After parting with Copot, Schiller began to think on the way back to his office.
Starting from the motive, who wants to have trouble with the gangster family?
First of all, exclude the police. After Gordon became the police chief some time ago, he and the gangs have a community of interests to some extent. The transformation of the gangs and their arrival will also be good for Gotham's public security situation.
Besides, other police chiefs may have accidents, but Gordon is known as Gotham's last conscience, and he is unlikely to use such despicable means as poisoning.
In the past, the city government was also an enemy of the gangs. Although the gangs often bribed officials in order to obtain protection, power disputes in the political arena may also affect the gangs.
But Gotham's current city government structure is very stable. Roy has no opponents, and the gang also recognizes his transformation ideas. The two parties have been at peace with each other for so long. Even if there is a conflict, Roy will definitely be more inclined to communicate rather than directly take action.
, so the city government also ruled it out.
Businessmen and entrepreneurs also have motives for committing crimes. The gang's domineering style has offended many people, but now the entrepreneurs with the most say in Gotham City are the Wayne family. Even if Bruce can kill people now, there is no need for him to do so.
Gang member.
Now is a period of development, and the major forces in Gotham have finally reached an agreement. Even if Wayne Group is short of money, he will not be so short-sighted that he will mess up the situation again. This will not be good for anyone.
So could Falcone do it himself? This is the most likely, but if the death of the heir to the Farnus family will weaken the next generation of the Farnus family, then what about old Mrs. Spencer?
what happened?
The old Mr. and Mrs. Spencer had stopped taking care of things a few years ago, and the family business had long been handed over to their son. Moreover, the old Mrs. Spencer was a mortal person, and she would not be able to live for long even if she did not take action. Then
Why add such an accident?
After analyzing the motives, Schiller found that there were still no very useful clues, and then he began to think about methods. Who has the ability to kill these two people?
The range of answers to this question is too large, and everyone who has come into contact with them is suspected.
Thinking of this, Schiller paused and turned a corner. Instead of continuing to walk to the office, he went to the library instead. He needed to look up some information, especially medical information related to acute poisoning and the urinary system.
Not every psychiatrist needs to learn medical and surgical knowledge. If Schiller has any shortcomings in medicine, his knowledge of internal medicine is indeed not as deep as that of surgery and psychiatry.
In daily life, poisoning patients are not uncommon. The most common one is food poisoning. Even so, the risk of poisoning is still very high. Then there are snakes. Some snake venoms require corresponding serum to prescribe the right medicine.
Symptoms of generalized edema usually come from urinary system problems, to be precise, kidney problems. Urinary system manifestations are also common in poisoning patients. Usually, toxins cause kidney problems, causing the body's water to be unable to be discharged smoothly, resulting in edema.
These manifestations all have quite professional pathological analysis, but Schiller discovered the problem after just reading a few articles.
To put it simply, if it is artificially poisoned, then drugs that can cause kidney problems are not the best choice. First, the small amount is not fatal enough, and second, the poison takes a long time, leaving a lot of room for rescue and treatment.
If the urinary system manifestations are only incidental, then there must be more and more conspicuous symptoms that appear before this. Colbert emphasized that except for general edema, the patient has no other symptoms, so we can only wait for the forensic report.
.
However, it can be logically inferred from this that the murderer clearly had a better option but did not use it. Instead, he resorted to such a cumbersome and risky method, which must have been his intention.
This inversely means that the other party is unlikely to kill for profit, because if it is a struggle for profit and the murderer is hired to kill, the killer will only kill based on his existing experience. Even if it is poison, it will be highly lethal and potentially curable.
Low poison.
There is no need for killers who are paid to create a unique method of killing. Those who usually do this are serial killers who have their own special purposes.
Is the swelling of the whole body the key? Schiller thought, did the murderer use this poison to kill the victims to give their corpses this effect? Or to make them experience a special kind of pain?
Schiller instantly listed many possibilities in his mind, and he believed that the correct answer must be included among them, but now he had to go to the multimedia classroom to receive the autopsy report sent by Cobot via email.
In front of the computer, Schiller clicked on the email and briefly browsed the autopsy report of little Farnas, and then looked at the photos. The most unexpected thing among them was the photo.
The corpse in the photo cannot be seen to be that of a young man at all. His whole body was completely swollen into the shape of a giant, and even his facial features could not be clearly seen. If you can't imagine it, it can be compared to the Michelin Tire Man, but it is better than that.
Much more disgusting and terrifying.
Schiller didn't find the corpse disgusting, he just found it a bit strange. Certain motivational inferences in his mind were gradually eliminated, while others were highlighted.
Schiller first looked at the condition of the corpse from an ordinary person's perspective and found that he couldn't feel anything except disgust and horror. Then he looked at it from his own perspective and saw a ridiculous obsession.
People have a tendency to laugh at large, bloated and clumsy things. The corpse is in a similar state. Does the murderer want the audience to laugh at the victim?
The murderers of serial murders generally have two ideas: to make the victim experience what he has experienced, and to make the victim experience what humans cannot experience.
The former is like revenge, and the latter is like sublimation. The former focuses on showing the world his past, and the latter is the murderer who wants the audience to see the future he wants.
In many cases, the victim's posture implies the murderer's ridicule. The murderer's process of killing them and all the processing of their bodies are all to humiliate them, and this time it is the same.
The murderer is publicly humiliating his victims to the world, making them look bloated and ridiculous in a way that they would never have shown in life.
This proves that the murderer was most likely taunted in this way, and most likely by the two victims.
In an instant, the answer was highlighted in Schiller's mind.
He immediately turned towards the phone and dialed Cobot's phone number. Before Cobot could speak, he spoke quickly.
"I read the autopsy report you gave me. I know who the murderer is. I'm going to find the unpopular fat man among the twelve families."
Schiller quickly hung up the phone without further explanation, and when he returned to the office, neither Anna nor Victor had left.
Schiller now had time to ask Victor about the specific situation of the student, so he walked to Victor's desk and asked: "How is your student? Is he okay?"
"Fortunately, he survived." Victor took a deep breath and said: "You don't know how thrilling it was. He fell in the laboratory. Fortunately, two female students in the next laboratory found him. They
He quickly called me and the infirmary."
"But within just ten minutes, his whole body was as swollen as a tire. We rushed him to Wayne Hospital. The doctor said that if we arrived one minute later, his kidneys would have completely failed."
Schiller's movement to reach for the pen suddenly stopped. He frowned, looked at Victor and said, "What did you say? That student's body is swollen?"
"Yes, it's very scary." Victor fiddled with the pen in his hand and said, "It's not like I haven't seen horrific crime scenes, but according to the two girls, Oskar was like a balloon that was blown up.
, it expanded in just a few minutes..."
Schiller immediately turned around and walked to the phone desk. Victor looked at him with some confusion and asked: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Schiller made a silent gesture to him, dialed the phone and said to the other party: "Wait a minute, Cobot, my answer just now may be wrong. Have you already taken action?"
"What? You've caught the murderer? But... tell me where you are now, and I'll go there. Yes, don't touch the murderer for the time being, and let me see him."
Schiller walked behind Victor's seat, patted his shoulder with his hand and said, "Drive me there, I need to think about something."
Victor said nothing, picked up the car keys and followed Schiller. The two of them arrived in front of Victor's car, opened the door and got in.
"What's going on?" Victor asked as he started the car.
Schiller briefly talked about what happened and his thoughts, and then said: "The whole process of the murder is like a complex and sophisticated machine. Motive, method and result are all indispensable, and all elements are interrelated.
There’s a very subtle interaction.”
"If one of the links changes, it means that all subsequent inferences may be wrong."
"The state of the victims' bodies after death proves that the murderer wanted to humiliate them, and this humiliation is targeted."
"Making them swollen means that the murderer wants the world to see their bloated side, and wants them to be laughed at because of their ugly image of a big belly. This means that the murderer is likely to have been laughed at by them, and he wants them to
Feel the same feeling."
"The two previous victims were both members of the Twelve Families, and the old Mrs. Spencer is already on the bedside. The people she can come into contact with are very limited. It is almost certain that they are all members of the Twelve Families."
"There are not many members with abnormal body shapes in the Twelve Families. Just gather them together and interrogate them one by one. The murderer is not the kind of serial killer with very artistic pursuits. The motive for killing is more of revenge. It is very likely that he will be killed just by anger.
If you take action, you will definitely feel regret and fear afterwards, and the secret will be exposed if you ask a little bit, Cobot must understand this truth."
"But why did you change your mind again?"
"Because your student also had the same problem, and he is still alive." Schiller tapped his hand on the door handle of the car.
"What does this prove? That he is actually worse than you think, and that there are still fish that slipped through the net?"
"The murderer's motive is nothing new, but his method is very clever. Even Mrs. Spencer, who never leaves the bedroom where the Spencer family resides, was not able to escape. Little Farnus also had no shortage of people to protect him, but he still fell into the trap.
Do you think your students will get away with it?”
"Then why..."
"A serial killer motivated by revenge will not kill people randomly. He attacked your students, which proves that your students may have ridiculed him. Then he can kill even important figures in the gang, but what happened to an ordinary student?"
Surprisingly, there must be something hidden in this, so I wanted to take a look."
The car stopped, and Schiller opened the door and stepped out of the car and said: "What's more, being able to prepare a drug that makes people swell up into tires is also considered a plastic talent in chemical medicine. I have to find a student for Jonathan."
Let him be quiet."
The two of them walked into Cobot's manor together. Cobot was sitting on the sofa, with two big and thick gangsters in front of him holding down a fat man.
Schiller stepped forward, and Cobot shook hands with him and then pointed at the fat man.
Schiller paused for a moment when his eyes fell on the fat man, and then he asked.
"Are you sure it's him? He has never killed anyone before."
