In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 286: Caught car thief
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
Batman seldom goes out during the day, and when he chooses to appear in Gotham City during the day, it means that he has very important things to do, such as catching the thief who pried his tires. Car thief.
For the fact that his Batmobile tires were stolen, Batman was not very angry, but felt a little ridiculous. A person who can independently crack the Batmobile's security system can only be a car thief in Gotham. Thief, this city is really magical to the extreme.
It is not difficult for Batman to find the stronghold of this car thief. Obviously, the two thieves who pried off the tires are not that strong in anti-reconnaissance work. Xia Xia touched the cellar in the alley of Juanwei Street.
There are no security measures in this underground base. Batman got in without much effort, and then found the tire that was hung on the wall and hadn't had time to deal with it.
Originally, according to the normal development, Batman should sit here and wait for the owner to come back, and then bring him to justice.
Batman originally planned this way, but while waiting for the thief to come back, Batman was idle and started investigating the base.
But the more he investigates, the more confused Batman becomes. There are indications that the people living here are not adults, but several children.
This is actually very good to judge. The ground here is not a floor or tiles, but fine sand. The footprints left behind have not been cleaned up. You can tell at a glance that it is not an adult, and the tools on the tool table have also been left behind. Fingerprints all show that the person using these tools is a child under ten years old.
When Batman was surprised, he couldn't help but have some other thoughts. He knew that the adults in Gotham City were almost hopeless, and their thinking concepts and ways of doing things had already been formed. There is almost no other way to deal with it other than being thrown into a prison, but children are different.
Batman also knows that even if the children in Gotham are worse than the children in other cities, forming gangs and fighting in the streets every day, as long as they are children, there is a possibility that their education will improve, especially if they are so educated. talent.
In the evening, Jason, who was wearing a worn-out jacket, was limping towards his base. Little Slick supported him and said helplessly, "I know you have to go to the base to keep your own territory." Fighting with them, but fighting too frequently recently, your last injury is still not healed..."
Jason wiped the corner of his mouth, a trace of blood dripped from it. It was dyed on the sleeves of his clothes, but he was used to it. He grinned and said, "I can't help it. Those **** red-mouthed **** are pushing too hard. If I also give up the land at the entrance to the alley, I'll be fine." We really can't make any money..."
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, then broke free from the hand that was holding him by the little slippery head, walked to the cellar, opened the door, and slowly climbed down.
The little slippery head was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly followed him to support him, but when they walked to the workbench, they heard the cellar door being locked with a "click", and then a black figure appeared behind them.
The two of them were taken aback. When they turned around, the little slippery boy looked at the dark figure opposite and said, "Batman???"
Batman paused, and he asked, "You know me?"
Jason glanced back at the bat tire he hung on the wall, then at the calm Batman in front of him, then looked up at the locked cellar door, knowing that he was running No more, he leaned decadently on the workbench behind him and said, "Well, why don't we know you? The famous hero Batman..."
But there was no reverence or admiration in his tone, only deep boredom, looking at the current situation on the court, the little slippery head rubbed his hands and said to Batman: "I'm sorry, Batman, It's true that we stole your Batmobile tire, but we didn't destroy it, you can take it back, don't bother with us..."
"After all..." Xiao Huatou pushed his glasses and said, "The police station doesn't accept children of our age. If you arrest us, they will send us back tomorrow. Why don't we give you our sincere love?" Apologies, just skip this process..."
Batman looked at Jason, he saw a deep bruise on Jason's exposed neck, and the corner of his mouth looked like someone had beaten him, not to mention the blood on his sleeve, he asked : "How did you get hurt like this?"
Jason shook his head with a vicious expression on his face, he didn't seem to want to talk to Batman at all, but fortunately, there was a little slicker present, he said: "He is the boss of the Capuchin Gang, in order to grab the territory, he has to go to Fighting with others..."
"And won!" Jason emphasized.
"How on earth did you pry my tire off?"
"What's so difficult about it?" Jason deliberately raised his voice and said, "Your car is rotten. If the tires weren't too big, I would have removed all four of your tires!"
What he said was mixed with some slang words commonly used by local gangsters, and his tone of voice was very similar to that of a gangster. From his behavior to temperament, he was a typical bad boy.
Batman is not irritated by his behavior, because he has been a vigilante in Gotham for so long, and all the children he met have this virtue.
"Batman, leave us alone, we are just a group of kids, Jason stole your tires only because he was in a hurry to spend money, we know stealing is wrong, but there is no other way."
The little slippery head explained to Batman: "There are more than a dozen children in the Tusk Gang under Jason, and five or six of them are too young. When they go to sell cigarettes, they are always bullied by older children from other gangs. , can’t sell much in a day, Jason has to earn money to support them, or they will be beaten to death by their boss.”
Batman frowned and asked, "You mean, all the kids under his command are cigarette peddlers?"
"That's right, aren't the members of the Youth Gang all these people?"
"Who are they going to pay?"
"Their leaders are usually some older children, and then these children are handed over to their 'mom and dad'."
"And then?"
The little slippery head shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't do this, but I heard that they will hand it over layer by layer and hand it over to a person called the big boss."
"That's not what you do?" Batman looked at Slick, and saw that he was indeed different from the common kids in Gotham. Instead of a jacket, he was wearing a used turtleneck sweater , with a pot head and glasses, looks more like a nerd.
"I'm a skilled worker, and now I'm studying in Gotham's vocational education school. Jason saved my life, so I just hang out with him."
"I didn't save you to get you to repay me! You better leave quickly! I want to steal the tires, if you have any trouble, come to me!" Jason said loudly.
"Don't be like this Jason, I believe Batman is a good guy, I heard that he saved a dancer who was robbed, he should be willing to listen to our explanation..."
Speaking, the little slippery head continued: "Not all children are as lucky as me. They have a good craft and can work for the gangsters, and they can even go to school safely. Most of the children are under their 'parents. 'The subordinates are either selling cigarettes, begging, or doing some dirty work..."
"You stole my tires, I should have arrested you, or taught you a lesson, but because you are children, I can let you go, but you have to promise me one condition... ..."
Jason turned his head and glanced at the little slippery head. He touched the wound next to his mouth and said, "I did the thing. What are the conditions? Tell me."
"I want to know, what happened to those who manipulated children to work for them? Who is the so-called big boss? I hope you can help me investigate these things..."
"It's no use." Jason shook his head and said, "The big boss is very mysterious, and we kids can't see it, and there are too many people doing this kind of thing, how do you want me to find out?"
"I guess you've got a way, don't you?"
"Your name is Jason, right? Listen, Jason..."
Batman looked into Jason's eyes and said: "Since you are willing to fight for those children's business, and even give money to help them, it shows that you are not bad in nature, and you are very loyal."
"You also know that going on like this is not an option. When this batch of children grows up, there will be another batch. You can't keep protecting them like this. The only way is to thoroughly investigate these people who manipulate them, and then think about it. Ways to deal with them."
Jason put his forearm on his knees, lowered his head and said nothing, Batman continued: "Since you have heard of my name, you should know that I have cracked down on many criminals, but in For this kind of thing, I really need an assistant, after all, I am not a child, so I cannot participate in your group..."
"If I can succeed, you and the children under your command will have a better life, won't you?"
Jason was silent for a long time before he said: "Okay, but I have to listen to this matter, you can't do it recklessly, and you have to promise that no matter whether you succeed or not, you will never trouble the two of us again." .”
Batman nodded, and then he threw Jason a cylindrical device, which was a small flashlight, and he said, "Press that button on the tail, and you'll be able to project a miniature bat light into the air~IndoMTL.com~ When I see it, I will rush over, press and hold the button, and it will send out a communication that only I can receive, to contact me in an emergency.”
The little slicker looked at the thing with bright eyes, and Batman said to him: "Don't even think about taking it apart, you will never put it back together, if you can provide useful information, I can put it in my southern suburbs stronghold. I will lend you a laboratory of mine, there are many good things in it..."
Little Slick and Jason looked at each other, then at Batman. They said in unison: "Okay, deal."
After Batman left, Jason said to the little slippery head: "You better leave here, you don't need to get involved in this kind of thing, if I really want to help him investigate this matter, it will be very dangerous, Those 'Mom and Dad' will not let me go."
"Batman is right, Jason." The little slicker's tone was always calm, he said: "You also said before that those 'mom and dad' have gone too far recently, and they have begun to formulate more High goals require more money, and those who fail to achieve them will be punished more severely. If this continues, those children will definitely not survive, and we really have to stop all of this.”
Jason frowned and said, "Actually, I thought about it too, isn't it a bit strange?"
"Since I was on the street, I haven't heard of any changes to this system, but recently it seems to be getting more and more excessive. Could it be that something happened to the big boss that made him so anxious Squeeze this group of children?"
"Not only that." Little Slick touched his chin and said, "When I was in a vocational school, I met the parents of those students, that is, the bosses of the gangsters. From their chats, I heard that recently Gotham The situation of the gang is unstable, and the top twelve families seem to be in a commotion..."
