The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

The lights of Wayne Manor flickered in the night rain of Gotham, like candles that would go out at any time, but this kind of fire has been lit here for decades, no matter whether its owner returns or not, the loyal butler will always be there. Stay here, keep the beacon of home in the long night,

Alfred picked up the gardening shovel, uprooted a broccoli in the garden, and threw it over the fence, hitting a crazy passerby on the head, causing him to let out a scream.

Alfred made a sign of the cross on his chest and said, I'm so sorry, but if it makes you clearer, it's a good thing.

Then he shook his head and said: Miss Aisha doesn't like broccoli, although I think she should eat more vegetables, but there is no need to let the whole garden be full of broccoli, it will make her sneeze of.

After finishing speaking, he continued to eradicate the broccoli that had turned from vines, with a gardening shovel in one hand and a logging ax in the other. No broccoli could survive under his hands for three minutes. After a while, the chopped broccoli , has piled up into a hill.

At this moment, he heard the bell on the mailbox rang. Alfred looked up at the sky. Obviously, now was not the time for newsboys to deliver newspapers.

He frowned, but still put down the tools in his hand, went to the tool room next to him to change his clothes and shoes, walked through the hall to the door, and then saw Merkel in a raincoat with an anxious face.

Why are you here at this hour? Alfred asked as he opened the door.

Actually, I should have come here earlier. Merkel's voice was very hoarse, he said: But first I have to get rid of those who are staring at me.

Alfred immediately looked around vigilantly, and then said to Merkel: Follow me.

He took Merkel back to the garden, asked him to change into a gardener's attire, and gave him a gardening shovel. The two came to the most open area in the middle of the garden, and Alfred asked while shoveling. : What's wrong? Are you being watched?

Clutching her garden shovel tightly, Merkel said: Agents of the CIA broke into the Rodriguez estate and arrested Mr. Schiller.

Alfred's movements paused, and he asked: Why? What reason do they have to arrest such a highly respected professor?

They said he was the KGB... Merkel's voice trembled a little: I should have thought about it a long time ago. If he is really not one of us, how could he tolerate me wandering around in the manor?

Can you imagine? A complete American pretending to know nothing when he knows his housekeeper is probably a Soviet spy?

Merkel knocked on the ground with some annoyance and said, Originally, I thought that he might just agree with our philosophy, or have friends over there, but I didn't expect that he was actually...

Calm down, Merkel. Alfred's tone was still calm, and he asked: How many people did they come and what kind of clothes did they make? What kind of car are you driving?

Merkel briefly described it, and Alfred nodded and said: That's okay, it should be just an ordinary arrest, and everything can be redeemed, so let me contact Kaila first...

But at this time, Merkel looked into Alfred's eyes and said: Indeed, I also know that it was just an ordinary arrest at the beginning. There were very few people who came, and they didn't take it very seriously.

However, Professor Schiller said that he was the organizer and leader of the Central American revolution, and he wanted to apply for the protection of important witnesses. Merkel sighed deeply and said, I'm afraid it's because he knows that his exposure is inevitable. That’s why I want to put on this identity to protect our comrades.”

Alfred's expression froze for a moment, but before he said anything, Merkel said to himself:

According to the information I have received, the FBI, CIA and KGB are all investigating matters in Central America, and Mexico is now in a mess. If Schiller stands up at this time, it will indeed attract most of the attention.

In this way, the comrade who led the revolution in Central America may have less pressure on his shoulders, but this also means that Professor Schiller has to deal with those terrible interrogators!

They are going crazy now! Merkel raised her voice and emphasized: They are no longer afraid to use any means. If Mr. Schiller stands up at this time, even if he has abilities beyond ordinary people, I am afraid it will be bad luck. , we have to find a way to save him!

After finishing speaking, he sighed again and said: But I dare not contact Moscow rashly. I also know that the CIA has been trying to find answers from within us. If I pass this news back, they may get Professor Schiller's information based on it. If there are any flaws, it will make the interrogation he faces more severe.

Merkel obviously didn't know what to do. His complexion was very bad and he seemed very guilty. He said: I'm such an idiot. In fact, I clearly guessed that Professor Schiller may be with us all the way. I obviously feel that he is very similar to us, but I think he doesn't want to say it, and I don't need to keep asking.

In other words, I think we have our own tasks, and I don't have to ask him to help me to complete my own work. It's all because of my arrogance. We lost the most important window of communication. Give him any important information, and he failed to leave me any important information, which is really fatal!

After listening to Merkel's words, Alfred fell into thinking. When the Mexican Revolution happened, everyone was looking for the organizers of the movement, including the KGB.

The KGB searched internally for a long time, but did not find this person. Finally, they set their sights on Alfred. This is not a coincidence. This inference is very reasonable, because Alfred's level is actually higher than Batman imagined even higher.

Let’s start with the Philby list incident. At the beginning, Philby had already taken the position of head of the British intelligence organization. At this time, he was investigated and strictly controlled. The specifications of this investigation and control are very High.

No matter how stupid the British intelligence agencies were, they knew what would happen if their boss had a problem, so they were united in a rare way. The situation Philby faced at the time was a near-death situation.

But at this time, Alfred was able to get in touch with Philby. Even being able to bring out the list is enough to show that his status in the UK is not low, and such an informant has the same status in the KGB.

Such a status actually comes from the Pennyworth family of the hereditary stewards. The hereditary stewards sound like vassals of the nobility, but in fact it is the opposite. The Pennyworth family comes from the era of the real monarchy and has served several British kings. .

After the establishment of the virtual monarchy, they still have a close relationship with the British royal family. There have been several generations of Whitehall butlers and the so-called No. 10 Minister of Life in the family, and their relationship network has spread throughout the entire upper class of the UK.

Such a person teaming up with Philby, who controls the British intelligence organization, is almost invincible.

In addition, Alfred has been silent in the United States for many years, and he has enough time to lay the groundwork and lead such an activity, so the KGB thinks that Alfred is very likely.

Of course, they were not sure, but the reason why they handed over the Order of the Red Banner and the personal letter to Alfred was nothing more than a test, and the result was very satisfactory to them. Alfred did not deny it, which shows that, Although he may not have organized this incident, he must have known about it.

But in fact, Alfred didn't know it at all. The reason why he admitted this matter was actually to cover up for the real organizer.

Intelligence work is like this, each other's information is not transparent, not only to beware of the other party, but also beware of one's own people.

Alfred didn't know what the purpose of the person who sent the medal and the letter was, whether he wanted to trick the real organizer out through him, so he simply accepted the name, even if someone wanted to follow this clue to find The organizer can only find his head.

And to find Alfred on his head is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap. Leaving aside the defense facilities of Batman and Wayne Manor, the chaos in Gotham alone is enough for them to drink a pot.

However, when Alfred heard that Schiller had accepted the name, he had another suspicion.

Indeed, Schiller, like him, may want to cover the real organizer, but there is another possibility that Schiller is the real organizer.

Although Merkel is Schiller's butler, he is far less familiar with Schiller than Alfred. On the one hand, Alfred is old friends with the godfather and the old priest. When Schiller first came to Gotham, the old priest He noticed him and recommended him to the godfather. At the same time, he also entered Alfred's vision.

Alfred is at a higher level than Merkel. At the same time, as a person of the same age as Kim Philby, he is much stronger than Merkel in terms of struggle experience and intuitive judgment. Therefore, a long time ago, He felt that Schiller might be a kind of person with him.

Later, Bruce became Schiller's student, and Alfred and Schiller dealt more and more often. Later, Dick and Aisha often went to Rodriguez Manor for classes, and Alfred and Schiller also It became more and more familiar.

Of course he knows that this professor has many abilities that ordinary people do not have, and he is not as indifferent to politics as he seems. Alfred always believes that Schiller has been using his own methods to stir up the world situation.

So when thinking carefully about the identity of the organizer of the Central American Revolution, Alfred felt. Schiller is very likely.

Although he has never heard of Schiller's name in the KGB, this is also normal. Among the many bureaus of the KGB, intelligence is not communicated, and the personnel do not know each other. Perhaps, this revolution is Schiller. Came to the east coast to lurk down, the result of a long line of secret missions.

Thinking of this, Alfred frowned. He turned to look at Merkel and said, Do you remember the car that took Schiller away? Do you know which way they took?

Of course. Merkel replied, he tried to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then said: Originally, I planned to pursue immediately, but they left a few agents watching us in the manor , I have to find a reasonable excuse to leave.

Also. Gotham is very chaotic right now. The streets are full of broccoli and biting lunatics. I'm afraid I can't deal with so many agents with my own ability. That's why I came to you, Alfred .”

Alfred nodded, and just about to speak, he heard the phone in the hall rang suddenly. After he walked over, he picked up the receiver, and Keira's slightly anxious voice came from the opposite side:

Alfred, just now, I received news from the CIA that the organizers of the Central American Revolution were arrested...

However, the escort agents sent by the FBI and the escort target disappeared together!
