For example, in Central City, the crime rate is indeed not high, and the public security situation ranks among the best in the United States. However, the prerequisite is that missing cases cannot be counted, or that missing persons cannot be easily classified as deaths due to crime, otherwise the crime rate will rise suddenly.
.
Immigration communities are hardest hit by disappearances, just like the community where Schiller and Constantine are now. The police force here is sparse and no one pays attention. Most people live in rented houses, there is a large population flow, and many are engaged in crime.
If someone moves to another place, no one will be surprised if someone in a certain house suddenly disappears.
This is a natural hunting ground for serial killers.
Not everyone has the ability to satisfy their perverted tendencies while enduring police raids. Most people can only do one of these things well, so naturally there are many serial killers who are unwilling to deal with the police.
Come to a city like this.
In other words, I was forced to come to this kind of city by those colleagues who were talented in both virtue and art.
After all, there are many people in this world who can compete wits and courage with Batman while completing artistic creations. If you can't steal the limelight from such people, of course you will have to retreat to third-tier cities to make a living.
Schiller walked around the community twice before targeting a house. The residents of this house should have killed many people, but they were not the kind of killers who only killed people to satisfy their spiritual desires. They seemed to be doing something.
Blood or organ business.
Schiller was not very willing to kill an organ dealer, but it was still a bit difficult to find an artist in a city like this. He could only see if this guy could give him a little surprise.
Schiller did not climb over the wall. There was a sewer opening at the base of the wall where he was standing. It could be seen from the rusty and worn parts that the railings above the sewer opening were often opened.
And there is some human tissue left on the edge, not a lot, but very fresh. Someone dumps something here probably every two days, it should be minced meat.
Judging from the deterioration of these tissues, today should be the day that person came to dump the garbage.
He is very daring, probably because there are really no decent superheroes in this city. The Flash is not as comprehensive as Superman, nor is he careful enough. He runs so fast that it is almost impossible to pay attention to the sewer mouth at the end of a remote community.
If there is any tissue attached to it, there is no need to dump the body far away.
Schiller waited for a while, until the sun set a little in the west and the temperature began to drop. Finally, a man carrying a bucket came around the corner.
He was knocked down without seeing anything clearly, and then he was knocked unconscious. Schiller helped him pour the contents of the bucket into the sewer, and found the house key on him. As expected, he was like this
residents of a house.
Schiller dragged the person into the house, but he knew that if the person died in his house, no one would notice it until there was a huge smell of decay. Even if the temperature is quite high now, it would take a few days.
, Schiller couldn't wait that long.
He walked around the house, and as expected there was a basement. The key to the basement was also hanging on the keychain. Schiller opened the door without any effort.
But this man did give Schiller a surprise. He was not actually an organ dealer, but an organ collector.
This man may have some medical background and a fascination with human internal organs, so he opened an internal organ museum underground in his home. Except for the work area, the entire basement is filled with dense shelves filled with organs soaked in solution. A rough estimate
There must be hundreds of people.
Schiller looked at the label and saw that this man had been doing this for almost 30 years. Because he was not picky about food and had no special preferences, he simply killed people randomly, so he had never been discovered.
Schiller went to the work area to take a look. The method of dumping the body was quite simple. The useful parts were left and the useless parts were broken. The difficult parts such as hair and bones were dissolved with chemicals and poured into the sewer.
Just inside.
That is to say, the level of law enforcement in Central City is not high, and it has not been discovered for so many years. But in fact, for ordinary people with low abilities, this relatively simple method of dumping corpses is the lowest risk, and the flashy method is too easy to miss.
.
Schiller thought about it and felt that a case involving hundreds of people should be enough to attract the attention of the Central City police. Once the Central City police find out, they may not be able to handle the situation themselves, and they will inevitably turn to The Flash to lure him out.
.
It seems that this person cannot be killed. Not only cannot he be killed, but he must also make some noise so that the police can discover this case.
Schiele tied up the man and returned to the house where Constantine had caught the thief. It seemed that he had solved the problem and got his wallet back.
Seeing Schiller coming over, Constantine shook the wallet in his hand and said, "It's done, I beat him up."
"Follow me," Schiller said.
When the two of them returned to the house and saw the tied man again, Constantine was still a little confused, because although the guy looked strong, he was nothing special. He was just an ordinary middle-aged American.
.
It wasn't until Constantine saw the spectacular scene in the basement that he took a new look at this man. In terms of perversion, it's really you Americans who are the perverts.
Schiller briefly explained his plan, and Constantine thought it was okay. Of course, how to make this man make some noise would naturally depend on magic.
Constantine went up and set up a magic circle. When he untied the rope, the man rushed out like a zombie.
Not long after, piercing sirens sounded at the edge of the community, and the curtains of most windows were opened a small gap. Many people wanted to know what happened.
Two police cars parked in front of the man's house. The police broke in and stayed there for about ten minutes before escaping out of the house at high speed.
Obviously they called for backup. There were not just two police cars in the second batch. It seemed that the entire Central City police force came to this community, and all kinds of professionals stepped out of the police cars.
What surprised Constantine and Schiller was that the police did not need to turn to The Flash for help. Barry Allen was actually a part of the police system.
He didn't look like a police officer, but like the kind of technician who maintains crime scenes. Schiller took a closer look and found that he should be an operator of the physical evidence analysis department.
But unfortunately, he was relatively young and didn't seem to have much field experience. He was always being pushed around to run errands, and later he was even reduced to holding a cordon.
But just because he was far away from the center of the whirlpool, Constantine found an opportunity and called him over.
At this time, Barry also knew Constantine, so he was willing to come with him, but he did not know Schiller. When he saw that Constantine had brought a stranger, he immediately became wary.
Fortunately, Schiller didn't have any fancy clothes and looked like a scholar rather than a super criminal. After some hesitation, Barry stayed.
They went to the nearby coffee shop to drink coffee - this is very common in the American police community. Most of the time, one or two core members are busy, while the others drink coffee and eat donuts leaning on the police car.
Because Barry was not a core member, he only heard about the case, but did not know the seriousness. When he heard that Constantine had something important to tell him, he left the scene of the crime with peace of mind.
Constantine told Barry the whole story in the simplest terms. Of course, this sounded a bit too incredible. After all, it was still at least a month before the vampire incident broke out.
"What you mean is that I will be bitten by a vampire in the future and become a mole in the Justice League. Others are not sure they can deal with me, so you want me to deal with myself?"
"Listen, I know this is a bit ridiculous, but you have to believe me, you should know the special nature of the Speed Force, and now the Justice League may be in your shadow."
Barry hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I am willing to help, but what can I do, go and fight him in the Speed Force? Or should I avoid being bitten?"
"I'm afraid it's inevitable that you will be bitten." Schiller said: "Vampires should have been targeting you for a long time. Unless you can hide in the Speed Force forever, you will be transformed one day."
"Then is there any way to change back?" The Flash said: "I don't want to become a blood-drinking monster, and I don't want to hurt other people in the Justice League."
"Then find a way to stop yourself." Schiller said: "As long as you can hold him back, we can solve the vampire. Once we find a way to reverse the transformation, you can change back."
Barry was obviously worried, but he finally nodded. He looked at Schiller and said, "I know this may be a bit too much, but I want to see the process of being bitten."
"You want to go to the future?"
"Yeah, maybe we can stop it?"
Schiller also knew that once the Flash at this point in time knew that he would be transformed into a vampire in the future, the Flash would definitely want to travel through time to prevent the tragedy, and he would not give up if he was not allowed to try.
But both Constantine and Schiller agreed that there is a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to guard against thieves. If a vampire is determined to transform the Flash, if he stops it once, there may be a second or third time.
, no one can spend time with them there forever.
But Schiller did not persuade from this perspective. He just said: "Vampires need a mole in the Justice League. If they find they can't bite you, who do you think they will bite?"
Barry was stunned immediately, then he shook his head and said, "Well, it's me. If they really bite Batman and Superman, I can't imagine what kind of disaster it would be."
"Barry, I have to tell you another bad news." Schiller said: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I suspect that Green Lantern is in bad condition."
Barry suddenly stood up and said, "What do you mean?! You mean that the future me attacked Hal?!"
"Who in the Justice League will you help first?"
"...Maybe Hal."
"Who will you attack first, evil one?"
Barry was already sitting on pins and needles. He started pacing in front of the table and said, "Don't waste time. Where can I find that monster? I can't let him hurt Hal... What should I do?"
"If nothing else, he should be guarding you as a child now, because we gave him the illusion that we would attack you as an infant."
Schiller gave Barry a specific plan. He said: "You find him along the Speed Force, and then try your best to hold him down. If you still have some strength left, you can search for it in the Speed Force. I guess Hal may have already
Kidnapped by him."
Barry nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Hal!"
