Chapter 750: Bats' Night Talk (Part 1)

In a room at the Gotham Theater, opposite Schiller, there was a sad-looking theater owner sitting. He introduced himself:

"I am Andover, the owner of the Angelica Theater Company. Angelica is the name of my great-grandmother. My grandfather founded a theater group with this name. At the beginning, we were just a small theater group, but by my father's Generation after generation, the Angelica Troupe has become famous.”

"I have taken over this troupe for more than 20 years. We have traveled all over the East Coast and even some western cities, but there has never been such a dangerous situation..."

The owner of the troupe sighed deeply and said: "A few days before the start of the play, one of the leading actors passed away. This is not a good sign. We have distributed the play sheets all over the city. If we postpone the show now..."

Schiller put his hands on the table and intertwined his fingers. He looked at the theater owner and said, "I'm sorry, but can I ask what made you decide to come to Gotham?"

"This was my grandfather's dream. He wanted the theater company he founded to conquer the entire East Coast, and the only other city on the East Coast was Gotham. We needed to put on a perfect show here, but who knew …”

Schiller nodded, but that's how the city of Gotham is. The more you don't want something to happen, the more it will come true.

"Let's talk about the deceased. I've heard something about Miss Vicky. Does she have any enemies in the troupe? In other words, who does she have a closer relationship with?"

The theater owner rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Schiller further said: "Now that the person is dead, no matter what kind of relationship the deceased had before his death, it is meaningless now. Even if there is any secret, there is no need for you to cover it for her." Keep it secret."

The owner of the troupe hesitated for a moment, then said: "Vicky is very popular and has no enemies. Many actresses in the troupe like her very much, and the male actors are impressed by her beauty and acting skills."

"As for the intimate relationship...well, as the outside world has speculated, she and Alex are actually a couple, but they have been unwilling to make this relationship public. Many people in the troupe don't know it, but I bumped into it by chance. Once, I promised to keep it a secret for them..."

Schiller nodded while recording, and asked: "So, what about those people who are not from the troupe?"

"Oh, that's right." The theater owner replied: "In the circle of the East Coast Theater Company, the theater group accepts backstage visits before the performance starts. People who are interested in the play can come backstage to meet the actors first. "

“When they see the actors and the props and scenery backstage, they may go back and talk to their friends or relatives about it, stimulating other people’s interest in the show. This is a way for the theater company to sell tickets. ”

The owner of the theater company said bluntly: "Just yesterday, Mrs. Goethe called the theater company. She said that she was an avid theater lover and hoped to visit the backstage today and meet the leading actors. I agreed."

"But I didn't expect that she brought many people, including her daughter, a shipping businessman named Werther, Werther's son, and the fat man Leon. Although I don't like so many people entering the backstage, but I still received her politely, after all, Mrs. Goethe is still very influential."

"Really? What kind of business does she do?" Schiller asked.

At this time, Gordon, who was standing aside, spoke up: "The Goethe family also came from the shipping business. However, after Mrs. Goethe took over, they began to get involved in the shipbuilding industry. In Gotham, in addition to the Wayne family, they own two shipyards. Besides, it’s the Goethe family.”

"So, what is the relationship between Mrs. Goethe and Mr. Werther?" Schiller asked.

Gordon turned over the record sheet in his hand and said: "According to the previous interrogation, Miss Goethe and Little Werther are lovers. This time, Werther came to Gotham from other cities to examine the strength of the Goethe family."

"In general, the Witte family may be a big customer of the Goethe family's shipbuilding industry, because his shipping business requires a steady stream of cargo ships. Both Mr. Witte and Mrs. Goethe know this. Therefore, there is a marriage between the two families. tendency."

Schiller nodded, indicating that he understood the situation. Then he stood up and said, "Let's go see the eucalyptus discovery site."

The troupe owner was taken away by another police officer to ask for details. Gordon and Schiller walked towards the room where Miss Vicky died. At this time, they heard footsteps behind them.

Schiller turned around and saw the police officer leading Bruce up the stairs. He said, "You're back so soon? Aren't you going to rest a little longer?"

Bruce shook his head. His expression returned to normal and was no longer as dull as before. Although he was still a little tired, his energy was much better.

"What does Selena want from you?" Schiller asked as the three of them walked towards the room.

"Dick wanted to come home from school, but because Alfred and I were away, the phone line in Wayne Manor couldn't be reached, so his teacher called Selina and she took Dick back."

"I thought it was something big." Gordon said as he opened the door to the room, "It turns out it's just that you forgot to pick up the child from school."

The three of them walked into the room. Vicky's body had been sent away. Gordon stood next to the human figure and said that in about ten minutes, the preliminary results of the forensic examination will be sent. Before that, we can first Investigate the scene.

Before Vicky's body was taken away, Schiller had already stepped forward to check the wound.

There was nothing special about the deceased's wounds. The left chest was penetrated by a sharp weapon, his heart was broken, and he was killed by one blow. Apart from that, there were no other wounds on his body.

Schiller turned to look at Bruce and said, "What did you see at that time?"

"I'm standing downstairs..." Bruce walked to the window, pointed to the corner downstairs on the left, and said, "That's right there."

"When I looked up, I happened to see a figure. She tapped the glass twice and then fell down. I saw her hands leaving blood stains on the glass."

"I wanted to save people, so I climbed up directly from the drainage pipe. When I came up, I found that the balcony window was locked, so I pulled the window hard twice."

Bruce opened the window and jumped onto the balcony, simulating the action at that time. However, because the lock of the window had been broken by him, there was no loud noise, but both Schiller and Gordon understood what he was doing.

"When I first came up, my eyes couldn't adapt to the bright lights in the room. When I looked directly at the scene in the room, I vaguely saw a black figure. When I pulled the window to make a sound, he ran away in panic. ”

Schiller narrowed his eyes and asked, "Dark shadow? Didn't you see his physical features at all?"

"I wasn't in good shape at the time." Bruce paused and said, "So I didn't look carefully."

Schiller and Gordon looked at each other. This was the first time they heard the words "in poor condition" from Batman's mouth.

Generally speaking, Batman will keep silent about his current state. Even if he is injured, bleeding, or even incapacitated, you can only hear a series of countermeasures from his mouth.

"According to what you said, Miss Vicky was still able to run before she died, and even had the energy to slap the glass. This is not an action that a person with a broken heart can make." Schiller found something suspicious.

"The severe pain caused by this kind of fatal penetrating injury will immediately make people lose their ability to resist. Not to mention a daily pampered actress like Miss Vicky, even an adult agent who has received professional training is very likely to suffer from this The injury resulted in loss of mobility.”

Gordon touched his chin and said, "In other words, Miss Vicky's injuries may not have been that serious when she patted the window. Could it be that someone caused secondary injuries?"

"It's not impossible. Don't forget, the deceased suffered a penetrating injury, and penetrating injuries are the wounds most likely to cause secondary injuries."

Gordon frowned. He didn't realize what Schiller was referring to, but then, Schiller raised his umbrella and pointed it at Gordon.

Instantly, the lights in the room dimmed, and the ground where Gordon and Schiller were turned into a disk. The disk rotated 60 degrees. Gordon came to the window, and Schiller was facing him.

The umbrella in Schiller's hand shed its cover and ribs and turned into a sharp long sword. Schiller held the hilt of the sword, stepped forward, and pierced Gordon's chest with the sword.

Gordon immediately took two steps back and instinctively covered his chest. His hands were covered with blood and he felt severe pain. Facing the extremely vicious murderer, Gordon instinctively wanted to run away.

However, the murderer happened to be blocking the only way between him and the door, so he staggered around, came to the window, slapped the window, wanted to ask for help, and left blood stains on the glass with his hands.

To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading to catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with a variety of sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple.

At this time, Schiller leaned forward again, grabbed Gordon's shoulder, turned him around, grabbed the hilt of the sword that was pierced into his chest, and pulled out the long sword that was pierced into his chest.

In an instant, blood spattered. Gordon covered his chest, struggled and fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then died completely.

With a "swish" sound, the lights came back on. Gordon looked left and right and found that he had fallen right on top of the figure where the body was.

Gordon got up from the ground and stood there thinking, he said:

"The murderer stabbed Miss Vicky's chest with a sharp weapon. At this time, her important organs may have been pierced. However, due to the special nature of the penetrating injury, as long as the murder weapon is not moved, the blood will not burst out so quickly, so it is still Have some mobility."

"Because she couldn't run out of the door, she might have tried to jump out of the window, or she might have tried to bang on the window to call for help."

"When she came to the window, the murderer caught up with her, pulled Miss Vicky away from the window, and then pulled out the sharp weapon that penetrated her body."

"Due to the way the force was exerted, Miss Vicky was pulled to the left side by the murderer, took two steps back, and fell to the place where she died."

Schiller and Bruce both nodded, acknowledging what Gordon said about the death process. At this time, Schiller turned to look at Bruce and said, "Did you only see Miss Vicky at the window?"

"Yes, when she slapped the window, I immediately came downstairs, and then found the drainage pipe on the east side of the building, and then started climbing. If someone really pulled the deceased away from the window, then It's possible he did it while I was climbing."

At this time, a police officer knocked on the door and left. He came in and said to Gordon: "Boss, the forensic autopsy report is out!"

Gordon hurried forward and took the document from him. After taking a glance, he found the most important information on it. He took the document and showed it to Schiller:

"According to the wound condition, the murder weapon was stabbed from the back?"
