The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 17 Batman's Kidney Crisis

Schiller's serious counseling session with Gordon ended the moment Bruce opened the door.

The three stared at each other, and Schiller asked: Well, Mr. Wayne, as I said, you are out of counseling time this week, right? Why don't you call ahead and ask if there is anyone in the counseling room? gone?

Bruce was also a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect Gordon to be here. He just came to send an invitation letter to Schiller. Bruce knew that his identity with Gordon might be exposed with a high probability, but he also knew that Gordon Not coming to him, not coming to Wayne Manor to find Bruce, means that he doesn't actually trust Batman.

This makes Bruce a little frustrated, because he knows that Gordon is indeed a good cop, and now a clear stream of the Gotham Police Department doesn't trust him, and even has some inexplicable hostility towards him. Bruce knows that Batman must do more , You must do something really useful in order to get a change.

Schiller said: It seems that God also wants us to form an alliance. Now that 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 that's okay, we can still be temporarily united by a common goal, such as having my colleague, the one who created the fear gas Dr. Jonathan to jail.

Gordon knew that he had nothing to hide. If his boss and the chief of the police station found out that he was secretly investigating the fact that someone wanted to hire Jonathan if he couldn't solve the problem, he would die without a burial, no matter what Whether it's Schiller or Bruce, Gordon can only hope that they are neutral. Even if they can't 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 concentrations of sedative drugs, but he was not sentenced , but all the way up, some people speculate that Thrall is behind him, but no one has any evidence, my immediate boss Lantalos, I have seen him go in and out of the club where the Red Crow Gang is, but these old policemen are too cunning , no one can catch their horse's feet.

Schiller sighed. He knew that Gordon had saved some face for the Gotham Police Department. The police station in Gotham City was almost gang minions from top to bottom. Even the kindest policeman was just It's just taking money from gangsters and doing less work.

Schiller asked, Do you know Harvey? Harvey Bullock.

Gordon frowned and thought for a moment, then said, You're talking about the fat smoking and drinking man in the logistics department. What's wrong with him? Do you know him?

Harvey Bullock is depicted in some Batman comics as a sloppy fat guy who smokes and drinks alcohol. Gordon is right, but in most comics, he is a bad cop. The good policeman who pretends to be himself seems to be in cahoots with those gangsters, but in fact he secretly helps Gordon, and even in a certain comic, he teamed up with Gordon to defeat the Joker without Batman intervening.

You know I've worked with the police in several cities, and I heard he was in the police academy in Star City, and a veteran cop from the Metropolitan mentioned him to me once, and he said, hah, Schiller said. Wei really wanted to be a good policeman, but he had suffered retaliation, so he had no choice but 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 chimed in: You can't do it alone in the Gotham Police Department, if you don't have an alliance in that, it's almost impossible for you to take down your boss and the chief of the police department, let alone the gangsters behind them.

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. The two of you can do it together. In the open and in the dark, at least it can cause a lot of stumbling blocks for your superiors.

I'll ask him, Gordon said.

Bruce said, As for your police chief, I'll look into him, of course, in another capacity 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 gangsters... Schiller said, Whether it's the Thrall you mentioned or the Red Crow Gang, I can go and have a look.

The two stared at Schiller at the same time. 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 vicious beasts. Regardless of any legal principles and morality, 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 continued, After all, many students here would rather hang out in nightclubs while it's still daylight than pay more attention to their studies.

Bruce rubbed his nose in embarrassment, 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, you'd better put Keep your private life a little tighter, half of the beauties in Gotham City have slept in your bed, do you think there will be a few black widows among them?

Bruce said perfunctorily: Okay, I will pay attention, thank you for reminding me.

Bruce's famous name is well-known in the entire Gotham City. I have to admit that even the 18-year-old Bruce is handsome. It can capture the hearts of countless opposite sexes. Gossip about him is published almost every day in Gotham's entertainment newspapers, 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 rather 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.

Afu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes gradually became strange. He said, Young 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 sexy 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, You have a date with Christine, the leader of the Nightingales football team?

Bruce was taken aback, Schiller really has mind reading skills?

But soon he realized that he was thinking too much. Schiller said: She once boasted to her sisters that she had caught little Wayne, but she disappeared two days after she finished speaking. Her sisters reported to the school. Anna from the personnel department asked me to contact you...

I don't have a date with her yet, Bruce said. Our date is two weeks away, you know, and my...schedule is full.

Then her disappearance has nothing to do with you? That's strange.

Schiller said: The personnel department told me that Christine knew 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? Does Jonathan know her very well?

Of course not. How could such a girl know Jonathan very well? She is a beautiful social butterfly, and Jonathan is bored in the office all day long.

Schiller said, Okay, Bruce, now that you've got something new to do, find your future date, preferably before your date.

But I...

The Nightingales are Gotham University's business card. The disappearance of the captain of the cheerleading troupe is a big blow to them. The National League playoffs are still two weeks away. If you can't find anyone, I will fail your 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 ask for someone. Without the leader, their dances could not be rehearsed. , which made the rugby team members dissatisfied.

Just as Jonathan was arrested, everyone in the school was trying to calm down the public opinion. 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, and the result of this incident hardly required thinking, but what Schiller meant was that this Miss Christine was a very cautious person, and she usually did not leave school. Missing from the Gotham University campus.

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 herded. Bruce doesn't care about Schiller's threat without deterrence at all. When did Bruce care about failing?

Except for the psychology class that 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?
