The lights of Wayne Manor flickered in the night rain of Gotham, like candles that could be extinguished at any moment, but this fire had been lit here for decades, and whether its owner returned or not, the loyal butler would always be here to guard the beacon of the long night.

Alfred picked up a gardening shovel and uprooted a broccoli in the garden, then threw it off the fence and smashed it on the head of a mad pedestrian, causing him to let out a scream.

Alfred drew a cross on his chest and said, "I'm sorry, but it's good if it clears you up."

Then he shook his head again and said, "Miss Aisha doesn't like broccoli, and although I think she should eat more vegetables, I don't have to have the whole garden covered with broccoli, it will make her sneeze."

After saying that, he began to continue to eradicate the broccoli that had been turned into vines, with a gardening shovel in one hand and a logging axe in the other, no broccoli could survive under his hands for more than three minutes, and in a short time, the broccoli that had been cut down had already formed a hill.

Just then, he heard the bell on the mailbox ring, and Alfred glanced up at the sky, and it was clear that now was not the time for a newsboy to deliver the newspaper.

He frowned, but put down the tools in his hand, went to the tool room next to him to change his clothes and shoes, walked through the hall to the door, and then saw Merkel in a raincoat with an anxious face.

"Why are you here at this time?" Alfred asked as he opened the door.

"Actually, I should have come earlier." Merkel's voice was very hoarse, and he said, "But I have to get rid of the people who are staring at me first."

Alfred immediately glanced warily left and right, and then said to Merkel, "Follow me."

He took Merkel back to the garden, put him in the gardener's attire, gave him a gardening shovel, and the two of them went to the emptiest area in the middle of the garden, and then Alfred asked as he shoveled the floor, "What's wrong?" You're being targeted?"

Merkel clutched the garden shovel with her hand and said, "CIA agents broke into the Rodriguez estate and arrested Mr. Schiller."

Alfred's movements paused, and he asked, "Why?" What reason do they have for arresting such a respected professor?"

"They say he's the KGB......" Merkel's voice trembled a little, "I should have thought a long time ago, if he really wasn't ours, how could he possibly tolerate me messing around the manor?"

"Can you imagine? An outright American who pretends he doesn't know anything when he knows his butler might be a Soviet spy?"

Merkel tapped on the ground with some annoyance and said, "Originally, I thought that he might just agree with our philosophy or have friends over there, but I didn't expect him to be ......."

"Calm down, Merkel." Alfred's tone was still calm, and he asked, "How many people did they come, and what kind of dress did they make?" What kind of car are you driving?"

Merkel briefly described it, Alfred nodded and said, "That's okay, it should be just an ordinary arrest, everything is still salvageable, so let's contact Kayla ...... first....

But at this time, Merkel looked Alfred in the eye and said, "Indeed, I also know that at the beginning it was just an ordinary arrest, and they came very few people and did not show much attention."

"Professor Schiller, however, said that he was the organizer and leader of the Central American Revolution and that he wanted to apply for the protection of important witnesses." Merkel sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid it's because he knows that his exposure is inevitable, so he wants to put on this identity and protect our comrades."

Alfred's expression stiffened, but before he could say anything, Merkel said to herself:

"According to what I've received, the FBI, the CIA, and the KGB are all investigating Central America, and Mexico is now in a mess, and if Schiller comes out at this time, it will indeed attract most of the attention."

"In this way, the pressure on the shoulders of the comrade who led the revolution in Central America

It may be smaller, but it also means that Professor Schiller will have to deal with those terrible interrogators!"

"They're going crazy now!" Merkel raised her voice and emphasized: "They are no longer afraid to use any means, Mr. Schiller stands up at this time, even if he has the ability beyond ordinary people, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, we must find a way to save him!"

After saying that, he sighed again and said, "But I don't dare to contact Moscow rashly, I also know that the CIA has been trying to find answers from within us, and if I pass this news back, I am afraid that they will get Professor Schiller's flaws based on this, which will make the interrogation he faces even more severe."

Merkel obviously didn't know what to do, his face was very bad, he looked very guilty, he said: "I'm such a fool, in fact, I obviously guessed, Professor Schiller may be the same as us, I obviously feel that he is very similar to us, but I think, he doesn't want to say, I don't need to keep asking."

"Or rather, I think we all have our own tasks, and I don't have to ask him to help me do my job, it's all because of my arrogance, we lost the most important window of communication, I didn't give him any important information, he didn't leave me any important information, it's really deadly!"

After listening to Merkel's words, Alfred fell into thinking, as soon as the Mexican Revolution came out, everyone was looking for the organizers of the movement, including the KGB.

The KGB searched inside for a long time, but did not find this person, and finally they set their eyes on Alfred, which is actually not a coincidence, this inference is very reasonable, because Alfred's level is actually higher than Batman imagined.

Judging from the Philby list incident, at the beginning, Philby had already sat in the position of the head of the British intelligence organization, and at this time, he was investigated and strictly controlled, and the standard of this investigation and control was very high.

No matter how stupid the British intelligence services are, they know what the consequences will be if something goes wrong with their own boss, so they are rarely united, and the situation that Philby faced at the beginning was completely life-and-death. ….

However, at this time, Alfred was able to get in touch with Philby. Even being able to bring the list out is enough to show that his status in Britain is not low, and the status of such an informant within the KGB is the same.

This status actually comes from the hereditary butler family Peniworth, who sounds like vassals of the nobility, but in fact, on the contrary, the Pennyworth family comes from the era of real monarchy and has served several English kings.

After the establishment of the hypocrisy, they still have a close relationship with the British royal family, and there have been several generations of Whitehall butlers and the so-called No. 10 living ministers, and their network of relationships is all over the British high society.

Such a man joined forces with Philby, who controlled the British intelligence organization, and was almost invincible.

In addition, Alfred had been silent in the United States for many years and had plenty of time to lay the groundwork and lead such an event, so the KGB felt that Alfred was very likely.

Of course, they weren't sure, but the reason why they gave Alfred the Order of the Red Banner and the handwritten letter was nothing more than a temptation, and the result was very satisfying to them, and Alfred didn't deny it, which means that although he didn't necessarily organize it, he must have known about it.

But in fact, Alfred was completely unaware, and the reason why he recognized this matter was actually to cover up for the real organizers.

Intelligence work is like this, each other's information is not transparent, and you have to beware not only of each other, but also of your own people.

Alfred didn't know what the purpose of the person who sent the medal and the letter was, whether he wanted to deceive the real organizer through him, so he simply recognized the name, and even if someone wanted to follow this clue to find the organizer, they could only find his head.

And finding Alfred's head is tantamount to throwing himself into a net, not to mention the defenses of Batman and Wayne Manor, the chaos in Gotham alone is enough for them to drink a pot.

But when Alfred listened

When Schiller was said to have recognized the name, another suspicion arose in him.

It is true that Schiller, like him, wanted to cover for the real organizers, but there is also the possibility that Schiller was the real organizers.

Although Merkel is Schiller's butler, he is far from knowing Schiller as well as Alfred, on the one hand, Alfred is an old friend of the godfather and the old priest, when Schiller first came to Gotham, the old priest noticed him and recommended him to the godfather, and at the same time, he also entered Alfred's field of vision.

Alfred was on a higher level than Merkel, and at the same time, as a person of the same generation as Kimphil, he was much stronger than Merkel in terms of struggle experience and intuitive judgment, so he felt that Schiller might be the same kind of person as him a long time ago.

Later, Bruce became Schiller's student, and Alfred interacted with Schiller more and more, and later, Dick and Aisha often went to Rodriguez Manor to take classes, and Alfred and Schiller became more and more acquainted.

Of course, he knew that the professor had many abilities that ordinary people did not have, and that he was not as indifferent to politics as he seemed, and Alfred always believed that Schiller had been stirring up the situation in the world in his own way.

So when thinking carefully about the organizer of the Mesoamerican revolution, Alfred felt. Schiller is quite likely.

Although he had never heard of Schiller's name in the KGB, this was also normal, many of the KGB's bureaus did not communicate with each other, and the personnel did not know each other, perhaps, this revolution was the result of Schiller's coming to the East Coast to lurk and carry out long-term secret missions.

Thinking of this, Alfred frowned, he turned to look at Merkel and said, "Do you remember the car that took Schiller? Do you know which way they are taking?"

"Of course." Merkel replied, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then said, "Originally, I was going to pursue it immediately, but they left a few agents watching us from the manor, and I had to find a reasonable excuse to leave."

"And. Gotham is in chaos right now, the streets are full of broccoli and biting maniacs, and I'm afraid I can't deal with so many agents on my own, that's why I'm coming to you, Alfred."

Alfred nodded, and was about to speak, when he heard the phone in the hall ring suddenly, and after he walked over, he picked up the receiver, and Kayla's slightly anxious voice came from the other side:

"Alfred, just now I received information from the CIA that the organizers of the Central American revolution have been arrested......

"However, the escort agent sent by the FBI disappeared along with the escort target!"
