Chapter 3479 Research on Cats and Dogs (Twenty-Seven)

There were two people standing at the end of the corridor. Batman looked over and felt that one of them looked familiar.

"Victor Fries?" Batman called out his name.

The man came over and shook hands with Batman and said, "It's me. You are the Batman of other universes that the Director mentioned? Is I Victor Fries, who teaches in the Department of Physics at Gotham University."

Batman nodded at him and asked, "Aren't you hit?"

Victor shook his head and said, "I didn't eat anything at all, so I was not poisoned. But my friend and I both drank a lot of alcohol and nothing happened. The toxins may not be in the alcohol."

Batman turned to see the friend beside him. In fact, he felt that these people had similar temperaments, both tall and thin, wearing old-school suits with towering shoulder lines and glasses, and they looked elegant and easy-going intellectuals.

"Schiller Rodriguez." Schiller nodded at him with a smile.

Batman thinks this name is a bit familiar, especially the name "Schiller". It seems that someone has heard of it, but if you think about it carefully, you really can't remember it.

"I am a professor in the Department of Psychology at Gotham University, and my office is next to Professor Fries. The two of us didn't have classes this afternoon and had some food, so we didn't eat much during the dinner and were not poisoned."

Batman turned his head and looked at Jonathan Klein in the interrogation room, thinking that he was already here and could not escape. It would be better to get more information from other people first, so that there will be more and more powerful chips when the confrontation is held later.

So he asked Superman to guard the door of Jonathan's interrogation room, and he and the other two professors came to the reception room next to him.

After Schiller sat down, he unbuttoned his suit and took the water cup from the policeman next to him. Victor also sat down on his own, neither of them was very nervous.

But Batman didn't find it strange. After all, those who can be a professor in Gotham cannot be timid and afraid of trouble. It is normal to go to the police station like them like eating and drinking water.

"I have a few questions to ask the two professors. You can answer them alone, or you can discuss them and answer them after you agree."

"No problem, ask," Schiller said.

“When did the dinner start?”

"The invitation is 7:30, but in fact most people arrive at 7:00." Schiller thought for a while and said, "The meal was served at about 7:40. Jonathan drank the first glass of wine, probably at 7:43."

"You have a good memory, professor."

"I am a psychology professor, this is my old job," Schiller smiled and said, "Neither Victor nor I ate the appetizers served, but we both had a glass of pre-dinner wine."

Victor nodded, thought for a while and said, "I'm drinking orange wine, he should be drinking some kind of sweet wine."

"Yes, I tasted a little white rum flavor, but I don't know exactly how it is prepared."

"What round of meals did you eat next?"

"Neither of us had the main course, but I had a little after-dinner salad. Victor had the finger biscuits."

"When did the first victim show symptoms?"

"The banquet was originally scheduled to end at 10 pm. It was around 9:40. Professor Hall from the Department of Physical Evidence Technology began to vomit spurtly and had some symptoms of mental disorder. We called the ambulance immediately."

"Did you call?"

"No, she is a professor in the Department of Mathematics, named Anna. But she is also sick and should be in the hospital now."

"That is to say, when Professor Hall was poisoned, Professor Anna not only did not have poisoned, but could also call the call for help with consciousness. When did Professor Anna get poisoned?"

"About three minutes after the call."

"Did anyone get poisonous after 10:00?"

"Of course there are. It's been around 11 o'clock one after another, and people are suffering from poisonous attacks."

“Is there any difference in their symptoms?”

Schiller shook his head and said, "According to my observation, there is no difference. Basically, he vomits first, then feels uncomfortable in stomach, and then falls on the ground with dizziness and starts talking nonsense."

“Not aggressive?”

"No. But because it was too sudden, some people pushed and fell to the ground in the panic, and they should have suffered some minor scratches."

Batman thought. Now in his heart, the possibility of Jonathan Klein being the murderer is getting lower and lower.

Not to mention that as the host of the banquet, if such a thing happened at the banquet, he would definitely be the first person to doubt it. Anyone with a little brain will not put himself in this situation.

Just talking about the poisonous manifestations of these people, it is not like the scarecrow's level of drug production.

Scarecrow Jonathan Kline is the world's top chemist. His preparation and use of toxins is even far beyond Batman's chemistry level, otherwise he would not have had so many scenes in Gotham, where many heroes emerged.

If he wants, he can make everyone get poisoned in the same second, or even make some of them vomit first, some of them delirium first, and even at the same time and the same dose, some of them have something to do and some of them are fine.

Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, this is the basic level of the scarecrow. If he uses his best fear gas, the effect can be further improved.

If this was done by Jonathan Klein, what was his purpose?

If you want to eliminate all the faculty and staff of Gotham University in one fell swoop, then just use poison gas to spray it into the banquet hall, so that none of them will survive.

If you just want them to lose their ability to move temporarily, then use the original fear gas. The Scarecrow has used the fear gas to cause group chaos more than once.

If you just want to make the crowd look bad, it will attract Batman - let alone there is no Batman in this universe - judging from the scene described by Schiller, due to the different time of the poison, everyone in front of you attacked, the people behind called the police, the ambulance and the police came very quickly, and the situation was significantly controlled.

If you just want to make the crowd lose control, then the best time is to emit poison at the same time. No one can inform you, and it is estimated that the entire Gotham University will become a mess, so that the professors can be ugly in front of students.

So both motivation and technique are not valid. But Batman still made a relatively cautious choice. He asked:

"How is Professor Klein's popularity in school?"

"He has just returned recently," said Victor. "The last time he worked at Gotham University was more than ten years ago. I hadn't come yet, so I don't know how popular he is."

Batman looked at Schiller again.

"In fact, it's not very good." Schiller shook his head and said, "Professor Klein has very typical antisocial characteristics and certain symptoms of Asperger's syndrome, which are manifested as severe social malfunction, excessive concentration, and certain hysterical manifestations."

"I only worked with him for a short period of time, but during that time, I didn't hear that he was friends with any professor and had a very average relationship with students. Later, because of some things, I left the teaching position."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know much about this, but I heard that he was in prison with a mental illness, which seemed to have something to do with Batman at that time."

"Batman at that time?"

"Yes, Gotham had Batman at that time. Anyway, Batman sent him to Arkham Asylum."

"Does he have any other intersections with Batman?"

"You probably have to ask Batman, or ask yourself, aren't you Batman too?"

"The situation in your universe is different from mine. As far as you can see, is he a good relationship with Batman?"

"I haven't seen him much, nor do I often have Batman." Schiller shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't provide clues in this regard."

Batman also seemed to think it was a bit difficult to ask an ordinary university professor Batman and his teacher, so he changed his question:

"I heard that Bruce Wayne was studying at Gotham University, how did he do during his time at school?"

"His grades are relatively average," Schiller said. "It seems that he is the head of the Wayne Group and does not take his usual academic and exams seriously. And Gotham University has not had a president for a long time, so he doesn't care."

"Do you know what happened to him as Batman?"

"I didn't know at first, but I knew later."

"Did Professor Klein have any abnormalities when he was in Arkham Asylum? Has he contacted who among you? Or does anyone know what he was doing at that time?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "For a long time, Arkham Asylum was not professional enough. I'm not sure if Professor Klein received normal mental illness treatment there, but after he came back, he looked better."

Batman became interested and said, "Tell me, look."

"Generally speaking, people like him will not take the initiative to socialize. However, after he came back to teach, he sent us an invitation directly, and came to me to invite me to the dinner."

"It was during the conversation with him that I found that his mental state had become much more stable and the symptoms of poor social interaction had improved. If it weren't for the slightest look, I would almost think he was healed."

"You should believe his judgment," said Victor. "He is a world-renowned psychologist. In your universe, you may have heard his name."

Batman nodded, feeling that his familiarity with the name "Schiller" may have come from seeing it in some psychological articles or academic news.

"Do you think all this changes have to do with Bruce?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"You said, Arkham Asylum is not professional enough, and Professor Klein's mental problems would not be improved so quickly without treatment. Could it be that Bruce Wayne played an important role in this?"

"I can only say there is a certain possibility." Schiller was very conservative, saying, "The Wayne Group does have sufficient medical resources. It is not surprising that they can cure people like Professor Klein. But after all, I have not seen it with my own eyes and cannot make a conclusion."

Victor next to him could hardly hold back his expression: "Do you have made few conclusions today?"

"Okay, professor, thank you very much." Batman stood up, he didn't seem to have anything to ask. He said: "Be safe, you'd better stay in a place with police and doctors tonight, otherwise the poison may kill you."

Schiller nodded and stood there watching Batman walk towards the interrogation room where Jonathan was.

"You're simply too bad," Victor whispered, "put the title of "Professor" on "Jonathan", and then use Batman's attention to confirm that Jonathan Klein is the mysterious "Professor". In this way, no matter who wants to start from the professor in the future, it's Jonathan who is unlucky."

"I can't blame me." Schiller smiled in his tone, and he said, "Compared to me who has been working diligently, Jonathan Klein, who has not made any noise for more than ten years, isn't he?"

"But they should soon find out that Bruce is reading psychology."

"So he is good at psychology?"

Victor choked.

"Not only do you learn psychology well, but you also learn chemistry very well." Schiller turned around and walked towards the door and whispered, "Don't this all match?"
