American comics: Only I know the plot

Chapter 87 The Penguin is Brought to Justice

Levi put away his pistol, got up, and continued walking towards Cobblestone.

"Thank you for saving me, Mr. Cobblestone."

Standing face-to-face with the penguin, Li Wei realized that this guy was really short, and his neck was really pointed.

"I should be thanking you, Mr. Li Wei."

Cobblestone smiled, a look of gratitude on his face. "If it weren't for you, my mother might..."

Li Wei patted Cobblestone on the shoulder. "Let's keep things separate. Even if it wasn't your mother, I would have done the same for anyone else."

After Li Wei finished speaking, he gestured to the police officer next to him to come forward and handcuff Cobert.

The silver handcuffs locked Copperfield's wrists, but he did not resist. He just kept looking at Frances with tender eyes.

The gunfire gradually subsided, with both sides' men either killed or wounded, and the few survivors were taken into custody by the police.

The fire in the church was extinguished, the thick smoke gradually dissipated, and the church was a mess.

The walls were riddled with bullet holes, and the ground was littered with corpses, shards of glass, and ashes from the fire.

The air was filled with the smells of blood, gunpowder, and burnt meat.

Smelling the charred aroma of the roasted meat, Li Wei wondered where the smell came from and couldn't help but gag.

As the ambulance siren drew closer, medical personnel finally arrived at the scene.

They checked the injured officer and then put the injured Frances into the ambulance.

Copeport was escorted by police officers and stood aside, watching his mother being put into the ambulance, his eyes full of worry.

Li Wei walked up to him, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, your mother will be fine."

"Thank you so much."

Cobbler thanked Levi and then glanced at the officers on either side.

"Mr. Li Wei, would you please let go of me for a moment?"

Although Li Wei was puzzled, he still gave the two police officers a wink.

After being released, Copeton stretched his arms and legs and gave Levi an embarrassed smile.

"I haven't been treated like this in a long time, and I'm really not used to it. Can I have a private chat with you for a bit, Mr. Li Wei? I promise it will only benefit you."

Although he didn't know what the Penguin was up to, considering his behavior just now, Li Wei felt that the guy probably wouldn't hurt him.

After all, if it weren't for him, he might already be a corpse.

"You guys go ahead for a bit, I need to have a private chat with Mr. Cobblestone."

Li Wei said something to the two police officers, then led the penguin to the other side.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Li Wei. You will not be disappointed."

As he spoke, Coppola took a file folder out of his clothes and handed it to Levi.

"Open it and take a look, Mr. Li Wei. The contents here will be very helpful in achieving your revenge."

It contains evidence of Cameron's collusion with politicians, including illicit money, women, and other shady dealings.

He spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Even if it's just my last shred of conscience, I hope you can change Gotham, and I also hope that after I die, you can take good care of my mother."

Li Wei solemnly accepted the file bag. Although Coppert made it sound so easy, he knew the weight of the document in his hand.

No wonder this guy dared to declare he was running for mayor; he had already figured out the Achilles' heel of Gotham's politicians.

Li Wei opened the file bag and took out the file.

The topmost document was slightly yellowed, but the writing on it was still clear, recording Gotham's darkest secrets.

He looked up at Cobblestone, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

This ambitious man, with blood on his hands, ultimately gave up everything for his mother.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cobblestone, I understand what you mean."

I will make good use of this, and thank you for your contributions to Gotham.

Li Wei put the document back into the bag, sealed it, and then kept the bag close to his body for safekeeping.

An ambulance was about to depart in the distance, and from his angle, he could just see Frances struggling to sit up.

She looked at Copeport with sorrow in her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Cobb nodded at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.

That was the only genuine smile he had shown in the past few days.

As the police officers escorted him into the police car, he took one last look at the direction of the ambulance as the door closed, his eyes filled with reluctance and longing.

The police car and the ambulance started moving almost simultaneously, but they headed in different directions.

A week later, Coppert was sentenced to life imprisonment on multiple charges, including murder, manufacturing and trafficking drugs, kidnapping, and illegal possession of firearms.

As for where this guy was imprisoned, it was, of course, the infamous Arkham Asylum.

When the verdict was announced on television, the entire city of Gotham was in an uproar.

A former frontrunner for mayor and one of the de facto rulers of the Falcone family, he was imprisoned and became a prisoner.

What surprised everyone even more was that anyone with even a little bit of inside information...

Everyone knows that the Falcone family, which had dominated Gotham for decades, has vanished without a trace.

Looking at the verdict in his hand, Li Wei was very surprised.

Although Cobblestone saved his life, he still believed that for what Cobblestone had done, it was entirely justified to execute him.

I don't know what these guys were thinking, they only sentenced him to life imprisonment.

If this continues, it's no wonder Gotham's crime rate is so high.

However, thinking about the document in his hand, Li Wei felt relieved.

So many people are involved, including some in important positions in this incident.

These people must have known that Kobe Bryant had dirt on him, and to prevent Kobe from going down in flames, this was the only way they could do it.

...

The iron gates of Arkham Asylum slowly opened, and Cobblestone, dressed in prison garb, was escorted inside by prison guards.

This place is heavily guarded, with high walls standing everywhere.

The iron bars on the windows were tightly shut, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Thinking of Sofia's past presence in this place, he looked up at the towering walls and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

This place was once Sofia's prison, and now it seems to have become his final resting place.

The prison guards led him into a solitary cell and then locked the iron door.

As the iron gate slammed shut, Copport walked to the window and looked at the gray sky outside.

He stretched out his finger and pressed it against the cold glass, and his mother's gentle smile involuntarily appeared before his eyes.

Many years ago, he and his mother depended on each other for survival. Although life was very hard, he now thinks back on it and it was full of warmth.

I don't know when it started, but his goals changed, and he began to pursue power.

It can be said that ever since he realized the importance of power, everything he did was in pursuit of power and he longed to stand at the top.

Ultimately, it's about escaping the fate of being ridiculed and trampled upon.

He climbed his way up by stepping on the corpses of others, his hands stained with blood, but in the end he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Perhaps this is the rule of Gotham—no one can truly control this place, and all ambition and scheming will eventually be swallowed by darkness.

Looking at the sky outside, Copport suddenly paused, and by the light of the street lamp outside the window, he noticed that snowflakes were falling gently.
