In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 17: Batman’s Kidney Crisis
Schiller's serious psychological counseling for Gordon ended the moment Bruce opened the door.
The three of them stared at each other, and Schiller asked: "Well, Mr. Wayne, as I said, you are out of counseling time this week, right? Why didn't you call ahead and ask the counseling room?" Has anyone made an appointment?"
Bruce is also a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect Gordon to be here. He just came to send an invitation letter to Schiller. Well, Gordon didn't come to him, didn't come to Wayne Manor to find Bruce, which meant that he didn't actually trust Batman.
This made Bruce a little frustrated, because he knew that Gordon was indeed a good cop, and now a clear stream of the Gotham Police Department didn't trust him, and even had some inexplicable hostility towards him. Bruce knew that Batman must To do more, you must do something really useful in order to make a difference.
Schiller said: "It seems that God also wants us to form an alliance. Since everyone is here, why don't we talk openly and honestly."
"We all know what happened that night, I know, the three of us don't fully trust each other, but it doesn't matter, we can still temporarily unite because of a common goal, such as letting my colleague, that Dr. Jonathan, who made the fear gas, went to prison."
Gordon knew that he had nothing to hide. If the matter could not be resolved, and his boss and the chief of the police station found out that he was secretly investigating the fact that someone wanted to hire Jonathan, he would definitely die. Ground, whether it is Schiller or Bruce, Gordon can only hope that they are neutral at any rate. Even if they cannot help him, they can at least give him some advice.
Gordon frowned and said: "The situation must be worse than you imagined, Victor... oh, the current police chief, he was charged with trafficking high-concentration sedative drugs, but he didn't He was not sentenced, but went up all the way. Some people speculated that Thrall was behind him, but no one had any evidence. My immediate boss, Lantalos, I have seen him go in and out of the club where the Red Crow Gang is, but this group of old policemen Too cunning, no one can catch their feet."
Schiller sighed. He knew that Gordon had saved some face for the Gotham Police Department. The Gotham City Police Department was almost full of mob minions from top to bottom, even the kindest policeman. It's just taking the gang's money and doing less work.
Schiller asked, "Do you know Harvey? Harvey Bullock."
Gordon frowned and thought about it, and said, "You're talking about that fat guy in the logistics department who smokes and drinks too much. What's wrong with him? Do you know him?"
In some Batman comics, Harvey Bullock is depicted as a sloppy fat guy smoking and drinking Larry. Gordon is right, but in most comics settings, he is a The bad cops come to disguise themselves as good cops. They seem to be in cahoots with those gangsters, but they actually help Gordon secretly. In a certain comic, they teamed up with Gordon to defeat the Joker without Batman intervening.
Schiller said: "You know I have worked with the police in several cities. I heard he attended the police academy in Star City. An old policeman in the Metropolitan mentioned him to me once. He He said that Harvey really wanted to be a good policeman, but he had suffered retaliation, so he had to disguise himself with a decadent appearance, and even took the initiative to hook up with gangsters to find an umbrella for himself.”
"You think he's trustworthy?" Gordon asked.
Bruce interjected: "It's not an option for you to fight alone in the Gotham Police Department. If you don't have any alliance in that, it is almost impossible for you to take down your boss and the chief of the police department, let alone the people behind them." Gangsters."
"I think you can try to contact Harvey, but don't tell him everything. I believe he must also be paying attention to this case. If he is really trustworthy, he may secretly provide you with some help, you two It is completely possible to have one in the open and the other in the dark, at least it can cause a lot of stumbling blocks for your boss."
Gordon said: "I'll ask him."
Bruce said: "As for your police chief, I will investigate him, of course, in another identity that you know."
Bruce didn't intend to hide it from Gordon at the beginning, because he knew that it was almost impossible to get help from a policeman in the police station without revealing his identity.
"And the gang..." Schiller said, "Whether it's the Sal you mentioned or the Red Crow Gang, I can go and have a look."
The two stared at Schiller at the same time, and Gordon said hesitantly: "Professor, I know you have traveled in various cities, but I want to remind you that the gangsters in Gotham are different from all cities. They are a group of very vicious wolves..."
"Yes, that's why I'm going now. You know, if it takes two months, Gotham University will have a final test, then I don't have so much time."
Schiller glanced at Bruce, and then said: "After all, many students here would rather hang out in nightclubs when the sun is still bright than pay more attention to their studies."
Bruce rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and Gordon looked him up and down, and said, "Although I'm not a few years older than you, I still want to remind you that if you really want to be that weirdo in tights, It's better to keep your private life a little more restrained, half of the beauties in Gotham City have slept in your bed, do you think there are a few black widows among them?"
Bruce said perfunctorily: "Okay, I will pay attention, thank you for your reminder."
Bruce's "famous name" is well-known throughout Gotham City. I have to admit that even the 18-year-old Bruce is handsome. His appearance can capture the hearts of countless opposite sexes. Gossip about him is published almost every day in the entertainment newspapers in Gotham, but Bruce's female partner in the photos has never been the same.
Schiller is not very worried that he will be assassinated by a gangster mistress. He is more worried about Bruce's kidney. He feels that even Batman will have to drink kidney treasure one day if he keeps playing like this.
Unfortunately, as soon as Bruce returned to Wayne Manor, his old housekeeper Alfred said to him: "I take the liberty to cancel your appointment tonight, because the data of your last medical examination is really not optimistic. ..."
Bruce froze for a moment, remembering the weird eyes of Gordon and Schiller during the day, he coughed awkwardly, and said, "Help me cancel all the appointments for this month's evening."
Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes gradually became strange. He said, "Master, you invited Miss Christine to dinner two months ago. Are you sure you want to cancel her invitation?"
Bruce waved his hand and said, "Of course, I don't have much time to date them now."
Ah Fu's eyes became even more strange, he hesitated and said: "If there is any change in your sexuality, I hope you can notify your loyal housekeeper as soon as possible..."
Bruce covered his forehead and said, "I'm going to go out to investigate things these few nights... Well, don't cancel Miss Christine's appointment, she is really **** and charming."
After Ah Fu left, Bruce found that his phone rang, and it turned out to be a call from Schiller.
He picked it up, and Schiller said, "Are you dating Christine, the leader of the Nightingales football team's cheerleading troupe?"
Bruce was taken aback, Schiller really has mind reading skills?
But soon he found himself thinking too much, Schiller said: "She once boasted to her sister that she had caught little Wayne, but she disappeared two days after she said this, and her sister reported When I arrived at school, Anna from the personnel department asked me to contact you..."
"I haven't dated her yet," Bruce said. "Our date is scheduled for two weeks. You know, my...schedule is relatively full."
"Then her disappearance has nothing to do with you? This is strange."
Schiller said: "The personnel department told me that Christine knew that she was beautiful, so she was very cautious and never left school for nothing. She was about to graduate, but now she is missing."
Bruce was a little alert, he said: "Could it be related to Jonathan's case? Is Jonathan familiar with her?"
"Of course not, how can such a girl know Jonathan very well~IndoMTL.com~ She is a beautiful social butterfly, and Jonathan is bored in the office all day long."
Schiller said: "Okay, Bruce, now that you have something new to do, hurry up and find your future date, preferably before your date date."
"But I..."
"The Nightingale team is Gotham University's business card. The disappearance of the captain of the cheerleading group has hit them hard. The National League playoffs are still two weeks away. If you can't find someone, I will hang you department."
"Hey, Professor, can't you...Hello? Hello?"
Bruce put down the phone helplessly, and then called the school himself, only to find out that Christine was very popular in the cheerleading troupe, and many girls went to the school to be important. There was no way to line up, which made the rugby team members dissatisfied.
Just in time for Jonathan to be arrested, everyone in the school was trying to calm down the public opinion, and no one was free, so the new professor Schiller was arrested.
Then Batman was captured by Schiller.
Bruce began to think, a beautiful girl disappeared in Gotham, the result of this matter is almost needless to think about, but what Schiller means is that this Miss Christine is a very cautious person, and usually does not leave the school , she disappeared from the school at Gotham University.
It's hard not to suspect that it has something to do with the Jonathan case.
One sheep is also chased, and two sheep are also released. Bruce doesn't care about Schiller's threat of no deterrence. When did Bruce care about failing?
Except for the psychology class, which he would take for Schiller's sake, the other classes were either clubbing or fooling around.
Thinking of this, Bruce remembered what Schiller said just now, did Christine mention to someone that she was about to date him?
Could this have something to do with her disappearance?
