Gotham City, a megacity on the east coast of the United States, is located on the east coastline with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.

Overlooking the whole city from the air, Gotham presents a rectangle that leans to the right, with the central commercial street turntable as the center point, and is divided into four districts: south, south, north and west.

As I mentioned before, the East District has docks and slums. It is the most chaotic but also the most dynamic district in Gotham. The south is the financial center of Gotham and the new wealthy area. In most of the photos of Gotham City, high-rise buildings Buildings and brightly lit scenes were all photographed in this area.

The West District is the old town of Gotham. It is the first district to be developed. It has European-style manors and castles, as well as a large park. Gotham University is located on the junction of the West District and the South District. This is also the best place for greenery in Gotham.

A part of Gotham City that is rarely mentioned is the North District, because it is a completely independent district. There is a Gotham River in the north of the central commercial street, which divides the entire Gotham into two parts: north and south. , and the north of the Gotham River is Gotham's North District.

On the west side of the Gotham River, which is the southwest corner of the North District, is the famous Arkham Asylum, and in the southeast corner of the North District is Gotham's largest lighthouse.

The main reason why the North District is not mentioned is that it is the birthplace of the Falcone and Twelve families.

This has to start from the era when European immigrants ruled Gotham. Maybe when many people hear the history of the Italian Mafia, they will think of the soothing and melodious music in the film The Godfather, with the old-fashioned light and shadow, The elegant voice of the old godfather, the red poppy on the black suit, the cigar, the pistol...

But in fact, in those days, Italians in the United States were very discriminated against, because at that time, most of the people who would come to the United States to work were from southern Italy, that is, the poor in Italy.

Noble European immigrants, manor and factory owners, of course, looked down on these Italian barbarians from Sicily, so they did not allow them to come near where they lived.

When Falcone took a group of people to Gotham land, there were already many Italians living here, but they all lived in the most desolate and remote North District, because the other three districts, even if It's the chaotic Eastside, and it's full of discrimination against Italians.

Falcone's fortune started from the North District, and when he gradually developed his own power in Gotham, he built the separated and independent North District into his base camp, and here A series of manor buildings and security systems were established.

The North District, which is divided by the Gotham River, is indeed a good place to be a base camp, but those European immigrants who came here first did not choose it because the terrain here is not very good.

The entire Gotham is a terrain with a high north and a low south. The south and west areas are plains, while the north area is hilly. Although the altitude is not high, it is obviously more difficult to build buildings in the north area than in other places. Only those unwelcome Italians live here.

Gotham has developed to this day, and the North District has been built into a very complete gangster station. The Falcone family's castle is located halfway up the highest mountain in Gotham. It is open to all Gotham people except Batman. Said, here are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The locations of the other twelve families also revolve around the castle of the Falcone family, and the rest of the North District is the industrial chain serving the residences of these gangster families.

Gotham North District, in Ritchie Manor, a lady with brown curly hair and rosacea in a white apron carried a tray and walked up the stairs quickly. She came to a room on the second floor. Two young men stood at the door. The police officer, but she did not show surprise, but forced a smile and said to them: "Gentlemen, do you want a glass of water?"

"Oh, no, thank you, but you can't go in right now, it's investigating."

"I know, I know..." The lady nodded, but still seemed to want to look inside. She reached out a hand under the tray and handed the police a roll of dollars. The young policeman coughed twice. He lowered his voice and said, "I know you are worried..."

The lady wiped the corner of her eyes and said with a sad expression: "Yes, now the whole manor is in a panic, and no one knows if it will be me next..."

The policeman waved his hand and still whispered: "Now everyone can see that this serial killer only picks the boss of the gang. Well, ma'am, you should go down first..."

The policeman glanced back at the door he was guarding, squeezed the roll of dollars in his hand again, and said, "I heard that Boss Gordon has hired a very good detective, and it may not be long before he can Find out who did it, and once found out, the godfather will definitely not let him go."

The lady sighed, handed the tray in her hand to the young police officer and said, "If that's the case, I won't bother you. Help me ask the gentlemen inside if they want to drink water. If you need anything, call me again. ."

The policeman wanted to refuse, but the other guy looked down at his watch and said to his colleague, "They've been in for more than two hours, maybe they're thirsty. I'm here to watch, you put the water in. Send it in."

The policeman didn't say anything, he nodded, then turned around and knocked on the door, and there was a voice inside: "Please come in."

When the officer walked in with the tray, there were two people inside, one was Gordon and the other was Batman, but the young officer didn't take it too seriously, he just put the tray on the table and said: " Boss, if you are thirsty, there is water here."

Gordon nodded and waved his hand to signal him to go out. The police officer put down the water and went out. Obviously, he didn't want to stay in the room, because in addition to the two living people, there was a dead person in this room, and the death of this dead person. The situation was so tragic that the smell of blood filled the room.

He was sawed in half, and sawed vertically.

Batman said to Gordon: "A few days ago, I read all the information about the twelve disciples of Jesus. If I remember correctly, this method of death should be one of the twelve disciples called 'Simon of Zealots'. ' The way the apostle was executed, he was sawed in half along the middle of his leg..."

Batman went around to the other side of the corpse. Gordon was standing behind the table, far away from the corpse. Even he had rarely seen such a brutal crime scene. The left side of the corpse on the ground was connected to most of the The head, and the right side is connected to a small half, there is still a certain distance between the two parts, the blood is almost all over the room, Gordon covered his nose and said, "Did you see anything?"

Batman frowned, and he said with some doubts: "Actually, I can't understand it a bit, the method is completely different..."

"what do you mean?"

"The way the murderer killed Rich was completely different from the way he killed Lawrence and Hawke..."

"What do you mean? Can you tell me in detail?"

Batman squatted down, not minding the strong and choking smell of blood at all, he stared at Rich's tragically shaped corpse and said, "If the death of the first two people still carries some meaning of execution, it is that This kind of 'sense of ritual' that perverted murderers often admire, where Qi's death is too rough, obviously, his death was not peaceful..."

Gordon whispered, "Anyone can see that?"

Batman pointed to a mark on the body and said, "Look here, look at his neck, there's a footprint here..."

Then he stood up again, pointed to the tail of the corpse, and said, "One of his feet has a shoe on, the other is not, and one shoe was thrown aside, that's where..."

Following Batman's gaze, Gordon looked at a shoe beside the corpse, Batman walked to the back of the corpse's foot, then pointed to one of the corpse's feet and said, "This foot without shoes has an ankle joint. Minor fractures, very swollen."

"We can use this to infer how the murderer actually killed."

"The whole process was very simple, the killer pushed Richie to the ground, put one foot on Richie's neck, then bent over and grabbed his ankle, lifted one of his legs, then took the saw and moved from He started sawing between his legs..."

"Obviously, at this time, Richie was still alive and had the ability to struggle. Because of the severe pain, he began to struggle desperately, and the man didn't stop his movements at all. In order to catch the struggling Richie, he had to increase his hand. Ricky's ankle was broken and his shoes were thrown off..."

"What does that mean?" Gordon put his hands on his hips.

"It shows that this is a very murderous murderer. He sawed a person in half alive. In the process, he sawed him from head to toe regardless of Richie's struggle and screaming."

"At the same time, he should have a lot of strength. Ritchie is 1.86 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. It is very difficult to completely subdue him, let alone sawing him when he still has the ability to resist."

"And what puzzles me is that the method this time is completely different from the previous two. I even wonder if my inference is wrong. Is this a serial murder case?"

"Logically speaking, the first victim, Lawrence, died by crucifixion, and the killer used wedges in his limbs, heart and head..."

"The second victim, Hawke, died by beheading, and the third victim died by being sawed in half. These are the methods of death of the twelve disciples of Jesus, especially the method of death by sawing people in half. If not In order to restore the execution method of the fierce Ximen, no one will kill people with such a time-consuming and laborious method..."

"But this eucalyptus case is completely different from the previous two cases. In the previous two eucalyptus cases, anesthetic drugs were detected in Lawrence's body. In the process, there is no ability to resist.”

"The same is true for Hawke. He was first **** and then chopped off with a knife."

"But according to common sense, if a person has the power to kill Rich in such a brutal way, then there is absolutely no need for him to anesthetize Lawrence, and there is no need to tie Hawke."

"Lawrence is also considered strong, but after all, he is an old man. Hawke is very tall, but relatively thin. Neither of them is as strong as Richie in his prime. The killer has the power to subdue Richie and saw him open by one person~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ But it is very strange to have to subdue those two people first, and then kill them..."

"Perhaps, Rich's death was due to the cooperation of the two?"

Batman shook his head slightly, and said, "In most of the cases of serial murder cases that I have taken in criminal psychology courses, the murderer is a single person, and no one else cooperates with the case."

"Besides that the probability of encountering two mentally ill people with the same nature is very low, most murderers who commit serial murders have a special obsession with murder and murder. have their own unique understanding.”

"They care about the outcome of the crime as well as the process of making it, and they even enjoy the process of guiding the police to make wrong judgments, seeing experts' suspicion and confusion but not getting an answer."

"Moreover, they are unwilling to share this happiness with others. They think that no one can fully understand them. They may use some innocent passers-by to achieve their purpose of murder, but they will never cooperate sincerely with anyone."

"They enjoy the thrill of playing with the world by themselves, and they won't let the second person know their full plan, or help them, let alone do it so crudely..."

Gordon pursed his lips and looked at Batman, and said, "That doesn't sound like something you could learn in a psychology textbook."

"It really isn't learned from textbooks."

"Your tone reminds me of someone," Gordon sighed.

"Then why didn't you invite him over?"

"Because I'm not sure, whether he is analyzing the situation based on the scene of the accident, or ... is revealing his process."
