In the Gotham City Police Department, Schiller looked at the two lists thoughtfully. Gordon walked over and saw several rows of names listed on them, with several names circled in red pen.
"These are the students who are sick?"
"That's right."
"So which batch of easter eggs had the problem? The ones bought outside or the ones distributed by the president of Gotham University?"
"Here's the problem. There is something wrong with the batch of easter eggs my colleagues purchased outside. More than 70% of the students who received these easter eggs suddenly fell ill."
"That is to say..." Gordon picked up the phone and said to the other end of the phone: "Go and find out how many Easter eggs are currently circulating in the market in Gotham City, tell them, and let them quickly find a way to get rid of these Easter eggs."
If you recycle Easter eggs, they are likely to be a batch of biological and chemical weapons that will drive people crazy."
Gordon's tone was serious. He felt a headache when he thought that there might be hundreds or even thousands of biochemical weapons that could drive people crazy, circulating in Gotham's market.
"There may be some connection." Gordon took a breath to calm down, and then said: "A batch of Easter eggs that can drive people crazy appeared on the market, and at this time, the president of Gotham University discovered that ordinary
What does it mean to ask professors to make Easter eggs by themselves? Did he know in advance that there might be something wrong with the Easter eggs sold outside?"
"Maybe, but you'd better mobilize the staff first and ask them to go to the market to recycle these Easter eggs." Schiller yawned, and he said sleepily: "I'm going back to rest for a while. For the sake of those crazy students, I
I haven’t slept for two nights.”
"If you think I am suspected of murdering Seldon, then arrest me after you find conclusive evidence."
After saying that, Schiller turned and left, and Gordon did not stop him. Obviously, there were more important things now than the murder of the president of Gotham University.
Once this kind of easter egg spreads, it will be a terrorist attack more terrifying than flooding Gotham. Who knows how many madmen will take to the streets to kill people? Gordon thought, he must stop it all.
After Schiller returned to the manor, he originally wanted to go to bed after taking a bath, but as soon as he came out of the bathroom, he heard the bell of the mailbox downstairs ringing. He walked downstairs and found that someone had put something in the mailbox.
He opened the mailbox door and found a box inside. After opening the box, there was a colorful Easter egg inside.
As soon as he took the easter egg out of the box, the easter egg exploded with a "bang", the shells splashed around, and a burst of unknown gas spread. Schiller asked Gray Fog: "Is this the same substance as the patient's blood?"
"It's the same." Hui Wu replied.
Then Schiller discovered that not only the eggshell exploded, but also a small piece of paper slowly falling. He reached out and grabbed the piece of paper floating in the air. After opening it, he found a series of words written on it:
“Happy Easter – holiday killer.”
Schiller narrowed his eyes. Holiday Killer? Isn't that a character from the comic The Long Halloween?
But he is a Halloween killer. How come this holiday killer comes out on Easter?
And killers are supposed to kill people, so what's the point of giving people crazy Easter eggs? More importantly, it was given to him.
When Batman came to Schiller's manor, he found that Schiller was painting a goose egg. Schiller was so focused on painting that Batman deliberately made a little noise without him noticing.
Batman had to cough before Schiller reacted, looked back at him, and said, "Are you okay? Don't disturb my creation."
Batman took a look at the Easter egg that Schiller was painting. There was a big black smiley face painted in the middle of the Easter egg, but the brushwork was very rough, so the smiley face looked a little strange.
Obviously, apart from the almost non-existent technique and the unartistic subject matter, this kind of process of scribbling with a pen cannot be called creation.
"Did you receive an easter egg from the man who calls himself the Holiday Killer?"
"It's because I received his Easter egg that I decided to give him a gift in return." Schiller picked up the Easter egg he was painting, looked at it, and then said, "I think this one is much better than the one he gave me.
"
"Some gang bosses and upper-class people in Gotham received that Easter egg. They went crazy, were subdued, and were sent to a mental hospital."
"Did you receive it too?"
"Bruce Wayne got it."
"Aren't you going to give him a gift in return?"
"More than that, I want to know what the substance is that can make people crazy."
"It seems that you have already made some assumptions."
"I think it's similar to the fear gas from before."
Schiller shook his head and said: "The symptoms are indeed very similar, but they are also different."
"You think they're not the same thing?"
"That's right, just because the external symptoms are similar doesn't mean it must be caused by the same disease. At least in my opinion, it shouldn't be caused by fear gas." Gu Lu
What Schiller didn't tell Batman was that he had already ruled out the possibility of fear gas because he was the one who used fear gas the most, even more than the inventor Scarecrow.
He had used fear gas to deal with many people in Hell's Kitchen before, and he was all too familiar with the symptoms that fear gas might bring to people.
Although the symptoms of this case are somewhat similar to those of people who inhaled fear gas, they are not exactly the same, and the gray fog did not find the components of fear gas in their bodies.
"The suspicion of the Owl Court cannot be ruled out. They have not been completely eliminated." Batman concluded.
"What are you going to do?" Schiller turned around and asked him.
"He must have done these things for a purpose. If he wanted to kill them, there should be a better way."
"Many people have not been tricked." Batman continued: "Those gang bosses are not that vigilant. They will not open strange packages when they encounter them. Many people do not have the leisure and leisure to buy Easter eggs. If they want to use
This method of killing people is the most inefficient way."
"It's more of a preview, right? It's like he's saying, I'm going to start causing trouble, which is three days from now on Easter."
"He should kill people on Easter, otherwise he wouldn't call himself a holiday killer. The only question now is, who is his target and what is his purpose?"
"Perhaps many seemingly unrelated things can provide some clues."
"for example?"
"For example, Seldon's death, you know better than Gordon. It was not my doing. If he really offended someone, or knew any important information and wanted to be silenced, it shouldn't have been at this juncture."
"The entire Gotham City is undergoing major reconstruction." Schiller sighed and said: "No matter how big the hatred between the gang and him, they will not take action at this time. In addition to the lack of manpower, it is very convenient to carry out assassinations at this time.
It may offend other people who are dedicated to construction and make people fearful."
Schiller took out a list from the other side of the table and handed it to Batman and said: "This is an important clue. Seldon gave many professors the ingredients for making Easter eggs before Easter, asking them to make the eggs themselves and
Give them to students instead of buying them in the market."
"Later events proved that there was a problem with the Easter eggs circulating in the market, so Seldon probably knew about this problem in advance."
"Perhaps because of his own interests, Seldon blocked the Logistics Department's proposal to purchase ready-made Easter eggs in the market, and instead asked the professors to make them themselves. He wanted to avoid those problematic Easter eggs."
"So how did he know the news in advance? Could this be related to his death?"
"I thought you wouldn't care about this." Batman looked at Schiller and said.
"Anyway, the Easter egg that the holiday killer sent me was the first gift I received at Easter, and I want to give one back to him."
"I think this clue should be enough for you to find out something. If you find out where the holiday killer is hiding, then help me bring my gift there."
Schiller picked up the easter egg and handed it to Batman. Batman looked at the rough smiling face and narrowed his eyes.
At the same time, Evans and Cobot were chatting in the ward. Evans sighed and said: "Originally, Gotham Cathedral has been repaired, but now the foundation is cracked. The whole thing may have to be rebuilt, even the one that has been stationed there.
All the old priests who were there have left, and I have nowhere to go on the weekends."
"I can't tell you are still a devout believer." Cobot looked at Evans and said.
"Of course." Evans said a little distressedly: "Originally, our principal moved the Easter arrangements forward, and I thought it was good, so that I could go to church to pray on the night of the festival. You know, Easter is to celebrate Jesus.
For new life, prayer and sacrifice are very important.”
"It turned out to be a good thing." Evans spread his hands and said helplessly: "First, it rained all day, floods broke out, and Gotham was hit by ice again. Various roads cracked and buildings were damaged."
"It's finally getting better. Another murder case occurred at Gotham University. The case is still under investigation. Another holiday killer appeared from nowhere and drove several gang bosses crazy..."
"Easter is so long this year..." Evans sighed.
"Anyway, Easter will be in three days." Cobot said while lying on the hospital bed: "I have to go back and take care of my mother. When I went home yesterday, I wanted to send her to the hospital, but she refused, and
I have to go back to my old house and refuse to live in a new apartment."
"Elders are always like this." Evans said empathically: "My father is the same. Sometimes I think he is very kind to me, but sometimes I think he is too old-fashioned and serious."
"It's good enough that the godfather can tolerate you learning those messy things." Cobot said to Evans: "Which gangster's heir would sing and dance all day long without even practicing marksmanship?"
Evans shrugged and said: "I can actually feel that my father is not happy for me to be so unprofessional, but he still indulges me. I don't know why..."
Then he opened his mouth and said with some hesitation: "I still remember that the relationship between my father and my brother was very bad. Maybe it was because my father had too strict requirements on him."
"I was still young at that time, but I vaguely remember that they had an argument, and it was very fierce."
"Later, my brother died, and my father no longer allowed anyone to mention his name."
Evans sighed and said: "Many people don't even know that the godfather also has an eldest son named Alberto Falcone."
