Chapter 150 Party and Umbrella (Part 2)

At this time, it was almost dusk, and in the narrow corridor of the Living Hell, only a trace of light could be transmitted through the narrow windows, like a pen dipped in golden paint, drawing a mark on the corridor.

The light penetrated the dark building sharply, and golden threads streaked across Batman's body. He walked through the corridors of living hell until he came to the scene of the crime.

In fact, when he discovered the crime scene, his first reaction was certainly not to call the police. Regardless of whether Gordon was a good policeman or not, Batman did not trust the police from the bottom of his heart.

The reason why he would do this is that there is not only Fish here as a dead person, but also a living person as Oswald Cobblepot. Batman is not illiterate. He saw Cobblepot murmuring and twitching in his coma. Based on his behavior, it was speculated that he might be suffering from a mental illness.

In order to save people, Batman found Gordon and asked Gordon to find Schiller, a psychology expert. Schiller was the only professional counterpart in Gotham.

But now it seems that he saved the wrong person. Batman thinks that this Cobot is not an innocent person who accidentally entered the crime scene. He is probably the mastermind behind Fish.

Of course, Batman easily investigated Copot's resume and found out that he was the little boss who took over after Kevin's death. This was not difficult to find out. In the entire living hell, there are only one person who can read the water meter on one hand. Come on, Cobot performed well in vocational school, of course he was one of them, and he happened to appear at the scene of Fish's death. The living hell is so big, it can't be a chance encounter, right?

When he walked into the crime scene again, Batman looked around more carefully.

This is a small room in the North District of Living Hell. Like all the rooms here, it is narrow in size and has a strange structure. The only window faces west, and the sun that is about to set appears outside the window frame.

This small room with windows is the living room of the whole room. With such a small apartment, there is no need to pay attention to the entrance. As soon as you push the door, you come to the living room.

On the left side of the living room is the sofa against the wall, which is stained with a pool of blood. Batman doesn't care that the crime scene has been touched. His excellent memory allows him to remember every detail of the time. Here, in his sight, Fish's body returned to the sofa.

Her body fell on the sofa, tilted to the side of the door, and her head rested on the back of the sofa. She was shot in the temple on the left side of her head. Blood spattered to the right side of the sofa, and some dripped on the ground on the right side. The whole person was tilted to the right, and he was obviously killed by a bullet while sitting on the sofa.

Batman turned his head and looked to his right. Cobot's figure also appeared in the room, but he fell under the window sill. His teeth kept chattering and his limbs were twitching.

Batman walked further inside and stood in the center of the room. Then, within his field of vision, time in the room began to flow backwards. The blood stains on the floor and sofa floated back to Fish's head. A bullet Flying out of Fish's head in a reverse spin, Fish sat up straight and returned to the living state. The bullet stopped next to her left temple.

Cobot also stood up like a puppet, standing hunched in front of the window, facing Fish.

Batman stepped across the coffee table to Fish's side, then leaned against the left side of her cheek and stared at the bullet.

When observing Fish's body in the morgue, Batman discovered that the bullet entered Fish's temple very accurately. Judging from the wound, the angle of entry of the bullet was perpendicular to the temple.

"God's Coming"

In an instant, Fish disappeared, Batman sat on the sofa, and the bullet that killed Fish stopped next to Batman's head.

Time began to flow, and the bullet whirled into Batman's temple, blood splattered on the sofa and the floor.

Another Batman stood up from the sofa and half-knelt down to observe the blood stains. He discovered that this was indeed Fish's first death scene. Her body had not been moved, and the shape and range of the blood stains were reasonable. of.

After confirming that this was the death scene, Batman turned around and time went back to the second before Fish was shot, and Fish appeared on the sofa again.

Batman walked up behind her and looked over from his perspective. Cobot in front of the window disappeared.

Suddenly, Batman turned his head to the left and saw Cobot standing on the left side of Fish, in front of the door leading from the living room to the bedroom, holding a pistol with a ferocious expression and aiming at Fish.

In an instant, Batman appeared at Cobot's position, holding the pistol that was floating in the air because of Cobot's disappearance. He said to himself: "That's not right."

Because at this time, Fish turned his head, seeming very surprised and angry.

"With only two people in the house, it was impossible for Cobot's actions to be hidden from Fish's eyes. Once he raised his gun, Fish would definitely look at him."

Batman pulled the trigger and the bullet flew out, hitting the front of Fish's forehead instead of the left temple.

He let go and returned to the middle of the living room. Cobot appeared again. As time went back, the bullet returned to Cobot's gun.

Then, like a movie playing in reverse, Cobot took a few steps back and retreated into the bedroom. The bedroom door closed with a bang.

Batman walked over and reopened the door, and then he discovered that the door opened toward the bedroom, with the door hinge on the left.

Batman walked in and stood in Cobblepot's position. He pulled the door handle with his left hand, and the moment he opened the door, he raised his right hand and shot. Fish was unaware and did not turn his head. In an instant, the bullet shot into Fish's temple.

But Batman shook his head again.

The reason why this inference can succeed is that the person who shot was him, Batman.

The door opened inwards. To open it, you must hold the door handle and pull it inward. If you want to open the door and shoot instantly, you must not hold the gun with both hands.

If the person who shot was Batman, then he might be able to open the door instantly, and then hold the gun with one hand and shoot the bullet into Fish's temple accurately, but this is because he is Batman.

And if the person who shot was not Batman, it would be very difficult to hold the gun with one hand and ignore the recoil, and complete the series of actions of aiming, shooting, and hitting accurately in an instant.

Moreover, the door hinge is on the left side and it opens from the right first, so the fastest action is to pull the door handle with the left hand and shoot with the right hand the moment the door opens, but Batman has checked that Cobblepot's right arm is broken, and it is not a new injury.

For such a thin person who has not undergone any professional training and whose dominant hand is broken, it is difficult to complete the actions of opening the door, shooting, aiming, and shooting within two seconds.

Even if he can complete it, it is impossible not to attract Fish's attention, at least it is impossible to make Fish completely unable to turn his head.

One Batman is standing at Cobblepot's position with a gun, another Batman is sitting on the sofa, and another Batman is standing in the middle of the room. The fourth Batman is standing on the windowsill, the fifth is standing in the bedroom, looking up and down, and the sixth is standing at the door and staring at everything...

Countless Batman figures fill this small crime scene, sometimes they are still, and sometimes they are active in different timelines.

The bullet flew out of the gun, causing ripples in the air, and soon retreated back into the barrel. The light in the room changed from bright to dark, and then from dark to bright. The fire from the muzzle flashed again and again, and the dark figure left countless afterimages in the room. In this quiet dusk, the lone Batman had a lively party with himself.

Not long after, almost all traces of activities in this small room were investigated by Batman. He tried all possibilities and ruled out most of the methods of committing the crime, such as Cobblepot sneaking in various ways and from various angles, or Fish being knocked unconscious by drugs, tied up and restricted in movement, etc.

From various traces, it can be determined that Fish walked into the room very soundly and sat on the sofa. Cobblepot followed her in, and it was impossible to sneak attack without attracting her attention.

But this does not mean that Cobblepot is not the murderer.

Batman put everything back to the starting point. He stood in the center of the living room and looked around.

The whole scene became a room model, which was placed on the table. A huge hand held a model of a black figure and put it into the bedroom.

Above the whole room model, Batman lowered his head and stared at the whole scene from above with great concentration. As he looked, the room gradually expanded in his field of vision. Batman, who was standing in the middle of the living room, walked into the bedroom and looked at the black figure model.

If a third party was added to this murder, everything would become logical.

Time began to go back again, the bedroom door was closed, and Cobblepot stood opposite Fish, that is, in front of the window.

Fish was still sitting on the sofa, waving her arms, and seemed to be very angry at Cobblepot. Cobblepot held his neck and hysterically retorted, and Fish was completely enraged by him.

Fish, who was completely attracted by Cobblepot's attention, did not notice that the bedroom door, which was not closed tightly, was quietly opened. Then, a gunshot was heard, blood splashed, and Fish fell on the sofa.

No, this is not perfect either. Batman thought that even if Cobblepot attracted Fish's attention, Fish's vigilance was not bad, and he might not fail to notice that the bedroom door was opened.

Batman changed his mind. He thought that if he was the murderer, he would not make such a plan. It was not reliable to expect Fish not to notice the killer and not resist.

You know, Fish was not in this position today for nothing. This woman is very good at fighting, has quick reactions, and is good at shooting, so she can survive from one fight after another and become a leader.

Once she resists, even a professional killer may suffer. People who know Fish will not make such a plan.

Then there is only one possibility left. Batman whispered: "Acquaintances cooperate in the case."

Batman stood on one side of the room and saw that there were two figures in the room. They were talking to Fish. Originally, they both stood in front of Fish and had no weapons in their hands.

Soon, Cobblepot attracted Fish's attention with a few words, and the other black shadow walked to Fish's side under the pretext of taking something.

Cobblepot and Fish had an argument, and Fish's attention was completely attracted by Cobblepot.

Instantly, time stopped, and Batman replaced the shadow standing beside Fish. He reached into his coat pocket, touched the pistol, pulled out the gun, raised his hand, and shot. With a "bang", blood splattered, and Fish fell down.

The distance was very close, the gun was suitable, so it was very accurate.

Instantly, everything returned to reality. There was only dried black blood on the sofa, and Batman was the only person in the room.

He was alone, but he didn't feel lonely at all. He seemed very relaxed. He sat on the sofa, relaxed his upper body, leaned on the back of the chair, and even closed his eyes, like a happy drunk who just came back from a party.

Until the last ray of sunlight fell below the surface, the whole room was completely dark, and the darkness swallowed up Batman's figure. This bat who was partying with himself disappeared from here at some point.
