American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 157: Party and Umbrella (End)

Cobot looked around for a week. He first looked at the gun on Gordon's waist, then at the cold aura that still lingered around Batman's body, and then at his broken bone, still tied to the armrest of the hospital bed. right arm, he sighed and said:

\"It is true that I killed the old umbrella maker Viking, but I am not a thief or a robber, this umbrella should have been mine.\"

With the voice of Cobot, the mystery was gradually revealed. \"My father, the old Cobot, used to be the leader of one of the four major families in the East District. At that time, the East District was still very prosperous. The four major families controlled dozens of streets in the entire East District. Among them, the most central one The street is Green Street next to the living **** now, and our old house used to be spacious and luxurious."

\"I heard Brock mention this history.\" Gordon leaned on the table and said, \"But what does that have to do with you killing an innocent umbrellamaker?\"

\"Innocent? He's not innocent!\"

Cobot snorted coldly and said \"Then, you should also know that a few years ago, the old umbrella general Viking was the only handmade umbrella craftsman in Gotham City.\"

\"Until now.\"Gordon looked at Schiller and said:\"This profession doesn't need too many people, and few people will spend a lot of money to buy a handmade umbrella.\"

\"But at that time, the gang bosses in the East District would go to the Weijin Umbrella Shop to customize a handmade umbrella.\"

\"You may think that this is just a pursuit of handicrafts, or to show one's status....

\"Isn't that the case? Because the production cycle of handmade products is long, slow, and the output is small, so they will be fired at high prices, but in fact, their quality is not better than mechanically produced products. \"Batman also put His eyes fell on Schiller.

Cobot shook his head and said: \"You don't understand.\"\"My father also went to the Viking Umbrella shop to order an umbrella, but the umbrella maker broke the contract. He charged my father's money, but he didn't make it on time. Give him the umbrella so my father got caught in the rain and died of pneumonia...

\"This is ridiculous!\" Gordon looked at Cobot like a madman and said: \"Don't you say that you killed the umbrella maker to avenge your father?\"

He stretched out his hand and said: \"Okay, I admit, it's his fault that the old umbrella maker didn't deliver the money on time, but your father just waited for this umbrella?? Didn't get this umbrella, I'd rather get in the rain than bring an umbrella?\"

Cobert stared gloomily at Gordon and said, \"That's why I said you don't know anything.

\"Who said my father didn't go out without an umbrella? He did, but those umbrellas were useless.\"

Gordon looked at Corbett like a madman, but Corbot didn't care. He closed his eyes, as if he was remembering something, and said, "My father knows something that others don't, and he investigates. Been through these things, that's something I can't describe...

Then he opened his eyes, looked into Gordon's eyes with certainty and said, \"There is a problem with the rain in Gotham.\'

\"He told me this, when you have to prepare an umbrella to deal with the rainy weather in Gotham, then you better buy one at the Viking umbrella store, otherwise it will be useless.

Gordon frowned and asked suspiciously: \"What do you mean? You mean...Only umbrellas sold by Viking Umbrella Store can block the rain in Gotham?? What theory is this? What's wrong with those handmade umbrellas? Don't they just need to block the body?"

Schiller and Batman heard a different meaning, they looked at each other, Batman asked: \"You mean, there is a problem with the rain in Gotham, and only the umbrellas sold by Viking Umbrella Store can really block it. The rain?\"

Cobot nodded and said: \"I don't know if you have heard that the umbrellas in the Viking Umbrella Store are not available to everyone. Some people can buy them, and some people can't.\"

\"This means that some people want to keep some people out of the rain, and others want to get in the rain.\"

\"But what's the point of this?\" Gordon never understood that the issues they were talking about were completely inconsistent with his three views, more like some mysterious code.

Schiller put his finger on his chin and asked: \"Then what happened to your father? Why did he get an umbrella, but it was still raining?\"

\"I don't know.\" Cobot replied very succinctly: \"I only know that on the day when he should have received the umbrella, he did not get the umbrella, but there was something that forced him to go out, and he was in his heart. Clearly, this could be dangerous, but he had to go anyway.\"

\"What's that?\"

\"The eldest son of the old godfather died, and my father is going to the funeral.\"

\"Do you think your father died because he didn't have an umbrella to really block the rain?\"

\"That's right, that's why I said, this umbrella was supposed to be mine, my father paid for it, but he didn't receive it, and he gave his life for it.\"

Schiller frowned, and he and Batman looked at each other again, obviously both of them had the same thing in mind.

\"So, you killed the umbrella maker to avenge your father?\" Gordon asked Cobble.

Before Cobert could answer, Batman said, \"No, he's not, he's not out for revenge.\'

Gordon looked back at Batman, and before he could ask, Schiller poked Gordon with his umbrella and said, "Don't ask, you just need to know that he is absolute in terms of revenge. Expert, just do it.\"

Then he turned to Cobot and said, "You are indeed not a vengeful personality. From your point of view, what can bring your own practical benefits is more important."

Cobert breathed out of his nose and said, \"Yes, not for my father, but for my mother.\"

\"That's why I keep asking you, doctor, can this disease really be cured?\"

\"What do you mean?\"

Cobot said gloomily: \"I suspect that my mother's illness may be... a curse.

\"Curse? Explain in detail.

\"Before my mother got sick for the first time, she called for help, I don't remember what she said, but at that time she was awake and calling for help.\"

\"Finally, on the eve of her madness, she said to me, umbrella, get the umbrella back, be sure to bring an umbrella....\'

\"I had known about my father's studies for a long time, but it was only then that I realized that his death was probably not just an accident, he became the one who was abandoned, did not get an umbrella, did not If you block the rain, you can't survive."

\"My mother is insane, as soon as I mention anything about my father to her, she starts to twitch, hides in fear, and can't say anything useful.\"

\"You suspect that your father and mother may have known something, so one was killed and one was cursed, right?

, "

\"Did your father tell you there's something wrong with Gotham's rain?\" Batman asked Copperbot.

\"He mentioned it, but more importantly, I proved it all.\"Cobert tried to straighten up from the bed, he said: \"You high-class people and rich people will not find living **** The change.\"

\"You didn't realize that the order there has become much better?\"

\"Of course I found it.\"Gordon said:\"The frequency of homicides has dropped a lot there because people's living conditions have improved....\"

\"Stop talking nonsense, are there still few rich bad guys in Gotham?\"Cobert interrupted Gordon, he said: \"In the past, the inhabitants of living **** used wells to drink water, you know, it is That open-air well."

\"But now it's different. After the renovation is completed, their drinking water will go through the water purifier buried in the ground...\"\"That's the crux of the problem.\"Cobert looked at Schiller and said:\ "I don't know any psychological theory, but I know that it is difficult to change a person's vices. If all the inhabitants of living **** are born bad, then the improvement of living conditions will not change them. So thorough.\"

\"I have seen with my own eyes how chaotic and crazy the people there are, but since the transformation of Living Hell was completed, they seem to have changed. Although they still follow the gangster's way, they are obviously much more normal.\"

\"You think it's because Gotham's rainwater may have been mixed with their drinking water?\" Batman asked.

\"Yes, in fact, I tried to investigate the water purifier several times with the help of Fish's staff, but it was unsuccessful. It was too complicated, and I couldn't figure it out based on the description of its appearance. How exactly does it work.\"

Schiller looked at Batman, and he saw that Batman was thinking. As a traveler, he knew that this might be the truth. At least it was mentioned in some comics. The reason why Gotham is so chaotic is because there are special substances in the water cycle. Makes people crazy.

But he can't say it directly, he has to reason. So he knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention, he said: \"Let's analyze this logic chain.\"

\"Oswald said that there is a problem with the rain in Gotham, which will change people's characters. The umbrella sold by umbrella maker Viking is the only tool that can effectively cover the rain.\"

\"Assuming this is true, then umbrella maker Viking has the ability to make umbrellas that can withstand this kind of rain, but he sells it to some people and rejects others, what is his purpose?\"

\"Maybe he just can't do it?\" Gordon guessed: \"After all, it should be quite slow to make an umbrella by hand?\"

\"There are not many people who buy umbrellas.\"Cobert said: \"He sells it so expensive, how many people can afford it? Ten years ago, it was tens of thousands of dollars, and there were only a few top-tier ones in the Eastern District. The gang boss can afford it, even if he makes one a month, a year is enough to equip all the gang bosses in the East District with an umbrella.\"

\"So he was screening.\"Batman's voice came:\"\"The logic formed a closed loop. \"

\"The people behind the scenes somehow made Gotham get down.

problem rain, and then take control of an umbrella maker to sell useful umbrellas to some people, so that some people can hold the umbrella, and others will get the rain. . . . What will this lead to?\"

He said to himself: \"Some people are trying to maintain order~www.NovelMTL.com~ while others are in chaos and madness....

\"Or rather...\" Schiller sighed and said: \"One group of people is creating wealth for them, while the other group makes this city never peaceful, forever shrouded in darkness.\"

\"There is only one question left now, who are they?\" Cobblepot's tone is very cold, even if he is not a revenge-driven person like Batman, in the Penguin's eyes, this organization that destroyed his family, also A price must be paid.

At this time, Schiller took the umbrella and walked to the hospital bed. Looking at Cobot, he showed a creepy smile and said:

\"No wonder they knew it was me who caused all the changes, so they've been eyeing me for a long time.\"

Cobert stared at him silently, Schiller turned the umbrella in his hand, then held it in the middle, handed the hand to Cobert, and said: \"Mr. Cobert....\"

\"It's called the Court of Owls, grab an umbrella and kill them.\"
