Schiller heard from Copote the whole process of his ascent to the North End Mini-Boss.

I have to admit that Colbert is a genius, especially when it comes to scheming, he has a careful plan, clear thinking, strong execution, and good acting skills, always playing the right image at the right time, and then fooling everyone.

At Fish's time, he behaved like a native who was determined to defend his territory.

But after jumping to Kevin, he began to tell Fish about his inhumanity, claiming that the mob bosses' land grabbing was extremely righteous and saved the citizens of Hell from the dire situation.

Fish was furious when he learned of his betrayal, but Cobott provided the gang bosses with an excuse for righteous plunder, and the bosses had to protect him, and they had to treat him as a model, the higher the better, to show that under their rule, even a cigarette vendor who could not pick a shoulder or carry a cigarette could gain status and rights, to prove that Fish's rule over the living hell made people have no way out.

Cobot made himself a typical example for the gang bosses, not only giving himself a chance to get ahead, but also provoking Fish's relationship with the gang bosses to become more and more strained, almost tense.

"And then? What did you do again? Let Kevin start to be jealous of you?" Schiller asked Copote, who had not yet answered, and Schiller added, "In your last version of the story, Kevin was worried that you would take his place, but there was a flaw here...

"This group of gangster bosses with a single brain rarely fears a civilian, most of them feel that a gun in their hands is a threat, and you? The body is not strong enough, and there is no armed force, and Kevin, a traditional gangster who only looks at the size of a fist, will not be afraid of you for no reason. "

Copote opened his mouth, and instead of answering Schiller's question directly, he asked him, "Why do you know them so well compared to that?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you......" Schiller turned, picked up a notebook from the table behind him, and flipped through it, "Let me see ......."

"Of the gangster bosses currently living in hell, only one has no admission record, and the other five have all been patients here, including that Kevin, whom I have seen in the hallway...

"Isn't this a psychiatric hospital?" Copote said, with his eyes open.

"Then do you think they aren't mentally ill?"

Copote took a breath, he found himself speechless, what Schiller said makes a lot of sense, in Gotham, you don't have a bit of mental illness, and you still want to be a gang boss?" Well, I go on.....

"From the very beginning, my goal was to accumulate capital, because even if I got rid of my godfather's control, I couldn't go back to the streets, right? I can't build a gang from scratch, so I can only steal a ready-made .......

"I started to win hearts and minds in Kevin's gang, using my computing power, I always charged more water bills than anywhere else, but it was unnoticeable, I used some small profits to buy people at the bottom, get convenience, make more money, and then buy a lot of middle and high level people with a bigger price........

"I didn't want to do it so early, but there was a fool who didn't do anything well, and when he reported to Kevin, he said that he had leaked his mouth and let him know that I had withheld a lot of extra water bills."

"Like you said, these gang bosses don't care about people who don't have guns, but they care about money."

"Knowing that I was greedy for water, Kevin was very angry, he threatened to kill me, and it was a few high-level executives who I had bribed to turn around, so that he didn't break out immediately.

"But I knew I had to do it early, and Kevin wasn't going to put up with me for long.

"Looks like you're not experienced enough." Schiller concluded: "In Gotham, don't expect anyone else, they can't do anything, they just cause trouble. "

"I understand that now." Cobot snorted coldly.

"But even then, you don't need to go back to Fish, can't you kill Kevin yourself? What you should have is opportunity. "

"But that doesn't solve the problem."

Copote's tone became a little helpless, and he said, "It's a mud puddle there, and once I kill Kevin and take the position myself, such a big change of leader will make the gang very unstable." "

"There are also a few vicious wolves around, and if something happens within the gang, they will rush up and carve up the gang's territory."

"I can kill one Kevin with my wits, but I can't kill everyone, and if I want to be in power and stabilize the gang and deter them, I have to use external forces.

"So you went back to Fish?" Yes, Fish could communicate at that time, she wasn't that crazy, I confessed to her, and then offered to help her with what she deserved. '

"At this point, Fish was still grumpy, but her mind was still clear, and she was impressed by the possible benefits, so we began to work together."

In this scene, the first light comes from a mirror, in which Copote puts on a new suit and tie, becoming more like the gang bosses in Gotham.

He wandered among the Muni gang and other gangsters, one second he was still gushing all kinds of suggestions and plans to Fish, and the next second, he was talking to Kevin.

In the sky above the living hell, the penguin man's still somewhat immature face appeared, he stretched out his hand, and several puppets hung on his fingers with thin threads, and the moving fingers of his soul made the puppets dance in this strange and strange building, like a terrifying party.

"After that, I made an excuse to lure Kevin out of Living Hell, and Fish killed him in an alley not far from Living Hell." Copote's voice rang out again.

"As we agreed, Fish made a fuss and dragged the other mob bosses down, and I took advantage of the gap to take over Kevin's territory."

"And after that?" Schiller pushed his glasses and said to Copote, "Kevin is dead, you took over the territory, everything is going well....

Copote shook his head and said, "Not at all. "I can't stand the recoil of any high-powered firearms, I can only use a pistol, I don't have any expertise in fighting, I can't eat by force.

“

"But the gangsters in Gotham are supposed to eat by force, especially these low-level gangsters, too many people disagree with my status, I have to put up with Fish, I need to use her to get rid of those thorns."

"But she's getting crazier, she's crazy, you know?" Colbert looked at Schiller and said, "This woman has completely lost her mind and has become a monster who can only abuse and beat people!"

"And you just put up with her abuse?"

"Of course not," Copote's facial muscles trembled a little, which made his expression look fierce, and he said, "She's better if she's crazy, and she has no brains, so she can only be manipulated by me." "

"She kept beating me, but it didn't matter, when he went crazy, he would fall into the fear that everyone wanted to kill her, and only I could communicate with her."

"I can let her kill anyone, just quietly tell her that the person betrayed her." Colbert let out a barrage of snickers.

In the center of the stage, Fish sits on a crate, her eyes bloodshot and her lips chapped, like a stiff puppet.

Copote's face was full of wounds, but he didn't have the slightest expression of fear, but sneered close to Fish's ear, saying name after name, Fish's arm began to tremble, this crazy woman had been driven crazy by the delusion of murder in her head, and she vowed to kill everyone who betrayed her.

The gunshots came one after another, and one after another black shadows fell at Copote's feet, blood flowing to the soles of his feet, and he reached out to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, and raised his head, his eyes full of crazy pride.

"But then why did you change your strategy?" I'm not lying. Colbert looked Schiller in the eye and said, "Maroney came to me, even though I didn't know who he was at the time. "

"He told me that he had already made a mortal enmity with the Falcone family because he had attacked several godfather estates, and that he didn't want to watch the Falcone family transform Gotham, so he wanted to sabotage the first step of the reform."

"He knew that I was in control of the water system in the North Side, so he approached me and wanted me to poison the water of the Living Hell."

Copote's tone began to grow colder: "By then, Fish had already started to go berserk, and she was almost useless. "

"Together, we devised a plan to kill Fish and frame Falcone Jr."

"It's not logical." Schiller asked Colbert, "Your goal is not to offend the Godfather, but don't tell me that you think you can defeat the Godfather and be free." "

"Of course not, how could I be so stupid.

"Maroni?" Colbert let out a cold snort from his nose, and he continued, "Did he think I would really work with him?" Of course not, I could see that he was a shameless hyena. "

"We have a plan, but I have my own set of plans."

"I suppose the next thing is to talk about you and your mother, right?

“

"That's right."

The curtain opens again, and with Copote's narration, the perspective returns to the old house of the Copote.

The skinny Copote was panting and slumped in the middle of the living room, facing the mess.

Mrs. Copote, on the other hand, was holding a chair and slamming it to the ground frantically, muttering incoherently.

Cobot took the rope and tried to tie up his mother, who had suddenly become ill, but Mrs. Cobott pushed him to the ground, and Colbert slammed the table, and he let out a scream, and then Mrs. Cobott picked up the chair and gave him his right arm.

Cobott rolled around on the floor and knocked over the cabinet again, scattering items to the floor.

But he struggled to his feet, half-knelt in place and thought for a while, then staggered into the room, took out the sleeping pills, bypassed Mrs. Copote, who was smashing in place, walked to the coffee table in the living room, threw the medicine into the water, and then hid in the corner and waited.

It had been about a whole night before Mrs. Copote finally recovered from that euphoria, and the subsidence of the excitement gave rise to exhaustion and hunger, and she followed her instinct to find water to drink, and drank the large jug of water with sleeping pills.

After a few dozen more minutes, until the drug took effect and Mrs. Copote collapsed on the couch and fell asleep, Cobott walked up and dragged her away from the couch.

Schiller interrupted Copote's remarks by covering his forehead, saying, "Obviously, your mother is just as catatonic schizophrenic as you are...... Forget it, I can't expect you to have any knowledge of this either. "

"All I can say is that you are doing nothing, and even if you don't use sleeping pills, the patient will fall asleep from exhaustion after the hyperactivity has passed."

Copote, however, suddenly became a little nervous, and struggled to lift his upper body up, leaned against the pillow, made eye level with Schiller, and asked him, "Can this disease really be cured?"

‘

"I said yes." Schiller, after a pause, added, "However, it is against you, because you are younger, if it is your mother......"

He shook his head, and continued, "A complete cure is unlikely, and it can only ensure a normal life most of the time, and if it happens, you still have to be hospitalized." "

Copote, however, breathed a sigh of relief, and before Schiller could continue to ask, he said, "As you might expect, it wasn't really a kidnapping scene, or rather, I kidnapped my mother myself." "

"It's part of my plan, I'm going to send my mom away myself and blame Maroni."

"I saved up a lot of money and rented a new apartment, and I didn't need to take anything with me from the old house, but my mother just wouldn't leave....."

"We had an argument and she got more and more agitated and then she started going crazy, I couldn't help it...."

"I don't know what's wrong with her, and although she was occasionally delirious, she wasn't as serious as this one," said Copote. "

"She was completely insane, uncontrollable, and even picked up a fruit knife and stabbed herself, I was afraid that she would hurt herself, so I could only let her fall asleep and then forcibly take her into a new apartment."

"Why don't you get to the hospital?"

I don't have time. "I had been arguing with my mother all day, and she had been mad all night, and I had spent that time setting up the scene. "

When the time I agreed with Maroni came, I had to carry out the plan, and I didn't have time to clean up my house, and I didn't have time to deal with my arm, so I had to hurry to ........."

"Well, then why the hell are you making up a lie about Marone's kidnapping of your mother?"

"That's exactly what I planned, I'm not really going to work with that hyena, don't forget what I'm going to end up with, I'm going to be free.

"So what exactly is your plan?"

Suddenly, Copote's words changed and he said, "Just a few days ago, I found out that there is a strange man in action in the living hell, of course, I have heard his name before, his name is Batman.....
