Chapter 38: Harvey Dent
In any case, the new president's ban on campus is still being implemented in an orderly manner.
Vehicles and shops selling alcohol are not allowed in the vicinity of Gotham University, all parties and parties are checked, and dormitories are searched, but instead of confiscating high-powered appliances, they turn all the alcohol out and give students a hard demerit.
Of course, these students have no ability to resist, and although Gotham University has a big villain called Scarecrow, most of the students are quite obedient.
But obviously, this also moved the cake of another part of the people.
What kind of city Gotham is, everyone knows that the drunks here don't start drinking after work.
Gotham City is home to tens of thousands of alcoholics, feeding the city's countless bars and liquor shops, and the annual sales of alcohol and tobacco are a major part of the tax revenue.
Of course, you can stop students from drinking, but if they don't have an addiction to alcohol, who are the wine merchants going to sell to?
Students are so easy to deceive, any hobby they pick up during this period is likely to stay with them for the rest of their lives, and drinking is no exception.
If they start drinking alcohol at the age of 20, they will spend tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, on alcohol for the rest of their lives, and every drunkard will spend more than half of his salary on all kinds of alcohol.
The profits from the sale of liquor were scavenged by the monopolists, who used them to continue production, and then opened bigger factories and hired the drunkards at lower wages, at the cost of providing them with two bottles of inferior liquor after work.
What a perfect industrial chain, and all they need to do is put some good beer at a low price near Gotham University, regardless of profits, starting with beer, of course, and then distilled spirits and spirits.
For hundreds of years, Gotham City has been operating like this, if you don't let that group of people lead the students, then Gotham will not become a civilized city with simple people?
Schiller was well aware of this, so he never intended to be a good teacher with due diligence here, and the city did not allow any clean seedlings to grow, because only wicked people and criminals could survive here.
Turning Gotham University into a utopia? No kidding, that ignorant graduate won't survive more than a year in Gotham City.
It's just a big whirlpool, with countless small whirlpools, and no one can escape it.
Ever since Schiller sent a letter of withdrawal to Bruce, the principal had rarely talked about involving him, but he was under so much pressure that he had to find another helper for himself.
"Hello, my name is Harvey, Harvey Dante, a lawyer whose main direction is criminal proceedings and adjudication."
Schiller shook hands with Harvey, and before Schiller could speak, Harvey said, "I've heard of you, you're doing a great job in storming the city, that damn serial murderer has been brought to justice and is still in prison." ”
He spoke quickly, much like a lawyer. And in a calm and firm tone, he continued, "But I must say that you didn't do as well as you did in those big cases when it came to enforcing Prohibition at Gotham University, and I think saving the future of the city is just as important as catching criminals, isn't it?" ”
As soon as Schiller let go of his hand, he pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps." ”
Harvey could hear the reluctance in his tone, and he frowned and said, "I've heard some of your deeds in the south, but it seems that you are not as jealous and hateful as the rumors suggest. ”
"More than that, I want to know, who is spreading my story?"
Harvey was stunned for a moment, and he said, "Didn't you say it yourself?" ”
He looked Schiller up and down, Schiller didn't look like anything, a shrewd and brave detective, not an impartial judge, he looked very gentle, very in line with his professional temperament.
Harvey was smart and said, "You're saying someone is deliberately spreading your story? But why would they do it? Make a name for yourself? What's in it for you? ”
Schiller asked Harvey to sit down, and he sat across from him, saying, "Maybe you only know the first half of the story, and then I was plotted against someone else in a case in the Met, otherwise why did I come to Gotham?" That's not a good thing, and apparently, the group doesn't want to let me go right now. ”
Harvey was stunned for a moment, and he said, "I'm sorry, then you really shouldn't be in the limelight, but it's okay, I'm a legal advisor at Gotham University, and I'm very supportive of this Prohibition, it's actually okay to drink a little alcohol, of course I drink too, but I drank a lot when I was a student, which is not okay." ”
When Harvey speaks, he is always well-adjusted, logical, and his tone is very firm, which makes people feel unconsciously safe. If Schiller hadn't known that he was a later two-face, he would never have associated him with the coin-tossing madman.
Two-Face is a very complex villain, and he is the only villain that Batman has tried to save, Batman has tried many times but has not succeeded, and it may have brought him much more frustration than being defeated by the Joker.
Because Harvey Dante, he's really a good guy, the Knight of Light in Gotham City.
Batman was so deeply influenced by him, Maroni hurt Harvey in court and drove him crazy, this incident made Batman completely realize that without violent execution, without authority, the law and the trial are nothing.
A despicable and filthy criminal, in public, harmed an impartial prosecutor, but he did not have to pay any price, and no one dared to judge him again.
Schiller put his hands on the table, he looked Harvey in the eye and said, "Mr. Harvey, I think you know more about the situation here than the new headmaster, and you should know how many people's interests will be offended by doing this." ”
"I know, but I don't care." Harvey said.
Schiller sighed, he took off his glasses, and then began to wipe them with a cloth, and as he wiped, he said, "Maybe you are really ready to accept the price of justice?" ”
"Sounds like you're feeling a lot."
"Of course, because I have a big life."
"Then I believe it, and so do I." Harvey said, but he is still empathetic, saying: "I'm not going to criticize people who give up on this road because of all the dangers, because they have done the best they can, and I don't know how far I can go on this road, but in this world, you don't have to go to the end to win." ”
Schiller didn't reply, he shook Harvey's hand again, and Harvey left, and for the first time Schiller was not trying to use words to interfere or convince him.
Schiller once heard a very reasonable saying: don't try to remind a person who has been walking in the dark that the other person is not blind.
So Schiller won't try to correct Harvey's thoughts, won't tell him that your actions are useless to Gotham, everything Harvey does is right, and every choice he makes is just and right, but it's just a pity that this is Gotham.
The Light Knight can't save Gotham, and neither can the Dark Knight.
Harvey is indeed a very infectious person, he is not like Daredevil Matt, he likes to fight alone, he is very good at using all the resources he can access, mingling with teachers and students, even all kinds of employees are full of praise for him, Mrs. Muffy praises him more than a dozen times a day, and wants to introduce his little daughter to him.
Even the vast majority of students, although they don't like the confiscation of the wine they have hidden, still admire Harvey and think that he is the kind of elite who has a successful career and is very kind.
Within a few days of Harvey's arrival at Gotham University, he was welcomed by the vast majority of people.
The new headmaster, Shelton, is even more depressed, he is looking for someone to be a gun, not turning himself into a gun, he just wants to find a substitute for the dead ghost, let the substitute ghost charge in front, and he can gain fame and fortune.
But like Schiller's toughness, Harvey was so popular that he stole almost all of the limelight.
Few people know the name of the new principal, but almost everyone knows that the new legal counsel, Harvey Dante, is a highly educated, high-income, and enthusiastic elite lawyer.
And among the people who mingled with him were Schiller and Bruce, who were the most difficult to deal with, and Schiller was willing to talk to him about his life ideals, because they had similar education levels and were once alumni of Columbia University, so they could reminisce about their time on campus together.
As for Bruce, he thinks he and Harvey are very close together, they can talk about everything, and when it comes to justice, Harvey gives him a lot of different perspectives, which inspires Batman.
In the past, Schiller's all-perceptual dialogue had made Batman accustomed to being stimulated first, and then going back to think silently by himself.
But Harvey is different, Harvey will answer all Bruce's questions in as much detail as possible, when Bruce puts forward different views, he will not mockingly refute, will not disrupt the rhythm of his words, but listen quietly, after expressing his own opinions, and then carefully analyze what is different between his views and his, if they can't reach an agreement, then keep their own opinions, and talk about them next time.
No one would not like a friend who is wise, sophisticated, passionate, compassionate and learned, which is much better than going to Schiller's angry life for ten years.
Schiller was also very happy, because with Harvey, Bruce finally didn't bother him every day, and the psychiatric clinic finally quieted down.
Except for one visit by Gordon in the days that followed, almost no one was here.
Gordon had come to send him an invitation, after all, he had been promoted, and he had jumped a few notches in a row, which was a great thing to celebrate.
Gordon didn't have many friends, and his colleagues at the police department were a little red at him, and it was not convenient for him to invite them, so he planned to come and invite Schiller and Bruce to get together.
Bruce introduced Harvey to the cop, and the two hit it off, in a sense, Harvey and Gordon are the best match, the two of them are really similar, except that Harvey is more aggressive, while Gordon is more conservative.
The two men were hot, and Bruce was left out in the cold, Schiller held a wine glass and looked at Bruce standing outside the door of the psychiatric clinic speechlessly, and said: "Let me see, this homeless reservoir dog, finally remembered the garbage heap where he used to live, should I feel honored?" ”
"Hey, don't say that." "As good as Harvey is, I think you're better at teaching you professionally," Bruce said. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, but your credits for this semester must be deducted."
