That night, Spider-Man went into the electronic information room of the Gotham City Public Library and borrowed the computer there to find information about the chemical plant where the Joker worked.
This chemical plant is called ACE Chemical Plant and is affiliated with the Wayne Group. While inquiring about Wayne Group information, Spider-Man discovered that it was Bruce Wayne, the current leader of the Wayne Group, who was funding Batman's vigilante operations.
Spider-Man instinctively felt that something was wrong, but since this was not the focus of his investigation, he let it go and did not continue the investigation.
Spider-Man just collected all the tidbits about Bruce Wayne's attendance at various events on the Internet, and then inferred Bruce Wayne's approximate work and rest time and recent schedule.
Finding a time when Bruce Wayne had just returned to the office after an important meeting to confirm the report, Spider-Man came directly to Bruce Wayne's office.
"Hi, man, I'm Spider-Man and I have some questions I want to talk to you about. Can I take five minutes of your time?"
Bruce never dreamed that he would meet Spider-Man here who was out of surveillance after leaving the surveillance room for a while to deal with business matters.
But he still pretended to be a wealthy businessman who was panicked because a strange person broke into his office.
"Who are you? What are you going to do? I'm warning you to get out of here quickly, or I will call the police!"
"I'm afraid it's difficult for you to do this, sir. I've cut off all the phone lines within a 2-kilometer radius, but I'm sure it's for your own good, because the topic I'm going to talk to you about next must not be used by the police. Listen, otherwise it may have a very bad impact on your group.
Bruce stared at Spider-Man, and Spider-Man took two steps closer. This was obviously beyond the acceptable social distance for Gothamites, so Bruce took two steps back.
"You shouldn't avoid me, sir. The advice I want to give you is really for the good of your group." Spider-Man took two more steps forward and explained sincerely.
"I know that you are the president of a large group and have so many things to do every day that you definitely don't have time to care about some of the minutiae. So it's not your fault that this kind of mistake occurs, but I hope you can correct it in time before it brings any impact to your group. Before there is any real reputational damage.”
"What are you going to say?" Bruce asked pretending to be impatient.
"The ace chemical plant owned by Wayne Group has been continuously discharging untested sewage into the sea. Do you know about this? Mr. Bruce Wayne."
"I..." Bruce made a shocked expression, but Batman had actually frowned. He remembered that he had equipped every chemical industrial park under Wayne Group with the most complete sewage purification system.
Batman is also a human being. He only has twenty-four hours in a day, so he can't go to the drains of every chemical plant and check whether their emissions are up to standard. Even if he could, anything could go wrong in Gotham. In order to promote marine environmental protection, Bao Buqi created a villain who was polluted by chemicals, and his chemical plants had to leak.
"The fact is that ACE Chemical Plant has been continuously discharging illegal sewage into the ocean. This is the photo I took before." Spider-Man flashed the paper to Bruce, then pointed to a person on it and said: " I only saw the security guard handing over to a worker, and I’m not sure whether it was the security guard’s own idea or someone else instigating him.”
"But I don't think this was your intention, Mr. Bruce Wayne." Spider-Man took another step forward, looked at Bruce very sincerely and said, "Because once this matter is exposed by the media, what will happen to the Wayne Group The damage to your reputation is definitely greater than the cost of buying several sewage purifiers, right?"
As soon as Bruce opened his mouth to say something, Spider-Man immediately said: "Of course this matter is very hidden, and no one may find it, but it happened that I discovered it and took photos. Now these photos are stored in a mysterious mailbox by me. , and pressed the timer to send."
"The attachments were copied to all the major newspapers I could find, as well as the mailboxes of well-known news media people, critical commentators, and moderators of various well-known websites. You should be able to imagine that after these conclusive evidences were released, Wei Wei How much damage will be done to the reputation of Wayne Group? I’m afraid you can’t save it even if you double the charity funds of Wayne Group next year.”
Bruce took a breath, and he immediately rushed forward and took Spider-Man's hand in an extremely enthusiastic manner, and then said to him in the tone of a shrewd businessman: "You must tell me carefully about this." The thing is, you know, I have too much to manage and I can’t possibly keep an eye on the emissions from a small chemical plant.”
"But I didn't expect the people below would dare to be so bold. If you don't come and remind me, it will be really troublesome if someone exposes you one day. Come here and tell me in detail what you saw that day. I am now Make arrangements for rectification immediately.”
About two hours later, Spider-Man knocked on the clown's door. After the clown opened the door, Spider-Man made an apologetic gesture and said, "I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid you won't be able to carry the sewage tonight. Because the rich man Bruce Wayne rushed to the factories that failed to discharge sewage resolutely and fired all his subordinates on the spot who were discharging sewage in violation of regulations."
"I proposed to him that the conditions of other chemical plants owned by him should be checked regularly, and I would supervise at any time. He also agreed, so in the future you may not see chemical plants owned by Wayne Group discharging pollutants at will."
The clown slammed the door.
At noon that day, the clown came to help in the kitchen of a restaurant. It happened that this restaurant also had investment from Wayne Group, and the kitchen hygiene was not up to standard and could even be said to be very dirty.
Spider-Man, who was following him, took a bunch of photos, and then appeared in Bruce Wayne's office an hour later. Then there was another round of emergency investigations, and he fired about dozens of restaurant chain employees. After the appointment of the kitchen supervisor, the hygiene conditions of Wayne Group's food companies and catering industry have taken on a new look.
As evening approached, the clown went to park his car near a luxury mansion. There happened to be a business banquet hosted by the Wayne family. All kinds of luxury cars came and went, and there was endless food and wine. However, the clown was regarded as a parking boy and was A certain rich man's assistant arrogantly insulted him and almost got beaten.
As a result, that night, Spider-Man found the rich man's home and fully explained to him the importance of connections in the business world, and that if he hired an assistant who could offend people anytime and anywhere, it would most likely destroy many of his connections.
After all, this rich man is a businessman, making the most money in the world. When he asked his other subordinates, he found that there were quite a few such situations, and he fired the assistant on the spot.
Over the next day and night, the Joker took Spider-Man to see the arrears of wages at Wayne's rubber tire factory, drug smuggling in the logistics and transportation industry, Wayne Group shareholders bribing city officials and government-business collusion, and the person in charge of its largest supermarket chain. Infidelity in marriage, desertion of wife and children, chaos in private life, etc. are dark.
Spider-Man responded by asking Bruce Wayne to thoroughly investigate the wage arrears of the entire group, strictly standardize logistics management and establish an inspection system to prevent drug contamination, report the illegal and criminal behavior of bribers and bribe takers and send them to prison, and help the ex-wife of a certain person in charge. Sue her ex-husband to recover reasonable child support.
Then the Joker discovered that this plan could no longer go ahead. If it continued like this, Wayne Group would really prosper.
The Joker's original intention is actually to let Spider-Man discover that the Wayne Group actually hides an unknown darkness. This group of people who have the greatest capital and power are the culprits of the city's corruption.
The Joker just wants to make Robin feel that the super criminals in Gotham City actually have compelling reasons. They are not allowed to commit crimes because the society is too bad, and the reason why society is so bad is because of the relationship between Wayne Group and Batman. exist.
In this way, the positions of good and evil will be reversed. Batman, who used to have a tall image in the minds of Robins, and the Wayne Group who funded him will become bad guys who control and oppress the city, and this group of super criminals will become Good people who resist the oppression of capital.
It may sound absurd, but young people who are full of justice are the most susceptible to this. They will feel that they have discovered the unknown dark side of society, and then feel very angry that they should stand with the oppressed and vulnerable groups. Together, we take extreme measures to fight against these darkness.
And the more rationally they persuade them not to be so extreme and not to look at the problem one-sidedly, the more they feel that this is moderates persuading them to take appeasement measures and a sign of compromise with darkness, so the more they have to resist in an extreme way, and finally put themselves The dead end of terrorism.
If it were in the past, those Robins would have rushed into the Batcave angrily to question Batman, and due to the reasons mentioned before, Batman would not explain these dark real-life problems to them, he would only remain silent.
And once Batman says to the Robins, "You may have been guided and bewitched by the villain," the Robins will definitely explode like a bomb, thinking that Batman underestimated them, or that Batman wants to cover up the truth. It's even possible to think that Batman is also a dark accomplice.
In this way, there will be antagonism between Batman and Robin, and it is the kind of irreconcilable antagonism that is very close to class conflict, but in fact all this is just a carefully laid trap, the purpose is to alienate Batman and Robin.
Once Robin chooses to stand on the opposite side of Batman and starts to rise up on behalf of the so-called people at the bottom, then Gotham will definitely fall into extreme chaos. Under the excitement of the people, armed riots, fishing in troubled waters, and taking advantage of the situation will inevitably be inevitable. If you don't care, I'm afraid, Even the semblance of order can no longer be maintained.
At that time, even if Batman is reluctant to give up, he can only drive his children out of the city, which is like cutting out a piece of flesh from his heart again, causing him to be swallowed up by those negative emotions again. Pulled deeper into the darkness.
This is how Gotham swallows Batman step by step.
And this piece of flesh that should have been cut out according to the original plan, that is, Spider-Man, is currently squatting in front of the clown's house, knocking on the door, and shouting inside.
"Mr. Clown, if you have an opinion against Wayne Group, then you should boldly raise it and let him change it!"
"If you are not the first to stand up and make an opinion, then the mistake will never be corrected. Don't doubt the correctness of your doubts just because everyone else does it."
"Nothing wrong in this world will become right if it lasts long enough. Right is right and wrong is wrong. We should praise the right as much as possible, and then criticize the wrong, and try our best to keep working hard until until the error is corrected.”
"No matter how many difficulties there are during this period, and how many people question you, you can't give up. Even if I only succeed in one path after ten years of hard work, I have corrected a mistake in the world. Even if I fail to succeed in any of the paths, I also set a good example for those who come after me.”
"Even if there are endless mistakes in this world, correcting one mistake can save a person."
"Look, haven't I saved you from the suffering of waste water pollution, substandard sanitation conditions, and discrimination?"
