Chapter 4110: When Pumpkins Mature (3)

"Are you still going to Wei Lun's place? I'm going to pack these pumpkin pies and send them to Billy's school, the children will like them." Victor said while tidying up.

Schiller nodded and said: "Harley also gave Wei Lun a big pumpkin, I think she should have forgotten that Wei Lun is a carnivore."

"You're wrong about that, any animal has a need to ingest fiber, including pure carnivores." Victor put the pumpkin pie into the basket, then covered it with thick cloth and said, "And, he comes with his own teeth and claws, and can deal with this big pumpkin much easier than us."

Victor was right. By the time Schiller arrived at Wei Lun's company, only half of the huge pumpkin he owned was left. From the traces of the cut surface, Wei Lun's bite force was comparable to an adult crocodile.

"Did you eat all of these?" Schiller asked.

"Of course not, otherwise, I would be the first orange crocodile in the world." Wei Lun stood in the remaining half of the pumpkin with a grin and said, "Does this look like a pumpkin hut?"

The pumpkin Wei Lun owned had a different shape from Victor's. This pumpkin was exceptionally tall, a bit like a small car standing upright. After being eaten half, the remaining part really looked a bit like a hut.

"Not bad, very creative. I think you can refine it and put it at the entrance of the company."

Wei Lun laughed, obviously very happy that someone appreciated his work, and then he said: "Harley told me that this is the latest scientific research result, as long as the outer skin is not damaged, it can be preserved for a long time. I didn't understand the fiberization thing."

"Can it delay the time of fiberization?"

"Seems so, you have to ask her for the specifics."

"Is she okay recently? Still working as a designer?"

"Hmm, seems to be doing product research and development in a food factory, I don't know the specifics either. She seems to be planning to organize a Halloween dinner, and the location is in that manor of yours."

Schiller nodded. He knew that his former manor had become a base for the Young Avengers. It is said to be a base, but in fact, because there are no criminal events at all, it is a large youth activity club.

"I'm waiting for her to send me an invitation." Schiller said when leaving, "I hope there are some other dishes besides pumpkins at the banquet."

It was already afternoon when Schiller returned home. Not long after arriving home, Main Universe Batman's phone rang again.

"Hello, Doctor, I have some questions to ask you again. I have arrived at the entrance of Cat Getan, but there seems to be a facial recognition detection system here, and my facial detection did not pass. What should I do?"

"Oh, I forgot, you still need to register your personal information in that green software, enter your facial data, to obtain proof of identity. The information monitoring here is relatively strict, you can't use the same identity as Bruce, you should register a new one."

"Okay, it sounds quite cumbersome, I'll study it myself."

Hanging up the phone, Schiller shook his head. Batman wouldn't be unable to figure out a facial recognition system, but he wouldn't casually enter his identity information, especially sensitive information like faces and fingerprints.

Brainiac's supervision is indeed strict, but that's only for ordinary people. For those with technical means, especially Batman, there are still ways to evade it.

However, Schiller thought Brainiac would pretend a little bit. Is it too arrogant to ask for Main Universe Batman's identity information as soon as he comes up? Not even pretending?

However, the game between Main Universe Batman and Brainiac has nothing to do with him. He has to finish the final exam papers first, and then go to welcome the upcoming Greed.

There is a guest room in this house, but it hasn't been cleaned since Billy left. By the time Schiller finished cleaning the room, it was already night. He looked out the window from the living room, the wooden boardwalk leading to the forest had been lit up, reflecting sparkling waves on the lake, which was a cold color with some sorrow, and the fireplace was about to go out.

Sitting down in the armchair by the fireplace, Schiller threw firewood into the fireplace, threw it until he touched nothing, and then realized that the firewood was gone. He seems to have really not gone to the store to buy firewood for a while.

Although it is not particularly cold now, the flame is mainly used to dry the water vapor. Although the scenery of living next to the lake is beautiful, it is really damp. If the fireplace goes out in the first half of the night, it will be very damp and cold in the living room when waking up in the morning; but if it can burn all night, the whole house will be dry and hot.

Although it was dark, it was not particularly late. Schiller thought about it and decided to cut down a tree in the forest and then split it for firewood. It is always closer to the forest than to the community store. If he didn't have time usually, he would also be happy to split wood himself.

Schiller first changed into a pair of rain boots that could walk in the mud, then went to the tool room to pick up an axe, bypassed the lake, and walked toward the forest. Without walking too far, he saw a pine tree of just the right thickness, and he started chopping with an axe.

Because it was a small tree, it didn't take much effort to chop, it was almost chopped in a few strokes, and then pushed, the tree fell down. It was a bit troublesome to transport it back. Schiller didn't intend to carry it back, but brought a small cart before, moved the tree to the cart, and pulled it back.

When walking back, Schiller noticed that on the road on the east side of the forest, which is the opposite direction to his house, there seemed to be a car, but because the headlights were not on, it was not very clear.

Schiller felt that it might be a resident's car. After all, although there are few people in this community, it is not completely empty. Cat Getan University President Sivana also didn't move, and they are still neighbors, maybe he just got off work.

Dragging the tree back to the house, he split the wood in the backyard. It was a small tree itself, and there was nothing to split, just chop it into sections and burn it. Although the freshly dead tree is a bit wet and will be harder to burn, as long as the fire is big, it can burn, otherwise there would be no forest fire.

Schiller added all the firewood, and deliberately fanned it to make the fire bigger. After the fireplace was lit, the living room was warmer.

Just then, he welcomed an unexpected visitor, and the doorbell rang. Schiller opened the door and saw that it was Sivana.

"Professor, that... I have no firewood, forgot to buy it during the day. Do you have any here? Can you lend me some?"

"... Aren't you a magician?"

"Magic fire is a bit dangerous, if I don't watch it, I might burn the whole house. It's safer to burn the fireplace."

"I don't have firewood either, what's in the fireplace was just cut from the forest."

"The forest can be cut? Isn't that a woodland reserve? Won't Brainiac deduct your money?"

"Doesn't buying firewood cost money?"

"Also, then I'll go cut some." Sivana said helplessly, "The weather is cooling down too fast, if I knew it, I would have prepared firewood earlier."

Sending Sivana away, not long after, Schiller saw the light of a flashlight appearing in the forest, it should be Sivana who went to cut wood. But I don't know how much wood he cut, the light of the flashlight shook for more than an hour, Schiller was afraid that he would cut all that woodland.

After burning the fireplace, Schiller read a book in front of the fireplace for a while, sleepiness gradually came, and he went upstairs to sleep.

And when he entered the dreamland warmly, at the end of the small road in the east of the woodland, a group of people were shivering in a car that didn't start.

"What kind of ghost place is this, not even a coffee shop. And I'm not a field agent, why on earth do I have to come here to watch?"

"Don't complain, the big boss transferred us here just to watch this case. Brainiac didn't fix it, if you don't focus, you will lose your life."

"When I saw that person go into the forest last night, we should have gone over to see, maybe he was burying the bodies of those children. The one who went later was his accomplice..."

"This doesn't make sense, either both bury together, or one buries and one watches, why go one after another?"

"Do you think it's two groups of people?"

"I heard the sound of chopping trees, maybe they just went to chop wood." Barry's voice came from the back seat, he put his hands in front of his mouth and exhaled, rubbed them, and then said, "Are you sure that suspicious person ran to this vicinity?"

"Of course, this place is sparsely populated, there are not so many surveillance cameras, and there are large forests, it is easy to hide, and it is not particularly far from the city, it is easy to run out and make trouble. If I were a kidnapper, I would also choose here."

"I think we'd better not stay here too long." Barry looked out the window with some worry and said, "It's sparsely populated here, besides the murderer, maybe there is something else..."

"No way? You are actually afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of... forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

"It's not a good habit to say half of the words, but I also think we shouldn't wait here. I saw a house across the lake, should we go..."

"Don't!" Barry raised his tone, but soon realized something was wrong, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Not to mention that it's sleeping time now, if you wake people up, they will definitely be dissatisfied, and they won't tell us any clues. Moreover, those guys can hide from Brainiac, which shows they are very cunning. If we go rashly, what if we startle the snake and let him run away?"

"Also, field agents will be transferred over tomorrow, if we act rashly and smash the case, we will definitely be troubled by them. Let's do nothing, watch this night, and go back."

Barry sighed in his heart. The night by the lake is really cold, he really wants to go down and run a few laps to warm up, but unfortunately he can't, so he curled up in the back seat of the car and fell asleep. When he woke up again, the sky was already bright.

His colleague is leaning in front of the car smoking. Barry also got out of the car to move, and then said: "Any clues?"

"Fart nothing." The black female colleague patted the steering wheel and said, "Let's go, get in the car, let's go back. Just tell the field department that someone entered the forest last night, this job is really not done by humans."

Soon they drove back to Green Street. Barry went to the same store to buy coffee again. When he came back with breakfast, the field agents who were aggressive had come out of the meeting.

"Agent Allen, when will your behavioral analysis report come out? I mean those children's."

"Coming soon." Barry said, "I'll send it to you later."

But the agent still stopped him, and then said: "I heard that you saw someone enter the forest in the suspicious area last night?"

"Hmm." Barry gave a vague response, and then said, "I heard the sound of chopping trees, maybe it was the residents around chopping wood."

"Heh, it definitely won't be that simple, what kind of wood to chop in the middle of the night? Maybe it's just to cover up some sounds, so they deliberately went to chop trees. We will investigate today."

"Then you remember to have a good attitude, that's a rich area, if you complain to Brainiac, you might be fined."

"Got it, got it." The other party waved his hand and said.

Barry was eating breakfast, and saw the field agents fully armed and got into the car, and the car soon disappeared at the end of the street full of fallen leaves. He sighed in his heart again, if his previous life was like that kind of modern criminal investigation drama, then it is estimated that it won't be long before it will turn into a ghost movie. ===== CHAPTER 4111 =====
