Schiller was called back by the principal. Even if he could remotely control it, he actually needed others to manage the affairs of the psychiatric hospital. This task fell on Bruce.

Schiller was very relieved to throw all the work to Bruce. Bruce always felt that the professor had greater confidence in him than he did for himself.

He is just a freshman and is about to take over an atypical psychiatric hospital during his first internship. Although he has no real mental patient, he is more dangerous and troublesome than mental patients.

When Bruce questioned whether he was capable of the job, Schiller told him: "Sometimes, you don't know that you are a genius if you don't force yourself."

On the first day of work, Bruce encountered a big problem, and he couldn't tell who was who here.

Although he had memorized all the patient profiles as thick as a book, remembering all their names and room numbers and corresponding medical records, if this was in an ordinary hospital, it would be enough for an intern to achieve this level.

But unfortunately, there is no traditional mental patient here. Behind their names and diagnosis is an extremely complex social identity.

Who is the member of which gang? Which gang has a bad relationship with which gang? Who has been an enemy with whom? Who is a partner with whom? This information cannot be seen from the cases.

In the past, when listening to Schiller's phone call, Bruce probably heard some of his memory that was far beyond ordinary people, which turned this information into his gift package for novices. It doesn't matter if he couldn't understand everyone's social identity. He could reverse it from these existing clues.

In addition, Bruce is good at disguising, just like his disguise of this playboy's identity. In this hospital, he became a rich man with a bold personality, pampered life but full of yearning for gangster life.

The identity of the richest man in the world has provided him with a lot of gains. Generally, no gang member thinks that the richest man in the world will deliberately mess with him. Therefore, when Bruce showed interest in the story of the gang, the gang bosses just felt that this young rich man, just like the rich young man, had lived comfortably for too long and yearned for the exciting life in the gangster film.

Therefore, although they added a lot of their own fabrications when telling stories, Bruce was able to infer real and useful information about gangster social relations from these stories.

In a city where almost everyone has a relationship with gangsters, if you figure out the complex relationship between gangsters, you will almost understand all the contexts at the bottom of the city.

Bruce discovered that the law of survival of the city was much more complicated than he thought.

Starting from the small gang at the bottom, even a small gang with only a dozen people, they have their own rules of survival.

These little gangsters often take on the street patrol and thieves business, and they also have to pay protection fees to larger gangs for their help.

And even bigger ones, there are gangs with hundreds of people. These gangs are the mainstream of Gotham. Most of them have one or two industries, which may be stores or factories.

They provide protection for these industries, expel people who are in trouble, and remotely control small gangs under their hands to attract customers. When some conflicts of competing for customers arise, they will also have small-scale fire, but they basically hide behind the car and fire two shots with pistols, and few use large-scale firepower.

Further up, there are big gangs with hundreds of people. These gangs have reached another level. Each of them has at least one special industry to survive. Bruce discovered that these damn gangs have actually achieved industrial subdivision.

At the scale of hundreds of people, they often control at least one smuggling chain or have a complete industrial chain of planting, refining and sales, or control a majority of industries in the red light area, some of which have even achieved monopoly in certain industries in a certain region.

At this level, the profits they can make every day have reached a surprising level, and they have also become saturated.

Even more upwards, it can no longer be called a gang, but a family criminal group. The twelve gangster families that rule Gotham have no business that needs to be personally controlled except for controlling the core force in the hands of their people. What they have to do is remotely control these big gangs. Each gang family has dozens or hundreds of big gangs under their command, in charge of different businesses in different areas.

When Falcone established the twelve families, they used twelve different industries to give them their own emphasis.

Falcone, on the other hand, ranks high on the top of the pyramid and issues orders to all families and gangs.

In the collection and analysis of this information, Bruce found that Gotham's seemingly chaotic rule is actually a very solid pyramid, where wealth is extracted from the criminal industry layer by layer, and then redistributed and produced by the top.

In this cycle, Gotham has produced its own unique ecosystem and has created the largest gathering place for criminal industries in the United States.

At the same time, Bruce discovered that unlike what he imagined, from the perspective of sociology and economics, the city's industrial structure is actually damn healthy. Whether it is the distribution of industrial volumes at all levels or the so-called division of industrial clusters, it is actually better than most cities in the United States.

As the investigation deepened, Bruce began to doubt his original intention little by little, because he discovered that although Gotham was evil, it was actually not poor, and the people's living standards were not low. In addition to being very dangerous, the people here were quite rich.

During his travels to the United States, Bruce also studied the living standards of people in major American cities. He found that the living standards of most people in Gotham, a damn city, actually exceeded the passing line.

During the visit to the hospital, Bruce met an old man who was about to rush to the city, and people called him "Rifle".

The rifle was originally intended to rush to the city, but his daughter married Gotham and married a small gang leader. The little boss was maliciously framed, and his daughter almost suffered misfortune. When she received the rifle from her daughter's request for help, she rushed to Gotham with an old-fashioned rifle, and killed the gang members who wanted to frame his son-in-law in just a few shots.

The Lauren family, one of the twelve families, fell in love with the old man's bad temper and good skills. He is now the owner of a restaurant in the west side of the Lauren family.

Unlike other gang members, this old man was really hospitalized. He had long-term headaches, which seemed to be a complication of anxiety disorder. So his son-in-law found a connection and sent him in for treatment. Now, after two courses of treatment, he has improved much better.

“Everything is the same, everything is the same…”

The rifle was catching a cigar and leaning against the hospital bed, saying to Bruce: "How good do you think you can get to the city? Everyone lives in clean streets, every family has cars to drive, and the children are wearing school uniforms to go to school?"

He took another breath of cigarette, and the old man was even a bit like a southern noble, like a real rifle.

With the smoke, he slowly recalled: "When I met Mary, you know, what happened decades ago... At that time, I was just a poor boy, and I was also surfing in the city with bare hands..."

"There are gangs in the city, where are there? I work for them, but they are not as good as Gotham. I earn too little, sometimes I don't even have a cent in my pocket. I want to marry Mary, but I don't have money. How can we get married?"

"So, I started the killer business with a gun, which made my life improve a little. When my daughter was born, I had already done a good job. Although I had never read any books, I had to read them, and Gotham was still a lot stronger."

Bruce said: "Gotham is better than rushing to the city?"

If it weren't for the fact that the person who said this was an old man who seemed quite knowledgeable, Bruce would have thought he was a bad brain.

"I know, you guys with serious identities think that this city is terrible, with gangs everywhere, and everyone is a criminal. But for people like us, we will work the same hard work for anyone who gives more money, and we will follow whoever we give."

"In Gotham, as long as you are a full member of a gangster, you actually make a lot of money. If you can have a restaurant or a bar like me, it is no different from doing a big business."

"And here, the members of the gangster are actually safer. There is their own order here. If you don't want to declare war on a gangster, it's best not to touch his people, even if it's just a gangster at the bottom."

"So, those who join gangs to support their families are actually safer than other places, because gangs here have the final say. If you become a member of the gang, you will naturally be more useful to speak."

"I know, I know..." Lai Fuji put down his cigarette and said, "I know very well that killers will be punished. I will go to hell. There will be Satan's judgment waiting for me, but I don't care. Do you know why?"

Before Bruce could answer, Rifle said on his own: "I have to fill my stomach first, make more money, and live a better life."

"God didn't let me be born in a family that was as fed and fed as you. My father lost everything by gambling, and my mother ran away with others. My only property was an old gun that was not very smart. Then I think, what can I do if I do this?"

"After coming to Gotham, I realized that the people who built this city must be a genius. Don't you think these gangs are planned too well? It even reached a perfect balance that allows the city to operate for a long time, and people are living a good life."

"What's the name of my son-in-law?... Forget it, we all call him "a hand". His left hand was cut off by his father who was sucked by drugs when he was a child. However, he has been following the casino owner in their street since he was a child, and is responsible for throwing dices. Last year, he even bought a car and got married next month."

"The gang industry is very big, they lack people. As long as they have hands and feet to work, they will accept everything."

"If children don't go to school, they can learn a craft in the gang. They have some brains. They go to a restaurant to learn cooking with their boss, or go to a bar to learn bartending. The most powerful ones are those who can learn skills in casinos. They are all born clever ghosts."

"If you are flexible, you will be a pickpocket, and if you are good at your eyes, you will be on the watch. The least you can learn how to fight with others. There are so many gangsters, restaurants, bars, casinos, and car repair shops. You either need employees or security guards, and you can make a living anywhere."

"I want to see that the economy has been better in the past two years. I will save money and even buy a small independent house on the edge of the wealthy area in the south. Oh, you should live in the center there, after all, they say you are a rich man."

"My grandson is not as lucky as you, but it's enough. He's always better than me. At least he was born in a house that won't leak, and his mother takes good care of him. His father makes money outside. We're doing pretty good, right?"

Perhaps because the headache was much better, the old man seemed very energetic and kept mumbling some details of his life. At this time, Bruce's thoughts drifted far away.

A word from the rifle made him start thinking.

Gotham's criminal industry planning is perfect, it is almost impossible for it to be formed naturally. Gangs are born from chaos, and it is impossible for everyone to organize these industries spontaneously.

So how did this city become like this weird today?

Could it be that someone deliberately designed it like this?

So what is his purpose? He has the ability to plan the industrial chain so perfectly, so why do he have to build this place into a crime capital? Is it not possible to do something else?

Gotham is the biggest weirdest flower among all cities in the United States. It has been running smoothly in a bizarre and distorted posture for so long, and has become one of the most prosperous cities on the East Coast. It has reached the forefront of the GDP of the United States in an outrageous way. People's living standards not only pass the criteria, but also achieve excellent results.

His creator must be a genius. He wrote about order in disorder and created a new urban operation model almost out of thin air.

But in the same way, he must be a lunatic. He used his crazy creativity to create the world's largest capital of sin.

Bruce thought, perhaps here, there was only a line between genius and madman, Gotham was like a coin standing between them, and it seemed that it would fall down at any time, but until today, it still swayed on this line.

Everyone here, like this city, is one and two sides. He is both a genius with special talents and an unparalleled madman.

The genius is on the left, the madman is on the right, and everyone in Gotham is the same as the traffic rules here-
