Chapter 3314 Bloody New City (37)

Chapter 3288 Bloody New City (37)

Batman was waiting in his office when Gordon brought Phils back to the police station.

Gordon was really angry this time. He couldn't tolerate Pheles provoking him like this, so he ignored Batman and went straight to the interrogation room.

In Gotham, the police are not at a high level, and no rich man is afraid of the police. But they are not afraid of the police because they cannot commit crimes. To be precise, the law cannot judge the crimes they committed.

When the police face them, they are always helpless because all the police understand that even if you arrest this group of people, they have ten thousand ways to get rid of themselves.

In the end, they won't lose anything, but the police who caught them may be held grudge by them. So Gotham police never mess with rich people.

But the premise of this situation is that there is really no way to convict them. Their case is still within their ability to settle the matter. Once the case is serious and the evidence is conclusive, the police will arrest people.

Over the years, it’s not that there are no rich people going to jail. The main reason for this group of people was framed by their own peers. As long as the case is serious enough, the impact is great, and the evidence is sufficient, they can still be let go to prison.

For this reason, elites generally do not offend the police to death. Even if the police who were not bribed by them, most of them maintain superficial peace.

The main reason why Gordon, the police chief, can do it now is that he will not be bribed by anyone. In this way, he is neutral and safe for everyone, so most people are willing to sell him face. As long as it does not involve core interests, they will not deliberately make things difficult for him.

In order to use the power of the police to suppress civilians, they will help the police strengthen their prestige, at least on the surface, look respectful and fearful of the police, and leave no talk to themselves.

They understood that Gordon had no good feelings for his group of people, so they didn't usually touch his bad temper. The two sides maintain a delicate balance and remain peaceful for many years.

This balance is actually beneficial. Police can free up more time to deal with ordinary people and improve Gotham's security situation. A little energy can be used on elites to improve at least three points.

For this reason, Gordon is willing to give them face. As long as it is not too excessive and does not cause harm to ordinary people, Gordon will not deliberately make things difficult for them.

But this time, Philes did too much and left no room for Gordon. Is it tolerable, but who can't bear it?

If he doesn't care about this matter, then no one will listen to him in the future. If anyone can kill someone at will and throw it to the police station door, then he, the police chief, should not do it, go home and carry the feces.

Gordon didn't come out after entering the interrogation room. Batman waited in the office for a long time, but couldn't wait for Gordon's people at all.

Batman really wants to remain objective, but he thinks that one time is a coincidence, two times are a probability, and every time is a coincidence, isn’t anyone really making a mistake?

Batman came to Gordon to discuss the gambling game. This matter is obviously not that simple, and if you are not prepared, it may cause a huge disaster. He needs Gordon to cooperate with him.

There was no way, Batman could only go downstairs to find another policeman. Fortunately, most of the police knew him at yesterday's barbecue party. When they saw him coming, they greeted him enthusiastically and explained to Batman what had just happened.

At this time, Tok's body had been taken away, but the blood had not been completely cleaned up. Batman looked around the hall and probably restored the other party's crime.

Just as he was reasoning, several police officers from the Physical Evidence Department walked in with the information. When they saw Batman nodded to him, they went straight to the interrogation room.

Batman walked to the interrogation room to hear what they were talking about. The police guarding the door originally wanted to drive him away, but Gordon called him in when he saw him coming.

"Boss, the forensic examination report shows that the knife wounds on him are not fatal injuries. The real fatal injury is a penetrating wound in the throat. Judging from the shape of the wound, the weapon should be a slender fruit knife. .”

"And on the fatal injury, some fructose ingredients were found. This means that the knife might have been used to cut fruit a few minutes ago. We tested the fructose concentration and initially deduced it should be an apple."

As soon as I finished saying this, a noise came from outside the hall door. A young police officer walked in with a small box and said, "Someone just sent someone to deliver this."

"who?"

"He said his name was Pheles."

Gordon took the box and opened it. Inside the box was an apple and a knife.

The apple's skin was peeled off and it was bitten. Blood was stuck on the knife and fingerprints were also on the handle.

Gordon immediately handed the box to the person in the Physical Evidence Department, looked at Philes with a look of the dead, and left the interrogation room without saying anything.

"You came to me for a gambling thing, right?" Gordon looked straight to Batman after walking out of the door, and said, "Your psychologist said you are in a very bad mental state. I think you should go and recuperate."

"I don't have a psychiatrist," Batman said. "If it were Schiller and you, he was just trying to get a relationship between us."

"I'm just caring for you, not forcing you to do anything," Gordon shook his head and said, "You know the person who will force you is no longer there. If you still can't adapt to this kind of friend-like care, then You will make him sad too.”

Batman didn't agree with him, he tried to bring the topic back on track. He said: "That guy Little Philes won't come up with such an idea. Someone should be giving him advice behind the scenes."

Gordon shook his head and said, "Now is not a good time to find the mastermind behind the scenes. The invitation has been sent out. As far as I know, at least hundreds of people have participated in the gambling game, and each of them is a well-known figure in Gotham. The gambling money has become high It's unimaginable."

"While it is very likely that Fils Jr. will be brought to court with the evidence we have in our hands now, the casino owned by the Fils family is legal. We cannot seize it at this time."

"You can seal it for the time being," Batman said, "because there was a murder. You can keep them closed for a few days on the grounds of investigation."

"Yes, this is OK, but I can't do it." Gordon looked at Batman and said, "Pandora's magic box has been opened. There are so many people who are interested in gambling, and they won't be sealed just because a casino is sealed. Don't bet anymore. They will only go to bet in another place."

"Now we are holding the evidence of Little Pheles' crime in our hands. Maybe we can impress Old Pheles and let the bet take place under our noses. This at least guarantees that there will be no big trouble."

"If someone doesn't know who takes over, they won't have any concerns, but will continue to expand the gambling funds, which will make the market bigger and bigger, and that will be the real disaster at that time."

Batman frowned, and he certainly knew what Gordon said made sense, but he raised another possibility. He said: "Is it possible that the other party sends key evidence to make you feel this way?"

"Make you feel like everything is under control and you won't use GTO to interfere with the gambling game, so that his plan can go smoothly."

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

Gordon thought of Schiller whom he saw at the door of the Phils Casino. He felt that Batman was right, but even though he knew it was, he had no other choice.

"There is this possibility, but no matter what, I can't gamble." Gordon looked at Batman and said, "Batman, we have different identities, so we naturally look at the problem from a different perspective."

"I envy you for letting go of your hands to fight crime, but you must also understand my pursuit of maintaining stability. Maintaining stability is the best situation for most ordinary people, even if maintaining stability, it may be to help others complete it. I have to do that too.”

Batman knew that this was impossible to talk about, but fortunately this was not the first time. He and Gordon have always sought common ground while reserving differences. So he said, "I will go to the casino tonight to investigate and get the list of people who are betting. You have to take people to Arkham Asylum."

Gordon was obviously thinking too, saying: "If nothing unexpected happens, this time it will be a winner-takes all, and there will definitely be someone who wants to do something from it. The Arkham Asylum is the only breakthrough."

"Tork is dead, and Arkham Asylum has no director right now. Although the security facilities established before are still valid, if there is an unexpected situation, someone must be able to deal with it. I will let the GTO stay there in the next few days to prevent anyone from doing it. thing."

Batman shook his head and said, "You can't put all your hands there, it's too remote. If something happens to the city, they may not have time to come back."

"It's really a trouble," Gordon sighed. "I would have liked all the criminals were locked up there, but the most dangerous one was wandering outside now. It's just a waste of time for us to be cloned."

Batman naturally thought of the new clown Maria. Now, almost all dangerous criminals are locked in a madhouse except her. If he went in, they could concentrate all their strength in the asylum.

But unfortunately, the new clown has not appeared since the Charabang chemical plant explosion. She was silent for longer than before, which meant she was likely to have something else to do.

Batman couldn't help but start thinking again, if someone deliberately arranged this bet, what is his purpose?

Or there is no need to go around the corner, what is the purpose of Schiller's game? Batman hasn't seen where the real trap is yet.

At this time, a police officer knocked on the door and walked into the reception room. "The inspection of the apple and the fruit knife has been completed, with Pheles' saliva on the apple and his fingerprint on the hilt of the fruit knife. The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable."

"According to New Jersey law, such vicious cases are not available for bail. Philes will spend some time in prison."

"And old Pheles is too old, and he probably doesn't have the energy to run such a big casino. Pheles East Coast Paradise can only be handed over to his only remaining son to take care of."

Batman left the Gotham Police Department and thought that the dispute between the two brothers of Pheles was no secret in the upper class. Eventually, Philes won the casino, which proved that he was better than his brother.

Now that his brother finally got it back to the casino and took over the gambling game that was made by Little Philes that was popular overnight in the upper class. He must be ready to show his skills.

He himself does not have that mind and cannot think of any good idea. Little Pheles's people will not be used by him, so all he can rely on is the person who helped him take the casino.

Batman doesn't have to think about it, that person must be Schiller.

But the whole process is so familiar. Isn’t it like this that the Charabang family fell?

Batman suddenly discovered that the elite class he and the Pale Knight had always believed to be invincible was not that powerful. When they were held in the palm of Schiller's hand, they were as fragile as egg shells that could be broken with one pinch.

But if Schiller is right, is the dilemma they have experienced in the past because of the wrong walking posture, or is the fundamentally wrong path they are taking?
