In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 42: New job invitation
In a small bar on the edge of the affluent area in the south of Gotham City, Schiller squeezed a little lemon juice into the gin that he had mixed. He picked up the glass and said to Gordon: "Congratulations, detective , now at least you can do what you want."
Bruce on the opposite side of the round table also raised his glass, and Harvey said after picking up the glass: "It is indeed time to celebrate, you are the most honest policeman I have ever seen."
The four of them touched the glasses, and Gordon took a sip of the wine. His face turned red. He didn't know whether it was the excitement or the effect of the alcohol. Far."
Bruce said: "It is always good to have progress."
Schiller smiled, covered his mouth with his wine glass, and said, "Really? It seems that our innocent little boy has made great progress recently?"
Bruce put down his glass and said, "I remember the professor once said that you have no advice for my private love life."
"But I also reminded you that you'd better be careful of your kidneys. I mean protect your kidneys, not just keep them from getting knives. The scenery on Tricker Street is really nice, where the neon lights are all The east coast is very famous..."
Gordon looked back and forth between the two of them, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What charades are you playing?"
"It's nothing, I just advise you, stop meddling in the future, some people are very confident in their kidney function."
Gordon understood now, he said: "It seems that Bruce has a very rich emotional life recently."
Schiller put down his glass and said with a smile: "On the contrary."
Harvey knew some inside information. He touched Bruce with his arm and said, "It seems that you and the girl you mentioned are progressing very quickly. How is it? You have established a relationship?"
Gordon immediately pricked up his ears, Bruce touched his temple, looked at the eyes of the three people watching the excitement, he said: "Don't do this, don't do this, what does it matter? That's me It’s a personal matter, and the theme of our party today is to celebrate Gordon’s promotion.”
"I don't think the position of the team leader of the Gotham Police Department is as worthy of celebration as our richest man in the world has a new girlfriend." Gordon said.
"That's still a bit exaggerated, after all, the world's richest man has too many girlfriends." Schiller said.
"But the team leader of the police station is just as useless as an ordinary policeman." Gordon laughed at himself.
Bruce was very helpless by them, he said: "Well, I admit it, that's right, I fell in love with a girl... no, not that kind of liking, not because of her pretty face and figure... oh , of course she is beautiful and has a great figure, but not..."
Both Gordon and Harvey look like you don't need to explain. Harvey also said: "At your age, I like any girl, I don't think it's because of their appearance, but now I know this sentence Talking is farting, and men all over the world are farting when they say this."
Gordon tugged on his tie, he said: "Could it be that there is a girl who really moved Bruce? Then I really want to see who he is."
Bruce said: "She is actually nothing special, just a girl from the slums, like all ordinary girls, likes shiny gems and jewelry, and her dream is to have a castle full of gems."
"Do you prefer German or French castles?" Schiller asked, "I think Neuschwanstein Castle is good, how about buying it?"
Bruce flicked his wine glass unbearably, he said: "I'm not soaking her! I'm serious, don't look at me like that, I admit that I used to be a little...well, not a little...but I I really plan to marry her..."
"You are not facing her now, so you don't have to say such beautiful words."
Schiller quickly interrupted Bruce, can anyone say this?
But it doesn't really matter, anyway, Batman is the protagonist, so it shouldn't be a big problem for the protagonist to say this.
Bruce took a sip of his drink, and he was rarely excited. He said: "We have indeed confirmed our relationship, and we have been dating for several nights in a row. She gave me a very beautiful gemstone."
"What about you? Didn't you get her something?" Harvey asked.
Bruce said: "I'm thinking."
"That's a bit of a faux pas," Harvey said. "Are you looking down on her ghetto origin? With all due respect, not everyone is as lucky as you. I don't think class matters, at least for you." Can't stop love..."
"Of course I don't think so."
"The thing is, if you don't hurry up and give her a gift that proves her heart, she might think so," Schiller said. "Any girl from a slum who falls in love with the richest man in the world will probably not be very confident."
"Okay." Bruce said, "What do you think I should give her? I can't think of it after thinking about it for a long time."
Harvey doesn't know the true face of Catwoman, because he doesn't know that Bruce is Batman, let alone the story between them.
But Schiller knows all about it.
Schiller said: "How about a string of pearls?"
Bruce tightened his grip on the wine glass. He took a sip and said, "I have to admit, I don't like pearl necklaces very much, but if she likes them, I will definitely give her the best one."
After the party, Schiller went back to his apartment to clean up, except for the smell of alcohol.
It's not without reason that Schiller shuttled between DC and Marvel. After coming to DC, he wanted to wait for the plot of Marvel on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to finish the matter on time.
He is a fairly cautious person, and he hopes that everything will have a beginning and an end. Although the old principal did not go to prison, he was somewhat surprised, but the purpose of his original return was to clean up the beginning and end of the last Jonathan case.
The old principal is now Batman's target, and Schiller doesn't plan to intervene for the time being, but there is one more person, that is the missing Director Victor.
Schiller knew that it should be Sal Maroney who kidnapped him. Even so, Maroney may not have killed him. A former police chief can get a lot of useful information out of his mouth. With such a huge loss, Maroni will not let Victor die easily unless he can get his money back.
But Schiller had to kill Victor.
In the early days of Jonathan's case, he was not capable enough. When stealing the fear gas, he only used the simplest method, that is, burglary. traces, but he still wants to kill the remaining 1% possibility of being discovered.
In order to reverse the case for Jonathan, Victor had entered the evidence room more than once. This old policeman was the only one who could expose Schiller's theft of the fear gas.
You know, after Jonathan entered the lunatic asylum, the most traditional version of the fear gas concentrate has been out of print, but due to the huge loss of Maroni, many people in the gang are eyeing this weapon. If anyone stole the fear gas, the gangsters would swarm in like sharks that smell meat.
Schiller was going to visit Maroney, but before that, an unexpected person approached him.
Schiller followed a man in black into the car, and a man in a suit sitting in front said: "Professor Schiller, you don't have to be afraid. The godfather asked you to go there just because he needs your help."
The extended luxury car soon arrived at a manor not far from the southern area. Schiller followed the guide and walked in. The decoration of the manor was very old-fashioned. After he entered, he went up to the third floor. I knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Schiller went in, and he saw a tall man, or old man, with silver-gray hair, dressed in a decent suit and tie, with a red flower in his breast pocket. Poppy, there is a kind of imposing manner without anger.
He fumbled for the ring on his hand and said to Schiller: "Professor Rodriguez, I am sorry to disturb you. I invited you here because I need your help."
"I am honored to serve you, Your Excellency Falcone."
Schiller walked over and was separated from Falcone by a table. What to say, he nodded, and then said directly: "I have a son, he is not young this year, my family and business need him to inherit, I hope to hire you as his tutor .”
Without waiting for Schiller to ask a question, Falcone said: "His former tutor was shot three times in the chest and did not recover. I heard people say that you can even make Bruce Wayne on time. If you hand in your homework, you should be a good teacher."
"Of course, I'm not threatening you. I know you caused a little trouble in Metropolis. Some people found this place following the smell, but they should all be in the gutter by now."
"This is my sincerity, how?"
Schiller looked at Falcone. He was more like DC Comics' portrayal of the gang leader in the early days. Falcone's source of inspiration was Corleone among the godfathers, the one portrayed by Marlon Brando Role.
Now it seems that compared to the image of Falcone in a jacket and weird sunglasses shown in movies and TV shows, this old man is indeed more like the family godfather who rules Gotham's huge gang power.
"Yes, but I have one more request."
"The former police chief is missing..." Schiller said.
"You want to find him?"
"No, I want to kill him."
Falcone sat down, he took a cigar handed to him by the person next to him, took a puff, exhaled the smoke, and said slowly, "Victor... I know him, a little clever old liar, you What enmity do you have with him?"
"I think, in Gotham, you don't have to have a grudge to kill."
Holding a cigar, Falcone smiled and said, "It seems that you will indeed be a good teacher."
