Chapter 1,268: Lone Shadows in Pair (8)

 Even before evening, an uninvited guest who was not listed in the telephone yellow pages visited Schiele's new home. Leech

Gordon looked at the furnishings in the living room through the crack in the door that Schiller opened, and said: "Congratulations on moving into your new home, Professor, I brought back a set of harness when I traveled to Texas. It is not expensive.

But I think you might like it."

Gordon handed over a box. Schiller looked at the material of the box and saw the exquisite hardware, so he opened the door a little wider and asked Gordon to come in.

But Gordon was not the only one to come in, there was also a little girl behind him. Gordon pushed the little girl in front of Schiller and said: "This is Nimosine. Five years ago, her parents were unfortunate.

He was killed and adopted by the Bekasan Orphanage, and later went to the Andrio Orphanage.”

"Some time ago, Erem's charity foundation came to the Andrio Orphanage and selected Nimosine to be one of the three lucky children to find a new adoptive family."

"But unfortunately, Nimosine's family has a history of hereditary mental illness. She became ill in her adoptive family. The family that adopted her believed that they were unable to treat her mental illness, so she was adopted back.

Yes, she is the last child to be retired, the other two have returned to the orphanage."

"The Andrio Orphanage is an ordinary orphanage and is not equipped with a psychiatrist. In Gotham, only the Beccasan Orphanage can take in children with mental problems. I asked Nimosine if she wanted to go back. She

Refused."

"Now she is temporarily fostered in my home, but the child's mental condition is really not very good. Barbara and I don't know much about this area of ​​expertise, and we can't send her to Arkham Asylum, but other than that

, I only know you as a psychiatrist, can you provide this poor child with some suggestions on mental treatment? "Zhich

Schiller lowered his head and glanced at the child following Gordon. She was a little girl of seven or eight years old. She was wearing a denim suspender skirt that had been washed a little white. Her red hair was tied into two braids. At first glance, she looked like

Meticulously cared for.

She has a pair of brown eyes, which are particularly focused when staring at Schiller. This kind of look is a characteristic of mental patients that is easier to identify, appearing to be overly focused, cold and neurotic.

"Her condition is indeed not good." Schiller took out a pen from his suit pocket, turned it around gently in his hand and said, "Come in."

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, pushed Nimosine's back and let her walk to the sofa in the living room. The little girl remained silent, and Gordon pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

Schiller asked some basic information, such as age, family situation, living environment, etc. Gordon answered most of the time, while Nimosine just sat there in silence.

When the questions were almost finished, Schiller said to Gordon: "Generally speaking, children at such a young age cannot be treated with medication. In her case, there is no need to take medication. The family environment has a great impact on them, and it changes frequently.

The environment is not conducive to their sense of security."

"My suggestion is that you'd better take her back, take good care of her, and don't let her change her environment in a short period of time. If she develops some stress symptoms to the new environment, you can call me and I will

I’ll give you advice based on the situation.” Leech

After saying that, Schiller raised his head and glanced at the phone placed upstairs, shook his head and said, "You have to ask Batman for the phone number, I don't know it either."

Suddenly both of them stopped, because they discovered that Nimosine trembled when she heard the word "Batman".

Gordon was about to squat down immediately, and Schiller immediately winked at him. Gordon's movements froze, but he successfully controlled himself and did not react too much.

Then, Schiller calmly lowered his gaze to Nimosyne's face, and then saw the little girl's relieved expression. She seemed to be happy that no one noticed her abnormality.

The name Batman is a household name in some fields, but these fields certainly do not include orphanages. The Dark Knight does not work to rescue orphans, and even if he saves children, he will not reveal his name.

The children in the orphanage cannot read newspapers and live in almost a completely closed environment, so they have no way of understanding Batman, but Nimosine must have heard someone say this name.

At this moment, Gordon understood that he had found the clue he was looking for. As expected, Batman was right. In this case, the little girl was a key figure, as was Schiller. When they meet, they will definitely provide new clues.

Before coming, Gordon actually had some doubts. He felt that it was a very risky decision to take such a young girl to see a lunatic who was in unstable condition.

But now, Gordon discovered that everything is still under Batman's control. Schiller is not the same kind of person as those uncontrolled crazy killers, he is more like Batman.

So Gordon decided to take the risk one step further. He took a step forward, looked at Schiller and said: "Even though companionship is important, I also feel that professional treatment and guidance are necessary. I can make an appointment to take her for psychological treatment at a fixed time."

Treatment?”

Schiller thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, we can make an appointment every Tuesday afternoon to confirm the appointment 24 hours in advance. If you don't call to confirm, I will call two hours before the appointment time."

Gordon nodded, indicating that he understood. The little girl Nimosine glanced at Schiller before leaving. Her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.

Schiller went to a nearby restaurant to have dinner. Just as he walked into his new home through the garage door, the phone rang from time to time.

Schiller walked up to the second floor unhurriedly and picked up the phone. As expected, it was Batman's voice on the other side: "Tomorrow night, there will be a celebrity banquet held at the Gotham Grand Theater. The purpose of this event is to be sponsored by Bruce Wayne.

Relationships among recent Gotham investors."

"The nature of the banquet is relatively private, but there are people I suspect among the attendees. I may make some noise during the dance. I hope you can cooperate with me as a attendee."

"Bruce Wayne is going too?"

"Bruce Wayne is going too."

Schiller was silent and did not answer, while Batman said on the other end of the phone: "The new clothes for the ball will be placed on the balcony of the third floor tomorrow morning. There is a laundry room across the street that can be ironed, and watches and accessories will be

Put it on the shelf on the far right side of the garage. You can prepare the gift yourself."

"Okay." Schiller replied.

"Wait a minute." Barry stood up suddenly in front of the seat in the theater, stretched out a hand and said, "I found that they ignored the most important thing."

Everyone looked up at him. Barry looked around and said, "How is Schiller going to get in to the private banquet? He fell from the air and doesn't know anyone. How can he participate in the Gotham investors' banquet?"

?"leech

"Actually, I'm also a little curious." Hal touched his chin and said, "It seems like a test of Batman's abilities on Schiller, but it doesn't seem that simple. What are they hinting at?"

"The object of suspicion." Bruce said. After breaking free from his emotions, Bruce was able to view what happened from a more objective perspective, so he analyzed: "Still the same idea as before, Batman wants to know Schiller

How similar is it to him?"

"If the purpose of the collection in that room is to judge Schiller's aesthetics by observing his movements when sorting out the collection, then this time, Batman wants to see if Schiller can think of the same thing as him when reasoning."

"Not enough clues." Diana frowned tightly. The princess with a gorgeous face, her two slender eyebrows frowned, with an extra charm, she said in a low tone: "Based on that corpse alone

, it is completely insufficient to determine who did it.”

"There can't be only celebrities at the banquet. Waiters, security guards, umbrella boys and even parking attendants may all be Batman's targets. There is only one day and one night at most. How is Schiller going to investigate?" Constantine narrowed his eyes gently.

When he opened his eyes, he was known as the Detective of Hell. Although he didn't do much detective work, he did have the intuition of a detective.

"Unless, during their conversation, Batman gave some other clues." Jason said with a finger.

"Oh, I know." Harley suddenly exclaimed: "The key is, new clothes, watches and accessories! Batman is saying that he hopes Schiller can achieve a pivotal social status at the banquet."

"When my father was still alive, he took me to some banquets. In some banquets, I had to wear beautiful dresses and gorgeous jewelry to be as eye-catching as possible. But in some banquets, I needed to dress more plainly in order not to steal the limelight from others.

."

"My mother told me that the way you dress at a banquet depends on the social status you want to achieve at the banquet. If you want to be the center of attention and the center of conversation, you must be well dressed. Ladies should wear gorgeous long dresses.

The shawl decorated with precious stones, the set of customized headwear, necklaces and bracelets, and even the shoes hidden under the long skirt cannot be careless, otherwise you will show your timidity.”

"Gentlemen should wear well-tailored suits made of expensive fabrics. Waistcoats or belts should also be arranged according to the occasion. Watches, cufflinks and badges are top priority. Beards and sideburns should be trimmed appropriately to suit your personal style and never look sloppy."

Diana continued what Halle said.

Obviously, the two of them are in different social classes. Although Harley's family is relatively wealthy, it is still not old money. Sometimes she needs to act awkward so as not to steal the limelight, or to promote herself at the right opportunity, so she pays more attention to her own gender.

of dress.

Because Diana was a member of the royal family, with a noble birth and strong personal abilities, she scrutinized and even stared at the opposite sex at the banquet, and developed the habit of evaluating the degree of likability of the opposite sex.

Jason nodded and said: "In this way, people like waiters can be excluded. If Batman's target is this type of people, there is no need for Schiller to appear so solemnly at the banquet."

"On the other hand, he needs a new face with a pivotal position to appear at the banquet and attract people's attention. It can be said that this is exactly what Batman gave Schiller." Leech.

Several people nodded, feeling that this analysis was very reasonable. Barry frowned and looked a little sad. He said:

"But there is only one day and one night left. Where is Schiller going to gain a decisive position? He is a completely alien in this universe and has no support at all. How can he get himself a celebrity status in such a short period of time?

?”

Diana was obviously very familiar with this situation. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. The beautiful princess flipped her hair and said: "Perhaps, he does not need to assume the identity of a socialite, or in other words, there will be artificial

He gave him such an identity."

"who?"

"Whoever has a guilty conscience is the one."
