Chapter 1179 Who Can Make Schiller Plead Guilty? (Part 1)
In the FBI base office in the metropolitan area, Jimmy, who was sitting at the conference table, stood up and shook hands with Bruce, who had just walked in.
The strong black agent always looked a little serious. He took a step back and let Bruce walk into the office, and the two sat down at the table.
"Mr. Wayne, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to cooperate with the investigation and contribute to the federal security and education." Jimmy flattered Bruce as usual.
Bruce shook his head slightly, showed a worried look, looked at Jimmy and said: "You should know why I came here. I don't want my educational background to be stained, let alone the Wayne Group.
In this matter."
"I am here to ensure that your investigation will not affect my business, let alone any rumors that will affect my personal reputation."
Bruce's words were very straightforward, but Jimmy didn't mind. He looked at Bruce's expression seriously and said: "Mr. Wayne, please believe in the ability of the FBI. We will enforce the law impartially and do our best to bring justice to the police."
A satisfactory result for everyone.”
"Okay, that's enough time for politeness." Bruce seemed a little impatient. He looked at Jimmy and said, "What do you want to ask me when you come to me?"
Before Jimmy could speak, Bruce spread his hands and said: "You should know that I am responsible for the Wayne Group and do not have that much time to study at school. If you want to learn something about Professor Rodriguez's personal life from me,
If you are used to it, then you are overthinking it.”
"Of course." Jimmy nodded and said, "This is just a routine inquiry and will not involve any privacy between you and the other party. If you feel uncomfortable with the questions I ask next, you can completely refuse to answer."
"Wait a minute, are you trying to do a psychological evaluation or psychological profile on me?" Bruce frowned and said, "Don't play this trick with me. No politician or businessman will allow anyone to pry.
own heart."
Seeing Bruce's very resistant expression, Jimmy sighed softly and said: "Mr. Wayne, calm down. You have not accused Professor Rodriguez. As long as you do not claim to have been abused by him, we will
No psychological testing will be conducted on you."
Bruce rolled his eyes and said: "Roman and Thomas and I are pretty acquainted. I didn't expect them to be such hypocritical people. What can a university professor do to them? The Sionnis family and Elio
Is there anyone left in the Te family?"
Hearing this, Jimmy's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he did not respond immediately, but silently recorded what Bruce said in his heart.
This is actually a doubt that Jimmy discovered during the investigation. Logically speaking, as the eldest sons and heirs of two large families, Roman and Thomas' normal life should be like what Bruce described, running around in the business every day, nothing wrong with it.
Time to go to school.
Even if they go to school to deal with professors for their own good reputation, they will not be trapped in school and have to accept abuse from anyone. They are fully capable of getting out at any time.
Generally speaking, bullying occurs in teacher-student relationships when teachers are very powerful but students have no ability to resist.
There should be no situation in which the two rich second generations have no ability to resist. Their relationship with their teachers is not that unequal.
Of course, Jimmy doesn't think that Schiller can be cleared of suspicion because of this. In the end, it still depends on the testimony of the accuser and what happened during the confrontation between the two parties.
"Okay, Mr. Wayne, let's get started. Since you didn't make any accusations against Professor Rodriguez, we will only ask some very simple questions."
Jimmy leaned forward, looked at Bruce and said, "In your impression, what kind of person do you think this professor is?"
"A very typical university teacher." Bruce replied: "He enters the classroom two minutes early to give lectures and leaves immediately after class. When teaching theoretical classes, he can make people fall asleep three times in ten minutes. When debating topics, he is fairly fair.
not ah."
"Can you use one word to describe your first impression of him?"
"Strictly," Bruce replied.
Jimmy nodded and then asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable with this kind of strictness?"
Bruce pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then said: "Whether a strict teacher is good or not often depends on your attitude towards learning. If you want to study hard, a teacher with high academic level, seriousness and strictness will
Of course it will be more popular."
"But if you just want to fool around like me, but you meet a strict teacher, I'm afraid I will scold him ten thousand times in my heart every day."
"Have you ever done this?" Jimmy tilted his head slightly, raised his eyelids, and looked at Bruce from above his eyes.
Bruce shook his head and said: "Why should I have trouble with such a professor? Anyone with any conscience knows that he is doing it for your own good and is just doing his duty as a teacher. He wants to teach me, but I don't need to learn.
It can only be said that we have no common interests, but it will not lead to hatred."
Jimmy slowly frowned. The famous Little Wayne was indeed as rumored. He was a somewhat dissolute but talented businessman with great business acumen. He never strayed from common interests and never made sharp statements.
He is relatively tactful when facing any problems and does not target anyone.
But I have to admit that Bruce's statement has some truth. Roman and Thomas, who made the main accusations, are actually from business families. They chose the psychology department because they thought that psychology might make them successful in the business world.
Get some advantages.
And if the family's business is busy and they don't have time to study, but the teacher asks them to study hard, they should also be able to understand that the teacher is just doing his duty, and even if he gives him something he doesn't need, he won't turn against him.
?
Besides, there is actually no benefit in offending such a famous scholar. Businessmen like to find common interests and make friends.
No shrewd businessman would sneer, treat someone indifferently, or become enemies with someone just because they don't need them at the moment. This completely goes against a businessman's tactful instinct.
So, Jimmy looked into Bruce's eyes and asked him: "Then what do you think of Roman and Thomas? Are you friends? How is their relationship?"
"We can be called friends." Bruce gave an ambiguous answer and said, "I am friends with everyone in Gotham. Even if he doesn't like me, he can always use me."
Jimmy also understood the implication of his words. To put it bluntly, judging from the size of the Wayne Group, no business family would not want to curry favor with Bruce Wayne.
"I'll be honest with you." Bruce shook his head helplessly and said, "Both of them have a good relationship with me on the surface, but secretly they are probably very jealous of me. My parents passed away and they took over the Wayne Group early on.
I am truly powerful, but the two of them are still under the jurisdiction of their parents and have basically no freedom. Of course they will be jealous of me."
Bruce touched his chin and said: "Some time ago, I heard that Thomas was in jail and was accused of murdering his parents. I didn't usually see that he had such a big conflict with his parents."
"And that Roman, I heard that he was arrested for planning a hospital murder some time ago. Instead of quickly hiring a few good lawyers to help him exonerate himself, he jumped out to accuse a university teacher. I quite like it.
surprised."
Jimmy slowly narrowed his eyes, looked at Bruce and said, "I can hear that you want to defend your university professor, but the FBI has already investigated the situation you mentioned."
"Of course, Thomas and Roman are both murderers. Personally, I think brutal criminals do not deserve sympathy."
"But according to federal law, murderers and students are two different identities. They will go to jail for murder charges and pay a price, but they can still exercise their rights as students and accuse their teachers.
.”
Bruce spread his hands, shook his head, showing a ridiculous expression, then looked into Jimmy's eyes and said, "You've said that, what else can I say? Do you have any other questions?"
Jimmy glanced down at the document at hand, and then continued: "Have you had any personal contact with Professor Rodriguez? How is the relationship between the two of you?"
"Of course we have been in contact, and I even invited him to have dinner at Wayne Manor. I think it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with such a scholar, but when it comes to personal relationships..." Bruce shook his head and said:
"You should also be able to imagine that such a strict teacher prefers good students. As for me..."
Bruce did not speak further, and Jimmy understood what he meant. Suddenly, Bruce snapped his fingers and said: "Didn't you ask Evans? Oh, it's Falcone Jr., he is Schiller's favorite disciple...
…Wait a minute, what nonsense am I talking about? How could you possibly bring Falcone to trial?”
Jimmy showed a helpless smile, tilted his head to the side, his eyebrows pressed tightly against his eyes, and then he said: "That's the problem. Of course I understand that you want to help Professor Rodriguez, but
In fact, the vast majority of students we surveyed did not have very positive comments about him."
"Most of those good students you call are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, let alone allow the FBI to conduct psychological evaluations on them. You should understand that this will lead to Professor Rodriguez's evaluation results being more biased.
On the negative side.”
Bruce pondered for a moment, and then said: "You want me to persuade Falcone or other students who are members of the gang family to come forward?"
Before Jimmy could answer, Bruce said: "No gangster family can bow to the FBI. Whether you want to bring them here or you want to enter Gotham, this is a blow to them."
kind of violation."
"I know that the Constitution and national honor give you the right to walk on every inch of federal land. It's their fault that they don't let you get close. But judging from the actual situation, you have no way to correct these mistakes for the time being, and there is no way to let them
Pay for your mistakes.”
"You'd better not want me to come forward to persuade them. Although Wayne Group has business all over the world, I am still a Gothamite. Wayne Group is also a local enterprise in Gotham. If I have conflicts with local gangs, in the future I
Life in Gotham is impossible."
Jimmy looked at Bruce silently, and Bruce looked at him. After a while, Jimmy nodded, accepting the result.
He put the documents away, but he did not immediately stand up and shake hands with Bruce. Instead, he sat there with his hands on the table and said to Bruce: "I can express to you my personal views on this investigation.
I believe that criminals who can commit such cruel acts of killing their own parents and other strangers do not deserve sympathy at any time."
"The accusations they made against others are just a thief shouting to catch a thief, and there are most likely some ulterior secrets behind them." Jimmy's expression was calm, as if he was not expressing this slightly radical view.
"I hope to be able to fight for justice for both parties, including Professor Rodriguez, of course, but the problem is that we now have too little evidence in his favor from the investigation."
Jimmy stood up with the document in hand. He pressed the edge of the document on the table and tapped it twice to align the papers. He said to Bruce in an inexplicable tone:
"Mr. Wayne, if you don't want another stain on your educational background, you'd better act quickly."
