The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

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

Schiller looked at him too and said, Why are you surprised I'm carrying a gun? This is Gotham.

Victor was also surprised and said, But why did you give it to me when you brought a gun? Don't you know how to shoot?

My marksmanship is inaccurate, so you have to come.

Victor took the gun and muttered, Obviously both of us are foreigners, why do you look like you were born and raised here?

He raised his gun and aimed at the old lock. With a bang shot, the lock sparked and was knocked off. Victor pushed open the window and went in, with Schiller following behind him.

After entering, Victor pointed to the ground and said, Master Detective, it's time for you to perform.

Schiller shook his head and said, Isn't this already obvious? Mrs. Coppert 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 was a pair of rain boots and several other ordinary leather shoes beside 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, a bit like someone's signature. Schiller held the umbrella pointed, and then tapped the ground with the handle of the umbrella.

Victor looked around and said, What are you doing?

No...it's nothing. Schiller picked up the umbrella and returned to the center of the living room. He first walked to the sofa and said, It seems that Mrs. Coppert was dragged away from here.

Then he came to the left of the coffee table. The coffee table of Copperpot's family was made of glass and looked very delicate, which could reflect that their family had some family background.

There was a set of tea sets on the glass coffee table. Schiller picked it up and smelled it. Victor also came over. He put his hands on his hips, leaned down to look at the tea set, and said, Although I don't have much detective experience, I also Can you guess that someone should have drugged it here?

As expected, it should be. Schiller found a stack of newspapers from the side, wrapped the tea cup, 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 of about 20 cm on the ground. Obviously, the sofa was dragged by someone.

He squatted on the ground again and looked towards the living room. There were scattered items on the floor of the living room. It looked like the cabinet had been hit and the things on it fell off.

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

Schiller sighed, and he said, I don't think we need to look any further. Let's go back first. No matter who kidnapped Mrs. Coppert, we have to let the police find it.

On the other hand, Batman, who went to investigate the alien gang bosses in the living hell, also gained something. A gang member in a suit collapsed on the ground. He looked at Batman in front of him with fear, and then said in 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 two weeks! One of the 7 bosses here died. We all call him Blackhand Kevin. He is also the boss of the North District, yes One of the largest...

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 hell, they lost a lot of people in a firefight. He doesn't want to lose more people, so he is willing to fight with Mu. The boss of the gang sat down and talked about...

But before they could negotiate, he died.

How did he die? Batman asked next.

I... 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 again: What happened after the man named Kevin died?

What happened? The little boss was taken aback by his question, and instinctively replied: What else can I do? He died, and someone else took his place...

Batman frowned, and he asked, Who is taking his place?

This and that little leader thought hard and said, I can't remember his name. Anyway, that guy seems very smart. It seems that he turned out to be 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 boss was not a member of the Johnny Mafia gang, and he didn't know the details, so he found that he couldn't ask any more questions, Batman Xia beat him unconscious.

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

Somehow, Fish found the core system of the living hell water source purifier, but because Batman patrols here quite frequently, Fish just came up with this idea, and when he was looking for someone to investigate there secretly, he was caught Batman found out, knocked the investigator unconscious, and then installed a security system on the water purifier to stop her.

At that time, Batman didn't think about it, but now that I think about it, this is actually not like a strategy that an uneducated gangster can come up with. Most living hell residents 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 file with Gordon before, and he had also monitored 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 and find the core location of the most important purification equipment.

In fact, there are not many people in Living Hell who have this ability. Batman speculates that there must be someone who has been advising Fish.

The death of the black hand Kevin, Fish's plan to sabotage the water purifier, the little boss who took over after Kevin's death...

Several things quickly formed a line in Batman's mind.

The most critical coincidence is that Fish came up with a plan to destroy the water purifier that she couldn't have thought up by herself, and the little leader who took over after Kevin's death happened to be the water management system of the North District. Person in charge, this doesn't seem like a mere coincidence. After all, in the 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, this little boss was either Fish's person, or he betrayed his boss and took refuge in Fish.

He helped Fish to make suggestions, and Fish helped him kill his immediate boss, so that he could have a bright future, and maybe he would cooperate internally and externally to use the knowledge of this little boss to attack the rest of the gangsters.

Were they ever a partnership? Could Fish's death have anything to do with this man? Batman fell into thinking again, but he always felt that there seemed to be other secrets hidden in these few 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 and suddenly suffered from a difficult mental illness. , as a result, the relatives were kidnapped again, even in Gotham, such unlucky people are rare.”

Victor also sighed and said: In fact, he is a very smart kid, he learns things quickly, but I found that Gotham is like this... He shrugged and said: A talented person will always meet Get into all kinds of trouble, and then go astray.

I think Professor Rodriguez can cure him, just like what he often said, he is not a quack doctor.

Victor cast his eyes into the window on the door, and following his gaze, Schiller circled and walked from one side of the bed to the other, while Coppert lay on the bed, he was not struggling, He looked numb, staring blankly at the ceiling.

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

Cobblepot didn't answer at all, like a stiff and pale puppet, lying on the bed in a strange posture, and didn't respond to external sounds.

It seems that you are not well. Schiller stood there and said: Most patients will have some sluggish reactions after taking an excessive amount of tranquilizers, but I don't think you are among them. You should be very clear now. The sickness period is over.

You don't want to answer me, why? Because some of your plans are not going well?

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

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

Similarly, if you don't cooperate with the treatment, no matter how much medicine you use, it's useless. I'm a doctor, not God. If you refuse to answer all questions, God can't heal you.

Coppert's head moved again, and a hoarse voice like sawing wood escaped from his throat. He said, Cure... can it be cured?

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

Copperpot's mouth gradually opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. 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 level call mental illness a madness, a terminal illness that can never be cured, but it is not the case.

Many people don't understand mental illness, so they talk about it and fear it like a tiger, especially this kind of hereditary mental disorder. When it starts, it will be extremely hyperactive and aggressive. It is often regarded as a terrible madness.

But in fact, this is just a symptom of schizophrenia. According to the previous diagnosis, you should belong to catatonic schizophrenia. You often have intermittent attacks, with stupor symptoms at the onset, and sometimes turn into a sudden hyperactive state. Behavior It becomes violent, but after about a few hours, it subsides on its own...

Schiller patiently explained to Cobblepot: This type of schizophrenia is a type with a good prognosis. Not only can it be relieved by itself, but the treatment effect is also very good. The difficulty lies in the relief of hyperactive behavior, but you I also saw that the use of tranquilizers has a good effect...

Coppert kept staring at Schiller with his eyes, but Schiller's expression didn't change, he was telling the truth.

In fact, this is not a difficult and miscellaneous disease. Even in the category of schizophrenia, it is relatively common, so his tone has always been calm, but this seems to have given Cobbot some vitality. After adjusting back, I tried to adjust my posture lying on the bed, and then asked: ...can be cured...right?

Schiller nodded and said, Although recovery may not be guaranteed, it is fine to live a normal life most of the time.
