American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 566: Typical murder case (middle)

With a "bang", Thomas dropped the suitcase, he hurried over, 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 costume, with delicate makeup on her face, and the handbags scattered around her hand, as well as all kinds of makeup for make-up, were immersed 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 pale, and he said, "How can there be dead people here? And..."

Lex looked up and saw the house number, which said 404, which meant that this was the bedroom next to him, and on the first day he came, people died here, and Lex turned his head to reveal a trace of it. Disgusted, it seems that I don't want to take a look at the eucalyptus scene.

Thomas took his expression as fear, so he stood up, took two steps back, and stood in front of Lex, he said, "You are an out-of-towner, so you don't understand, it's no use calling the police here, the police don't do anything Can't handle it."

"She should be a cheerleader, why did she die here? Isn't this the boys' dormitory?" Thomas said to himself with some doubts.

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

The man who came up was Bruce Wayne.

He narrowed his eyes and stern face. Before Thomas could speak, he said, "Who is it? What's the noise, what time is it? And let no one sleep?!"

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

Thomas turned back, beckoned to Lex and said, "Introduction, this is the famous Bruce Wayne and 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'm Wayne, you are a Freshman of the grade, did you make the noise just now?"

"I warn you, it's better to know the rules, don't have a party when I'm resting, otherwise, I'll make you look good!"

Lex stepped forward, stretched out a hand and said, "Hello, I'm Lex, Lex Luthor."

Bruce looked into his eyes, but instead of shaking his hand, he said, "Luthor? You belong to the Luthor family? I almost forgot about you, what are you doing in Gotham? Go back to your old school. will go!"

"I never knew that Wayne actually regarded himself as a local snake in 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 of them, separated them, then turned to look at the crime scene, and he said, "A murder just happened here, whoever you are, go and call the teacher. !"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lex and saw his neatly groomed red hair and well-maintained hands that seemed to have never touched housework. His expression changed slightly, but Then he said, "Lex is a freshman, so he shouldn't know any teacher, Bruce, go ahead."

"No, the teacher at the freshman registration office was very kind. I'll go find him." Lex said.

But just as Lex was about to leave, Bruce stretched out a hand to stop him and pushed him on the shoulder, almost knocking him to the ground, Bruce said, "Stay here, watch. It's better for you to walk two steps and take three breaths, or go home and cry with your parents."

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

Lex turned away and said, "Thank you, if it wasn't for you who met first, I would have thought Gotham people were so unfriendly."

"Ah, it's not all, at least the students in this school are okay. By the way, it looks like your health is a little bad. Forgive me for offending, you..."

"I have some hereditary diseases, so my physical strength is very poor, and my father didn't let me go out before, so I didn't have the opportunity to exercise." Lex said leaning against the wall of the corridor.

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

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

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

"Treading the Stars"

Lex shook his head, but his expression let Thomas know that I'm afraid he didn't have a good relationship with his father either.

But Thomas, who was born in a prestigious family, also knows that there are few pure family relationships in such a big family. Lex's parents are dead, but it also means that he inherited all the property of the Luther family, just like Bruce Like Wayne.

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

Seeing the face of the deceased, the girl let out a whimper, then hurriedly ran over, knelt beside the corpse and said, "Doris! How could this be?!

"

"Christine, you know her?" Thomas asked.

"Of course! She's Doris from Gotham's cheerleading troupe, and we've just finished rehearsal before we even had time to change..."

"Are you rehearsing so early?" Thomas asked.

"Yes, because we will have a performance in a while, just half an hour later, it stands to reason that we are already waiting in the backstage." Christine's beautiful face was full of sadness, and she began to cry continuously, Then he said, "Doris was the lead dancer of the second group, and her group couldn't find her, so they came to me, and I thought she overslept..."

"However, when I called her house, no one answered. Her parents told me that she didn't return overnight. At that time, I knew that 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 **** is going on here, how did she die in the boy's dormitory? ?"

"I don't know. I originally wanted to go back to my own dormitory to get the keys. My dormitory is on the 3rd floor, but on the way, I met this first-year freshman Lex, he couldn't carry his suitcase, and the dormitory had On the fourth floor, so I helped him move it 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 group behind Christine began to cry. From the signs on their bodies, it can be seen that they are all members of the second group, and Doris's popularity should be very good. They cried. very sad,

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

Thomas sighed and said, "I don't think it was done by the gangsters. This place is always a pure land. The godfather restrains the Twelve Clan and their subordinates. The gangsters cannot attack the students here. As long as they don't go out, they should be safe."

"By the way, since you know her, you know about her love life... It may be a bit offensive to say that, but in college, couple conflicts can easily lead to serious consequences."

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

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

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

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

Lex made a slightly embarrassed look, but in the end he said, "Okay, I'll call."

At this moment, several more steady footsteps sounded, and Siele Anna and Bruce came up~www.readwn.com~ Seeing this tragic situation, Anna took a step back, covered her nose, and said: " Doris from Chemistry? Poor boy, how could..."

After Schiller glanced at the scene of the eucalyptus, he took a step back, tapped the ground with the tip of his cane, and said, "Everyone come here, stand in a row against the wall, and put everything in their hands down."

"Professor!" Christine stepped forward and said, "Lala Dance Troupe will have a performance later, we will be too late..."

"Performance is more important, or life is more important?" After Schiller asked, Christine pursed her lips and stopped talking. Frightened by Schiller's reputation, several students did as he said, except they still called at the end of the corridor. Lex did not come.

After a while, Gordon ran up in a hurry, and the police officers behind him rushed into the corridor quickly and began to line the eucalyptus scene, draw the cordon, and take photos for evidence...

The flash light kept on, and the light of the police car downstairs flickered. Several students who arrived were taken away by the police, walked 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 a few cheerleaders behind them, were taken away, but just as the officers were about to take the rest of Lex and Bruce in the same way, Schiller stopped him. them.

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

In the dimly lit corridor, there was only a cool shimmer near the window, and Schiller, Gordon, Bruce, and Lex were standing there.

Schiller leaned on the window sill, looked at Bruce and Lex and said, "Okay, the irrelevant people are gone, tell me what you think."

"The identity, motives and methods of the murderer... Let's talk about the identity first. Who is the murderer?"

"Thomas Elliott."

The two spoke in unison.
