Chapter 147: The Rainy Night Mystery (Part 2)
"When outsiders enter the living hell, of course, it is impossible for them to be as friendly as tourist groups. Fish is not willing to encircle territory. At the beginning, her attitude was very firm and she never gave in, so several fires occurred."
Batman then said in Gordon's voice: "The gangsters in Living Hell are getting more and more extraordinary in size. I had to rush over for several nights to stop them and prevent them from blowing up the newly renovated building. In fact, Fish was planning to do this when I passed the first day."
"When I was renovating the water supply system there, I updated the water supply system, but Fish wanted to use this device as a bomb to threaten other gangster bosses and let them quit, and I stopped her."
Batman stood in the shadow of the corner of the room wrapped in a cloak, as if it didn't exist, only his low voice echoed in the room, Schiller asked him: "So you are going to live in hell to maintain orders and find that Fish was murdered?"
Batman continued: "I have been patrolling Hell for a few days. Today should be the last day. Because the gangsters' territory has been divided, they are about to return to quiet."
"But on that night, I heard some movement on the roof. When I rushed over, there were only two people in the room, one was the dead Fish Mooney, and the other was Oswald Copper."
Schiller turned to Gordon and said, "So, Detective Gordon, why are you so concerned about this case? As far as I know, this year alone, at least a dozen gangster bosses died in Gotham. I think Fish is not special."
"Indeed." Gordon nodded, and he replied: "The scale of the Mooney Gang is not very large in Gotham. In fact, originally, the ghost place in Living Hell could not squeeze out much oil and water. Fish was also considered a poor person among the gang bosses."
"Bullock told me that he and Fish had just had a fight a few days ago, and that was a murder case that took place on Green Street, and of course, there was nothing to say about that case."
"The key point is, Brock told me that Fish was a totally crazy woman, she had serious mental disorders and was a sadist."
"And I would pay so much attention to Fish's death, which is actually a forced one, because this case involves an important person."
"Who?" Schiller asked.
"Son of the Godfather, Evans Falcone."
"Evans? How could he get involved in this kind of thing?" Schiller asked in confusion: "Two days ago, I called him to the office to guide the paper, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him."
Gordon sighed and said, "Living hell is the first step in Gotham's transformation project. The old godfather is very concerned about it, and the leader of the twelve families is the same. Of course, the old godfather will send a trustworthy person to stare at such an important matter."
Schiller shook his head and said, "I don't think Falcone will send Evans. Even I know that Evans is not mature now."
"But what if Falcone Jr. takes the initiative to go?"
Gordon paused and said, "This is what I heard from our new chief, and you know that he is from Falcone."
"He told me that Falcone Jr. was a little impatient. He asked the godfather that he wanted to personally supervise the living hell. The godfather did not comment, but it seemed that he finally agreed."
"Perhaps, he began to feel a sense of crisis." Batman's low voice came from the corner of the room, unlike Gordon's somewhat anxious voice, his tone was always gentle and firm.
"The new mayor Roy has become Falcone's godson, and he has done a pretty good job."
Gordon nodded, then Batman said, "Roy is actually not much older than Evans. He does not have a high degree of education, but an empiricist and practical person can arouse the favor of the gangster bosses. After all, Roy's background is more similar to them, and he has a lot to talk about."
"But in this way, the original heir, Falcone Jr., became a little embarrassed." Gordon shrugged and said, "It is normal for him to feel anxious."
"So he moved the old godfather and wanted to participate in the matter of living hell?"
"Yes, that's why I feel stressed now." Gordon rubbed his forehead and said.
"I said before that Fish is a crazy woman. She has a bad temper, does not listen to people's advice at all, and is bold and unrestrained, even the son of the old godfather is taken seriously."
"Evans came to the Living Hell, of course he wanted to mediate the conflict between the gangs. He and Fish had several conflicts."
"Of course Evans hopes that Fish can sit down and talk with the foreign gang bosses and evolve this matter peacefully to demonstrate his mediation ability, but Fish is not willing to do so."
"We were in Mooney to help the informant, and he returned us that Fish was almost completely crazy, she began to beat her subordinates and even wanted to kill people indiscriminately..."
"Wait." Schiller interrupted Gordon, saying, "Will Coppertee be one of the victims?"
Gu Chuan
Gordon sighed again, he looked a little tired, he said, "I also inferred that way. Although I don't know what this kid does under her hands, it seems that he is indeed the object of the crazy woman's venting. He has no ability to resist at all. The sadist likes to torture such people..."
Schiller didn't say anything, but signaled Gordon to continue saying that after Gordon took a sip of water, he continued: "The conflict between Fish and Evans is getting more and more intense, and there are even several times when they almost broke the gun."
"In theory, Evans is certainly not afraid of Fish. He is the heir to the Falcone family, and the twelve families must listen to his orders."
"But he was eager to prove himself and wanted to settle the matter himself, so he didn't want others to help him, but he was too impatient. As a result, he didn't settle Fish, and the other foreign gang bosses, had no good feelings for him, and felt that he was procrastinating in his work, not the style of Gotham gangsters."
"But the result is that now that Fei is dead, all the foreign gang bosses think that Evans did it. They all are in danger and refuse to listen to him. Some people in the twelve families are very dissatisfied with Evans' approach."
Gordon spread his hands on the table and said, "At the beginning, he was slow and unrealistic fantasy, and wanted to evolve peacefully, but in the end he was so angry that he was assassinated. This was not very glorious."
"Our new director is the old godfather's person. He can't figure out the old godfather's attitude now. After all, he is a biological son. It is impossible for the old godfather to give up just like that."
"So, the new director hopes that I will solve the case quickly, even if I find a bad scapegoat, it will clear Evans' suspicion, so that the heir of the Falcone family will not appear so stupid and affect the prestige of the old godfather."
Gordon slapped the table with his palm and said, "That's why I invited you in the middle of the night. We want to find a breakthrough from the boy named Oswald."
"It seems that you are not willing to waive Evans, but want to find out the truth."
"I don't want to get rid of anyone. Even if Fish is a lunatic and dies, I want to find the real murderer."
Schiller stood up, Gordon followed him, and Gordon said: "Professor Rodriguez, I know that you have been following some of the murderers of murderers over the years, and have records of major cases all over the world."
"I admit that I really need your help now, but I really can't get any decent rewards..."
Gordon sighed and said, "The forces involved in this case are too complicated. If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, I'm afraid..."
Schiller looked back at him, Gordon's face looked a little haggard under the light, and his expression looked embarrassed.
The detective is no longer young, and the gullies on his face have traces of time. Schiller said to him: "You should know better than me. This is a struggle between the heirs of the Falcone family, and it is very likely to involve the next candidate for the King of Underworld of Gotham..."
"If anyone in Gotham gets involved in this whirlpool, including you, Detective Gordon." Schiller's tone was very serious. He said very seriously: "If you want to investigate the truth in such a whirlpool, you may be on the street tomorrow..."
"He won't." Batman's voice came. "If Gotham has only one good person left to protect, I can at least let him survive the next day."
Schiller stared at Batman, and Batman looked back at him, an atmosphere of silence spread between the two. Schiller had almost forgotten when the last time he had talked to Batman like this.
Finally, he sighed and said to Gordon: "This matter does have something to do with me. Living hell is the first step in Gotham's transformation. It is of great importance. If there is any serious conflict at this moment, even if you don't invite me, Falcone will invite me. If something goes wrong with Evans, as his tutor, I still have to deal with the mess."
Gordon walked in front and opened the door for him. Schiller walked out of the door with his head down. He said to himself: "I knew that I would not have a few days to live here..."
When he arrived at the morgue, the forensic doctor had already left. Gordon dragged Fish's body out of the freezer. Schiller lifted the white cloth and took a look. Fish's head was hit by a bullet.
Gordon lifted the white cloth and said, "The fatal injury is the bullet on the head, and there is no trauma on the rest of the body. The forensic's autopsy report said that other possibilities for death were basically ruled out."
"Okay, I was shot in the head, and the person who attacked was quite civilized."
Gordon shrugged and said, "This sounds like a black joke, but it is also a fact. In the past few years, the most I have been in contact with is a corpse that was shot into a sieve by a submachine gun. Only one shot in the head. The person who took action is indeed civilized."
Schiller stared at the corpse silently for a while, and Batman also walked forward, and was also silent. In the end, Gordon couldn't stand the atmosphere. He turned his head to the left, looked at Schiller, then turned his head to the right, looked at Batman, and then asked, "So, have you two seen something?"
“We see the same thing as you see.”
"Okay, let's take a look at the investigation now." Schiller said first: "Gordon, you should be able to continue investigating along the line of Evans. After all, your director is on Falcone's side. You can use the excuse to waive Evans and get help from your director. Batman investigates the remaining gangsters and see if they are suspected of committing crimes."
"As for me, the only possible witness on the scene, is now in acute stress disorder, I have to go see him. If he had his confession, things would be much easier."
