Chapter 3003: Long Summer Days under Thick Green Trees (Thirty-Seven)

After the hypnosis ended, Pari's mental state improved a lot. At least she was no longer mumbling to herself. She seemed to recognize her husband and kept holding his arm.

"Did you get the clue you wanted?" the man asked.

"I roughly know what's going on, but the deeper reasons need to be investigated. I promise you that I will tell you immediately once there is a result."

"You know who the murderer is, right?"

Schiller did not intend to hide it, so he nodded and said, "It's the principal of the community middle school, but it's been too long and the school has been destroyed. I'm afraid there is not enough evidence..."

"The police can't catch him, right?"

"Yes." So the problem returned to the origin, and Schiller mentioned it again, "You also know that such people have a certain social status. Without sufficient evidence, it is impossible to approve a search warrant, and it is even difficult to start an investigation."

The man's face should have been very depressed, but he was deeply affected by Schiller's previous words. He took a deep breath and said, "The police won't keep an eye on him all the time, which is a good thing, isn't it?"

"Sir, don't do stupid things." Schiller shook his head and said, "I'm not suggesting that you do it yourself. In my opinion, you and your wife don't have such ability. In the end, you will only send yourself to jail."

"But you have such ability, I know, I have seen many people like you before." The man stared at Schiller's eyes and said, "You are That's why I came here, isn't it?"

"I like dealing with smart people like you, sir. I have something to ask of you. If my plan goes smoothly, the murderer will be brought to you."

"Just tell me, I will do my best to help you. Even if I don't succeed, at least we know the truth of it all."

"Do you still remember where the community middle school used to be?"

"Of course, at that time, Pari and I often sent Buffa to school together. We also went there countless times to look for his traces. I will never forget it."

"Drive your car there and teach in the primary school. On the hillside southeast of the school building, you should see a tied man. You have to help me keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't run away or die. "

The man's fingertips trembled, and he said, "Is it the murderer?"

"It has something to do with him. Even if he didn't do it directly, he should have helped the principal hide the evidence. Don't forget, the principal has the right to close the school, but who helped him to raze the school? It must be someone he trusts, right?"

"I understand, they are birds of a feather." The man's arms trembled more violently, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he seemed to have reached his limit of endurance.

Schiller walked up to him, held his shoulder and said, "Calm down, sir. You must not be impulsive when dealing with these monsters. You need to help me keep an eye on him. If possible, ask him what he did on this land four years ago."

"Have they committed a crime here again? But didn't the school ten years ago..."

"Someone was silenced by them. A worker's body was buried under the land of the school, and then the unfinished foundation was demolished again. Now I want to know what the worker found..."

"I will try my best." The man said.

Schiller saw that he had calmed down, and did not make any more instructions. He was a smart man and knew what to do.

Soon, the man left with his wife. They drove the car, and the taillights disappeared into the darkness.

Schiller sat on the sofa in the house and began to sort out the line of Nygma from the beginning.

Ten years ago, Mr. Nygma was the principal of the community middle school in the Polokin community. Pari, who was a physical education teacher, accidentally ran into his conversation with a student. Nygma was worried that his conspiracy would be exposed, so he tried to kill Pari's son and drove her crazy.

At this point, Nygma had no reason to give up the school he ran. After all, the insider had been driven crazy by him, and the school was still under his control, so he could continue.

But he almost fled in a panic, not only giving up his position as the principal, but also trying to close the school, and even demolishing it, which meant that something beyond his control must have happened.

Schiller suspected that it was possible that Edward discovered his secret.

Edward was still young at the time, perhaps still in junior high school, and his middle school was not in the Borrokin community, but the Nygmas and Mr. Nygma were relatives, and they could not have not dealt with each other.

Edward was very smart and had a remarkable keen observation, which was the main reason why he could escape from Batman's pursuit several times as the Riddler. He was an absolute genius.

Perhaps Edward could see through Mr. Nygma's true face without having to deal with him several times, and he might even have followed some clues to trace the Buffa case and hid a small piece of bone in the high school in the Borrokin community.

But at that time he was too young and not careful enough. Mr. Nygma found out that he was investigating the matter and that he might have obtained some evidence, so he panicked.

He was not worried about Edward, but the Nygmas. Edward's family was well-off, which meant that the Nygmas had a certain social influence. If Edward told his parents about this, it would be all over.

Because of this, he quickly closed the school and found the Wardred Engineering Team to completely demolish the school.

But even so, he was still worried, because Edward's family was a time bomb to him, and it could explode at any time, so he finally decided to kill Nygma and his wife.

Yes, Schiller suspected that the death of Edward's parents was related to Mr. Nygma. It is very likely that Mr. Nygma was afraid that his crime would be exposed, so he had to kill to silence them.

So logically, he should kill all three of them, but humans are greedy.

Nygma's family is wealthy, not only with real estate, but also with a business that can continue to make money. Mr. Nygma may have taken a fancy to these inheritances and left little Edward.

This comes from a property inheritance law in New Jersey. If the heir designated in the will of the deceased dies, then parallel inheritance is not possible without cost. In other words, it is not that Edward dies, and Mr. Nygma, the only blood relative, can smoothly inherit all the property.

On the contrary, he will not be able to inherit or must pay a huge inheritance tax to inherit.

But if the designated heir is alive and temporarily unable to inherit the property, then the property can be placed in the custody of the designated relative.

This inability to inherit does not refer to minors, but to incomplete behavioral capacity. The most common incomplete behavioral capacity is the mentally ill.

So Mr. Nygma is likely to have killed the Nygmas for property, leaving Edward, driving him crazy, and sending him to a mental hospital.

Without the social influence of the Nygmas, the underage Edward has no voice at all. In addition, he has been diagnosed with mental illness, and no one will believe what he says.

Mr. Nygma not only eliminated the threat, but also obtained a large inheritance from the Nygmas, and at the same time put the kid who ruined his good deeds into a mental hospital and tortured.

But he didn't expect that the Arkham Asylum, which was once like hell, has become a real mental hospital after transformation. With a responsible doctor like Brand, Edward not only did not suffer abuse, but also received good treatment, and is now almost cured and discharged.

Then Schiller thought again, what is the relationship between Williams and Nygma?

When destroying evidence, Nygma chose the Wardred Engineering Team to help him demolish the middle school and elementary school. This is not a simple demolition of the house. There must be some shady evidence in these two schools that needs to be destroyed.

This proves that Nygma trusts the Wardlade Engineering Team. In other words, they are birds of a feather.

It was at this point in time that Williams invested in the Wardlade Engineering Team and made Bob the manager. There is no doubt that both of them should know everything about what Nygma did, and the three of them were in cahoots.

The context of the organizational structure gradually became clear in Schiller's mind.

Williams is a wealthy businessman, and Nygma inherited the social influence of Nygma and his wife. The two of them can completely collude with politics and business. Williams uses money to pave the way for Nygma, and Nygma provides Williams with many conveniences.

As for Bob, he is the black glove that the two of them supported together. He is in charge of the Wardlade Engineering Team and is responsible for destroying the evil evidence for the two of them.

From this perspective, many things can be explained, for example, how did Williams' real estate company take the land around Schiller's house? People who can afford houses in that community are either rich or noble. Who would risk offending so many rich people and grant the land to the real estate company to build a resort?

For example, how come the Wardred Engineering Team, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly received so many orders and thrived for so many years without any problems?

For example, how did Mr. Nygma, who was originally just a middle school principal, transform himself into a financial tycoon and a popular candidate for the mayor of Gotham?

The three of them must have colluded.

But at the same time, Schiller did not think that the three of them were cooperating sincerely, and it could not even be said to be mutually beneficial. Although they may have the same perverted habits, they definitely conflicted and hindered each other in some aspects.

This can explain why so many contradictory things were done in the process of committing crimes and destroying evidence of crimes.

All of them wanted to use the other's crimes as a handle, hoping that the other's crimes would be exposed and ruined, so that they could push the crime onto the same unlucky person and keep themselves out of trouble.

Many of these loopholes were left by themselves, so that when someone starts to investigate this matter one day, they can use the other party as a breakthrough point, so that they will have enough time to react, whether it is to destroy evidence or to escape secretly, there is always a chance.

After figuring this out, Schiller knew that he had to act quickly, otherwise the remaining two people who could not contact Williams would definitely realize that he was in trouble and take action.

From the moment they found that they could not contact Williams, they would enter a psychological game.

On one side of the scale is the price they have to pay after framing Williams for everything, but he suddenly returns, and on the other side is the benefits they can get after framing Williams for everything, he can't come back and the police are really investigating.

The longer the disappearance, the less likely it is to return, and the weight of the latter will naturally be heavier. According to Schiller's judgment, the process of the latter completely overwhelming the former and prompting them to make this decision will not exceed three hours.

And now it is 2:15 in the night, and when the sun rises, Nygma will definitely make a choice.
