Chapter 156: Party and Umbrella (8)
Gordon's head was already exploding, and Colbert was in a state of doubt.
He didn't have any less doubts than Gordon at this point, because he was behind the whole thing.
Looking at his plan from Colbert's point of view, he wants to break away from the godfather and accumulate a little capital for himself, to put it bluntly, to make some money, to pave the way for a future comeback.
So he jumped back and forth between Fish and Kevin, and finally in order to completely get rid of all the people who wanted to control him, he first killed Kevin with the help of Fish, and then killed Fish with the help of Maroni, and finally wanted to use the accusation against Maroney to exonerate the godfather's son and get out smoothly.
The previous links were all going well, and now it has reached the final step, but Colbert didn't expect that Evans would actually plead guilty??
So how will his last step be executed? In fact, when it comes to this, Copote himself knows that he can actually skip the last step of the plan.
Because he is really mentally ill, not pretending, even if he doesn't do the last thing for the godfather, judging from his condition, the godfather should not embarrass a minor with schizophrenia.
Even if the godfather knew that Copote was sick, he might have given him a sum of money.
The reason why the godfather is the godfather is this reason, he does not have the ruthless behavior of killing people after using others in many film and television dramas, on the contrary, many gangsters who retired from the Falcone family have received good pension treatment, treatment for those who are sick, buying a house for vacation if they are not sick, washing their hands in a golden basin, and enjoying their old age in peace.
Cobot knew that in this case, the godfather would no longer embarrass him, and he no longer had to go to great lengths to pretend to be sick, worrying all day about where the godfather's eyes would be, because he was indeed mentally ill, and he had been diagnosed by the attending doctor of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital.
But Cobot couldn't accept that his perfect plan had failed, and that his mother's illness and his illness had already made his plan go awry, leaving him feeling like he was stuck in his throat and uncomfortable.
It's like throwing a rat poop into a pot full of perfect soup for a person who has a criminal pursuit.
However, Cobot can barely accept it, after all, there is such a thing as birth, old age, sickness and death. No one can control it, and he and his mother are both ill at this time, which can only be said to be bad luck. However, Evans's confession is obviously something else, not an accident, and Copote can't tolerate that there is another person behind his perfect plan.
Copote couldn't help but wonder, could he really be looking at the wrong person? Is Falcone Jr. actually the real mastermind behind it?
Just as Cobot was wondering, Schiller's voice pulled him back, and Schiller stared at Cobot and said, "You haven't answered my question yet, where did this umbrella come from?"
Gordon and Cobot looked at Schiller together, and Cobot said what was on Gordon's mind: "Is this the time to talk about this?" What's so important about that?"
Gordon went on to say, "My good professor! Don't bother with your broken umbrella!"
"Things are serious right now! The heir of the Falcone family actually came to the police station and confessed that he had committed murder:
Gordon pointed his hand out of the door and said, "Just now, our new police chief had high blood pressure and should be in the ambulance by now." "
"I just got 15 calls in a row, and the only two justices in our city said they had made their vacation plans two months ago, bought plane tickets and left Gotham overnight.........
"Of the nine civil servants of the Gotham court, five had gastroenteritis, three had a high fever, and one suddenly lost his voice and went to the hospital overnight to recuperate, and even three of the five sweepers broke their legs and couldn't come to work tomorrow....
"In just an hour, Gotham's judicial system was successfully paralyzed."
After saying that, Gordon himself was laughed at angrily, and he said, "I don't know how many times they rehearsed it, and in this kind of emergency, they can all fall like dominoes in just an hour, in order from top to bottom, faster than running away from a fucking courthouse.......
"What's even more outrageous is that we've already received announcements of 12 law firms temporarily closing, and now, you can't find a lawyer in Gotham who can get through on the phone..?
Schiller didn't listen to his complaints, but picked up the umbrella and poked Copote's injured arm, who screamed out in pain.
He looked up at Schiller, then looked down at his arm, which was still tied to the armrest, and said as if resigned, "Okay, but I'll have to figure out what happened to Evans first, and I can't allow it.......
At this moment, there was a noise from the balcony of the psychiatric hospital, and Batman walked in with a cold air and the smell of blood, Schiller turned his head to look at him, and Batman who walked in was also stunned, he didn't expect there to be so many people here.
Schiller looked him up and down and said, "Gotham's detective is here, let's hear what he has to say."
Gordon sniffed and said to Batman, "What are you doing?" Why do you smell blood?"
"It doesn't matter." Batman's voice was still cold.
"Maroney told me that Evans Falcone instructed him to kill Fish."
"You're a step too late." Gordon crossed his waist and said, "Evans has confessed his sins. "
Before Batman could continue to ask Gordon for details, Schiller knocked on the metal railing at the foot of the hospital bed with his umbrella, making a big noise, and he raised his voice and said, "I hope you can figure it out, this is my office, let me talk first."
Schiller put the umbrella up and said, "Answer my question, and then get out of here and find a separate place for your detective conference." "
"Oh God! It's raining in Gotham every day, my umbrella is broken, and the umbrella maker who can fix it is dead, how can you be so indifferent and not have a little compassion?"
The rest of the people looked at him in silence, and Schiller paused, and said helplessly, "Well, if you have to solve your problem before you can answer my question, then you don't need to ask Evans.........
He put down the umbrella, tapped the tiles on the floor with the tip of the umbrella, and said, "I suggested that he do this."
Gordon and Colbert's eyes widened at the same time, and Schiller put down his umbrella, sat down behind his desk, and said, "Looks like you're going to hear my version of the story again from the beginning." "
Batman stood in a corner of the room with his arms crossed, his expression as if to say, "I expected that." Schiller took a sip of water, and then began his own narration.
"About a month ago, Evans came to Gotham University's psychiatric clinic to confide in his teacher."
"He had some conflicts with his father, and the first half of the story sounded like a teenager's troubles, but the second half was not so pleasant, because his father was still the godfather of Gotham."
"We all know that originally, the old godfather was already planning to retire, and he handed over a large piece of property in the West End to his son and let him play, although Evans didn't play very well, but the old godfather was not in a hurry, after all, he was still young." "
"But then, the reform of Gotham began." "Obviously, the old godfather wanted to retire, not because he was really old, but because he had reached the top, and even if he worked hard, nothing would change."
"However, the reform of Gotham has brought him new hope and made him see the possibility of going to the next level, so do you think he will still have the mentality of retiring early at this time?"
Gordon shook his head and said, "I've seen the old godfather recently, and although he has always been so energetic, I can feel that his state is a little different. "
"Indeed, Falcone has ruled Gotham for forty years, and he wants to end his reign and give the place to the next generation, not because he is no longer able to do it, but because he is already overwhelmed, and there is nothing else to do but raise the next generation."
"But after the reform began, everything was different, and the Falcone family had too many new possibilities, which the logistics industry needed
There are too many hidden games in cooperation with Chicago, and the same is true for liaison with Imperial City, not to mention, the East Coast tandem plan is still on the agenda...
Schiller knocked on the table and said, "If the old godfather had used the whole of Gotham as a testing ground for his own son, he would not have been so hasty now. "
Batman's voice came from the corner of the room
:
An emperor who has not yet grown old, reinvigorated his ambitions, then the status of a prince.
"That's right, Evans was put in an awkward position, his father had already handed over a lot of property to him, and he had the capital to shake the rule of the old godfather." But at this time, his father suddenly did not plan to abdicate, and seemed to be planning to rule Gotham for another forty years. ,
Then the heir, who has already received part of the power, is no longer in an embarrassing situation, but can be called dangerous. "
"Evans told me this and came to me for advice."
Schiller glanced at Gordon and Copote, and said, "You know the old godfather better than I do." "
"He loves his son very much, but that doesn't mean he will let his successor be too ambitious, and he won't sit idly by and watch anyone else get early access to power that might shake his position." "
Copote suddenly understood, he looked at Schiller and said, "What advice did you give to little Falcone?" I would certainly advise him to retreat from the rapids. "
Schiller stood up and paced slowly around the table and said, "You should know better than I do that Falcone was generous in some ways, but he ruled Gotham for forty years not only because of his tolerance and kindness. "
"If Evans dares to show any ambition to shake his father's rule at this time, although Falcone will not kill him, it is normal for Evans to be placed under house arrest until he is willing to retire."
Gordon reacted immediately, glaring at Schiller and saying, "So you're..."
The Godfather had asked Evans to kill Maroni with his own hands, and Evans did capture him and could have killed him, but I suggested that he use it. "
"Of course, what happened after that was created by Evans' own genius, and it had nothing to do with me."
Evans was very impulsive at first, and when dealing with the interpersonal relationship of Living Hell, he clashed with various gang bosses, and then he instructed Maroney to enter Living Hell, asking him to kill those gang bosses and damage his own voice:
Then he looked at Copote, who himself said, "So Maroney and I hit it off.........
It's like you said before. Schiller looked at Go
Deng: "An heir who is reckless and impulsive at the beginning, indecisive in doing things, and then jumps over the wall to assassinate him, looks really stupid and not threatening. "
"Not to mention, he's still looking for the police." Gordon reluctantly added.
"What's more........." Schiller said, pulling out a medical record from under the table, "as expected, as soon as he heard that Falcone Jr. was going through the formal trial process, the judicial system in Gotham was paralyzed, so he could skip the process of bail, court hearing, trial, and imprisonment, and go straight to medical parole...
Gordon had a-eaten look on his face, and he said, "Then we can meet you here, right?" You even have your medical records ready in advance....."
Schiller pointed to the bed next to Copote and said, "That's his bed." "
'Mentally ill medical parole, he can not appear in his father's presence for a long time. Batman concluded, "It's good for both of them." "
"Alright, that's all the story." Schiller turned his gaze back to Colbert and said, "Now you should answer my question, right?"
Everyone's eyes, along with Schiller's movements, fell on the umbrella he had raised.
