Chapter 168: The Long Easter (8)

At the Gotham City Police Department, Schiller looked at the two lists thoughtfully, and Gordon walked over and saw that there were several rankings on them, and several names were circled with red pens.

"These are the sick students?"

"That's right."

"So which batch of easter eggs went wrong? Did you buy it outside or did you send it from the president of Gotham University? ”

"The problem is here, it's the batch of easter eggs that my colleagues are buying outside, and more than seventy percent of the students who received these easter eggs suddenly fell ill."

"In other words......" Gordon picked up the phone and said into the other end of the phone, "Go and find out how many Easter eggs are circulating in the market in Gotham City right now, and tell them to hurry up and find a way to recycle these Easter eggs, it is likely to be a batch of biological weapons, which will make people crazy." ”

Gordon's tone was serious, and he felt a headache at the thought that there might be hundreds or thousands of maddening bioweapons circulating in the Gotham Marketplace.

"There may be some connection between that." Gordon took a breath to calm himself down, and then said, "What does it mean that there are a batch of Easter eggs on the market that can drive people crazy, and at this time, the president of Gotham University is sending out ordinary easter eggs for professors to make themselves?" Did he know in advance that there might be something wrong with the easter eggs sold outside? ”

"Maybe, but you better mobilize people first and let them go to the market to recycle these easter eggs." Schiller yawned, and he said a little sleepily, "I'm going back to rest for a while, I haven't slept for two nights for the sake of those crazy students." ”

"If you think I'm suspected of murdering Sheldon, then come and arrest me when you find solid evidence."

With that, Schiller turned and left, and Gordon didn't stop him, obviously, there was something more important now than the murder of the president of Gotham University.

Once this kind of easter egg spreads, it will be a terrorist attack more terrible than flooded Gotham, and who knows how many crazy people will take to the streets to kill people? Gordon thought he had to stop this.

When Schiller returned to the manor, he wanted to go to bed after taking a shower, but as soon as he came out of the bathroom, he heard the bell ringing in the mailbox downstairs, and he went downstairs to find that something had been put in the mailbox.

He opened the door of the mailbox and found that it was a box, and when he opened 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 bullet casings splashed around, and a burst of unknown gas diffused, Schiller asked the gray mist: "Is this the same as the substance in the patient's blood?" ”

"It's the same." Grey Mist replied.

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

"Happy Easter – Holiday Killer."

Schiller narrowed his eyes, holiday killer? Isn't that a character from the long Halloween comic?

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

And killers are supposed to kill, what is it to send people an Easter egg that will go crazy? What's more, it was sent to him.

When Batman arrives at Schiller's manor, he finds Schiller painting a goose egg, and Schiller is so absorbed in his drawings that Batman deliberately makes a little noise, and he doesn't notice it.

Batman had to cough before Schiller reacted, looked back at him, and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" It's okay, don't bother me with my creation. ”

Batman glanced at the Easter egg that Schiller was drawing, and a large black smiley face was drawn in the middle of the egg, but the brushstrokes were very rough, so the smiley face was a little strange.

Obviously, aside from the techniques that are almost non-existent and the subject matter that is not artistic, this process of scribbling twice with a pen cannot be called creation.

"Did you receive an easter egg from the man who called himself the holiday killer?"

"It's because I received his easter eggs that I plan to give him a gift." Schiller picked up the egg he was drawing, looked at it for a moment, and said, "I think this one of mine is much better than the one he gave." ”

"Some of the mob bosses and the upper class in Gotham received that Easter egg, they went crazy, and then they were subdued and sent to a psychiatric hospital."

"Did you receive it too?"

"Bruce Wayne got it."

"Aren't you going to give him a gift in return?"

"I want to know more about that maddening substance than that."

"Looks like you've got some speculations."

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

Schiller shook his head and said, "The symptoms are indeed very similar, but there are differences. ”

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

"That's right, it's not that the external symptoms are similar to each other to prove that it must be the same cause, at least in my opinion, it should not be caused by fear of poison gas."

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

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

Although the symptoms in this case were somewhat similar to those of the person who inhaled the fear gas, it was not exactly the same, and the gray fog did not find a component of the 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 back to him.

"He must have done these things for a purpose, and if he wanted to kill them, there should be a better way."

"A lot of people didn't get hit." Batman continued: "Those gang bosses are not so vigilant, they won't open strange packages, and many people don't have the leisure to buy Easter eggs, if you want to kill people in this way, it is the least efficient way." ”

"It's more of a teaser, right? He seemed to be saying, I'm going to start making trouble, just three days later at Easter. ”

"He should have killed at Easter, otherwise he wouldn't have called himself a holiday killer, and now the only question is, who is he targeting, and for what purpose?"

"Maybe a lot of seemingly unrelated things can provide some clues."

"For example?"

"For example, Sheldon's death, you know better than Gordon, it wasn't me who did it, if he really offended someone, or knew something important to be killed, it shouldn't be at this juncture."

"The whole of Gotham City is undergoing a major rebuild." Schiller sighed and said: "No matter how big the grudge between the gang and him is, he will not do it at this time, in addition to the lack of manpower, it is very likely that assassination at this time will offend other people who are bent on construction, which will make people angry." ”

Schiller took out a list from the other side of the table and handed it to Batman and said, "This is an important clue, Sheldon gave many professors the ingredients to make Easter eggs before Easter, asking them to make their own eggs 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 it is very likely that Shelton knew about this problem in advance."

"Perhaps because of his own interests, Sheldon blocked the proposal of the logistics department to purchase ready-made easter eggs in the market, and instead 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." Batman looked at this Schiller and said.

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

"I think this clue should be enough for you to find something, and if you find where that holiday killer is hiding, then help me bring my present."

Schiller picked up the egg and handed it to Batman, who looked at the gruff smile and narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, Evans and Copot were chatting in the hospital room, Evans sighed and said, "Originally, the Gotham Cathedral had been repaired, but now the foundation has cracked, and the whole thing may have to be rebuilt, even the old priest who has been stationed there has left, and I have nowhere to go on the weekend." ”

"I can't tell you're still a devout believer." Copote said, looking at Evans.

"Of course." Evans said a little distressed: "Originally, our principal had made the Easter arrangements in advance, and I thought it was good so that I could go to church and pray on the night of the festival, you know, Easter is to celebrate the new birth of Jesus, and prayer and sacrifice are very 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, all kinds of roads cracked, and buildings were destroyed. ”

"It's finally getting better, there's another homicide case at Gotham University, the case is still under investigation, and another holiday killer has popped up who doesn't know where he came from, and has driven a few gang bosses crazy......"

"It's been a long Easter this year...... Evans lamented.

"Anyway, it's Easter in three days." "I have to go back to take care of my mother, and when I came home yesterday, I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she wouldn't, and she had to go back to her old house and live in her new apartment," said Copote, who was lying on his hospital bed. ”

"Elders are always like that." Evans empathizes: "My father was the same, sometimes I thought he was very good to me, and other times, I thought he was too rigid and serious. ”

"It's good enough that the godfather can tolerate you learning that nonsense." Colbert said to Evans, "What gang heir sings and dances all day long, and doesn't even practice marksmanship?" ”

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

Then he opened his mouth and said with some hesitation: "I still remember that my father and my brother had a very bad relationship, probably because my father was too strict with him. ”

"I was a kid at the time, but I vaguely remember that they had an argument, and it was very intense."

"Later, when my brother died, my father no longer allowed anyone to mention his name."

Evans sighed and said, "There are even a lot of people who don't know that the godfather also has an eldest son named Alberto Falcone. ”
