Chapter 3573 The Edge of Tomorrow (19)

Schiller, who was sitting in the interrogation room, was indeed not in a hurry at all. Because he was really passing by this time. He believed that Director Gordon, who was upright, would definitely give him a cleansing - if he was not angry to death by his words.

It is obvious that Gordon was already angry and smoked. But because he is a good person who follows the rules, he really can't do anything to Schiller. Because he is just a suspect, not a criminal. Even if the suspicion is unprecedented, he has no room for excuses before being tried in court, so he cannot be treated as a criminal.

Now, Gordon has a very keen intuition about Gotham. He feels that the case was not done by Schiller, but there is no reason to explain the reason why he appeared at the crime scene.

You can't really be a cleaner in the past, right?

Here we must discuss a slightly absurd issue - if a person kills someone and does not deal with the crime scene, and a passing cleaner cleans up the scene, is the cleaner a crime?

In the maritime law system, this behavior is usually charged with two crimes: one is "supporting the crime" and the other is "sabotage the scene."

But in fact, both of these accusations are difficult to establish. There is a prerequisite for accusing of sheltering the offense, that is, the two collude in advance. For example, the murderer hires a cleaner, or the two conspire to divide the work. If the accused person can prove that there is no connection between the two, such a charge cannot be made.

Another premise of "destruction of the crime scene" is that the other party knows subjectively that this is the crime scene. The only one who can determine the crime scene is the police. In other words, only after the police arrives, he can clean up the crime scene to accuse "destruction of the crime scene", otherwise it will not be established.

In other words, if Schiller is not the murderer, then he and Victor cleaned up some of the crime scenes with a lot of cleaning tools, and it is difficult to convict them.

So how do we prove that Schiller is not the murderer?

The system of marine law generally has "probable guilt". In other words, both the police and the court assume that the suspect is guilty, and the suspect needs to try every means to prove his guilt, which is the "exemption" that is often heard in comics and American dramas.

In fact, Schiller has no strong evidence to relieve himself of his sins.

In terms of motivation, his email was still lying in his email that threatened the other party and emails that informed the address, which could fully explain the conflict between the two parties, which was very unfavorable to him.

In terms of ability, as long as it is not too disparity in size, it will generally not be considered as incompetent crime.

In terms of results, he and Victor both appeared at the first crime scene and could not produce a proof of absence. Because the arrival time is too similar to the time of death of the deceased, it is difficult to pass the time difference, so it is proved that they did not do it.

To sum up, all kinds of evidence are very unfavorable to Schiller. If this matter was really not done by him, he should not stay at the scene of the crime. Because once he was caught by the police, there would be little room for quibbling.

But Schiller's calm attitude made Gordon understand that he must have something to rely on. Just as Gordon was guessing whether Schiller had done something else, another policeman walked in and whispered in Gordon's ear.

Gordon frowned at first, but soon pursed his lips, looked at Schiller helplessly, and left the room.

Schiller knew what he was leaving. The police who interrogated him said that Lina had reported three people in total, two professors had been arrested, and the remaining student was Harley. At this time, she should have been taken to the police.

In fact, whether from the perspective of psychology or criminal investigation, the best way to get rid of oneself is not to prove oneself, but to attack others.

It is difficult to prove the case where Schiller was involved. However, if the person who provided the testimony was also in trouble, the testimony would be invalid, it would naturally not constitute a strong charge, and it would be much easier to escape from the crime.

The reason why Schiller came to the police station was not at all cooperatively because he knew that the best way to prove that he was not the murderer was to catch the real murderer.

Lina, who provided the testimony, had absenteeism in the murder tonight, but not in the case of the missing bassist.

She claimed that she saw Harley and two professors killing people, but that was just her subjective statement. The objective fact is that she also ran to the rehearsal classroom in the middle of the night and disappeared all night, not knowing where she went.

If she said someone killed someone in the rehearsal classroom, then she herself was not completely suspicious. Even her suspicion was the greatest.

Because, compared to Halle, she has a closer relationship with the bassist. Everyone in the band has seen it, they can't figure it out. They also attended the Brenniak support meeting together.

Moreover, she can prove the three of them, and naturally the three can also unite to prove her. The testimony of the three people's mutual confirmation is much more powerful than a person's subjective narration.

When neither party has other evidence to prove that the other party kills, the suspicion of both parties is equal. Then Lina's so-called testimony of Schiller and his men planning to kill tonight is unreliable, because this may be the frame-up after killing her.

Once witness testimony becomes unreliable and no direct evidence is found at the crime scene, the probability that the charge can be established will become very low. It is easy to escape from the crime.

And Schiller also knew very well that he and Victor only needed to get rid of suspicion. Halle was different, she would definitely make Lina look good.

Schiller didn't believe it, and Halle did nothing the night she took Lina away. She put Lina back to Brenniak to support it to catch a big fish. The fish in the water wanted to jump up and slapp him, how could she bear it?

Sure enough, less than 20 minutes after Gordon went out, the police in the police station started to move in a hurry again. Even the police in the interrogation room were transferred, as if there was a big case to be investigated.

When the police left, Schiller stood up from the chair and glanced at the seat of the old policeman before. Sure enough, his cell phone was lying there quietly.

He took his phone, sat back in his original position, opened the software of the super butler Bleniak, and began to ask Bleniak:

"Do you know what Halle just said?"

“This involves other user privacy…”

"Don't act like a stupid artificial customer service," Schiller replied, "Don't make me think that super artificial intelligence is just that capable."

"She said she knew that the Breniak supporter killed a policeman, and the body was placed in the water tower on the roof of the Biton Trade Building on Diamond Street. This was inconsistent with a case where a policeman disappeared on patrol."

"No wonder," Schiller said, "that is probably the safety of his colleagues who can attract more attention than me."

After working with Gordon for so long, Schiller asked himself that he knew the justice sheriff quite well. Gordon was not a very pedantic person. In his opinion, it was not a big deal to die in Gotham. There were no totally innocent victims here, but more evil people were beaten by evil people.

Based on this principle, he could not tolerate two types of victimization: one is very young children. Children are relatively innocent, but on the other hand, they are not well-informed and have no chance to accumulate sins; but they do not have much ability to resist, and most of them are innocent victims.

Another type is his colleagues. There are many strange police officers in Gotham, each with their own shortcomings, and there are no complete righteous people. But as long as they are willing to be policemen, they are much nobler than the rest of the city. Compared with their righteous behavior, that little sin is nothing, and can also be called innocent people.

If these two types of people are victimized, Gordon will definitely raise the priority of this case to the highest level.

Gordon also knew in his heart that those people who died in the teaching building of the old campus were not good people. Even if they were students and even if they might be bewitched, they were adults. Adults always had to pay for their stupid and evil behavior.

So, these people combined are not as important as a colleague who disappeared during the patrol. Once there are clues to the latter, the former's priority must be placed in the back.

Harley's move was a snake and seven inches. Most of the time Gordon turned a blind eye, but once he had to check it seriously, someone would definitely be in trouble. Brenniak's support would not die and he would have to lose his skin.

Schiller felt that what Victor said before was right. Brenniak's support accounted for the vast majority of foreigners. If this were not the case, they would not choose to attack the police.

You know, at the end of the gang period, the gang bosses were almost forced into a dead end, and no one dared to massacre the police. This is not because they can't do it, but smart people know how to leave a way out for themselves.

Although it seems that the police are just guns, there are courts and juries for trials, and prisons for jails, both of which are much more important than the police.

But they all know that if you cooperate and go to prison for two years, you will be considered a rich man at least. But if you don’t cooperate, on the second day of your jail, Gordon will kill all your gang and property in one go, turning you into a completely pauper.

Not offending Gordon is to leave a way out for yourself. Even if you lose in the end, you can leave some old secrets for yourself. If you offend him to death, you will be really done.

Schiller admires Brenniak's spirit of supporting the fight without leaving a way out. Now it depends on whether this foreign strong dragon can surpass Gordon, the local snake.

As it turned out, Brenniak's support was not a strong dragon, and Gordon was not just a local snake. Schiller took a nap in the interrogation room, and the footsteps outside sounded crackling, and soon the left and right cubicles were full.

Schiller sat in the interrogation room in the middle and could vaguely hear the conversation between the left and right rooms. If nothing unexpected happens, the room next to him is now full of the backbone forces of Brenniak's support association.

After all, it was just a group of college students. They didn’t care about money or power, and they didn’t even check the federal association law when forming a club.

What we rely on is nothing more than being a well-known force who has no time to argue with them. If you really want to be serious, you can charge fifteen or sixteen crimes by stepping into the community gate.

The police station was in a mess all night. When it was almost dawn, Gordon, a slightly tired man appeared in front of Schiller's interrogation room.

"Open it for him." Gordon said impatiently, "Are you two sick? You two traveled all the way to the old campus to clean the crime scene for others just to make things difficult for the police?"

"How is that possible? We have always cooperated with the police."

"Then you'd better give me a better explanation."

"Did you see the machine on site?" Schiller said with a smile, "That is the latest cleaning robot. We went there to test the machine. When you went there, it should have been cleaned up, right? How is the effect?"

"Hmph." Gordon snorted coldly, "It's very clean. There is no footprint found in the entire corridor."

"Then I'll be relieved," said Schiller. "You know, I'm not very good at cleaning. With this thing, I can save me a lot of trouble."

After saying that, he was about to go out. Just as he passed by Gordon, Gordon pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't go. Is this machine expensive? How many are there in stock? I'm going to order a few for the police station so that we can clean up the scene after the evidence collection is over."

"You have to ask Victor for this." Schiller said, "The cleaning machine he and Pamela jointly developed, as well as detergents and brush heads specifically for blood. One set should not be cheap. But since it is purchased for public expenses, it must be fully equipped."

So Victor was invited to the procurement office with a blank look on his face. Before the door was closed, he looked back and Schiller smiled at him against the wall of the corridor.
