The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In Schiller's office at Gotham University, Victor stepped on the stool under his feet, stretched his arms vigorously, and twisted the light bulb above his head.

He removed the old light bulb that had been broken, held it in his hand, looked at it, and said: "If Gotham is going to build a museum, I must donate this light bulb, and it can even stay in one place." In the main display cabinet in the lobby of the second floor, because there are at least 20 generations of insect corpses condensed here..."

Anna, who was lighting up with a flashlight underneath, showed a disgusted expression and said, "Can you stop talking about such a disgusting thing, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Did you hear the sirens?" Schiller, who stood aside and looked up, said, "Since just now, three police cars have passed by here. Although this is not unusual in Gotham, the frequency is too high. right?"

"There was a murder case at Gotham University. Although the death of a person is nothing in Gotham, the nature of someone blatantly doing something in the student dormitory building is different."

"The godfather feels that the Elliott family is provoking his majesty. Recently, the Falcone family and the Elliott family have confronted each other, and the situation seems a bit tense." Anna said with a frown.

Victor, who was replacing the new light bulb, sighed. He said, "Actually, I have a very good impression of Thomas. He is not bad, he is polite, and he cares more about his studies than others. Why..."

"By the way." Schiller said suddenly: "The dead Doris was a student of the chemistry department. Have you ever taught her?"

"She is a senior this year, and she has very little class time at school, so I don't know her, but in the courses I teach, several girls are members of her group, and I heard about her from them."

Victor paused for a moment, and recalled: "They gossip about Doris' boyfriend during class, saying that he is young, promising, and very handsome. He is a likable young man. No wonder Doris is so obsessed with him to him."

"I heard that Doris' boyfriend works at the Metropolitan Central Research Institute?" Schiller asked.

"That's right, and at a young age, he has been doing research with a famous supervisor. I heard that after completing this year's project, he will be able to become a regular assistant from an intern. This is not easy."

Anna's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, "How old is Doris' boyfriend? To be able to directly become an official assistant of the Central Research Institute is indeed a young and promising sentence."

"Yes." Victor said full of memories: "At the beginning, I had a colleague who also came from the Metropolitan Central Research Institute. There are many talented people there. If you want to occupy a place there, you must have real skills."

"I heard from Lex, a freshman from the Metropolis, that he called the Central Research Institute and found Doris' boyfriend David, but David was very indifferent, and he didn't even want to come to see Doris for the last time. ’” Schiller said with a sigh.

·It’s really weird. I heard from those girls that the two of them have a very good relationship, especially for Doris. Every time David came to Gotham to look for her, he would bring a large bouquet of flowers. The tone is full of envy. "Victor shook his head.

"The world is so impermanent, so I often advise my students not to focus on falling in love." Anna walked aside, threw the book in her hand on the table, and said, "Young love is always impulsive and impulsive." Unreliable, if Doris wasn't dead, she would be crying about her boyfriend's indifference by now."

Schiller looked up at Victor's movements and said, "Are you done? Aren't you the most famous cryogenic scientist in the world? Why is it so troublesome to change a light bulb?"

"What does a cryogenicist have to do with changing a light bulb?" Victor coughed twice, choking on the dust on the lampshade. He waved his hand in front of his face to disperse the dust, and continued to focus on fiddling with the light bulb.

"This interface is very insensitive. I'm cleaning it. If you don't clean it, it's still prone to problems after screwing it on... Oh, okay, I screwed it on, Anna, turn on the switch and see if the light is on not bright……"

Anna went outside the room, opened the door of the electric box, and then lifted the switch. In an instant, the light was restored in the room. Both Victor and Schiller breathed a sigh of relief. Schiller stretched out his hand and supported Victor. Get off the stool more often.

But at this moment, with a "snap", the light bulb went out again. Victor staggered on the chair and almost fell off. Fortunately, Schiller supported him. Anna walked in again holding the flashlight. Do had to stand on the chair again to check the light bulb.

He unscrewed the light bulb again and checked it. He said, "No, it's not the light bulb. It seems that the power has been cut off."

At this time, it was early in the morning, and the room without lights was pitch black. Anna walked to the door, looked at the corridor, and said, "Okay, it seems that our building has lost power again."

"What's going on recently?" Schiller frowned and walked out of the door, came to the window in the corridor, and said, "The electricity went out seven times in three days, and our building was there every time, even during the snowstorm. It’s not that serious, what is the power management department doing?”

"I can't blame the power management department. The buildings except Gotham University are normal. Last time I stopped the electrician who came to repair it. He said it was because of the aging circuit. This is an unsolvable excuse. No one can do anything about it." ’” Anna shrugged.

"It can't always be like this. It has already affected the normal teaching." Victor also walked out, and he said, "Let's go, let's go to the power distribution room to have a look. If the circuit is really aging, I should have a solution."

"Aren't you from the chemistry department? Do you know electricity? ... Oh, you made all the devices to freeze your wife by yourself. You don't have a degree in physics and mechanical engineering, do you?" Anna chose. asked with raised eyebrows.

Victor smiled, and took the lead to walk ahead. When he was about to reach the stairwell, he turned his head, leaned his elbow on the handrail, and said with a smile: "You got the answer right. Besides, I also have material science and engineering skills. degree..."

Anna shook her head, shrugged her shoulders, and followed Victor up the stairs quickly, while Schiller paused a little by the window, because he saw a police car parked on the east side of Gotham University, also It is outside the west gate of the gymnasium.

The power distribution room is not far from the teaching building, and the three of them quickly walked into the door of the power distribution room. It can be seen that there are traces of repairs just now, but nothing works. did not work properly.

Victor began to check one by one, and even Anna could help, but Schiller could only watch, because after the electric box was opened, there were hundreds of wires inside, and they were all in a mess.

"If you ask me, this electric box should be donated to the museum. I have seen at least five generations of technical iterations in it. Could it be made by Europeans?" Schiller said in disbelief.

"It's not that exaggerated." Victor said while arranging the wires, "Actually, it just looks messy, just tidy it up. If you think there is a lot of dust here, go outside and wait..."

"Okay, I..." Schiller was about to turn around and walk out when the door of the power distribution room was opened with a "snap". Several policemen rushed in and pointed guns at the people inside. Schiller frowned. He raised his eyebrows, but then saw the familiar Gordon in the crowd.

Gordon saw that it was Schiller and Victor, and showed a surprised expression. He hurriedly walked over from the crowd, pressed down the hand of the police officer holding the gun, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"That's my question for you, Detective Gordon, what are you doing here?"

"It's like this..." Gordon explained very calmly and methodically: "About half an hour ago, we received a report that another murder case occurred at Gotham University, and the place where the crime occurred was in the lounge of the gymnasium."

"The victim, Karina, was a sophomore at Gotham University and a member of the cheerleading troupe. Just about half an hour ago, someone strangled her with a belt."

"When the incident happened, the members of the cheer dance troupe were rehearsing next door. In just five minutes, Karina lost her breath without any witnesses. The reason is that at the moment of the incident..."

"The power is out." Schiller received that about half an hour ago, their office also had a power outage, so they came here to check the power distribution room, and obviously, the group of policemen thought the same as them.

Gordon put his hands on his hips, sighed and said: "The technicians checked the lights in the gymnasium lounge. The bulbs are new and there is no problem. The switch is also working normally. The only possible problem is here."

"Hey! Somebody help me!" Victor called suddenly, Schiller wanted to walk over, but Gordon gave a wink to the subordinate next to him, the young policeman walked over, and then took Victor's hand Received the flashlight.

Half of Victor's body got into the huge electric box, as if he was checking something deeper. After a while, he straightened up, brushed his somewhat messy hair, and said: "The recent power outage It's not an accident, nor is it because of any circuit aging, but man-made."

Hearing this, both Gordon and Schiller narrowed their eyes. Obviously, they both thought of one thing, and that was the murder. If the power outage is good for anyone, it can only be the murderer of the murder.

Perhaps in other places, students might want the school to have a blackout so they don't have to go to class, but at Gotham University, even if they don't go to class, they have nowhere to go, because it's too dangerous outside.

Not going to class, staying in a school without electricity is simply torture, so no student will damage the equipment in the power distribution room just because he doesn't want to go to class.

Victor leaned in sideways again, pointed inside and said: "The pipeline may be aging, and a controller will not appear out of thin air here. Someone installed a remote control switch here. If I guessed correctly, the All electrical facilities have been equipped with this thing."

"What's the use?" Gordon actually didn't see what Victor was pointing at at all, and he was sure that even if he saw it, he wouldn't understand it, so he asked directly.

"Obviously it can shut down schools, and I suspect it can even shut down a building or even a room."

Victor stroked his chin and said, "Actually, you don't need to go to such trouble to cut off the power to the school's buildings and rooms. You can just come here, find the electrical box, and do a little manipulation."

"He needs to get such a device, which means that he may not be able to come here all the time, so he can only control it remotely." Schiller said.

"Then he should not be a student or teacher at Gotham University, he might be an outsider." Gordon speculated that he seemed to have some ideas, then looked at Victor and said, "Professor Victor, please Check this device to see if you can follow the signal to find the person holding the remote control, and I will call the guard's surveillance to see if there is any suspicious person."

After finishing speaking, Gordon sighed, and he drove out all the other police officers. When only he and a few professors were left here, he said, "The murder that happened in Gotham University made the godfather very Dissatisfied, he thought it was someone provoking him, so I was under a lot of pressure."

"If you have any clues, please tell me. The students are innocent. I don't want this kind of tragedy to happen again."

As soon as he said this, a police officer rushed in and shouted: "The third floor! There was another attack on the third floor!!!"
