Chapter 3847
"Agent Romanoff? Agent Romanoff?!"
Seeing Natasha heard someone calling her, so she opened her eyes hard. The dazzling light made her think of the white light she saw before losing consciousness—shining in from outside the glass full of rain, not conforming to any physical laws, exceptionally cold, exceptionally gentle.
Seeing Natasha opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Schiller's face, she subconsciously reached out and pinched Schiller's neck.
Schiller didn't make a sound, just let out a very low gasping sound. Looking at his wrinkled, exceptionally sharp eyebrows and drooping brow tails, Seeing Natasha came back to her senses.
"Sorry, Agent, I just haven't woken up yet." Seeing Natasha withdrew her hand.
"Do you remember what happened?" Schiller asked.
Seeing Natasha frowned, she began to recall, and then said: "After I fought with the President's security consultant, reporters rushed in, and I found a red-haired figure in the crowd. I chased out, and then she told me her name was Lena Luthor..."
"Luthor?"
"Yes, she said she was Lex Luthor's sister." Seeing Natasha took a breath and continued, "We talked about what she did before, I pointed out some suspicious points, and then..."
"Then what?"
"I realized something was wrong." Seeing Natasha turned her head to look at Schiller and said, "Where is Moon Knight now?"
"Remember the Justice League is going to build a base in Cat Getan? Now all Justice League members have gone to the site selection location, and Batman seems to be planning to perform a magic trick for them."
"Magic trick? What magic trick?"
"Conjuring a building out of thin air, using magic."
"Using magic? In other words, he really obtained energy from Mount Olympus. Are the gods dead?"
"Most of them were sucked dry by Batman, but there are still some things remaining on Mount Olympus. He plans to borrow the power of the Justice League to deal with them, but that's a matter for the future."
"I don't want to joke anymore." Seeing Natasha stared at Schiller very seriously and said, "How much do you know about what happened in this universe?"
"It's a pity that I don't know any more than you do, ma'am."
"Lena Luthor admitted it, the photos from the 14th camera were taken by her. Now there are only two possibilities left: either she is lying, or Schiller is lying."
"I don't think Schiller would lie in a professional aspect." Schiller said very firmly, "He might hide part of the facts, might deliberately add some misleading words, but in the part related to his profession, he would never say false things, let alone say wrong things."
"But Lena is clearly not the type of person he described." Seeing Natasha said, "Although I don't have any mind-reading skills, I am at least a Black Widow who has undergone professional training. Lena Luthor is a very beautiful woman, she knows how to use this beauty of hers, she absolutely cannot be someone who has no awareness of sexual attraction."
"Then it proves that something must have gone wrong somewhere." Schiller's attitude was still very calm, "Something must have caused the conflict between facts and judgment."
"Should I believe you?" Seeing Natasha looked at him and said, "You are one person, you must be in the same group. Any explanation you give could be covering up his crimes."
"Before you opened your mouth, you realized this, but you still chose to ask me. This proves that your doubt is greater than your distrust of me, you need me to help you analyze. So let's skip the mutual probing part and analyze where the problem actually appeared."
Seeing Natasha opened her mouth; she was still a bit unaccustomed to this Schiller's realistic and straightforward style of speaking and doing things. The rhythm of the entire conversation was incredibly fast, making someone like her who hates wasting time feel an urgent sense of breathlessness.
It's completely opposite to Greed, that salary thief. Seeing Natasha thought, if she were the head of the FBI, no, even if she were Nick Fury, she would want to give Agent Rodriguez a raise.
"How do you plan to analyze?" Seeing Natasha said.
"Very simple, I ask and you answer, or you ask and I answer, until we match the problems and answers one by one."
"You ask." Seeing Natasha said.
"Who sent the email to Lex Luthor?"
"No one." Seeing Natasha said, "Because Lena Luthor is Lex Luthor's sister, they don't need to communicate via email. Luthor said he received an email from an untraceable source to cooperate with Lena in framing Barbara, because only Barbara has such hacker technology."
"Good. Who sent the email to the thugs who attacked our car?"
"Lena Luthor. She knew that only the Cat Getan Police Department would investigate the email of that thug, and the police department's technical level is not enough, so they wouldn't need a very brilliant way of covering up, which would make them unable to trace the source of the email, and in turn use this email as one of the evidences of the other party's high hacker technology, also to frame Barbara."
"Who killed Abidonis?"
"Lena Luthor. The Abidonis couple participated in the Trans-Atlantic Reserve Fund established by her brother, through which she alienated the Abidonis couple, eventually stimulating Mrs. Abidonis to kill Mr. Abidonis."
"Who organized the scandal conspiracy between you and the President?"
"Lex Luthor. He claimed to be instructed by the person in the email, but it was actually a conspiracy between the two siblings. He published the photos to deny the legitimacy of the President's policies, thereby delaying certain financial bills about to be implemented."
"Who came to Cat Getan high-profile in a helicopter?"
"Lex Luthor. He wanted to test Batman's attitude toward him, and also wanted to spread rumors unfavorable to the President, to ensure that Batman wouldn't move against him in the short term."
"Who kidnapped Barbara?"
"Lena Luthor. She took her away from the Clock Tower and left her hair and footprints to mislead investigators, making them connect the previous clues and think that Barbara Gordon was the mastermind who wove all the conspiracies."
"Who provoked the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the Amazon?"
"Lena Luthor. She found a way to tamper with the President's schedule, bribed the intern in the security consultant team, and wanted to frame all this on me."
"Very good. In all the answers, only two names have appeared now: Lena Luthor and Lex Luthor. In other words, all this is a conspiracy by the Luthor siblings."
"On the surface, it does look like this, but there are also suspicious points. Next, I ask and you answer: If you say Schiller wouldn't give wrong professional advice, then why is Lena not the image he described?"
"Because Lena Luthor lied, or rather she didn't tell the whole truth." Schiller said, "The photos were indeed taken by her, but what did she use to take them?"
"Wasn't it the 14th camera?"
"Yes, but did she control the camera through network intrusion, or did she run directly into Wei En Enterprises to control the camera?"
"Wasn't it through Abidonis, the head of Wei En's information security department?"
"But you also think that doesn't look like photos taken by Abidonis. Moreover, as the head of the information security department, he wouldn't be unable to figure out the positions of the cameras in the banquet hall after being in this position for so many years, and even have to repeatedly adjust the cameras, or even bring out the cameras in the nooks and crannies to test. This is enough to prove that the person taking the photos doesn't understand Wei En Enterprises, so it couldn't be an inside job."
"You really confused me a bit." Seeing Natasha said, "You still haven't answered my question. Lena personally admitted that these were photos taken by her, but it contradicts the conclusion of another you. How exactly was this caused?"
"Think carefully." Schiller looked into Seeing Natasha's eyes and said, "What did she use to take the photos?"
"The 14th camera! I said it!"
"Then who actually took the photos?"
"Lena Luthor. She personally admitted it!"
"Lena... used what to take the photos?"
"The 14th camera... oh, no way. You wouldn't be saying 'the gun killed the person, not me' kind of argument, right?"
"Why not? Remember our initial speculation?"
"You mean... electronic life form?" Seeing Natasha frowned deeply and said, "You mean, although Lena Luthor took the photos, the camera has its own thoughts?"
"Is there no such possibility?" Schiller said.
Seeing Natasha thought silently, her fingers tapping lightly on the hospital bed guardrail. She said: "Do you think the Luthor siblings know that some strange creatures might have mixed into the conspiracy they wove?"
Schiller shook his head and said: "I don't think they know. Although they are very smart, I'm afraid they don't have the ability to see the personality and state of the other party through a photo. Such omissions are too subtle, and this genius sibling pair who think highly of themselves might not be able to discover them."
"But I still don't understand." Seeing Natasha continued, "Lena Luthor doesn't check the photos taken by the camera? She didn't see that the photos were wrong? And just published them like that?"
"The world is a huge grass-roots team. Lena Luthor said she took the photos, but in reality, it's more likely she instructed Abidonis, Abidonis instructed his subordinate employees, the employees instructed the newly arrived intern, and the intern scrambled to flip through all the cameras but didn't know how to operate them at all, and finally the camera automatically focused and took a photo that was barely passable. Everyone felt they had completed the task, so they just handed the photos to the newspaper."
"But after the photos were published, wouldn't they feel strange when they saw them in the news?"
"Still the same sentence, not everyone has the ability to communicate with photos. The Luthor siblings are clearly the kind of very practical people. The photos were sent out, public opinion was ignited, the public began to speculate, and the goal was achieved. Why would they care about the subtle differences in your postures in the photos?"
"They are really arrogant." Seeing Natasha said.
"There is another suspicious point." Schiller said, "About the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the Amazon. Do you think just modifying the schedule could make Batman mess up the time of the routine visit?"
Seeing Natasha thought, and then her eyebrows slowly twisted together, she shook her head and said: "Absolutely impossible. Not to mention Batman's memory, the diplomatic team he hired isn't just eating for nothing. Lex could bribe one, two, but could he bribe them all? And no one reminded him?"
"This is the problem. Neither Batman nor his diplomatic team sensed anything wrong. Admittedly, this is his mistake, but it's not that simple to create such a mistake. If Lex could do this, they wouldn't have to go through such a big detour."
"But Lena Luthor used this matter to frame me, which proves that she must be aware of it, and it is very likely that she did it."
"Still the same sentence, this is the conspiracy she formulated, it doesn't mean she operated it herself." Schiller shook his head and said, "People like the Luthor siblings have been rule-makers since birth. How much bottom-level execution experience can they have? Isn't it all ordered to subordinates to do?"
"From their perspective, success is a matter of course, because they used their intelligence to formulate a perfect plan. But from the perspective of us spies, we can see that their plan is full of difficulties, or even an impossible task. But everything still developed as they thought, and their pride and arrogance made them miss too many details, like a grain of sand falling on their coffin."
"Batman must have sensed it too." Seeing Natasha said, "So even if he sensed something was wrong so early, he didn't take any measures to stop it. Compared to the Luthor siblings, he wants to know more about what is pushing the plan in the dark."
