In Schiller's office at Gotham University, Victor stepped on the stool under his feet, stretched out his arms, and twisted the light bulb above his head.

He removed the old light bulb that had broken down, looked at it in his hand, and said, "If Gotham is going to build a museum, I must donate this light bulb, and it can even stay in the main display case in the hall on the first floor, because there are at least 20 generations of insect corpses here......"

Anna, who was illuminated by a flashlight underneath, showed a disgusted expression and said, "Can you stop talking about such a disgusting thing, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

"Did you hear the siren?" Schiller, who was standing on the side and looking up, said: "Since just now, three police cars have passed by here, although this is not unusual in Gotham, but the frequency is too high, right?" ”

"There was a murder at Gotham University, although the death of a person is nothing in Gotham, but someone dares to blatantly do it in a student dormitory building, the nature is different."

"The Godfather feels that the Elliott family is provoking his majesty, and recently, the Falcone family and the Elliott family have been in a-for-tat confrontation, and the situation seems to be a little tense." Anna said with a frown.

Victor, who was changing the new light bulb, sighed, and said, "Actually, I have a good impression of Thomas, he is not bad, polite, and more interested in learning than others, so why ...... it"

"That's right." Schiller suddenly spoke: "That dead Doris is a chemistry student, have you taught her?" ”

"She's a senior and doesn't have much time in school, so I don't know her, but I teach a few girls who are part of her group and I've heard about her."

Victor's hand movement paused, and he recalled: "They gossiped about Doris's boyfriend during recess, saying that he was young and handsome, and that he was a likable young man, no wonder Doris was so obsessed with him. ”

"I heard that Doris's boyfriend works at the Met's Central Research Institute?" Schiller asked.

"That's right, and he was young, so he followed a very famous mentor to do research, and I heard that after this year's project is completed, he can be turned from an intern assistant to a full-time intern, which is not easy."

Anna's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "How old is Doris's boyfriend?" can directly become the official assistant of the Central Research Institute, which is indeed a rare sentence. ”

"yes." Victor said with full of memories: "At the beginning, I had a colleague who also came out of the Metropolitan Center Research Institute, and there were many talented people there, and if you wanted to occupy a place there, you had to have real skills. ”

"I listened to Lex, a freshman from the Metropolis, who called the Central Research Institute and found Doris's boyfriend, David, but David was so cold that he didn't even want to come over to see Doris for the last time." Schiller said with a sigh.

It's a strange thing, I heard those girls say that the relationship between the two of them is very good, especially David for Doris, every time he comes to Gotham to find her, he has to bring a big bouquet of flowers, and the tone of those girls is full of envy. Victor shook his head.

"The world is so impermanent, so I often advise my students not to focus on falling in love." Anna stepped aside, slammed the book in her hand on the table, and said, "Young love is always impulsive and unreliable, and if Doris hadn't died, she would have been crying for her boyfriend's indifference by now." ”

Schiller looked up at Victor's movements and said, "Is it done?" Aren't you the most famous cryologist in the world? Why is it so troublesome to change a light bulb? ”

"What does cryologist have to do with changing light bulbs?" Victor coughed twice from the dust on the lampshade, and he waved his hand in front of his face to dispel the dust, and continued to fiddle with the light bulb intently.

"This connector is very insensitive, I'm cleaning it, and if I don't clean it, it's still prone to problems when I screw it on...... Oh, okay, I'll screw it on, Anna, you turn on the switch and see if it's on......"

Anna walked outside the room, opened the door of the electrical box, and then lifted the electric switch, and in an instant, the light returned to the room, and both Victor and Schiller breathed a sigh of relief, Schiller reached out and helped Victor get off the stool.

But at this moment, there was a "pop", the light bulb went out again, Victor stumbled in his chair and almost fell, but fortunately he was held up by Schiller, Anna walked back in with a flashlight, and Victor had to stand on the chair again to check the light bulb.

I unscrewed the bulb again and checked it, and he said, "No, it's not the bulb's problem, it seems to be a power outage." ”

At this time, it was early in the morning, and it was pitch black in the unlit room, Anna walked to the door and looked down the hallway, and said, "Okay, it looks like the power is out again in our building." ”

"What the hell is going on lately?" Schiller frowned and walked out of the door, came to the window of the corridor, and said: "There have been seven power outages in three days, and each time there is our building, even the snow disaster is not so serious, what is the power management department doing?" ”

"It's a shame on the power management department, except for Gotham University, the buildings are normal, last time I stopped the electrician who came to repair it, he said it was because of the aging circuit, this is an unsolvable excuse, no one can do anything." Anna shrugged.

"It can't always be like this, it's already affecting normal teaching." Victor also walked out, he said: "Let's go, let's go to the distribution room to see, if it's really the aging of the circuit, I should have a way." ”

"Aren't you from the chemistry department? Do you still know about electricity? …… Oh, you made all the devices that froze your wife yourself, and you don't have a degree in physics and mechanical engineering, do you? Anna asked, raising an eyebrow.

Victor smiled and took the lead, and when he was about to reach the stairwell, he turned around, leaned his elbow on the armrest, and said with a smile: "You got it right, in addition to that, I have a degree in materials science and engineering......

Anna shook her head, shrugged her shoulders, and followed Victor briskly up the stairs, while Schiller paused slightly by the window as he saw a police car parked on the east side of Gotham University, outside the west gate of the gymnasium.

The power distribution room is not far from the teaching building, and the three of them quickly walked into the door of the power distribution room, and it can be seen that there are traces of just overhaul here, but nothing has happened, and the three electrical boxes are not working normally.

Victor began to inspect one by one, and even Anna could help her, while Schiller could only watch dryly, because when the electrical box was opened, there were hundreds of wires inside, and they were all in a mess.

"If you want me to say, this electrical box should be donated to the museum, I have seen at least five generations of technological iterations in it, this should not be made by Europeans, right?" Schiller said incredulously.

"It's not that exaggerated." Victor said while sorting out the wires: "Actually, it's just a mess, just sort it out, if you think it's dusty here, go outside and wait for ...... first."

"Okay, I'll ......" Schiller was just about to turn around and walk out, when there was a "pop", the door to the power distribution room was opened, and several policemen rushed in and pointed guns at the people inside, Schiller frowned, but then saw the familiar Gordon in the crowd.

Seeing that it was Schiller and Victor, Gordon showed a surprised expression, hurriedly shuttled through the crowd, pressed the hand of the police officer in front of him with the gun, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"That's the question I'm going to ask you, Detective Gordon, what are you doing here?"

"That's right......," Gordon explained calmly and methodically, "About half an hour ago, we received a report that another death had occurred at Gotham University, and the location of the incident was in the lounge of the gymnasium. ”

"The victim, Karina, a sophomore at Gotham University and a member of the cheerleading troupe, was strangled with a belt about half an hour ago."

"At the time of the incident, the members of the cheerleading troupe were rehearsing next door, and in just five minutes, Karina lost her breath without any witnesses, because she was ...... at the moment of the incident."

"There's a power outage." Schiller received that the power had gone out in their office about half an hour earlier, so they had come here to check the power distribution room, and apparently the police officers were thinking the same way they did.

Gordon crossed his hands on his hips, sighed and said: "The technician checked the lights in the gymnasium lounge, the bulbs are newly replaced, there is no problem, the electric brake is also working normally, the only thing that may have problems is here." ”

"Hey! Someone help me! Victor suddenly called, and Schiller wanted to walk over, but Gordon gave his subordinate a look, and the young officer walked over and took the flashlight from Victor's hand.

Half of Victor's body was buried in the huge electrical box, as if to check something deeper, and after a while, he straightened up, stroked his somewhat messy hair, and said, "The recent blackout was not accidental, nor was it due to the aging of some circuitry, but man-made." ”

Hearing this, both Gordon and Schiller narrowed their eyes, obviously, they both thought of one thing, and that was the murder of Eucalyptus, and if there was anyone who had a power outage to benefit him, it could only be the murderer of Eucalyptus.

Maybe somewhere else, students might want the school to have a power outage so they don't have to go to class, but at Gotham, even if they don't have classes, there's nowhere to go because it's too dangerous outside.

Staying in a school without electricity is torture when you don't have class, so you don't have a student who spoils the equipment in the power distribution room because they don't want to go to class.

Victor leaned sideways again, and then pointed inside, saying, "The pipeline may be aging, there is not a controller here out of thin air, someone has installed a remote control switch here, if I guess correctly, all the power facilities here have been installed with this thing." ”

"What's the use of that?" Gordon didn't actually see what Victor was pointing at at all, and he was sure that even if he did, he wouldn't understand, so he asked directly.

"Obviously, it can cut off the power to the school, and I suspect it can even control the power outage of a building or even a room."

Victor touched his chin and said: "Actually, if you want to cut off the power of the school's buildings and rooms, you don't need to be so troublesome, just come here, find the electrical box, and then operate it a little, you can do it." ”

"He needs to get such a device, which means that he may not always be able to come here, so he can only control it remotely." Schiller said.

"Then he shouldn't be a student or teacher at Gotham University, maybe an outsider." Gordon speculated that he seemed to have some ideas, then looked at Victor and said, "Professor Victor, please check this device and see if you can follow the signal to find the person holding the remote control, and I'll call up the doorman's surveillance to see if there are any suspicious characters." ”

After saying that, Gordon sighed, and when he kicked out the other police officers, and when he and a few professors were left here, he spoke: "The murder that happened in Gotham University made the godfather very dissatisfied, and he thought that someone was provoking him, so I was also under a lot of pressure. ”

"If you have any clues, be sure to tell me that the students are innocent and I don't want this kind of tragedy to happen again."

As soon as he said this, a police officer rushed in and shouted, "3rd floor! Someone on the 3rd floor has been attacked again!
