Batman got the key information from Schiller and left in a hurry.
Rather than the fact that Dick may have reached a rebellious stage and suddenly became so difficult to communicate, it is obviously still more likely that he may have been affected by hypnosis.
After all, less than a month ago, Dick was still clinging to him to learn detective investigative skills. After more than 20 days, he became like an enemy. In any case, this change was a bit too fast.
After Batman left, Schiller did not go to bed immediately because he found that the change of clothes he had brought was not enough.
The clothes he had stained during the surgery had not yet dried after washing, and the clothes he was wearing were stained again. After changing into clean clothes, he had no spare clothes.
Schiller originally wanted to call the Rodriguez Manor and ask Merkel to send him clothes, but when he came to the hospital, he drove away the only car he had. Whether it was tonight or tomorrow morning, Merkel
If you want to come here, you can only take a taxi, and taking a taxi is not that simple in Gotham.
Although his stewardship was quite strong, Schiller really didn't want to go to the police station to fish him out, so he decided to drive back by himself and bring over a few more sets of clothes.
Although driving all night in Gotham is a very dangerous thing, in fact, as long as you don't pass through those dangerous neighborhoods, you usually won't encounter any big trouble. Schiller took the route he takes most often.
Sure enough, the trip back was safe and we didn't encounter any unexpected situations.
However, as soon as Schiller stepped into the gate of the manor, he heard movement in the back garden. Schiller walked over and saw that Merkel was burning flower fertilizer.
Seeing Schiller's return, Merkel, who had just received the news on the phone, said hello with a smile, glanced at the body on the ground and said: "Sir, you are quite fast. I thought,
It will take at least ten minutes for you to arrive...your luggage has been placed at the door of your bedroom, do you really not need me to help you?"
"That's not necessary." Schiller said as he stepped on the dirt and walked closer, looking at the things burning on the ground. He originally thought it was just the body of a thief, but as he looked, he discovered
, there are some things that seem to be completely unburnable.
Schiller took the garden shovel and pulled it in the fire, pulling out several blackened metal parts. Merkel explained: "In recent days, there have been such puppet monsters trying to climb over the wall behind.
Come in, but Alfred gave me a pot of moving plants, and they were all caught by the plant's tentacles."
"A moving plant?" Schiller looked at Merkel with some confusion, but soon, a trembling tentacle appeared in his field of vision.
Schiller turned around and discovered that it was actually the little devil Hexagon brought back from hell. At this time, it was being planted in a large flower pot.
"Why did Alfred give it to you?" Schiller asked with some surprise: "I thought he would like this strange potted plant very much."
Merkel sighed and said: "Mr Alfred really likes this devil plant...
"But, do you remember? Elsa is particularly fond of moving things. This poor devil was bitten off half of its tentacles on the first day at Wayne Manor. If he bites him again, he will die.
Therefore, Mr. Alfred could only give it to me."
The little devil Liujia lowered all his tentacles in time and made a sad expression. Schiller took a closer look and found that what was planted in the flower pot was not actually the vine demon, but a cluster of shadow minerals, the body of Liujia.
Tangled in Shadow Mine.
Merkel and Schiller looked back at the fire. Merkel patted her chest with lingering fear and said: "I was really shocked when I first saw this monster. He is so ugly, he is just a stitch."
Strange."
"I just got rid of the one that came two days ago. Unexpectedly, after nightfall today, another one came. I heard that you were coming back to get clothes. I originally wanted to bury it first, but I felt that the night was long and I had many dreams.
It’s better to burn it first.”
Schiller nodded, feeling that Merkel was doing the right thing, but at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, choking him and causing him to cough. Only then did he realize that he was standing just downwind of the flames, which were burning.
Thick smoke was heading towards him.
Schiller immediately changed direction and said to Merkel: "I don't have to worry about your force. Now, there is still this devil guarding the garden. The manor should be safe, but you'd better not go out easily."
, it’s not peaceful outside now.”
After a few more words, Schiller went upstairs to get his luggage. Just as he was carrying the suitcase and about to walk out of the gate of the manor, he suddenly noticed that the flag on the mailbox outside the door was erected.
In the manor area, every household will have a mailbox with a small flag on the side of the mailbox. When the newsboy delivers a newspaper or letter, he will reach out and put up the flag. When the housekeeper looks out of the window, he sees
When the flag is put up, you will know that newspapers and letters have arrived. No communication is needed throughout the process, and the owner of the manor will not be disturbed from his sleep.
The flag is not made of cloth or other soft materials, but of wood. If no one touches it, it will not stand up on its own.
Schiller felt a little strange, so he stepped forward to check. As soon as he reached the door of the mailbox, he smelled a rotten smell. Schiller felt a little nauseous, so he took two steps back and called Merkel.
Came over.
Merkel stepped forward, opened the mailbox, and found a rotten ear inside. It looked more like a pig's. Most of the ear was rotten, but only the tip of the ear still had a piece of good skin.
, with a capital letter V branded on it.
Merkel used the tongs to pick out the ear and threw it to the ground. Then, she found another letter deep in the mailbox. She also threw the letter to the ground, stepped on the envelope with her feet, and opened the letter with the tongs.
.
But this was actually not easy. Merkel didn't open it for a long time. Schiller stepped forward, picked up the letter, and opened the envelope with his hands under Merkel's shocked eyes.
There was no writing on the letter, but a picture was drawn, which was a simple drawing of a pig's head, except that one ear was missing from the head.
Schiller paused, then threw the letter to Merkel and said: "Burn it."
Merkel looked at the picture, looked at Schiller and asked: "Uh, sorry, sir, but can I ask? What does he mean?"
"I don't know, I don't understand." Schiller shook his head.
"Well, it seems like it's something I can't know." After Merkel muttered something in a low voice, she took the pig ear and the envelope back to the back garden and burned them.
Schiller took his suitcase and drove away. When he went back, he still took the same road, but just as his car drove through a narrow street, suddenly, a car drove towards him.
.
This road is a one-way street and the street is very narrow. There is no room for two cars traveling in different directions to stagger. If they were two normal Gotham drivers, their magazines would have been half empty by this time.
However, Schiller did not hesitate at all. He reversed the car as quickly as possible and exited the street.
The car on the opposite side was confused. He had already slowed down and planned to stop, but Schiller had already reversed, giving him space. If he stopped at this time, it would seem a bit unwise.
So, he continued to drive forward, intending to drive to Schiller's position and then stop, but Schiller made a smooth reverse turn to the right and drove out along the road perpendicular to the street, also without giving the car a chance.
There is no room for the car to stop.
Schiller drove forward without looking back. The car seemed to be unwilling to give in and kept chasing him. When he drove to the main road, Schiller saw in the rearview mirror, that car
He wanted to get behind his car and chased another car.
Because Schiller was reversing too fast, the two cars started chasing each other when they failed to meet each other.
Schiller drove onto the beltway, and they followed Schiller onto the highway. Schiller drove around and around the beltway, and they followed Schiller around and around.
This chase lasted for seven hours, and until daybreak, Schiller still had no intention of getting off the highway.
Finally, the two cars could no longer pursue the chase. The car in front turned first, and the car behind also followed suit.
At this time, Schiller, who was sitting in the driver's seat and sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said, "Thank you, Gray Fog, you drove well."
After saying that, he stretched, yawned, and then said, "You may not have slept well in the car when you go back to the hospital."
A car slowly drove to the parking lot of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital. When Schiller got out of the car and walked into his office, he found a figure waiting there.
"Oh, Professor Schiller, it's me, Roman, do you remember me?" A young man walked up.
Schiller did not intend to shake hands with him, but hurried to the nearby bathroom to wash his hands. After all, he had just touched a letter that was next to a rotten pig's ear, so he shook hands with someone like this.
It's a bit rude.
But Roman's expression stiffened for a moment. He retracted his outstretched hand, but soon he said with a smile: "Professor, what do you think about what I said last time..."
"I know what's going on with Dick. The problem actually lies in his school...Roman, are you there?" Bruce who walked in paused for a moment, then he smiled and shrugged and said: "It seems that we
Two people with a good heart can always meet each other."
Roman's smile became stiff again, and when Bruce walked into the room, he smelled a faint burning smell.
Following the source of the smell, Bruce turned his head and saw Schiller with water still on his hands. The smell of smoke and burning came from his body.
In fact, Bruce called the reservations department before he came here, and Mrs. Miller told him that Schiller had just gone to the office and he had just come over.
Generally speaking, Schiller would not get up so early. If he went to the office now, it meant that he had not slept all night.
And Schiller didn't sleep all night. Did he go to destroy the corpse and eliminate the traces? Or did he go to destroy the corpse and eliminate the traces? Or did he go to destroy the corpse and eliminate the traces?
Thinking of this, Bruce felt that the first thing he had to do was to ask Roman to leave here quickly. He was afraid that Schiller would count Roman as a witness, and then go to destroy his body tonight.
"I'm sorry, Roman. Although I came later, I have something very important to say to Professor Schiller. Can you please leave first?"
Roman who was standing aside was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Bruce said in a very strong tone: "I will send a letter of recommendation that is weighty enough to your father. You should not come here recently."
This is it.”
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Roman's face gradually darkened, and his original sunny temperament became a little gloomy and nervous.
