The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In a room in the Gotham Grand Theater, opposite to Schiller, sat the owner of the troupe with a frowning face. He introduced himself:

I am the owner of the Anjelica Troupe, Ande Wo. Anjelica is the name of my great-grandmother. My grandfather founded a troupe with this name. At first, we were just a small troupe, but when it came to my father For a generation, the Anjelica Troupe's reputation spread far and wide.

I have been in charge of this troupe for more than 20 years. We have traveled all over the east coast, even including some western cities, but there has never been such a dangerous situation...

The owner of the theater 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 already released the playlists all over the city. If we postpone the show now...

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

This is my grandfather's dream. He wants the troupe he founded to conquer the entire east coast, and the entire east coast is only a city away from Gotham. We need to present a perfect performance here, but who knows ...

Schiller nodded, but the city of Gotham is like this, the less you want something to happen, the more it will come true.

Let's talk about the deceased. I've heard about Miss Vicki. Does she have any enemies in the troupe? Or, who does she have a close relationship with?

The owner of the troupe rubbed his hands in a bit of embarrassment, and Schiller further said: Now, people are dead, no matter what kind of relationship the deceased had before they were alive, it is meaningless now, even if there are any secrets, you don't need to replace her again. It's kept secret.

The owner of the troupe hesitated for a while, but 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 speculates, she and Alex are actually a couple, but they have been reluctant to disclose the relationship. Many people in the troupe don't know it, but I ran into it by chance Once, I promised to keep it a secret for them...

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

Oh, that's right. The owner of the troupe replied: In the circle of the East Coast troupe, before the performance starts, the troupe accepts backstage visits. Those who are interested in this play can come to the backstage to meet the actors first.

When they see the actors and the backstage props, they may go back and talk about it with their friends or relatives, and it will pique other people's interest in the show, which is a way for the troupe to sell tickets. .”

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

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

Really? What's her business? Schiller asked.

At this time, Gordon, who was standing aside, said: The Goth family also came from shipping, but after Mrs. Goth took over, they began to intervene in the shipbuilding industry. In Gotham, except for the Wayne family who owns two shipyards Besides, it’s the Goth family.”

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

Gordon flipped through the record sheet in his hand and said, According to the previous interrogation, Miss Goethe and Werther Jr. are lovers. This time, Werther came to Gotham from another city to test the strength of the Goethe family.

In general, the Witte family may be a major customer of the Goth family's shipbuilding industry, because his shipping business needs a steady stream of cargo ships. Both Mr. Witte and Mrs. Goth know this, so the two families have marriage tendency.

Schiller nodded, indicating that he understood the situation, then he stood up and said, Let's go and see the scene of the crime.

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

Schiller turned his head and saw the policeman leading Bruce up the stairs. He said, You're back so soon? Don't you plan to rest for a while?

Bruce shook his head, his expression returned to normal, no longer as sluggish as before, although he was still a little tired, but his spirit was much better.

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

Dick wanted to go home from school, but because neither Alfred nor I were there, Wayne Manor couldn't get through, so his teacher called Selena, and she brought Dick back.

I thought it was a big deal. Gordon said as he pushed open the door of the room, So it's just that you forgot to pick up your child from school.

The three entered the room, and Vicky's body had already been sent away. Gordon stood beside the human figure and said that in about ten minutes, the preliminary results of the forensic examination will be sent. Before that, we can investigate first. Look at the scene.

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

The wounds of the deceased were nothing special, the left chest was pierced by a sharp weapon, the heart was shattered, and he was killed by one blow. Apart from that, there were no other wounds on the whole body.

Schiller turned to look at Bruce and said, At that time, what did you see?

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, slapped the glass twice, and then fell down. I saw her hands left blood on the glass.

I wanted to save people, so I climbed up directly from the drainpipe. When I came up, I found that the balcony window was locked, so I yanked the window hard twice.

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

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 dark shadow. When I pulled the window to make a sound, he ran away in a panic. .”

Schiller narrowed his eyes and asked, Black Shadow? Did you not see his physical features at all?

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

Schiller and Gordon glanced at each other. It was the first time they heard the words poor condition from Batman.

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

According to what you said, Miss Vicky was able to run before she died, and she even had the strength to slap the glass. This is not something a person with a broken heart can do. Schiller found something suspicious.

The severe pain caused by this kind of fatal penetrating injury will immediately make people lose their ability to resist. Let alone an actor like Miss Vicky who is pampered every day, even a professionally trained adult agent is very likely to be injured because of this. injuries and loss of mobility.

Gordon stroked his chin and said, In other words, Miss Vicky's injury may not have been that serious when she shot the window. Could it be that someone caused a second injury?

It's not impossible. Don't forget, the deceased suffered a penetrating wound, and a penetrating wound is the most likely wound to cause secondary damage.

Gordon frowned. He didn't realize what Schiller was referring to for a moment, but then Schiller raised the umbrella and pointed at Gordon.

In an instant, the lights in the room dimmed, and the ground where Gordon and Schiller were located turned into a disc, which rotated 60 degrees, and Gordon came to the position of the window, while Schiller was facing him.

The umbrella in Schiller's hand took off the umbrella surface and ribs, and turned into a sharp long sword. Schiller held the hilt of the sword, took a step forward, and pierced Gordon's chest with a sword.

Gordon immediately took two steps back, and instinctively covered his chest with blood on his hands, feeling severe pain. Facing the 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 and turned around, came to the window, slammed on the window, and wanted to ask for help, leaving blood on the glass with his hands.

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

In an instant, blood splattered, Gordon clutched his chest, struggled and fell to the ground, twitched twice, and died completely.

With a swish, the lights came back on. Gordon looked around and found that he had just fallen on the pattern of the corpse.

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

The murderer stabbed a sharp weapon into Miss Vicky's chest. At this time, her vital organs may have been pierced, but because of the special nature of the penetrating wound, as long as the murder weapon is not moved, the blood will not burst out so quickly, so it is still possible Have a certain ability to act.

Because there was no way to run out from the door, she might have wanted to jump out of the window, or she might have wanted to call for help by beating on the window.

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 had penetrated her body.

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

Both Schiller and Bruce nodded, approving the death process Gordon said, and at this time, Schiller turned his head to look at Bruce and said, Did you only see Miss Vicky in the window?

Yes, when she slapped the window, I went downstairs immediately, and then found the drainpipe on the east side of the building, and then started to climb. If someone really pulled the dead away from the window, then He probably did it while I was climbing.

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

Gordon hurried forward and took the document in his hand. After a glance, he found the most important piece of information on it. He took the document and showed it to Schiller:

According to the analysis of the state of the wound, the murder weapon was stabbed from behind?
