In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 157: Party and Umbrella (End)

"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Coppert looked around for a week. He first looked at the gun on Gordon's waist, then at the cold aura around Batman that hadn't dissipated, and then at his broken bones that hadn't healed and was still tied in the The right arm on the armrest of the hospital bed, 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.

Accompanied by Copperpot's voice, the mystery is gradually revealed. My father, Old Coppert, used to be the head of one of the four major families in the East District, the Copott family. At that time, the East District was still very prosperous, and the four major families controlled dozens of streets in the entire East District. Among them, the most central street, Even on Green Street next to Living Hell, our old house was once spacious and luxurious.

I've heard Bullock mention this history. Gordon leaned on the table and said: But what does that have to do with you killing an innocent umbrella maker

Innocent, he is not innocent!

Coppert snorted coldly and said, then, you should also know that a few years ago, the old umbrella general Wiggin was the only handmade umbrella maker in Gotham City.

Until now. Gordon looked at Schiller and said: This kind of occupation does not require too many people, and few people will spend a lot of money to buy a handmade umbrella.

But at that time, the gangsters in the East District would go to the Weijin Umbrella Shop to order a handmade umbrella.

You may think that this is just a pursuit of handmade products, or to show your status...

Isn't that so? Because of the long production cycle, slow speed, and small output, handmade products will be fired at high prices, but in fact, its quality is not better than mechanically produced products. Batman also set his sights on Schiller.

Coppert shook his head and said: You don't understand. My father also went to Viking Umbrella Shop to order an umbrella, but the umbrella maker defaulted on the contract, he took my father's money, but didn't give him the umbrella on time, so my father got caught in the rain and died of pneumonia...

This is ridiculous! Gordon looked at Cobblepot like a madman and said: You can't say that you killed the umbrella maker to avenge your father, right

He stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, I admit, it's his fault that the old umbrella maker took the money but didn't deliver the goods on time, but your father just waited for this umbrella and didn't get this umbrella, so he didn't get it." I'd rather get in the rain than hold an umbrella

Coppert stared sullenly at Gordon and said: That's why I said you don't understand anything.

Who said my father did not bring an umbrella when he went out, but those umbrellas were useless.

Gordon looked at Cobblepot like he was looking at a madman, but Copott didn't care. He closed his eyes, as if he was remembering something, and said: My father knows something that others don't know. Having looked into these things, it is something I cannot describe...

Then he opened his eyes, looked firmly into Gordon's eyes and said: There is something wrong with the rain in Gotham.

This is what he told me, when you need an umbrella for the rainy days in Gotham, you'd better buy one from Viking Umbrella Store, otherwise it's useless.

Gordon frowned and asked in confusion: What do you mean? You mean... only the umbrellas sold in the Viking Umbrella Store can block the rain in Gotham. What is the theory that the umbrellas produced by the factory are better than those handmade umbrellas What's the difference? Don't you just need to block your body?

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

Copper nodded and said: I don't know if you have heard that not everyone can buy the umbrellas in the Viking Umbrella Store, some people can buy them, but some people can't.

This means that someone wants some people to be protected from the rain and others to be exposed to the rain.

But what is the meaning of this? Gordon still didn't understand. The issues they talked 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 buy an umbrella, but he still got caught in the rain

I don't know. Coppert replied very simply: All I know is that on the day he was supposed to receive the umbrella, he didn't get it, but something forced him to go out. He knew in his heart that it might be dangerous, but he Still had to go.

What is that?

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

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 should have been mine, my father paid for it, but he never received it and paid with his life for it.

Schiller frowned, and he and Batman looked at each other again. Obviously, both of them thought of the same thing.

So, you killed the Umbrellasmith just to avenge your father. Gordon asked Cobblepot.

Before Coppert replied, Batman said: No, he is not, he is not for revenge.

Gordon looked back at Batman, before he could ask, Schiller poked Gordon with the umbrella in his hand and said: Don't ask, you just need to know that he is absolutely perfect in revenge. The experts on the line.

Then he turned to Cobblepot and said: You are indeed not a personality with vengeful qualities. In your opinion, what can bring you tangible benefits is more important.

Coppert breathed out through his nose and said: Yes, I am 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

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

Curse 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 conscious and kept calling for help.

Finally, on the eve of her madness, she said to me, umbrella, take back the umbrella, you must bring the umbrella.......

I have known about my father's research for a long time, but until then, I realized that his death was probably not just an accident, he became the one who was abandoned, did not get the umbrella, If you don't keep out the rain, you can't survive.

My mother is crazy. Whenever I tell her anything about my father, she will start to twitch and hide in fear, unable to say anything useful.

You suspect that your father and mother may know something, so one was killed and the other was cursed, right

,"

Did your father tell you there was a problem with the rain in Gotham Batman asked Copperpot.

He mentioned it, but more importantly, I corroborated it all. Coppert tried his best to get up straight from the bed, and he said: You group of upper-class people and rich people will not find the changes in the living hell.

Didn't you notice that the order there has improved a lot?

Of course I did. Gordon said: The frequency of homicides there is much lower because people's living conditions are better...

Stop talking nonsense, are there not enough rich and bad guys in Gotham? well.

It's different now, after the renovation is completed, their drinking water has to go through the water purifier buried in the ground... That's the crux of the problem. Cobblepot looked at Schiller and said: I don't know any psychological theories, but I know that a person's bad habits are difficult to change. If all the residents of the living **** are born with bad species, then the improvement of living conditions , and it is impossible to change them so completely.

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 gangsters, they are obviously much more normal.

You think it's because Gotham rainwater might have gotten into their drinking water before Batman asks.

That's right, actually, with the help of Fish, I tried to investigate the water purifier several times, but failed. The thing is too complicated, and I can't figure it out just based on some descriptions of its appearance. How the **** does it work.

Schiller looked at Batman, and he could see that Batman was thinking. As a time traveler, he knew that this might be the truth. At least as mentioned in some comics, the reason Gotham is so chaotic is because there are Specific substances drive people crazy.

But he cannot say this directly, he must reason. So he knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention, and he said: Let's analyze this logical chain.

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

Assuming this is true, then the umbrella maker Viking has the ability to make an umbrella 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, making an umbrella by hand ~IndoMTL.com~ should be quite slow

There are not many people who buy umbrellas. Copperpot said: He sells so expensive, how many people can afford tens of thousands of dollars ten years ago, and only the top gangsters in the East District can afford, even if he makes a handful a month, one In one year, it is enough to equip all the gang bosses in the East District with an umbrella.

So he is for screening. Batman's voice came: This logic forms a closed loop.

The people behind the scenes used some method to bring Gotham into trouble

The rain of the problem, and then control an umbrella maker to sell useful umbrellas to some people, so that some people can hold umbrellas, while others need to be exposed to rain... What will this lead to

He said to himself: Some people are trying to maintain order, while others are falling into chaos and madness....

99

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

There is only one question left now, who are they? cost.

At this time, Schiller walked to the hospital bed with an umbrella in his hand, looked at Coppert, and he showed a creepy smile, and said:

No wonder they know that I caused all the changes, so they have been eyeing me for a long time.

Coppert stared at him silently, Schiller turned the direction of the umbrella in his hand, then held the middle, handed the handle to Coppert, and said: Mr. Coppert....

It's called the Court of Owls, grab your umbrella and kill 'em.
