Chapter 168: long easter (8)

In the Gotham City Police Department, Schiller looked at the two lists thoughtfully. Gordon walked over and saw several rows of names on them, some of which were circled in red.

"These are the sick students?"

"That's right."

"So which batch of Easter eggs went wrong? Was it bought from outside or sent by the president of Gotham University?"

"The problem is here. There is a problem with the batch of Easter eggs that 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 check how many Easter eggs are circulating in the market in Gotham City, tell them, and let them hurry up and find a way to put this batch of eggs in circulation. Easter egg recovery, it is likely to be a batch of biochemical weapons, which will make people crazy."

Gordon's tone was serious, and it gave him a headache to think that there might be hundreds of maddening bioweapons circulating in Gotham's marketplace.

"There may be some connection." Gordon took a breath to calm himself, and then said: "There's a bunch of Easter eggs that can make people crazy, and at this time, the president of Gotham University is ordinary. Let the professors make their own Easter eggs, what does this mean? Did he know in advance that there might be a problem with the Easter eggs sold outside?"

"Maybe, but you should mobilize the staff first and let them go to the market to recover these Easter eggs." Schiller yawned, and he said sleepily: "I'm going back to rest for a while, for those crazy students, I I haven't slept for two nights."

"If you think I'm suspected of murdering Seldon, then arrest me again after you find solid evidence."

After speaking, Schiller turned and left, and Gordon didn't stop him. Obviously, there are more important things 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 lunatics will take to the streets to kill people? Gordon thought he had to stop this.

After Schiller returned to the manor, he 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 went downstairs and found that someone had put something in the mailbox.

He opened the door of the letterbox and found a box inside. After opening the box, there was a colorful Easter egg inside.

As soon as he took the egg out of the box, the egg exploded with a bang, the shells splashed around, and a burst of unknown gas spread out. Schiller asked the gray fog, "Is this the same substance in the patient's blood?"

"It's the same." Gray Fog replied.

Then Schiller found that it was not only the eggshell that exploded, but also a small note that was slowly falling. He reached out and grabbed the note that was falling in the air. After opening it, he found a string of words written on it:

"Happy Easter - Holiday Killer."

Schiller squinted, holiday killer? Isn't that a character from the comic book The Long Halloween?

But people are Halloween killers, how did this holiday killer come out at Easter?

And killers are supposed to kill people, and what's the point of giving people crazy Easter eggs? More importantly, it was sent to him.

When Batman came to Schiller's manor, he found that Schiller was painting a goose egg. Schiller was so attentive that Batman made a deliberate noise, but he didn't notice it.

Batman had to cough before Schiller came to his senses, looked back at him, and said, "Are you okay? Don't disturb my creation."

Batman glanced at the easter egg that Schiller was drawing. In the middle of the easter egg was a **** smiley face, but the brush strokes were rough, so the smiley face was a bit strange.

Obviously, aside from the lack of techniques and the subject matter of no artistry, this process of scribbling with a pen twice cannot be called creation.

"Did you get an Easter egg from the guy who calls himself a holiday killer?"

"It's because I received his Easter egg that I plan to return the gift to him." Schiller picked up the Easter egg he was painting, looked at it, and said, "I think mine is much better than the one he gave. "

"Some of Gotham's gangsters and high-class people got that Easter egg, they went crazy, and they were overpowered and sent to a mental hospital."

"Did you get 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 that maddening substance is."

"It seems that you already have some speculation."

"I think it's a bit like the fear gas before."

"The symptoms are similar, but there are differences," Schiller said, shaking his head.

"You don't think they are a thing?"

"Yes, it's not that the external symptoms are similar, it can prove that it must be the same cause. At least in my opinion, it should not be caused by fear of poisonous gas." Gu Lou

What Schiller didn't tell Batman was that he had long ruled out fear gas because he was the one who used it the most, even more than the inventor, the Scarecrow.

He had used fear gas against a lot of people in Hell's Kitchen before, and he was all too familiar with the symptoms that fear gas could cause.

Although the symptoms of this case are somewhat similar to those of the people who inhaled the fear gas, they are not exactly the same, and the grey fog did not find any elements of the fear gas in their bodies.

"The Court of Owls cannot be ruled out, they have not been completely eliminated," Batman concluded.

"What are you going to do?" Schiller turned to him.

"He must be doing these things on purpose, and if he wants to kill them, there should be a better way."

"Many people didn't get caught." Batman continued: "Those gang bosses are not so vigilant, they won't open unfamiliar packages, and many people don't have the leisure to buy Easter eggs. If you want to use them This method of killing people is the least efficient method."

"It's more of a preview, isn't it? He seems to be saying, I'm going to start messing around, Easter in three days."

"He's supposed to kill on Easter, otherwise he wouldn't call himself a holiday killer. The only question now is, who is he targeting and what is his purpose?"

"Maybe many seemingly unrelated things can provide some clues."

"for example?"

"For example, Seldon's death. You know better than Gordon. It wasn't me. If he really offended someone, or knew any important information to be silenced, it shouldn't be at this juncture."

"The whole Gotham City is being rebuilt." Schiller sighed and said, "No matter how big a grudge between the gangster and him, they won't start at this time. Except for the lack of manpower, assassination at this time is very important. It may offend other people who are dedicated to construction, and make people worry."

Schiller took a list from the other side of the table and handed it to Batman: "This is an important clue, Seldon handed out ingredients for Easter eggs to many professors before Easter, and asked them to make the eggs themselves and make them. Give it to students, instead of going to the market to buy it.”

"It turned out that there was a problem with Easter eggs circulating on the market, so Seldon probably knew about the problem in advance."

"Perhaps because of his own interests, Seldon stopped the logistics department's proposal to buy ready-made Easter eggs in the market, but asked the professors to do it themselves. He wanted to avoid those problematic Easter eggs."

"So how did he know the news in advance? Could it have something to do with his death?"

"I thought you wouldn't care about it," said Batman, looking at Schiller.

"Anyway, the Easter egg that the holiday killer sent me was the first gift I got at Easter, and I want to give him one back."

"I think this clue should be enough for you to find something. If you find 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 the foundation is cracked, and the whole may have to be rebuilt, even stationed all the time. All the old priests there have left, and I have nowhere to go on weekends."

"I don't see it, you're still a devout believer." Cooper said, looking at Evans.

"Of course." Evans said a little distressed: "Originally, our principal made the Easter arrangement ahead of schedule. I thought it was good so that I could go to church on the night of the holiday to pray. You know, Easter is to celebrate Jesus. Rebirth, prayer and sacrifice are important."

"It turned out to be good." Evans spread his hands and said helplessly: "First it rained all day, floods broke out, Gotham was hit by ice again, all kinds of roads were cracked, and buildings were destroyed."

"It's finally getting better. Gotham University has a murder case again, the case is still under investigation, and a holiday killer who doesn't know where to come has appeared, driving a few gang bosses crazy..."

"This year's Easter is really long..." Evans sighed.

"Anyway, it's Easter in three days," Cobble said, lying on the hospital bed. "I have to go back to take care of my mother. When I got home yesterday, I wanted to take her to the hospital too, but she wouldn't, and I have to go back to the old house and refuse to live in the new apartment.”

"Elders are always like this. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Evans said with empathy: "My father is the same, sometimes I think he treats me very well, but sometimes I think he is too old-fashioned and polite. serious."

"It's good enough that the godfather tolerates you learning all that mess," Cobblet said to Evans. "What gangster heir can sing and dance all day long without even practicing marksmanship?"

Evans shrugged and said, "I can actually feel that my father doesn't like me being so unprofessional, but he still indulges me, and I don't know why..."

Then he opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "I still remember that the relationship between my father and my brother was very bad, probably because my father was too strict with him."

"I was young at the time, but I vaguely remember that they fought and it was fierce."

"Afterwards, my brother died and my father stopped allowing anyone to mention his name."

Evans sighed and said, "A lot of people don't even know that the godfather has an eldest son named Alberto Falcone."
