There were too many people here, and Schiller didn't use flashes, he ran up the stairs to the third floor of the building where the distribution room was located.

It used to be an old canteen, but because a new canteen was built, it was converted into a warehouse, where teaching aids, office utensils, and sports equipment were stored, and Schiller came to the room where the teaching aids were stacked, and a girl was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

Schiller walked up and found that she was still breathing, and at this time, Gordon and several people also rushed up, and found that the person was still alive, Gordon and Victor were relieved, they hurriedly called an ambulance, and before the ambulance came, Schiller observed the girl's wound.

She was stabbed twice in the abdomen, the knife was not large, it should have been caused by a small knife such as a fruit knife, the corner of her mouth was broken, and there was a bruise on the side of her nose, Schiller guessed that someone should have attacked her from behind, stretched out an arm to cover her mouth, and then stabbed her in the abdomen with a fruit knife in the other hand.

"Heaven Descends"

Schiller turned his head to look and asked Gordon, "Is the scene of the death that happened in the gymnasium lounge still there?" ”

"Someone is packing, are you going to go over? I can call and tell them to pause for a while. ”

"I'll take a look." Schiller glanced back at the injured girl, who was being urgently bandaged by the police officers, and the girl's beautiful face was extremely pale at this time, and she was trembling with pain and unable to speak.

Schiller walked out quickly, Victor hurriedly followed, although he didn't see Schiller's expression, but Victor knew Schiller very well, he stepped forward and patted Schiller on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be angry, we will bring the murderer to justice." ”

Schiller didn't say anything, just kept walking, at this time, the clouds over Gotham were so thick that it was impossible to tell if the morning had passed, but soon, thick dark clouds covered the city again, and it began to rain again in Gotham.

When they arrived at the gymnasium, the crying members of the dance troupe had been evacuated to the back of the seats, and there were two police officers waiting at the door of the lounge, apparently, they all knew Schiller, and when Schiller walked in, the body was still in place, but everything around it had been removed.

The cause of death of the deceased was easily identifiable, as only the fatal wound on the neck was very conspicuous, and Schiller walked over and examined it briefly, and then glanced again at the belt that had been kept in the evidence bag.

It was a decorative belt, which was supposed to be worn around the waist by the members of the dance troupe during the performance, so it was made of metal and a thin iron chain, which is why the wound on the neck of the deceased was so obvious.

There are no fingerprints, no footprints, almost no traces, and no motive people, no bystanders, no secret rooms, which is the polar opposite of the typical murders that have preceded them.

Victor stood in the center of the room, his face was solemn, obviously, he also found out, there was too little evidence, it was difficult to investigate, but Schiller was thoughtful, Victor saw his expression and stepped forward and asked, "Do you have an idea?" ”

"If you look at this murder alone, it may be difficult to judge, but if you connect all the recent murders, you will find that the methods used by the murderers are completely different, there is no connection between them, and the location of the eucalyptus occurs has nothing in common except that they are all inside Gotham University."

"The only thing that can be called a common denominator is that the victims are all women."

"Yes, they should all be members of the dance company, could it be that someone is the enemy of the dance company, so they ......"

Schiller shook his head and said: "The girl who was victimized in the storage room just now, not a member of the cheerleading troupe, I remember her, she is a junior in the physics department, because of her good grades and serious study, so she is very liked by the professor, and the teaching aids used in the usual physics class are prepared by her, so she will appear in the storage room of that teaching aids......"

"Then it will be more difficult to identify the murderer."

"Another thing that is common is that the women who are victims are very beautiful." Schiller recalled: "And, they had a similar temperament. ”

Victor also thought about it, he felt that what Schiller said made sense, at least the two girls he saw were indeed very beautiful, and it was not wrong to say that the temperament was similar, the temperament of college students was similar, youthful, lively, and a little childish and ignorant.

Even though Gotham is a hopelessly rotten city, the students of Gotham University are still better than other Gotham citizens, because the high proportion of outsiders here has a gloomy atmosphere, and even the sunshine and positive atmosphere can be seen in the daily activities of the students, which is rare in Gotham.

On the way back to the office, Schiller opened up the conversation after a long time and talked to Victor about his opinion.

"Maybe I've said before that serial killers like to deliberately make connections."

"They will pick a subject, and then arrange the identity of the victim, the time of the action, and the place of the occurrence according to that theme, and some murderers who have compulsion will even have requirements for how, when and when the body was found, and the identity of the bystander."

"Making connections and guiding the line of sight is their forte, and they like to let the police officers who run the eucalyptus be guided by the clues and evidence they leave behind, and find the answer little by little, which will give them a sense of accomplishment, a sense of accomplishment of killing their own kind and playing with their own kind."

"Among the serial killers I've met, it's not that the more brutal the method, the more dangerous it is, or the less evidence left, the better it is, sometimes, it's the opposite."

"Every case they commit may be very ordinary, but there is an inscrutable theme when they are connected, they may have left a lot of clues at the scene, and then watched with high interest as the staff were tricked ......around."

"In general, it is not their purpose to kill someone, it is their purpose to break the law, break the bottom line, but then hover back into the danger of paying or not paying the price, and use themselves as a bet to observe the reaction of the whole society."

"So, even though these cases have some elements of serial killings, such as the fact that they all happened at Gotham University and the victims were all women, it was still not a serial killing."

"Because the murderer is not only not making connections, on the contrary, he is desperately trying to erase the connections, he wants to make every eucalyptus look unrelated, and reduce the number of commonalities in each eucalyptus to a minimum."

"There is another point that can be proven, that is, he eliminated the evidence at the scene as much as possible, so that the people who did it came and went without a trace, so that the police were confused and could not investigate anything."

"It's too boring for the serial killers, who want to control and guide the investigators and get them to follow the instructions, rather than watching others run around like headless flies in their own elaborate exhibitions."

"And from this conclusion, it can be inferred that the purpose of the murderer of this eucalyptus murderer is opposite to the purpose of the serial murderer, that is, if the purpose of the serial murderer is not to kill, then the purpose of the murderer is precisely to kill."

Victor held up his umbrella, and he saw that Schiller's face was shrouded in his umbrella, and in the shadows, he could not see any expression.

But whenever Schiller talks about these things related to his past, there is always a chilling indifference, as if he has a natural sympathy with the perverted murderers and madmen he speaks of.

When he stands in the perspective of a scrutinist, using this resonance to examine the eucalyptus and find the real culprit, it is more like a black sun hanging high in the sky, chaos from himself to others, and no light shines on all things.

The rain kept falling, the shadow of death loomed over one of Gotham's few pure lands, and the days of Gotham college students were no longer as peaceful as usual, and the shrill sirens and the smell of blood in the air made it feel as if it was being held by a big hand in the abyss, just like the rest of Gotham, pulled into endless darkness.

When I got back to the office, the lights were back on, but now, the shiny light bulbs didn't give me a sense of security.

Because, no one knows when the lights will go out again, and no one knows if there will be another scream and another corpse when the power goes off again.

Not long after returning to the office, Gordon's phone called, and he said, "The girl who was attacked in the storage room was out of danger, and I made an initial inquiry about her, but as expected, the man attacked her from behind, and she didn't see anything." ”

"According to her recollection, the attacker was supposed to be a boy, strong and fast, so the victim could not resist."

After hanging up, Schiller sat down at his desk and pondered for a moment, then he picked up the phone and called Bruce and then Rykes, both of whom were invited to Schiller's office.

At this time, Bruce, who received the call, was dealing with another matter, because the day after Thomas Elliott was imprisoned, Elliott's current head of the house and his wife were killed.

They died in an alley not far from Gotham Cathedral, and the cause of their death was two shots in the chest, one of which hit the heart, killing them instantly.

And the reason why Bruce knew about these things before the police was because that night, Batman was still haunting Gotham City, but someone avoided his eyes and committed murder, and by the time Batman arrived at the scene, only the corpse was left on the ground.

In the face of the tragedy of déjà vu, Batman could not remain indifferent, Thomas and he met when they were children, the two of them were not close friends who talked about everything, but they were also old friends, and Batman felt that he had to find out about this case.

Of course, he had someone to be suspicious of, and that was the godfather Falcone.

Thomas will definitely be very dissatisfied with the murder of Thomas in Gotham University, because he has already said that no one is allowed to commit a crime in Gotham University, but Thomas, as the only son of the Elliott family, deliberately violated this rule, and the Godfather will regard this as a provocation.

On the day Thomas was imprisoned, the Elliott family had a conflict with the Falcone family, and the Elliotts were convinced that their son had been wronged, and they desperately tried to find the Gotham Police Department, but the Gotham Police Department was also under the control of the godfather.

Falcone was annoyed by their uninteresting behavior, and he blocked part of the Elliott family's property in Gotham, and even invited the Elliotts to Falcone Manor to talk, but they were killed on their way to the Northside.

So who else is the most suspicious? Batman felt that starting with Falcone would be the most efficient option.

As a result, Batman began to look up information about the past to learn more about Falcone as a person, so as to find his flaws.

Then, he learned an extremely absurd truth.

Carmen Falcone, the godfather of the gangster who ruled Gotham for decades, has never killed a single person.

He is innocent.
