Chapter 3024: The Green Trees Are Thick and the Summer Is Long (32)

Chapter 2998: The shade of green trees is thick and the summer days are long (32)

Schiller sat on the bed in the dark and cold prison, holding a black umbrella in his hand. He did not look for any evidence at all. He went out just to get his umbrella back.

The process of him being taken away was really unremarkable. It was nothing more than a car stopped in front of him. Someone told him to cooperate or die. Schiller chose to cooperate. They did not seem to see the strangeness of the umbrella at all. They just put the umbrella by the passage on this floor after locking him in the prison.

After Schiller got the umbrella back, he sat there. Soon, the elevator stopped on this floor again. A group of people came down cursing. Soon, a person was thrown into the cell next door.

There was a wall between the two cells. Schiller could not see the other person's appearance, but he could guess who the other person was. But before he could speak, the person turned over and said.

"Were you also captured by them? You must believe me, I'm not crazy. They want me to admit that I'm a mental patient, so that my testimony will be invalid, but you must believe me, I'm really not crazy! I saw what they did!"

"Who are you?" Schiller asked.

"I... If I tell you, you might not help me." A female voice came from the other side. She didn't sound very old, with a very obvious Gotham accent, so she should be a local.

"Tell me first."

"My last name is Richie... But I have nothing to do with the gangster boss named Richie. To be precise, we are distant relatives, but he didn't help us with anything, and I didn't do those gangster activities. You must believe me!"

The other party kept emphasizing that she should be believed, which proved that there were probably few people who believed in her before, or almost no people.

"Rich..." Schiller repeated the last name, and he felt a little familiar, but it should have been a long time ago.

"Yes, I am a branch of that gangster family, but that's not important. What's important is that my sister was killed by them! Because she witnessed their devilish behavior, they killed her!"

"Who are they?"

"Of course they are the people who kidnapped you here!" The other party raised his voice and said, "Before they kidnapped you, someone must have contacted you. Don't tell me you don't know who they are!"

"I really don't know."

The other party seemed to be a little disappointed. She hammered the ground hard and then said, "Everyone says that I am a mental patient, but I know that I am not! They slandered me just to put me in a mental hospital! In this way, my sister's death and the evil things they did will never see the light of day again!"

Schiller could hear from her wording that she should have received a good education and at least knew some grammar, which proved that she had a good family background before, which was consistent with what she said about being a branch of the former gangster family.

"I may not be able to get out alive, but I think you are important to them. If you can, you must expose them, otherwise more children will be harmed!"

"Children?"

"Yes, they are a gang, a gang that specializes in...specializing in harming children! My sister happened to... and was killed by them once! She sent me a distress signal before she died, so I know..."

"How did she send you a distress signal?"

"Using text messages!"

"Where are the text messages?"

"I deleted them when they found me."

"You didn't investigate privately, did you?"

"I just want to know what happened to my sister! She is not allergic to chicory at all! When I was at home, I saw her eat this dish more than once. How could she die of allergies?!"

"It seems that you are really crazy." Schiller said calmly: "Maybe you have never understood your sister, and all this is your fantasy."

The other party stopped talking, but it was not a frustrated emotion that was conveyed. She didn't seem to intend to give up at all.

Sure enough, after a while, Schiller heard someone prying the lock from the other side, and the lock was quickly pried open, but the other party went out for a while and came back.

Schiller didn't feel strange at all, because there was actually nothing on this floor, or in other words, ordinary people couldn't get in the place where there might be clues, and the elevator couldn't start. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to get Scarlet Witch here.

Schiller also spent a lot of effort to make the kidnappers confuse Barbara and Wanda, but fortunately, they were very similar, with little difference in size, and more importantly, they both had long red hair, so as long as they were not close, they would be mistaken for the same person.

Schiller first went to the police station and attracted everyone's attention to Gordon. As he told Gordon, the mastermind behind the scenes would think that even if scholars like Schiller wanted to investigate, they couldn't find anything very deep, but Gordon, an old sheriff who had worked in Gotham for so many years, was a big threat.

Because the other party had no bottom line, after learning about Gordon's iron-fisted style, they would pin their hopes on kidnapping his family to force him to compromise, so they would naturally arrange people to monitor near Gordon Manor.

The purpose of their surveillance was to determine how many people were in Gordon Manor and how strong the defense was, so Schiller hired a courier to deliver a package to Gordon Manor.

According to Schiller's understanding, Wanda is a restless person. She does all the shopping, cooking, cleaning the house, taking care of the yard, and delivering express delivery all by herself. Not only does she not feel tired, but she also enjoys it. She is born with a family. Housewife Eucharist.

Sure enough, as soon as the express delivery was delivered, Wanda ran out to get it herself. This would give the following group of people the illusion that Mrs. Gordon was the only adult in the manor at this time.

In their opinion, people who can live in such a manor will not come out to get things personally as long as there are other people in the house. Since she has come out to get the express delivery by herself, there must be no one else.

As soon as they pass this news back, the mastermind behind the scenes will immediately realize that this is a good time to take action, so they will ask their subordinates to take action.

After all, the mastermind behind the scenes is not a gangster family and does not have its own killer team. In other words, the team is not just professionals. For this kind of tracking work, street gangsters are hired to do it.

The street gangsters were locals, and they had seen Barbara in and out of Wayne Manor before she gave birth to her child. However, precisely because they were low-life gangsters, they did not dare to approach the local police chief, given their ten courages. house, so even if I saw Barbara, it was from a long distance and I couldn't see her face clearly. I could only confirm that she was a red-haired woman.

Wanda happened to be a red-haired woman, and she happened to be walking out of the manor. When the kidnappers arrived, the gangsters would naturally identify her and say that Wanda was Mrs. Gordon.

Just when they were studying how to break into the manor and kidnap people out, Wanda came out on her own.

As the saying goes, an opportunity can't be missed and it will never come again. Seeing this great opportunity, they hit her head-on. These people didn't care about anything and tied up Wanda directly.

After all, who else could be a beautiful red-haired woman living at Gordon Manor? Even if it wasn't Mrs. Gordon, but Mrs. Gordon's sister, then he would still be saved.

But they didn't expect that Wanda was not only unrelated to Gordon, but she was also the Scarlet Witch. More importantly, she had been promoted from an angry woman to an angry mother, and her power had become even higher.

What Schiller said to Wanda was just to stimulate her so that she could find the truth. Those very strict defense measures for ordinary people are a piece of cake for the Scarlet Witch. There is no place she can't go here. .

Although Schiller didn't know what these people were hiding here, he could probably imagine how mentally polluting that scene was.

Wanda would definitely feel very angry. Maybe it would be best to wipe out all these people and blow up this place.

In this way, the matter is completely settled, and Schiller no longer has to run around in temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius, and can go home with peace of mind and blow on the air conditioner.

As a result, Schiller sat here and waited and saw nothing. He saw a red light flash past, but did not hear any screams. The building was not destroyed, and no one seemed to disappear.

What's going on? Can the Scarlet Witch change her gender?

Schiller waited for a long time and found that there was no movement. He sighed in his heart. These people from Marvel are just unreliable. No one plays according to the routine. In the end, he has to do it himself!

"Do you want to avenge your sister?" Schiller suddenly asked.

Miss Ritchie next door immediately fell silent. After a long time, she said, "Did you know? My mother had mental problems. When I was about 5 years old, she went completely crazy. My father died in a gang fire." I was almost raised by my sister, otherwise I wouldn’t be so obsessed with finding the truth.”

"Whether you believe it or not, I will definitely avenge her." Miss Rich's tone revealed grief and anger, she said: "But I can't see that damn man at all. I know that he was the one who united with those people Slandering me as a mental patient..."

Miss Ritchie kept saying these things in circles, and Schiller thought she might be suffering from anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behavior, but that didn't really matter.

Schiller could feel that she was one of those rare people who did not despair. To put it harshly, she was called stubborn, but to put it nicely, she was determined to be strong-willed.

"I can help you get out, or even find someone to help you, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Before that, let me ask you a question first, how do you want to take revenge?"

"Kill that bastard of course!"

"Is that all?"

"What if?"

"Have you seen your sister's body?"

"No, they didn't let me see it at all." Miss Ritchie said with sadness in her tone: "I don't believe she died of allergies. I asked the forensic doctor to re-examine, but no one listened to me at all."

"Where is her body buried?"

"I don't know, no one will tell me."

"Can you find your sister's belongings? It's best to keep them with you at all times."

"Of course. I have her favorite teddy bear. She has been sleeping with it since she was a child. Unfortunately, after she got married, that bastard wouldn't let her take it with her, so she kept it at home."

"Very well. After you leave, take this thing and go to Arkham Asylum to find Dr. Brand. He knows what to do."

"what you up to?"

Schiller was silent, and Miss Rich knocked on the wallboard and said, "Don't keep silent, don't treat me like a madman."

"I'm just worried that you think I'm crazy."

"I won't. Even if you can't help me in the end, if you are willing to talk to me as a normal person, I am already very grateful to you. I haven't had a normal conversation with others for a long time."

Schiller felt that Miss Richie's mental state was actually a little abnormal. She was obviously excited, spoke fast, and her pronunciation was unclear. From the way she pronounced, it could be heard that she was still trembling.

Schiller suspected that she might have a hereditary mental illness, but she just hadn't developed the disease. No wonder Williams was willing to let him see her at first. Normal psychologists would not rule out the possibility that she had a mental illness.

"Brand will help your sister summon her soul."

"Summon her soul?!"

"Yes, don't you want to know the real cause of your sister's death?"

"I..."

"If you don't know, how can you know how much pain she suffered before her death, and how can you avenge the murderer?"

"...Okay, I'll go." Miss Richie gritted her teeth and said, "How do I leave here now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something sticking out from the railing next door. Richie hurried to the railing and looked down, and found that it was a black umbrella.

"Take this umbrella, go, Miss."
