With a "bang", Thomas threw down the suitcase. He hurried over and opened the door completely.
When Lex walked over, he saw a beautiful girl lying in a pool of blood, her chest was stabbed, and she was no longer breathing.
She was wearing a cheerleading outfit, with delicate makeup on her face. There were various cosmetics for touch-ups scattered in the handbag, all of which were soaked in blood.
Not far from the body, a javelin stained with blood was thrown aside. Judging from the wound, the javelin should be the murder weapon.
"Call the police!" Lex took two steps back, his face looked a little pale, and he said, "How could someone die here? And..."
Lex looked up and saw the door number, which said 404, which meant that this was the dormitory next to him, and on the first day he came here, someone died here. Lex turned his head and showed a trace of disgust.
He didn't seem to want to take another look at the crime scene.
Thomas took his expression as fear, so he stood up, took two steps back, and stood in front of Lex. He said: "You are a foreigner, so you don't understand. There is no use calling the police here. The police don't care about anything."
No."
"She should be a member of the cheerleading team, how could she die here? Isn't this the boys' dormitory?" Thomas said to himself in confusion.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the top of the stairs. Thomas immediately turned around cautiously, and Lex also turned to look at the place where the sound came from.
The man walking up is Bruce Wayne.
He squinted his eyes and kept a straight face. Before Thomas could speak, he said, "Who is it? What's the noise about? What time is it now? Are you going to let anyone sleep?!"
He closed his eyes and sighed, as if he hadn't woken up. Thomas hurriedly walked up and came to the stairs. The light became brighter. Only then did Bruce see Thomas' face clearly. He said, "Oh, Thomas is you."
Ah, I thought one of the freshmen was having a party here."
Thomas turned back, waved to Lex and said, "Let me introduce, this is the famous Bruce Wayne, who is also your senior."
"Are you Wayne?" Lex asked as he walked out of the darkness. The moment Bruce saw him, his expression remained unchanged, but he raised his head and said, "Yes, I am Wayne, and you are in the first grade.
A new student, was it you who caused the commotion just now?"
"I'm warning you, you'd better learn some rules and don't hold parties during my break, otherwise, I will make you look good!"
Lex stepped forward, held out a hand and said, "Hello, I'm Lex, Lex Luthor."
Bruce looked into his eyes, but did not hold his hand. Instead, he said: "Luthor? Are you from the Luther family? I almost forgot about you. What are you doing in Gotham? Go back to your hometown.
Everyone will go!”
"I never knew that Wayne actually considered himself a local gangster in Gotham, and you didn't choose a better city. Does this make you proud?" Lex shot back.
"Wait a minute! Stop arguing!" Thomas hurriedly walked between the two people, separated them, and then turned to look at the crime scene. He said: "A murder just happened here. Whoever you are, go and call the teacher.
!”…
After saying that, he glanced at Lex and saw his neatly styled red hair and well-maintained hands that seemed to have never touched housework. His expression changed slightly, but then
He said, "Lex is a new student, so he probably doesn't know any teachers. Bruce, go ahead."
"No, the teacher at the freshman registration desk was very kind. Let me go find him." Lex said.
But just when Lex was about to leave, Bruce stretched out a hand to stop him, and pushed him on the shoulder, almost pushing him to the ground. Bruce said: "Stay here, watch you
So if you take two steps and take three breaths, it would be more suitable for you to go home and cry with your parents."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Thomas helped Lex and said, "Don't mind, he has a bit of a temper sometimes, you just get used to it."
Lex tilted his head and said, "Thank you. If you hadn't been the first one I met, I would have thought that all the people in Gotham would be so unfriendly."
"Ah, that's not all. At least the students in this school are okay. By the way, it seems that your health is a little bad. Forgive me for being offended, you..."
"I have some hereditary diseases, so my physical strength is very poor, and my father didn't let me go out before, so I didn't have much opportunity to exercise." Lex said, leaning against the wall of the corridor.
"Then why did you leave Metropolis this time? As far as I know, Metropolis University is much better than Gotham University."
"Two months ago, my father passed away. His former lovers frequently came to visit me, which annoyed me. I couldn't bear to be questioned by his business partners, so I simply hid here.
Already."
Thomas showed a look of realization, then made a sad expression and said: "My condolences."
Lex shook his head, but his expression told Thomas that he probably wasn't on good terms with his father either.
But Thomas, who was born into a prominent family, also knows that there is rarely a pure family relationship in such a large family. Lex's parents are both dead, but this also means that he has inherited all the property of the Luther family, just like Bruce.
Same as Wayne.
Thinking of this, Thomas's expression changed again, but soon, rapid footsteps sounded from the stairs, and several girls ran up. The leader was very beautiful, and wore the same cheerleading uniform as the dead girl, and even
He also held the cheerleading balls.
Seeing the face of the deceased, the girl wailed, then hurriedly ran over, knelt beside the body and said: "Doris! How could this happen?!"
"Christine, do you know her?" Thomas asked.
"Of course! She is Doris, a member of the Gotham University cheerleading team, and we have just finished the rehearsal and haven't even had time to change clothes..."
"Did you rehearse so early?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, because we have a performance later, just half an hour later. Logically speaking, we are already waiting backstage." Christine's beautiful face was full of sadness, and she began to cry continuously.
Then he said: "Doris is the lead dancer of the second group. Her group members couldn't find her, so they came to me. I thought she had overslept..."...
"But, I called her home, but no one answered. Her parents told me that she didn't come home all night. At that time, I knew that maybe... but I didn't expect how she could..."
Christine pursed her lips and covered her face with her hands. After squatting on the ground for a while, she stood up, then looked at Thomas and asked: "What on earth is going on? How could she die in the boys' dormitory?"
?”
"I don't know. I originally wanted to go back to my dormitory to get the key. My dormitory is on the third floor, but on the way I met this first-year freshman Lex. He couldn't move his suitcase, and the dormitory was on the third floor.
It was on the 4th floor, so I helped him move it up."
"But as soon as the two of us went upstairs, we saw this young lady lying here. When we saw her, she was already..." Thomas shook his head.
Several members of the cheerleading team behind Christine began to cry. It can be seen from the signs on their bodies that they are all members of the second group, and Doris must be very popular. They cried.
Very sad,
Christine gritted her teeth and said: "Who dares to commit murder at Gotham University? Doesn't he want to die? Not even the Twelve Families dare..."
Thomas sighed and said, "I think it may not be the gangs who did it. This place is always a pure land. The godfather restrains the twelve families and their subordinates. Gangs cannot attack the students here. As long as they don't go out, they should be safe."
"Speaking of which, since you know her, you know about her love life... It may be a bit offensive to say this, but in college, conflicts between lovers can easily lead to serious consequences."
"Doris has a boyfriend." A girl behind Christine said suddenly, and Thomas immediately asked: "Who is it? Which department is he from?"
"No, he is not from Gotham University. He works at the Central Research Institute of Metropolis. It seems that he has graduated two or three years ago."
Thomas looked at Lex, who shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never been to the Central Research Institute."
"If possible, please call me and see if you can find Doris' boyfriend. At least you should ask him to come over and see his girlfriend." Thomas said sadly.
Lex showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but in the end he said, "Okay, I'll make a call."
At this moment, a few more steady footsteps sounded, and Silena and Bruce walked up. Seeing this tragic scene, Anna took a step back, covered her nose, and said: "Doris from the Department of Chemistry
?Poor child, how could..."
After Schiller took one look at the crime scene, he took a step back, tapped the ground with the tip of his cane, and said, "Everyone, come here, stand in a row against the wall, and put down everything in your hands."
"Professor!" Christine stepped forward and said, "The cheerleading dance group will have a performance later, and we are almost too late..."
"Performance is more important or life is more important?" After Schiller asked, Christine pursed her lips and stopped talking. Intimidated by Schiller's reputation, several students did as he asked. Only one of them was still on the phone at the end of the corridor.
Lex didn't come.
After a while, Gordon hurriedly ran up, and the police officers behind him quickly rushed into the corridor and began to mark the crime scene, set up a cordon, and take photos to collect evidence...
The flash lights kept coming on, and the light of the police car downstairs flashed. Several students who were present were taken away by the police, walked down the stairs one by one, got into the police car, and returned to the police station to record statements.
Thomas, Christine and several members of the cheerleading team behind them were all taken away, but just when the police were about to take away the remaining Lex and Bruce in the same way, Schiller stopped them
.
Gordon winked at his subordinates, and they quickly left along the stairwell.
In the dimly lit corridor, there was only a cold glow near the window. Schiller, Gordon, Bruce and Lex were standing there.
Schiller leaned on the window sill, looked at Bruce and Lex and said, "Okay, everyone who has nothing to do with it is gone. Let's talk about your opinions."
"The identity, motives and methods of the murderer... Let's talk about the identity first. Who is the murderer?"
