Chapter 149: Party and Umbrella (1)

Victor stood in front of the window of the old house in Copote, tugged at the window vigorously, and then looked up, and found that there was still a lock on the window of the dilapidated old house, Schiller took out a pistol and handed it to Victor, who looked at him and said, "You still have a gun?" ”

Schiller also looked at him and said, "Why are you surprised that I have a gun?" It's Gotham. ”

Victor was also surprised and said, "But why did you bring a gun to me?" Won't you shoot? ”

"My marksmanship is not accurate, so you can only come."

Victor took the gun, and then muttered, "Obviously we are both outsiders, why do you seem to be born and raised here?" ”

He raised his gun and aimed at the old lock, and with a "bang" shot, the lock sparked and was knocked out, and Victor pushed open the window and rolled in, Schiller followed him.

After entering, Victor pointed to the ground and said, "Scout Master, it's time for you to play." ”

Schiller shook his head and said, "Isn't it already obvious? Mrs. Copot has been kidnapped. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, his eyes fell on a corner of the living room, where there was a very old shoe cabinet, with a pair of rain boots on top of it next to the door, and several other pairs of ordinary leather shoes, but next to this shoe cabinet was an umbrella.

Schiller walked over to the umbrella, picked up the handle of the umbrella and looked at it, then gradually narrowed his eyes, and Victor also walked over, he looked at the umbrella, and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with this umbrella? ”

Schiller pursed his lips, he didn't answer, just turned the umbrella upside down, looked at the tip of the umbrella, there was a small circle on the tip of the umbrella, the pattern was very inconspicuous, a bit like someone's signature, Schiller held the tip of the umbrella, and then tapped on the ground with the handle of the umbrella.

Victor looked left and right and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"No...... It's nothing. Schiller picked up the umbrella, and when he returned to the center of the drawing-room, he first walked to the couch and said, "It looks like Mrs. Copote was dragged from here." ”

Then he came to the left of the coffee table, which was made of glass and looked exquisite, reflecting some of their family's background.

There was a tea set on the glass coffee table, Schiller picked it up and sniffed it, and Victor also walked over, he crossed his hands on his waist, leaned over to look at the tea set, and said, "Although I don't have any detective experience, I can guess that someone should have drugged it, right?" ”

"As expected, it should be." Schiller fetched a stack of newspapers from the side, wrapped the teacup, handed it to Victor, and told him to take it back for testing, and then he crouched down and looked under the couch.

The wooden leg on the left side of the sofa left a scratch of about 20 centimeters on the ground, and it is clear that the sofa has been dragged by someone.

He crouched on the floor again and looked at the living room, where there were messy and scattered items on the floor, and it looked like the cabinet had been hit and the contents on it had fallen.

The table next to it was knocked aside, and a chair toppled over on the floor, with a broken leg, and it looked like someone had fought here.

Schiller sighed, and said, "I don't think we need to look any further, let's go back first, whoever kidnaps Mrs. Copote is, we have to let the police find it." ”

On the other side, Batman, who went to investigate the foreign gangster bosses in the living hell, also had a harvest, a gangster in a suit collapsed to the ground, he looked at Batman in front of him with fear, and then said in a trembling voice: "Don't kill me, don't ...... I'll tell you everything I know! ”

"In the probable...... About a few weeks ago, ah, no! More than a week to about two weeks! One of the 7 bosses here died, and we all called him Kevin, the Black Hand, and he was also the leader of the North Side, the biggest ...... in the territory."

"Does this black hand Kevin have anything to do with Fish?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, in fact, Kevin is a negotiator, his gang lost a lot of people in a fire before he came to live in hell, he doesn't want to lose more manpower, so he is willing to sit down with the boss of the Mooney gang and talk......"

"But before they could negotiate, he died."

"How did he die?" Batman asked.

"This ...... I don't know, I just heard that he died outside of a living hell, and you might have to ask the police what happened......"

Then Batman asked, "What happened to the guy named Kevin when he died?" ”

"How's it going?" The little leader was stunned by his question, and instinctively replied, "What else?" He died, and someone else took his place......"

Batman frowned, and he asked, "Who is the one who takes his place?" ”

This little boss thought hard and said, "I can't remember his name, anyway, that guy seems to be very smart, it seems that he turned out to be the little boss who manages the tap water, I heard that he said that he can make money with everyone, so he took Kevin's place......"

Batman's brow furrowed even deeper, and then he asked a few more questions, but the little boss was not from the Black Hand Johnny gang, and he didn't know the specific details, and found that he really couldn't ask anything, so Batman knocked him unconscious.

Speaking of the water system, Batman thought of Fish's crazy move before.

Valley

Fish somehow found the core system of the living hell water purifier, but because Batman patrols here more diligently, Fish just came up with this idea, and when he was looking for someone to investigate there sneakily, he was discovered by Batman, Batman knocked the investigator unconscious, and then added a security system to the water purifier to stop her.

At the time, Batman didn't think about it, but now that he thinks about it, it doesn't really look like a gang boss who hasn't read a book can come up with a plan, and most of the living hellish residents don't even know that there is a purifier.

Even if he could figure it out, how did Fish put it into action? How does she know where the heart of the water purifier is?

Batman had seen Fish's file with Gordon before, and he had also spied on Fish for a while, and he was very sure that this woman was semi-literate, the kind of person who could misspell long words, and he didn't think that such a person had the ability to follow those complicated pipes and find the core of the most important purification equipment.

In fact, there aren't many people in the whole living hell who have the ability to do this, and Batman surmises that there must be someone who has been giving Fish advice.

The death of Kevin, the black hand, Fish's plan to destroy the water purifier, and the small boss who ascended to the throne after Kevin's death......

Several things quickly became a thread in Batman's mind.

One of the most critical coincidences is that Fish came up with a plan that could not have been devised by herself to destroy the water purifier, and the small boss who came to power after Kevin's death happened to be the person in charge of the water management system in the North District, which is not like a simple coincidence, after all, in the entire living hell, there are really too few people who know about the water source system, and the possibility of these two identities overlapping is very high.

In Batman's reasoning, this little boss is either Fish's man in the first place, or he has betrayed his boss and defected to Fish.

He helps Fish with advice, and Fish helps him take out his immediate boss so that he can have a better day, and maybe use the knowledge of this little boss to fight the rest of the mob bosses.

Were they once in a partnership? Could Fish's death have anything to do with this man? Batman fell into thinking again, but he always felt that there seemed to be other hidden secrets in these things, far from being so simple.

On the fourth floor of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, Gordon and Victor stood outside the door of the ward, and Gordon said with some pity: "This kid is really unlucky, he has experienced a murder, and he suddenly has a difficult mental illness, and as a result, his relatives have been kidnapped again, even in Gotham, such unlucky people are rare."

Victor also sighed and said: "Actually, he is a very smart boy and learns things quickly, but I found that Gotham is like this......" He shrugged and said: "A gifted person will always get into all kinds of troubles and go down the wrong path." ”

"I think Professor Rodriguez can cure him, as he often talks about, he's not a quack."

Victor looked into the window of the door, and following his gaze, Schiller went in a circle, from one side of the bed to the other, while Colbert lay on the bed, he was not struggling, he looked numb, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

"How did you sleep last night? Mr. Copote, do you still feel like your muscles are out of control? Schiller stood by the bed in a white lab coat, holding a medical notebook, and asked as he wrote.

Cobot didn't answer at all, like a stiff, pale puppet, lying on the bed in an eerie position, unresponsive to the sounds of the outside world.

"Looks like you're not doing well." Schiller stood in place and said: "Most patients will have some dull reaction after taking an overdose of diazepam drugs, but I don't think you are one of them, you should be very conscious now, and the onset period has passed." ”

"You don't want to answer me, why is that? Because some of your plans aren't going well? ”

Cobot suddenly turned his head and stared at Schiller with those eyes that were deeply embedded in his sockets, which were a little terrible, numb and cold, but Schiller was unmoved.

"It's a pity that I can't use any magical hypnosis to make you say everything like in the movie, whether it is in psychology or psychiatric treatment, if the patient himself is unwilling to cooperate, then hypnosis cannot have any effect."

"In the same way, if you don't cooperate with the treatment, then no amount of medicine is useless, I am a doctor, not God, and if you refuse to answer all questions, God will not cure you."

Copote's head moved again, and a hoarse voice like sawing wood spilled out between his throats, and he said, "Heal...... Can it be cured? ”

Schiller put down the medical notebook, looked at him a little strangely, and said, "If it hadn't been cured, you would have been in the crematorium by now." ”

Copote's mouth gradually opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and Schiller, as if remembering something, said, "Oh, I forgot, you're not even a college student." ”

He covered his forehead and said a little helplessly: "I know that many people who do not have enough education level call mental illness madness, a terminal disease that can never be cured, but in fact it is not. ”

"A lot of people don't understand mental illness, so they talk about it and are afraid of it, especially this hereditary mental disorder, which is extremely agitated and aggressive, and is often seen as a terrible madness."

"But in fact, this is just a symptom of schizophrenia, according to the previous diagnosis, you should belong to the catatonic schizophrenia, often intermittent onset, with stupor, sometimes into a sudden state of euphoria, the behavior becomes violent, but after about a few hours, it can be relieved on its own......"

Schiller patiently explained to Copote: "This type of schizophrenia has a good prognosis, not only can it be relieved on its own, but the effect of treatment is also very good, and the difficulty is generally in the alleviation of hyperactive behavior, but you have also seen that with tranquilizers, there are good effects......"

Cobot kept staring at Schiller with his eyes, Schiller's expression did not change, he was telling the truth.

In fact, this is not an incurable disease, even in the general category of schizophrenia, it is relatively common, so his tone has been very calm, but it seems to give Copote some vitality, he adjusted his neck back, tried to adjust his position on the bed, and asked, "...... Can be cured... Is that right? ”

Schiller nodded and said, "Although there is not necessarily a guarantee of recovery, there is nothing wrong with living a normal life most of the time." ”
