"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman

The afternoon in Gotham always looks a little drowsy. The originally unglamorous sunlight passes through the tulle curtains and becomes even fainter. When it falls on the floor, it looks like the golden sunset waves.

Schiller is standing behind the table, playing with a telescope from the time of great voyages. This is the collection of the original owner of the manor. He accompanied his ancestors across the ocean and came here from Europe thousands of miles away. .

Most of the decorations on Schiller's table were left by the original owner of the manor, so they all have some British classical charm, such as the old and yellowed globe placed on the corner of the table gramophone, and walking stick hanging from the side of the bookshelf.

Schiller was holding the binoculars and looking forward, suddenly, a black shadow flew across the field of vision of the binoculars, Schiller put down the binoculars, turned to look at the uninvited Batman.

Batman picked up the globe at the corner of the table very naturally, and in his field of vision, the globe blocked Schiller's head, as if everything had returned to a dream.

Batman flipped the globe with his hand, but it stopped soon, and Batman said to Schiller: "You know, what I'm here to do..."

Schiller was turning around to take something from the bookshelf. He rummaged through it and said, "Isn't he here to arrest me? Detective Batman?"

"Gordon told me that whenever something strange and incomprehensible happens in Gotham, it is right to come to you."

"Oh, why don't I know what strange things happened in Gotham recently? Are you referring to those ordinary murders?"

Batman tasted the words "unremarkable" in his mouth, and suddenly felt that his next series of introductions and explanations were a bit difficult to speak.

Schiller turned around, holding a bottle of wine and two glasses in his hand, and then he sat Batman across the table, and he said: "The statement of language is always a bit boring, far worse than the body." It’s fun to be there, don’t you think?”

Perhaps because he didn't want his next topic to be evaluated as "unremarkable and boring", Batman drank the glass of wine in front of him like a drug, and Schiller also took a sip of the wine , and then relax and lean back on the chair, drunk and drowsy.

As the afternoon sun floated in the air, Batman suddenly woke up. He saw the globe on the table began to rotate slowly, but the head of Schiller on the opposite side was normal. After he opened his eyes, he paused. Then say, "Oh, I forgot."

Then he leaned forward, reached out and took the globe on the table, and put it in front of his face. In Batman's view, the globe and Schiller's head overlapped, and Schiller's head changed became a globe.

Now Batman knows how the globe-headed Schiller in the dream got here.

After Schiller stood up, Batman also stood up, and the two walked to the center of the room. Schiller made a gesture of invitation to Batman, and Batman began to concentrate, recalling the Rich Room in his memory details.

This is the first time he has constructed such a large-scale scene in a dream. Even with the support of physical memory, Batman consumed most of his energy in an instant.

As he slowly raised his arm, the scene in the room began to change. The books on the bookshelf melted back into the wall one by one. He retreated, sank into the floor, and the floor turned over piece by piece, from dark brown to light brown.

Rich's body appeared on the floor, blood spread on the light-colored floor, and then gradually seeped into the cracks.

Schiller clicked his tongue and said, "It's really tragic, isn't it?"

"Three days ago, the leader of the Lawrence family among the Gotham twelve families was found dead in his bedroom. There were seven wounds on his body, of which a penetrating wound in the heart was fatal. Narcotic drugs..."

"Two days ago, Brother Hawke, who was also a member of the Hawke family in the Twelve Families, was found dead in his study room. After being tied to a chair in the study room, he was beheaded and killed with a knife."

"One day ago, the head of the Rich family among the twelve families was found dead in the living room. He was sawed open from the middle of his body and died of excessive blood loss."

"The common point of these three cases is that they all died in the same way as the apostles among the twelve disciples of Jesus. Both Gordon and I believed that this was a serial murder case, but until today after Rich's death, I found that the murderer's modus operandi is different from the previous two cases."

Schiller grabbed the air with his hand, and a cane appeared in his hand. He tapped the ground lightly with the cane and said, "Why do you judge that this is a serial murder case? Just because they died Does it fit in a certain religious story?”

"Doesn't that fit the profile of a serial killer?" Batman asked. "I remember hearing that in class. Most serial killers like to find a backstory with numbers. , applied to the process of committing crimes, such as the most common seven deadly sins, Black Friday, Sabbath, etc..."

"So I said in class, why is that?"

"Because of the 'sense of ritual', serial murderers, especially those who randomly choose their targets, don't kill for revenge, they just enjoy the pleasure of killing their own kind, so for them, The important thing is the sense of ritual."

"Even if killing seven people in seven days may greatly increase the probability of them being caught by the police, and the various clues left behind may also increase the possibility of being arrested, but they will still do it, and they don't realize this. Without the happiness brought by this sense of ritual, killing becomes meaningless to them.”

"That's right, that's why for a good detective, serial murderers are sometimes easier to deal with than ordinary murderers, because they will always take the initiative to leave all kinds of clues .”

"So, this should be a very typical serial murder..."

But Schiller shook his head and said: "Maybe it looks like this on the surface, but in fact, I can only say that this is a poor imitator."

"Copycat? What do you mean?"

"It means that the person who did it is not the kind of psychopathic killer I told you, that is to say, he is not a real serial killer, but a kind of lame imitator. "

Batman looks into Schiller's eyes and asks, "Why?"

"First of all, I am not legally responsible for what I say next, because it is just a dream, and because it is just a dream, I will only tell you this in my dream, and you don't have to think about it Activate some audio or video devices in reality, to use some of my dream talk as evidence..."

Holding his cane, Schiller started pacing around Rich's body lying in the middle of the room, and said, "You know, what would I do if I were to do this case?"

Batman didn't expect him to start this topic, but he really couldn't think of an answer, and finally he could only answer: "I don't think you will do this kind of case, because there is no need."

"I'm glad you still know me a little bit, but we're assuming now, assuming, I just suddenly changed my mind and started planning a serial murder..."

"First of all, let's start with the topic. Since you said that the murderer's topic is **** and his twelve disciples, then I will also use this topic."

"I think you should have carefully read the story of **** and his twelve disciples?"

Batman nodded, Schiller looked up, showing a look of reminiscence, he asked: "Do you remember who was the first to die among the Twelve Apostles?"

"...is St. James?"

"Yes, in the records of the Bible, he was the first disciple who died for Jesus. Do you know what kind of person he is?"

"Both brothers James and John were the sons of Zebedee, and their mother was also a disciple of Jesus. James was beheaded by King Herod. Both he and John were strong-tempered people..."

"That's why I said the man who did it was just a poor imitator. Who is Lawrence? Does he have anything in common with Jacob? What makes him the first martyr?"

Batman didn't understand what Schiller meant, and Schiller continued: "If it were me, the first target I selected must have brothers, just like Jacob, and old Lawrence should be an only child."

"Secondly, Lawrence's temperament is not strong enough, his appearance and interior are far from Jacob's."

"And you also said that the first martyr was beheaded, not crucified."

"So, if I were to do this, my first target would be a male with an extremely strong personality, a brother and a living mother, and his death method would be to be beheaded."

"What if Lawrence corresponds to St. Peter?"

"Oh, yes, St. Peter is known as the closest person to Jesus, and was also named the first pope ~IndoMTL.com~ If he was the first to die, that would make sense, but old Lawrence and St. What do Peter have in common?"

Batman was silent, Schiller tilted his head, looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Not to mention, the process of the murderer crucifying old Lawrence upside down is simply telling you very bluntly that he is a fake. "

"If you have read history, you know that in the punishment of crucifixion, the victim on the cross should not die from being pierced through his vital organs, but should be exposed to the open air after being nailed through his limbs, and die of bleeding or death. Heart failure under extreme exhaustion.”

"Piercing the heart is part of the vampire legend, not the story recorded in the Bible, and has nothing to do with the twelve disciples. The victim who was crucified upside down should also die from brain congestion, not the heart being pierced. "

"Obviously, the person who did it either didn't read the story carefully, or didn't have the patience to wait for the other person to die slowly."

"If it were me, what I have is patience. I can spend a year setting up a scene where he is nailed to the bedroom for ten days without being found. This is the way of death that fits the background story."

"Not to mention, the murderer also used long nails to drive his head through. My God, when I think of him hammering people's heads with long nails, I feel horrified..."

"Your words always surprise me..." Batman commented.

"And, the biggest failure is, he used narcotics? God, if he is really a serial killer, then he should be crucified, this **** heretic has no point A sense of ritual..."

Seeing Schiller's dissatisfied expression, Batman didn't know what to say for a while.
