Chapter 2983 The green trees are dense and the summer is long (seventeen)
Pamela used the roots of forest plants to carefully dig through the ruins of the junior high school and elementary school that Schiller mentioned, and finally found more things - other body parts of the man.
Because several years had passed, other tissues would definitely not be found, but Pamela found most of the bones and brought these things back to her home.
Schiller came to Pamela's house for the first time. Pamela was supposed to hold a housewarming party after she moved, but it happened to coincide with the Great Depression. She was already struggling with the mortgage loan, so of course she was not in the mood.
There was a party, and the others were considerate of her and did not bring it up.
Fortunately, the unexpected windfall allowed Pamela to pay off her mortgage, and she was already planning her own housewarming party.
Pamela bought a small house in an ordinary community in the South District. It was not a villa, but a very ordinary American-style small house with two floors, with a front yard and a backyard. The decoration style was modern, and Pamela used a lot of plants.
The decoration seems to have a somewhat naturalistic charm.
Of course, although it is just an ordinary house, because it is in a wealthy area with relatively good security, the price is not cheap. Coupled with various decoration adjustments, it cost Pamela more than 200,000 US dollars. This is a millennium
More than 200,000 dollars before and after, it is already very expensive.
But this only shows the value of the $5 million given to her by Greed. Even after paying off the mortgage in full, most of it is still left.
In the backyard of the house, while Pamela and Schiller were piecing together bones, she said: "I have already agreed with Roy that this money is considered an investment from me, plus part of the working capital he can now use.
, it is already possible to carry out preliminary greening transformation of Gotham.”
"What do you think?"
"It is unrealistic to directly transform the current roads, but Wayne Group has very mature roof garden technology, which has been widely used in the buildings in the East District. Now we plan to popularize this technology in the other four districts.
technology."
"Is there enough money?"
"The total cost is close to 10 million U.S. dollars, which is barely enough, but it will make it impossible to carry out the cooling plan. Fortunately, just like the last mosquito incident, as long as we survive these few months, it will naturally cool down.
Next year will be much better.”
Schiller nodded, and then began to focus on the work at hand. The two skilled workers quickly finished piecing together the bones, which was pretty much what Schiller expected. He was an adult male around 30 years old, who had been doing manual labor for a long time, nothing special.
of.
Then only the broken skull was left. After the two men put the fragments of the skull together, they discovered that the place where the impact occurred was not directly on the top of the skull, but on the back of the head.
This verified Schiller's conjecture that the man was not actually killed by something falling from his head.
A piece of trivia is that in many cases, the injuries of people who are killed by falling objects are not directly above or on the back of the head, but rather on the forehead.
Because once humans hear movement above their heads, they instinctively look up. So unless the thing teleports to the top of their heads and directly smashes it down, many people are still looking up.
Being smashed to death.
Therefore, in many TV dramas, it is actually unscientific for those who are killed by flower pots falling from high altitude to lie on the ground. There are many more cases where the bodies of people who were killed by the stone are lying on the ground than lying on the ground.
.
Of course, there are some people who are slow to react and don't react even when things are almost hitting them on the head. There is a chance that these people will be hit to the ground, but it is more likely to be hit directly above the skull. If you want to hit them on the back of the head,
, you must make sure that this person keeps his head down, the probability is too small.
The scars that appear on the back of the head are usually man-made, that is, they were hit from behind.
Schiller and Pamela looked at the marks on the skull and agreed that the man had been murdered.
In fact, blunt weapons are the main force in murder cases in daily life. The back of the human head is very fragile, and a person can be smashed to death with a wine bottle. Therefore, in crimes of passion, many corpses are hit on the back of the head.
Traces of beating.
Some people try to pretend to commit suicide by throwing a dead body that was hit on the back of the head downstairs, but in fact, modern criminal investigation techniques can completely determine the specific shape of the murder weapon that hit the back of the human head, and it is clear whether it was smashed or dropped.
Forensic doctors can even perfectly reconstruct the shape of the murder weapon, the angle of impact, and even the way the murderer exerted force through skull cracks. They can even determine the murderer's height and left and right hands. This method is simply not feasible.
Pamela and Schiller actually did not have such professional technical means, and the corpse was not fresh, with only bone fragments left, and many details and textures could no longer be seen clearly.
Even so, Schiller could see that the man who smashed the worker to death was very powerful, and he only hit him once. After the man fell, he did not hit him again.
This proves the most important thing, that is, the other party does not panic.
Even if they are premeditating a crime, many people are very worried that the victim is not dead, so stabbing them once is not enough. They have to stab the victim into a sieve, and the same is true for hitting the head. They are afraid that the victim will not be killed in one hit and the person will fall down.
Hit it hard a few times.
Once traces of the last hit are found, it proves that this person is not a veteran. On the one hand, he is panicking, and on the other hand, he has no clear judgment on his own strength and the opponent's physical signs. He does not know whether he can kill with one blow. A seasoned killer will not make this mistake.
Such a mistake.
Because again, the more traces left on the body, the easier it is to provide clues to the police. Forensic doctors are not vegetarians. If there are enough wounds, they can deduce the height and handedness by exhaustive methods.
Schiller expressed his thoughts. Pamela pondered for a while and then said: "I think he didn't hit more because he knew that even if he didn't hit the last hit, this person wouldn't survive."
Schiller thought for a while, and it was indeed true. If this was on the street, it might be necessary to hit him a few more times to prevent the other party from coming back to life and calling the police. But the place where this man died was in a deep mountain forest. Even if he was stabbed once,
As long as he loses the ability to move, he will definitely die.
What's more, the murderer finally buried the man in the ruins of the school, suffocating him to death even if he wasn't smashed to death. There was really no need to kill him at that time.
This also shows a very important clue, that is, the other party is not worried at all that the body will be found.
But this is actually not normal. Although the place where the man died was in the woods, there was a high school not far away. Why did he think that no one would approach here?
Where does his confidence come from?
Schiller had already guessed something. He looked at Pamela and said: "Brand performed a spiritual spiritual ritual. Before the man died, the ruins of the two buildings still existed on the ground, but when we went there,
There are basically no traces of the building left.”
"You mean, after this man died, someone cleaned up the ruins of the construction site a second time."
"Yes, two buildings were demolished ten years ago, but a lot of construction waste and foundations were left in place. A few years later, a man died there, and someone else took the construction waste and foundations with them.
Go away and restore the place to look like a forest."
"This man must have discovered something." Pamela looked at the bones on the ground and said, "Otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly returned to the ruins of the school, and no one would have chased him and killed him and then cleaned up the ruins a second time.
.”
"But you didn't find anything there, did you?"
Pamela nodded and said: "The other party is very cautious, otherwise they would not kill this man as soon as he arrives... Professor, if you continue to investigate, they will definitely keep an eye on you."
"Why are you suddenly worried about me?"
Schiller did feel a little strange. Could Pamela still not understand him? What could the other party do to him?
"Professor, you are no longer a superpower." Pamela reminded: "If the other party is really just a serial killer driven by hobbies, he may not be able to cause any harm to you, but if this matter involves interests, then they
I’m afraid I’d dare to use any dirty tricks.”
Schiller stared at Pamela. Pamela looked around, then walked to the tree in the corner of the backyard and waved to Schiller. After Schiller walked over, Pamela shoveled it down. Schiller saw
A complete scapula.
"Do you know who he is?" Pamela looked a little indifferent. Schiller could tell that she didn't need to answer. Sure enough, she asked and answered herself: "He is a plant protectionist and firmly opposes the plant protection in this world."
People like me who can breed and resurrect plants at any time, because I am here, they can’t attack other people’s methods of raising plants, and they can’t do their environmental business.”
"While I was going to the laboratory, he sneaked into my house and wanted to set fire to it. Fortunately, the vines I arranged in the backyard caught him, otherwise my house would not have been saved."
"A few months after the economic crisis started, my house, car, and even my job were all threatened by this group of people. Did I mention that my previous black Ford car spontaneously ignited inexplicably, and I
There is no way."
"Professor, they and you are from two different worlds." Pamela was obviously referring to serial killers and this group of people driven by profit. She said: "Your set of rules can only protect against gentlemen, but not against gentlemen."
With their villains, even if they can't kill you, they will still try their best to cause you to suffer property damage. You can spend a thousand days to be a thief, but you can't spend a thousand days to guard against a thief."
After leaving Pamela's home, Schiller thought about her words carefully, and he felt that what Pamela said made sense.
Gotham used to be relatively pure, and everyone was just crazy. I killed you for personal enjoyment. If I can't enjoy it or my skills are inferior to others, then just accept it.
But it's different now. After the situation in Gotham has improved, it can be said that the door is always open. Isn't the hard work of saving Gotham just to restore the city to normal? People are here to do business, why shouldn't they be allowed in?
?
It was precisely because of this consideration that Schiller did not go to Williams. He was a serious businessman. He acquired land by legal and compliant means and built a resort within the scope of the law. He had a bad temper.
Okay, bad attitude, but it’s not illegal after all, so why don’t you let others build it?
In other words, everyone in Gotham has worked hard for so long, isn’t it just so that Gotham can have a boss like Williams to come and develop it?
However, the normal world of normal people does not mean that it is not sinister. Rather, the struggle for interests in the world of normal people is more complex and dangerous than that of madmen. Interest groups are closely aligned and extreme methods emerge in endlessly.
And apart from interests, they have no other pursuits, which means that they will have no bottom line. Because they are pure, they are powerful.
