Chapter 1,274: Lone Shadows in Pair (14)

 "Yes, I had a great chat with Mrs. Pompos just now. She also likes 19th-century poets. You know, there are not many fans of Romantic poetry in Poland."

"Really? It just so happens that I also know something about the Polish youth movement. When it comes to romantic poetry, you must have talked about Mickiewicz, right? Many people like his "Ode to Youth", but I like his more

"Ancestor Sacrifice", especially the second part."

Bruce, who was holding the wine glass, blinked slightly. Schiller lowered his head and smiled and said, "Yes, the second part of "Ancestor Sacrifice" has an interesting view on revenge, which breaks through the vagueness and vagueness of most romantic poems."

The illusion of scarcity puts hatred and revenge into the peasants' resistance to the landlords..."

When Schiller said the words "peasants' resistance to landlords", Bruce's eyes changed slightly, but he soon laughed again and said: "That part I like best

, is a discussion on the moral standards established by the people... What do you think morality is?"

Schiller did not answer. Sure enough, as soon as Bruce finished speaking, he covered his mouth with a wine glass and said with a smile: "Oh, sorry, look, where did I take this? It's just that I heard March

Sir, you are a professor working at the FBI Agent Training Academy, so I can’t help but ask you questions as curiously as a student."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't mind these somewhat boring preaching contents appearing at your private banquet. I have always insisted on an opinion on this point..."

When Schiller said this, he felt a shadow coming from behind him. When he turned his head, he saw Lincoln March's face.

This burly gentleman is wearing a very finely tailored light suit. The tailoring of the collar has a bit of an 18th century retro style. He looks very energetic. His face is also very rosy, and like all businessmen, he looks full of energy.

, you can devote yourself to work at any time.

"Mr. March, are you here?" Schiller took a step back slightly. The distance he had drawn closer to Bruce when he reached out to toast was once again pulled away. In order not to appear to completely ignore the gentleman who suddenly joined the conversation, Schiller

Le turned slightly sideways, no longer facing Bruce completely.

But in Schiller's peripheral vision, he could see Bruce frowning slightly, obviously not satisfied with the current atmosphere of the conversation.

“Although conversations in private settings make it easier for people to reveal their true feelings, conversations in public settings can also allow people to understand a certain side of a person.”

"Obviously, Batman was planning to do this. He wanted to have some cultural, artistic and even philosophical discussions with Schiller at the banquet to get a more comprehensive understanding of the professor, but he was interrupted by March."

Greedy stood in the back row, holding the back of the chair in front of him and said: "March thought he was rescuing his temporary ally Schiller, but this made Batman focus on him."

"There is no doubt that both Batman and March want to use Schiller, and Schiller wants to use them." Bruce's voice came from the front seat.

Everyone is looking at the subtle atmosphere between the three people on the screen. As Ill said, in such social situations, everyone is taking advantage of the atmosphere, changing the atmosphere, and using certain subtle changes in the atmosphere to convey themselves.

Everyone is reading the atmosphere and what others want to express.

Although Schiller took a slight step back on the screen, he immediately said: "Yesterday during the psychological consultation... Oh, Mr. March, you said you don't mind knowing the content of our conversation, right?"

March narrowed his eyes slightly, but kept his smile and nodded reservedly, so Schiller said: "Yesterday, Mr. March and I talked about the tragedy of Mr. Errim. This is simply appalling.

There is no doubt that such a terrible case brings great psychological pressure to everyone, and it won’t be long before I have a lot more records in my phone yellow pages.”

Bruce frowned and his face became serious. He said: "After I proposed a new round of investment plan for Gotham City, the city has not stopped. There is a mysterious killer organization that has started killing people frequently. I

Guess, their purpose is to stop me from making Gotham a better place."

"Hey, Bruce, do you still remember our last conversation?" March immediately answered: "When I just mentioned that there might be a mysterious and ancient organization controlling Gotham behind the scenes, the terrible killer directly said

He rushed in, he came for me, he didn’t want me to tell you this.”

Schiller immediately glanced at the two of them and showed a puzzled expression, so Bruce spread out a hand and explained: "Mr. March and I met at the venue of the new round of Gotham Investment Plan."

"He is a very enthusiastic and energetic gentleman with a large family and a keen vision. He believes that the plan I proposed can better change the city, so he confided his investment intentions to me."

"Of course, of course I think so." March continued what Bruce said: "Although everyone says that Gotham has poor public security, the economy here is not bad. Or maybe I am being modest. On the entire East Coast, Gotham has

China's economic development is also one of the best, and it all depends on the good management of Wayne Group."

"As a businessman, I certainly know how to seize the opportunity. I thought that the new round of investment plan was a great opportunity, so I made an appointment with Mr. Wayne and came to the Wayne Building on the day of the appointment.

Talk to him about specific investment projects.”

"Of course, with such a large-scale investment, one must be cautious. I have no intention of questioning Mr. Wayne's ability, but there is something that worries me very much. In fact, there are rumors circulating among several ancient families in Gotham.

There is a legend that there is a mysterious and ancient force that controls Gotham and monitors everything here."

"When I just said this, a terrifying killer wearing strange clothes and a pair of eyes like torches broke in through the window. He knocked me down directly and almost killed me. My injuries are still not healed."

March lowered his head and shook his head, as if feeling lingering fear. Bruce continued: "During the fight with them, I fell down the stairs. Fortunately, there are certain safety measures outside Wayne Tower. I

I didn’t die, it was a terrible experience.”

"To tell you the truth, while Mr. Wayne was recuperating, I carefully considered whether to stay here." March showed a somewhat embarrassed look, and Schiller heard him raise his voice and increase his volume.

said:

"I do not deny that greed is the nature of businessmen. Everyone wants to make more money. This may seem a bit vulgar and rude, but it is the truth. But the truer truth is that everyone is afraid of death. I can't

Taking the risk of being attacked by killers every day and participating in investment, I think everyone thinks so."

Obviously, March's voice spread very far, and Schiller could clearly hear the chattering around him, and everyone turned their attention to Bruce Wayne.

"He's forcing Batman to take a stand." Clark touched his chin and said, "I often see this scene. Whenever the Ministry of Agriculture takes any action, the farmers will gather. At the gathering, everyone will use this

I looked at my dad, hoping he could explain and respond."

"How do you think Batman should respond?" Barry frowned, obviously feeling that it was not easy to handle. He shook his head and said: "If it is just to simply emphasize, 'I will ensure your safety,' obviously

It's not strong enough, because March has been injured by the killer, and Bruce Wayne himself almost fell from the building. No matter how you try to guarantee it, it seems like you're trying to make up for it."

"But if he gives a detailed explanation, he seems a little guilty." Constantine also wrinkled the muscles in his eyes and said, "This will make him lose control of the situation. After all, high-ranking people do not need to explain."

"This is another trap of March." Bruce said calmly: "He must be related to the killer who stabbed him that day and made Batman fall from the building, or it was simply arranged by him."

"He pretended to be an investor to participate in the investment plan, and deliberately showed great enthusiasm to be the first to eat crabs. Then he arranged an assassination plan and used a bitter trick to tell others. Wayne even

If basic safety cannot be guaranteed, don't expect any results from this investment plan."

"He deliberately chose to attack Wayne at his private party because at this time, Bruce Wayne's answers were all wrong."

"If you continue to emphasize as a high-ranking person, I will guarantee your safety, then March's injury and his own experience of almost falling to death are the best counterarguments, but if he explains like a low-ranking person,

It was just an accident at the time, then he would no longer be able to control the overall situation."

"And the key to breaking the situation..." The greedy tone rose.

"...It's Schiller." Bruce's tone darkened.

"Mr. Wayne, please allow me to interrupt."

In the banquet hall, Schiller suddenly spoke up. He raised his wine glass and greeted everyone around him, and said: "During yesterday's conversation, Mr. March did not tell me that the matter had reached such a serious level. If I had known earlier,

, I would not recommend that he seek psychological treatment, but I would recommend that he contact the FBI immediately."

When the words "FBI" were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue condensed.

"Sorry, I'm a foreigner. I really don't understand. Isn't this kind of organized assassination a terrorist attack? Shouldn't this fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI?"

Schiller made a very puzzled expression, and his tone also revealed a deep confusion.

"There have been so many murders, and the matter has become so serious that even Mr. Wayne and Mr. March almost lost their lives. Shouldn't the federal violent law enforcement agencies be invited to intervene?"

"Friends, please don't be ashamed of this. This is a reasonable demand of taxpayers. You pay so much tax every year, and a large part of it is awarded to the FBI. The purpose of their existence is to provide

We solve problems. Now that such a vicious incident has occurred, why doesn’t anyone think of calling the police?”

Schiller's tone revealed disbelief. He moved slowly, seemingly inadvertently blocking Bruce's face. People's eyes turned away the moment they came into contact with the professor's eyes.

opened.

The gentlemen in suits looked up to study the patterns on the ceiling, and the elegantly dressed ladies looked down to study the fit of the toes of their high heels on the floor.

"Pfft!"

Clark laughed out loud. He coughed slightly, looked at Bruce and said, "Why does this sound familiar? Have I suggested that someone call the police before?"

"Tell the people of Gotham to call the police -" Harley drawled.

"It's better to just kill them." Jason concluded simply.
