Chapter 3033

~12 min read 2,269 words

The basic situation was understood, so Schiller naturally began to investigate according to the traditional process.

First, investigate the cause of death of the corpse. This doesn't need Schiller to go and see it in person. The artificial intelligence butler of this base can directly scan it, and all physical signs of the corpse will appear on the holographic projection screen.

The cause of death is heart rupture. Although it is a sea race, it can't hold up if the heart is broken. Because the murderer's action was very crisp, it can even be said to be strength creating miracles, the victim did not suffer any pain, nor did she struggle, and passed away directly.

The crime scene in the small classroom is the first crime scene. On one hand, in the situation of counter-force, it is almost impossible to move the corpse. On the other hand, the investigation of blood shows no traces of being dragged or moved.

The murder weapon was not found. The artificial intelligence is already powerful enough to completely figure out all items in the entire base. It confirmed that no part of any item can cause such a wound, and even if it scanned the students directly, it didn't find anything on them that could cause such a wound.

Schiller found that the situation of this case is very strange, because the victim and the murderer are very likely to be superpowered people, and some conditions that can limit ordinary people cannot limit them.

But the detective side is not to be outdone. The artificial intelligence butler's control over the base has reached a perverted degree, and it can be completely called a super detective, seriously handling the case.

Such a strong confrontation can be said to be very wonderful. It would be even better if he were sitting in the audience.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the artificial intelligence is, it is not a specialized detective. In order to ensure that the Mercury base does not have a machine crisis, Stark didn't install an emotional module for this artificial intelligence at all, nor did it deliberately imitate human thinking, so it can only be considered an arithmetic machine. Counting on it to reason is impossible.

Bruce is watching the video monitoring, mainly to analyze whether the behavior of the few students who came to this floor is abnormal.

At this time, Schiller compared the timeline of these few students in his heart.

12:05, Bonu left the elevator and was the first to head to the small classroom. The camera in the small classroom was already broken.

12:07, Claude and Gonzalez accompanied each other and took the second elevator to enter the small classroom. At this time, Bonu had not left the small classroom, and the three of them stayed in the small classroom together.

12:10, the sisters and Blue Beetle Ted arrived by elevator. After getting off the elevator, their opinions were somewhat divergent. Ted seemed to want to check the small classroom first, while the sisters felt they should go to the large classroom first. They discussed at the elevator entrance and finally headed straight for the large classroom.

12:11, Bonu, Claude, and Gonzalez in the small classroom left the small classroom and headed for the large classroom.

12:12, Jenna's brother Zan arrived, also didn't pay attention to the small classroom at all, and headed straight for the large classroom.

At 12:12, everyone gathered in the large classroom. The camera showed that they were rummaging for things in the large classroom, occasionally asking each other what they wanted to find and what they had found. The conversation was not abnormal.

After rummaging for about three minutes, Blue Beetle and the sisters both found what they wanted.

12:15, Blue Beetle Ted and the sisters left the large classroom and left this floor through the stairs.

The remaining four people were not satisfied with the things they wanted to find and searched for another two minutes.

12:17, Bonu suddenly proposed that she hadn't rummaged well in the small classroom just now, and there might still be things she liked there, proposing to go and rummage again, so she left the large classroom and headed for the small classroom.

The remaining three boys said a few words to each other, but opinions diverged. Claude and Gonzalez felt that what Bonu said made sense. Since they were already here and there was nothing satisfactory in the large classroom, they would go to the small classroom to look for it.

But Zan seemed to feel that searching here again was a waste of time, and said he was prepared to go back first.

12:18, Claude and Gonzalez left the large classroom and headed for the small classroom. At this time, Bonu was still in the small classroom.

Zan seemed unwilling to give up, rummaged in the large classroom again, squatted by the window, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, making the large classroom a mess.

12:20, Zan left the large classroom and went upstairs along the stairs.

12:23, Claude and Gonzalez seemed not to have found anything satisfactory in the small classroom either. Seeing that the agreed time was almost up, the two hurried out of the small classroom and got on the elevator.

Bonu never came out again.

Precisely because the students were scattered relatively widely at that time, and after they came back, Victor didn't count the number of people and started class directly.

After class, because he wanted to recycle the experimental products that were deformed due to pressure, Victor discovered that Bonu didn't hand in her homework. He wanted to ask what was going on, and discovered that this person was missing.

The reason for not checking people all the time is because everyone is already at the age of a college student, and under the control of strong artificial intelligence, any dangerous place cannot be entered. Victor didn't need to worry so much at all. Who knew that someone really went missing.

He asked all the students, and the students compared with each other and discovered that Claude and Gonzalez were the last people to see Bonu. The location was the small classroom on this floor. So, a group of people rushed to the small classroom side.

Victor is a Gothamite, experienced, and knows that if a person goes missing for so long in Cat Getan, it is mostly cold. Worried that all students would rush in and destroy the crime scene, he simply took everyone to the large classroom, and sure enough, saw Bonu's corpse through the glass.

Looking at it this way, Claude and Gonzalez, who last saw Bonu, have the greatest suspicion. After all, there are only two people, and corroborating each other is not so credible.

But these two people also have very powerful evidence to prove that it wasn't them who did it. The reason is actually very simple: these two people couldn't beat Bonu at all.

Claude is a bit better. After all, he is a magician, but he is also a freshman who started school only last year. He basically hasn't reached the stage of mastering magic. The few attack means he knows can kill a chicken, but wanting to kill a well-trained ordinary human is a bit difficult.

Gonzalez doesn't even need to be mentioned. He indeed has war experience, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected here, but let alone thermal weapons, he doesn't even have a small knife for self-defense, purely bare-handed.

And Bonu? She is the product of the combination of powerful sea races, and has received military training from her father since childhood. She can even go a few rounds with Mera who holds a trident. Even without relying on water control magic, she can fight back and forth with Wonder Woman in combat class, which shows how strong she is.

Admittedly, if one were to fight with all one's strength, it is not impossible to kill her, but it is impossible to make her have no ability to resist at all and be killed in one blow directly.

There are no traces of fighting in the room. Bonu's footprints are very clear. She didn't even manage to set up a defensive posture and died directly.

And this wound is penetrated from the front to the back, which means it was still a frontal kill, not a sneak attack from behind. This difficulty is a bit too great.

Diana confirmed this point. She completely denied the possibility that Claude and Gonzalez could kill Bonu by joining forces. The two sides are not even at the same level. Bonu beating them is like playing.

At this time, it was time for Schiller to appear.

Because although it seems unlikely that these two people could do anything to Bonu, what if they were hiding their strength? What if someone else borrowed their power? What if the memory was modified and deleted?

Things about superpowers are just so uncertain.

At this time, the information exchange of the students was basically completed. The content of Schiller's class was also spread by word of mouth. They also somewhat wanted to know how this master of psychology works.

Considering that a large group of people squeezing into the large classroom is a bit noisy, Clark waved his hand and took everyone out, leaving only Schiller and a few suspects.

Arthur used water to create a water prison to prevent the murderer from suddenly jumping up and hurting people. One person in one prison, not disturbing each other. Whoever dares to take action is the first kill in the team battle of the Justice League.

And the small classroom, Bonu's corpse was moved to the utility room opposite. The utility room was changed into a temporary autopsy room. Although this wound is very simple, the process that should be followed still needs to be followed. Bruce acted as the forensic doctor, and Oliver helped on the side.

And the small classroom became an observation room for students. Although it is relatively small compared to the large classroom, squeezing in more than 100 people is a bit crowded, but it can still be squeezed in.

A total of six suspects, six cages lined up, the three on the left are Claude, Gonzalez, and Blue Beetle, and the three on the right are Zan and the Atlantean sisters.

In order to prevent forgetting, repeat the superpowers of these few people again.

Claude is a novice magician, basically doesn't know much magic yet. The spells mastered are small fireball technique and short-distance flash.

Gonzalez is an ordinary human. Proficient in thermal weapons and jungle warfare.

Blue Beetle Ted inherited an alien weapon Blue Beetle from his teacher, but because he is far worse than his teacher, Blue Beetle doesn't listen to him.

Zan and his twin sister have telepathy. Jenna can turn into an animal, and he can turn into water.

Atlantean sisters. Also human form, know simple water control spells, and combat skills are also not bad, but the two cannot compare to Bonu.

Schiller began to pace in front of the six cages.

Now the step of psychoanalysis has not yet begun, because the motive and result of this case are not important, the method is the key.

Psychoanalysis can indeed see the answer, but figuring out the method still requires serious thinking.

Schiller asked the six people about their respective time and activity scope again. What can be confirmed is that no one lied.

Immediately after, Schiller asked Claude and Gonzalez emphatically. Actually, he didn't want to waste this time, but after all, it was a task handed to him by the Justice League, so asking is no harm.

And facts have proven that the two did not lie either. They did not hide their strength, their memories were not moved by anyone, and no one borrowed power to them to urge them to take action.

Now the situation is becoming increasingly confusing.

But at this time, Schiller did not look at the six cages again, but passed them, came to the glass of the large classroom, looked at this piece of glass, and emphatically looked at the cardboard box that blocked a corner of the glass because it was rummaged and knocked down.

He didn't care about the suspects in this room, but went out directly to the corridor and opened the door of the utility room again.

Bruce, who was performing the autopsy, looked at him blankly, but Schiller didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the wall between the utility room and the power distribution room. There was also a piece of glass on this wall.

Which means the layout of this corridor is actually symmetrical. Both sides are a large and a small room. There is a piece of glass on the wall between the large room and the small room.

After asking the artificial intelligence, I learned that actually both sides were originally laboratories. After some adjustments, one side became the power distribution room and the utility room, and the other side became the large classroom and the small classroom.

However, what is different is that the power distribution room has windows.

Although the outside is a vacuum environment, the vacuum environment is nothing to this group of supermen.

And after seeing these, Schiller already knew the modus operandi.

He returned to the large classroom again, still pacing slowly, until he stopped in front of one of the cages, looked up and said: "Hello, murderer."

And what was unexpected to everyone was that the person in the cage was Blue Beetle Ted.
