American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 159: Gotham Avengers (middle)

Last night, just as it was getting dark, Batman was standing on top of the clock tower of Gotham Cathedral, staring out into the dark alley.

The rain in Gotham, the umbrellas in the Viking umbrella shop, the court of owls, the gunshots in the dark alley, the scattered pearl necklaces...

Batman closed his eyes and everything began to line up in his mind, but there were still many obscure details that he needed to investigate and explore.

In the end, he still focused on the Louis who bought the murder.

On the roof of the church bell tower, a shadow jumped down, like a real bat. He passed through countless dark alleys, and between the flickering lights and shadows, he landed on the window of a building's attic.

Looking down from the skylight, the elderly Louis was slumped on the chair. He was completely unable to move, and could only make ends meet by relying on the **** piled around him.

When Batman entered the room, he had no response, his eyes were blind, his ears were deaf, and he was completely unaware that an uninvited guest had entered.

It's a pity that Batman didn't get any clues from him. Louis is too old. He is not only suffering from Alzheimer's disease, but also terminally ill. He may not live for a month. Batman can't ask such a person. Anything, this attic has long been turned into a junkyard by him, and can't find anything useful.

Batman can only change his goal, he came to the old house of the Edward family.

The Edward family used to be one of the four major families in the Eastern District, and it was as famous as the Cobot family, but their family did not decline like the Cobot family, mainly because they had a wharf in their hands, and with the wharf as a guarantee, their ability to resist risks was incomparable. Where have the other families gone.

However, they still could not escape the responsibility of the godfather. Old Edward was dead, and little Edward did not know where he was taken by the godfather. Now the entire old house has been taken over by the Falcone family. However, Falcone did not Not paying attention to this place, Batman was barely hindered and entered the interior of the mansion.

Edward's old house was dark and without any lights, but it couldn't help Batman. After a careful search, Batman finally found what he wanted, an umbrella with a Viking emblem.

In the office of the Arkham Asylum, Batman put the two parts on the table at the same time, then pointed to them and said to Schiller: "Look here, the same burn marks, the damage to your umbrella is not an accident."

Schiller narrowed his eyes, and he realized that Batman was right, the two parts were damaged in exactly the same way, both with burnt threads.

It stands to reason that umbrellas are not firearms or cannonballs. Even if Gotham fights small wars every day, the chance of umbrellas on the battlefield is about zero. Therefore, the most likely way to damage umbrellas is to break the umbrella, loose parts or fall off.

But it is absolutely impossible that a small part of the umbrella rib was burned, causing the entire umbrella to break.

Since Schiller didn't know much about this, when the second half of one of the ribs was cut off, he thought it was just a problem with the connection part, just like a normal umbrella damaged.

But thinking about it now, although it rains every day in Gotham, it’s actually not very windy. The parts at the joints of the umbrella’s ribs are not so stressed, but it’s still completely broken.

Now that the truth is in front of his eyes, the same umbrella made by the same umbrella maker, with the same part damaged in the same way, can only mean one thing—everything was premeditated.

"The Court of Owls is more evil than we thought." Batman's voice was very low, he said: "They didn't want to leave any survivors, everyone in Gotham, whether they didn't buy umbrellas or bought umbrellas. When it comes to the umbrella, in the end there is only one end..."

"And you must have thought of a fact." Schiller looked Batman in the eyes and said, "Old Edward's umbrella is broken, so they are crazy, and no one can say that they bought a murder to kill, not theirs madness."

Batman was silent, he had thought about this problem from the moment he got the umbrella, and Schiller continued to him: "Obviously, you have a new goal, but this goal is also revenge, right ?"

"If it can cost them all, why go after just one?" Batman murmured to himself in a low voice.

"So you're going to join forces with Evans and Cobot to investigate?"

"They want to join forces with me."

"I can understand you and Cobot..." Gordon looked at Batman and said, "After all, you two may have relatives killed, what about Evans? What reason does Falcone Jr. get involved in? Come?"

"According to him, the death of his own brother, Alberto Falcone, was inseparable from the Court of Owls."

Hearing this, Gordon was stunned. He recalled it and said, "Alberto Falcone? This name is a bit familiar. I seem to have heard Harvey say it..."

Then he shook his head again and said, "It seems that everyone is very secretive about the eldest son of the old godfather. Brock just mentioned it to me. I asked him, but he didn't answer."

"Brock told me that this is a name that the old godfather didn't want to mention, and probably because of this, no one else dared to mention him."

"Thinking about it this way, it's really strange." Gordon said suspiciously: "Ten years ago, the Falcone family was even more powerful than it is now, and the heirs at that time should be better protected. People dare to touch him..."

"Except for the court of owls."

"What are you going to do?" Gu Tan

"We formed a temporary alliance to investigate this mysterious organization from different classes in Gotham."

Batman's tone finally changed slightly, and he could hear his helplessness: "When I started to investigate, I found out that they were hiding too deep, even if I used my power to rummage through the entire Tan Shi did not find any useful clues.

Both Schiller and Gordon knew that he was referring to the power of the Wayne Group. With the size of the Wayne Group in Gotham, they couldn't find any organization they tried their best to find, which shows how deep the Court of Owls was hiding.

"So I have to use the power of some other people." Batman explained: "Cobot is a criminal, but if he kills the people of the Court of Owls, then I am also willing to temporarily join forces with him, he is the bottom of Gotham. Very understanding, or some details, are hidden in these dark corners."

"The Falconer family has ruled Gotham's underworld for so many years, and every gang member is their eyeliner. Evans may also be able to dig out different clues."

"When we work together to find our goal, the alliance ends here, and I don't need anyone to help me get my revenge."

"So what are you going to call this league? Even if it's temporary, it should have a name, right?" Gordon asked Batman.

Batman was silent for a while, Schiller suddenly had a bad feeling, and then he heard Batman say: "I'm going to call it the Avengers..."

"Wait!" Schiller interrupted him, saying: "I advise you to think about it again, this name is not very auspicious..."

Batman looked at Schiller, Schiller's expression was weird, Batman paused for a while, and then said: "The name is just a code name, I never believe in anything..."

"But the last organization with this name split in half before it was active for a long time."

"We are not a group in the first place. I have no intention of forming a team with them. This is just a temporary alliance. As for the name..." Batman paused for a while and said, "Each of us has a relationship with the Court of Owls. Qiu, so we are all Avengers, so the name is Avengers, what's the problem?"

Batman saw Schiller showing a complex expression he had never seen before, and then he heard Schiller muttering in a low voice: "Those who don't listen will have no good end..."

At the same time, in the ward next door to the office, Evans watched Corbot tinkering with an umbrella.

"What are you doing?" Evans was a little curious. He sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his head to ask. Cooper didn't raise his head, but just replied a few words perfunctorily: "I want to make a weapon."

"Weapon?" Evans was even more puzzled. He asked, "Using an umbrella as a weapon? Can't you just use a gun?"

Cobert completely ignored him, he had had enough of Evans these days.

If Cobot's experience in the past few days is written into an article, the title should be "How to get along with a person I totally dislike and quite annoying".

Cobot had already told Schiller that he despised his godfather's son, little Falcone, and thought he was a total idiot, but when the idiot and him were transferred to the same ward, he found out , little Falcone is not only stupid, but also annoying.

Unlike Batman, Evans has a more lively personality and talks a lot. He is not sick himself, but just came to hide for leisure. He was in good condition when he was hospitalized, and he had no self-consciousness of the patient at all. Chat with him.

At first, Cobot was willing to chat with him in order to obtain some information about the Falconer family, but later, Cobot found that Evans did everything, just didn't do business.

Evans has a wide range of hobbies. He is proficient in art, can paint, vocal music and many musical instruments. Among them, he is best at violin. He is very good at cello. It's okay to practice voice in the ward.

But when it comes to family business, Evans is, according to Cobblet, an idealistic idiot.

After chatting with Evans for a few days, Cobot didn't gain anything except to improve the knowledge of music theory that was useless in Gotham, so in the next few days, he was too lazy to talk to Evans again.

Evans stood up, walked to Cobot, looked at him busy, and after a while, he asked a question: "It looks like you can't transform this umbrella~www.NovelMTL.com~ Do you need any help?"

"No, I don't need it." Cobert pulled the umbrella rib forcefully, and a part flew out with a "whoosh". Evans covered his face with a "whoosh" scream, and he said loudly, "Hey! You It was intentional, be careful!"

"Damn..." Cobble swears, "There's something wrong with this umbrella."

He picked up the whole umbrella, looked at it, and said, "What material is this thing made of? Why doesn't welding and cutting work on it?"

Evans leaned over and touched the umbrella bone. He frowned and said, "This doesn't seem to be something like steel. I always feel a little familiar..."

"Familiar?" Cobert turned to look at him and asked, "Where have you seen this kind of thing?"

Evans touched his chin and said while thinking, "I can't remember exactly, but I should have seen it, but if you can't modify this metal, then it shouldn't be a weapon."

Cobot didn't answer. He stared at the umbrella silently, as if thinking about something.
