Chapter 1633 No Time to Die (Twenty-three)

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Spider-Man stood outside the restaurant knocking on the door, shouting, "Excuse me, is there anyone here? Can anyone open the door for me?"

Batman behind the monitor covered his forehead. It was the first time he saw someone knocking on the door before fighting a super criminal.

Spider-Man knocked on the door for a long time, and a gangster leader with tattoos all over his face and a scar on his left cheek poked his head out and said, "Who the hell is knocking on the door in broad daylight? Don't you know that this place is open at night? Get out of here!"

As soon as the words fell, the gangster leader wanted to close the door, but when he grabbed the door handle and pulled the door inward, he found that the door did not move at all. What appeared in his field of vision was Spider-Man's sandbag-sized fist.

With a "bang", Spider-Man directly knocked the gangster leader who opened the door to the ground, then he pushed the door outward and squeezed in through the gap.

"Help! Help! Someone is forcing their way in!" The gang leader covered his broken nose and shouted, "Hurry up! Another blind person is here to mess things up!"

"Hualala", after a chaotic sound, various disheveled gangsters rushed out with guns, loading their guns while cursing, "Who is this desperate guy? Dare to mess up the Penguin boss's place?!"

"How many people are coming from the opposite side? I will make them die ugly!"

"The boss is talking about business with the mayor. Whoever messes up at this critical moment, the boss will make sure he is killed without a complete body!"

"Sorry, I want to ask, is the Penguin boss you are talking about called Cobert Oswald?"

A slightly childish voice came from the top of the gangster's head, and after a slight "swish", a spider silk fell in front of them.

The gang leader stared at the spider silk with his eyes wide open. The next second, Spider-Man, who was sliding down the spider silk, knocked him down with a punch.

Instantly, the sound of bullets whizzed past his ears. Spider-Man was not panicked at all. He pulled the spider silk and swung behind the sofa. He rolled on the spot and came to the back of the bar in the hall. He opened the cabinet and took out the wine box in the cabinet.

With whiskey in one hand and vodka in the other, Spider-Man threw the wine in the wine box like a grenade, hitting the heads of the gangsters accurately. There was only a "bang bang bang bang bang", followed by screams.

The liquor bottle hit the hard skull and was broken, and the liquor inside spilled out. The sparks from the bullets rubbed against the metal objects ignited the alcohol, and suddenly there was fire everywhere in the hall, and it was a mess.

The gangsters were first hit by bottles and their heads were bleeding. When they recovered, they found that the expensive wine was spilled all over the floor, half of the sofa was burning, and the exquisite wallpaper and soft curtains were all stained with flames.

"Fire! Put out the fire! If the restaurant burns down, the boss will beat us to death!"

"Water, water is coming, get out of the way! Let me put out the fire!"

"Where did that damn kid go? I'm going to shoot him in the head!!!"

While the gangsters below were in chaos, Spider-Man stood on all fours on the ceiling of the hall, and like a real spider, he quietly crawled through the hall and came to the box.

The Iceberg Restaurant was closed during the day, and there was no one in the box, but Spider-Man turned his eyes and quickly climbed down along the wall. While the staff in the restaurant were dealing with the chaos outside, he quickly changed the name of the reserved guest outside the box.

The big box was changed to a small box, the exclusive box was changed to a mobile box, the menu and phone number were changed in a mess, and the black figure ran around in the corridor for a long time. The staff who accepted the reservation had worked in vain for the past few days.

So, about three hours later, when the Iceberg Restaurant really opened, the penguin man Copperbot, who was smoking a cigar, drinking and talking about business in the mayor's mansion, received countless angry calls.

"Oswald, what's wrong with you? How could there be someone in my exclusive box at the Iceberg Restaurant? Then what's the point of me spending money to book your exclusive box?!"

"Hey? Copperbot! I'm not saying anything bad about you, even if the big box is booked, you don't have to change it to the smallest box in the corner for me?! There are twelve of us! How can we fit in here!"

"Oswald, what the hell are you doing?! I'm in Italy talking about business now, and you call me to ask me when I'm going to your restaurant?"

"Copperbot, why didn't anyone call to confirm my reservation tonight? Is it necessary to Should I order food there? Your business is getting worse and worse!"

The Penguin, who received many bad reviews for no reason, hung up the phone in a daze, and then he immediately called his own restaurant and said angrily: "What the hell are you doing? Why are all the reservations messed up? Do you know how many connections this will ruin for me?"

The staff in the reservation department was also very aggrieved. He said on the phone: "We obviously did everything well, but the person in charge of making calls at the restaurant made all the wrong calls, and we don't know what happened."

"I'll go over now and throw those who dare to mess with me into the sea to feed the sharks!"

The Penguin immediately said goodbye to the mayor and drove to his Iceberg Restaurant as fast as he could. As soon as the car arrived, he was stunned.

There was only an iceberg left in the Iceberg Restaurant.

The gangsters guarding the Iceberg Restaurant and all the employees inside were tied up with spider silk and hung on the largest iceberg decoration, surrounded by the charred remains of the burned restaurant.

The Penguin was stunned. He looked up and looked at the figure standing on the top of the iceberg. He blurted out "Batman", but when he looked closely, he found that the other party had no cape.

Suddenly, a sharp siren sounded from behind the Penguin. The Penguin turned his head and saw Gordon, the chief of the Gotham Police Department, leading a group of police officers rushing over.

"Gordon, what is going on?" The Penguin roared angrily, and the fat on his face kept twitching because of excessive anger. He shouted loudly: "Are you going to arrest me? What crime have I committed?!"

In the past, when Gordon was asked this question by the Penguin, he could only remain silent in anger, because the Penguin did not commit any crime, or all the crimes he committed were covered up, and the police could not find any evidence at all.

Many people think that the existence of Batman in Gotham is unnecessary, but the fact is that if Batman did not take non-legal violent means, there would not even be a criminal in Gotham City, where officials protect each other, officials and businessmen protect each other, and gangs protect each other, because all procedures are legal.

But this time, Gordon walked up to Penguin and showed his ID, saying, "Sorry, Mr. Oswald, when you bought the building used as the Iceberg Restaurant, you signed the Gotham Ancient Building Protection Agreement."

"The agreement emphasizes that you have the responsibility to repair and maintain this building, and also the responsibility to keep it intact and continue to be passed down. So can you explain to me what happened to this fire that burned down the famous ancient building?"

"I..." Penguin, like a real penguin, looked at Gordon, turned his head to look at his burned Iceberg Restaurant, and then turned his head to look at Gordon, stuttering and panting for a long time.

"I am also a victim!" Penguin raised his voice and emphasized: "My restaurant was burned down! You still want to trouble me, how can this be justified?!"

"But just now, the Gotham Police Department received a report from an enthusiastic person that you did not arrange corresponding fire protection measures in Gotham's ancient buildings, and the fire protection facilities were not installed properly, which led to such serious consequences of the fire."

"You violated the Gotham Fire Safety Law and the New Jersey State Assembly's Historical Building and Famous Cultural Building Protection and Repair Law. Please cooperate with our investigation of this fire and come with us."

Penguin was taken to the police car in a daze. He never dreamed that he had done so many evil things in his life, and he was invincible in the Gotham underworld, white and gray roads. Even Batman did not send him to prison. The first time he was legally arrested was because he failed the fire inspection? !

To be honest, the fire protection measures of the Iceberg Restaurant were indeed not in place. According to the laws of New Jersey, it was considered as unqualified fire protection. But in such a dark city, who would care whether the fire protection of a restaurant opened by a super criminal gangster boss who was involved in both the black and white worlds was up to standard?

Batman didn't care either, so he stood in front of the screen in a daze and watched the Penguin being taken away by the police.

Sometimes stereotypes and inertial thinking are like this, and even the smartest people can't escape it.

When most people think of dealing with the Penguin, they will definitely try to collect evidence of his bribery of officials, or look for clues that he hired assassins to assassinate important people.

But Spider-Man doesn't, he really thinks that unqualified fire protection is a very serious matter.

So, after he found that the gang members didn't put out the fire with fire extinguishers, but connected the faucet from the kitchen, he decisively added a few more fires, and then called Gordon to report the unqualified fire protection measures of the Iceberg Restaurant in his real name.

It is the same in most countries. If it is an ordinary building, and the fire does not cause major casualties, unqualified firefighting measures are not a criminal charge, and at most compensation is required.

However, the building where the Iceberg Restaurant bought by Penguin is located is one of the first buildings built when Europeans came to this city. According to US law, it is a protected ancient building.

Then Penguin is legally responsible for the damage caused to this building by failing to fulfill his obligation to protect and repair it. Even if he will not be prosecuted and imprisoned, he must cooperate with the police investigation and is likely to pay a large sum of money to the federal government. The subsequent lease contract will also be affected.

Watching Penguin being taken away, Spider-Man turned over neatly and jumped down from the top of the iceberg, patted his hands, made a gesture of attention and said.

"Water and fire are ruthless, friends, whether you are a normal restaurant owner or the head of an illegal trading place, you must remember to add a few more fire extinguishers in your restaurant, and it is absolutely forbidden to block the fire escape!"

"By the way, the protection of ancient buildings is also one of the things we must learn. Let me tell you a secret. I haven't reported him for not maintaining the exterior walls of the ancient buildings on time. These weathering marks and peeling paint are the best evidence. If he is sued in the state court, he will have to pay a lot of money!" Batman slapped his forehead.
