In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 573: Lex’s Journey to Gotham (Part 2)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
At this time, Batman was standing on the door frame, opposite him was Thomas, who was strangling Rex's neck with a ferocious expression, and on the side between the two, Coppert was holding a blood-stained dagger.
The cold lights flickered, and the scene where the four were located seemed to be frozen into a piece of ice. Time suddenly stopped and then began to reverse.
Bruce was already working in the study when the dim light of the early morning fell into the Wayne Manor. Study that model, but focus on his previous work.
He didn't forget that he was investigating the deaths of the Elliots before, and for this reason, he wanted to investigate Falcone.
However, the investigation of Falcone has reached an impasse, and everything in the city is related to him, but everything seems to have nothing to do with him.
This line of thinking stalled, so Bruce changed another line of thinking. He checked the scene again and collected a lot of detailed clues, and one of the clues that made him feel more concerned was that he photographed Ai Footprints of the Lyots.
It had just rained that day, and some mud and dust on the ground hadn't dried completely, so the information of tire marks and footprints could be collected.
The tire marks showed that the Elliotts parked the car on the main road, got out of the car and walked into the alley. Both belonged to normal walking. Judging from the stride length, the two were not in a hurry, and they were not anxious.
That is to say, they were not chased into the alley, nor were they forced or dragged into it, but walked in by themselves.
Bruce looked at the photo of the footprints, squinted his eyes, and began to picture the situation in his mind.
In a somewhat dark alley, two figures gradually walked towards the end of the alley. Bruce turned his head and found that there was nothing special about this alley. Opened a video store at the end of .
If the Elliotts had walked into the alley voluntarily, their target could only have been the video store.
However, the purpose of the Elliott couple's trip should be to go to the Falcone family. Why did they go to the video store?
Video stores usually sell tapes, and better records are not sold here. Falcone doesn't like this kind of thing.
As far as Bruce knows, the Elliott family is still unable to challenge the Falcone family, so even if the Elliotts get angry again and go to the Falcone family to meet the old godfather, they will definitely vote for him So, bring a gift that he likes.
The Elliott family has not yet reached the point where they can only buy low-quality gifts. Even if they want to buy records, they will definitely buy a good one, and they will not come to the video store to choose.
At this time, Bruce recalled a detail. At a certain party, Thomas once invited others to his house to listen to CD songs, saying that he had a machine for playing CDs at home and many CDs with recorded songs.
Finding the disc might be a clue, Bruce put down the materials in his hand and went to the video store at the end of the alley.
After entering the audio-visual store, Bruce discovered that there were not many CDs here, and the main products were tapes and records. After asking the boss, he found out that CDs were not in stock.
CDs did not become popular until the middle of the 1990s. Now it is the beginning of 1989. Therefore, CDs are still a rare thing. The boss will not buy them specially, because he is afraid that they will not be sold if he smashes them in his hands. If he wants to buy them , I want to place an order with him, and I will pick it up after the goods arrive.
Bruce chatted with the boss for a while, and said that he is also a CD lover and wanted to order a batch of goods from him. The boss was very enthusiastic and revealed a lot of information in words.
And just as Bruce expected, Thomas was the last person who ordered here, and the pick-up date he made an appointment was the day the Elliotts were killed.
The Elliott couple would walk into this alley, in fact, to pick up goods for their son, but they were shot and killed before they reached the video store.
At this point, the answer is ready to come out, but the only question is, what is the motive of the murderer?
The Thomas that Bruce knew was an ordinary person. He was kind-hearted, usually polite, his grades were in the upper middle, and he also liked to attend parties. He was a very common type of rich second generation.
As far as Bruce knows, the relationship between Thomas and his parents is not bad. After all, he is an only child, and his parents pay great attention to cultivating him. Both spiritual and material training are in place. I have never heard of any major conflicts between them. , he should have no reason to kill his parents.
In order to solve this mystery, Batman came to the Gotham Police Department, trying to find Gordon and interrogate Thomas again.
Batman told Gordon his inference about the deaths of the Elliotts. Gordon felt that what he said made sense. At the same time, he also noticed another mood. He said: "Do you think, The murder case in the boy's dormitory that put Thomas in prison before was solved a little too smoothly?"
"I rarely encountered such a simple case in Gotham. Even if the gangsters' methods are simple and rude, they are still very professional in getting rid of crimes, and the remaining lunatics will create all kinds of crimes. " Clues to guide people's sight..."
"Moreover, Thomas didn't resist when he was arrested. This is really rare in Gotham. If everyone was like him, Gotham's interrogation room wouldn't be so riddled with holes."
"If I hadn't checked his file and found out that he is a native of Gotham, I would never have believed that he would have been arrested and imprisoned so calmly."
Batman narrowed his eyes, and he said: "Unless, he deliberately created this incident, and wanted to use this incident to cover up other murders."
"When the Elliotts died, he was supposed to be in prison, and he had sufficient alibi. Therefore, even if I have some clues, I can't convict him with these clues."
Gordon frowned and said: "But it doesn't make sense. Murdering a member of a cheerleading troupe is murder, and murdering his parents is murder. He doesn't need to use one murder case to exonerate another murder case, because murder The sentencing of Eucalyptus is the same, even if the conviction for murdering one's own parents is heavier, the difference between the two is not too big."
"If he killed the members of the dance troupe to make an alibi, he may have to spend decades in prison Years, then why did he make an alibi? It’s the same prison anyway.”
"Unless, he is sure to reverse the previous incident of killing the members of the cheerleading dance troupe." Batman speculated: "Remember? Not long after Doris was killed, there was another A member of the dance troupe was killed, followed by a third..."
"This looks very much like a serial murder case. The murderer Thomas in the first case was imprisoned, but the case continues and the victims continue to appear. Some people will think that Thomas is wronged. It was the serial murderer who continued to commit crimes outside."
Gordon covered his forehead and said, "Indeed, everyone is now saying that this is a serial murder case, after all, the characteristics are too obvious."
But Batman shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, this is not a serial murder case."
"How do you know?" Gordon asked. This eucalyptus perfectly fits these characteristics?"
Batman shook his head and said, "Did Schiller tell you that in a real serial murder case, there will be connections between each case, and the murderer will deliberately create these connections."
While Gordon was thinking, Batman said: "And the murderers of these eucalyptus are desperately eliminating evidence. They are different from those perverted lunatics. They kill people not for enjoyment, but for killing."
"I think Thomas should have accomplices. When he was imprisoned for a murder, his accomplices continued to make murders outside, so that he could be exonerated."
At this time, an unexpected visitor visited the police station. It was Harvey Dent. When he walked into Gordon's office, Gordon walked up to him and hugged him, saying, "Long time no see, you Are you back from vacation?"
"Yes, in fact, I was called back, guess who called me back?"
"Who?"
"The lawyers of the Elliott family, they want me to defend their master, Thomas Elliott, and plead his innocence."
"Sure enough." Batman said in a low voice: "Is their defense argument based on the fact that the murder of members of the cheer dance troupe should be a serial murder. After we arrested Thomas, the incident was still happening. So it means that he is not a murderer."
Harvey raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know? His statement is exactly the same as yours ~IndoMTL.com~ Will the defense succeed?" Gordon asked.
"If I make a move, it is indeed possible." Harvey was not humble, but said truthfully.
"This is a bit troublesome." Gordon frowned, looking a little stressed, but at this moment, a police officer rushed into his office and shouted:
"Sheriff! No good! Thomas Elliot escaped during the transfer from the police station to the prison!"
Several people paused for a moment, and Gordon immediately asked: "Why? Why did he escape from prison? Isn't he going to defend himself?"
Obviously, several people have thought about it. If Thomas refuses to admit it and finds a lawyer to defend him and get rid of the crime, then he should stay there honestly and wait for the legal means to take effect. Now he directly escaped from prison violently. , he lost all chances of defense, which is equivalent to admitting that he was responsible for the murder.
This behavior of his is inconsistent, so several people don't quite understand why, but Batman knows that he has to stop Thomas and stop a crazy murderer from running around the city.
So, following the clues provided by the police station, he found the place where Thomas escaped from prison.
The process of Thomas' escape from prison was not smooth. His head was broken and his ankle was twisted, so he left many marks. Batman followed these marks and chased him to the experiment at Gotham University. Lou, ran into Lux and Copperpot.
At this time, Thomas, who was strangling Rex, said something amazing:
"I'm not here to kill people! I'm here to protect my fiancée!"
"There's a crazy serial killer at work! She's in danger!
