Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics - Chapter 160
In the intricate sewers, McGinson and his party followed Blake and headed for their base camp.
“Looking at what you look like, it should have been against Bain for a long time.”
As he walked, McGinson asked Blake suddenly.
“Although Bain only announced to the outside world that he had a nuclear bomb three days ago, I don’t believe that just three days will make Gotham what it is now.”
“Three days?”
Blake let out a sneer before telling a shocking truth.
“GCPD was attacked by Bain ten days ago!”
“How is this possible! Bain only blew up the bridge from Gotham to the outside world three days ago. If he had launched an operation ten days ago, the government would not have received any news.”
Pamela couldn’t talk about it before McGinson spoke.
“Of course the government got the news long ago!”
Blake said solemnly.
“Bain’s actions that day exceeded all of our expectations. He had been lurking in Gotham City a long time ago, and his power has penetrated all levels.”
“At the same time they attacked GCPD, all of Gotham’s communications were interrupted by their interference. Once the entire city suddenly lost contact, the Intelligence Bureau would find anomalies in the first place.”
“For such a big matter, the government has already had a mature warning system. Why would it be necessary to bomb the bridge to spread the news?”
“So, Bain’s threat to the government started ten days ago, not three days ago.”
McGieson concluded.
“I think that although Bain can cut off the city’s communication, you should also keep the method of contacting the National Security Bureau, and the result after you get in touch is likely to be unsatisfactory.”
“But there is another doubt.”
Pamela stared at McGieson’s profile intently, unable to move her eyes away for a moment, waiting for his next words.
“From ten days ago to three days ago, during the seven-day period in between, how did Bain conceal the news and not leak it? The government might take into account various reasons and suppress this incident, but normal communication with Gotham How do people solve it?”
“Citizens of Gotham generally rarely go to other cities, and foreigners come to Gotham for vacation or travel are also pitiful, so as long as Bain puts a sign for temporary maintenance on several bridges.”
“Basically, it can prevent outsiders from entering Gotham from land.”
“But Miller Port is the two important ports with the same name as New York Port. The cargo ships passing by are quite dense. It is obviously impossible to kill them all. So how did Bain hide these people?”
McGinson looked at Blake and asked.
“I don’t believe that Bain’s men can impersonate port workers. Many of the secret words among sailors cannot be imitated by laymen.”
“Moreover, all the faces at the port suddenly changed, anyone would doubt it.”
“If you can think of these layers, your mind is very difficult. I begin to believe that you are an agent.”
Blake’s eyes were surprised, and he answered McGieson’s question.
“In fact, we thought that at the beginning. The government deliberately suppressed the incident to appease Bain. The dozens of cargo ships that come here every day will always find anomalies in the city and send messages to the outside.”
“But after a few days, there was no news. Until Bain bombed the bridge three days ago, Miller Harbor remained the same as before, as if nothing happened.”
Blake gritted his teeth.
“Later, our people took the risk to go there and found out that it was because a person was there that the merchant ships were not suspicious.”
“one person?”
“Yes, a woman. She is the second largest shareholder of Wayne Enterprises after the fall of Daggett, Miranda Tate.”
McGinson narrowed his eyes, and it was this woman.
No, it could only be her.
Miranda Tate.
His real name is Thalia El Gul, the daughter of Lei Xiaogu.
She is the true successor of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, and Baine is just a guardian who is loyal to her.
“How could it be Ms. Tate!”
Pamela couldn’t believe that Miranda was a real big philanthropist in the heart of every Gotham citizen, not a villain who wanted to make a name for himself.
Blake looked at Pamela suspiciously, whether the reaction was too big.
Although he had almost this expression when he first knew it, Fujiko Mine is obviously an Oriental name and not a native of Gotham. Is that true?
Pamela realized her gaffe instantly and quickly added.
“In our investigations all the time, Miranda Tate is a philanthropist with a sense of justice. It should be the most unlikely person to help Bain. In fact, I personally have always admired Miranda Tate. Such a woman.”
“What you just said is seriously inconsistent with our intelligence.”
McGieson was noncommittal. It would be weird if Pamela didn’t react so much. Miranda’s reputation in Gotham was really not covered.
After all, even Bruce was deceived by Miranda’s acting skills, and who could doubt her.
In this way, the last doubt is solved.
The second largest shareholder of Wayne Enterprises personally received Miranda, or the highly anticipated Miranda. Naturally, no one would doubt that the sky has changed in Gotham City.
Gotham Harbor and New York Harbor are so close that even if the sailors need to rest, the fleet generally will not stop in Gotham, and will go straight to New York after the cargo is unloaded.
“Is it possible that Bain forced Ms. Tate to do this?”
Pamela made a hypothesis.
“I think it’s impossible.”
McGieson retorted immediately.
“If Ms. Tate desperately wants to ask for help from the outside world, she has a lot of opportunities. Even if Bain sends someone to watch her, there is always the possibility of uncertainty.”
“Bain is thoughtful. If there is a possibility of leaking in advance, he will not allow this possibility to exist.”
Blake nodded. He felt that Lupin III had a lot in common with his own ideas.
This made his sense of vigilance unknowingly drop a lot.
“Inspector Blake, have you found out where Bain is hiding the nuclear bomb during this time?”
McGinson asked again.
“We haven’t found it yet, but Director Gordon has some clues, but no one can use this clue to infer the location of the nuclear bomb.”
Blake shook his head and said.
“Don’t ask what the clues are, and wait until you see the director.”
“Okay, then how long will we get there?”
McGinson asked.
“Up to five minutes.”
I saw Blake gradually speed up his pace, ran forward for more than 20 meters, then turned sharply to the right and entered a passage.
Upon seeing this, McGinson and Pamela immediately followed.
