Gotham Laugher

Chapter 15 Exposed? (five more)

"Walder, what's the matter, I'm in such a bad mood today." Childe asked while putting food into his mouth.

Normally, this elder brother wouldn't talk to him, but today he didn't know why he suddenly talked to him.

Oswald smiled politely.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"Uncomfortable, hehe, yes, that bird is chirping all day long, and I can't sleep well." Field muttered.

Oswald was used to this kind of muttering on weekdays.

But at this time, he was inexplicably a little irritable.

"I'll go back to my room first, and I'll let Reese bring the dinner to my room later." After speaking, Oswald got up and left.

What did Osfield want to say.

But Oswald had already entered the room.

"Charlie, I'm back, Charlie?"

Oswald frowned.

For some reason, he felt that his room was very different from before.

Usually, Chad doesn't make much noise, but to say the least, he can feel that his only friend exists.

But now, he felt that Charlie seemed to be missing.

A bad thought came to my mind.

Oswald ran anxiously to Charlie's cage, only to see that the obedient little bird waiting for him in the past had disappeared.

"Charlie, where's my Charlie!"

Oswald began to panic.

No one understood what Charlie, the little bird, meant to him.

"Reith! Reith!" Oswald yelled. After 3 minutes of yelling, there was no response from outside the door.

Oswald gasped heavily.

In the end, I couldn't help it anymore, opened the door, and ran to the kitchen quickly with a cane, but found that the other party was not there, so I ran to the maid's room and knocked on the door.

"click~"

The door opened, revealing the impatient face of the maid.

"Master, it's not my working time anymore." The maid said dissatisfied.

In fact, the maid herself didn't understand why she was suddenly frightened by Oswald just now, and when she realized it, she went straight back to the room.

Anyway, no matter what attitude she took towards this freak, Master Copperpot would not blame him.

"Where's my Charlie! Where's my Charlie!" Oswald asked eagerly.

The maid Ruisi said impatiently: "That bird has become an ingredient for dinner, young master, you can't continue to harass me!"

"boom!"

The door was closed.

Oswald froze in place, his expression completely frozen.

An indescribable loneliness and coldness spread throughout his body.

He even felt as if he had been thrown into the very bottom of the Gotham River, the cold and oppressive water drowning him.

His life was not good.

When he was just born, his father threw him outside because he thought he looked too strange and was born with a lame.

He felt that a Child would be enough.

Later, it was discovered by a group of sparrows, and the sound attracted the housekeeper, who carried him back.

Although Tucker didn't throw him out since this day, it didn't treat him well.

The Copperpot family is rich.

Even the cold leftovers are enough to feed him, and he doesn't care about the rest.

Hanged in school.

Being locked in the toilet.

To be laughed at is a big bird.

The face was pressed into the basin.

He's been through all these things.

Once upon a time, he actually thought about wanting power, wanting to be an existence that is feared by everyone, and wanting everyone to see himself full of fear.

But all these thoughts were changed by the little gray bird.

That cute little bird can understand his words, comfort him when he is sad, and talk to him when he is lonely.

Charlie is his best friend.

But now, this friend is dead, killed by his sister and family members.

Perhaps, many people think that it is just a bird, is it important to have family members?

But in Oswald's eyes.

Charlie is his real family and his only salvation.

Oswald didn't get too excited or angry, but went back to his room.

There is a letter on his desk.

The letter said it was from Gotham University, and it contained Oswald's admission letter. Oswald picked up the letter and tore it into pieces.

……

"Well, I'll be back for dinner."

James Gordon hung up the phone and continued driving in earnest.

He's on the road in the East End right now.

The young man at the GCPD that day had always concerned him.

Why did the other party say that he was transferred from Chicago, and why could he give his name so confidently without seeing him at all.

These coincidences made Gordon very puzzled.

So he went to ask Harvey, learned the name of Rock Black, and went to the East District today, wanting to ask him for clarification.

By the way, help him solve the trouble he encountered last time.

The place where Luo Ke lives is a very dilapidated place in the East District. There are no neighbors around. The houses are so dilapidated that they are all homeless, and the owner doesn't know where to go.

Gordon is from Gotham.

It's clear what the East End is.

Gotham can be so peaceful, all because the mayor has assigned this area to Falcone and Salmaroni by default.

Although this behavior made Gordon disagree, it did make other areas of Gotham very safe and peaceful.

Even the crime rate was once lower than that of the metropolis.

But this can't change the fact that those two people are criminals, and he will arrest them sooner or later.

Finding the exact address, Gordon knocked on the door for 3 minutes, but there was no sound from inside.

"GCPD! Open the door!"

Gordon yelled and knocked a little longer.

"Hey, there's no one inside, so you don't have to knock anymore." A beggar sitting on the ground looked at Gordon and said, "You are also here to collect debts, give me ten dollars, and I will tell you where he is."

Gordon glanced at the beggar.

From Luo Ke's information, he knew that the other party gambled a lot. It seemed that this beggar betrayed Luo Ke a lot.

"Take it."

Gordon took ten dollars out of his wallet and handed it over.

The beggar studied it again and again for a while, and after confirming that it was not a counterfeit, he stuffed the banknotes into his pocket.

"He's on Park Street. This kid got some money to build a food truck and sell food there. If you want to collect debts, now is the right time."

Gordon nodded, then thought of something, and asked, "Then do you know if the owner has gotten into any trouble recently, such as any conflicts with his landlord?"

The beggar held out his hand.

The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched, but he still gave a note.

"Hey." The beggar smiled, waved to Gordon, and said, "Come here, let me tell you a secret."

Gordon leaned over without hesitation.

The beggar whispered: "That kid named Luo Ke killed his landlord..."
