Chapter 170 The Long Easter (Ten)

Batman was on the roof of a building in the West District at this time. He came here to track down the clues of Easter eggs.

The Easter eggs sent by the holiday killer to the gang boss did not leave any specific clues, but he should not send them to Bruce Wayne.

Wayne Manor was surrounded by cameras arranged by Batman, and the two cameras at the main entrance captured a figure.

It was a newspaper boy who delivered newspapers between the South District and the East District. This kind of newspaper boy often traveled between the wealthy areas in the south and the printing factory, and almost no one would notice their existence.

The camera did not capture the face of this newspaper boy, but captured his costume. Finally, Batman found him in a newspaper printing factory in the East District.

This newspaper boy did not know much information. He only told Batman that someone paid them to deliver Easter eggs.

This kind of work is very common among newspaper boys. They often have a fixed gathering point. Some people who need to run errands will go to their gathering point to find them and pay them to deliver something to others.

This group of newsboys are very familiar with the terrain and routes of Gotham, and for the sake of convenience, Gotham people have a convention not to embarrass these errand boys, so many people like to hire them to deliver meals, keys, or beer.

Batman came to the gathering point of the newsboys, and these children described the appearance of the holiday killer in a flurry, but it was useless. When they accepted the order, they didn't care who the owner was. As long as they were sure that the goods to be delivered were not dangerous goods that would be robbed, they would accept any order. There were too many people coming every day, and no one could remember the specific appearance.

However, one of the more clever newsboys provided an important clue. He said that he smelled a chemical agent on the person who hired them, which was a bit like gunpowder.

Following this clue, Batman investigated all the chemical plants in Gotham City.

There are actually many chemical plants in Gotham City, but they also have to be divided into large and small. After experiencing the disaster of flooding and freezing, most of the small chemical plants have stopped production, and only a few production lines can continue to operate.

There were only four or five chemical plants that could operate normally. The investigation did not take Batman too much time. Finally, he set his sights on a chemical plant in the West District.

This chemical plant is located underground in the West District. It is small and has few production lines. Their assembly lines are not advanced, and the products they produce are not important. Logically, it should be closed with other small chemical plants.

Moreover, after the disaster, almost all the underground buildings in Gotham were destroyed, and this underground chemical plant was almost buried. The buildings were severely damaged, more than half of them collapsed, and most of the production lines were paralyzed, but even so, there were still traces of human activities nearby.

What kind of goods must be produced at this time?

After prying open the lock of the back door, Batman walked in through the crack of the door. He put on night vision goggles and saw chaos in the chemical plant.

A part of the southeast corner collapsed, and there were ruins all over the ground. Many boxes were pressed under the wall, and some mucus flowed out. The night vision goggles could not see what the mucus was, so he moved closer.

Soon, Batman smelled a foul smell. He walked closer and saw that the boxes were full of smashed goose eggs. The yolk and egg white flowed all over the floor, and no one dealt with them. They were about to ferment and emit a foul smell.

In the farther place, there were some boxes that were not affected. Batman walked over and saw that there were processed goose egg shells.

Easter eggs are not painted directly on raw goose eggs. The goose eggs selected as Easter egg materials must be processed. If they are not hollowed out, they also need to be soaked with chemical agents to make the surface suitable for painting. If they are hollowed out, some other methods are needed to maintain the hardness of the eggshell.

It seems that the raw materials for the eggs stored here are both kinds, but some of the eggs that have not been hollowed out have been crushed by the fallen wall.

Batman walked up and picked up an eggshell to take a look. This eggshell has been processed, but it has not been painted with patterns. Batman took a few such eggshells and took them back to Wayne Manor for comparison.

There are several different Easter eggs placed in front of the lab table. The first one is the Easter egg sent by the holiday killer that Bruce received. Batman did not touch it, so it did not explode and maintained its complete shape.

Another one is the Easter egg with a smiley face that Schiller painted by himself and gave him. Another one is the unpainted egg shell that Batman brought back from the warehouse.

It is very obvious that the first and third eggs are almost identical, whether it is the size, shape or processing method of the goose egg, they are exactly the same.

In contrast, Schiller obviously just found a goose egg at random, and it doesn’t even look like a goose egg from a farm, but more like a swan egg taken from a nest.

It is not the right size, obviously too small, and it has not been processed in any way. It is directly used for painting. The surface of the eggshell is too smooth and cannot hold the paint, so the smiley face is a little distorted.

In other words, these eggs sent to gang bosses and upper-class people are the ones that flowed out of the chemical plant in the West District.

"West District Chemical Plant..." Batman muttered in a low voice. He was suddenly stunned, then quickly left Wayne Manor and drove the Batmobile to the Gotham Police Department.

Gordon was just finishing a busy day and was about to go home after get off work, but he heard a noise in the corner behind him. He didn't even need to look and said, "What's wrong, Batman?"

"The tape from last time..."

"Tape? Oh, you mean the tape of Schiller's phone records, right? That's in the evidence room, but the staff there are off work..."

As soon as Gordon finished speaking, Batman had disappeared. Gordon shook his head. He thought it would be a good idea to keep that kind of dangerous goods for this weirdo, just in case someone couldn't hold back their curiosity and insisted on hearing it one day.

Batman came to the dark evidence room. He found the tape and put it into the recorder. After a rustling noise, Schiller's voice rang again: "Their goods from Plantation No. 9 are gone." It's Old Wilkin's Road, which is the route that passes through the three streets of the East End..."

Batman twisted the button on the recorder and fast forwarded a section: "Are you worried about this? No need to. As far as I know, the underground chemical plant in the West End is also Falcone..."

"...The family business, after the godfather handed it over to Evans, started to sell goods from Elizabeth Street, but later, it was closed for a long time due to poor management. You don't have to worry that the godfather will care about such a small profit. …”

"Chemical plant? Evans? Evans Falcone..." Batman's voice rang in the dark room.

At this moment, Batman's phone rang sharply. After he answered the call, Copot's voice came from inside: "...Evans!! It's Evans!!!! He has a knife... He wants to kill I... No, he's not... Ahem... Go, go to Gotham Cathedral and stop him..."

Batman looked up and looked out the window. At this time, a bright moon hung high in the sky.

When Batman arrived at Gotham Cathedral, Evans seemed to be waiting for him.

Evans stood at the crack in the center of the cathedral, watching the light surge inside the crack. Batman smelled a smell that made him dizzy, like evaporated high-alcohol.

He fell down from the window and stood in front of Evans. Evans ignored him, but half-knelt on the ground, staring straight at the crack.

"Who are you?" Batman asked.

"Who am I? Don't you recognize me? I am your classmate..."

"You're not Evans."

The person opposite sneered and said, "Don't mention that name to me. It's just an impostor. I am the real Falcone."

"Are you his second personality?"

"No, he is my second personality."

The person opposite stood up. His blond hair turned a bit strange in the moonlight. He showed the cold expression that Evans never showed. He said: "I said, I am Falco." Inside, Alberto Falcone.”

"Then you are his second personality."

Alberto was a little irritated. He frowned and narrowed his eyes. His green eyes contained anger. His voice was very low and sounded completely different from Evans.

"I've always been Alberto!"

"Isn't Alberto dead?"

"Haha... That farce really deceived a lot of people." Alberto sneered and said, "Am I dead? No, of course not, it was just a fool who replaced me."

"It seems like this should be a long story, but it doesn't matter..." Batman took out the Batarang from his waist and said, "Tonight is Easter Night. It should be a long night. You can think about it slowly."

"You should be the festival killer, right?"

"That's right, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Batman threw something at Alberto. Alberto dodged to the side warily, then turned around and saw that it was a broken easter egg.

"Damn, are you kidding me?"

"No. This was an Easter gift given to you by someone, but now it's broken, but that's because you didn't catch it, it has nothing to do with me."

"Don't try to interfere with me with this little trick. I have achieved my goal and no one can stop me."

"Really? You call yourself a holiday killer, but you didn't kill anyone on Easter. The only principal you killed, Seldon, had rough methods of committing the crime and many flaws."

Batman always makes people very irritated when he says this kind of words in his smooth tone without any fluctuation.

"Do you think you are very smart? Wearing a tight suit and pretending to be some kind of superhero?"

"But at least I found you, oh, no...it wasn't me who found you, but that humble Cobot."

Speaking of Copot, Alberto seemed really angry. He said: "That damn boy, he almost ruined my plan..."

"So, you failed? Faced with a short and thin poor boy, the first person you wanted to kill on Easter, you still failed to kill him despite being fully prepared. "

"I didn't want to kill him at all. If he hadn't given Evans those stupid ideas, I wouldn't have done anything to him. He is completely unimportant!"

"That's why I said that your methods are rough and have many flaws. Anyone can see that Cobot is a dangerous person."

"Yeah..." Alberto sneered: "A poor little man who lost his father doesn't know yet that his father's death was not a coincidence."

Then, as if he was venting something, he said, "Funeral? Yes, I died, and many people attended my funeral."

He looked up at the window above the cathedral. The moonlight was like a curtain that was spilled in, gently covering the statue of Jesus. This suffering Son of God shed his blood for the betrayer. In this cold night full of suffering, only the moonlight was willing to add clothes for him.

"But tonight, I will be resurrected, and I will live forever."
