Chapter 170 The long Easter (10)
Batman is on the roof of a building in the West Side at this time, and he is here following clues about Easter eggs.
The Easter eggs that the holiday killer gave to the gangster boss did not leave any specific clues, but he shouldn't give to Bruce Wayne.
Wayne Manor is surrounded by Batman-decorated cameras, and two cameras located at the main entrance capture a figure.
It was a newspaper boy who traveled between the South and the East. These newspaper boys often traveled between the wealthy areas in the South and the printing factory, and almost no one noticed their existence.
The camera did not capture the newspaper boy's face, but took a photo of his outfit. Finally, Batman found him in a newspaper printing factory in the East Side.
The newspaper boy didn't know much information. He only told Batman that someone paid money to entrust them to deliver easter eggs.
This kind of living is very common among newspaper boys. They often have a fixed gathering point. Some people who need to run errands will go to their gathering point to find them and hire them to send something to others with money.
This group of newspaper boys is very familiar with Gotham's terrain and routes, and for convenience, Gotham people have agreed not to make things difficult for these errand-run children, so many people like to hire them, send them food, keys, or beer.
Batman came to the gathering point of the newspaper boys. The group of children described the appearance of the festival killer in a verbal way, but it was useless. When they took the order, they would not care who the order was. As long as they were sure that they were not given dangerous goods that would be robbed, they would take all the orders. There were too many people coming every day, and no one could remember the specific appearance.
However, one of the more clever newspaper boys provided an important clue, saying that in the person who hired them, he smelled a chemical agent, which was a bit like gunpowder.
Following this clue, Batman investigated all chemical plants in Gotham City.
There are actually many chemical plants in Gotham City, but they also have to be divided into sizes. After experiencing the disaster of flooding and ice, most of the small chemical plants have been shut down, and only a few production lines can continue to operate.
There were only four or five chemical plants that could operate normally, and the investigation did not take too much time. In the end, he focused his attention on a chemical plant in the West Side.
This chemical factory is located underground in the west area. It is not large in scale and has few production lines. Their assembly lines are not high-end, and what they produce will not be important. Logically speaking, it should be closed with other small chemical factories.
Moreover, after the disaster, almost all the underground buildings of Gotham were damaged, and the underground chemical factory was almost buried. The building was seriously damaged, most of the collapsed, and most of the production lines were paralyzed, but even so, there were still traces of movement nearby.
What goods must be produced at this time?
Prying open the lock of the back door, Batman walked in along the crack of the door, he put on a night vision device, and saw chaos in the chemical factory.
A part of the southeast corner collapsed, and the ground was covered with ruins. Many boxes were pressed under the walls, and some mucus flowed out. The night vision device could not see clearly what the mucus was, so he got closer.
Soon, Batman smelled a stinking smell. When he approached, he saw that the boxes were all smashed goose eggs, with egg yolks and egg whites flowing all over the floor, and no one dealt with them. They were about to ferment, and bursts of stench came out.
And further apart, some boxes were not affected. Batman walked over and saw that there was a processed goose eggshell.
Easter eggs are not painted directly on raw goose eggs. Goose eggs selected as Easter egg materials must be processed. If not hollowed out, they also need to be soaked with chemical preparations to make the surface suitable for painting. If hollowed out, some other methods need to be used to maintain the hardness of the eggshell.
It seems that there are two kinds of ingredients for the Easter eggs stored here, but some of the unempty Easter eggs were crushed by the falling walls.
Batman walked forward, picked up an eggshell and looked at it. The eggshell had been processed, but had not been painted with patterns. Batman took away several such eggshells and took them back to Wayne Manor for comparison.
There were several different Easter eggs in front of the laboratory bench. First, the easter eggs sent by the festival killer that Bruce received. Batman had never touched it, so it did not explode and maintained its complete shape.
The other one is the easter egg with a smiley face that Schiller drew for him, and the other is the easter egg shell that Batman brought back from that warehouse that had not been painted.
It is very obvious that the first and the third easter eggs are almost exactly the same, and they are completely consistent in both the size and shape of the goose eggs and the treatment method.
In contrast, Schiller obviously just found a goose egg, which was not even very similar to the goose eggs from a farm, but more like the swan eggs from a nest.
It is not the right size, obviously too small, and has not been treated at all, so it is used to paint directly. The surface of the eggshell is too smooth and the pigment cannot be attached, so the smiley face is a bit distorted.
In other words, these easter eggs that were given to the gang bosses and upper class were leaked from the chemical factory in the West District.
"Westside Chemical Factory..." Batman murmured in a low voice. He was suddenly stunned, then quickly left Wayne Manor and drove the Batmobile to Gotham Police Station.
Gordon was finishing his busy day and was about to go home from get off work, but he heard a sound in the corner behind him. He didn't have to look at it and said, "So what's wrong, Batman?"
"Last tape..."
You look up and see that the shooting star is so beautiful
"Tape? Oh, you mean the tape that Schiller's phone record isn't it? It's in the evidence room, but the staff there are already off work..."
As soon as Gordon finished speaking, Batman disappeared. Gordon shook his head. He thought that the dangerous goods were good to preserve this weirdo, so that no one would be unable to control his curiosity one day and insist on listening.
Batman came to the dark room of evidence. He found the tape and put it in the recorder. After a rustling noise, Schiller's voice sounded again: "Their No. 9 Plantation cargo is on the way of Old Wilkin, which is the route through the three streets in the East District..."
Batman twisted the button on the recorder and quickly went in: "Are you worried about this? No need, as far as I know, the underground chemical factory in the West District is also Falcone..."
"...... After the Godfather handed over the family's property to Evans before, the goods on Elizabeth Street began to go there, but later, due to poor management, it was closed for a long time. You don't have to worry that the Godfather would care about such a little profit..."

"Chemical Factory? Evans Evans Falcone..." Batman's voice rang out in the dark room.
At this moment, Batman's phone rang out a sharp ringtone. After he answered, Copper's voice came from inside: "...Evans!! It's Evans!!! He has a knife... He wants to kill me... No, he is not... cough... Go quickly, go to Gotham Cathedral and stop him..."
Batman looked up at the window, and at this moment, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.
When Batman arrived at Gotham Cathedral, Evans seemed to be waiting for him.
Evans stood at the crack in the center of the cathedral, watching the floating light surging inside the crack, Batman smelled a scent that made him dizzy, which seemed to be evaporated.
He fell from the window and stood in front of Evans. Evans ignored him and instead knelt on the ground and stared straight at the crack.
"Who are you?" Batman asked.
"Who am I? Don't you recognize me? I am your classmate..."
"You're not Evans."
The person on the opposite side sneered and said, "Don't mention that name to me, that's just a fake, I'm the real Falcone."
"Are you his second personality?"
"No, he is my second personality."
The man opposite stood up, and the blonde hair became a little weird under the moonlight. He showed the cold expression that Evans never showed. He said, "I said, I am Falcone, Alberto Falcone."
"Then you are his second personality."
Alberto was a little angry. He frowned and narrowed his eyes. The green eyes contained anger. His voice was very low and it sounded completely different from Evans.
"I've always been Alberto!"
"Isn't Alberto dead?"
"Ha...that farce really deceived a lot of people." Alberto sneered and said, "I'm dead? No, of course not, it's just a fool who replaced me."
"It seems that this should be a long story, but it doesn't matter..." Batman took out the bat dart from his waist, and he said: "Tonight is Easter night, it should be a long night, you can think about it slowly."
"You should be the holiday killer?"
"Yes, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Batman threw something at Alberto. Alberto waved to the side vigilantly, and then he turned to see that it was a broken Easter egg.
"Damn it, are you teasing me?"
"No. This is an Easter gift given to you by someone, but now it's broken, but it's because you didn't catch it, it has nothing to do with me."
"Don't try to interfere with me with this little trick. My goal has been achieved, and no one can stop me."
"Is that true? You call yourself a holiday killer, but you didn't kill anyone on Easter. The only principal, Sethton, was killed. The crime was rough and there were many flaws."
Batman always makes it very annoying when he speaks such words in a gentle tone without any ups and downs.
"Do you think you're very clever? What kind of superhero is wearing a tight suit?"
"But I found you at least, oh, no... it wasn't me who found you, but that inconspicuous Copper."
Speaking of Copot, Alberto seemed to be really angry, and he said, "That damn boy, he almost ruined my plan..."
"So, have you failed? Facing a short and thin poor boy, facing the first person you want to kill on Easter, and while you are fully prepared, you still can't kill him."
"I didn't want to kill him at all. If he hadn't given Evans those stupid ideas, I wouldn't have attacked him. He was completely unimportant!"
"That's why I said that your technique is rough and your flaws are many. Anyone can tell that Coppert is a dangerous person."
"Yes..." Alberto sneered: "A little pitiful person who lost his father, he didn't know yet that his father's death was not a coincidence."
Then, he said, as if he was venting something, "Funeral? Yes, I'm dead, and many people attended my funeral."
He looked up at the window above the cathedral. The moonlight was like a curtain that was sprinkled in, gently covering the statue of Jesus. The crucifixion Son shed blood for the betrayer. In this cold night full of suffering, only the moonlight was willing to wear him.
