Chapter 26: Failed Zero-Yuan Purchase Plan
"For this class assignment, I want to give extra praise to Mr. Robert. The argument he put forward for emotion split analysis is very consistent with the theory I talked about in class. Of course, Miss Hoff wrote the most words this time, but I must say that the number of words does not represent the quality of completion. I would be happier if you could make your argument clear within 3,000 words."
"And as expected, there is still one person who has not handed in the assignment this time. Mr. Wayne, please come to my office after class. If you are not going to complete the assignment, then I think you don't need to take the final exam. After all, if you don't have any homework points, even if you take the exam, you will definitely not get the credits for the semester."
Schiller closed the textbook in front of him and said, "get out of class dismissed."
Gotham University is located on the east coast of the United States. As everyone knows, almost all famous universities in the United States are located on the east coast, including Harvard, MIT, Princeton, etc.
Gotham University is not a competitor of these schools. Although it is a national university recognized by the country, it is not an Ivy League school. Moreover, Gotham City is a place with notorious public security. Almost no American students will apply to this university. Even those who can go to college in Gotham can apply to good universities nearby.
This leads to the fact that the students who stay at Gotham University are either unable to apply to outside schools or are foreign students.
It is difficult to expect these people to have good grades. Most of them can complete their homework on time because of Schiller's fierce reputation.
But this is not the biggest reason why Gotham University is not ranked high. After all, Gotham University has an extremely strong backup support like the Wayne family. Even if it spends money, it can invite many top professors. With top professors and top laboratory equipment, there is no worry about not being able to attract high-end talents. If you have to talk about public security issues, in fact, as long as you don't leave Gotham University, it is still very safe.
The problem is that the president of Gotham University has always been unwilling to let the Wayne family control the school too much. Don't think he is so noble. Gotham University is his bargaining chip for moving up in the political arena, and he is unwilling to give this fruit to the Wayne family.
Therefore, Gotham University has been in a half-dead state, and Schiller is very dissatisfied with this. He doesn't want to have a teaching experience in a school ranked at the bottom on his perfect resume.
So no matter how chaotic Gotham is, Schiller just wants to farm at Gotham University. He set a small goal for himself, that is, to make Gotham University a member of the Ivy League first.
They are all northeastern universities, and Gotham University's football team has good results. Joining the Ivy League is not too much, right?
Before that, Batman and other criminals didn't want to care even if they beat their brains out.
In the afternoon, after Bruce came to Schiller's office, he explained: "Professor, it's not that I didn't write the paper. I'll ask my butler to send the USB drive over later..."
"If you don't bring it, you don't write it." Schiller said viciously.
He knocked on the table and said, "If I can't do anything about Bruce not doing his homework, then other people won't be affected. That's what you think, right? After all, it's normal for people in the Wayne family to have some privileges."
"But the hundreds of millions of dollars you donated to the school didn't fall into my pocket, so if you don't do your homework again, I will still deduct all your credits and you won't get your diploma."
Bruce whispered, "In fact, I have already got my diploma, and the factory that prints the diploma is also mine."
Schiller touched his forehead and said, "Why am I talking to you, a damn rich second generation... How is your investigation going?"
"Ms. Christine did not leave Gotham University. She disappeared in the school, but this matter has nothing to do with Jonathan, because he disappeared after Jonathan was arrested."
"Do you have any suspects?" Schiller asked.
"In fact, the president of Gotham University is highly suspected."
Before Schiller could question him, Bruce said, "I really don't have any evidence to prove that he kidnapped Christine, but the three jurors who actively tried to exonerate Jonathan, as well as Jonathan's defense lawyer, are all from a well-known gang in East Gotham, the Red Crow Gang."
"And the president of Gotham University is a friend of the gang boss. They once attended the mayor's dinner together, and most importantly, his daughter married the head of the Red Crow Gang who is in charge of smuggling logistics."
"But Christine plays a very important role in this story. What kind of role? As far as I know, she is just an ordinary girl, but she is very beautiful. "
"I suspect Miss Christine may have heard something about the principal's conspiracy about Jonathan."
Bruce put his arms on the table and frowned and said, "You know, the football league is about to start, and the cheerleading group has a lot of things to deal with. Their dance clothes for the new season have not been approved. Christine is very anxious about this. She chose to go to the principal, and maybe she heard something she shouldn't have heard at that time."
"Do you have any evidence?" Schiller asked.
"I think I won't dwell on the evidence anymore. Of course, I won't go to the principal so arbitrarily, because it might alert the enemy."
Schiller said: "I suspect Miss Christine is not dead yet. You know, if the person who did it is really the principal, then he is unlikely to kill Christine directly, because the cheerleading group can't replace a leader in such a short time, and if there is a problem with the cheerleading group, it will definitely affect the results of the football game. This is the only thing Gotham University can show off, and it is part of the principal's personal resume."
Bruce sighed and said: "In any case, Miss Christine is innocent."
"Have you seen Gordon recently? How is his progress?"
"Not very smooth, I think if I can find Miss Christine, let As a witness, she accused this group of people of deliberately escaping the crime, so maybe Jonathan can go to jail. "
"In fact, have you ever thought about it? Jonathan doesn't have to go to Gotham Prison to go to jail."
"You want me to build a private prison?"
Schiller didn't say anything, he just stood up and said, "Do you plan to follow this process for every criminal you catch in the future?"
"Or do you think it's interesting to deal with them in these unfair judicial trial procedures?"
"With this time, you can deal with the gangs in not only the Mossen block, but also the two or three blocks around."
"What exactly is Batman supposed to do, you know better than me, Bruce."
Bruce left again with a lot on his mind.
Schiller still had another problem to solve, that is, if Jonathan went to jail, no matter which jail he went to, the source of fear gas would be unstable. Sooner or later, the ones he had would run out, and he himself did not have the formula, let alone how to mix it. It would be a pity if this useful weapon disappeared.
Schiller was more cunning than the rampaging Batman now. He knew that the best way now was not to find Jonathan to ask for the formula of fear gas, let alone to pull him out of jail and control him to work for himself, which was troublesome and dangerous.
What he had to do was to find a buyer for Jonathan, let those people ask for the formula, control Jonathan to work, and then Schiller continued to steal the ready-made fear gas.
Those people would not do anything good with the fear gas, so wouldn't it be enough to just not let them get it?
The question was, all for free purchases, you produce it over there and I steal it over here, as much as you produce, how much you steal, with the weapon of gray fog, can you still catch me?
Jonathan is still too young now. Schiller estimates that he has probably handed over the formula of fear gas a long time ago. After those people get the formula, they have many ways to make it.
Schiller knows that since these people want to do something big, the amount of fear gas will not be as small as Jonathan's. If they want to produce this gas on a large scale, they must have a factory assembly line.
There are many chemical plants in Gotham, but most of them are not very professional. If you want a production line for high-end chemical preparations, there is only one place, that is Wayne Chemical Plant.
No matter how these people try to cover up and operate, if they want to achieve their goals, they will definitely not be able to bypass the production line of Wayne Chemical Plant.
With the ability of gray fog, Schiller can go farther at night.
As he expected, it was another rainy night. Schiller saw a car with a license plate ending in 676 outside the railing of Wayne Chemical Plant and drove into the chemical plant.
In the next few days, trucks kept shuttling between Wayne Chemical Plants, seemingly transporting some large equipment. Schiller did not intend to stop them, but tracked the trucks and found the destination where they smuggled the chemical plant production line.
It was quite natural that it was in the east of Gotham City, where the Red Crow Gang was located. There was also a chemical plant there, but it was not as large as the Wayne Chemical Plant. The production line equipment stolen from the Wayne Chemical Plant was transported to this small chemical plant.
But things did not go as planned. As soon as the production line started, problems arose. First, they were short of several machines. After all, the production line of the Wayne Chemical Plant was not prepared for the production of fear gas, and some machines needed to be purchased now.
Second, the chemists they found did not seem to be as good as Jonathan. The experiments before the assembly line did not go smoothly. The effect of the copied fear gas was not as strong as Jonathan's, and it was not as good as his concentration.
So all the problems came back to the problem of getting Jonathan out. Although Jonathan, the straw man criminal, was a rookie, his professional level was very strong. The Red Crow Gang couldn't just get rid of him, so they had to find a way to help him get out of the crime.
Schiller didn't expect that this gangster group was so stupid. They got the formula, but they still couldn't produce it. He had already planned to block the delivery port of the production line and swallow as much as it could produce.
Schiller's zero-dollar purchase plan failed, but he didn't plan to give up. Since the Red Crow Gang couldn't do it, he had to find a more powerful buyer for Jonathan, such as Sal Maroni.
