American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Victor stood in front of the window of Cobot's old house, yanked the window hard, then looked up, and found that there was still a lock hanging on the window of this dilapidated old house. Schiller took out a pistol and handed it to him. Victor, Victor looked at him and said, "You still have a gun?"

Schiller also looked at him and said, "Why are you surprised that I carry a gun? This is Gotham."

Victor was also surprised and said, "But why did you give it to me with a gun? Can't you shoot?"

"My marksmanship is not accurate, you can only come."

Victor took the gun and muttered, "We are both out-of-towners, why are you like a native here?"

He raised his gun, aimed at the old lock, banged the gun, the lock sparked and was knocked off. Victor pushed open the window and went in, Schiller followed behind him.

After entering, Victor pointed to the ground and said, "Master reconnaissance, it's time for you to play."

Schiller shook his head. "Isn't that obvious? Mrs. Cobot has been kidnapped."

As soon as he finished saying this, his eyes fell on a corner of the living room. There was a very old shoe cabinet. There were a pair of rain boots and several other pairs of ordinary leather shoes next to the door. There is an umbrella next to the cabinet.

Schiller walked to the umbrella, picked up the handle of the umbrella and looked at it, then gradually narrowed his eyes, Victor also walked over, he looked at the umbrella, and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong? What's wrong with the umbrella?"

Schiller pursed his lips. He didn't answer. He just turned the umbrella upside down and looked at the tip of the umbrella. There was a small circle on the tip of the umbrella. The pattern was very inconspicuous. It looked a bit like someone's signature. pointed, and tapped the ground with the handle of the umbrella.

Victor looked left and right and said, "What are you doing?"

"No . . . nothing." Schiller picked up the umbrella and went back to the middle of the living room. He walked to the sofa first, then said, "Looks like Mrs. Cobot was dragged from here."

Then he came to the left side of the coffee table. The coffee table of the Cobot family was made of glass, which looked very delicate and could reflect that their family used to have some wealth.

There was a tea set on the glass coffee table. Schiller picked it up and smelled it. Victor also came over. He put his hands on his hips, leaned over and looked at the tea set, and said, "Although I have no detective experience, I also Can you guess that someone should have been drugged here?"

"As expected, it should be." Schiller found a stack of newspapers from the side, wrapped the teacup, handed it to Victor, and asked him to take it back for testing. Then he squatted down and looked at the sofa. under.

The wooden leg on the left side of the sofa left a scratch about 20 centimeters on the ground, and it was obvious that the sofa had been dragged by someone.

He squatted on the ground again and looked at the living room. The items scattered on the floor of the living room looked like the cabinet had been hit and the items on it fell off.

The table next to it was also knocked aside, a chair overturned on the ground, and one of the chair's legs was broken. It looked like someone had fought here.

Schiller sighed and said, "I don't think we need to watch any more. Let's go back first. No matter who kidnaps Mrs. Cobot, the police must find it."

On the other hand, the Batman who went to investigate the alien gang bosses in the living **** also gained something. A gang member in a suit collapsed to the ground. He looked at the Batman in front of him with fear, and then said with a trembling voice: "Don't kill me. , don't... I'll tell you everything I know!"

"About...about a few weeks ago, ah, no! More than a week to about two weeks! One of the seven bosses here died, we all call him Kevin the black hand, he is also the boss of the North District, and he is the turf The biggest one..."

"Is this black hand Kevin related to Fish?"

The man hesitated and said, "Yes, in fact, Kevin is a negotiator. Before his gang came to live in hell, he lost a lot of people in a fire and he didn't want to lose any more people, so he was willing to talk to Mu The boss of the Ni Gang sit down and talk..."

"But before they could negotiate, he died."

"How did he die?" Batman asked.

"This... I don't know about this. I just heard that he died outside the living hell. What's going on, you may have to ask the police..."

Then Batman asked, "What happened to the guy named Kevin after he died?"

"How's it going?" The little leader was stunned by his question, and replied instinctively, "What else? He died, and someone else took his place..."

Batman frowned and asked, "Who's going to take his place?"

The little leader thought hard for a while, and said, "I can't remember his name, anyway, that guy seems very smart, it seems that he is the little leader who manages tap water, I heard people say that he can bring Everyone makes money, so he takes Kevin's place..."

Batman's frown deepened, and then he asked a few more questions, but the little leader was not from the Black Hand Johnny's gang, and he didn't know the specific details. The man knocked him unconscious.

Speaking of the water system, Batman thought of Fish's crazy actions before.

Valley

Fish somehow found the core system of the living **** water source purifier, but because Batman patrolled here more frequently, Fish just had this idea, and when he was looking for someone to investigate sneakily there, he was caught. Batman found out, and Batman knocked out the investigator, then added a security system to the water purifier to stop her.

At the time, Batman didn't think about it, but now that I think about it, it doesn't really seem like a tactic that an uneducated gang leader could come up with, and most living **** dwellers don't even know the existence of purifiers.

Even if he could figure it out, how did Fish put it into practice? How does she know where the core of the water purifier is?

Batman had seen Fish's files at Gordon before, and he had also watched Fish for a while. He was very sure that this woman was semi-literate, the kind of person who could misspell long words. He didn't think such a person, Have the ability to follow those complicated pipelines to find the most important core position of purification equipment.

In fact, there are not many people in the whole living **** who have this ability, and Batman speculates that there must be someone who has been advising Fish.

The death of black hand Kevin, Fish's plan to destroy the water purifier, the small boss after Kevin's death...

Several things quickly lined up in Batman's mind.

The most crucial coincidence is that Fish came up with a plan to destroy the water purifier that could not be conceived by herself, and the little boss who took over after Kevin's death happened to be the water management system in the North District. Person in charge, this is not like a mere coincidence. After all, in the whole living hell, there are really too few people who understand the water source system. The possibility of these two identities overlapping is very high.

In Batman's reasoning, the little boss was either originally from Fish, or he betrayed his boss and went to Fish.

He helped Fish to come up with ideas, and Fish helped him kill his immediate boss, so that he could have a bright future, and maybe he would cooperate with the inside and outside, using the knowledge of this little boss to attack the rest of the gangster boss.

Are they ever a partnership? Could Fish's death have something to do with this man? Batman fell into thinking again, but he always felt that there seemed to be other hidden things in these things, which were far from simple.

On the fourth floor of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, Gordon and Victor stood outside the door of the ward. Gordon said with some pity: "This kid is really unlucky, he has experienced a murder case and suddenly has a difficult mental illness. , as a result, relatives were kidnapped again, even in Gotham, such unlucky people are rare."

Victor also sighed and said, "Actually, he's a very smart kid who learns things quickly, but I found out that Gotham is just like that..." He shrugged and said, "A talented person will always meet All kinds of trouble, and then go the wrong way."

"I think Professor Rodriguez can cure him, as he often says, he's not a quack."

Victor turned his gaze into the window on the door, and following his gaze, Schiller circled and walked from one side of the bed to the other, while Cobert was lying on the bed, he was not struggling, He looked numb and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"How was your sleep last night? Mr. Cobot, do you still feel that your muscles are out of control?" Schiller asked while standing by the bed in a white coat, holding a medical record book.

Cobot didn't answer at all, like a stiff and pale puppet lying on the bed in a strange position, not responding to outside sounds.

"It seems that you are not very well." Schiller said standing in the same place: "Most patients will have some sluggish reactions after taking an overdose of tranquilizers, but I don't think you are among them. Your sanity should be very clear now. The disease period is over."

"Why are you unwilling to answer me? Because some of your plans are not going well?"

Cobot suddenly turned his head and stared at Schiller with those eyes deeply embedded in the sockets. Those eyes were a little scary, numb and cold, but Schiller was unmoved.

"Unfortunately, I can't use some magical hypnotism to tell you everything like I did in the movie. Whether it's psychological or psychiatric treatment, if the patient himself is unwilling to cooperate, then hypnosis can't have any effect. Effect."

"Similarly, if you don't cooperate with the treatment, no amount of drugs will help. I am a doctor, not God. If you refuse to answer all questions, God cannot cure you."

Corbett's head moved again, and a hoarse voice like sawing wood came out of his throat, and he said, "Cure... can it be cured?"

Schiller put down the medical record, gave him a strange look, and said, "If you can't cure it, you should be in the crematorium by now."

Cobert's mouth gradually opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and Schiller seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, I forgot, you're not even a college student."

He covered his forehead and said helplessly, "I know that many people with insufficient education call mental illness insane, a terminal illness that can never be cured, but that's not the case."

"Many people don't understand mental illness, so they talk about it, and they are afraid of it, especially this kind of hereditary mental disorder, it will be extremely excited and aggressive when it starts, and it is often regarded as a tiger. For terrible madness."

"But in fact, this is just a symptom of schizophrenia. According to the previous diagnosis, you should belong to catatonic schizophrenia, which often occurs intermittently, with symptoms of stupor at the time of onset, and sometimes turns into a sudden state of hyperactivity. It becomes violent, but after a few hours, it resolves on its own…”

Schiller explained to Cobot patiently: "This type of schizophrenia belongs to a type with a better prognosis, not only can it be relieved on its own, but the treatment effect is also very good. The difficulty is generally the relief of hyperactive behavior, but you I also saw that with tranquilizers, there is a good effect..."

Cobot kept his eyes fixed on Schiller, Schiller's expression did not change, he was telling the truth.

In fact, this is not a difficult disease. Even in the category of schizophrenia, it is relatively common, so his tone has always been very gentle, but it seems to give Cobot some vitality. Adjusting back, trying to adjust my position on the bed, and then asking: "...can be cured...right?"

Schiller nodded and said, "While it's not guaranteed to heal, most of the time it's fine to live a normal life."
