Chapter 1172 Professor (35)

Schiller and Bruce were stunned when they heard Roman's words. Then, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Are you two in the same group?... I don't know him well."

But Roman exploded directly, shouting at the top of his lungs: "You ignored my work! Just let those stupid policemen investigate!! You knew everything a long time ago, but you pretended to know nothing and played a trick on me here!! You damn... damn..."

"Wait a minute, I interrupt." Bruce stretched out a hand, looked at Roman and said: "What's wrong with you?"

Before Roman could speak, Bruce said: "Okay, Roman, I know that your father put a lot of pressure on you, but I can help you solve this problem. This is not charity or anything, just a friend. It's just mutual help between friends. If you feel sorry, you can help me in the future. "

"Bruce Wayne! Batman! You idiot!!!" Roman shouted Bruce's name loudly, and the word in the middle of his words made Bruce frown. He said in surprise: "What are you talking about? Roman? Well, with the strength of your family, it's not difficult to know that I am supporting Batman, but this is part of my charity..."

But Roman looked at him gloomily and said: "Are you going to continue pretending? Do you think I don't know that Batman is Bruce Wayne, not you? ! "

Bruce showed a helpless look on his face. Just as he was about to continue to explain, Roman showed a sneer and said: "You two, you should have guessed my identity since the day I committed the crime in the hospital, right?"

"You pretended not to know, just to break me down psychologically!" Roman looked into Batman's eyes, nodded and said, "Gotham's vigilante... well-deserved reputation."

Bruce opened his mouth, licked his lips, looked Roman up and down, and said, "You just said that you did the case in the hospital?"

"That's right!" Roman gritted his teeth and said, "That's the case that you didn't take seriously at all, that's the case that you threw to ordinary policemen!!"

As he spoke, Roman's tone was filled with grief and indignation. He began to pace quickly in the room and said, "I spent a full three months to find the most The perfect goal, the most meticulous planning, and the best results, but you... you didn't even look at it! Do you know how much effort I put into it? Isn't this exciting enough? ! "

He sat down on the sofa in the office, covered his face with his hands, and said in a crying tone: "Not only did you refuse to look at it, you refused to investigate it yourself, and even completely ignored me, and came up with such a vicious way to humiliate me... Very good, you succeeded, okay! ! "

Bruce opened his mouth, and he almost blurted out "So, you are the genius killer who took Schiller as the second target?"

The reason why Bruce didn't say this was because he felt that this was too Schiller.

Bruce still had some questions about the details of the cases. He was about to ask when Schiller said to Roman, "I'm sorry, I won't write recommendation letters for anyone other than my students. If being rich enough could change my decision, the Bruce Wayne in front of you wouldn't have almost failed to graduate."

"What the hell are you doing?!" Roman stood up again. He looked at Schiller in disbelief and shouted, "I'm a serial killer! I'm a perverted murderer!! A man who just brutally killed a doctor!!! Standing in front of you!! You're still talking about recommendation letters?!"

"So, do you want to talk about the fact that you called to harass me?" Schiller looked at Roman and asked.

Roman was stunned for a moment and said, "When did I call to harass you?"

"So, it wasn't you?" Schiller was also a little surprised, but then he shook his head and said, "It seems that we have nothing to talk about."

Bruce also understood what Schiller meant. He walked directly to the door, picked up the phone, and said to the other end: "Hello? Chief Gordon? There is a murderer here, and I need you to come and arrest him... Yes, the murderer of the case in the hospital."

After Gordon came over, Bruce said nothing, but just pointed at Roman casually. After Gordon took Roman away, Bruce looked at Schiller. Schiller made a gesture of invitation, and Bruce touched his chin and began to Analyzed:

"He just emphasized that he chose a perfect target, which means that Dr. Richard must have something special, otherwise he wouldn't emphasize it so much."

"The head nurse's description of Dr. Richard is indeed a bit strange. If what the head nurse said is true, then Dr. Richard doesn't sound like a Gotham native at all. How could Gotham have such a doctor who is both good in character and learning, doesn't take drugs or drink, and goes to the operating table with a clear mind?"

"But what's so special about Dr. Richard..." Just as Bruce was lost in thought, Schiller reminded him in time: "Don't forget, his second target is me, and serial killers like to find common points among their targets when committing crimes."

"Common points..." Bruce pondered for a moment, then said: "Yes, you two are doctors, but what else? Wait..."

Bruce suddenly turned his head and stared at Schiller, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said: "That Richard, is he also a serial killer?"

Before Schiller continued to prompt, Bruce said: "It seems to be true, I understand."

"What do you understand?" Schiller asked.

"I understand...a weakness of serial killers." Bruce walked to the sofa and sat down, smiled, and then said: "Their weakness is that they are not ordinary people."

"Their emotions are inherently weaker than ordinary people, and their behavior patterns are different from ordinary people. Therefore, when they want to hide in the society of ordinary people and pretend to be a part of ordinary people, they always try too hard, don't they?... Professor Schiller."

Bruce pronounced Schiller's name extra heavily, and after looking away, he continued: "In order to prevent others from suspecting that he is a bad person, he naturally has to disguise himself as a good person, but he doesn't know how to be an ordinary good person, so he can only choose to be a perfect person."

"Good moral character, excellent ability He is a good person in their imagination. They think that as long as they pretend to be like this, they can integrate into the society of ordinary people. "

"That's why Dr. Richard has such a good reputation. He is a very typical example of someone who wants to pretend to be an ordinary person to integrate into the society, but tries too hard. "

"However, there is still a doubt. Wasn't the murderer's leg injured by Harley? Why does Roman walk as usual without any inconvenience? "

"... No. "Bruce said, "Roman should have an accomplice. Maybe that day, it was not one person who stayed in the hospital, but two people. After one of them was injured, the other saved him. "

"Yes, that must be the case. "Bruce Ruth stood up from the sofa and paced around the room, saying, "That day, I felt something was a little strange. A person with such a serious leg injury could run so far back to the base, and almost no trace was left. Even if he was rich, he couldn't do it."

"But if he had an accomplice, everything would be explained."

"The two of them worked together to commit the crime. After the crime, they stayed in the hospital together to observe the situation. One of them might have wanted to do something, but ran into Harley and was hit by a shovel."

"He desperately jumped out of the window, and his accomplice saved him, took him to the base, and treated him... But can such an injury really be healed?" Bruce said with some doubts: "These cold-blooded and inhumane guys, don't they... Will you abandon your useless companions?"

"I don't remember if I told you this before." Schiller suddenly said, "Generally speaking, real serial killers will not cooperate."

Bruce thought about it, then nodded and said, "That's true. Could it be that Roman is not a real serial killer? ... No, I feel that kind of cold-blooded temperament in him."

"But there is one exception." Schiller continued, "That is, when they have a common enemy."

"Common enemy? You mean..." Bruce set his eyes on Schiller. He remembered that he had seen the note left in Roman's base before, saying that the serial killers all wanted to kill Schiller.

"You mean, all the serial killers who come here will cooperate?" Bruce's face became a little solemn.

In his heart, if Schiller faced any serial killer, Schiller would definitely not be the unlucky one, but if he faced a group of serial killers who would cooperate, it might not be certain.

"Aren't you going to do something?" Bruce asked, looking at Schiller.

"What?" Schiller leaned on his office chair, not showing any nervousness at all. He picked up the newspaper beside his desk and started reading, while Bruce slowly frowned.

"You are not Schiller." Bruce stared at Schiller and said. Schiller's eyes appeared from above the newspaper and looked at Bruce. Before he could speak, Bruce pointed at the newspaper and said, "When you read the newspaper before, you must have worn gloves because you felt that the ink would dirty your hands."

"Besides, I have seen the serial murders you have concocted. You never get yourself covered in blood because you feel that it is neither elegant nor dirty." Bruce raised his eyebrows and said, "... You have a serious mysophobia."

"You are not Schiller." Bruce repeated again.

"I am." Schiller looked at him and said seriously, but then he smiled and said, "It's just that it may not be the Schiller you know."

"Who are you?"

"I've already said it, I'm Schiller." Schiller stood up from behind his desk, walked to Bruce, folded the newspaper in his hand, then looked up at Bruce and said, "Perhaps, you should know that the Schiller you know is called 'arrogance', and perhaps, you also know that he has another personality trait, called greed."

"So, you are also one of the seven deadly sins?" Bruce asked.

Schiller nodded, but shook his head again, smiled at Bruce and said, "Once, I was lazy... but not now."

Schiller raised his head slightly, looking at the scene outside the window behind Bruce, he slowly said:

"Arrogance becomes stronger when it becomes one, greed gains powerful power, and the first thing they do after becoming stronger is... to realize Schiller's dream."

"Dream?" Bruce repeated the word.

"Yes, now I am the product of their dream realized with the power of improvement." Schiller looked at Bruce with a smile and said, "Now, you can call me-'mediocrity'."

"Or, just call me... ordinary person."
