Chapter 3482 Research on Cats and Dogs (Thirty)Although the poisoned people cannot completely clear themselves of suspicion, those who were not poisoned are obviously more suspicious.

After Batman left Jonathan's interrogation room, he found a policeman to ask about the details. The subordinates who had received Gordon's order told Batman the information they had found so far.

There were four faculty members who were not poisoned. Two of them were university professors, Schiller and Victor; the other two were an external sports coach hired by Gotham University, currently in charge of the cheerleading team's training; and the other was a school electrician.

According to the police, the coach ate as usual, and because of his sports training, he may have eaten more than other professors, but there was nothing unusual from beginning to end.

The electrician was late because of an emergency circuit repair. When he arrived, the main course had been taken away. He only had some dessert and drank some wine.

It is not difficult to find that the situations of three of them are similar. They did not eat much and escaped the disaster. Only one of them ate a lot and still did not get poisoned. Batman had to pay extra attention to him.

However, after some investigation, Batman discovered that although this coach eats a lot, he has maintained a fitness habit all year round and is currently in the fat-loss period. He needs to keep his diet clean, so he eats very few types of food.

According to him, he only ate egg whites, chicken breasts, and vegetables without any salad dressing, and did not touch any other meat, desserts, or wine.

Schiller and Victor also mentioned in their testimonies that they ate vegetables and drank wine. Other professors also said that they ate fresh vegetables. This proves that vegetables should be fine.

But after the test results of the food samples came out, it was found that the vegetable salad contained trace amounts of toxins, the symptoms of which were vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness.

Batman immediately realized that the murderer must have put poison in the salad dressing.

However, the dinner party is not a buffet, and the salad dressing you choose is entirely up to you. There are four or five kinds of salad dressings on the scene, and unless all the dressings are poisoned, it is impossible to poison most people.

When Batman came to Gordon's office, they were discussing this issue. Seeing Batman coming in, Gordon turned around and said, "We have sent all the sauce bottles at the banquet for inspection. We will soon know which sauce is poisonous."

Batman glanced around the room: Victor and Schiller were sitting on the sofa by the window, Sivana was sitting on the single sofa, and Gordon was standing by the wall.

"Where are the other survivors?" Batman asked.

"They are helping in the hospital. The central hospital is in chaos right now, with too many patients to take care of. The nurses are too busy to handle it, and all the staff that can be mobilized from the school have gone there," said Principal Shivana.

Just as Batman was about to say something, a police officer rushed in with the test report and said, "The results are in."

"Only one of the five sauce bottles was poisoned."

"Which one is it?"

“Vinegar.”

"Oh my god." Victor suddenly exclaimed. Batman immediately looked at him.

"On weekdays, the faculty cafeteria only serves one kind of salad dressing, vinaigrette, and we usually only eat this," said Victor.

Batman reacted immediately, proving that his previous speculation was correct. The person who did it was a faculty member of Gotham University.

Because only faculty members would know that the restaurant only serves vinaigrette on weekdays, and most people are used to eating only vinaigrette. Taking advantage of the professors' habits, only putting poison in the vinaigrette bottle would be able to knock out most people.

"Don't you usually have the habit of eating salad dressing?" Batman asked.

“I don’t eat vegetables,” Victor said. “I barely eat salads, and I don’t eat them at dinner parties.”

"Professor Rodriguez, I thought you mentioned that you ate your vegetables. Didn't you add any salad dressing?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "I never eat salad dressing, as anyone who has eaten at the restaurant can attest."

“Is there anyone else in school who doesn’t use salad dressing like you?”

"I don't know, but at least I haven't seen it."

Now everyone has no reason to be poisoned, Batman thought. Victor doesn't eat vegetables, Schiller doesn't use salad dressing, the coach doesn't eat salad dressing when he works out, and the electrician is late and can't catch up.

Then starting from here, there will be no clues. Batman called Gordon out and said to him: "I need the resumes of these people."

"Do you suspect they are the murderers?"

"I just can't rule out this possibility. Can you give me their information?"

Gordon nodded. After a while, he handed the printed document to Batman and said, "I hope you don't let them know. These professors are valuable talents of Gotham University and can't stand any more storms."

Batman nodded and picked up the file to read it.

As he watched, Batman basically ruled out Victor as a suspect, because he was the only one among the three who had a higher education background in chemistry.

Although Victor is a physicist, low temperature physics also involves chemical knowledge, or in other words, low temperature physics is a combination of physics and chemistry. Victor's chemistry level is definitely not bad.

And because of his identity, it is easier for him to get some toxic raw materials. With the help of laboratory instruments, he can achieve extremely precise ratios and has better ways of delivery, so it won't end like this.

The other three were similar, pure laymen with almost no chemistry education and had never been to a laboratory. These three were the most suspicious.

Batman originally thought that the late electrician was the most suspicious. However, the police gave the result of the inquiry: the power was cut off in the school auditorium at that time, and there were probably hundreds of witnesses who could prove their alibi. The electrician was also ruled out as a suspect.

Then the remaining psychology professor and sports coach were equally suspected. Batman looked back and forth between the photos of Schiller and the coach, and finally stopped at Schiller's photo.

There is indeed no evidence to prove that the psychology professor is the murderer, but years of detective intuition make Batman feel that this seemingly gentle professor is definitely not a good person.

Although sports coaches have greater mobility and can find more opportunities to poison, the same thing applies: in Gotham, you have to be more careful of those who look powerless than strong warriors, because their long-term presence here makes them the biggest suspects.

But it was already daybreak. Except for Jonathan, whose time had not yet come, no one had any reason to stay in the police station. Batman could not keep anyone alone to talk without evidence, so he had to let them go.

In order to ensure Jonathan's safety, Batman asked Superman to stay in the police station. He went to the Gotham Police Department in the name of investigation, and also wanted to observe whether Professor Rodriguez had any flaws.

After Batman left, Superman felt a little bored. He sat on a chair outside the interrogation room and watched the police come and go.

A policeman came over with coffee, sighed as he sat down, and looked a little tired.

Superman turned around and saw that the man was very strong and had a big beard.

Then suddenly, he realized that there was something wrong with the other person's heart rate and blood flow.

With a click, the door of the interrogation room opened. Jonathan Klein, who was counting the time in his mind, looked up and saw a pair of red eyes.

"I've heard a lot about you, Professor."

Jonathan narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't recognize the bearded man standing in front of him, and he was sure he had never seen him before.

The red light in the other person's eyes proved that he was probably not a human being and had no good intentions.

Seeing the other man's chest rising and falling, Jonathan felt relieved. He put his hands on the table and said calmly, "I haven't been a professor for many days. How come I have heard so much about you?"

"You don't have to be modest. We all know what you have done." The other party sat down in a chair behind the table and said, "I came here today to talk to you about cooperation."

"What cooperation?"

"I need... to be more precise, we need to have some influence on the Justice League."

"'who are you?"

"You don't need to know that. We just want you to do us a favor."

"What help?"

"If you die, the Justice League will definitely be in turmoil. Then they will reveal their flaws, and we will be able to defeat them with one strike."

"Wait." Jonathan finally realized something was wrong and said, "What does the Justice League have to do with me?"

"It's a little too late to distance yourself from the matter now, Professor. We all know that you have a very good relationship with the members of the Justice League, especially with Bruce, the soul of the group..."

"Excuse me." Jonathan stretched out his hand and said, "Let's not talk about whether I have a good relationship with the members of the Justice League. Do you think Bruce is the soul of the Justice League?"

"Is not it?"

"Just say so."

Jonathan had no intention of arguing with him because he suddenly figured out the reason for the series of strange conversations that had occurred since he arrived at the police station.

"Schiller!!!!" Jonathan roared in his heart, "How dare you put the blame on me, you bastard!!!"

He said why was Batman so polite, maybe he thought I was Bruce's teacher. Did I work so hard to return to Gotham University as a professor just to be your scapegoat? !

But even though he was roaring, Jonathan realized the seriousness of the matter almost immediately.

Because he knew that Batman did not come alone, but brought Superman with him, and Superman should be guarding his door. If that was the case, how did this guy get in?

Whether he knocked Superman down mentally or physically, it proved that the man in front of him was extremely terrifying.

More importantly, the other party regarded him as a professor who had a huge influence on the Justice League, and was probably determined to kill him here. If there was any mistake, it would not only be the house that was reclaimed, but he would also go to see God.

But Jonathan is worthy of being the Scarecrow who can fight Batman back and forth. The more urgent the situation is, the calmer he becomes. He has even abandoned all emotions, and the operation of his brain almost creates ripples in the air.

Even though he is not a professor, he has to be one now.

Because professors have value, and Jonathan Klein doesn't.

The fact that the other party did not take action the first time they came in proved that there was room for negotiation. This was the first judgment Jonathan made.

More likely, the other party was also worried that the professor had a back-up plan. This proved that they did not know the professor well enough and were completely fooled. This was Jonathan's second judgment.

The other party could never kill Superman, they might just temporarily repel or control him. But Superman would wake up soon, and the other party's time was limited. They were more anxious than he was. This was Jonathan's third judgment.

To sum up, speak first to calm him down, and then find an opportunity to kill him.

"I didn't expect you to find me." Jonathan lowered his eyes, cursing Schiller in his heart, and imitated him, saying, "I thought you would recklessly attack the Justice League until all your advantages were ruined. You are smarter than those people before."

"It looks like we've found the right person, Professor," said the bearded man.

Jonathan shook his head and said, "But there are only so many smart people. If you were really smart, you shouldn't have come to me."

The bearded man took a step closer, looked down at Jonathan and said, "Are you counting on the big guy outside? I'm afraid he can't help you."

"I don't need him to help me."

For Scarecrow Jonathan Crane, what is more famous than his chemical technology is his achievements in psychology and neuroscience. Fear gas is his masterpiece, and the key lies in the fear effect of the gas.

If this thing can poison Batman, it means it can poison any creature with a respiratory system.

Jonathan had just discovered that the other party needed to breathe. In this case, the fear gas could also deal with him.

Jonathan leaned back in his chair and reached for his waist—there would always be a small bottle of fear gas compressed into liquid form there.

But he only felt emptiness.

Schiller returned to his office at Gotham University and took out a small glass bottle from his pocket, which was half filled with dark green liquid. He shook the bottle gently and said with a smile:"Long time no see, Dread Venom."
