Chapter 2986: The shade of green trees makes the summer long (Twenty)
Aisha is indeed worthy of being Bruce's daughter. She found the financial reports from a few years ago in just a few hours and found the ones with problems.
In fact, the financial reports of such construction engineering groups will have some problems to a greater or lesser extent. Tax evasion is legal in the United States. Most companies will entrust professional financial teams to reduce their taxes. In addition to legal tax evasion, they can also play tricks on the financial reports that are not so easy to be discovered to reduce some taxes.
So many companies' financial reports will have problems of one kind or another. If you don't look closely, you won't find them. Aisha also found some such small problems in the financial statements of Wardlade Engineering Group, but it was obvious that they were for tax evasion. Only the one sent to Dick was a big problem.
There was no clear source for this payment, but the amount was not small. More importantly, the money was signed by the company's general manager Bob in person, and his signature was still on the financial report.
While the arrested people spent a night in the detention room, Aisha and Helen went to investigate the source of the money overnight.
They came and went, and after the group of people who invaded Williams Real Estate Company were caught, they entered the company again. Aisha used her powerful hacking skills to find the internal accounts of the real estate company.
Like the Wardlade Engineering Group, the accounts of this company are also very complicated. It can be seen that there is no tax evasion, but there was an expenditure of exactly the same amount at almost the same time four years ago, and the critic was Williams himself.
In other words, one day four years ago, Williams' real estate company approved a sum of money, and the Wardlade Engineering Team received a sum of money, with little difference in time and amount.
However, the recipient Wardlade Engineering Team did not add any projects during this time, and this money was not the previous debt, which can be said to be a mess.
After locking the time of this strange payment, Aisha began to follow the clues, and then she found that at almost the same time, the Wardlade Engineering Team had an expenditure for renting an excavator.
In fact, the account details can reveal a lot of things. For example, the fuel expenses can be used to see how many cars the company has, and Aisha has seen from the equipment maintenance and repair expenses that the Wardlade Engineering Team had about four excavators at the time, two large and two small.
But at the same time as the mysterious payment four years ago, Wardlade Engineering Group rented three more excavators, all of which were large excavators. But at the same time, the engineering group did not have any major ongoing projects, so what did he do by renting excavators?
This made Aisha realize that Wardlade Engineering Group might have hidden a project four years ago, and this project was done for Williams' real estate company, so the two of them had financial transactions, and Wardlade Engineering Group would rent large excavators.
Aisha went to find the company that rented the excavator, which was an unknown equipment leasing company. Through their logs, it can be estimated that Wardlade Engineering Group should have rented it for about three days that year.
Three days is too short. Let alone building a residential building, it is not enough time to build a small building.
Following this clue, Aisha guessed that the Wardled Engineering Group was not building anything, but demolishing something.
Because it was obvious that if they were building a house, it was impossible that only excavators would be mobilized.
And the things to be demolished should not be very big, because although it was a large excavator, it was not the kind of giant that was tens of meters high. If it was demolishing a building in Gotham City, this small guy would have no chance at all.
But if it was demolishing residential houses, how big a place would be needed to fit six excavators, four large and two small? If it was demolishing residential houses in pieces, it would not be rented for only three days.
All kinds of unreasonable places made Aisha guess, and she began to look for surveillance videos from four years ago in Bruce's computer.
When Batman first debuted, he actually installed a lot of surveillance cameras in Gotham. Although the damage rate was particularly high, there were still some very hidden ones that recorded valuable historical data.
Before that, Aisha sent a message to Dick, asking them to delay Williams as long as possible to prevent them from noticing anything. Dick immediately understood that the negotiation on the second day would be the key.
Schiller arrived early in the morning and first came to the detention room to see them, but he did not show that he was very angry. He also asked the police to buy them breakfast.
Gordon and Schiller were old friends after all. Before Williams came, he took Schiller to the office next to him and said, "This guy is not good. Are you ready?"
"In fact, no, I don't plan to prepare." Schiller said, "But I have a very perfect plan, and you will know it soon."
Hearing him say this, Gordon felt his heart thumping again. The perfect plan he said had better not be related to artistic creation.
Williams arrived almost on time. As soon as he saw Schiller, he came over with a smile and shook hands with him and said, "I'm so sorry, professor, my attitude was not very good that day. It might be because the weather was too hot. High temperature always makes people very irritable. Please don't mind."
"It doesn't matter." Schiller shook his head. He really didn't mind now, because he did some minor work last night, and he could get out of the quagmire soon.
"As you can see, these reckless little guys made a fatal mistake. Although I want to teach them a lesson, for your sake, I won't really do anything to them, but I hope you Can we ensure that this kind of thing never happens again..."
"What do you want me to do?" Schiller asked the crucial question.
This guy was obviously coming for him. He first appeared near his territory to provoke him, and then he used the reckless young man's faults to negotiate terms with him.
If nothing unexpected happened, even if these people did not go to Williams' real estate company in the middle of the night to investigate, he would definitely find ways to stimulate them and make them break the law, so as to accumulate negotiation capital for himself.
But most importantly, what is he doing these things for? Schiller didn't think he had anything to worry about for this kind of real estate boss. The role of psychology in doing business was really very limited. It would be more useful for him to go to Gordon than to go to Schiller.
"It's like this. I have a friend. His son has committed some crimes, but he doesn't want him to be shot or put in jail. He used to be on the street. You know, if his son goes to jail, he may not be able to do anything. Come out alive."
Williams pointed his fingers together, and the flesh on his face continued to rise and fall as he spoke. Then he clasped his palms together again, and continued: "We hope to obtain favorable conditions for him during the trial, preferably It can be determined that he was not in his right mind when he took action."
"So that's it," Schiller said.
He acted very calmly, and his calmness seemed to surprise Williams. Williams asked tentatively: "He killed someone, don't you think it's a bit..."
"This kind of thing used to happen when Gotham was overrun with gangs." Schiller shook his head and said, "Many people came to see me."
"and you……"
"Mr. Williams, you may not understand the profession of psychology, and neither do most people. This leads me to have to educate everyone about my research direction - psychoanalysis."
"Out of a responsible attitude, I must explain to you that the direction of psychoanalysis is not the mainstream direction of psychology at present. Now the public more recognizes behavioral analysis. Psychoanalysis is usually regarded as outdated, superstitious, and unreliable. of."
"The most important reason for this situation is that psychoanalysis is immediate and immediate. It is an analysis based on contact with current people, rather than judging them based on their past behaviors. , closer to inspiration than logic.”
"To put it in layman's terms, I need to get in touch with the person now in order to analyze his current mental state, but I can't get in touch with him at the time of the murder, which was him in the past."
"Even without mentioning this professional knowledge, the jury members will not accept the testimony of a psychoanalyst about whether the murderer's behavior was normal at the time of the crime, because this is judged to be a kind of pseudoscience."
"If you have a way to make the jury members look at my research direction, then I will be happy to help you, but in fact, several of my court appearances ended in failure or inaction."
"If you want to try again, I can help you, but I can't give you any guarantees, and the courts won't accept it, and I can't change their view."
Williams showed a disappointed look, but soon he added: "Then take a step back, can you find a way to diagnose him as a mental patient? That is, let him not go to jail, but go to a mental hospital."
"That's fine." Schiller paused, then looked into Williams' eyes and said, "I don't know if you listened carefully to what I just said."
"If you don't mind, you can explain a little bit more." Williams turned his palms and said, he obviously didn't listen just now.
"Psychoanalysis is closer to inspiration than logic. To put it bluntly, it's more like mind reading. You'd better make sure your friend's son isn't keeping any very important secrets."
The atmosphere in the room cooled down, and anyone could understand what Schiller meant. If psychoanalysis is a method that can figure out or roughly guess the cause of the other person's mental state just by contact, then this so-called friend's It would be best for my son to only kill one person.
Williams was silent for a while and then said, "Why are you telling me this?"
His question was also reasonable. If Schiller had not said anything and just issued a diagnosis, no one might know it. He also completed the task perfectly.
"Because there were some idiots who wanted to kill the donkey, but unfortunately I learned their secrets. I'm not sure if you want to do the same, so it's best to speak clearly to avoid more trouble. ”
Williams showed a hesitant expression, which obviously meant that he needed to bet on whether the so-called psychoanalysis method was really that magical.
But in fact, he knew that he had no other choice. Schiller had already emphasized that psychoanalysis is not the mainstream in academia, but Schiller still became a world-renowned psychologist, which means that he must have his own uniqueness. , maybe he can really achieve the same effect as mind reading?
