Chapter 27 (1/2)

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.
