but before he could complete it, Gotham City was already in chaos.

Gotham has always been a crime capital. In the past, many criminals were in hiding because of Batman's intimidation. Now that Batman is in prison and the crime nemesis is gone, criminals have suddenly become extremely rampant.

Guys in the drug business are now openly driving trucks into town as casually as delivering flour.

On the streets at night, as long as people go out, the chance of being robbed is about 50%. If you don't get robbed, you can only say that you are very lucky.

In the past, robberies only occurred in extremely remote streets. Now, on the main road, there are people brazenly coming to rob you with guns. When someone is waiting for the traffic light, someone will come and snatch your bag on the passenger seat, facing the dark hole. The citizens did not dare to resist.

Robbery incidents occur frequently. There used to be a few in a night, but now there are dozens in a night. People dare not go out when it gets dark.

There are dozens of banks in Gotham. On the craziest day, seven banks were robbed by gangsters at the same time. The police were overwhelmed at the moment. During the on-site shootout, many police officers were shot to death by the vicious gangsters.

The policemen who previously said that Batman took credit for their work now miss the vigilantes who helped them catch bad guys.

People used to say that Batman disrupted legal proceedings and damaged public facilities, but no one says that now. They miss Batman extremely and hope he will come back and continue to uphold justice.

Jiang Hao was watching all this and thought of a famous line in his mind, "The whole northwestern Shanxi is in chaos."

Before, people criticized Batman on the Internet and in the media, saying that he had various problems. Now that Gotham is in complete chaos, no one says that anymore. Now more people on the Internet hope that Batman will come back.

Jiang Hao felt funny in his heart. He wanted to tell these people, "If you don't know how to appreciate what you have, you will only know how precious it is when you lose it!"

"Treasure it while you are here!"
