Schiller first set his eyes on Bruce, who turned his head. Looking at the pool of blood hidden in the darkness, my mind went back to last night.

In Wayne Manor at night, Bruce was looking up some information in the library, although he had already known that his butler was not an ordinary person after returning from the Met, but he still needed to investigate the secret agents, the Philby list, the Soviet Union, and those old things.

But at this moment, there was a loud noise from upstairs, and Bruce reluctantly closed the book, covered his forehead, and then stood up and came upstairs.

Upstairs in the room, Aisha was learning to speak from Dick and Alfred, and she had learned how to pronounce "wow wow wow" in different tones, and even English words two syllables or less.

But everyone knows that every child is a loudspeaker when learning a language, and loud pronunciation seems to help them build confidence in the language, so many times it is how loud and loud it is.

And they also like to repeat, and seem to be able to find the rules of language in repetition over and over again, and repeat loudly, Aisha is now a humanoid siren, and Bruce even thinks that he can develop a batcave alarm device based on Aisha's cry.

Even though the Bat Cave was more than half a city away from Wayne Manor, Bruce could hear it whenever there was a ring.

This is different from crying, when Aisha cries, Bruce and Selena will try their best to coax, and when she is tired of crying, she will naturally go to sleep, but learning a language is a serious matter, looking at Alfred's appreciative expression, Bruce knows that there is no part of talking by himself here.

Moreover, language learning classes have a class time requirement, and they will not stop until they have learned for a certain amount of time, and it is clear that Alfred thinks that Aisha's learning to speak is much more important than Bruce not looking up information in the library.

Originally, Alfred would not disturb Bruce to do business, but some time ago, Bruce was addicted to magic and had a bad record, not only following Constantine, but also finding some strange magic books, Alfred was very worried that Bruce would go astray, so he always tried to divert his attention.

So now, the old butler doesn't care when Bruce has to stay in the library to look up information, and he won't deliberately arrange for Aisha's language class to miss this time, which causes Bruce to be noisy and can't do anything at all.

Some people may say that Bruce can go to work in the Bat Cave, but the problem is that the Bat Cave is far away from Wayne Manor, and Alfred requires Bruce to go home every day, so the library at Gotham University becomes a better place to work.

Bruce checked the information very late last night, so he simply slept in the dormitory, although the facilities of Gotham University are a little old, but the layout is still good, all the bedrooms in the dormitory are single rooms, and there is a common room on each floor.

But because it's an old dormitory building after all, the sound insulation is relatively poor, and in fact, Bruce, who lives on the second floor, has been woken up when Lex is laboriously dragging boxes from the first floor.

Rycks and Thomas happened to meet in the stairwell on the second floor, and Bruce heard what they said, so he wasn't surprised when he saw Lykes, and cooperated with him to pretend not to know each other.

"You probably didn't even notice it yourself, but the sound of you dragging the box was so loud that the vibration of the box on the steps of the stairs was even transmitted to my bedboard." Bruce said, turning to Lex.

"And it is precisely because of this that I suspect that Thomas is headed, because the time you dragged the box from the first floor to the second floor is just enough for an ordinary person to go from the other side of the stairs from the fourth floor to the first floor, through the entire corridor, and then up to the first floor, to the second floor stairwell where you are."

Bruce glanced back at the entire hallway and said, "Based on Thomas's stride length and pace, the error would not exceed 3 seconds, and such a coincidence is more than a coincidence in murder." ”

"I speculate that when your box first made a noise when it hit the staircase steps, I was awakened on the second floor, and Thomas, who was on the fourth floor, just after finishing the eucalyptus, was also alarmed."

He realized that there might be new students coming, and he didn't know the exact number, so he hurriedly cleaned up the eucalyptus scene, ran downstairs, and caught up with you along the stairs you had walked.

"When he found out that you were the only one, he realized that not only did he not need to panic, but he could also treat you as a co-witness to the discovery of the scene of the eucalyptus, but it was a bit stupid, he didn't do the delay mechanism, and when you came, Doris should have been dead, so there is no way for you to be a witness in his absence."

"You only explained why Thomas appeared." Lex crossed his arms and said, "Estimating the time is not conclusive evidence, but I knew that he had killed someone shortly after I met him. ”

"He did a very stupid thing, and that was that he put on a blazer to cover up the blood on his shirt, and it was true that I couldn't see any signs from a head-up angle, but when he walked up the stairs ahead of me with his suitcase, I deliberately pretended to be physically exhausted, and he left me behind."

"In this way, there is a difference between us, and I can look at the marks on his body more comprehensively, and at this time, I found that I could see blood stains in the gap between the hem of his suit jacket and his shirt."

"Of course, it is also possible that he himself was injured, so I continued to observe, and I found that he was not easy when lifting the box, and it could even be said that he was a little exhausted, if he was really injured himself, then there was no need to show such enthusiasm to help me before, after all, we had never met, just strangers."

"I guessed he was hiding something, and it wasn't until I got to the fourth floor and saw the scene of the eucalyptus scene that I was sure that he was the murderer."

"Why?" Gordon asked.

Lex walked to the eucalyptus scene, pointed to the corpse and said, "The victim was pierced in the chest with a javelin, and judging by the wound, the javelin was pierced from the top down, which means that the murderer must have committed the murder in this position......"

As he spoke, Lex made a gesture of raising the javelin and stabbing downward, that is, holding both hands weakly, with the left hand in front and the right hand behind, forming a straight line, and after lifting it above his head, he stabbed down hard.

"Thomas is taller than me, so he doesn't need to lift that high, but Doris is definitely not that short enough to stab her from top to bottom without having to raise a javelin," Lex continued. ”

"Therefore, if he wants to commit the crime in such a way, he must raise his arms, that is, if at that time he was wearing only a shirt, then there is a place where there is usually no blood splattered and there will be blood stains, and that is the armpits."

"And before, the shirt I saw behind him through the gap in his blazer happened to have blood on the right armpit."

"Wait a minute!" Gordon suddenly spoke up, and he said, "You can still see blood on your shirt through the gap in your suit in the almost pitch black stairwell?" Gordon lifted his trench coat and looked at it, and saw that it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, and he was close enough.

At this time, the entire dormitory building was without power, and the corridor still had some glimmer because of the windows, but the staircase part, because of the angle of the windows, there was almost no light and it was pitch black.

But at this moment, Gordon, who was standing at this angle, saw that there was a glimmer of light in Lex's eyes, and he didn't look like an ordinary human.

And Schiller also saw this, and he remembered that Alberto, who had fallen into the wine pool before, also had a faint glow in his eyes, which may have been caused by the Dionysian factor.

Whether the Joker has night vision or not, no one knows, but anyway, he can compete with Batman with night vision devices in the dark night of Gotham.

"Alright, now it's only the motive left." Gordon stood next to the corpse, thought for a moment, and then said: "What my subordinates reported to me just now is that nothing suspicious was found on the deceased, and her handbag is full of ordinary cosmetics, which seem to be used for makeup before going on stage. ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"According to Christine, Doris has a boyfriend who just works at the Met's Central Research Institute, and the two are in a long-distance relationship, but because they are not far away, they get together every week, and she and Thomas should not have much in common."

At this time, Bruce said: "Thomas also has a girlfriend, or a fiancée, which was arranged for him by his family, he is not interested in baseball and football, he has never been close to the cheerleading troupe, he only knows Christine, the head of the dance troupe, and Christine just didn't say that Doris and Thomas have any emotional entanglements, so it shouldn't be a love killing." ”

"He should have planned it in advance, otherwise, it would be impossible to prepare such a thing as a javelin, I have to admit that this is a good murder weapon, but to get this at Gotham University, you have to apply to open the equipment room......"

"Then let's go and check the application records, shall we?" Gordon immediately picked up his phone and said to the other end: "It's me, you come here again, get the search warrant, we have to collect evidence......"

Soon, several people came to the office where the physical education teacher was, and the physical education teacher at Gotham University was divided into a normal physical education teacher and an aerobics coach with a cheerleading troupe, and at this time, it happened to be an aerobics coach in the office, she took out a form, and said, "...... Here, three days ago, Thomas had applied to borrow a javelin......"

"Can you determine which javelin it is?"

"Yes, all of our equipment is numbered."

"Is it the javelin number 5012?" Gordon asked.

"Application Record...... Equipment No....... That's right, it's 5012. ”

At this time, the identity, motive, methods, and murder weapons are all in place, it can be said that the evidence is conclusive, and Thomas, who was taken to make a record, did not have any chance to resist, and with the sound of the camera, the image of Thomas in prison wearing a prison uniform and holding an information card was permanently left in the file room of the Gotham Police Station.

This is a murder eucalyptus with a beginning and an end, the exploration process is very smooth, and the chain of evidence is very clear, which can be said to be a typical murder eucalyptus.

Even if you don't need Bruce and Lex to make an inference, Gordon alone will end up checking the application records in the equipment room, and at most a day's delay, this eucalyptus will come to light.

And the day after the eucalyptus knot, the Gotham Police Department received a call from Christine, the head of the cheerleading troupe, who wept and said:

"Detective Gordon! Come on! Come to the Gotham University Coliseum...... Another member of the dance troupe is dead!
