Chapter 3002 The green trees are dense and the summer is long (thirty-six)

"Oh my god, who are you?!"

Schiller was not surprised when he heard a scream. He turned around and saw a red-haired woman, but he was a little afraid to recognize her because she was too old compared to the photo.

Although ten years have passed, this woman seems to have aged 30 years out of thin air. Her red curly hair, which was neatly tied up in the photo, is now messy and draped on both sides of her face. Her cheekbones are completely sunken, so

The nasolabial folds are extremely obvious, not like a mature man at all, but like an old woman.

The man pushing the wheelchair is not as healthy and strong as in the photo. He is so thin that his shoulders are at right angles. He does not have a wheat-colored complexion, but is very pale, and his thick brown hair is gone.

Schiller was at a loss for words. The man seemed to want to rush into the house to get a gun. Schiller had to say: "Don't be afraid. Robbers who don't break into houses will choose to wear suits. That will give them heatstroke."

Only then did the man notice the suit on Schiller's body. It was obvious that he had been an elite, and a quick glance revealed that the suit was expensive.

"Are you a gangster?" He was still a little wary. After all, he was a native of Gotham. When he saw a man in a suit appearing in his house, his first reaction was that he was a gangster.

"I don't think gangsters would recruit people like me. My shooting skills are terrible." Schiller sat on the sofa and put his business card on the coffee table. The man hesitated, but it was too hot outside, so he had no choice but to

He pushed his wife into the house.

He pushed the wheelchair farther away from the sofa, and walked over cautiously. Without getting very close, he could see the title of Professor of Psychology at Gotham University written on the business card.

Schiller is indeed a very famous psychologist, but most ordinary people don't care about psychologists, and they can't tell who the most famous psychologist is today. What men care more about is the position of professor at Gotham University.

.

"Are you a professor at Gotham University? You... why are you here?"

Just as the man was about to say something, Schiller continued: "James Gordon asked me to come. He was worried that you would do something stupid, but I came too early. It was very hot outside, so I had to enter your house first."

"But now it's outside... well, it's really hot in what you're wearing. Did he ask you to comfort us?"

"That's right. He knows that you may not be able to accept this bad news."

"We just can't accept it!" The man raised his voice and said, "Our child is dead, but the police station doesn't even have a suspect's name! How can we accept this?!"

"Don't worry, that's why I'm here." Schiller buttoned up his suit and stood up and said, "You know Gordon is a responsible police chief. If he really has no clues, he won't

I will notify you so early.”

The man was stunned for a moment, then stared at Schiller closely.

"Do you know what the police department would do if they caught a suspect?"

"Let him go to jail?"

"Yes, but that's all." Schiller sighed and said, "This is the limit of what the law can do. Do you think it's enough?"

The man pursed his lips tightly, then waved his arms and said: "Our son is dead, but the damn cruel murderer is still alive! But...but what can we do?"

"I said, if the police catch the suspect, he will go to jail, but what if the police can't catch him?"

The man was completely stunned. Before he could turn around, he said urgently: "How can they not arrest him! This is their responsibility, they must..."

Then he came to his senses and asked tentatively: "You mean, the police can only let him go to jail, but I can..."

"No." He said pessimistically: "I don't know who he is or where he is. How can I catch him?"

"Then why am I here?"

The man suddenly looked over, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he rushed to Schiller and said: "You mean you know where he is? Do you know where the damn guy is?!!"

The woman suddenly screamed crazily. She kept banging the armrests of the wheelchair. The man rushed over and spent a lot of effort to calm his wife down.

"This is exactly what I am going to tell you. Do you remember the elementary school and middle school your son went to? Why were these two schools demolished?"

This was not a problem, the man realized immediately, but he still instinctively replied: "They said it was poor management..."

"Suddenly running poorly after your son disappeared?"

The man slowly opened his mouth, then suddenly coughed violently. He couldn't stand up straight while holding on to the back of the chair. He slowly fell to his knees, covered his face and began to cry.

"Buffa's death may be the key." Schiller began to pace around the room and said: "There may have been some missing children in the school before, but people only thought it was an ordinary missing child case. They may have been lost or lost.

Wandered into the lake by mistake, or fell off the cliff."

"But Buffa is different, because as soon as he disappeared, the school was demolished urgently, which means someone discovered something, so they had to destroy the body quickly to prevent the matter from being exposed."

The man seemed to suddenly remember something. He said: "Pari...that is my wife, she is the physical education teacher of the community primary school. I remember that she was not in a good mood a few days before our son disappeared. It seemed that she was in a bad mood with the school.

Someone had a fight..."

"Do you know who it is with?"

"I don't know, she didn't elaborate." The man shook his head and said, then his expression became complicated and he said: "My wife is not in good spirits. If you want to get clues from her, I'm afraid...

"

"Remember my major?"

Suddenly there was a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. He looked at his wife, then at Schiller, and then said: "I don't know much about psychology, but I know that psychotherapy is effective, but the cost is too high."

It’s too expensive…”

"This is free, sir, because there is obviously a lack of conclusive evidence. If we can find clues from your wife's memory, it will be enough to pay for your consultation."

"Okay." The man gathered his courage and said with clenched fists: "If she feels uncomfortable, stop, but I think she will definitely be willing to tell you."

After Schiller made some preparations, he started his hypnosis. Just like looking for answers in Nygma's memory, he once again entered the mother's spiritual world.

Finally, he got the most definite clue since the investigation, because he saw Mr. Nygma's face in Pali's memory - he was the principal of Polokin Community Middle School at the time.

Moreover, Pari saw his method of committing crimes.

At that time, as the principal, Nygma could not hide his desire to do evil, but he was also worried that something going wrong in the school would affect his future, so he chose not to do anything in the school.

The primary school department does not have a separate principal, but is still managed by him. He will play games with the children during recess to get closer to them, and then pull some children aside to inquire about the teacher's teaching level.

Some of them are normal inquiries, but he will make an appointment with other children, specifically those who have a good relationship with him and like to hang around him, to go on adventures somewhere.

This place is usually not very far from the school, but because the school is located on the edge of the forest, he always tells his children to wait for him on a path in the forest near the school on weekends.

As for how to ensure that the child does not tell his parents and goes out alone on the day off, Pari doesn't know, but Schiller knows that the child's mind is not fully developed and can easily be manipulated by adults. If someone is deliberate, these are not difficult.

.

To put it bluntly, some children are smart and will not be fooled, but among so many students there are always those who are not smart enough and they just need to be screened out.

At that time, Pari actually didn't know what Mr. Nygma was going to do. She thought the children were naughty and pestered the principal to take them to the forest to play. But the principal couldn't stand their troubles, so he agreed to them.

But Pari is a very responsible physical education teacher. She knows that it is one thing to play on a gentle slope with some small trees, but it is another thing to really go deep into the forest, so she came to the principal's office to dissuade Mr. Nygma.

According to Pari's recollection, when she mentioned this matter, Nygma showed a surprised expression. He seemed not to have expected that anyone heard his conversation with the children.

Not long after that, Pari's son Buffa, who was also studying in a community primary school, disappeared, and Pari was also diagnosed with mental illness.

Does it sound familiar? Edward, Pari, and Miss Rich all had exactly the same experiences. They all discovered certain clues and were diagnosed with mental illness.

This makes it impossible for the police to ask any valuable clues from their mouths, because they speak incoherently. Even if they ask some questions, the court will not admit the testimony of the mentally ill, and naturally there is no way to use legal means to punish them.

them.

It's a pity that they didn't expect that there was someone like Schiller who could dig out the truth from the chaotic brains of mental patients.

After exploring Pari's brain, Schiller highly suspected that Edward's uncle, Mr. Nygma, had a background in psychology education, and that there were artificial factors in the madness of Edward, Miss Rich, and Pari.

It is much easier to drive a person crazy than to cure a mentally ill person. With a little guidance, some people who are not determined enough will easily doubt themselves.

But there is still a doubt, that is, Schiller feels that whether it is Edward who was supposed to be the Riddler, the determined and stubborn Miss Rich, or the kind and responsible Pally, they are not the kind to be easily affected by hypnosis.

people.

Again, hypnosis is not that magical. It cannot fundamentally change a person's personality. If it could really turn an evil person into a kind person through hypnosis, then the psychiatrist could change his name to Jesus.

None of the above three people are hesitant, timid or not smart enough. How did Mr. Nygma drive all three of them crazy?

Before, Schiller investigated this case just because he had nothing to do, but now he became deeply curious.

Because even if he doesn't use any supernatural powers, he is not completely sure that he can turn these three people into what they are now. If the mysterious Mr. Nygma has this ability, how come he doesn't have a place among Gotham's super criminals?

When it came to academic issues, Schiller had no choice but to take it seriously. He had a hunch that this was not a simple child abuse case, and there should be a deeper secret hidden behind it.

Ah sneeze!
