Chapter 3768

Good news, it's Pathological, not Agent.

Bad news, not Agent, it's Pathological.

Batman walked in and pretended to be calm as he shook hands with the other party. Jason looked up at him and said, "You know him?"

"Yes, I've heard of him for a long time."

"I apologize for my twin brother who doesn't let people worry." Schiller said with a smile, "He was too young when he started working in law enforcement, so it's inevitable that he wasn't smooth enough. But he was also on duty, so I hope you don't mind."

Jason snorted and said, "He's simply a lunatic!"

Batman's lips moved, obviously having spent a lot of effort to swallow the words that reached his mouth. He sat down on the other side of the hospital bed, looked at Schiller, and said, "Sir, why did you come here?"

"First of all, I came to apologize to Mr. Todd. After all, he was shot and injured, and I don't think this was a fair bullet, so naturally someone needs to be responsible for it. In addition, I heard that Justice Harvey Dent suddenly met with a disaster. As a legal practitioner, I feel extremely sorry for the fall of another star."

"It doesn't matter, I said, as long as you help me stabilize the Defense Group's orders, the next Justice will definitely be you." Jason raised his head slightly and said, "Maybe one day, you can even personally judge your brother in court."

Batman's hand tightened slightly for a moment. He tried hard to suppress the impulse to slap this dead kid, smiled, and said, "So that's how it is. It's just that the Wei En Group doesn't intend to..."

"Cat Getan doesn't only have the Wei En Group, and the presidential candidate isn't only Bruce Wei En." Schiller picked up the water cup. His tone was always very calm and very slow, sounding very hypnotic. Jason was obviously a bit sleepy, but he still tried hard to keep his eyes open, wanting to hear Schiller's follow-up.

"Mr. Oswald Cobblepot approached me, hoping I could be a middleman to take away some of the orders originally supplied to the Wei En Group from Mr. Todd. He guaranteed that he would use part of the arms he purchased to continue to maintain Cat Getan's public order. I think he is indeed an entrepreneur with a sense of social responsibility, so I agreed to him. I also heard that he aspires to run for mayor. If he becomes mayor, it will be even more handy to adjust Cat Getan's defense plan."

Looking at Jason's longing expression, Batman finally couldn't help but clench his fists. He comforted himself in his heart: Jason Todd of this universe has never been Robin, nor is he a member of the Bat-family, and he won't lean toward him for no reason.

But even so, Batman was still amused by his stupidity. Jason being president, his opinion completely depends on who is the last person to talk to him.

Giving up on Wei En and turning to support Cobblepot, this plan sounds very beautiful. Cobblepot succeeds in running for mayor, and can also avoid the legal problems mentioned by the agent, and then turn around and help Schiller, who acted as a middleman, to the position of Justice. In this way, everything remains the same, and there will be no changes; it is simply a perfect solution.

But Batman knows that even if justice is set aside, Cobblepot absolutely has no good intentions. This rhetoric is self-contradictory: if Cobblepot wants to run for mayor, then the one he should strive for most is the support of the Wei En Group, not finding some Defense Group to buy arms. Running for office through regular paths and being an oligarch warlord like Elliott are completely two different paths; if one could take the throne by relying on guns, what would Elliott be looking for the League of Assassins for?

But Jason actually believed it. He actually believed that someone who intends to enter politics would choose some Red Line Defense Group instead of choosing the Wei En Group, and also felt that the two of them could continue to hold this city together.

Jason didn't even see that even Elliott had never ruled this city at all; at most, he had gathered a bunch of security personnel to maintain the public order in the rich area. The so-called old town is actually the city center of Cat Getan—if even the city center cannot be completely controlled, what kind of rule is that?

Also, anyone who has studied a little psychology can see that the relationship between the gentle and elegant man in front of him and the law is not complementary, but can be said to be rooting out. If he becomes Cat Getan's Justice, Batman would be more willing to carry the criminal he just caught to the church and offer three sticks of incense to Jesus.

"Jason, I think you should consider it more carefully..."

"What does this have to do with you?" Jason glared at him and said, "I have nothing to say to you, get out quickly!"

Batman wasn't angry, or rather, he had the magnanimity of not arguing with a dead person. He said, "I don't mean anything else; I just hope that when you choose partners, you still investigate carefully whether they have sufficient funds and qualifications. I believe the Wei En Group will always be your best choice."

"You're willing to talk to me now?"

"I've always been willing, otherwise what were we talking about before?"

"But you didn't refute that agent."

"What he said is right, Mr. Todd. Think about it carefully, what can I refute him with? Should I say that the Wei En Group can ignore federal law and oppress citizens at will? Or can I say that in order to buy arms, I can completely ignore the Wei En Group's business strategy?"

Jason was silent and didn't speak. After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "I will definitely make that bastard look good!"

Batman waited here for a long time, and Schiller didn't mean to leave either. The phone calls from the Wei En Group urging him to go back rang again and again, and Batman had no choice but to choose to leave.

This is a dead end for Jason. Because the agent acted too aggressively, Jason had completely formed a feud with him. He had already determined that the agent was the Schiller he wanted to kill.

Having suffered a loss in the agent's hands, Jason was just in a state of anger. Pathological appeared in the image of the agent's brother, apologizing, asking about his well-being, bringing benefits, and putting forward his own demands, naturally standing on the side of the friend.

Even if Jason understood some psychology and saw something wrong, he wouldn't be willing to give up the retreat of cooperating with Cobblepot. Little did he know, that opponent who looked very dangerous would actually not harm him; while the friend who looked gentle and kind would really take his life.

It's just that Batman couldn't see Pathological's purpose. If he wanted to find Laughing, Laughing was left with only a head, and it was he who cut it off. If he wanted to do something, he would have done it then, and wouldn't have left it alone first, only to want to find it later.

If he was aiming at Jason, there was actually no need to make up any reason like Cobblepot, and he even created a twin brother identity; he could just enter the hospital room and start killing. Judging by Pathological's current speed, one night is enough for Jason to drift into the Atlantic.

Neither to find Laughing's head, nor to kill Jason, then he appeared in the hospital room, found himself an identity, and even very likely communicated with Cobblepot in advance, what was he trying to do?

Batman felt that the effect of this Schiller's medicine might have worn off, and Laughing had also been played half-dead by him; what other reason was there for him to stay here?

Batman always felt he had forgotten something. Just thinking of this, his hand flipping through the documents paused suddenly—Joker Batman!

Batman immediately figured out the key: a Joker who became a vigilante, even he would be very interested, let alone Pathological?

The key is that Joker Batman is not weak either. He is very likely to be able to trace Pathological's clues and peek at the bizarre appearance under the perfect human skin. And Pathological, discovering such an opponent, naturally wouldn't be in a hurry to leave and would definitely trade a few moves with him.

Batman put down the documents in his hand, took the newspaper from this morning from the drawer next to him, read it for a few glances, put it on the desktop, and called the secretary again, asking for the newspapers from a few days ago.

The news at that time was still about the news of the dead person at Elliott's banquet: "A corpse wearing strange clothes fell from the sky, the murderer is nowhere to be found, and the guests have different opinions."

Batman recognized the clothes the corpse was wearing—that was the clothing of the League of Assassins. So he picked up the phone at hand, and after connecting, said to the other side: "Talia, come to my office, I have something to tell you."

Talia came over quickly. Before Batman could say anything, she said herself: "The Court of Owls is very strange recently; they have been supporting March to compete with us, but they have rarely calmed down in the last few days. I feel they have some other conspiracy."

"What do you think it will be?"

"March is simply too eye-catching; this doesn't look like the style of the Court of Owls. I suspect that is a pawn they pushed out to be a shield; they want to support someone else."

"Who could it be?"

"It's not clear yet, but it should be found out soon. What do you want me for?"

Batman handed the newspaper to her and said: "Is the dead person one of your people?"

"Why are you entangled in this too?" Talia frowned and said, "Just an assassin, not a big shot; he was sent by me to protect Elliott. What's wrong with him?"

"He is not important, but the person who killed him is very important."

"You wouldn't suspect that I was the one who did it, right?"

"Elliott suspected that? Then he is indeed a bit stupid." Batman said, "Using a corpse to destroy the banquet has no benefit to you at all. Even if it were the competitor, the Court of Owls, they wouldn't risk being in the spotlight to kill such a small person. This proves that the other party might not be driven by interests, but by passion killing."

"This case hasn't been closed yet? I thought those useless police wouldn't be able to find out and would say he committed suicide."

"Of course not. There were indeed many useless people in the Cat Getan Police Department before, but the one who came recently is not. He is very likely to investigate to the end."

"Who is the murderer?"

"It's not certain yet, but he already has a suspect."

"I don't understand what this is doing at all." Talia said, "A policeman wants to investigate, a murderer wants to run, that's their own business, what does it have to do with us?"

"First of all, if the murderer wants to make it a serial murder case, the people of the League of Assassins will definitely suffer again. Don't say ordinary people can't kill you; the suspect is not an ordinary person." Batman didn't beat around the bush with her either, directly saying, "If Elliott ruled Cat Getan for many years without incident, and a brutal serial murder case broke out just as I returned, how do you think the public will look at me? Will they think Elliott's way is better, and I am useless, and thus choose to vote for my competitor?"

Talia's face became serious. Batman knew he had already fooled her. In fact, he didn't care about the presidential election at all; he was always concerned about the safety of ordinary people.

Pathological wants to deal with Joker Batman, Batman has no opinion; but if they intend to treat human lives as toys, Batman absolutely disagrees. Even if the assassin of the League of Assassins deserves to die, such a serial murder case could cause panic, which is in itself a destruction of order. Batman cannot allow such things to happen.

Although he also felt in his heart that Pathological was the one who did it, Batman still said to Talia: "You go and investigate who killed this person, pull out the police files and autopsy results. I'll go take a look at the crime scene."
