Chapter 964: The Butler Is on the Move! (Part 1)
The lights of Wayne Manor swayed in the Gotham night rain, as if they were candles that could be extinguished at any time. But this kind of light has been burning here for decades. No matter whether its owner returns or not, the loyal butler will always be there. Stay here, guard the beacon of returning home in the long night,
Alfred picked up a garden shovel, uprooted a broccoli in the garden, and threw it over the wall, hitting a crazy pedestrian on the head, causing him to scream.
Alfred crossed himself on his chest and said, "I'm so sorry, but it would be a good thing if it could make you sober up."
Then he shook his head and said: "Miss Elsa doesn't like broccoli. Although I think she should eat more vegetables, there is no need to let the whole garden be covered with broccoli, which will make her sneeze." of."
After saying that, he continued to eradicate the broccoli 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 more than three minutes. After a while, the broccoli was cut down. , it has piled up into a hill.
At this moment, he heard the bell on the mailbox ringing. Alfred raised his head and glanced at the sky. Obviously, now was not the time for the newsboy to deliver the newspaper.
He frowned, but still put down the tools in his hand, went to the nearby tool room to change his clothes and shoes, walked through the hall to the door, and then saw Merkel wearing a raincoat with an anxious face.
"Why are you here at this time?" Alfred asked as he opened the door.
"In fact, I should have come earlier." Merkel's voice was very hoarse. He said: "But I have to get rid of those who are staring at me first."
Alfred immediately looked around warily, and then said to Merkel: "Follow me."
He took Merkel back to the garden, asked him to put on the clothes of a gardener, and gave him a garden shovel. The two of them went to the most open area in the center of the garden. Then Alfred asked while shoveling the ground. : "What's wrong? Are you being targeted?"
Merkel held the garden shovel tightly in her hand and said: "CIA agents broke into the Rodriguez estate and arrested Mr. Schiller."
Alfred paused and asked, "Why? What reason do they have to arrest such a respected professor?"
"They said he was from the KGB..." Merkel's voice trembled: "I should have thought of it earlier. If he is really not one of ours, how could he tolerate me wandering around the manor?"
"Can you imagine, a complete American, knowing full well that his butler might be a Soviet spy, and pretending that he doesn't know anything?"
Merkel knocked on the ground with some annoyance and said: "Originally, I thought he might just agree with our ideas or have friends 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 how were they dressed?" What kind of car do you drive? "
Merkel gave a brief description, Alfred nodded and said: "That's okay, it should be just an ordinary arrest. There is still room for recovery. So, let me contact Kayla 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 and they didn't take it seriously."
"However, Professor Schiller said that he was the organizer and leader of the Central American revolution and wanted to apply for important witness protection." Merkel sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid it's because he knows that his exposure is inevitable. That’s why we want to wear this identity to protect our comrades.”
Alfred's expression stiffened, but before he said anything, Merkel said to herself:
"According to the information I have received, the FBI, CIA and KGB are all investigating matters in Central America. Mexico is now in a mess. If Schiller steps forward at this time, he 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 must 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 steps forward at this time, even if he has extraordinary abilities, he will probably be in trouble. , we must 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 Schiller's information based on it." The professor’s flaws will make the interrogation he faces even more severe.”
Merkel obviously didn't know what to do. His face was very bad and he looked very guilty. He said: "I am such a fool. In fact, I have clearly guessed that Professor Schiller may be in the same group as us. I obviously feel that he is very similar to us, but I feel that since he doesn’t want to say it, there is no need for me to keep asking.”
"In other words, I think we each have our own tasks, and I don't have to ask for his help to complete my own work. It's all because of my arrogance that we lost the most important window of communication. I couldn't Even if I gave him any important information, he failed to leave me any important information. This is really fatal!”
After listening to Merkel's words, Alfred fell into thinking. When the Mexican Revolution happened, everyone was looking for the organizer of the movement, including the KGB.

The KGB searched for a long time and 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.
Let's look at the Philby List incident first. At the beginning, Philby had already sat in the position of the head of the British intelligence organization. At this time, he was investigated and strictly controlled. The standards of this investigation and control were very high.
Even if the British intelligence department is stupid, they know what the consequences will be if their boss has problems, so they are rarely united. The situation Philby faced at the time was completely a life-or-death situation.
But at this time, Alfred was able to contact Philby. He was even able to bring out the list, which is enough to show that his status in the UK is not low, and such informants have the same status in the KGB.
Such a status actually comes from the hereditary butler family Pennyworth. The hereditary butler family sounds like a vassal of the nobility, but in fact it is the opposite. The Pennyworth family comes from the era of 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 the network of relationships covers the entire upper class of Britain.
Such a person is almost invincible when he joins hands with Philby, who controls the British intelligence organization.
In addition, Alfred has been silent in the United States for many years, and has plenty of time to lay the groundwork and lead such an event, so the KGB thinks that Alfred is very likely.
Of course, they can't be sure, but the reason why they handed the Red Banner Medal and the handwritten letter to Alfred was nothing more than a test, and the result also made them very satisfied. Alfred did not deny it, which means that although this matter may not be organized by him, he must know about it.
But in fact, Alfred was completely unaware of it. The reason why he admitted this matter was actually to cover up the real organizer.
Intelligence work is like this, the information between each other is not transparent, not only to be wary of each other, but also to be wary of your 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 through him, so he simply accepted the title. Even if someone wanted to find the organizer by following this clue, they could only find him.
Finding Alfred was tantamount to walking into a trap. Not to mention the defense facilities of Batman and Wayne Manor, the chaotic situation in Gotham alone was enough for them to drink a pot.
However, when Alfred heard that Schiller accepted the title, he had another suspicion.
Indeed, Schiller might want to cover up the real organizer like him, but there is another possibility that Schiller is the real organizer.
Although Merkel is Schiller's housekeeper, he doesn't know Schiller as well as Alfred. On the one hand, Alfred is an old friend of the Godfather and the old priest. When Schiller first came to Gotham, the old priest noticed him and recommended him to the Godfather. At the same time, he also entered Alfred's field of vision.
Alfred is at a higher level than Merkel. At the same time, as a person of the same generation as Kimfield, he is much better than Merkel in terms of struggle experience and intuitive judgment. Therefore, he felt that Schiller might be the same kind of person as him a long time ago.
Later, Bruce became Schiller's student, and Alfred dealt with Schiller more and more. Later, Dick and Aisha often went to Rodriguez Manor for classes, and Alfred and Schiller became more and more familiar.
He certainly knew that this professor had many abilities that ordinary people did not have, and he was not as indifferent to politics as he seemed. Alfred always believed that Schiller had been stirring up the world situation in his own way.
Huanyuanapp! huanyuanapp.
So when thinking carefully about the identity of the organizer of the Central American Revolution, Alfred felt. Schiller is very likely.
Although he had never heard of Schiller's name in the KGB, this was normal. The intelligence between many KGB bureaus was not exchanged, and the personnel did not know each other. Perhaps, this revolution was the result of Schiller coming to the East Coast to lurk and carry out a long-term secret mission.
Thinking of this, Alfred frowned, turned his head and looked at Merkel and said, "Do you remember the appearance of the car that took Schiller away? Do you know which road they took?"
"Of course." Merkel replied, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then said, "Originally, I planned to chase them immediately, but they left a few agents to watch us in the manor, and I had to find a reasonable excuse to leave."
"Besides. Gotham is very chaotic now, with broccoli and biting lunatics all over the streets. I am afraid that I can't deal with so many agents with my own ability, so I came to you, Alfred."
Alfred nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the phone in the hall suddenly ring. He walked over and picked up the receiver. Kayla's slightly anxious voice came from the other side:
"Alfred, just now, I received news from the CIA that the organizer of the Central American Revolution was arrested..."
"But the escort agent sent by the FBI and the escort target disappeared together!"
