Chapter 27

Falcone's rule, in today's view, is a dictatorship full of black violence.

No matter what business you run in Gotham, you must pay protection fees to the Mafia led by Falcone, or you will not survive in this city for a day.

Of course, the reason for order is that the protection fee can be renamed as management fee. After all, Gotham is already the city of gangs.

But this also brings a problem, that is, in this city, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and poorer. After all, the more people at the bottom of the society, the more exploited they will be.

It's like in the sea, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat sludge.

In Gotham at that time, more than 90% of the people did not even count the sludge. They had to struggle to survive in the most ordinary positions. After paying the protection fee every month, the remaining money could only barely survive and continue to make money for the gangs next month.

Everyone is in a hurry and numb, living the same day every day, doing everything they ask you to do under the supervision of the gangs, no matter what.

If people don't obey, they will be punished severely or even worse. For example, houses are set on fire, submachine guns are fired on the road, and the whole family is bound with cement bricks and sunk into the sea. All of them are covered by this kind of black terror.

You can't even get anything taken in by gangsters. They take everything.

Your husband is handsome. Take it.

Your bike is of good quality. Take it.

Your sofa fabric is very soft. Take it.

Although these things are not done by the falconey family, and most of them are small gangsters, but their small gangs are attached to the big gangs, and the big gangs are attached to the bigger ones until they belong to the top ten families.

In other places, if you ask children what they want to be when they grow up, the answer must be a variety of people who want to be scientists, magistrates, or firefighters.

But in Gotham at that time, there was only one answer - to be the boss.

Because the only way for children to get ahead is to join the gangs, follow a good boss, become the kind of people they hate most when they were young, and climb up step by step through various dark behaviors.

At that time, more than half of the officials in Gotham government accepted political contributions from gangs, and the remaining half lived under the threat of gangs, which can be said to be a hopeless city.

It was then that retired James Gordon returned to the city and became a criminal policeman. The first case he took over was that of Brisbane's parents, shot in the alley.

He comforted young bris and assured her that he would find out everything and get justice for her parents.

But all the clues point to the gangs. In the process of solving the case, he encountered a lot of things, which made him see the terrible torrent in the dark.

Strictly speaking, Gordon, as a homicide detective at that time, had a good life.

As a policeman, he doesn't have to pay protection fees, and gangsters don't take the initiative to trouble them.

After all, in the eyes of the ten families, Gotham is their own city, and the police in the city are also maintaining law and order for their families. How can there be any reason why their own people also pay protection fees?

Although Gordon was born in Gotham, he has seen the outside world. It is not like Gotham is always gray. He can not accept that his city is like this.

He is ready to bring all the gangs to justice and let Gotham see the light again.

Although half of his rice bowl was farkone's, it was always full of good food.

But he did it not for himself, but for more poor people.

So he suffered a lot. He was demoted, threatened, framed and assassinated.

With the deepening of his investigation, the means of the gangs became more and more fierce. Countless times, he nearly died and survived. Until the appearance of bat girl more than ten years ago, they worked hard together for three years, and he finally won....

the ten families disintegrated, leaving only one coport family, today's Penguin girl, who occupied one percent of the territory before It's not even small.

He personally sent Falcone, the former Gotham emperor, to the Black Gate prison.

Although he came out soon, he went to Hong Kong and Gordon never saw him again.

After that, Gordon spent more energy on dealing with various masked people. Only when one person took a rest and drank at night, would he think of those thrilling young people.

Now, the memory of the person appears.

"Gordon, you're old now, good boy."

Farkone with emotion, looking at Gordon's eyes, there is no hatred, just like an ordinary old man looking at his nephew.

He was still so magnanimous. His suit was stiff and gentle. Everything in this room seems to be back in time, back to the glorious age of the Roman, when Gordon first met him.At the beginning of solving the case, he came to Falcone to look for clues, and Falcone received him with great magnanimity. The underground emperor of the city and a small policeman talked across this desk.

Just like today.

Gordon will not be confused by him. Maybe he would have been 30 years ago, but he is not today. He still remembers how his subordinates "invited" him.

The Romans are back, armed!

"You're older than me, Falcone."

Gordon didn't flinch even when he was in a desperate situation, and he immediately retorted.

Falconey only laughed, and his hand was still caressing his cat, which was so drowsy by the fireplace and yawning comfortably in his arms.

"Yes, we are all old, and the world is destined to belong to young people, so I intend to come back to this place before I die."

"Gotham is nothing to see. You should go back to Hong Kong." Gordon sat opposite him and looked at him calmly.

Falcone's hand stopped for a moment. He lowered his head and sniffed the rose on his chest. He looked up at Gordon in a puzzled way: "yes, there's nothing good to see... I gave you a brilliant city, but you actually made it like this?"

"At least people are free." Gordon closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

"What is freedom? They don't even dare to go out at night Falcone shook his head and laughed as if he had heard a joke. Seeing Gordon close his eyes, he added, "you cheated me with bat girl. I don't blame you, because I know you want a better city."

"I don't blame her, because someone in the family killed her parents behind my back. Although it was the infiltration of the court, it was also my deserved retribution."

"Gordon did not speak.

"Remember? What do you want, I ask? You tell me what you want is a city where people can live and work in peace and their children can grow up healthily. So I let go, I gave it to you, let you achieve what I can't do, I let you put me in prison, I made you become Gotham's hope, and then I went away, but this is the answer you gave me? "

Falcone calmly placed the cat on the carpet and watched it curl up and go to sleep. He took the bottle from his desk and poured it into two glasses. The golden liquor glowed in the fire.

"Gotham... It's just going to take time, it's going to get better..." Gordon said something he couldn't believe.

"That's why I like you, Gordon. You're always hopeful and you don't give up." Falcone stood up with a smile, shaking a glass of wine into Gordon's hand, and gently clinked a glass with him: "compared with the little limp of the capotes, you are my ideal successor."
