Chapter 3027: The Green Trees Are Thick and the Summer Is Long (35)
Chapter 3001: Long Summer Days under Thick Green Trees (Thirty-Five)
In the serial killer club, not even one person dares to confront the state machine head-on. Even though the American state machine is not running very well, and the law enforcement parts are not tightly integrated, with many loopholes to exploit, most people choose to avoid talking about this issue. In fact, it is just a tacit understanding that everyone knows that they are no match at all, so let's not talk about those sad topics.
Although both locals and foreigners have the tradition of insulting the FBI, it is the same as insulting France. The other four treat France as a joke, which does not mean that other small countries can do the same. If anyone really thinks so hard, they will understand that France still has its power.
No matter how weak the FBI is, it is not something that a single serial killer can deal with. The main reason why they have not been caught is that the US law enforcement agencies are only responsible for maintaining social stability. If the matter is not too big, they will not take it seriously.
But once it really gets big, let alone in the United States, even if you fly abroad, it is easy to be shot eight times and commit suicide.
At least most of the serial killers that Schiller knew were as low-key as possible, and their occupations were as ordinary as possible. They might even be plumbers, garbage truck drivers, supermarket cashiers, or students. Even rich people and homeless people were considered to be particularly unusual occupations, because this group of people had too many opportunities to deal with law enforcement officers.
Because of this, after the economic downturn, the contact in the group gradually weakened, because everyone was busy making money. The Joker had to go home to buy vegetables and cook after beating Batman. The same was true for serial killers. They had to support themselves, buy tools to commit crimes, and destroy the excess parts of the body. There was no place that did not cost money.
For the behavior of Williams and his group, Schiller could only comment that the ignorant were fearless. They actually just had more money than those serial killers, but they acted as if they could rule the whole world.
And looking at all the clues that were discovered, Schiller felt that this group of people was simply the opposite of the heaven.
Some people might say that serial killers are also very high-profile and often display corpses in various places. Isn’t this very arrogant?
As we all know, in addition to the method, the motive is also important for murder. Many random murders are difficult to solve because the other party has no motive. They suddenly appear in front of a person and kill him, and then throw the body in another place.
This means that the police cannot find out who the murderer is through the social relationship of the victim, because the murderer and the victim have no relatives or friends, and even have no intersection before killing him. It is useless to know how he killed people.
Humans are really fragile. They can be killed in any way. In summary, there are only a few ways to die. No matter how beautiful the body is, there is no extraordinary cause of death. It is difficult to track down the murderer if it does not match the motive.
So serial killers choose to show their methods and hide their motives as much as possible. They spend a lot of time selecting targets and try their best to avoid contact with the targets during the selection process, so it takes so long to complete the case.
But Williams is not like this.
Ten years ago, the elementary and middle schools in the Porokin community were suddenly closed. It was said that the business was not good, but in fact the reason was very suspicious. There were not many people in this community. When the school was built, it should have been considered that there would not be many students.
No investigation was conducted before opening the school. After opening for several years, they just remembered that it was not profitable and decided to close it. Is this something a normal businessman would do?
Moreover, if you close the school, then just close it. At most, you will just lay off teachers and students. The building has offended you. Wouldn’t it be better to just change it into an activity building for the high school department? The money invested in the construction of hardware has been wasted, right?
The most outrageous thing is that they decided to demolish it, but they didn’t demolish it cleanly. Later, they had to rework it. They reworked it, but they almost got discovered. They didn’t do it in a more covert way, but rented an excavator from an excavator rental company.
The above-mentioned things were full of loopholes, which led to some insiders. Since they decided to kill the witnesses quietly, they still built a crematorium to burn the bodies.
There was a crematorium to eliminate the traces, but they still had to build an air-raid shelter to secretly hide the evidence.
They had already decided to hide the evidence for their own viewing, but they kidnapped Schiller and three other living people.
They had decided to keep these people in the mountains forever. When the incident happened, they actually moved Schiller back to the crematorium. They had taken the outsiders to the crematorium, but they had not yet thrown away the ashes of the people who had been silenced.
How should I put it? If these decisions were made by Williams, then Schiller would really suggest that he go to the psychiatric department.
These behaviors were very disjointed, as if the left brain and the right brain had punched each other, turning the entire skull into a paste.
You say he wanted to get satisfaction by showing his works like a normal serial killer, and he stuffed those bones left and right, not daring to show half of them in front of people.
But if you say he wanted to hide for the sake of caution, the things he did were bigger and bigger. All the serial killers Schiller knew together might not have caused such a large project as pushing down a school, building a crematorium, and transforming an air-raid shelter.
You say he was reckless, and you can see that he really racked his brains to hide himself. You say he was cowardly, and he wanted to smear the inconsistency of his behavior on others' faces.
Schiller speculated that this series of stupid things should not be Williams's idea alone. Although this guy is not very smart in crime, he is still doing well in business.
He is promoting schools, building crematoriums, and renovating air-raid shelters. He is not in urgent need of funds. He can also take out a sum of money to hire security guards in this era when everyone is very tight on money. Moreover, it seems that he has hired more than one batch, but changes a batch every few months. This shows that he cannot be a stupid person.
Schiller speculated that this inconsistency is likely because their team itself has different ideas.
It can be seen that some people just want to secretly satisfy their own little hobbies, so they keep collecting items. Some people may want to build an industrial chain, so they built a crematorium and want to deal with waste in large quantities. Some people may be too afraid of being discovered and want to destroy all evidence, so they demolished elementary and middle schools with great fanfare.
After getting the urns, Schiller used sealed bags to keep samples. Those who have survived to this day are easier to deal with, and their identities can be easily matched by genetic comparison.
What made Schiller feel a little hesitant now was how to deal with Williams. He decided to call Gordon.
After the call was connected, Gordon's voice was very noisy. It was obvious that he was in the police station. Gordon's voice seemed to have taken a lot of effort to break away from the noisy noise.
"What's wrong? Schiller, I was just about to call you, and you called me."
"Why did you call me?"
"There are many situations, but the most important one is that the pisiform bone you gave me has found its owner. It belongs to a little boy named Buffa. He suddenly disappeared on a rainy night about ten years ago."
"His mother is a physical education teacher. She broke her leg while looking for him, and her spirit was stimulated to abnormality. His father was originally an engineer with a good income, but he quit his job and worked odd jobs while looking for his son."
"But they searched the entire community, the entire Gotham, and even half of the East Coast, but they couldn't find their son. Little Buffa just disappeared out of thin air until... until we found His bones."
Just as Gordon said this, a huge noise covered his voice. Schiller heard a woman's voice saying: "He is very smart. When he was four years old, he could build a very large castle with building blocks and make up a series of stories. The kindergarten teacher said that he would definitely be a writer in the future..."
"He likes to pester me to tell him stories. His eyes shine under the desk lamp. He will use his little hands to open the new picture book because he thinks it can help me relieve stress..."
The woman spoke very quickly. Schiller only heard a rough outline. It seemed that there were many people on Gordon's side who were constantly comforting her, but the wailing at the end made Schiller understand that this woman accepted the fact that her son was dead.
Schiller took Andre back to the room where Williams was locked up as quickly as possible. Williams was still asleep. He said to Andre, "Since you are from the Lawrence family, you should know Gordon. Send these samples to the Gotham Police Department and say that I asked you to send them. He won't make things difficult for you."
Andre said nothing, nodded and left. Schiller looked at a black man behind him and said, "Now go to the finance office of the crematorium first. Take as much cash as you can. Don't leave them a penny, and then you can divide it equally."
The black man said nothing and turned away. Schiller said to one of the remaining two people, "Go to the utility room and find a rope or something else that can be used to tie it up."
Finally, he said to the remaining person, "Go drive the car."
No one asked why or how to do it. These people are all veterans in the world of outlaws. It doesn't matter how to get into the finance office. With a wire, you have everything. It doesn't matter whether you have a car or not. Just take a stone.
Soon, Schiller got the rope. He took off Williams's shirt and stuffed it into his mouth as a cloth. He tied him up tightly and then lifted him from the back door to the trunk of the car.
Schiller did not go there himself, but gave the driver an address and asked them to transport Williams there. The money they got from the finance office was not much, but it was enough for this trip.
Because of the existence of the forest, the Borokin community was not very hot. In addition, it was late at night and the evening breeze was blowing, so it was very comfortable to walk on the road.
Schiller walked to the center of the community. It was a residential area. Because the population was relatively small, the houses of each family were large and far apart. At this time, only one house was lit.
Schiller entered the house.
Only the parents of the boy Buffa, the owner of the pea bone, would turn on the lights after receiving Gordon's notice in the middle of the night. Because they were too anxious, they had no time to turn off the lights. This should be their home.
Schiller guessed correctly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a photo of a family of three. It seemed to be taken in their backyard. The three of them were smiling brightly on the dark green lawn.
The mother had red hair and a ponytail tied in front of her. The father had wheat-colored skin. The brown-haired boy was holding a box of new building blocks, and there was a missing front tooth in his grinning mouth.
Everyone has an unforgettable summer. It must be a long summer with bright sunshine and thick green trees.
Schiller remembered that in that summer, he saw the nurse who had been recuperating for half a year due to an injury come back, carrying a lunch box in a wrinkled plastic bag, standing under the shade of the largest tree in the yard, and waved to him.
