The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1187 The Cry of the Lamb ([-])
"There have been three cases of missing persons in the central city recently. The families of the missing people gathered at the gate of the scenic spot in the central city to protest the inaction of the police, saying that the lack of police force is not an excuse..."

"The 'bone-eating devil' in the seaside city is going to attack again. A 26-year-old female teacher was found in a wooden house in the suburbs and her ribs were taken away. The police are doing their best to investigate, and no effective clues to identify the suspect have been found yet..."

"People, please don't panic, people, please don't panic, Imperial City police forces have been fully deployed to search for the 'street light killer', and the criminal investigation team of the FBI in Pennsylvania has fully invested in this case..."

"The 'Human Skin Hunter' in California has been brought to justice, and the seven skinning cases it committed can be regarded as the most cruel and crazy cases in the criminal history of California. Next, our reporter will report the incident in detail for you..."

With a "click", he pressed the switch of the radio with one hand. Gordon withdrew his hand and pressed it on the corner of his brow. He sighed helplessly and exclaimed: "What's wrong? The whole world started Gotham melted?"

"Boss, the news in the last week is really weird. Every state is reporting on serial killers. When I turned on the radio, I thought I was tuned to the wrong station, and it was tuned to a local station in Gotham."

A young police officer was sitting on his desk and sorting out the materials, shaking his head and said, a female police officer next to him put down the phone in her hand, and said with some surprise: "In the past week, it seems that there have been more There are quite a few serial killers, the police force in many areas is insufficient, and some places call us, saying that we have experience and want to learn from it.”

"Where did this group of people come from?" The young male police officer asked puzzledly, "And how could they commit crimes like crazy at the same time?"

Gordon also frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "This is definitely not a coincidence. From my many years of working experience, although there are many serial murders in various places every year, but such a dense time of incidents, I don't think it's a coincidence. It’s the first time I’ve encountered it.”

The female police officer grinned and said, "Besides, this group of serial killers is much crazier than before. In the past, they were able to do three or four cases, which can be called a brilliant record. But this time, serial killers in several states Killers, killing seven or eight people at every turn, and the methods are extremely cruel, as if they are afraid that others will not know how cruel they are."

Gordon sighed. Although he didn't continue to speak, he had already made up his mind in his heart. He had to go to Batman and ask what was going on.

It was late at night, Gordon finished all the work for the day, took the car keys, and planned to drive to Wayne Manor to find Bruce, but just as he was about to walk out the door, a dark figure appeared behind him.

"Batman, every time you come here, you scare me a lot." Gordon shook his head, then turned to look at Batman standing in the shadow of the room.

What surprised Gordon was that Batman was in a very bad state. His body was covered in rain, his face was as pale as if he had lost too much blood, and even his eyes seemed a little hollow.

"Have you paid attention to the recent news?" Batman's deep voice sounded, and before Gordon could answer, he said to himself: "Serial murders occur frequently in many places, the number of murderers and the number of crimes, in short It doubled more than ten times in just one week."

"Of course I heard about it." Gordon walked back to his seat and sat down. He took out a few documents, threw them on the table and said, "I wanted to go to you and ask if you knew about this What's going on, it seems that you don't know."

"It's about Schiller," Batman said.

Hearing Schiller's name, Gordon's face froze for a moment. He sighed with a complicated expression, and said, "He's only been away for a week, and I thought it had been a year."

After finishing speaking, Gordon leaned forward, took a pen from the table, fiddled with it in his hand, and said, "I know Schiller is guilty. It just goes to show that this city is not normal and criminals must pay for their flouting of the law."

"But I don't think Schiller should be put in a heavy crime prison with such a long sentence. Batman, you don't want to know how prisoners are treated in that kind of prison."

"I know, you are all dissatisfied." Batman said: "You think that Schiller did not get a fair trial, and I, as his most valued student, did not fight for him."

Gordon shook his head lightly and said, "No one has the responsibility to fight for another person. It's just that I'm worried that hatred for criminals may affect your criteria for judging justice."

Gordon glanced at Batman again, seeing that he was not in a good state, so he didn't continue talking.

"Schiller was the head of these serial killers, he was the founder of a secret club that gave these serial killers a stage to show themselves ... he was their shepherd."

After Batman's voice fell, Gordon clenched his hand suddenly. He looked back at Batman and said, "You mean, it was Schiller who drove these serial killers to commit crimes?"

"On the contrary." Batman stared into Gordon's eyes and said, "It is precisely because Schiller is gone that this group of serial killers will commit crimes like crazy."

Gordon froze for a moment, he didn't react for a moment, but soon Batman said: "Yesterday, Jonathan Klein, who is also a serial killer, found me and asked me if I knew the whereabouts of Schiller."

"When I told him that Schiller was in prison, he was very excited, and then he told me that once the serial killers think that the owner of this club will not appear again, they will spontaneously start competing."

"When the flock loses its shepherd, all the sheep want to be the leader." Batman's face was serious, and his tone was still very low, he said, "Just yesterday, I learned that Schiller has been something you're doing."

"What's the matter?" Gordon asked.

"Schiller is saving the world."

"what????!"

Gordon stared at Batman with wide eyes, as if he didn't know him, he thought he heard it wrong, just when he opened his mouth to ask again, Batman explained:

"Last night, after Jonathan left, I started investigating information about this mysterious club..."

Accompanied by Batman's narration, the lights of Wayne Manor were slowly turned on, and looking through the bright pane, Bruce was meditating at the desk in the study.

In front of him were stacks of newspapers, the dates even dating back to two years ago. He spread out each newspaper on the table, and after reading it and put it away, he recorded all the contents in his mind.

After about three hours of comparison and sorting, Bruce found that the clues of the so-called newspapers that Jonathan gave him might be tricking him, and there were no usable clues in these newspapers.

At this point in reasoning and investigation, even if Bruce didn't want to use it, he had to start using exhaustive methods.

Bruce searched through keywords such as Schiller, newspaper, serial killer, and all the words derived from these words in his mind. This process took him about two hours.

Just when he retrieved the vocabulary related to the newspaper, Bruce suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a key word, that is "paper".

It just so happened that when Angela was reading Bruce's thesis at Wayne Manor, she printed out a copy. Bruce found the printed copy of his own graduation thesis from the Department of Psychology, and began to recall the time when he created this thesis.

Of course, during the period when he was writing the thesis, the memory with the highest proportion was the constant torture with Schiller, making revisions to some of the thesis's subtle flaws.

Among them, the most troublesome thing for Bruce is the symbol.

English writing uses half-width symbols, but many separators must be followed by half-width spaces, and improper use of commas, separators, and connectors will change the semantics, but long and difficult sentences without separators are prone to language problems, and the use of symbols is also Important content of English grammar class.

Bruce's grammar is pretty good, but everyone who has written a paper knows that when you're dizzy, it's good to remember the clauses. It's normal to lose a space here and a separator there.

On the issue of symbols alone, Schiller and Bruce have fought at least hundreds of rounds. Sometimes the symbols are changed, and after the content is changed in large sections, the new content and symbols have to be changed again. Well, because the sentence expression is improper, the symbols have to be changed again.

During this process, Bruce fully understood Schiller's habit of using symbols, and if one reads certain articles in newspapers or magazines according to Schiller's habit, it is obvious that the use of some symbols is wrong.

The usual regional daily newspapers and some less formal magazines actually do not have such strict requirements for manuscripts, which are completely different from the requirements for academic papers. It is normal for symbols to appear wrong, and not everyone has a Schiller with them Later, ask them to use each symbol correctly.

But if you look at the connection between this symbol error and Schiller's club and the possible serial murderer together, then the symbol is likely to be an important clue.

After Bruce put all the newspapers and magazines together for repeated comparisons, he found that the symbols in many articles were wrong, and they were really regular.

These reports are not only about criminal cases, but also some messy content, such as advertisements that can be paid for, gossip news, citizen complaints, nutrition science popularization and so on.

Bruce speculates that serial killers are just publishing articles with similar wrong symbols to newspapers or magazines, so as to pass the law of wrong symbols to inform serial killers who also know about it.

And Schiller may have released different new codes by changing the rules of symbol errors to avoid the prying of some interested people.

"Through deciphering the rules of symbol errors, I learned the content of their communication, and I discovered a fact that shocked me." In Gordon's office, Batman's tone trembled, and he continued:
"Schiller is not encouraging these serial killers, but controlling them, even preventing them from killing, he is saving ordinary people."

Gordon, who was listening to him, slowly widened his eyes, and he said to Batman in an extremely absurd tone: "Do you know what you are talking about??! A club among serial killers, how can it stop them from killing people?" ??!"

"Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?" Batman shook his head slightly.

"But the fact is that Schiller has formulated a series of criteria for judging serial killers. Only serial killers who meet this standard can be called serial killers with talent and taste."

"This standard includes, but is not limited to, that every serial murder case should have its own theme. Massacres without thought are excluded. If there are not enough thoughts, it will not work. Only cruelty and blood have no soul."

The corner of Batman's mouth turned down, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said, "He created an academic circle of serial killers, and set extremely strict standards for this circle."

"He used his cruel, ruthless but extremely self-consistent horror theories to require serial killers to treat each case seriously and meticulously, requiring them to use a perfect serial murder case to prove their academic status. "

"And in order to complete the perfect serial murder case in his mouth, this group of murderers had to spend several years thinking about a perfect theme, and then spend a few more years to find a perfect victim."

"Then spend a few more years to formulate a perfect crime plan, and finally spend a few more years to put this plan into practice, and then spend the rest of your life savoring this perfect serial murder case."

"Becoming the perfect serial killer in Schiller's eyes has become their lifelong pursuit. He established a new society and shaped new rules for these lunatics who are inherently abnormal, have no sense of morality and shame, and make them I am ashamed of my indiscriminate killing."

Batman slowly closed his eyes, he raised his head slightly, his tone of voice trembled slightly, his pale face was precisely because the trap he had imagined was deep enough, but there was a deeper abyss .

"He used these serial killers' thirst for recognition and perception, and cast them into iron chains that bound them, pulling their actions."

"He let the lunatics shout unscrupulously in the silence that ordinary people can't see. While controlling them, he made them love him, shout his name, and sing his praises."

"And his actions actually saved countless victims who should have died due to the unrestrained massacre..."

Batman lowered his head again, the hazy and dreamy moonlight was still in front of him, and Schiller's deep voice, his voice and Schiller's voice gradually overlapped together.

"He knows that after he's gone, these crazy people out of control will make me understand what he's done."

"It makes me understand that he is not destroying, but saving, and he has done better than me, saved more than me, and has gone further on this road than me."

"Let me know that he is not a criminal, but a real educator."

"He wants to use this to make me love him, respect him, walk on the path he wants to lead me to, and become his tame lamb willingly."
