Chapter 2339 Gotham Music Festival (71)

Chapter 2332 Gotham Music Festival (71)

Sure enough, Bruce arrived quickly.

"Good evening, Professor."

Schiller nodded.

"He came extra early today." Gordon handed the cup of hot tea to Bruce and said, "He hasn't been this active for a long time. It seems that he is very interested in these cases."

Bruce thought, sure enough, Schiller already knew that he was going to take action, and even determined the specific time, otherwise it would be impossible to drop everything in hand and rush over immediately.

And Schiller was thinking, then I am too proactive. If I had not come all the way to cause trouble for you, you would really think that you are a great detective who can call sleeping people at nine o'clock in the middle of the night.

Schiller said nothing and turned to look at the body.

Bruce also looked at the body. His first reaction was that he definitely didn't leave any clues enough to follow. Batman is the world's greatest detective, which means he must also be the world's most brilliant criminal. As long as he doesn't want to, no one can find any clues at the scenes he handles.

But in fact, ordinary police investigation skills are not very good. Most serial killers who can escape justice for a long time can do it without leaving any clues. This is not the point.

"Who do you think the murderer is?" Schiller asked.

Bruce paused in his heart and swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out. He really didn't expect Schiller to ask this question first.

Sure enough, all the exams in the world are for those who don't know how to take the exam. Shouldn't they be the first to ask who the deceased is? Reasoning must also be based on the Basic Law. How can anyone directly infer who the murderer is after watching the scene for less than two minutes?

This completely disrupted Bruce's rhythm, but he was worthy of being Batman. He adjusted his state instantly and said, "This has to start with the identity of the victim..."

Schiller nodded. He thought that the long reasoning that took up at least 80% of the comics was still coming. In his previous life, he disliked reading this part the most. It was so tiring.

Schiller shut down his brain and skipped.

When he regained consciousness, both Gordon and Bruce looked at him. Schiller nodded and said, "But you haven't answered my question yet."

Without even looking at it or thinking about it, he knew that there must be no important information in the paragraph just now, otherwise Gordon would definitely praise him out loud.

"Now that we know the murderer is from Mexico through his tattoo, we have to connect him with the previous tragedy that happened on the cruise ship..."

Keep skipping.

Soon Schiller regained consciousness, and the two continued to stare at him. Schiller then nodded.

Bruce's heart sank to the bottom. He really shouldn't have gone into too much detail about the background information on the Mexican culture where the totem came from. This paragraph was really too long, and there was also an investigation into the background information and personnel distribution of the Penitent Cartel. .

There are too many conclusions quoted from the FBI. These FBIs do nothing every day and use any means to fill the number of words for the file.

Bruce even suspected that some of the Confessional Cartels he had discovered were actually made up by the FBI to deal with their superiors. He knew that Schiller knew the FBI very well, so he must have heard it, right?

Damn the FBI, if he doesn't slash the main artery of the military budget next year, he won't be named Wayne.

We have to bring the topic back to the topic. Next, we need to analyze the scene. We must pay attention to this step. Bruce reminded himself in his mind that he was not talking about doctoral applications. If he got too hasty and exposed, Gordon would have to handcuff him.

"Look at the posture of the corpse." Bruce pretended to be calm and said: "The murderer must not have done it without a clear purpose. This has something to do with the identity of the victim and the murderer's intention..."

It's not that Schiller wanted to continue to skip, but he was really sleepy. It was pitiful. It was already past 11 o'clock in the night. Greed, who was always used to going to bed early and getting up early, felt that he must have left his soul at home.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he seemed to have been silent for a long time, so it was impossible to judge from the state of Gordon and Bruce whether they had said any key information.

Forget it, let's make the problem simpler. Schiller sighed in his mind and thought, how could these Gotham people come up with so many twists and turns? Sure enough, he was right to charge by the hour. New Yorkers and he were competing against time to speak. , never wordy.

"The murderer's name." Schiller said only one sentence.

Bruce's heart was pounding, almost about to jump out of his chest. He couldn't feel any of Schiller's attitude. He didn't know whether he knew it in advance, whether he noticed it in the process, or whether he had realized it.

No matter how well the children study in the future, as long as they are happy and healthy, Bruce thought, exams are so annoying.

"Amanda Waller." Bruce spat out the name as if he was dying, and gave the last key information. "She called me after she came back and confessed that the cartel was inextricably linked to the death of her parents. connect."

Wouldn't it be better if you said this earlier? Schiller thought helplessly in his heart that a spy chief killed a member of a drug trafficking organization for personal vendetta. He put this sentence in the first sentence and said that now he is home and sleeping.

But Schiller hasn't forgotten what he came here to do. It's so easy for them to find the murderer and close the case. Why add to the chaos?

"Are you sure?" The questioning tone was quite obvious.

Bruce and Gordon both felt their hearts tremble.

"There are accomplices." Bruce had to throw out another chess piece and said: "Judging from the crime scene, it was not done by one person."

"So who is he?"

Too sharp, Bruce thought. This kind of continuous questioning was really too difficult to handle. Bruce took a deep breath and said: "There is too little evidence to make a judgment. We need to continue the investigation."

"Well, continue."

Knowing that it's not that simple, Bruce knew that he could finally use organized language.

"There is no doubt that this man is not an ordinary criminal or a super criminal. He is a serial killer and a psychopath. He arranged the body like this because he had a unique meaning he wanted to express."

"This kind of person usually talks to the world in a way that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. This corpse is obviously the channel for his dialogue. The reason why it is said to be a dialogue is because the ritual atmosphere at the crime scene is quite strong."

"The sacrifices were slaughtered, arranged beautifully, and placed on trays for display. It was like a ceremony, but display was not the point, because the corpse did not face us, and all the organs that could be used to display emotions were They are all facing upward, indicating that the murderer is not for us to see, but for God to see.”

"He is a theist and believes that there are gods in the sky, and the only way to communicate with the gods is through sacrifice, which is to obtain God's mercy by showing sinners to God."

"It's nonsense," Schiller commented.

Bruce was silent.

What a joke, Schiller thought. If I didn't interrupt you, how would you ever see what real nonsense is?

Schiller said: "Sacrifice is obviously not the theme of this murder. You feel this way because the murderer makes you feel this way. He took great pains to arrange a sacrificial scene and wanted to show it as the result of the insanity of a devout believer." ”

"In fact, he is neither religious nor insane. He is very shrewd and has a pessimistic attitude towards the cause and outcome of this case, a Hegelian pessimism that believes that all tragedies in this world are inevitable. The essence is ethical self-division and reconciliation.”

Gordon couldn't understand anymore, and Bruce was recalling what Hegel's theory of tragedy was. As expected, he remembered every word, but it was not easy to understand when put together.

"The theme of this murder is 'Antigone'. There is no doubt that either the murderer is a fanatical admirer of Hegel's aestheticism, or he is practicing this kind of doctrine."

"What is that?" Gordon asked confused.

"A princess ignored the king's prohibition and buried her treasonous brother, and was executed by the king. The stubborn and rigid king eventually separated from his wife and children." Bruce concluded.

But he really didn't see any connection between the murder and this story. He swore that when he was arranging the corpse, he didn't think about Hegel for a moment.

"Tragic conflicts have inevitable inevitability and social nature." Schiller threw out another theory and said: "Both parties in the conflict are one-sidedly realizing their own ethical requirements in one aspect. The princess does not want her brother to die in the wild. , was required by family ethics, but burying his brother obviously violated national ethics. It was this ethical conflict that led to this tragedy."

"This tragedy is bound to happen because the princess's character is like this. She is close to the people she trusts and tries her best to get a good home for them, but she would rather die than surrender to the powerful."

"The king's character is also the same. He rules the country with force and does not allow anyone to disobey. The king's duties require that he must use force to regulate the behavior of his relatives."

"So as long as the two of them exist, this tragedy is bound to happen. It must be an extremely important attribute in Hegelian aesthetics, and it almost represents the entire aesthetics of this kind of tragedy. The most beautiful thing about tragedy is that it changes with time. , What is going to happen will happen, it is never avoided, and it never gets better.”

"If we raise all this to a broader level, we can know that all this absurdity is reasonable, because all kinds of ethics and morals are the result of social development. From a social level, it must require this."

"Contradictory but reasonable, this is the micro- and macro-level explanation given by Hegelian tragic aesthetics for personal character development and social ethical requirements."

"So what does this have to do with this case?" Gordon asked confused.

what is the relationship? Schiller snorted in his heart. So far, the biggest relationship between the two things recognized by academic circles is the phone call you chose to make to me at nine o'clock in the middle of the night.

Confused, that's right, because this theory was something he thought of within three seconds before he spoke, and it has nothing to do with this case.

But you should also be lucky, Schiller thought. You asked if you didn't know something, and you were just confused. The greatest detective in the world behind you has begun to think that it was not my analysis that was wrong, but his murder plan.

Yes, Schiller already knew who the murderer was, but not through any reasoning at all, but directly asked Hui Wu, who determined that the factors attached to Bruce's body were exactly the same as those flowing in the blood of the corpse.

Schiller thought, don't always look for the cause of Gotham's problems. Who is a good person who spends three hours every day in the middle of the night gathering people to play detective games?
