The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 569 Typical Murder Case (Part 2)

With a "bang", Thomas dropped the suitcase. He ran over in a hurry, and then opened the door completely.

When Lex walked over, he saw a beautiful girl lying in a pool of blood, her chest was pierced, and she was no longer breathing.

She was wearing a cheerleading outfit, with delicate makeup painted on her face, and in the handbag scattered in her hand, there were also various makeup cosmetics, all of which were soaked in blood at this time.

Not far from the corpse, a blood-stained javelin was thrown aside. Judging from the wound, the javelin should be the murder weapon.

"Call the police!" Lex took two steps back, his face was a little pale, and he said, "How can people die here? And..."

Lex looked up and saw the door plate, which said 404, that is to say, this is the dormitory next door to him, and on the first day he just came, someone died here, Lex turned his head to show a trace of disgust, It seemed that he didn't want to look at the crime scene more.

Thomas regarded his expression as fear, so he stood up, took two steps back, and stood in front of Lex, he said: "You are a foreigner, so you don't understand, it's useless to call the police here, the police don't care about anything No."

"She should be a member of the cheerleading squad. How could she die here? Isn't this the boys' dormitory?" Thomas said to himself with some doubts.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairs, Thomas immediately turned around vigilantly, and Lex also turned to look at the place where the sound came from.

The one who came up was Bruce Wayne.

He squinted his eyes and kept a straight face. Before Thomas could speak, he said, "Who is it? What's the noise? What time is it now? Why don't people sleep?!"

He closed his eyes, sighed, and looked like he hadn't woken up. Thomas hurried up and came to the stairs. The light was brighter, and Bruce saw Thomas' face clearly. He said, "Oh, Thomas is you Ah, I thought some freshman was throwing a party here."

Thomas turned back, waved to Lex and said, "Let me introduce you, this is the famous Bruce Wayne, who is also your senior."

"Are you Wayne?" Lex asked as he came out of the darkness. Bruce's expression didn't change the moment he saw him, but he raised his head and said, "Yes, I am Wayne, and you are a first-year student." Freshman, did you make the noise just now?"

"I warn you, you'd better know some rules, don't have a party when I'm resting, otherwise, I'll make you look good!"

Lex stepped forward, held out a hand and said, "Hi, I'm Lex, Lex Luthor."

Bruce looked him in the eyes, but instead of shaking his hand, he said, "Luthor? You're from the Luthers? I almost forgot about you. What are you doing in Gotham? Go back to your big brother." will go!"

"I never knew that Wayne actually regarded himself as the leader of Gotham, and you didn't pick a better city, does that make you proud?" Lex shot back.

"Wait a minute! Stop arguing!" Thomas hurriedly walked between the two, separated them, and then turned his head to look at the scene of the crime. He said, "A murder has just happened here. Whoever you are, go and call the teacher." !"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lex, seeing his well-groomed red hair, and well-maintained hands that seemed to have never touched housework, his expression changed slightly, but then He just said, "Lex is a freshman, so he probably doesn't know any teachers, Bruce, you go."

"No, the teacher at the freshman registration office just now is quite kind, I'll go find him." Lex said.

But just when Lex was about to leave, Bruce stretched out a hand to stop him, and pushed him on the shoulder, almost pushing him to the ground, Bruce said: "Stay here, it's up to you It's more suitable for you to go home and cry with your parents."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Thomas helped Lex and said, "Don't mind, he is a little irritable sometimes, just get used to it."

Lex tilted his head and said, "Thank you, if you weren't the first one I met, I would have thought Gotham people were so unfriendly."

"Ah, not all of them. At least the students in this school are all okay. By the way, it seems that your health is a bit unwell. Sorry for the offense, you..."

"I have some genetic diseases, so my physical strength is very poor, and my father didn't let me go out before, so I didn't have much chance to exercise." Lex leaned on the wall of the corridor and said.

"Then why did you leave Metropolis this time? As far as I know, Metropolitan University is much better than Gotham University."

"Two months ago, my father passed away, and his former lovers frequently came to my door, which annoyed me, and I was impatient to be asked about things by his business partners, so I simply hid here gone."

Thomas showed a look of sudden realization, then made a sad expression, and said, "My condolences will change."

Lex shook his head, but his expression let Thomas know that he might not have a good relationship with his father either.

But Thomas, who was born in a famous family, also knows that such a big family rarely has a simple family relationship. Lex's parents are both dead, but it also means that he has inherited all the property of the Luthor family, just like Bruce. Same as Wayne.

Thinking of this, Thomas' expression changed again, but soon, hurried footsteps sounded from the stairs, and several girls ran up, the one in the lead was very beautiful, and she was wearing the same cheerleader uniform as the dead girl, with even Also holding cheerleading balls.

Seeing the face of the deceased, the girl wailed, then hurried over, knelt beside the corpse and said, "Doris! How could this happen?!"

"Christine, do you know her?" Thomas asked.

"Of course! She's Doris from Gotham University's cheerleading troupe, and we've just finished rehearsals, and we haven't even had time to change..."

"Are you rehearsing so early?" Thomas asked.

"Yes, because we will have a performance later, just half an hour later, logically speaking, we are already waiting in the background." Christine's beautiful face was full of sadness, and she began to cry continuously, Then said: "Doris is the lead dancer of the second group. Her group members couldn't find her, so they came to me. I thought she had overslept..."

"However, I called her home, but no one answered. Her parents told me that she hadn't returned all night. I knew it at that time. Maybe... But I didn't expect, how could she..."

Christine pursed her lips and covered her face with her hands. After squatting on the ground for a while, she stood up, then looked at Thomas and asked, "What the hell is going on? Why did she die in the boy's dormitory?" ?”

"I don't know either. I originally wanted to go back to my own dormitory to get the key. My dormitory is on the third floor, but on the way I met this first-year freshman Lex. 4th floor, so I helped him move up."

"But as soon as the two of us went upstairs, we saw this lady lying here. When we saw her, she was already..." Thomas shook his head.

Several members of the Lala Dance Troupe behind Christine began to cry. From the tags on their bodies, it can be seen that they are all members of the second group, and Doris should be very popular. They cried very sad,

Christine gritted her teeth and said, "Who dares to commit murder at Gotham University? Does he not want to die? Even the Twelve Families don't dare..."

Thomas sighed and said, "In my opinion, it may not be the gangsters who did it. This place is always a pure land. The godfather restrains the twelve families and their subordinates. The gangsters are not allowed to attack the students here. As long as they don't go out, they should be safe."

"Speaking of which, since you know her, you know her emotional life... It may be a bit offensive to say that, but in college, conflicts between couples can easily cause serious consequences."

"Doris has a boyfriend." A girl behind Christine said suddenly, and Thomas immediately asked, "Who is it? Which department?"

"No, he's not from Gotham University. He works at the Metropolitan Central Research Institute and seems to have graduated for two or three years."

Thomas looked at Lex, who shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never been to Central Research Institute."

"If possible, please call and see if you can find Doris' boyfriend, or at least let him come over to see his girlfriend." Thomas said sadly.

Lex gave a slightly embarrassed look, but finally he said, "Okay, I'll make the call."

At this moment, a few more steady footsteps sounded, and Xie Le, Anna and Bruce came up. Seeing the tragedy, Anna took a step back, covered her nose, and said, "Doris from the Department of Chemistry ? Poor child, how could..."

After glancing at the scene of the crime, Schiller took a step back, tapped the ground with the tip of his cane, and said, "Everyone come over, stand in a row against the wall, and put down everything in your hand."

"Professor!" Christine stepped forward and said, "La La Dance Troupe will be performing later, we are running out of time..."

"Is performance more important than life?" After Schiller asked, Christine pursed her lips and stopped talking. Frightened by Schiller's prestige, several students did as he said, except for the phone at the end of the corridor. Lex didn't come.

After a while, Gordon ran up in a hurry, and the police officers behind him rushed into the corridor quickly, and began to draw lines, cordon off the crime scene, and take pictures to collect evidence...

The flashing lights kept coming on, and the lights of the police car downstairs flickered. Several students who were present were taken away by the police officers. They went down the stairs one by one, got into the police car, and returned to the police station to record their statements.

Thomas and Christine, along with several members of the cheer troupe behind them, were taken away, but Schiller stopped the officers just as they were about to take the rest of Lex and Bruce away in the same way. .

Gordon gave his subordinates a wink, and they also quickly left along the stairwell.

In the dimly lit corridor, only the place near the window had some cold twilight, and the four of them, Schiller, Gordon, Bruce, and Lex, stood there.

Schiller leaned on the window sill, looked at Bruce and Lex and said, "Okay, everyone who has nothing to do with it is gone, let's talk about your views."

"The murderer's identity, motive, and method... let's talk about the identity first, who is the murderer?"

"Thomas Elliott."

The two spoke in unison.
