Chapter 154: Party and Umbrella (6)
Batman is investigating the identity of the mysterious third person in the murder case at this time, and he checks the surveillance video in front of the computer.
When transforming the Living Hell, Batman will of course carry private goods inside, such as installing thousands of cameras.
If it is in an ordinary residential area, with Batman's financial and technical strength, he can use the camera to monitor all residents without blind spots.
But in the living hell, this is difficult to achieve. The outrageous building structure and too dense active population here make equipment monitoring a difficult task.
In other places, the cameras have 80% visual angles and 20% blind spots, but in the building structure of the Living Hell, the cameras are basically 80% blind spots and 20% visual area.
Moreover, people living here have no concept of not being able to occupy public space. People who can hide cameras will be piled with all kinds of miscellaneous items.
The people here have no idea of not destroying public property. When they see messy things on the wall, their first reaction is to give them a shot. This has led to 30% of the cameras hidden by Batman being scrapped in just a few weeks, and 30% of them were blocked or blurred.
The remaining 30% of the locations are all based on luck. It happened that there were no cameras available in the two or three corridors around Fish's death scene, so Batman could only find clues from a further distance.
The population here is densely populated, and there are too many people coming and going every day. There are as many as thousands of people recorded in cameras in nearby blocks. It is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Even so, Batman still took out his patience and looked at the surveillance screen frame by frame.
Hard work pays off. Soon, Batman discovered a familiar face from the screen of the device, which was Sal Maroney.
The surveillance equipment only captured one of his side faces, but his appearance was very distinctive and his temperament was different from others. Batman discovered him at a glance.
After recalling Maroni's information, Batman discovered that Maroni was not a resident of the Living Hell and had almost no relationship with anyone here. Therefore, his behavior here seemed very suspicious.
Batman decided to talk to Maroni. Even if he was not the murderer, he would appear in the living hell at this point in time, and he would definitely know something.
"Batman? What's wrong with him?" Schiller asked Copper in the ward of Arkham Mental Hospital.
"I observed this weird guy for a while and found a strange place where he didn't kill anyone."
"And he not only didn't kill people," Copper said a little unbelievably, "He actually saved people. I saw him save a beaten child..."
"How could there be such a person from Gotham? Copper said in a very absurd tone: "It seems like he will lose money if he doesn't use it..."
"Then how did you use him?"
"Just as I had arranged with Maroni, I led Fish into a room and angered her, Maroni shot her from the side.
"But what Maroni didn't know was that before I came, I made arrangements. While we were doing it, I made some noise on the upstairs. I knew that the weird guy was often patrolling here, so that he would definitely attract him."
"Maroni heard someone coming, and he was eager to escape, and I offered to stay and then, just like Batman told you..."
Copper showed a creepy evil smile and said, "I fell there, pretending to be sick, and my body was covered with traces of abuse. The weird man did not kill me, but also saved me, so I went to the police station...'
"I have already understood the whole process. So, let's talk about the cause. When things have developed to this point, how do you plan to achieve your goal?"
"Maroni kidnapped my mother and forced a minor and mentally ill to participate in the murder. I heard him tell him about his plan to frame Falcone Jr...."
"I will stand up and be the only witness to prove Maroni, prove that the godfather's heir is innocent, and that everything is Maroni's conspiracy...
"Do you think you can negotiate terms with the Godfather with this?" "No, of course I know this is impossible.
Copper looked at the ceiling and said, "I understood a truth from the fact that the godfather asked me to kill old Edward, one was the truth that the godfather was the godfather, and one was the truth that little Falcone had not yet understood..."
"When the godfather does something, he must be justified, with sufficient reasons and sufficient reason."
"He had no reason to persecute a person who worked diligently for him, was abused and coerced, and was also mentally stimulated to be hospitalized. Before he was admitted to the hospital, he had solved the troublesome, inconspicuous... unknown...
As Copper said, Schiller looked at him, and a shadow from the beam of the window in the room fell on his face. Even though his face was still very immature, he could already see the outline of the ambitious Penguin Man, a future ambitious penguin. Walking among all forces, maintaining a delicate balance, interlocking plan, and almost perfect execution ability, it is hard to believe that a child who is only in his teenagers has done all this alone.
"But, there was still an accident in your perfect plan."
When Copper heard Schiller's question, he instinctively turned his head over and did not want to look directly at the doctor, but Schiller still said, "The accident happened to your family's genetic disease. Your mother first became sick, causing you to waste too much time to subdue and comfort her. Then, when the plan was about to succeed, your pretending illness turned into a real illness. So at this time, you did not expose Maroni at the police station, but came here."
Copper pursed his lips, as if he was unwilling to admit it, and then he said, "You said that this disease can be cured..."
"It's OK, but you have to cooperate. Schiller stood up, nodded, and said seriously, "If so, then I admit that you did not commit academic fraud in crime. The setting of the entire plan, the early arrangement, the mid-term execution and the ending are all the same as when you murdered Old Edward."
"Although some of the processes are a bit cumbersome, they are still meticulous. If there is no accident, everything will be completed smoothly as you plan."
"And you have a very accurate grasp of the Godfather's psychology. In this case, he will not care about you."
"So, let's analyze the accident. Schiller walked to the other side of the room, pushed a whiteboard from the side, wrote a series of words on it, and pointed to the whiteboard and said, "To understand this disease, we have to start with the general category of schizophrenia."
Immediately afterwards, Copper, who was lying on the bed, was forced to listen to Schiller's lecture on popular science in psychiatry.
Even if he had a genius brain, he was dizzy after more than an hour. There were too many medical terms that he had never heard of before, and it was accompanied by case analysis of various examples.
While Schiller was drinking water, Copper said, "I think my illness is almost gone. Let me go back to the police station. I'm still very furnished:
"Don't worry, there is still the last point left, which is the most critical part, such as why did you get sick at that time."
"First of all, dusk to night is the peak of schizophrenia, and changes in light can stimulate mentally ill people."
"You should start preparing at dusk and then do it at night. If I guess correctly, the window of the room you do can see the sunset, and the light is still very dazzling, which will cause greater stimulation to people with mental instability. Remember to find a room without windows next time.
"And earlier, you were abused by Fish and then suffered serious injuries in the process of subduing your mother."
"These are very typical external stimulations. Schiller turned the pen in his hand and said, "You think you endured silently when you were beaten by Fish, and you were helpless when you were hurt by your mother, but in fact, your potential
Consciousness remembers the pain at that time more deeply than your sanity."
"You think you didn't leave a psychological shadow, but that's not the case."
"The mentality of adolescents is not stable enough. If you don't get sick this time, about a month later, you will still have PTSD, such as continuous anxiety and nightmares, and difficulty falling asleep."
"People always think that they are too strong. The higher the IQ, the more rational people think so."
"But the human spirit is actually more fragile than imagined. If psychological trauma is not shown, it does not mean it does not exist."
Coppo went over and told himself not to think about these issues. He said, "I have to complete my plan. Although it is a little late, it should be too late."
"No hurry... Schiller walked to his desk and flipped through it, took out a file, and then said, "From your perspective, this matter has been explained very clearly."
But you want to hear this story from another perspective:
Is it?"
Schiller opened the file and said in a tone of no turmoil. "After 10 days ago, a murder occurred on Green Street next to the Living Hell area. The police officer in charge of the case was Harvey Brock, who wrote in his report...
body
"Kevin Brown, the leader of the gang, was found dead in the alley of Green Street. He was shot three times, the second shot was shot in the lungs, which was fatal. When the police arrived, he had died on the spot. After investigating the crime scene, the police determined that he was fired. "
"You should be familiar with this case, and you have mentioned it in your narrative just now."
"What I want to talk about is not this case, but another case attached to this case."
"A umbrella maker was found dead at the door of the store in the Wijin Umbrella Shop on the streets of Green. The cause of death was shot by a pistol, and he was still killed on the spot. After the police investigated, they were determined to be fired by gangsters and affected...?
"In the end, the police investigation resulted in a gangster fire broke out in the streets of Greene and two people died."
Coppert saw Schiller leaning against the windowsill, with his back on the light, and when he put down the file, the light shone on the lens from behind him, making Coppert unable to see his eyes clearly, but Coppert had a bad premonition.
"I know, you want to say, this kind of case is not uncommon and has nothing to do with me."
"But this caused me a lot of trouble." Schiller said in a calm tone: "There are a lot of rainy days recently, and my umbrella is used very frequently, and it is broken."
"When I found the umbrella maker and wanted to repair it, I found that he was dead."
"Fish Mooney Kills the Only One in Gotham City
’
A handmade umbrella maker."
"After that, I went to talk to her, because of the guilt in her heart, she couldn't sleep or eat, so she went crazy." "Then now, Mr. Copper...
Copper began to feel cold behind his back. He struggled to move to the other side of the bed, trying to avoid Schiller's sight, but one of his hands was still tied to the armrest and could not move at all.
Schiller took out an umbrella from behind the table, walked slowly to the end of the bed, then reached out and poked the tip of the umbrella between Coppert's eyes, and said to Coppert:
Chapter completed!
