The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the interrogation room of the Gotham Police Department, Schiller blew on a cup of hot coffee, and the white mist from the cup drifted away, staining the lenses of his glasses.

The police officer sitting across from him stood up and gave up his seat to Gordon. Gordon knocked on the table and said helplessly, Can you look like a suspect? This is the interrogation room of the police station! I won't give you a seat. Wearing handcuffs is not a reason for you to drink coffee!

The police officer outside still complained that you don't drink Americano, you have to drink espresso, and he has to go to the fourth floor to use the new coffee machine...

Can you stop acting like a habitual criminal who is familiar with the interrogation room?

I'm a foreigner, that's why I'm sitting here drinking coffee, if a local...

Schiller looked up and looked around, Gordon followed his gaze, and the two looked at the dense bullet marks on the wall. Gordon was at a loss for words for a while, he knew what Schiller wanted to say in the second half of the sentence. The full force has already begun.

No matter what you have investigated, I can only tell you that you are looking for the wrong person. I am just a university professor who has never even fired a gun.

Gordon sighed again. He went to sit down opposite Schiller, and said, According to our investigation, you are the only one in the school who has obvious conflicts with the new principal, Seldon. You are the focus of our investigation.

What conflict do I have with him? Schiller asked Gordon: I have completed all the teaching tasks he arranged perfectly, even if it was other arrangements beyond the scope of work, I did not delay at all.

I've been a freshman guide, librarian, and archivist, and I'm not asking for a raise...

But according to the testimonies of other school staff, the new headmaster, Seldon, is quite dissatisfied with you.

He was dissatisfied with me, so why did he die?

That's up to you.

You can't assume my motives by guessing my heart. In my opinion, he is not a good headmaster, but he is not too bad. Maybe he has personal opinions on me, but we have no disagreements at work. , and there is no real conflict, no violation of each other's interests, no deep hatred worth killing.

Gordon looked at him silently, and he also knew that what Schiller said was right. According to their investigation, although Seldon seemed to have a bad attitude towards Schiller and was always looking for trouble, but they did indeed There was not much conflict, and there was no such thing as Schiller's disobedience to work arrangements. The two even had very little communication, let alone a direct dispute.

In fact, Gordon does not have much hope for Schiller's investigation, because based on his understanding of the professor, if he did it, he would not adopt such a direct method. Will let anyone seize the evidence.

In comparison, Victor was more suspicious because he was the first person to discover the crime scene, and he had a good relationship with Schiller, but not a good relationship with Seldon.

And before, Victor complained to his colleagues that Seldon's arrangement for Easter was too tight. Although this is not enough to be a reason for killing, it can also be seen that he doesn't like the new principal very much.

According to Gordon's investigation, Seldon doesn't have any bad habits. If he has to say, he is too much like a politician. As the headmaster, he expresses his views on various social events.

Of course, perhaps out of fear of the gangsters, he is not a righteous and reasonable person, and his attitude is quite vacillating. It is not easy for such a person to form a deadly enmity with others.

Schiller sat across from Gordon and said, Actually, I do have a clue for you.

What is it?

Schiller put down his coffee cup, put his hands on the table and said, The new headmaster is as keen to meet the upper echelons of the gang as he is in other cities.

But gangsters are different from ordinary businessmen. The lifeblood and secrets of certain illegal industries cannot be known by anyone. I suspect...Of course, I just suspect...

You mean, there's a possibility that Seldon was silenced?

Gordon thought for a while, and then said: There is indeed such a possibility. The level of gangsters he associates with can indeed come into contact with some secrets that others do not know. If Seldon is involved in certain things...

Of course, I want to emphasize that this is just a guess, and it's my personal guess. I definitely don't mean it, and I haven't heard any rumors.

Gordon stared at him, and he rolled his eyelids up, looking over his eyes, and asked Schiller, The law of silence?

Schiller shook his head and crossed himself on his chest.

Just as Gordon continued to talk to Schiller, a police officer knocked on the door, walked in, saluted Gordon, and said, Boss, there is a new discovery.

Then the young policeman glanced at Schiller, as if he was asking Gordon if he wanted to go out and talk, and Gordon said directly: You don't need to go out, just talk here.

This is also a commonly used method in interrogation, using new developments in the case to increase the pressure on the person being interrogated. Gordon actually didn't want to use this method to deal with Schiller, he was just used to it.

We found that the victim's desk drawers and cabinets had all been turned over, and a drawer with a lock on the bottom of the desk was pried away, so we searched the entire desk carefully and found that the side of the middle drawer was There is a hidden grid.

As he said that, the young policeman took out a transparent plastic bag with a tape in it. Gordon signaled the policeman behind to bring a tape recorder, then put on his gloves, took out the tape and looked at it, saying: There is no damage on the surface, so it should be able to play directly.

Gordon put the tape into the recorder, and then pressed the button on it. When the recorder started to work, the first thing that came out was the sound of electric current, followed by a loud noise.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice came from the tape: Their shipments from Plantation No. 9 take the old Wilkin's route, that is, the route that goes through Santiao Avenue in the East District. Their volume is too large, so the delivery port Set in the basement of a nightclub, I can say hello to him if you want...

Are you worried about this? You don't need to. As far as I know, the underground chemical plant in the West District is also Falcone...

Hearing this, Gordon shook his fingers and immediately turned off the recorder. He said to the others in the room: For your safety, you didn't hear anything, you know?

The young subordinates covered their ears for a moment, nodded, and then left. After they left, Gordon stared at Schiller, and Schiller said to Gordon: Officer, I want to call the police. Someone eavesdropped on my privacy and recorded it.

What kind of privacy is this? You...

Then you can definitely broadcast this recording through the police station's radio.

If you want to wipe out the Gotham Police Department, just say so.

Gordon took a deep breath, sat on the seat first, then made a gesture to Schiller to sit down, and said soothingly: Okay, okay, I'm not saying that you killed Seldon, but You should at least explain to me, what's going on?

I'll say it again, I didn't kill people.

Schiller sat down, took another sip of coffee and said, You should know that there are cameras in Gotham University, right? Our President Seldon is in his office every day, observing the situation in the school through the cameras.

It also includes the calls I answered in the public area, but I really didn't know he recorded the audio. Schiller shook his head and said: I have to say, as a foreigner, he is really bold.

Gordon let out the breath he was holding, and said, It seems that he was indeed silenced...

This is the scene of the crime. Gordon took a stack of photos and said, According to our investigation, Seldon was pushed downstairs. The balcony guardrail of his office on the 8th floor is very low. He should be standing in front of the guardrail. I got pushed and fell down.

According to the on-site investigation, when he was pushed down, his back should be facing that person. That is to say, he probably knew the murderer and had no defense against the murderer. When he was talking with his back to the murderer, he was pushed. go down.

This is a crime committed by an acquaintance, and the method is far from the Gotham style. It did not use a submachine gun or a shotgun, or even a pistol.

That's why Victor and I became suspects, right? Because the two of us are fairly familiar with Seldon, and we are outsiders, not very good at using guns, and not strong enough.

Now you are more suspected than Victor. After all, he has heard some inside information from you. You have a reason to silence...

At this moment, a violent noise came from the center of the police station hall, accompanied by shouts and curses, Gordon stood up immediately, and a police officer rushed in and said: Sergeant Gordon, something has happened!

Don't panic, what's the matter? Gordon stood up and turned around to ask him. The police officer said loudly, Winnie at the front desk and Byrd on duty suddenly went crazy! Others are stopping them...

Crazy? Gordon immediately thought of something, he turned around and opened the iron door of the interrogation room to let Schiller come out, and then several people hurried to the front hall.

When he arrived at the front hall, the madman had been subdued, but he was still struggling and growling. Gordon wanted to get close to him, but another sheriff stopped him and said, Don't go there, they're crazy, I was almost killed just now. Take a bite!

What the hell is going on? Why did it suddenly...

Who knows? I was chatting with Winnie and we were talking about this year's Easter plan, and she suddenly started to twitch, then she fell back hard, and then started smashing her arms on the counter and throwing chairs. Bird went out, and Bird on the other side also went crazy... said a police officer holding Winnie.

Gordon wanted to go to the counter to check, Schiller sniffed, grabbed Gordon, and said, Don't go there, first evacuate the people, send the patients to the hospital, and then look for the gas masks in your arsenal. There may be a problem...

You mean... Gordon paused and shouted, Everyone retreat! Get out of this room! Go to an open place, don't come near here!

When everyone went out, Schiller walked in alone. His steps were too fast, and Gordon didn't hold him back.

When Schiller went to the counter, he found that there were some fragments of eggshells, which were still colored.

Gordon stood outside the room and kept waving at Schiller. After observing the surrounding area, Schiller came out and said to Gordon, There should be something wrong with the Easter eggs.

Easter eggs? I think I heard Winnie mention that she received a beautiful easter egg today... another female police officer said.

Remember the mass illness among Gotham University students?

Schiller narrowed his eyes, took out his mobile phone, called his colleague Anna and said, Hello... yes, I want to ask, have the Easter eggs you purchased outside been distributed to the students?

Really? Can you remember who it was sent to? Can you give me a list? Yes, thank you...

Then he called Victor again and asked, Did you give those Easter eggs you made yourself to the students? . . . already? Do you remember who you gave them to? Can you give me a list? ?

Schiller explained to Gordon: On the eve of Easter, Principal Seldon suddenly distributed a lot of materials for making Easter eggs, asking professors to make their own Easter eggs and distribute them to students.

One of my colleagues, Anna, and I thought it was troublesome, so we didn't make it ourselves, but bought ready-made eggs from outside. Now both kinds of easter eggs are distributed to the students. I asked them for the list of students who received the easter eggs. We By comparing them, you can know which egg has a problem...
