Chapter 3471

Although those who were poisoned cannot completely get rid of suspicion, those who were not poisoned are clearly more suspicious.

After Batman left Jonathan's interrogation room, he found a police officer to ask about the specific situation. The subordinate who had received Gordon's order told Batman the information currently investigated.

There are four faculty and staff members who were not poisoned. Two of them are university professors, namely Schiller and Victor; the other two, one is a sports coach hired by Cat Getan University, currently responsible for the training of the cheerleading dance troupe; the other is the school electrician.

According to the police, the coach ate as usual, and because of participating in sports training, he might have eaten more than other professors, but there was no abnormality from beginning to end.

And the electrician was late because he encountered an emergency circuit repair, and when he came, the main course had already been cleared away, and he only ate some desserts and drank some wine.

It is not difficult to find that the situation of the three people is about the same, they didn't eat much food, and escaped a disaster; only one ate and drank a lot but was not poisoned. Batman had to pay extra attention to him.

However, after an investigation, Batman found that although the coach ate a lot, he had maintained a fitness habit for many years and was currently in the fat reduction period, so he had to keep his diet clean, so the types of food he ate were very few.

According to him, he only ate egg whites, chicken breast, vegetables without any salad seasoning, and didn't touch any other meat, desserts, and wine.

The testimonies of Schiller and Victor also mentioned that they ate vegetables and drank wine. Other professors also indicated that they ate fresh vegetables. This proves that the vegetables should be fine.

But after the inspection results of the food samples came out, it was found that the vegetable salad contained trace toxins, and the symptoms were exactly making people vomit and have diarrhea, and dizziness.

Batman immediately realized that the murderer should have put the poison in the salad dressing.

However, the banquet was not a buffet, and what salad dressing to use was entirely up to oneself. There were four or five kinds of salad dressings at the scene, unless all the sauces were poisoned, it was impossible to poison most people.

When Batman came to Gordon's office, they were also discussing this problem. Seeing Batman come in, Gordon turned his head and said: "We have sent all the sauce bottles at the banquet for inspection. Which kind of sauce is poisonous, there will be an answer soon."

Batman glanced at the situation in the room: Victor and Schiller were sitting on the sofa by the window, Sivana was sitting on the single sofa, and Gordon was standing by the wall.

"Where are the other survivors?" Batman asked.

"They are helping in the hospital. Now the Central Hospital is a mess, and there are too many patients to take care of. The nurses are also too busy, and the manpower that can be mobilized in the school has gone over." Principal Sivana said.

Batman was just about to say something when a police officer rushed in with an inspection report and said: "There is a result."

"Only one of the five sauce bottles was poisoned."

"Which one is it?"

"Oil and vinegar sauce."

"Oh, my God." Victor suddenly made an exclamation. Batman immediately looked at him.

"Usually, the faculty and staff restaurant only supplies oil and vinegar sauce, and we usually only eat this." Victor said.

Batman immediately reacted, which proves that his previous speculation was correct. The person who took action was a faculty and staff member of Cat Getan University.

Because only faculty and staff would know that the restaurant usually only supplies oil and vinegar sauce, and most people are used to eating oil and vinegar sauce. Using the habits of the professors, only poisoning the oil and vinegar sauce bottle can poison most people.

"Don't you have the habit of eating salad dressing usually?" Batman asked.

"I don't have the habit of eating vegetable salad," Victor said, "I almost don't eat vegetable salad, and I didn't eat it at the banquet."

"Professor Rodriguez, I remember you mentioned that you ate vegetables. Didn't you add salad dressing?"

Schiller shook his head and said: "I never eat salad dressing, and others who have dined in the restaurant can testify for me."

"Are there other people in the school who don't add salad dressing like you?"

"I'm not clear, but at least I haven't seen it."

Now everyone has a reason for not being poisoned, Batman thought. Victor doesn't eat vegetables, Schiller doesn't use salad dressing, the coach doesn't eat salad dressing for fitness, and the electrician was late and didn't catch up.

Then starting from here, no clues can be found. Batman called Gordon out and said to him: "I need the resumes of these people."

"Do you suspect they are the murderers?"

"Just can't rule out this possibility. Can you give me their information?"

Gordon nodded. After a while, he took the printed documents and gave them to Batman, then said: "I hope you don't let them know. These professors are the precious talents of Cat Getan University and can't afford any more storms."

Batman nodded and picked up the document to read.

Reading it, Batman basically ruled out Victor's suspicion. Because he was the only one among the three who had a higher chemical education background.

Although Victor is a physicist, low-temperature physics also needs to involve chemical knowledge, or low-temperature physics is a combination of physics and chemistry. Victor's chemical level is definitely not bad.

And because of his identity, he is more likely to get some toxic raw materials, and with the help of laboratory instruments, he can achieve extremely precise proportions, and also has better delivery methods, not to the point of making it like this.

The other three are about the same, pure laymen, almost no chemical education background, and never enter the laboratory. The suspicion of these three people is the greatest.

Batman originally thought that the electrician who was late was the most suspicious. However, the police gave the inquiry result: the school auditorium was powered off at that time, and there were hundreds of witnesses for the alibi. The electrician's suspicion was also ruled out.

Then the remaining psychology professor and sports coach, the suspicion is basically equal. Batman's eyes wandered between Schiller and the coach's photos, and finally stopped on Schiller's photo.

There is indeed no evidence to prove that this psychology professor is the murderer, but years of detective intuition made Batman feel that this professor who looks refined is by no means a good person.

Although there is no evidence to prove that this psychology professor is the murderer, years of detective intuition made Batman feel that this professor who looks refined is by no means a good person.

However, it was dawn now. Except for Jonathan's time, no one had any reason to stay in the police station. Batman couldn't leave anyone alone for conversation without evidence, so he could only let them go.

To ensure Jonathan's safety, Batman left Superman in the police station. He himself went to the Cat Getan Police Station in the name of investigation, and also wanted to observe whether this Professor Rodriguez had any flaws.

After Batman left, Superman felt a bit bored. He sat on the chair outside the interrogation room, watching the police come and go.

A police officer carrying coffee walked over, sighed when he sat down, and looked a bit tired.

Superman turned his head and saw that this person was very strong and had a big beard.

And then suddenly, he realized that the other party's heartbeat frequency and blood flow speed were a bit wrong.

With a "click," the door of the interrogation room was opened. Jonathan Crane, who was counting the time in his heart, looked up and saw a pair of red eyes.

"Long time no see, Professor."

Jonathan narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know the big-bearded man standing in front of him, and he was sure he had never seen him before.

The red light from the other party's eyes proved that he should not be human, and he came with bad intentions.

Seeing the other party's heaving chest, Jonathan relaxed slightly, pretending to be calm and putting his hands on the table, saying: "I haven't been a professor for a few days, how come I've heard of your name for a long time?"

"You don't have to be humble. We all know what you did," the other party sat down on the chair behind the table and said, "I came here today to talk to you about cooperation."

"Cooperate on what?"

"I need... to be precise, we need to have some influence on the Justice League."

"Who are 'you'?"

"This you don't need to know. We just hope you can do us a favor."

"Do what favor?"

"If you die, the Justice League will definitely be in turmoil. Then they will show flaws, and we can win in one fell swoop."

"Wait," Jonathan finally realized something was wrong and said, "What does the Justice League have to do with me?"

"It's too late to try to clear the relationship now, Professor. We all know that you have a very good relationship with the members of the Justice League, especially the soul figure Bruce among them..."

"Interrupt for a moment," Jonathan stretched out a hand and said, "Not to mention whether my relationship with the members of the Justice League is good or not, do you think the soul figure of the Justice League is Bruce?"

"Isn't it?"

"If you say it is, then it is."

Jonathan had no intention of arguing with him, because he suddenly understood why a series of strange conversations appeared since he came to the police station.

"SCHILLER!!!!!" Jonathan roared in his heart, "You bastard, how dare you throw the pot on me!!!"

He said why Batman was so polite; it turns out he treated me as Bruce's teacher. I worked so hard to return to Cat Getan University to be a professor, just to be a scapegoat for you?!

But roaring is roaring, Jonathan realized the seriousness of the matter almost for the first time.

Because he knew that this Batman didn't come alone, but also brought Superman, and Superman should be guarding his door. If so, how did this guy get in?

Whether he defeated Superman mentally or physically, it proved that this person in front of him was very terrifying.

More importantly, the other party treated him as a professor who had a huge influence on the Justice League, and was probably determined to kill him here. If there is any mistake, it is not that the house is taken back, his whole person is going to see God.

But Jonathan is worthy of being Scarecrow who can fight back and forth with Batman. The more urgent the situation, the calmer he is, and he has even abandoned all emotions, and the operation of his brain almost vibrates ripples in the air.

Although he is not a professor, he must be a professor now.

Because the professor has value, Jonathan Crane does not.

The other party didn't take action the first time he came in, which proves that there is room for negotiation. This is the first judgment Jonathan made.

It is more likely that the other party is also worried that the professor has a backup plan. This proves that they don't know enough about the professor, and there is a possibility of being fooled. This is Jonathan's second judgment.

The other party absolutely cannot kill Superman, maybe just temporarily repelled or controlled him. But Superman will wake up soon, and the other party's time is also limited. They are more anxious than him. This is Jonathan's third judgment.

To sum up, open your mouth to stabilize him first, and then find an opportunity to kill him.

"I didn't expect you to find me," Jonathan lowered his eyes, while cursing Schiller in his heart, while learning his appearance and saying, "I thought you would recklessly attack the Justice League until you lost all your advantages. You are smarter than those people before."

"It seems we found the right person, Professor," the man with the big beard said.

Jonathan shook his head and said: "But the smart ones are really limited. If you are really smart enough, you shouldn't come to me."

The big beard took a step closer and looked down at Jonathan and said: "Are you counting on that big guy outside? I'm afraid he can't help you."

"I don't need him to help me."

For Scarecrow Jonathan Crane, what is more famous than his chemical technology is his achievements in psychology and neuroscience. Fear gas is his proud work, and the key lies in the fear effect of the gas.

This thing can poison Batman, which means it can poison all creatures with a respiratory system.

Just now Jonathan had already discovered that the other party needed to breathe. Since this is the case, fear gas can also solve him.

Jonathan leaned his body against the back of the chair and reached out to touch his waist—there will always be a small bottle of fear gas compressed into liquid there.

But he only touched a piece of emptiness.

Schiller, who returned to his office at Cat Getan University, took out a small glass bottle from his pocket, which contained half a bottle of dark green liquid. He shook the bottle gently and said with a smile:

"Long time no see, fear venom."
