Chapter 17 Batman's Kidney Crisis

Schiller's serious psychological counseling for Gordon ended the moment Bruce opened the door.

The three of them stared at each other, and Schiller asked, "Well, Mr. Wayne, I said that you don't have any counseling time this week, right? Why don't you call in advance to ask if anyone has made an appointment in the counseling room?"

Bruce was also a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect Gordon to be here. He just came to send Schiller an invitation. Bruce knew that his identity with Gordon might be exposed, but he also knew that Gordon didn't come to him or to Wayne Manor to find Bruce, which meant that he didn't trust Batman.

This made Bruce a little frustrated, because he knew that Gordon was indeed a good policeman, and now this clean stream of the Gotham Police Department didn't trust him, and even had some inexplicable hostility towards him. Bruce knew that Batman had to do more and do something really useful to change his attitude.

Schiller said, "It seems that God also wants us to form an alliance. Now that we are all here, why don't we talk openly and honestly?"

"We all know what happened that night. I know that the three of us don't fully trust each other, but it doesn't matter. We can still temporarily unite for a common goal, such as putting my colleague, Dr. Jonathan, who created the fear gas, in jail."

Gordon knew that he had nothing to hide. If he couldn't solve this matter, and his boss and the chief of the police department knew that he was secretly investigating someone who wanted to hire Jonathan, he would definitely die without a burial place. Whether it was Schiller or Bruce, Gordon could only hope that they were at least neutral. Even if they couldn't provide him with help, they could at least give him some advice.

Gordon frowned and said, "The situation must be worse than you think. Victor... Oh, that is the current police chief. He was accused of selling high-concentration tranquilizers, but he was not sentenced. Instead, he rose all the way. Some people speculated that Sal was behind him, but no one had evidence. My immediate boss, Rantaros, I have seen him go in and out of the club where the Red Crows are located, but these old policemen are too cunning and no one can catch them." Schiller sighed. He knew that Gordon had left some face for the Gotham Police Department. The Gotham City Police Department, from top to bottom, is almost all the minions of the gang. Even the kindest policemen just took the gang's money and did less work. Schiller asked, "Do you know Harvey? Harvey Bullock."

Gordon frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You mean the fat guy in the logistics department who smokes and drinks. What's wrong with him? Do you know him?"

Harvey Bullock is portrayed as a fat guy who smokes and drinks in some Batman comics. Gordon is not wrong, but in most comics, he is a good cop who disguises himself as a bad cop. He seems to be in cahoots with the gangs, but in fact he secretly helps Gordon. In one comic, he even teamed up with Gordon to defeat the Joker without Batman's intervention.

Schiller said: "You know I have worked with the police in several cities. I heard that he attended the police school in Star City. An old policeman in Metropolis once mentioned him to me. He said that Harvey wanted to be a good policeman, but he had suffered retaliation. For this reason, he had to disguise himself with a decadent appearance and even took the initiative to hook up with the gangsters to find a protective umbrella for himself."

"Do you think he is trustworthy?" Gordon asked.

Bruce interrupted, "It's not a good idea for you to fight alone in the Gotham Police Department. If you don't have any allies there, it's almost impossible for you to bring down your boss and the police chief, not to mention the gangs behind them."

"I think you can try to contact Harvey, but don't tell him everything. I believe he must be paying attention to this case. If he is really trustworthy, he may provide you with some help in secret. The two of you can be one in the open and the other in the dark, at least you can make a lot of trouble for your boss."

Gordon said, "I'll ask him."

Bruce said, "As for your police chief, I will investigate him, of course, in another identity you know."

Bruce didn't intend to hide it from Gordon from the beginning, because he knew that it was almost impossible to get help from a police officer in the police station without exposing his identity.

"And the gangs..." Schiller said, "Whether it's the Sal you mentioned or the Red Crows, I can go and see them."

The two of them stared at Schiller at the same time. Gordon said hesitantly, "Professor, I know you have traveled to various cities, but I want to remind you that the gangs in Gotham are different from those in all other cities. They are extremely vicious beasts who do not care about any legal principles or morals. They are a group of very ferocious jackals..."

"Yes, that's why I have to go now. You know, if I delay for two months, Gotham University will have to take the final exam, and I won't have so much time."

Schiller glanced at Bruce and continued, "After all, many students here would rather go to nightclubs to hang out while it's still light than spend more time on studying."

Bruce rubbed his nose awkwardly. Gordon looked him up and down and said, "Although I am not much older than you, I still want to remind you that if you really want to be that tights weirdo, you'd better restrain your private life. Half of the beauties in Gotham City have slept with you. Do you think there are a few black widows among them?"

Bruce said perfunctorily, "Okay, I'll pay attention. Thank you for your reminder."

Bruce's "reputation" is well-known throughout Gotham City. It must be admitted that even the 18-year-old Bruce is handsome. Although he does not have the temperament of going through vicissitudes of life, his handsome appearance alone can capture the hearts of countless opposite sexes. Gotham's entertainment newspapers publish gossip about him almost every day, but Bruce's female companions in the photos have never been the same.

Schiller is not very worried that he will be assassinated by the gangster mistress. He is more worried about Bruce's kidneys. He thinks that even Batman will have to drink kidney treasure sooner or later if he continues to play like this.

Unfortunately, as soon as Bruce returned to Wayne Manor, his old butler Alfred said to him, "I am very presumptuous to cancel your appointment tonight because the data from your last physical examination is not optimistic..."

Bruce was stunned for a moment, remembering the rather strange looks of Gordon and Schiller during the day, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Cancel all my appointments this month."

Alfred was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually became strange, and he said, "Master, you invited Miss Christine to dinner two months ago, are you sure you want to cancel her invitation too? "

Bruce waved his hand and said, "Of course, I don't have time to date them now."

Afu's eyes became even stranger. He hesitated and said, "If you have any changes in your sexual orientation, I hope you can inform your loyal butler as soon as possible..."

Bruce covered his forehead and said, "I have to go out to investigate these few nights... Well, don't cancel Miss Christine's date. She is really sexy and charming."

After Afu left, Bruce found that his phone rang, and it was Schiller's call.

He picked up the phone, and Schiller said, "You have a date with Christine, the head of the Nightingale Football Team Cheerleading Group?"

Bruce was shocked. Schiller really has the ability to read minds?

But he soon realized that he was overthinking. Schiller said, "She once boasted to her sister that she had hooked up with Little Wayne, but she disappeared two days after she said that. Her sister reported it to the school. Anna from the HR department asked me to contact you..."

"I haven't dated her yet," Bruce said, "Our date is scheduled for two weeks later. You know, my... schedule is quite full."

"Then her disappearance has nothing to do with you? That's strange."

Schiller said, "The HR department told me that Christine knew she was beautiful, so she was very cautious and never left school for anything. She was about to graduate, but now she is missing."

Bruce was a little alert. He said, "Could it be related to Jonathan's case? Is Jonathan familiar with her?"

"Of course not, how could a girl like this... How could she be so familiar with Jonathan? She is a beautiful socialite, and Jonathan stays in the office all day.

Schiller said: "Okay, Bruce, now you have something new to do. Hurry up and find your future date, preferably before the deadline for your date."

"But I..."

"The Nightingales is the business card of Gotham University. The captain of the cheerleading team is missing, which is a big blow to them. The playoffs of the National League will start in two weeks. If you can't find someone, I will drop your class."

"Hey, professor, you can't... Hello? Hello?"

Bruce put down the phone helplessly, and then called the school in person. Only then did he know that Christine was very popular in the cheerleading team. Many girls went to the school to ask for someone. Without the captain, they couldn't choreograph, which made the players of the football team dissatisfied.

Just when Jonathan was arrested, the whole school was trying to calm down the public opinion. No one was free, so Schiller, the new professor, was drafted.

Then Batman was drafted by Schiller.

Bruce began to think. A beautiful girl disappeared in Gotham. The result of this matter was almost unnecessary to think about. But from what Schiller said, Miss Christine was a very cautious person and usually did not leave school. She disappeared in the school of Gotham University.

It was hard not to suspect that it was related to the Jonathan case.

Bruce did not care about Schiller's threat without any deterrence. When did Bruce care about failing a course?

Except for the psychology class, he would go to Schiller's face. For other classes, he was either in the bar or messing around.

Thinking of this, Bruce remembered what Schiller had just said. Christine had mentioned to others that she was going to date him?

Could this be related to her disappearance?
