Chapter Seventy-Six: So Here comes the problem
If it was said that the vigilante who had been exterminating gangsters and serious criminals was Rorschach, well, it was not impossible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ The only 3.5-second video is evidence that Rorschach did burn alive a scum who brutally killed a little girl and fed the body to a dog. But attacking continuously and shooting a shot to change places is not quite like Rorschach's style......
"Something must be wrong." Zorro thought with a frown.
Instead of opening the glass dish that Simmons handed over, Zorro put it down and turned to look through the other information on the case.
The other three in the main control center all noticed his performance. He didn't explain, though, and neither did Fitz and Simmons. Only Skye spoke directly.
"You've already found out, right? You know that person? Unlikely, that's probably the hood you recognized? โ
Now that someone asked, Fitz and Simmons also looked over.
Suddenly noticing that all three of them were looking at him, Zorro was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head slightly.
"I just think the ever-changing ink patterns on that mask are something special. Do you know about the Rorschach inkblot test? โ
As a result, before he could finish speaking, Simmons patted himself on the head.
"How could we never have thought of this!" She said with annoyance.
Fitz also shook his head depressedly: "Before, we were too entangled in the materials and manufacturing process of the mask. โ
And Skye was more depressed than Fitz - what the three companions knew, she didn't know, and she was happy.
"Are any of you going to tell me about what the Rorschach inkblot test is?"
Three, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Simmons spoke.?
"It was a projective test founded by a Swiss psychiatrist named Rorschach, a psychiatrist, and it was the most famous of its kind. It consists of 10 carefully crafted inkblots, both black and white and color, displayed in different sequences, allowing the subject to say what the inkblot is associated with, and then occasionally recording and analyzing these reactions to diagnose the personality traits of the subject. โ
Skye, a girl who dropped out of high school, was confused. Of course, she won't admit it.
"So it's used to examine the mentally ill, right? It's good to just say that~"
Simmons rolled his eyes and ignored her, but looked at Zorro again, "But you know that this doesn't help our case, right?" โ
Zorro nodded, then shook his head.
"It can't be said that there is nothing at all. At least we can know that the other person is a mentally handicapped person. So we're going to remind Coulson to be careful. The thinking logic of the other party may be different from that of ordinary people. โ
Simmons was stunned for a moment: "Why?" Do you think the murderer would be a mentally ill person? Maybe they're psychiatrists! โ
"If the ink doesn't appear on the mask hood but on the piece of paper, then he's a psychiatrist." Zorro shrugged, "And I didn't say he's mentally ill." I just think he might be more extreme or violent. โ
Simmons nodded a little embarrassedly: "You're right." โ
Next, the four of them are still separated from three aspects to promote the process of solving the case. Fiz Simmons and the others continued to assist Coulson, who had been out all night, to "visit the home" of senior judges, prosecutors, and others; Skye's comparison model is almost built and the final data entry part is underway; As for Zorro, he had already read almost all of the information at a pace that stunned the other three.
"Those photos from the murder scene again? You've seen them for the third time, right? Skye suddenly came to Zorro's side and asked, "Don't you think those images are disgusting?" โ
Indeed, bloody and ferocious. Skye took one look and didn't want to look at it anymore. Zorro watched it for the second time instead of the third, but this time it took a bit longer.
"I found a problem."
"What?!"
Skye exclaimed, she didn't expect Zorro to really make a new discovery. After all, Coulson and May, they've analyzed these photos before. Hearing the movement, Fitz and Simmons also came over. This is the toughest and most nerve-challenging case they have ever touched, and they also hope that it will end soon.
Zorro glanced at them, "Fiz Simmons, bring in Coulson's comms as well." โ
The two were stunned for a moment, then agreed. So two minutes later......
"Diego, Fiz said you made a discovery." Coulson's voice came from the PA equipment in the main control center.
"Yes." Zorro replied calmly, "But before that I want to know something. How did you know for sure that the vigilante, well, the murderer, was only one person? โ
It's a bit offensive, but Coulson gives a straight answer.
"It's the same brutal tactics on the one hand, and on the other hand, our agents have actually almost caught up with the killer several times, but it's a little far away, and you can only see the back - the same back, and it's in different parts of California. And the most important thing is that our people have been deployed at the most important intersections in California, and if there is more than one person, it is impossible for the murderer to go unnoticed while shuttling between different places. โ
Zorro didn't know about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s patrols and guard arrangements, so he asked, "Even if they disperse?" โ
And Coulson's answer was very confident: "Even if they disperse their actions." โ
"OK, then here's the problem. How is it possible for a person to have multiple habits? "I've studied the photos that were taken from the scene. Although because of the bloody violence, the clues that might have been left on the corpses have been destroyed. But there are still some inconspicuous places. For example, when you break a person's neck, some people usually twist it to the right, while others are used to twisting it to the left. There are both on the photo. โ
Ward's voice came from the newsletter: "That doesn't tell the story. The murderer can be either standing in front of the deceased or behind the deceased. โ
Zorro didn't care about the other party's coldness: "I also agree with this, if there is no other difference." I divided those photographs into three categories, representing the three levels of cruelty โ which I deliberately distinguished. Simply breaking hands, feet, or necks with violence is mild (Skye and Fitz Simmons look at each other: is this mild?!). Extensive stab wounds or contusions and the use of thermal weapons are considered moderate, and those with obvious deliberate destruction of corpses are severe. โ
"I know what you're trying to say. But I don't think so. It was still Ward's voice, "We've analyzed it, and the three levels you mentioned will appear in almost every area, so ......"
Hearing this, Zorro interrupted the other party: "So you think it's because the murderer's behavior has no usual methods, or deliberately eliminates the usual methods?" โ
"That's right."
"In that case, you should have listened to me first." Neither refuting nor getting angry, Zorro remained rather indifferent, "Your conclusion is based on the concept of gang turf. You probably think that the murderer will be territorial. And what I found is that almost all cases of the same homicide scene, here there are multiple deceased cases, and the modus operandi will be very consistent. Mild ones are all mild, and there will definitely be no bullet or knife marks at the scene where the murderer breaks his hands and feet and breaks his neck. What's even more noteworthy is that there are several murder scenes not far from each other that have different modus operandi, which is why you conclude that the murderer deliberately eliminated the usual modusion. But there is one thing you overlook, the time of the incident is at least two days apart. โ
In the end, in the silence of Coulson and Ward, Zorro concludes that there are two people who are murderers - strictly two groups, or more. And they consciously cooperate, one person attracts attention on the bright side, such as the one who has been photographed in the back several times, and the other group can commit crimes in another place while attracting Coulson's side of the people away from the previous person!
"So the two groups take care of each other and give each other your attention. That's why you still haven't been able to find an entry point to solve the case. โ
