Chapter 1264: A Pair of Solitary Shadows (Part 4)

"This is..."

Gordon, standing in the corridor, looked at the man walking behind Batman with a slightly changing look in his eyes.

This scholar-like man was very tall, almost the same height as Batman, but much thinner than Batman. He did not look strong and sturdy, but gentle and elegant. The suit he wore was very fitting, and the fabric reflected an expensive luster even under the dim light.

In the social judgment system based on the gold standard, objects that represent wealth always give people extra elegance and calmness. Gordon saw at a glance that this was a scholar with taste and old-fashioned style.

What surprised Gordon even more was that Schiller did not have any fear or anger, which was not normal.

Batman seemed to be omnipotent, but Gordon knew that he would occasionally ask for help from professionals. After all, there are so many disciplines in the world, and so many scholars who are proficient in niche disciplines. Anyone with a little IQ will understand that professional matters should be left to professionals.

But when Batman went to consult these people, his attitude and methods were often not so gentle. Those who followed Batman rarely maintained a decent posture.

But it was precisely because of this abnormality that Gordon's mind was as fast as lightning. He immediately understood that Batman did it on purpose. 脄

Batman did not use any violent means to treat the man behind him, and let him appear in front of Gordon in an extremely elegant and calm manner. The fundamental purpose was to warn Gordon that he was useful and difficult to deal with.

After understanding this information, Gordon inevitably looked at Schiller with the eyes of a criminal. In less than a second, he came to a conclusion that Batman's eyes were sharp and his judgment was as accurate as ever.

At the same time, Gordon was also surprised by Batman's boldness. He found another brutal serial killer to deal with those daring murderers.

In a few seconds, Gordon sorted out all his thoughts, so he walked to Schiller with a steady and powerful step, shook his hand and said, "Hello, what's your name?"

"Schiller Rodriguez, now a professor at the FBI's trainee agent training school, specializing in psychology."

Gordon immediately increased the strength of his hand, shook Schiller's hand up and down, and said, "I've heard of your great name, Professor Schiller."

When Schiller announced his identity, Batman didn't even look away, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and it was very obvious that Schiller's mood became better. 脄

So, he took the initiative to say, "I heard that several brutal murders occurred in this city just a few days ago. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Come on, this way." Gordon walked in front to lead the way for Schiller, while keeping a distance from him to ensure that Schiller could hear him, and the steady footsteps and words sounded at the same time.

"God bless you, you are here at a bad time. The murder case is hanging over the heads of the citizens. Everyone feels that something uncontrollable is happening, but you also know that the FBI doesn't come here often. People have doubts about the ability and purpose of those agents..."

"Don't worry, Director Gordon. I came here only because of an accident. Anything that happened here is not within my scope of responsibility, and no one will pay extra attention to this place because of me."

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them quickly came to the underground. Gordon stood in front of the door of the cold storage and said, "There is still a body that has not come. "Of course, but I also need to ask, you guys shouldn't mind, right?" "You mean, your next comment on the body might be a little shocking, or your comment on the murderer might be shocking?" 脄

Batman used an affirmative sentence again, Schiller stared at his eyes for at least ten seconds, then retracted his gaze and said, "You expected it all."

"We have no shortage of shocking detectives here." Gordon said with a smile, glancing at Batman at the same time. He made a joke that the three of them understood, and everyone understood his point.

So, in a relatively harmonious atmosphere, the door of the cold storage was pushed open. This was a very ordinary morgue. Except for the low temperature, it had no special features, and the next body to be pulled out was the same.

Gordon and another police officer worked together to put the bodies on the middle inspection table, and Schiller immediately came over.

Batman turned around and saw Schiller's gaze as if it was real when he stared at the corpse. The concentration in those gray eyes had completely exceeded the scope of normal gaze. It was more like a connection.

Not connected to the corpse, but connected to the murderer, connected to the process of death. He was reading death and trying to understand death.

Batman was very sure that this was not reasoning by observation, because he had done so in the past, so he understood that no detective would just stare at the eyes of the corpse, especially when two obvious sharp wounds appeared on the chest of the corpse.

When Schiller's concentration reached its peak, Gordon and Batman both felt a cold and gloomy temperament emanating from him, like a pine tree in a snowy night, with pale and tough hardwood inside.

Schiller stared at the face of the corpse without saying anything, until Gordon felt a chill on his back, Schiller retracted his gaze, and in an instant, the dark temperament disappeared, and the elegant and gentle style covered something terrifying.

Batman found that he could not take his eyes off Schiller's face at all, he was attracted by something, not Schiller's appearance, but this carefully covered human skin, and what was under the human skin.

"Erim Trek was originally one of the mayoral candidates and was considered a relatively prestigious candidate. He invested in three banks in Gotham and also founded a charity for street children. He has a good reputation."

"Just last night, he was found dead in his home. A sharp weapon cut open his chest and pierced his lungs. He died on the spot and was in great pain."

"He hates him." Schiller attracted the attention of the other two as soon as he opened his mouth. He continued, "Of course he would be in pain. The murderer could have killed him with just one knife, but he chose not to do so. Instead, he seriously injured him first, watched him struggle to death, and then killed him with one knife. The purpose was to torture him. There must be personal hatred in the murder."

"We can see this too." Gordon nodded and said, "The previous bodies also had more than one wound, but all the wounds appeared at the same time. The victims died quickly without struggling." 脄

"Now we suspect that there is more than one killer." Batman said.

"Will you give such a test question to everyone who comes here?" Schiller turned his head and looked into Batman's eyes for the first time. The invisible stance brought by the conflict between the two instantly caused a dark storm to spread in the room.

"You are the first person to come here, but you don't appreciate it at all." Batman stared at Schiller and said in a low and gentle tone.

The next second, the storm disappeared without a trace. Schiller first moved his eyes away and put his eyes back on the corpse. His eyelids moved upwards, and he looked like he squinted his eyes. This was not a very friendly expression, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth were even more confusing.

"You have already seen that although the deaths of several victims are similar, they are definitely not caused by one person. You know that this may be a premeditated assassination by an organization. Their target is very clear, that is, an important figure in Gotham City."

"You asked me to come here, not to hear these things, so let's skip the stage of greetings and how can we use the psychology of this organization or some people in the organization to catch them by the tail?"

Gordon's pupils shrank suddenly, and he slightly raised the eyelid of one eye, which looked like the corner of his eye was twitching, but in fact he gave Batman a wink, which roughly meant "Are you sure he really has a way?" and "If he really has a way to deal with this organization, how are you going to deal with him?" "脄

Batman did not respond, he was just listening to Schiller very attentively.

Schiller tapped the edge of the inspection table with the side of his finger, and then said: "This is what they revealed."

"Generally speaking, a certain organization's regular killing must be for some purpose, usually profit, or I would simply say, for profit, and it cannot be a personal vendetta. "

"Because the difference between mass murders and serial murders is that the former has a large number of murderers and victims, while the latter only has a large number of victims."

"Once there are a large number of murderers, hiding them becomes a big problem, which requires countless manpower and material resources. If it is not for greater interests, no one will set up such an organization."

"Before this body appeared, the people they murdered were all profit-oriented. Killing the victims in the fastest and most straightforward way was their creed, but this victim was special. I think this is why he appeared in front of me."

Schiller looked up at Batman, as if he felt a little surprised, for Batman's long silence and his gaze. 脄

"The murderer tortured him uncharacteristically, which means that the murderer is not completely profit-oriented. He has a personal grudge with the victim, so I said "he hates him" at the first time. This is the answer to the question, and it has nothing to do with whether you ask questions or not."

"So, we should start with Erem's interpersonal relationships? "Gordon asked.

"Now that the test of level is over, shouldn't you ask me the real question?" Schiller looked at Batman and said.

"You are very self-aware." Batman's voice was very low, like the wind passing through the valley.

"I live for this."

Schiller's answer was as brisk as floating on the water, with a kind of pleasure that others could not fathom.

"I don't quite understand it either." Jason put one hand on his face and said a little puzzled: "This professor doesn't look like someone who would accept such arbitrary and reckless evaluations from others, or in other words, directly evaluating others is itself a kind of disrespect."

"This is totally insulting, right??" Clark said with wide eyes, "'You are very self-aware', no matter how you interpret it, it is insulting, right?! Otherwise, it is just a contemptuous and sarcastic tone, and there is no way it can have any extended meaning!"

Sickness, who was sitting on the other side, looked at Bruce's slightly frowned brows, and leaned his head back on the chair, and then said:

"The key is 'aggression'."

"If you show aggression, even if you are discussing what to eat tomorrow morning, it will sound like you want to make others breakfast, and if you don't show aggression, it can also be understood as a compliment if you are sarcastic like this."

Bruce unconsciously turned his head in the direction of Sickness, and when he met Sickness's barren eyes, his whole body stiffened.

"So, do you want to know what I'm going to eat tomorrow morning?"

Instantly, Bruce felt his hair stand on end, but the next second, Sickness returned to his smiling appearance.脄

A hint of coldness crept up the morbid tone, piercing Bruce's eardrum like a knife, rumbling thunder in his head.

"The trick to giving yourself and others dignity is to be able to control your aggression freely when facing different people in different environments."

"Only trapped beasts will show their teeth all the time. Even if you are a wolf in human skin, you must be calm, self-controlled, maintain your dignity and elegance, and maintain meticulous beauty."

"In this way, when you bite off someone's neck, you can see the shocked and terrified expression on their face... That is the most delicious meat you should pursue among all parts of the human body."
