"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Schiller's eyes fell on Bruce first, and Bruce turned his head. Looking at the pool of blood hidden in the darkness, his thoughts returned to last night.

In the Wayne Manor at night, Bruce was looking up some information in the library. Although he came back from the metropolis, he already knew that his butler was not an ordinary person, but there were still some secrets about the secret agents, the Philby list, and the Soviet Union. There are those old things that he still needs to investigate.

But at this moment, there was a strong noise from upstairs. Bruce closed the book helplessly, covered his forehead, stood up, and went upstairs.

In the room upstairs, Aisha is learning to speak from Dick and Alfred. She has been able to pronounce some different tones of "wah wah wah" and even speak English words with less than two syllables.

But everyone knows that every child is good at trumpeting when learning a language. Loud pronunciation seems to help them build their confidence in the language, so they often shout as loudly as possible.

And they also like to repeat, they seem to be able to find the law of language in the repetition again and again, loudly cooperate with the repetition, Aisha is now a humanoid siren, Bruce even feels that he can use Aisha's cry as a The principle is to develop an alarm device for the Batcave.

Although the Bat Cave is more than half the distance from Wayne Manor, Bruce can definitely hear it if there is a sound from there.

This is different from crying. When Elsa is crying, Bruce and Selena will try their best to coax her. When she is tired from crying, she will naturally go to bed. But learning languages ​​is a serious matter. With Fred's appreciative expression, Bruce knew that there was no room for him to speak here.

Moreover, the language learning class is required for class hours, and it will not stop until a certain amount of time is learned. Obviously, Alfred believes that it is more important for Aisha to learn to speak than for Bruce not to look up information in the library There are many.

Originally, Alfred would not disturb Bruce to do business, but some time ago, Bruce was obsessed with magic and had a lot of bad deeds. He not only followed Constantine, but also found some strange magic books. Alfred was very worried. Bruce would be led astray by this, so he was always looking for ways 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 Elsa's language class to miss this time, which makes Bruce so noisy that he can't do anything at all .

Some people may say that Bruce can go to the Batcave to work, but the problem is that the Batcave is far away from Wayne Manor, and Alfred requires Bruce to go home every day, so the Gotham University library, It 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 bit old, the layout is still good. All the bedrooms in the dormitory are single rooms, and each floor has a public room. lounge.

But because it is an old dormitory building after all, the sound insulation is relatively poor. In fact, when Lux struggled to drag the box from the first floor, Bruce, who lived on the second floor, was already woken up.

Lex and Thomas happened to meet in the stairwell on the second floor. Bruce heard everything they said, so he was not surprised when he saw Lux, and cooperated with him to pretend to be different from each other. know.

"You may not have noticed, the sound of you dragging the box is really loud, the vibration of the box hitting the stairs even spread to my bed." Bruce turned his head to look at Lex and said .

"And it is precisely because of this that I doubt Thomas's head, because the time you drag the box from the first floor to the second floor is just long enough for an ordinary person to come from the fourth floor to the other side of the stairs. On the 1st floor, go through the entire corridor, go up to the 1st floor, and come to the stairwell on the 2nd floor where you are.”

Bruce looked back at the entire corridor, and he said: "Based on Thomas' stride and pace, the error will not exceed 3 seconds. Such a coincidence is not just a coincidence in the murder case."

"I speculate that when your box hit the stairs for the first time and made a noise, I was woken up on the second floor, and Thomas, who had just finished finishing the eucalyptus on the fourth floor, was also startled."

"He realized that there might be new students coming, and he didn't know the exact number, so he hurriedly cleaned up the scene of the discovery, then ran downstairs, and followed the stairs you walked through I caught up with you."

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

"You only explained why Thomas appeared." Rex folded his arms and said, "Estimated from the time, it can't be used as definite evidence, but I knew he killed him shortly after I met him." people."

"He did a very stupid thing, that is, in order to cover up the blood stains on his shirt, he put on a suit jacket. Indeed, it was not obvious from the head-up angle, but when he was carrying luggage When the box walked up the stairs in front of me, I deliberately pretended to be exhausted, and he fell a little behind."

"In this way, there is a difference in height between us, and I can examine the marks on his body more comprehensively. At this time, I found that I can see the gap between the hem of his suit jacket and the shirt. Bloodstains."

"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 himself I was injured, so there was no need to show such an enthusiastic attitude to help me before, after all, we have never met before, we are just strangers."

"I guessed that he was covering up something, but when I came to the 4th floor and saw the scene of the murder, I was sure that he was the murderer."

"Why?" Gordon asked.

Lex walked to the scene of the eucalyptus. He pointed to the body and said: "The victim was pierced through the chest by a javelin, and judging from the wound, the javelin was pierced from top to bottom, that is to say, the murderer must Assault in this posture..."

Speaking, Rex made a gesture of raising the javelin and stabbing downwards, that is, holding both hands empty, with the left hand in front and the right hand behind, forming a straight line, and after raising it above the head, stab downwards forcefully.

Lex went on to say: "Thomas is taller than me, so he doesn't need to lift it so high, but Doris's height is definitely not too short, so Thomas doesn't need to lift the javelin, so he can do it like this." Stab her from top to bottom."

"Therefore, if he wanted to commit crimes in this way, he had to raise his arms. That is to say, if he was only wearing a shirt at the time, there would be blood stains in a place that would not normally be splashed with blood, that is Armpit."

"Before, on the shirt I saw through the slit of the suit jacket behind him, there happened to be blood on the right armpit."

"Wait a minute!" Gordon suddenly said, "You can still see the blood on the shirt through the gap in the suit in the almost dark stairwell?" Gordon lifted his windbreaker and looked Look, it's pitch black, you can't see anything, and he's close enough.

At this time, the entire dormitory building was without power, and the corridor still had some dim light because of the windows, but the staircase part, because of the angle of the windows, had almost no light and was completely dark.

But at this moment, standing at this angle, Gordon saw a gleam of light in Rex's eyes, which did not look like an ordinary human being.

And Schiller also saw this. He remembered that the eyes of Alberto, who had fallen into the wine pool before, also shimmered, which may be caused by the Dionysian factor.

No one knows whether the clown has night vision ability, but anyway, he can fight on par with Batman wearing night vision goggles in the dark night of Gotham.

"Okay, now only the motive is left." Gordon stood next to the corpse, thought for a while, and then said, "What my subordinate reported to me just now is that nothing suspicious was found on the deceased. There are also some ordinary cosmetics in her handbag, which seem to be used for touch-ups before going on stage."

"The Immortal"

"According to Christine, Doris has a boyfriend who works at the Metropolitan Central Research Institute. The two are in a long-distance relationship, but because the distance is not far, they meet every week. There should be no intersection."

At this time, Bruce said: "Thomas also has a girlfriend, or a fiancee, who was arranged for him by his family. He is not interested in baseball or football. He has never been close to the cheerleading troupe. He only knows Christine, the head of the dance troupe, and Christine didn't say just now that Doris and Thomas have any emotional entanglements, so it shouldn't be 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 useful weapon, but in order to get this at Gotham University, you must apply for an equipment room ..."

"Then let's check the application records, don't we know?" Gordon immediately picked up his mobile phone ~IndoMTL.com~ and said to the other end: "It's me, come here again, get a search warrant, We need to obtain evidence..."

Soon, several people came to the office where the physical education teacher was located. The physical education teachers at Gotham University were divided into normal physical education teachers and aerobics coaches with cheerleaders. Coach, she took out a form and said, "...Here, three days ago, Thomas came to apply to borrow a javelin..."

"Can you tell which javelin it is?"

"Yes, all our equipment has numbers."

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

"Application record...equipment number...that's right, it's 5012."

Now, the identity, motive, method, and murder weapon are all in place. It can be said that the evidence is conclusive. Thomas, who was taken to make a record, had no chance to resist. The image of Thomas' imprisonment on the information card is permanently left in the file room of the Gotham Police Department.

This is a murder case with a beginning and an end. The investigation process is very smooth, and the chain of evidence is very clear. It can be said to be a typical murder case.

Even if Bruce and Lux ​​were not required to make inferences, Gordon alone would eventually check the application records in the equipment room. It would take at most one day before the case would come to light.

On the second day after this case ended, the Gotham Police Department received a call from Christine, the head of the cheerleading troupe. She cried and said:

"Detective Gordon! Come on! Come to Gotham University Gym... Another member of the dance troupe has died!
