Chapter 2998 The green trees are dense and the summer is long (32)
Schiller was sitting on the bed in the dark and cold prison, holding a black umbrella in his hand. He didn't look for any evidence at all. He just took his umbrella back when he went out.
The process of him being taken away was really lackluster. It was nothing more than a car parked in front of him. He was told that he had to cooperate or die. Schiller chose to cooperate, but they didn't seem to notice the weirdness of the umbrella at all. They were just using it.
After he was imprisoned, he placed the umbrella by the passage on this floor.
Schiller kept sitting there after taking back the umbrella. Soon, the elevator stopped at this floor again, and a group of people walked down cursing. Soon, a person was thrown into the cell next door.
There was a wall between the two cells. Schiller couldn't see the other's appearance, but he could guess who the other was. But before he could speak, the man turned over and said.
"Were you also arrested by them? You must believe me. I am not crazy. They want me to admit that I am a mental patient. In this way, my testimony will be invalid. But you must believe me. I am really not crazy.
Crazy! I saw what they did!"
"Who are you?" Schiller asked.
"I...if I told you, maybe you wouldn't help me." came a female voice from the other side. She didn't sound very old and had a clear Gotham accent. She should be a local.
"You tell me first."
"My surname is Rich...but I have nothing to do with the gangster surnamed Rich. To be precise, we are distant relatives, but he hasn't done anything to help us, and I haven't done anything like gangsters. You must
Believe me!"
The other party has been emphasizing the need to believe her, which proves that there were probably very few or almost no people who believed in her before.
"Richie..." Schiller repeated the last name. He felt that it was somewhat familiar, but it should have happened a long time ago.
"Yes, I am a branch of that gangster family, but that is not important. What is important is that my sister was killed by them! Because she witnessed their devilish behavior, they killed her!"
"who are they?"
"Of course they are the ones who kidnapped you here!" The other party raised his voice and said, "Before they kidnapped you, someone must have contacted you. Don't tell me you don't know who they are!"
"I really don't know."
The other party seemed to hate the iron. She hammered the ground hard, and then said: "Everyone says that I am a mental patient, but I know that I am not! They slander me because they want me to go to a mental hospital! In this way, I
My sister’s death and the evil things they did will never come to light again!”
Schiller could tell from her words that she should be well-educated and at least know some grammar. This proved that she had a good family background before, and she said that she was a branch of the former gangster family.
"I may not be able to get out alive, but I think you should be very important to them. If you can, you must expose them, otherwise more children will be harmed!"
"child?"
"Yes, they are a gang, a gang that specializes... in killing children! My sister happened to... and was killed by them! She sent me a distress signal before she died, so I knew
…”
"How did she send you a distress signal?"
“Use text messages!”
"Where's the text message?"
"I was deleted when they found out."
"You won't investigate privately, will you?"
"I just want to know what happened to my sister! She is not allergic to chicory at all! I saw her eat this dish more than once at home, how could she die of allergy?!"
"It seems that you are really crazy." Schiller said calmly: "Maybe you have never understood your sister, and all this is your imagination."
The other party stopped talking, but what she conveyed was not a feeling of frustration. She seemed to have no intention of giving up at all.
Sure enough, after a while, Schiller heard the click of the lock on the other side, and the lock was quickly picked open, but the other party went out and walked around for a while before coming back.
Schiller didn't feel strange at all, because there was actually nothing on this floor, or in other words, where there might be clues, ordinary people couldn't enter at all, and the elevator couldn't start. If not for this, he wouldn't have had to put in so much effort.
Get the Scarlet Witch over here.
In order for the kidnappers to confuse Barbara with Wanda, Schiller also spent a lot of effort, but fortunately, they are very similar, there is not much difference in body shape, and more importantly, they both have long red hair.
As long as you are not close, you will mistake them for the same person.
Schiller first went to the police station to draw everyone's attention to Gordon. As he told Gordon, the mastermind behind the scenes would feel that scholars like Schiller would not be able to find anything deep even if they wanted to investigate.
, but an old sheriff like Gordon who has worked in Gotham for so many years is a greater threat.
Precisely because the other party has no bottom line, after learning about Gordon's iron-fisted style, they will place their hopes on kidnapping his family to force him to compromise, and naturally they will arrange for manpower to be watched near Gordon Manor.
The purpose of their surveillance was to determine how many people were in Gordon Manor and what the defense strength was, so Schiller hired a courier to deliver a courier to Gordon Manor.
According to Schiller's understanding, Wanda is a restless person. She buys groceries, cooks, cleans the house, takes care of the yard, and delivers express delivery all by herself. Not only does she not feel tired, but she also enjoys it. She is born with a family.
Housewife's Eucharist.
Sure enough, as soon as the express delivery was delivered, Wanda ran out to get it herself. This would give the following group of people the illusion that Mrs. Gordon was the only adult in the manor at this time.
In their opinion, a person who can live in such a manor will not come out to get things personally as long as there are other people in the house. Since she went out to get the express delivery by herself, there must be no one else.
As soon as they pass this news back, the mastermind behind the scenes will immediately realize that this is a good time to take action, so they will ask their subordinates to take action.
After all, the mastermind behind the scenes is not a gangster family, and does not have its own killer team, or in other words, the team is not just professionals. For this kind of stalking work, street gangsters are hired to do it.
The street gangsters were locals, and they had seen Barbara in and out of Wayne Manor before she gave birth. But precisely because they were low-life gangsters, they did not dare to approach the local police chief, given their courage.
house, so even if I saw Barbara, it was from a long distance and I couldn't see her face clearly. I could only confirm that she was a red-haired woman.
Wanda also happens to be a red-haired woman, and she also happens to be walking out of the manor. When the group of kidnappers arrive, the gangsters will naturally identify them and say that Wanda is Mrs. Gordon.
Just when they were thinking about how to break into the manor and kidnap people out, Wanda came out on her own.
As the saying goes, an opportunity cannot be missed and it will never come again. Seeing this great opportunity, they hit her head-on. These people tied up Wanda without any care.
After all, who else could be the beautiful red-haired woman living in Gordon Manor? Even if it wasn't Mrs. Gordon, but Mrs. Gordon's sister, then he would still be saved.
But they didn't expect that Wanda was not only unrelated to Gordon, but she was also the Scarlet Witch. More importantly, she had been promoted from an angry woman to an angry mother, and her power had become even higher.
What Schiller said to Wanda was just to stimulate her so that she could find the truth. Those very strict defense measures for ordinary people are a piece of cake for the Scarlet Witch. There is no place she can't go here.
.
Although Schiller didn't know what these people were hiding here, he could probably imagine how mentally polluting that scene was.
Wanda would definitely feel very angry. Maybe it would be best to wipe out all these people and blow up this place.
In this way, the matter is completely settled, and Schiller no longer has to run around in temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius, and can go home with peace of mind and blow on the air conditioner.
As a result, Schiller sat here and waited and saw nothing happened. He saw a red light flash past, but did not hear any screams. The building was not destroyed, and no one seemed to disappear.
What's going on? Can Scarlet Witch change her gender?
Schiller waited for a long time and found that there was no movement. He sighed in his heart. These people from Marvel are just unreliable. No one plays according to the routine. In the end, he has to do it himself!
"Do you want to avenge your sister?" Schiller suddenly asked.
Miss Ritchie next door immediately fell silent, and it took a long time before she spoke: "Did you know? My mother had mental problems. When I was about 5 years old, she went completely crazy, and my father died in a gang fire."
After all, I was almost raised by my sister, otherwise I wouldn’t be so obsessed with finding the truth.”
"Whether you believe it or not, I will definitely avenge her." Miss Rich's tone revealed grief and anger, she said: "But I can't see that damn man at all. I know that he was the one who united with those people.
Slandering me as a mental patient..."
Miss Ritchie kept saying these things in circles, and Schiller thought she might be suffering from anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behavior, but that didn't really matter.
Schiller could feel that she was one of those rare people who would not despair. To put it bluntly, she was called stubborn, and to put it nicely, she was determined to be strong-willed.
"I can help you get out, or even find someone to help you, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What?"
"Before that, let me ask you a question first, how do you want to take revenge?"
"Kill that bastard of course!"
"Is that all?"
"What if?"
"Have you seen your sister's body?"
"No, they didn't let me see it at all." Miss Rich's tone revealed sadness as she said: "I don't believe she died of allergies and asked the forensic doctor to re-examine, but no one listened to me at all."
"Where is her body buried?"
"I don't know, no one is willing to tell me."
"Can you find your sister's belongings? It's best to keep them with you at all times."
"Of course. I have her favorite toy bear. She has been sleeping with it since she was a child. Unfortunately, after she got married, that bastard wouldn't let her take it with her, so she kept it at home."
"Very good. After you leave, take this thing and go to Arkham Asylum to find Dr. Brand. He knows what to do."
"what you up to?"
Schiller was silent, and Miss Rich knocked on the wallboard and said, "Don't keep silent, don't treat me like a madman."
"I'm just worried that you think I'm crazy."
"I won't. Even if you can't help me in the end, if you are willing to treat me as a normal person and talk to me, I am already very grateful to you. I haven't had a normal conversation with others for a long time."
Schiller felt that Miss Ritchie's mental state was actually somewhat abnormal. She was obviously excited, spoke quickly, and her articulation was not clear. It could be heard from her pronunciation that she was trembling a bit.
Schiller suspected that she might indeed have a hereditary mental illness, but it just didn't develop. No wonder Williams was willing to let him see her in the first place. No normal psychiatrist would rule out the possibility that she suffered from mental illness.
"Brand will help your sister summon the spirit."
"spiritualism?!"
"Yes, don't you want to know the real cause of your sister's death?"
"I……"
"If you don't know, how can you know how much pain she suffered before she died, and how can you talk about revenge against the murderer?"
"...Okay, I will go." Miss Rich gritted her teeth and said, "How do I get out of here now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something sticking out from the railing next door. Richie hurried to the railing and looked down, and found that it was a black umbrella.
