"Well, he's right."
Taking the time to take a look at Hallie's condition, she was no longer reading comic books, but fiddling with the big-ass TVs on those tables, and Su Ming continued to speak to the cat: "My opinion is that the fire started in the basement. ”"Huh?
Why do you all say that?
”The cat still maintains the posture of shaking its hands, but its eyes are a little wider, and it is not asking Batman this question, because it knows that bats have never been responsible for answering, so it is better to ask Death Knell directly.And there is nothing to hide from the cat, Su Ming smiled and sucked it as a reward, and replied: "I don't know where Batman judged it, but my evidence is the rubber ring next to the faucet in the bathroom, it melts not by open flames, but by heating and melting from the inside out, and this house uses old-fashioned cast iron water pipes, which are routed from the inside of the wall, iron metal is an excellent conductor of heat, and the intersection of all water pipes exposed to the air is very likely to be in the basement, That's where the main valve for the water supply is located. ”Under normal circumstances, because of the air flow, the flame generally goes upward, so there is basically no situation where the second floor starts first and then burns to the basement.In other words, there was a fire in the basement first, and the open flame heated the water pipe, and the water pipe conducted the heat into the bathroom on the second floor, melting the rubber gasket, and about five minutes after this incident, the open flame spread, and the interior of the bathroom was tiled, which greatly preserved the integrity of the clue.Of course, the premise is that Christopher's memories of these are true, but in this case, if he knows about the changes in the bathroom, it only adds to his suspicions.Maybe the main consciousness doesn't have an impression of these, but the subconscious has memories of the fire, which is simply a wolf jumping on the cards.However, there are other possibilities for the deformation of the window. ”Batman rarely explained the basis of his reasoning, but there was only one sentence, and when the cat looked at him with its eyes open, waiting for the next sentence, he stopped talking.Maybe it's because there's nothing to talk about, it belongs to the kind of ability that others know and can't learn, such as the summary of the law of wood deformation in combustion?
It's all detective stuff.Anyway, after he said this, he went down the stairs, and after passing the first floor, he didn't look at Christopher, who walked into the house with a cake, but went directly to the door where the basement was located.Not surprisingly, the door is locked, and most families with children are used to locking it so that children don't have any bumps in the dark basement.Is it also possible to avoid them from encountering bats, generating fear, and thus becoming Batman?
Well, this is a newly conceived cold joke in Su Ming's heart, so there is no need to say it."
Knock !!"
Batman kicked the door open, not caring about Christopher's feelings, and he didn't light a lamp, just walked straight into the darkness.There was only a glimmer of light in the dimly lit basement, and the small window was almost completely blocked by debris, a huge stack of cardboard boxes.Without a death knell reminder, Batman walked over to the cardboard box and opened one to check the contents."
It's not a corpse or ashes, it's just some rags."
The cat lost interest and pouted, and the feline's vision in the dark was not affected, let alone it was a nightmare."
It's not a simple torn clothes, it's bloody clothes."
Su Ming let out a laugh, and he motioned for Batman to pick up the clothes and show them: "For example, the shirt in the bat's hand is almost the same as that worn on a fat girl in her teens, and our victim's family doesn't have women of this size, oh, especially since there are seven or eight small holes in the chest of this shirt, I guess the murder weapon should be a screwdriver commonly used by workers?"
”Yes, don't think that Christopher's family was burned to death, he was a poor victim, and remember that he was a serial killer.Although in his daily life, he seems innocent and has a very good family, but after he was admitted to the hospital and turned into a vegetative state, didn't the Gotham Police Department find out that he was related to a serial murder case?
Although it is not ruled out that he has become a 'dumb' who has taken the blame, this possibility is too small, you must know that more than 20 years ago, the Gotham gang did not have to avoid people at all.Kill them, and they will admit them, what can you do?
It belongs to the degree that after the front foot speed car strafs the pedestrian, the back foot can stop and wait for the traffic light when it reaches the intersection, and by the way, while doing maintenance for the submachine gun, while chatting and laughing with the police on duty at the intersection.It's so arrogant, things are on the bright side, but no one can say anything more, otherwise why did Batman choose to act at night after his debut?
Choosing to use violence?
It was because at that time he was under the so-called 'order' during the day, and it could be said that it was difficult to move an inch.But speaking of which, it was also a simple era, during the period when the Eight Great Families ruled Gotham, even at the end of the reign era, when serial killers were considered crazy and perverted, but they did not have the white left treatment that is now regarded as a 'patient'.Batman put down the shirt in his hand and picked up another suit, looking at the holes and blackened blood stains on it."
The child is innocent."
It seems that he hadn't forgotten that Christopher was a serial killer, and he didn't even think to justify it, after all, there were so many large boxes in the basement that they were full of hard evidence.As soon as Batman got his hands on it, he knew that these were all clothes stripped off the dead man's body, and judging from the number of holes and the amount of bleeding, the person wearing these clothes should have been attacked by a screwdriver and a claw hammer, and the injuries were absolutely fatal."
Is that blood?"
The cat rubbed its eyes with its paws, and it became a little interested: "I thought the clothes were dark red, strange meow, why didn't I smell blood at all?"
”"It's like if you live in a trash can every day, you won't be able to smell the stench on your body after a long time."
Su Ming smiled and said dark words, his eyes fell on the boiler not far away, this is something that will only be used in winter, it is clean and clean, there is nothing: "If Christopher kills people every day and lives with blood every day, then in the dream world composed of his subconscious, of course, there is no smell of blood, for him, there is only fresh air, and the home is this natural taste." ”"And what about the owners of these clothes?"
The cat asked again."
Probably it was disposed of in the garage, right?
No need to look, no need to smell, I guessed. ”The death knell motions for the cat not to forget that there is a room in this home, and to think about why Christopher came home and parked his Ford car not in the garage, but on the side of the road.It was never his family of five at the scene, maybe when everyone was happily having a birthday party, there were undismembered corpses in the dark garage.As I said before, Christopher also killed, but after his family was killed, he couldn't accept it, so he went crazy, isn't it that he can't afford to lose, what else can he be?
Shouldn't a murderer have already been prepared to be killed?
Su Ming doesn't like such a half-murderer, so he doesn't approve of Batman's behavior of helping the other party solve the case, there are only torn clothes in these boxes, and there is no wallet, let alone the money inside.If Christopher used the money of his prey for his family, were his wife and children really innocent?
This is Gotham, don't forget that, the Dionysian factor has existed underground since the beginning of the city's existence, and the crazy factor has long seeped into the water veins, so it's right to think about things here in a dark direction.
