Chapter 3044 Mercury Notes (Thirty)
After understanding the basic situation, Schiller naturally began to investigate according to the traditional process.
First, investigate the cause of death of the body. Schiller does not need to go to see it in person. The artificial intelligence housekeeper of this base can directly scan it, and all the physical signs of the body will appear on the holographic projection screen.
The cause of death is a ruptured heart. Although it is a sea creature, it cannot withstand a broken heart. Because the murderer's actions are very straightforward, it can even be said that it is a miracle with great strength. The victim did not suffer any pain or struggle, and died directly.
The crime scene in the small classroom is the first crime scene. On the one hand, it is almost impossible to move the body under adverse circumstances. On the other hand, the investigation of blood shows no traces of dragging or transfer.
The murder weapon was not found. Artificial intelligence is powerful enough to completely figure out all the items in the entire base. He confirmed that no part of any item can cause such a wound. Even if he scanned the students directly, he did not find anything on them that could cause such a wound.
Schiller found that the situation of this case was very strange, because the victim and the murderer were likely to be superpowers, and some conditions that could restrict ordinary people could not restrict them.
But the detectives were not to be outdone. The AI housekeeper had a perverted control over the base, and could be called a super detective who handled the case seriously.
Such a strong duel could be said to be very exciting, and it would be even better if I were sitting in the audience.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful AI was, it was not a detective. In order to ensure that there would be no intelligent crisis at the Mercury base, Stark did not install an emotional module for this AI at all, nor did he deliberately imitate the human way of thinking, so it could only be regarded as a computing machine, and it was not possible to expect it to reason.
Bruce was watching the video surveillance, mainly analyzing whether the behavior of several students who had come to this floor was abnormal.
At this time, Schiller checked the timeline of these students in his mind.
At 12:05, Bono left the elevator and went to the small classroom first. The surveillance camera in the small classroom was broken.
At 12:07, Claude and Gonzalez took the second elevator to the small classroom. At this time, Bono had not left the small classroom, and the three of them stayed in the small classroom together.
At 12:10, the sisters and Blue Beetle Ted arrived by elevator. After getting off the elevator, they had some differences of opinion. Ted seemed to want to check the small classroom first, while the sisters thought they should go to the large classroom first. They stood at the elevator door and discussed for a while, and finally went straight to the large classroom.
12:11, Bono, Claude and Gonzalez in the small classroom left the small classroom and went to the large classroom.
12:12, Jenna's brother Zan arrived, and he didn't pay any attention to the small classroom at all, and went straight to the large classroom.
At 12:12, everyone gathered in the large classroom. The surveillance camera showed that they were just rummaging in the large classroom, occasionally asking each other what they wanted to find and what they found, and there was no abnormality in the conversation.
After searching for about three minutes, Blue Beetle and the sisters found what they wanted.
12:15, Blue Beetle Ted and the sisters left the large classroom and left the floor through the stairs.
The remaining four people were not satisfied with what they wanted to find, and searched for another two minutes.
At 12:17, Bono suddenly said that he had not looked through the books in the small classroom properly just now, and there might be something he liked there, so he proposed to look through it again, and then left the large classroom and went to the small classroom.
The remaining three boys said a few words to each other, but their opinions diverged. Claude and Gonzalez felt that what Bono said made sense. Since they were here, if they didn't find anything satisfactory in the large classroom, they could go to the small classroom to look for it.
But Zan seemed to think that it was a waste of time to look for it here again, and he said he was going to go back first.
At 12:18, Claude and Gonzalez left the large classroom and went to the small classroom, where Bono was still.
Zan seemed unwilling to give up, and looked through the large classroom again, squatting by the window and rummaging through boxes and cabinets, making the large classroom a mess.
At 12:20, Zan left the large classroom and went upstairs along the stairs.
At 12:23, Claude and Gonzalez seemed to have not found anything satisfactory in the small classroom. Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, the two hurriedly left the small classroom and got on the elevator.
Bonu never came out again.
Because the students were scattered at that time, Victor did not count the number of people after they came back, and started the class directly.
After class, because he had to collect the experimental products that were deformed due to pressure, Victor found that Bonu did not hand in his homework. He wanted to ask what happened, but found that he was missing.
The reason why he did not check people all the time was that everyone was already college students, and under the control of strong artificial intelligence, no dangerous places could be entered. Victor did not need to worry so much, but who knew that someone really disappeared.
He asked all the students, and the students paired up with each other and found that Claude and Gonzalez were the last people to see Bonu, and the location was in the small classroom on this floor, so a group of people came to the small classroom.
Victor was a Gotham native and experienced. He knew that if a person disappeared for so long in Gotham, he would probably be dead. He was worried that all the students would rush in and destroy the crime scene, so he simply brought everyone to the large classroom, and indeed saw Bonu's body through the glass.
From this point of view, Claude and Gonzalez, who saw Bonu last, are the most suspicious. After all, there are only two people, and it is not so credible to testify against each other.
However, these two people also have very strong evidence to prove that they did not do it. The reason is actually very simple. These two people can't beat Bonu at all.
Claude is better. After all, he is a magician, but he is also a freshman who just went to school last year. He has not yet reached the stage of mastering magic. He can kill a chicken with those few attack methods, but it is a bit difficult to kill a well-trained ordinary human.
Not to mention Gonzalez. He does have war experience, otherwise he would not be selected here, but let alone hot weapons, he doesn't even have a knife for self-defense. He is pure bare-handed.
Bonu is the product of the combination of powerful sea tribes. He has also received military training from his father since he was a child. He can fight Mera with a trident. Even if he doesn't rely on water control magic, he can fight back and forth with Wonder Woman in the fighting class, which shows how strong she is.
It is true that if you try your best, you can kill her, but it is impossible to kill her with no resistance at all.
There is no sign of fighting in the room, and Bonu's footprints are very clear. She didn't even have a defensive posture and died directly.
And the wound went from the front to the back, which means it was a frontal kill, not a back attack, which is a bit too difficult.
Diana confirmed this point. She completely denied the possibility that Claude and Gonzalez could kill Bonu together. The two sides were not in the same weight class at all. Bonu beat them like playing.
At this time, it was time for Schiller to appear.
Because although it seems unlikely that these two people will do anything to Bonu now, maybe they are hiding their strength? Maybe someone else is borrowing their power? Maybe their memory has been modified and deleted?
It's so uncertain about superpowers.
At this time, the students' information has basically been exchanged, and the content of Schiller's class is also passed on by word of mouth. They also want to know how this master of psychology works.
Considering that it was a bit noisy with a large group of people in the classroom, Clark waved his hand and took everyone out, leaving only Schiller and a few suspects.
Arthur used water to make a water prison to prevent the murderer from suddenly attacking and hurting people. Each person was in a cell and did not disturb each other. Whoever dared to take action would be the first kill of the Justice League.
In the small classroom, Bonu's body was moved to the utility room opposite, which was converted into a temporary autopsy room. Although the wound was simple, the procedures had to be followed. Bruce acted as a forensic doctor and Oliver helped on the side.
The small classroom became the observation room for students. Although it was smaller than the large classroom, it was a bit crowded to squeeze in more than 100 people, but it could still fit.
There were a total of six suspects, and six cages were lined up. The three on the left were Claude, Gonzalez and Blue Beetle, and the three on the right were Zane and the Atlantis sisters.
In order to prevent forgetting, I will repeat the superpowers of these people again.
Claude is a novice wizard who knows little magic. The spells he has mastered include small fireball and short-distance flash.
Gonzalez is an ordinary human. He is proficient in fighting with hot weapons and jungle.
Blue Beetle Ted inherited an alien weapon, the Blue Beetle, from his teacher, but because he is far inferior to his teacher, the Blue Beetle does not listen to him.
Zan and his twin sister are in telepathy. Jenna can turn into an animal, and he can turn into water.
Atlantis sisters. They are also humanoid, can perform simple water control spells, and their physical skills are not bad, but they are not as good as Bonu.
Schiller began to pace in front of the six cages.
Now we have not started the process of psychoanalysis, because the motive and result of this case are not important, the method is the key.
It is true that psychoanalysis can indeed see the answer, but it still requires serious thinking to figure out the method.
Schiller asked the six people again about their respective time and activity range, and it can be confirmed that no one is lying.
Schiller then focused on asking Claude and Gonzalez. In fact, he didn't want to waste this time, but after all, it was a task assigned to him by the Justice League, so it didn't hurt to ask.
And the facts proved that the two did not lie. They did not hide their strength, their memories were not touched, and no one lent them power to prompt them to take action.
The situation became more and more confusing.
But at this time, Schiller did not see the six cages again, but passed them and came to the glass of the classroom, looking at the glass, and focusing on the cardboard box that was blocked by a corner of the glass because it was overturned.
He ignored the suspects in the room, but went out directly to the corridor and opened the door of the utility room.
Bruce, who was doing the autopsy, looked at him blankly, but Schiller ignored him and looked at the wall between the utility room and the power distribution room, which also had a glass on this wall.
In other words, the layout of this corridor is actually symmetrical, with two rooms, one large and one small, on both sides, and there is a glass on the wall between the large room and the small room.
After asking AI, I learned that originally both sides were laboratories. Later, after some adjustments, one side became a power distribution room and utility room, and the other side became a large classroom and a small classroom.
However, the difference is that the power distribution room has windows.
Although it was a vacuum environment outside, it was nothing to these superhumans.
After reading all this, Schiller already knew the method of committing the crime.
He returned to the classroom, still pacing slowly, until he stopped in front of one of the cages, looked up and said, "Hello, murderer."
To everyone's surprise, the person in the cage was Blue Beetle Ted.
Let's see if anyone can figure out what happened.
