Schiller returned to the room. He did not touch the window sill with his hands, but just signaled Gordon with his eyes. Gordon walked forward, glanced at the window sill and said: "The sanitary conditions of Wayne Hospital are good, but this is just a room.
In an ordinary ward, the window sill is a bit too clean, right?"
Schiller nodded, and Gordon walked a little closer. He also stretched out his head to look down, and found that the awning downstairs had a frame. Although the frame was made of wood, the wood was nailed into the wall.
Obviously, the awning has been completed during the construction of the building. The quality of any Wayne Group building is very high, so even though it is just an awning, it can still bear the weight of an adult male.
Gordon recalled the process he had just witnessed, and then said as if he suddenly understood: "I know why there is no wound on the arm. Dr. Richard's arm was holding the handle of the window at that time, and he had not taken it back and used it as a dagger.
When it was inserted into his heart, it wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but he simply didn't have time."
Schiller nodded and said, "Detective, you can look at his wounds again, especially the edges of the wounds. You should find something different."
Hearing this, Gordon immediately walked to the body, half-knelt down, put on gloves, carefully checked the wound, frowned and said: "The edge of the upper part of the wound seems to be a little different, but I don't know much about it.
Proficient in forensic science..."
"You don't have to be proficient in forensic science. Have you noticed that the cut on the edge of the upper half is deeper than the lower half? What do you think is why?"
While Gordon was still thinking, Bruce spoke.
"In order to prevent too much blood from dripping on the window sill, the murderer did not pull out the murder weapon when the deceased was facing the window. Instead, he pulled out the murder weapon only after turning the deceased around."
"But at that time, the murderer was standing outside the window, and the body had slipped under the window sill. The murderer had to put his upper body into the room, put his hand over the body's shoulder, and then pull out the murder weapon."
"When the murder weapon was pulled out, the force was exerted above and behind the body instead of directly in front, so the upper edge of the wound would be injured more deeply."
Gordon shook his head and said, "How on earth did you deduce so much content in such a short period of time?"
Schiller did not come in, but stood outside the window, glanced down at the window sill, and then said: "Next, we can talk about the murderer's personality."
"You've also deduced the murderer's personality?!" Gordon asked in a raised voice.
"After his series of actions, I think you should have been able to tell that this was a deliberate murder. The murderer had been prepared for it and had probably rehearsed it countless times."
"In this case, he did not pull out the murder weapon immediately and turned the body over quickly enough. The blood may not have dripped on the window sill, but he still wiped the window sill inside and out."
Schiller gently touched the window frame outside the stairs with his hand, looked at Bruce and said, "If the patient hadn't come back quickly, you would have had a free window cleaner."
Gordon touched the side of his cheek and said, "What does this mean? He has mysophobia?"
"It shows that he is not confident enough." Schiller shook his head and said: "It also shows that he is actually a novice, and it is even very likely that it is his first time to commit a crime."
"Why?" Gordon asked. His thinking was actually fast enough, so he was able to figure out this case that actually contained some tricks in such a short period of time.
But now Gordon is not very good at understanding the psychology of criminals, because most of the cases in Gotham are gang fights or vendettas, and there is no need to understand the ever-changing psychology.
"Detective Gordon, are the theoretical knowledge you learned at the police academy applicable in reality?" Schiller asked.
Gordon thought for a moment and then said: "There is still a lot of application in criminal investigation, but it is almost completely inapplicable in civil mediation. We can only adapt to local conditions."
"So, when you left the police academy, did you realize the difference between theory and reality?" Schiller asked again.
"At that time, I was relatively naive and thought that since my grades were good, my practice should be good too." Gordon thought for a while and said, "However, I did have doubts, but this is actually common sense, right? Ordinary people know it.
, theory cannot be 100% the same as reality.”
"This is precisely the contradiction of this murderer." Schiller tapped the window frame with the side of his finger and said: "Killing is itself a violation of morality and law, and creating such a scene is deceptive.
A deliberate murder case, from investigation, to making a plan, to starting practice, will definitely go through a longer process than a murder case of passion."
Gordon nodded, feeling that Schiller was right. Killing with passion is nothing more than a temporary impulse. When driven by anger, it is difficult to think of law and morality.
But this kind of deliberate crime may take several months to get started. As long as the murderer has the slightest struggle, he will not be able to persist for so long and put this plan into practice.
In ordinary premeditated murder cases, the murderer will try to cover up the truth in order to escape responsibility, but to achieve such a chain of links without making any mistakes, obviously requires practice.
"This is not practicing recitation or dancing. Every time he corrects his movements, the murderer will think that he is killing someone. It is impossible for any normal person to endure such great moral pressure." Schiller concluded.
Gordon's face became more and more serious, and he had to admit that Schiller was right.
In fact, he could tell that Schiller's flipping action just now was not very skillful, and one of his hands used too much force. If there was a knife inserted into Bruce's chest, blood might have splashed on the window.
Framed.
There is no trace of blood in the gap between the window frames on the side, which means that the murderer did this action very perfectly, and this undoubtedly requires practice, and every time he practices, wouldn't he think of the person he was holding in his arms?
will be a corpse?
Not to mention moral values, anyone with a bit of humanity will feel repelled, disgusted and afraid of this. This is human instinct, but the murderer still resolutely practiced this action to perfection.
"A terrible person who is so cold and heartless." Gordon sighed, and Schiller immediately took over his words and said: "Or, we call them 'natural born killers'."
When Schiller uttered the last few words, Bruce glanced at him, but said nothing, and Schiller continued.
"The biggest characteristic of this group of people is that they are cold-blooded. They do not feel sad for the loss of life. They enjoy hurting and controlling others, and are addicted to the pleasure of depriving their own kind of life."
"In the process of practicing a certain link in preparation for a murder, not only will they not feel guilty or afraid, but on the contrary, the thought of depriving others of their lives will provide them with a lot of pleasure."
Gordon shuddered, as if he couldn't accept that there were still such human beings in this world.
Suddenly, Schiller changed the topic and said: "And I said that he is not confident. That's right. He has practiced it so many times, but he still doesn't believe that his perfect movements will not leave any spots on the windowsill.
trace."
"Generally speaking, the biggest basis for us to judge the degree of perversion of a natural-born killer is his arrogance. The more arrogant and narcissistic he is, the more he is obsessed with his own evil behavior, which no one can understand.
The more arrogant and confident he is, the more difficult he will be to deal with."
"I understand." Gordon thought for a while and said, "That's why some serial murderers like to return to the scene and watch the police being deceived by them, because they are confident that they will not be discovered."
Schiller shook his head and said: "All the murderers who returned to the scene were not confident."
Gordon's eyes widened. Schiller's view was contrary to the current mainstream view. The criminal investigation community still believes that the murderer of the serial murder case returned to the scene to tease the police.
"They will return to the scene. In fact, they are not confident enough in their own modus operandi. They only need to make sure that they have not left any additional clues. They are like students who check the answers after an exam because they are worried about their scores."
"In other words, as long as they do this, it proves that their methods are flawed. Just like all top academics will not correct the answers even if they know they are right. Those who don't know what is right or wrong are unsure.
.”
Gordon squinted at Schiller. He seemed a little confused as to why the professor described such a brutal murder as a daily exam. Although the metaphor was very appropriate, the understatement was creepy.
Schiller showed a smile that was a little cold and neurotic. Whenever he showed this smile, even Bruce would not meet his eyes.
Schiller gently touched the window sill with the tip of his index finger and said: "This murderer is like a bad student who is not confident in his answer and has made up dozens of extra steps to make up for it with quantity.
"
There was a trace of disgust on Schiller's face, and he continued: "Only mediocrity would want to use the exhaustive method to commit crimes."
Then, Schiller calmed down his expression, looked at Gordon, and said, "Fortunately, he is the kind of unconfident murderer, so as long as you squat here, you should still be able to see him."
Gordon was about to walk out immediately, but Bruce stopped him. He said: "You can't set up defenses outside the ward door, otherwise, everyone will know that the police are here. You first lead people to pretend to survey the environment in the hospital, and I will be responsible for keeping an eye on it."
Stay here."
"You don't want to install a monitor, do you?" Schiller asked Bruce for the first time today. Bruce shook his head and said, "No matter how bold the murderer is, he will never step into this room again."
, I am going to deploy defenses on this entire floor."
"He may be bolder than you think." Schiller suddenly sneered, and then said: "I forgot to mention that there is another kind of student who, although not confident in his answers, is very confident about his ranking.
I am confident and doubt that I will not do well in the exam, but I am even more doubtful that everyone will not do well in this exam because of the difficult questions."
"So..." Bruce slowly narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the window. Bruce rushed to the window, Schiller turned sideways, and Bruce heard that a commotion broke out downstairs.
As Gordon and Bruce rushed out the door, they heard Schiller whisper:
"Perhaps he is not coming back, but is not leaving at all?"
Just when Schiller returned to the ward, he heard the head nurse screaming from the ward downstairs.
"Harley! Little Harley!! What's wrong with you?! Why is there so much blood on you?!!!"
Look at the details, look at the details, friends!
Don't give me the chance to call you little idiots!
