Chapter 3179: Detective is about to die (Thirty)
Based on Madeline's previous experience, it can be inferred that she has a deep hatred for Sirtek and hates him to the core. She came here with no intention of leaving alive, so naturally there is no one she cannot kill.
If Madeline knew that the guy was hired by Sirtek to complete his evil plan, she would never let him go. She might even vent her hatred on him and cut off his limbs to torture him.
So why did Madeleine commit suicide?
Schiller went over Madeleine's behavior in his mind, and he remembered very clearly that after he restored Madeleine's spirit, she kept shouting "He's coming."
In English, the pronunciation of "it" which refers to other objects and "he" which refers to people are completely different, so Schiller thought Madeline was saying that the prowler was coming.
But if Madeline had brought this wanderer to take revenge on Sirtek, why would she be surprised? She would not even shout out. She wished the wanderer would kill everyone here, and would not warn anyone.
Schiller instinctively felt that Madeline was not referring to the Wanderer. In addition to the grudge between her and Sirtek, this woman had some secrets that he didn't know about.
"What happened to that family?" The Pale Knight looked at Bruce and Greed. He was referring to the family that died in the lighthouse, the bodies now lying upstairs.
"I don't know about that." Greedy shook his head and said, "I'm not crazy enough to kill the whole family."
"It's not me either." Bruce said, "Even if I need someone to die, I won't take a little girl with me. I have a trauma about this."
Although the Pale Knight didn't know what Bruce was referring to, he could tell that Bruce was not lying.
Bruce continued, "Wasn't there a mention of this little girl in the diary? Maybe it was Batman who did it?"
He hasn't forgotten to throw dirty water on the main universe Batman, Schiller thought, but it's a pity that there are two clowns in front of him, and you'll be in trouble if they don't spray you.
Sure enough, the Joker snorted and said, "If Batman is really capable of such a thing, then he is as boring as your frame-up."
"What? You said I was boring?!" Bruce said with a grin, "Just wait, I'll have Gordon handcuff you sooner or later."
"But no matter what, Batman is the biggest suspect, because only his diary mentions that family." Greedy shrugged and said, "Even if he didn't do it on purpose, it must have been implicated in his affairs. He can't escape the blame."
"Your method of framing him is better than his, but not much better." The Pale Knight said, "You are indeed evil and incompetent."
Schiller ignored their bickering. He just looked at Greed and said, "It's wrong to say that only the hunter's diary is related to that family. Who killed Jeff?"
Greedy raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Everyone else also looked at him, because it was just as Schiller said, the hunter's diary only mentioned the little girl, but Greedy used his skills to kill Jeff directly, so his connection with this family was the strongest.
"He's just a madman talking nonsense." Greedy said. He glanced at Jeff's body on the floor of the room. His eyes stayed on one place for a moment, but quickly retracted.
Schiller noticed his tiny movement, so he also came to Jeff's body. Now that time was stopped, he had plenty of time to observe the body carefully.
Just as he was looking at the corpse, he discovered the problem: the wound on this guy was shorter.
The detective was cut in the abdomen by the wind blade, but Jeff was only cut in the chest, or to be precise, a little below the collarbone, which was not that deep at all.
Schiller didn't think that this was greed and he wanted to leave his body intact. He must have his reasons for doing so.
Schiller suddenly looked up at Greedy and said, "You don't want to open his stomach because he ate fish too, right?"
"I don't have to answer every question you have. If you really want to know, you can look it up for yourself."
Schiller immediately understood the meaning of greed. They were now in a state of combat and could not do anything else. If Schiller wanted to verify his conjecture, he had to end the battle.
Greed wanted to use a clue to end this battle where he was at a disadvantage. As expected, he never did business at a loss.
Schiller glanced at Bruce and felt that it was not a good idea to hurt him too badly, otherwise Pride would probably come after him later, so he waved his hand and put down the knife.
There was no beep, only the skill list reappeared. Schiller felt a little strange. So, as long as they fought, regardless of winning or losing, they would be awarded skill points? Then couldn't they fake a fight to gain points?
Schiller looked back and met Greed's gaze. It was obvious that they were thinking the same thing, but Greed still touched his neck, as if he was worried that someone would make a fake come true.
Schiller ordered a little more first aid.
The reason why he was so anxious to find out everyone's innate skills was that as the number of skill points increased, everyone would have more skills, and the various abilities would become more confusing. Once there were really more skills, it would be difficult to find out which one was the innate skill.
Schiller has discovered that the initial talent skills they possess are the strongest. Schiller searched the list for a long time but couldn't find any skills similar to his own soul-soothing skills. Most of them require rolling dice to increase mental health values by ignoring all obstacles.
After clicking on the skill, Schiller walked directly to Jeff's body. He took a scalpel from the medical box next to him, slid down along the original wound of the body, opened the stomach, and indeed found fish meat and fish bones that had not been fully digested.
Another terrible fishy smell came over him. Greedy took two steps with the help of the wall, leaned over to take a look, and walked away with some disgust.
Schiller was thinking in his mind that so far there were three people who could be confirmed to have eaten the fish, so the sample was sufficient.
The rule Schiller drew from the three of them was that they all ate fish raw.
The fish in the stomach of the first corpse was relatively intact and it was obvious that it was raw. Although the other two were almost digested, judging from the taste and the fish bones inside, they were not eaten in a normal way. Who would eat fish without spitting out the bones?
It would be fine if there were some small thorns, but the problem is that the spine of the fish is inside, and it is impossible for it to be eaten directly as a meal. The human throat has a safety mechanism, and if you eat something too hard, you will inevitably vomit. This fish is not small, and the fish bones are as hard as a cone. How did these three people eat it?
Even if they were afraid of being affected by the weird, they wouldn't just chop up a fish and eat it raw, right? What's more, there was a body that was killed in the kitchen, and there was a fireplace not far away. They could just throw the whole fish in there and roast it for a few minutes.
Schiller was more inclined to believe that they did not eat the fish voluntarily, and that only by using a tube could the chopped raw fish be easily put into their stomachs.
Schiller suddenly thought that a wealthy man like Sirtek didn't have to find such a remote fishing village to go fishing. There were many port cities on both the east and west coasts, and the throughput capacity was not comparable to that of this small village.
If you want to build a laboratory in a safe place, there is no need to choose here. The United States is vast and sparsely populated, with plenty of wasteland. People in the medical industry are not short of money, so they can choose a better place.
He definitely went to such a remote place not just to fish and do experiments. Something that would make such a person hesitate must involve human lives.
Going out to sea to fish, setting up laboratories, fish in villagers’ bodies…
Human experiments?
Schiller felt that this was the most reliable conclusion so far, and that Sirtek might be using the villagers here for experiments.
This can also explain why the lighthouse keeper and hunter were hired by Sirtek and worked for him at the beginning, but turned against him in the end.
Maybe at first they were just fishing and watching the underground caves, but later they discovered that this damn capitalist was using the villagers for experiments, so they wanted to expose him, which also provides a motive for the hunters' behavior.
As for the murder of Jeff's family, it is possible that Sirtek silenced them, but they killed each other, so it is difficult to explain how he did it.
After the reasoning, Schiller put the scalpel in his arms and said, "Now we have two choices. One is to go to the village. The supplies in the lighthouse are enough for us to get to the village. The other is to go back to the underground cave and see what is on the road on the other side of the river."
The others naturally thought of these two options as well. They were discussing them just now. Greedy turned around and said to Schiller, "You will definitely disagree if I say we divide our forces, because you will worry that we are secretly doing something behind your back."
Schiller nodded and said, "Dividing the troops is not a good idea. The Wanderers do exist. Even if their characteristics are different from what we analyzed before, they cannot be underestimated. If we have too few people, it will be too easy to be defeated one by one."
"I want to go to the lab." The Pale Knight said, "I know there may be survivors in the village, but if we don't figure out what happened, we'll just be attending their funeral if we rush over."
Greedy and Bruce looked at each other, Greedy nodded and said, "I'm more interested in the lab as well, mainly because I don't want to let someone run around here, and you know who he'll deal with."
Schiller knew that Greed was hinting to him that both the pharmaceutical giant and the church might be Batman's enemies, and leaving Batman aside would be tantamount to chronic suicide. So even if there were still a few floors of the lighthouse that had not been explored, it would be better to chase Batman first.
In the end, everyone decided to go to the laboratory first, but to get to the laboratory, they had to cross the river. The usual method would not work, so the best way was to build a bridge.
Fortunately, there are sufficient supplies in the lighthouse. Among other things, there is no shortage of various shelves. With a little assembly, a fairly sturdy bridge can be built.
Although the underground river is quite turbulent, it is not very wide, so the bridge can be pushed directly to the other side after it is built.
But the problem they are facing now is that the entrance to the cave is too small, so they can only assemble a bridge below, but right below the cave are the reeds that are still growing.
"How did he get through?" Schiller whispered as he stood in front of the cave entrance. "Batman only had 4 skill points at the time. If he maxed out the first aid skill, he would only have point left. Which of the remaining skills could help him avoid Reed's pursuit?"
Just as Schiller was thinking, he saw Greedy and Bruce squatting around the cave entrance discussing.
What do you think about us pulling it up?
"Who are you talking about? This reed monster? It's so big, how can it be pulled up?"
"Then let's pull them one leaf at a time." Greed said, "Pull one less leaf at a time. If we can pull it bald, no one will chase us, right?"
"Good idea, should I get something to seduce it?"
Suddenly Schiller seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Jeff's body in the corner. He had been busy looking at the wound before, but only then did he notice that the body had been moved.
He immediately understood how Batman did it.
Greed is everyone's equal
