Chapter 1186 Who Can Make Schiller Confess His Guilt? (Part 1)
In the office of the FBI base in the metropolitan area, Jimmy, who was sitting at the conference table, stood up and shook hands with Bruce who had just walked in.
The strong black agent always looked a little serious. He took a step back and let Bruce walk into the office. The two sat down at the table.
"Mr. Wayne, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to cooperate with the investigation and contribute to the federal security and education." Jimmy flattered Bruce a few words as usual.
Bruce shook his head slightly, revealing a worried look, and looked at Jimmy and said, "You should know why I came here. I don't want my educational background to be tainted, and I don't want the Wayne Group to be involved in this matter."
"I came here to ensure that your investigation will not affect my business, let alone any rumors that will affect my personal reputation."
Bruce's words were very straightforward, but Jimmy didn't mind. He looked at Bruce's expression seriously and said, "Mr. Wayne, please believe in the ability of the FBI. We will enforce the law impartially and do our best to give everyone a satisfactory result."
"Okay, let's stop the polite time." Bruce seemed a little impatient. He looked at Jimmy and said, "What do you want to ask me?"
Before Jimmy could speak, Bruce spread his hands and said, "You should know that I am responsible for the Wayne Group and don't have that much time to go to school. If you want to learn about Professor Rodriguez's personal habits from me, you are overthinking."
"Of course." Jimmy Jimmy nodded and said, "This is just a routine inquiry. It will not involve any privacy between you and the other party. If you feel uncomfortable with the questions I ask next, you can refuse to answer them."
"Wait, you are not going to do a psychological assessment or psychological profile on me, are you?" Bruce frowned and said, "Don't play this trick on me. No politician or businessman will allow anyone to pry into their hearts."
Looking at Bruce's very resistant expression, Jimmy sighed softly and said, "Mr. Wayne, calm down. You have not accused Professor Rodriguez. As long as you do not claim that you have been abused by him, we will not conduct any psychological tests on you."
Bruce rolled his eyes and said, "Roman and Thomas and I know each other. I didn't expect that they are such hypocritical people. What can a university professor do to them? Is there no one in the Sionis family and the Elliot family?"
Hearing this, Jimmy's eyebrows trembled slightly, but he did not respond immediately, but silently remembered what Bruce said in his heart.
This is actually a suspicious point that Jimmy found during the investigation. Logically, as the eldest sons and heirs of two big families, Roman and Thomas should be like what Bruce described, running around in the business world every day and having little time to go to school.
Even if they have to go to school to deal with the professor for their own good reputation, they will not be trapped in the school and have to accept someone's abuse. They are fully capable of getting out at any time.
Generally speaking, bullying in the teacher-student relationship exists when the teacher is very strong but the students have no ability to resist.
The two rich second-generations should not have no ability to resist, and their relationship with their teachers is not so unequal.
Of course, Jimmy would not think that Schiller could clear his suspicion because of this. In the end, it still depends on the testimony of the accuser and what happens when the two parties confront each other.
"Okay, Mr. Wayne, let's get started. Since you haven't made any accusations against Professor Rodriguez, we will only ask some very simple questions."
Jimmy leaned forward, looked at Bruce and said, "In your impression, what kind of person do you think this professor is?"
"A very typical university teacher." Bruce replied, "He enters the classroom two minutes early to give lectures, leaves immediately after class, and can make people fall asleep three times in ten minutes when teaching theoretical classes. When conducting debate topics, he is fair and impartial."
"Can you use one word to describe your first impression of him?"
"Strict." Bruce replied.
Jimmy nodded, then asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable with this kind of strictness?"
Bruce pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said: "Whether a strict teacher is good or not often depends on your attitude towards learning. If you want to study hard, a teacher with high academic level, seriousness and strictness will certainly be more popular."
"But if you just want to fool around like me, but you happen to meet a strict teacher, I'm afraid you will curse him ten thousand times in your heart every day."
"Have you done this?" Jimmy tilted his head slightly, raised his eyelids, and looked at Bruce from above his eyes.
Bruce shook his head and said: "Why should I be so hard on such a professor? Anyone with a conscience knows that he is also for your own good. He is just fulfilling his duties as a teacher. He wants to teach me, but I don't need to learn. It can only be said that we have no common interests, but not hatred."
Jimmy frowned slowly. This famous Little Wayne was indeed, as rumored, a somewhat dissolute but business-minded genius businessman. He always talked about common interests and never made sharp statements. He was smooth in dealing with any problems and did not target anyone.
But I have to admit that Bruce's statement made some sense. Roman and Thomas, who made the main accusation, were actually from business families. They chose the psychology department because they thought that psychology might give them some advantages in the business world.
If the family's business was busy and they had little time to study, but the teacher asked them to study hard, they should understand that the teacher was just doing his duty. Even if he gave them something they didn't need, they wouldn't turn against each other, right?
Besides, there was actually no benefit in offending such a famous scholar. Businessmen all liked to find common interests and make friends.
No shrewd businessman would make a mockery and indifference to someone just because he couldn't use them for a while, and make enemies with them. This was completely against the businessman's smooth instinct.
So Jimmy looked into Bruce's eyes and asked him, "What do you think of Roman and Thomas? Are you friends? How is your relationship?"
"We can be called friends." Bruce gave an ambiguous answer and said, "I am friends with everyone in Gotham. Even if he doesn't like me, he can always use me."
Jimmy also understood his implication. To put it bluntly, considering the size of the Wayne Group, no business family would not want to curry favor with Bruce Wayne.
"I'll tell you the truth." Bruce shook his head helplessly and said, "They both seem to have a good relationship with me on the surface, but they must be jealous of me in private. My parents passed away and I took over the Wayne Group early on. They are truly in power, but they are still under the jurisdiction of their parents and have basically no freedom. Of course they will be jealous of me."
Bruce touched his chin and said, "Some time ago, I heard that Thomas was imprisoned and was accused of murdering his parents. I didn't see that he had such a big conflict with his parents on weekdays."
"And that Roman, I heard that he was arrested for planning a hospital murder some time ago. I was surprised that he didn't quickly hire a few good lawyers to help him get rid of the crime, but instead jumped out to accuse a university teacher."
Jimmy narrowed his eyes slowly He closed his eyes and looked at Bruce and said, "I can tell that you want to defend your university professor, but the FBI has already investigated the situation you described."
"Of course, Thomas and Roman are both murderers. Personally, I don't think cruel criminals deserve sympathy."
"But from the perspective of federal law, murderers and students are two different identities. They will go to jail and pay the price for the murder charge, but they can still exercise their rights as students and accuse their teachers."
Bruce spread his hands, shook his head, showing an absurd expression, and then looked into Jimmy's eyes and said, "Now that you say that, what else can I say? Do you have any other questions?"
Jimmy looked down at the documents at hand, and then continued, "You and Has Professor Rodriguez had any private contact? How is your relationship? "
"Of course we have had contact. I even invited him to Wayne Manor for dinner. I think it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with such a scholar, but when it comes to personal relationships..." Bruce shook his head and said, "You should also be able to imagine that such a strict teacher prefers good students. As for me..."
Bruce did not continue to speak, Jimmy also understood what he meant. Suddenly, Bruce snapped his fingers and said, "Didn't you ask Evans? Oh, it's little Falcone, he is Schiller's favorite student... Wait a minute, what nonsense am I talking about? How can you interrogate Falcone?"
Jimmy showed a helpless smile, tilted his head to the side, his eyebrows pressed tightly against his eyes, and then he said: "That's the problem. I understand that you want to help Professor Rodriguez, but in fact, the vast majority of students we investigated did not have a very positive evaluation of him."
"And most of the good students you mentioned are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, let alone allow the FBI to conduct psychological evaluations on them. You should understand that this will lead to Professor Rodriguez's evaluation results being more negative."
Bruce pondered for a moment, then said, "Do you want me to persuade students from Falcone or other mafia families to come forward?"
Before Jimmy could answer, Bruce said, "No mafia family can bow to the FBI. Whether you want to bring them here or you want to enter Gotham, this is an infringement on them."
"I know that the Constitution and national honor give you the right to walk on every inch of federal land. It is their fault that they don't let you get close, but from a practical point of view, you have no way to correct these mistakes for the time being, and there is no way to make them pay for their mistakes."
"You'd better not think of asking me to persuade them. Although Wayne Group has business all over the world, I am still a Gotham man. Wayne Group is also a local enterprise in Gotham. If there is a conflict with the local gangs, I will not be able to live in Gotham in the future."
Jimmy looked at Bruce silently, and Bruce also looked at him. After a while, Jimmy nodded, accepting the result.
He put the documents away, but did not stand up and shake hands with Bruce immediately. Instead, he sat there with his hands on the table and said to Bruce: "I can express my personal opinion on this investigation to you. I think that criminals who can commit such cruel acts of killing their parents and other strangers are not worthy of sympathy at any time."
"Their accusations against others are completely thieves crying thieves. There are probably some unspeakable secrets behind them." Jimmy's expression was very calm, as if he was not expressing such a slightly radical view.
"I hope to fight for justice for both parties, including Professor Rodriguez, but the problem is that we have too little evidence in his favor from the investigation."
Jimmy stood up with the document, tapped the edge of the document on the table twice to align the paper, and said to Bruce in an inexplicable tone:
"Mr. Wayne, if you don't want your educational background to have another stain, you'd better act quickly."
