Chapter 3030: The Green Trees Are Thick and the Summer Is Long (38)

Chapter 3004 The green trees are dense and the summer is long (thirty-eight)

Brand took the doll from Miss Ritchie's hand. He saw the umbrella she was holding tightly in her hand, and naturally knew that this was what Schiller meant, so he sighed and faced Miss Ritchie. He waved and asked her to come with him.

They went to the previous soul-calling scene, and there were still some ingredients left, just enough to do another soul-calling ceremony.

Just when they were about to start, Schiller came back. Brand seemed to be confused as to why he was here. Schiller shook his head without saying anything and motioned for him to start quickly.

After the soul-calling ceremony began, the light of the runes gradually lit up, and a transparent shadow appeared in the center of the magic circle.

Miss Rich immediately let out a sharp cry. She rushed over and tried to hug her sister, but she failed because it was just the shadow of a soul and had no entity at all.

The shadow of the soul was attracted by the doll, and it slowly bent down to pick it up, but its fingers went through the cloth. At this time, the soul suddenly woke up, as if it realized that it was dead.

She was about to cry resentfully, but she saw Miss Rich throwing herself in front of her. Brand sighed and said, "Hello, madam, we called you back to ask you something."

Xuying didn't reply, but just stretched out his hand to help his sister up. At this time, Miss Rich finally became energetic. She stood up and wiped away her tears. She looked at her sister who was very similar to her and said, "Long time no see. Mana, I'm sorry, but you are already dead. We performed a spiritual summoning ceremony and called you back because we wanted to know how you died. Did that damn bastard kill you?"

Xuying seemed to recall the pain of her own death, and her expression became ferocious with resentment. Blood began to flow out of her nose and mouth, almost flooding the entire room.

Brand immediately began to appease the resentful spirit, and the shadow calmed down again. She suddenly touched Miss Rich's forehead with one hand, and Miss Rich let out a painful scream, rolled her eyes and fainted.

The shadow soon dissipated, and Miss Rich stood up again with tears streaming down her face. She was trembling, she had never looked so weak, and was rubbing her arms as if she were cold.

"Did you see how your sister died?"

"He gave her an anesthetic and then put her in the bathtub. She...she just drowned..."

Miss Ritchie burst into tears and hugged the doll on the ground. About ten minutes later, Brand helped the weak Miss Ritchie to the office.

After her emotions calmed down, she said: "My sister discovered what they were doing. She couldn't accept that her husband was this kind of person, but she decided to expose them and avenge those children."

"But God was not on her side, something went wrong, and that damn bastard discovered her intentions, so he killed her and made this a cold case, never to be seen again. "

"However, she did collect some evidence. In order to prevent the evidence from being destroyed, she hid the evidence. At that time, she had a premonition that something was not going to happen, so she had a backup plan. Before she died, another person she guided discovered the evidence. ”

"Another person? Who?" Schiller asked.

"A worker in the Ward Ryder construction engineering team. In my sister's memory, he is a man with a very sense of justice. More importantly, he once bravely saved a child who fell into the water. My sister trusts him very much."

Schiller thought about the bodies of workers he and Pamela had unearthed from beneath the soil at the site of the primary and secondary schools.

"That was ten years ago, right?"

"Yes, in my sister's memory, she succeeded. The worker should have seen the evidence, but then my sister died, so I don't know if he kept the evidence properly."

"He could be dead," Schiller said.

So far, all the clues have been connected.

Ten years ago, Nygma was tracked down by Edward for retaliating against Pari for committing the cloth bill. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, Nygma hired a Ward Ryder engineering team to dismantle the middle school and primary school in the Polokin community.

The wife of Bob, the manager of Wardled's engineering team, discovered that he had committed a crime of mutilating children. She silently collected evidence, but she was killed by Bob accidentally.

In order to bring this crime to light and make the murderer get the punishment he deserves, Bob's wife hid the evidence somewhere and led a worker to discover them.

The worker felt very frightened after discovering the evidence and was in panic all day long. He may have been secretly investigating, and returned to the ruins of the middle school and elementary school one day four years ago, but was killed there.

The criminals who discovered that someone was still pursuing the matter believed that the demolition of the middle school and primary school was not thorough enough, so they carried out a second demolition of the building site four years ago.

Maybe it was this incident that stimulated them and made them feel that no place was safe and there were insiders everywhere, so they started to silence them like crazy.

But at that time, the situation in Gotham was much better than it was ten years ago. It was not so easy to kill people at will and dump their bodies on the streets, so they built a crematorium in the Polokin community specifically to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.

Just recently, Miss Ritchie, who had been investigating the truth about her sister's death, came into their sight. They wanted to send Miss Ritchie to a mental hospital just like Edward was sent to a mental hospital, so they came to Schiller.

But Schiller thought that Williams chose the resort in that place not just for himself, he suspected that Williams was also dumping the body.

Because all the insiders are around Bob and Nygma, Williams seems to be out of the matter.

But in fact, it is probably not that simple. Williams' crime must have been discovered by others, but he may be the most powerful one among the three people, and all the insiders were silenced by him.

And perhaps out of precaution against the other two people, Williams did not follow the path of destroying the body and covering up the traces of the two people, but opened up a new track. Schiller suspected that he opened a resort by the lake, probably just to dump the body in the lake.

In fact, in this kind of weather, dumping the body in the water is really a good choice. On the one hand, it is cooler by the water, and it is not easy to get heatstroke. On the other hand, as long as it is handled properly, the body sunk into the lake has no smell and is less likely to be discovered.

But he may not have thought that the lake is almost full.

Of course, in fact, it may be because he did not expect that the aliens of the Guardians of the Galaxy would not reason with him at all, and they really made trouble when they said they would. This disrupted his subsequent series of plans and exposed himself.

After getting the clue from Miss Richie, Schiller felt that the worker who was guided by Bob's wife to find the evidence should not have lost the evidence, and it is very likely that it was hidden somewhere else.

Because his behavior was very strange, it was completely understandable that he did not call the police ten years ago. At that time, the police of the Gotham Police Department were busy with their own affairs. The best result after calling the police was that there was no result, and the worst result might even involve himself.

But four years ago, the situation had improved. The Gotham Police Department had established a strong prestige, and James Gordon's name was also sung in Gotham. Everyone knew that he hated evil and hated evil. As long as the collected evidence was handed over to Gordon, the case would be solved sooner or later.

In this case, he should have gone to the police station, not the ruins of the middle school and elementary school. What was he doing there?

Schiller thought that this should be related to the deeper secret he had speculated. The mountain didn't seem that simple.

At this time, Miss Rich had already picked up the umbrella. Schiller and Brand looked at her. Miss Rich gritted her teeth and said, "I will make that bastard pay the price! I will make him feel the pain of my sister!"

After that, she rushed out of the door. Brand looked at Schiller. Schiller shook his head and said, "She knows her limits. She won't kill him."

Although Schiller still followed her, Miss Rich gradually calmed down. She said, "Do you think I should hand him over to the police?"

"Do you think the police can punish him?"

"I don't have any evidence." Miss Rich said, "He didn't let me see the body, and didn't leave any evidence. And it's been ten years. I'm afraid..."

"In fact, we have evidence. There must be someone in the air-raid shelter where we were imprisoned. We can find something, but we can't reveal the evidence at this time, because then some of them can put the blame on one of them. "

"For example, if we let the bones of those children see the light of day now, there will be public outrage, and the Gotham Police Department will face great pressure, and the evidence of a certain person will be sent to them. "

"If they don't make it public, someone will incite the public to say that they are covering up. Once they make it public, everyone's attention will be drawn to this person, and others can be perfectly invisible and escape. "

"Yes, the scapegoat pushed out may be your enemy, that is, your sister's husband, but other accomplices will go unpunished. Is this what you want to see?"

Miss Richie shook her head. "And if the scapegoat is a dead person, then things will be even simpler. A dead person cannot refute his crime, and people will think that death is the greatest punishment for him. The importance of this case will definitely decrease. Do you still want to kill Bob now?"

Miss Rich sighed and said, "I understand what you mean. Even if you have locked the target and have certain evidence, you can't arrest or kill one of them immediately, because then other murderers will be able to escape punishment."

"It's not just me. The police are always like this. In your impression, the police may always procrastinate and do nothing. They obviously have evidence but don't arrest people, and they are also pretending to be with the murderers. This is probably the reason." Schiller replied.

"It's too complicated." Miss Richie tapped her head with her hand, and then said, "I'm not a smart person. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"Very good, Miss, I'm more and more glad that I helped you. You can go find Bob, or even tie him up, but don't do anything to him. Make sure he's alive, okay?"

Miss Richie clenched the umbrella and nodded. When Schiller turned to leave, she asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Investigate other clues. I'll contact you after dawn. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll know the result tomorrow."
