Chapter 1145 Professor (VIII)

Schiller returned to the room. He did not touch the windowsill with his hands, but just signaled Gordon with his eyes. Gordon walked forward, glanced at the windowsill and said, "The sanitary conditions of Wayne Hospital are good, but this is just an ordinary ward. The windowsill is a bit too clean, right?"

Schiller nodded, and Gordon walked a little closer. He also stretched 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 was built during the construction of the building. The quality of any building of the Wayne Group is very good, so even if it is just an awning, it can bear the weight of an adult male.

Gordon recalled what he had just seen, and then he said as if he had suddenly realized something: "I know why there is no wound on his arm. Dr. Richard's arm was holding the window handle at the time, and he hadn't retracted it. When the dagger was inserted into his heart, he didn't want to resist, but he didn't have time to do it."

Schiller nodded and said, "Detective, you can take another look at his wound, especially the edge of the wound, you should find something different."

Hearing this, Gordon immediately walked to the side of the body, half-knelt down, put on gloves, carefully examined the wound, frowned and said, "The edge of the upper part of the wound seems to be a little different, but I'm not very proficient in forensic medicine..."

"You don't have to be proficient in forensic medicine. Have you noticed that the cut on the edge of the upper part is deeper than the lower part? Guess why?"

While Gordon was still thinking, Bruce spoke up.

"In order to prevent too much blood from dripping onto the windowsill, the murderer did not pull out the murder weapon when the deceased was facing the window, but pulled out the murder weapon after turning the deceased over."

"But at that time, the murderer was standing outside the window, and the body had already slipped under the windowsill. The murderer had to lean his upper body into the room and put his hand over the shoulders of the body before he could pull out the murder weapon."

"When pulling out the murder weapon, the force was applied above and behind the body, not in front, so the upper edge of the wound was more seriously injured."

Gordon shook his head and said, "How did you deduce so much in such a short time?"

Schiller did not come in, but stood outside the window, looked down at the windowsill, and then said, "Next, we can talk about the murderer's personality."

"You also deduced the murderer's personality?!!" Gordon asked in a raised voice.

"After his series of actions, I think you should have seen that this was a premeditated murder. The murderer was well prepared and may have practiced it countless times."

"In that case, he did not pull out the murder weapon immediately and turned the body over quickly, so the blood may not have dripped on the windowsill, but he still wiped the windowsill inside and out."

Schiller gently touched the window frame outside the stairs with his hand, looked at Bruce and said, "If the patient had not returned quickly, you would have a free window cleaner."

Gordon touched the side of his cheek and said, "What does this mean? Does he have mysophobia?"

"It means that he is not confident enough." Schiller shook his head and said, "It also means that he is actually a novice, and it is even very likely that this is his first crime."

"Why?" Gordon asked. His thinking is actually fast enough, so he can figure out this case, which actually involves some skills, in such a short time.

But 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 complicated psychology to understand.

"Detective Gordon, are the theoretical knowledge you learned in the police academy applicable in reality?" Schiller asked. "

Gordon thought about it for a while, and then said: "There are still many applicable aspects of criminal investigation, but in civil mediation, it is almost completely inapplicable, and you 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 still relatively naive, thinking that since I had good grades, I should be good in practice." Gordon thought for a while and said: "However, I did doubt it, but this is actually common sense, right? Ordinary people know that theory cannot be 100% the same as reality."

"This is exactly the contradiction of this murderer. "Schiller tapped the window frame with the side of his finger and said, "Murder itself is a violation of morality and law, and creating such a deliberate murder with deception, from investigation to planning to practice, will definitely go through a longer process than passion killing."

Gordon nodded, thinking that what Schiller said made sense. Passion killing is nothing more than a momentary impulse. When driven by anger, it is difficult to think about law and morality.

But this kind of deliberate crime may take several months to scout the location. If the murderer has a little struggle, he will not be able to persist for so long and put this plan into practice.

In ordinary deliberate murder cases, the murderer will also try to cover up the truth in order to escape the crime, but to achieve such a chain without any mistakes, it is obvious that practice is required.

"This is not practicing recitation or dancing. Every time the murderer corrects his movements, he will think that he is killing people. No normal person can bear such great moral pressure." Schiller concluded.

Gordon's face became more and more serious. He had to admit that Schiller was right.

In fact, he could see that Schiller's flipping action just now was not very skillful, and one hand was too strong. If there was really a knife in Bruce's chest, the blood might have splashed on the window frame.

The gap in the side window frame did not have any trace of blood, which meant that the murderer did this action very perfectly, and this undoubtedly required practice. And every time he practiced, didn't he think that he would be holding a corpse in his arms?

Let alone moral values, anyone with a little humanity would feel repulsive, disgusted and afraid of this. This is human instinct, but the murderer still resolutely practiced this action to perfection.

"Such a cold, ruthless and terrible person." 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 cold-bloodedness. They will not feel sad for the disappearance of life. They enjoy hurting and controlling others and indulge in the pleasure of wantonly depriving their own kind of life."

"In the process of practicing a certain link in preparation for a murder case, they will not feel guilty or afraid. On the contrary, the fantasy of depriving others of their lives will provide them with a lot of pleasure."

Gordon shuddered, as if he couldn't accept that there are still such people in this world.

Suddenly, Schiller changed the subject and said, "I said he was not confident, that's why he practiced so many times, but he still didn't believe that his perfect movements would leave any marks on the windowsill."

"Generally speaking, the biggest basis for us to judge the degree of perversion of a natural killer is his arrogance. The more arrogant and narcissistic he is, the more arrogant and confident he is about his evil behavior that no one can understand, the more difficult he is to deal with."

"I understand." Gordon thought for a while and said, "So, some serial killers like to return to the scene and watch the police being fooled by them, because they are confident that they will not be discovered."

Schiller shook his head and said, "All killers who return to the scene are not confident."

Gordon widened his eyes. Schiller's view is contrary to the current mainstream view. Now the criminal investigation community still believes that serial killers return to the scene to tease the police.

"They will return to the scene because they are not confident in their methods. As long as they make sure that they have not left any extra clues, it is like a student who checks the answers after an exam because he is worried about his score."

"In other words, as long as they do this, it proves that their methods are flawed, just like all the top students will not check the answers even though they know they are right. Those who don't know right from wrong are unsure."

Gordon looked at Schiller with his eyes slanted. He seemed to be a little confused as to why the professor described such a brutal murder as a daily exam. Although the metaphor was very appropriate, the understated tone was creepy.

Schiller smiled with a little indifference and neurosis. Whenever he smiled like this, even Bruce would not meet his eyes.

Schiller touched the windowsill with the tip of his index finger and said, "This murderer is like a bad student who is not confident in his answer and tries to make up for it by adding dozens of steps."

Schiller showed a trace of disgust on his face, and then said, "Only mediocre people would want to use exhaustive methods to commit crimes."

Then, Schiller restrained his expression, looked at Gordon, and said, "Fortunately, he is the kind of unconfident murderer, so as long as you squat here, you should be able to see him again."

Gordon was about to go out, 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 should take people to pretend to be Survey the environment in the hospital, I'll be in charge of watching here."

"You don't want to install surveillance cameras, do you?" Schiller asked Bruce directly for the first time today. Bruce was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "No matter how bold the murderer is, he can't step into this room again. I'm going to set up defenses on this entire floor."

"He may be bolder than you think." Schiller suddenly sneered, and then said: "I forgot to say that there is another type of student who is not confident in his answers, but is very confident in his ranking. He doubts that he will not do well in the exam, but he doubts that the questions in this exam are difficult and everyone will not do well. "

"So..." Bruce narrowed his eyes slowly.

Just then, there was a noisy sound outside the window. Bruce rushed to the window, Schiller turned sideways, and Bruce heard that a riot broke out downstairs.

When Gordon and Bruce rushed out the door, they heard Schiller whispered:

"Maybe, he's not coming back, but he didn't leave at all?"

Just when Schiller returned to the ward, he heard the head nurse screaming in the ward downstairs.

"Harley! Little Harley!! What happened to you?! Why is there so much blood on you?!!!"
