Chapter 148 Rainy Night Mystery (Part 2)

"When outsiders enter the living hell, they certainly can't be as friendly as the tour groups. Fish can't be happy with them wantonly occupying the territory. At the beginning, her attitude was very firm and she would never give in, so several fights broke out."

Batman continued Gordon's voice and said: "The scale of the gang fights in the living hell is getting more and more outrageous. I had to rush over for several consecutive nights to stop them from blowing up the newly renovated buildings. In fact, when I went there on the first day, Fish was planning to do so."

"When the living hell was renovated, I updated the water system there, but Fish wanted to use this device as a bomb to threaten other gang bosses to withdraw. I stopped her."

Batman stood in the shadow in the corner of the room wrapped in a cape, as if he didn't exist. Only his low voice echoed in the room. Schiller asked him: "So you found Fish was murdered when you went to the living hell to maintain law and order?"

Batman continued: "I have been patrolling the living hell for a few days. Today should have been the last day. Because the gangsters have been divided, they are about to return to quiet. In this case, as far as I know, this year alone, Gotham had at least more than a dozen gang boss. I think Fish is not special. "" Brock told me that he and Fish had just dealt with a few days ago, and it was a murder that happened together on Green Street. Of course, there was nothing to say about the case. " She has a serious mental disorder and is a sadist. "

"And I have to pay so much attention to Fish's death, because this case involves an important person."

"Who?" Schiller asked.

"The Godfather's son, Evans Falcone."

"Evans? How could he be involved in such a thing?" Schiller asked with some doubts: "Two days ago, I called him to the office to guide the thesis, and I didn't feel anything wrong with him."

Gordon sighed and said: "Living Hell is the first step of Gotham's transformation project. The old Godfather is very concerned about it, and the heads of the twelve families are the same. For such an important matter, the old Godfather will certainly send a trustworthy person to keep an eye on it."

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 wants to go?"

Gordon paused and said, "I heard this from our new director. You know, he's Falcone's man."

"He told me that Falcone was a little impatient. He asked the Godfather to supervise the living hell in person. The Godfather didn't comment, but it seems that he agreed in the end."

"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 calm and firm.

"The new mayor Roy has become Falcone's godson, and he's doing quite well."

Gordon nodded, and then Batman's voice said, "Roy is actually not much older than Evans. He doesn't have a high degree, but he is an empirical and pragmatic person. Such people are more likely to attract the favor of gang bosses. After all, Roy's background is more similar to theirs, and they are also very interesting to talk about."

"But in this way, the original heir, Little Falcone, becomes a little embarrassed." Gordon shrugged and said, "It's normal for him to feel anxious."

"So he persuaded the old godfather to participate in the affairs of the living hell?"

"Yes, this is why I feel pressure now." Gordon rubbed his forehead and said.

"I said before that Fish is a crazy woman. She has a bad temper, doesn't listen to anyone's advice, and is so bold that she doesn't even take the old godfather's son seriously."

"Evans came to the living hell, of course he wanted to mediate the conflicts between the gangs. He and Fish had several conflicts."

"Evans certainly hopes that Fish can sit down and talk with those foreign gang bosses, and peacefully evolve this matter to show his mediation ability, but Fish is not willing to do so at all."

"We have an informant in the Mooney Gang, and he reported to us that Fish is almost completely crazy. She started beating her subordinates and even wanted to kill people indiscriminately..."

"Wait." Schiller interrupted Gordon and said, "Could Cobblepot be one of the victims?"

Gordon sighed again. He looked a little tired. He said, "That's what I inferred. Although I don't know what this guy does under her, it seems that he will be the target of the crazy woman's venting. He has no ability to resist at all. Sadists like to torture such people..."

Schiller didn't say anything, but motioned Gordon to continue. After Gordon drank a sip of water, he continued, "The conflict between Fish and Evans is getting more and more intense. There were even several times when they almost shot each other."

"Logically, Evans is certainly not afraid of Fish. He is the heir of the Falconet family, and the twelve families must obey his orders."

"But he is eager to prove himself, He 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 gangsters didn't like him. They thought he was procrastinating and not the style of the Gotham gang. "

"But the result is that now that Fish is dead, all the foreign gangsters think it was Evans who did it. They are all worried and unwilling to listen to him. Some people in the twelve families are also very dissatisfied with Evans's approach. "

Gordon spread his hands on the table and said: "At the beginning, he was procrastinating, holding unrealistic fantasies, and wanted a peaceful evolution, but in the end he got angry and assassinated. This is not very glorious no matter how you look at it. "

"Our new chief is the old Godfather's man. He doesn't understand the old Godfather's attitude now. After all, he is his biological son. The old Godfather can't just give up like that."

"So, the new chief hopes that I can solve the case quickly, even if it means finding a scapegoat who is unlucky, so as to clear Evans' suspicion and make the heir of the Falconet family look less stupid and affect the old Godfather's prestige."

Gordon slapped the table with his palm and said, "That's why I asked you to come in the middle of the night. We want to find a breakthrough from that kid named Oswald."

"It seems that you are not willing to exonerate Evans, but to find out the real truth."

"I don't want to do anything for anyone. Even if Fish is a lunatic and deserves death, I want to find the real murderer. "

Schiller stood up, and Gordon followed him. Gordon said: "Professor Rodriguez, I know that you have been tracking some brutal serial killers over the years, and you have solved major cases all over the world. "

"I admit that I really need your help now, but I really can't come up with any decent reward..."

Gordon sighed and said: "The forces involved in this case are too complicated. If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, I am afraid..."

Schiller looked back at him. Gordon's face looked a little haggard under the light, and his expression looked embarrassed.

The detective was no longer young, and the wrinkles on his face were already the result of years. Schiller said to him, "You should know better than me that this is a struggle between the heirs of the Falcone family, and it is also likely to involve the next candidate for the king of Gotham's underground..."

"Anyone in Gotham who gets caught up in this vortex may be crushed to pieces, including you, Detective Gordon." Schiller's tone was very solemn. He said very seriously, "If you want to investigate the truth in such a vortex, you may be dead on the street tomorrow..."

"He won't." Batman's voice came. "If there is only one good person left in Gotham who needs protection, then I can at least let him live through the next day."

Schiller stared at Batman, and Batman looked back at him. A silent atmosphere spread between the two. Schiller almost forgot when he last had such a conversation with Batman.

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. This is a serious matter. If there is any violent conflict at this juncture, even if you don't invite me, Falcone will invite me. If Evans has a problem, I, as his tutor, will still have to deal with the mess."

Gordon walked in front to open the door for him. Schiller walked out of the door with his head down. He said to himself: "I knew that I wouldn't have a few days of peace here..."

When they arrived at the morgue, the forensic doctor had left. Gordon dragged Fish's body out of the freezer. Schiller lifted the white cloth and took a look. Fish was hit in the head by a bullet.

Gordon lifted the white cloth and said, "The fatal injury was the bullet in the head. There was no other trauma on the body. The forensic autopsy report said that other possible causes of death were basically ruled out."

"Well, he was shot in the head, and the person who did it was quite civilized."

Gordon shrugged and said, "This sounds like a black joke, but it is also true. In the past few years in Gotham, the most I have come into contact with are corpses shot into sieves by submachine guns. Only the one shot in the head, the person who did it is indeed civilized."

Schiller stared at the corpse in silence for a while, and Batman also walked forward, also silent. Finally, Gordon couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore. He tilted his head to the left, glanced at Schiller, then tilted his head to the right, glanced at Batman, and then asked, "So, did you two see anything?"

"We see the same thing you see."

"Okay, now let's sort out the investigation ideas." Schiller spoke 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 of exonerating Evans to get help from your director. Batman, go investigate the other gang bosses to see if they are suspects of committing the crime."

"As for me, the only possible eyewitness at the scene is suffering from acute stress disorder. I have to see him. If I have his confession, things will be much easier."

"Besides." Batman stared at Schiller and said: "The suspicion of Cobblepot committing the crime cannot be ruled out. After all, apart from the deceased, he was the only one present. It is also possible that he killed Fish first and then pretended to be unconscious."
