Chapter 530: Schiller
Steve pressed the projector on the table, and a list was projected onto the wall. Everyone could see the information of cryogenics experts who met certain screening conditions.
There were not many scholars on the entire Earth who could be called cryogenics experts. Even counting those who had passed away, the number was only in the hundreds.
Among these people, there were probably only a few dozen famous scholars who could research such genius cryogenic technology, and about 30 of them had spouses.
However, neurodegenerative diseases were a relatively rare case. Among these 30 cryogenics experts, no one's wife suffered from this rare disease.
Even among these 30 cryogenics experts, except for two who were widowed and eight who were divorced, the rest could be called happy families with fulfilling lives, and there were no tragic stories of life and death.
At this time, Strange spoke again, "I said before that I am the best neurosurgeon in the world. If someone suffered from this relatively rare case, then I should have at least seen or heard of it, but I really haven't."
"And, when he gave me the information, he emphasized to me that the patient could not come for a consultation. However, if it were really as he said, that it was a story about his friend, then even if the patient could not come due to physical reasons, why didn't Schiller's friend come forward in person as the husband?"
Stark's voice came from the battle suit. He said, "If there really is such a person in this world, then I would definitely not be unable to find them."
No one would think he was bragging because, besides being Iron Man, he was also the leader of Stark Industries, the world's richest man sitting on the largest capital in the world.
Coupled with Jarvis's artificial intelligence and Stark's unparalleled information collection technology, if such a person was determined to find someone, it was absolutely impossible not to find them.
But Stark indeed did not find a cryogenics expert consistent with Schiller's description, whether they were still alive or had passed away. As long as such a person existed in human civilization, Stark would definitely be able to find their tracks, but the fact was that there was no trace at all.
"So, is this just an excuse he found to cover up his own story?" Steve frowned. He said, "There is another suspicious point, Schiller actually named his nursing home Arkham Nursing Home."
"Where did the surname Arkham come from? And the nursing home has already moved once, yet he still refuses to give up this name."
"Tony, can the surname Arkham be found?"
"I'm checking." Stark replied. After a while, he said somewhat puzzled, "No, there isn't. I have filtered all the information about people related to the name Arkham in human history, but there is no match."
"Maybe it's not a surname, but a middle name." Matt proposed again. He continued, "And, don't forget, if Schiller wants to cover up someone's tracks, you might not be able to find them."
Everyone knew that if the story about the cryogenics expert friend was true, then the fact that nothing could be found didn't make sense.
Because Schiller had no need to cover up his friend's identity. Although freezing his wife to wait for treatment was slightly shocking, things had developed to this point, and it didn't matter much how others viewed it. Instead, announcing his situation might get more help.
Replacing this situation with Schiller himself would actually be more convincing.
"As far as I know, in the medical profession, many people's spouses are their peers." Strange spoke again.
Thus, Steve began to string this story together.
"Because Schiller witnessed his parents being killed when he was young, he became mute. Perhaps because he was stimulated, he was sent to a mental hospital."
"During his treatment in the mental hospital, he did not receive enough attention, and thus developed into an antisocial personality."
"He spent his teenage years in the mental hospital. Perhaps he met his former lover during this period. She cured him, and Schiller gradually transformed into a normal person."
"Afterward, he embarked on an academic path seeking the secrets of human psychology and spirit and achieved extremely high accomplishments."
"But later, his wife suffered from a neurodegenerative disease that current medical means cannot cure. He had to use a cryogenic technology to freeze her, waiting for the development of human medical technology."
"Perhaps, the lack of progress in this area is also one of the reasons why his mental state is having problems again now." Steve sighed.
"Then, the key still lies with his wife." Stark emphasized his tone. He asked, "Does anyone know where Schiller goes every time he goes on vacation?"
Everyone shook their heads. Peter hesitated for a moment and then said, "I only know that every time Dr. Schiller leaves, he doesn't bring anything. It doesn't look like a vacation..."
"That means he might have another home he can move into directly. Perhaps that is where he and his wife once lived..."
"However, Schiller cannot tell us where his wife is." Steve found a chair and sat down, then said, "Obviously, he doesn't trust anyone regarding this question."
"We have to find it ourselves." Stark proposed. He said, "Maybe because of emotional reasons, Schiller reached the conclusion that he doesn't need anyone's help, or he thinks it is more necessary to hide this matter."
"But in reality, it is not so. We can all understand him and are willing to help him. This is not a big deal. If magic doesn't work, we will ask Asgard. If Asgard doesn't work, we will ask other cosmic demons..."
"In general, the diseases humans suffer from may not be difficult problems to solve in the eyes of these non-human existences. If this problem can be solved, Schiller's mental problems might be solved fundamentally."
"The key is, where should we start looking?" Peter said with a headache, "I lived at Dr. Schiller's place for a long time, but I didn't find any clues worth noting."
"As long as a thing has its roots, it will inevitably leave traces." Steve said very firmly, "As long as this person has existed, it is impossible not to leave any clues."
"We still have to start checking from Schiller." Matt proposed, "Perhaps we can find some traces of where he once lived with his wife from the environment he lived in."
Steve slapped the table and began to assign tasks. He said:
"Peter, you go to investigate the Hell's Kitchen clinic where you and Schiller lived together before. I remember Schiller should have left quite a few things there."
"Stephen, go to the Arkham Nursing Home on Wall Street before. It shouldn't have been renovated yet. Perhaps there are some traces there too."
"As for me, I'll go to the new nursing home. Maybe I can find some of Schiller's living habits there..."
After Steve finished arranging, Stark looked at him, and he also looked at Stark. Steve shrugged and said, "I think, judging from Schiller's current mental state, he might not like you breaking into his nursing home."
Stark hummed lightly and then said, "How do you plan to get into his new nursing home? Climb the wall?"
"Then how do you plan to get in?"
Half an hour later, Stark got out of the sports car, Steve walked out from the other side and closed the car door. Stark walked swaggeringly into the nursing home gate. Just as he walked in, he was stopped by a nurse.
Before the nurse could speak, Stark moved his sunglasses down first, then looked at the nurse from above the sunglasses and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
"Oh, you are Stark, that world's richest man Stark!" The nurse over there was shocked for a moment, but then silently took two steps back. Apparently, she had heard of Stark's reputation. ===== CHAPTER 531 =====
