Chapter 1445 Research on Manipulation (XI)
The next day, when he was washing his teeth, the farmer-looking criminal walked up to Bruce who was brushing his teeth and handed him a toothbrush. Bruce handed him his toothbrush and saw a row of letters and numbers engraved on the bottom of the bristles of the toothbrush head that was exchanged.
It was a very easy-to-guess Caesar cipher. After spelling out the cipher, it said "gate", but obviously, the information Bruce wanted could not be placed on the gate. He quickly guessed that it referred to the southernmost corner of the exercise area, where a corner of the gate could be seen.
Sure enough, during today's exercise time, Bruce found the list of prisoners he wanted in the cracks of the stone pier there. There were only names but no information, but it was enough.
Using the cover of the crowd of serial killers, Bruce quickly wrote down all the names on it, and then began to compare them with the information in his mind. As long as their names had appeared in any newspaper or related information related to the crime, Bruce could immediately call up all the relevant information in his mind.
The crimes committed by the criminals in this heavy criminal prison are very serious and most of them will be reported in the news, so it didn't take long for Bruce to fill in the identity information of all the prisoners in his mind, including where they came from, their background, what crimes they committed, when they were arrested, and when they were tried.
These are all the information mentioned in the news reports, and Bruce himself has sorted out an additional intelligence in his mind, including the weapons that the criminals are good at using, special abilities, relatives who may still be alive, criminal methods, and character weaknesses exposed in the trial, etc.
But not everyone can get the information. There are several people on the list that Bruce has never heard of, including Bane, so what he wants to do is still a mystery.
And just after lunch that day, the footsteps of the prison guards and the cry of a man suddenly sounded in the quiet corridor of the cell. Bruce, who was taking a nap on the bed, opened his eyes sharply, and the next second he met Bane's eyes.
Bruce's instinct told him that he had just done something wrong and he shouldn't have reacted so quickly. Sure enough, Bane's eyes became deeper, and he obviously raised Bruce's threat level by one level in his mind.
The prison guard and a strange man were pushing and shoving each other in the corridor, mainly because the prison guard was whipping the man's arm with a baton. Bruce looked out through the bars of the cell and found that the man was not big, thin, had black and gray hair, and a thick beard. He looked like a Latino, but he might also be mixed-race.
The prison guard took the man to the door of Bruce's cell, opened the door and pushed him in. The bearded man spat on the ground, cursed in the local dialect, and then looked up at the people in the cell.
When he saw Bruce, he quickly passed by, and when he saw Bane, his eyes stopped, and then he showed an inexplicable smile.
Bruce turned his gaze to Tang En calmly. Tang En's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, because this man seemed to be easier to bully than him, and he was not honest. Maybe he would soon anger the Bandage Killer or the scary big guy, so that he might be able to escape.
Bruce's conscience was all for the blue-eyed Batman, and he was now the true embodiment of fear. At this moment, he could only feel dissatisfied that Tang En's long-brewing fear had weakened.
The bearded man walked briskly to the center of the room and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Miguel Felix Gallardo. I'm from Guadalajara, Mexico. I run a small drug trafficking business. I was imprisoned here because I caught an FBI agent some time ago. I skinned him, pulled out his tendons, broke his bones, and bled him. I tortured him for 30 hours before he died."
"These Americans always say I'm inhumane, but I just give them one thousandth of what they did to us, and they cry and scream and can't stand it. Ha, it's funny, right?"
The drug dealer named Gallardo spoke briskly as if this was not a prison, but his own prison. His home, then he shrugged and said: "My favorite country in my life is the United States, especially their laws. I killed so many FBI agents, but they still couldn't sentence me to death, and they found me a nice place to live."
After that, Gallardo looked up at the environment in the cell, then his eyes fell on Bruce's face and said: "Hey, man, your dress reminds me of the Day of the Dead, it's quite fashionable."
Bruce immediately recalled the information of Miguel Gallardo in his mind, but the first thing he thought of was not the news report on his life, but his friend Green Arrow Oliver Queen's evaluation of him.
When Oliver and Hal went to Mexico, they just caught Miguel Gallardo. From them, Oliver learned that his family, the Quinn family, was actually engaged in drug trafficking in the United States and Mexico for many years. This greatly touched Oliver, so he gave up the family business and devoted himself to Mexico, wanting to help the people here get their land back.
What surprised Bruce was that Oliver's evaluation of Gallardo was not completely negative. Indeed, he was an extremely cruel drug lord. Agents who fell into his hands would experience inhumane torture. The latest reports on him in the news channel were rare. Gallardo's reputation for cruelty could be regarded as unique among all Mexican drug dealers.
But Oliver had carefully analyzed Gallardo's personality to Bruce. He was an American hater. He blamed all the tragedies suffered by Mexico, Mexicans and himself on the United States.
Oliver also admitted that the United States did have an unshirkable responsibility, and the CIA, which condoned and even took the initiative to commit drug crimes, was even more to blame. However, Gallardo just used this reason to feel at ease to do cruel things. That cruelty did not come entirely from hatred, but more from himself.
Simply put, without the United States, he would still be an antisocial element if he was not born in Mexico, but his extreme thoughts played a positive role in the armed struggle in Mexico.
Gallardo's propaganda about the crimes of the CIA shocked many Mexicans who had not yet awakened. He had cooperated with the CIA, so he knew a lot of well-founded and completely reasonable inside information. After he made these news public, many Mexicans were indignant about it, which increased their acceptance of armed struggle.
Bruce was impressed by Oliver's words-anyone in the world can judge this cruel executioner, only the United States cannot, because that would make this devil a real hero in Mexico.
But now that Gallardo has been tried and came to prison, Bruce can already imagine how some Mexicans will view this trial.
Populism is very interesting. People with this emotion can always cross all moral and even humanitarian bottom lines. Bruce knows very well that if Gallardo stirs up public emotions through populism, then what Oliver is doing will definitely be stigmatized, and the great ideal will be pulled down from the altar and promoted as revenge and hatred of one nation against another. This is definitely not what Oliver wants to see.
Gallardo must die.
In just two seconds, Bruce had sentenced Gallardo to death in his heart. He began to think about other things quickly. First of all, was Gallardo's appearance here a coincidence?
Absolutely impossible. Bruce judged that Amanda could arrange Bane to come and kill him, and she could also arrange Gallardo to come, but the question was, how would Amanda deal with Gallardo?
Bruce deduced from the beginning that his identity was Elliot now, and Amanda would not let Elliot go because Elliot killed the whole family of the farmer's daughter, Bellica.
Amanda's experience was exactly the same as Bellica's. Both of them were killed by serial killers, leaving only one daughter. This would definitely trigger some bad memories for her. She would vent her hatred for the serial killer who killed her whole family on Elliot and would not let him leave the prison alive.
So, she got Bane from somewhere, and was successfully deceived by Bane's disguise as a reckless man. Instead of putting him in a special prison, she threw him into this cell and ordered him to kill Elliot.
In Amanda's plan, Bane must have succeeded in killing Elliot, but Bane did not do it on the first day he arrived here, nor on the second day, which was beyond Amanda's plan, so she made another move and let Gallardo in.
According to this logic, Amanda did not want to use Bane to kill Gallardo. After Bane disobeyed her order and did not kill Elliot, Amanda must have urged Bane instead of throwing in another target she wanted Bane to kill.
Then a conclusion is drawn that Gallardo, who was put in at this time, was used by Amanda to urge Bane.
Did Gallardo also reach a deal with Amanda? Will he talk to Bane? Will the two of them want to kill Elliot together?
No, that's not right. Bruce suddenly had an idea. Amanda wanted Bane to take Gallardo out of prison. This was Amanda's reward to Bane.
Amanda thought she could keep Bane in prison, so she might use freedom as a reward. She let Gallardo in to remind Bane to kill his target quickly, and then he could take Gallardo back to freedom.
So why Bane?
Bruce looked up at Bane, and then he heard the big guy speak to Gallardo in Spanish.
"I met one of your men in Peñaduro Prison. He described you as a god and a devil."
"Are you from the Caribbean?" Bruce asked.
"Yes, I was born in the Republic of Santa Prisca." Bane's tone even had a hint of nostalgia, and he seemed too calm, as if he had a happy childhood like ordinary people, so Bruce had no way of judging his life experience.
"Who did you meet?" Gallardo asked.
"I forgot."
Bain stood up from the bed, seemingly just wanting to stretch his body in the middle of the room. He said in a casual tone: "I was only locked up with them for a short period of time, and then I was moved to another place."
"Oh, really? I hope they don't change my cell." Gallardo spread his hands and said, "I like it here."
"Yes, it's pretty good here, as...your grave."
"Cut!"
Galardo's neck was broken.
Bane let go of his hand, and Bruce saw a kind of darkness that made him tremble from the back of this strong man. It had nothing to do with his strong body, but came from his soul and thoughts.
"Buzz-buzz-! Level 1 security alarm! Level 1 security alarm! Level 1 security alarm!"
Bruce immediately stood up from the bed, facing the wall, squatting with his head in his arms, and said quickly: "You can put a finger into the gap between the inside of the electric shock ring and your ankle. The buckle on the right side is about six millimeters. It is a weak point."
Bane did not move until the armed security personnel rushed in, and then he slowly raised his hands. Bruce, who was squatting by the wall, heard Amanda's angry tone coming from the intercom.
"Take him to the special detention cell. No one is allowed to release him without my order!"
