Chapter 160 The Actual Manipulator of the Shadow Warrior Alliance
In the intricate sewers, Maggieson and his party followed Blake and headed towards their base camp.
"From the looks of you, you should have been fighting Bane for a long time."
While walking, Maggieson suddenly asked Blake.
"Although Bane announced to the outside world that he had a nuclear bomb only three days ago, I don't believe that Gotham can become what it is now in just three days."
"Three days?"
Blake sneered and then told a shocking truth.
"GCPD was attacked by Bane ten days ago!"
"How is this possible! Bane blew up the bridge leading to the outside world in Gotham three days ago. If he launched the action ten days ago, the government would not have received any news."
Before Maggieson spoke, Pamela said in disbelief.
"Of course the government has received the news a long time ago!"
Blake said in a deep voice.
"Bane's actions that day were beyond all of our expectations. He had been lurking in Gotham City for a long time, and his influence had infiltrated all levels of society."
"While they were attacking the GCPD, all of Gotham's communications were disrupted and cut off by them. The entire city suddenly lost contact, and the Intelligence Bureau would immediately discover the abnormality."
"For such a big thing, the government already has a mature alarm system. Why would it need to deliberately blow up the bridge to spread the news?"
"So, Bane's threat to the government began ten days ago, not three days ago."
Magison concluded.
"I think that although Bane can cut off the city's communications, you should also have a way to contact the National Security Bureau, and the result after you get in touch is likely to be unsatisfactory."
"But there is still a doubt."
Pamela stared at Magison's profile intently, her eyes could not move away for a moment, waiting for his next words.
"How did Bane conceal the news from the public during the seven days between ten days ago and three days ago? The government may suppress the matter for various reasons, but how can people who normally travel to Gotham solve the problem?"
"Gotham citizens generally rarely go to other cities, and there are also very few outsiders who come to Gotham for vacation or tourism, so as long as Bane puts a temporary maintenance sign on a few bridges."
"Basically, outsiders can be prevented from entering Gotham from land."
"But Miller Harbor is one of the two important ports with the same reputation as New York Harbor. The cargo ships coming and going are quite dense. It is obviously impossible to kill them all. So how did Bane hide it from these people?"
Magison looked at Blake and asked.
"I don't believe that Bain's men can pretend to be port staff. Many secret words between sailors cannot be imitated by outsiders."
"Besides, all the faces at the port suddenly changed. Anyone would be suspicious."
"You have a very smart mind to think of these things. I'm beginning to believe that you are an agent."
Blake answered Maggieson's question with a look of surprise.
"In fact, we thought so at the beginning. The government deliberately suppressed the incident to appease Bain. The dozens of cargo ships that come here every day can always find abnormalities in the city and pass information to the outside world."
"But after a few days, there was no news. Until Bain blew up the bridge three days ago, Miller Port was the same as always, as if nothing had happened."
Blake gritted his teeth.
"Later, our people took the risk to go there to investigate and found out that it was because of a person that the merchant ships did not suspect anything."
"A person?"
"Yes, a woman. She is Miranda Tate, the second largest shareholder of Wayne Enterprises after Daggett's fall."
McGilson narrowed his eyes. It was this woman.
No, it can only be her.
Miranda Tate.
Her real name is Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Reshogu.
She is the true successor of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, and Bane is just a loyal guardian to her.
"How could it be Ms. Tate!"
Pamela couldn't believe it. In the hearts of every Gotham citizen, Miranda is a true philanthropist, not a villain who seeks fame.
Blake looked at Pamela suspiciously. Isn't this reaction too big?
Although he had almost the same expression when he just found out, Mine Fujiko is obviously an oriental name, not a native of Gotham. Is it necessary to be like this?
Pamela realized her gaffe in an instant and quickly added.
"In our investigation, Miranda Tate is a philanthropist with a strong sense of justice. She should be the least likely to help Bane. In fact, I personally admire women like Miranda Tate."
"What you just said is seriously inconsistent with our intelligence."
Madison did not comment. It would be strange if Pamela did not react so strongly. Miranda's reputation in Gotham is really not to be underestimated.
After all, even Bruce was deceived by Miranda's acting skills, so who could suspect her?
In this way, the last doubt was solved.
The second largest shareholder of Wayne Enterprises personally received Miranda, who was highly regarded. Naturally, no one would doubt that the situation in Gotham City had changed.
Gotham Port and New York Port are so close that even if the sailors need to rest, the fleet will generally not stop in Gotham. After unloading the cargo, it will go straight to New York.
"Is it possible that Bane forced Ms. Tate to do this?"
Pamela put forward a hypothesis.
"I don't think it's possible."
Madison immediately refuted.
"If Ms. Tate wants to seek help from the outside world at all costs, she has a lot of opportunities. Even if Bane sends someone to watch her, there is always uncertainty."
"Bane is meticulous. If there is a possibility of early leakage, he will not allow this possibility to exist."
Blake nodded. He felt that this Lupin III had a lot in common with his own ideas.
This made his vigilance in his heart unconsciously decrease a lot.
"Officer Blake, have you found out where Bane hid the nuclear bomb during this period?"
Magison asked again.
"We haven't found it yet, but Director Gordon has some clues, but no one can infer the hiding place of the nuclear bomb through these clues."
Blake shook his head and said.
"Don't ask what the clues are yet, wait until you see the director."
"Okay, then how long will it take us to get there?"
Magison asked.
"Five minutes at most."
Blake gradually quickened his pace, ran forward for more than 20 meters, turned sharply to the right, and entered a passage.
Seeing this, Magison and Pamela immediately followed.
