Chapter 3513 Research on Cats and Dogs (Sixty-one)
Schiller stood there, sighed softly, and said, "Mr. Police Officer, the most urgent task now is to figure out who did the disappearance and murder case, and to bring the real murder to justice. This will prevent more tragedies from happening. You and I know this."
"You can think I'm suspicious, but in fact, someone like me can barely be called a professional in this small town. I can help with it professionally."
"More importantly, most people here don't want to really find out the real murderer, they just want to fool this. But you and I are not, we both want to find out the truth. This means that it is much more useful to work with me than to lock me up here."
Schiller began to pace the room and continued, "Think about it, Betty and his daughter appeared in Yoton's cellar, which means he is likely to be the murderer of the missing case. But Yoton is dead."
"The Yotons may not want to find out the truth, they will try their best to cover up the matter. Then the tragedy of the youngest daughter of the Yotons may be staged again, because of the strong protests of the Yotons, the whole thing is so incomplete."
"Our time is limited. Once the Yotons come back, they will definitely have an impact on the investigation. I'm afraid that if you don't want to give up, you have to give up."
"In a limited time, it is too late to expect the city to send people or wait for professional analysis reports. They will be able to come back as soon as tonight. If you can't come up with conclusive evidence before this, you may get administrative leave tonight."
"If most technical means cannot be used, almost no physical evidence can be found. The only breakthrough is human evidence. However, the confessions that seem to be useful at present come from two children."
"Betty is the victim, and Elsa is not a direct witness. It is extremely difficult to find the murderer. What's even more difficult is how to get as much useful information as possible from them without hurting them."
"So, I said I could help. Interrogation skills for adults cannot be used on children, but I can use some psychological means to ask more clues from them, and ensure that they will not cause any harm."
"If you want, let me stay with them for a while, it will only take half an hour. I believe you have such prestige, Mr. John."
John stood there silently. Schiller's words made sense of emotion and reason, and said everything he could say, and he seemed to have nothing to say.
He knew that Schiller was right. The Yotons and his wife had a close relationship with Middleton's police chief. The matter with his youngest daughter was that they had been suppressed by their friendship, and this time it was probably the same.
The breakthrough now is two little girls, but all the police present had no experience in inquiring about the children, and he himself did not. Schiller, a professional, became the only choice.
It seems that nothing is wrong, but is it all too coincidental?
After thinking for dozens of seconds, John made a decision. In any case, he needed to know the truth, which at least allowed him to give Catherine an explanation when he went to church next time.
"I can give you half an hour," John said, "but you'd better get useful information, otherwise even me, there's no way to convince the Director."
Schiller nodded. Of course he had confidence. The moment he killed Yoton, he expected the current situation.
Betty is the key. Although she is just an ordinary little girl, she touches John's heart. John will pay special attention to her various situations and may even break the principles for her. In this case, with the help of Betty, Schiller can uncover the tip of the iceberg of Malafarke's conspiracy to John.
Then he would not have to find a way to deal with Malafark by himself. Mars Hunter Rong would let him know what his brother's iron fist was.
Schiller was taken to Betty's room by the police. Betty was still the same: she was a little distracted and had no attention. She would only repeat those few words if anyone said anything to her.
Although in Schiller's opinion, the brainwashing performance was already obvious, and even ordinary policemen thought she was a little wrong, non-professionals could not find a suitable reason to explain all this. What Schiller needed was to give this reason from a professional perspective.
After the door closed, Schiller began to ask Betty repeatedly some questions, basically the details of her meeting with Jotton. Betty only talks in the same way, and after asking questions, they just said a few words.
Schiller didn't want to get any earth-shaking secrets from her. All he wanted was Betty's abnormal behavior, the more abnormal the better.
After all, mental ability is an innate talent for Martians, just like their arms. If a human palm print with five fingers suddenly appears on a planet full of tentacle monsters, any human will find it very eye-catching.
Humans do not have the mental power, so they cannot explain Betty's current situation; but Martians are born to understand this, and they can understand it at a glance.
After the time came, Schiller left the room and gently closed the door. He knew that John should have seen the situation in the room through the surveillance camera.
But he sighed with a little concern and said, "Betty is in a bad state. Although I can't be completely sure, I think she might have been hypnotized by someone."
John's face was gloomy and terrifying. He said in a deep voice: "Are you sure? Who hypnotized her?"
"I'm just a psychologist, not God. I can only tell you the result through Betty's state, and there's no way to trace it back to the source." Schiller shook his head gently, "I can only tell you that the people who brainwash her are very rough and the brainwashing level is very deep, and I don't have a good way."
"If I had enough time, maybe I could go back to the East Coast to consult with my teachers and classmates, but it is obviously not possible now. If we cannot break through brainwashing, we may not be able to find traces of the real murderer who was covered up."
Before Schiller's helpless performance was finished, John walked sideways over to him, opened the door and entered the room.
Schiller followed and walked in. After all, although he was very sure that John is a real Mars Hunter now, it would be better to be cautious before the answer was announced.
After Schiller walked in, he saw John squatting down in front of Betty, reached out and touched her head, and asked her a few questions. As expected, he got the same answer.
Now Betty's entire state is like an automatic reply program with a set of answers: as long as there are murder cases, she will only have a few replies, and it will be the same from any angle.
Besides this automatic reply program, her other programs seem to be no longer working. She neither showed anxiety or tension about her current situation nor cried like an ordinary child, and kept sitting there and distracted.
John was about to say something when the door was knocked. He was called out by another policeman, and his face turned even worse when he came back.
Schiller could probably guess what he had encountered. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the police station should have planned to narrow the scope of investigation and minimize the impact of this matter.
Seeing John's eyes, Schiller knew that he must have made a decision. So he left the room, closed the door, and went to another room to find Elsa.
The female police officer was playing with Aisha before. Seeing Schiller coming, Aisha rushed over. Schiller touched her head and nodded to the female police officer. The female police officer smiled and left.
Schiller and Elsa sat down together. Elsa glanced at the room where Betty was, lowered her voice and said, "What if she recovers her memory and gives you something?"
Schiller shook his head and said nothing.
In fact, this is the last level to test whether John is a real Mars Hunter.
If Mars Hunter Ronge broke his principles and used the Martian mental abilities, he would naturally find that Schiller had rescued Betty from the cellar.
This means that Schiller didn't know nothing as he said, and he also had enough reasons to have conflicts with Jotun and had a motive for murder.
With this, John was enough to convince the police chief to investigate Schiller. Because Schiller was a foreigner, if he really committed the case, he could not blame the police chief for his poor management and had no impact on the reputation of the Jotun family. It was a happy ending.
But the premise is that Betty has to stand up and point out Schiller.
If Betty stands up and points out Schiller, she has to restore her memory. If it were Malafarke, she would have done so.
Malafark is not stupid. He met Schiller when he invaded Gotham University. Although Schiller did not show any special performance at that time, now when he sees him here, he will definitely know that he is not a simple person.
I believe he would be very willing to use this to cause trouble for Schiller.
But Rongen wouldn't do that.
His mother was killed in front of him, and he lived in the same room with the corpse for several days. This memory is a catastrophe for any child.
Fortunately, someone hypnotized her, which put her into a confused automatic reply mode, which made her not have any trouble for the time being. But once this mode is removed and the real memory returns, her spirit and personality may collapse in an instant.
Not everyone can build a tower with fragments. Betty is just an ordinary little girl. Such an experience is enough to spend the rest of her life in a mental hospital.
Rongen would never allow such a thing to happen. Putting aside his daughter, he is also an upright and good man, full of compassion and empathy, and will not sit idly by and watch this tragedy.
After reading the truth from Betty's memory, the real Mars Hunter had only one choice: that is, to help her erase this memory.
It can be said that if John, who came out of the door next, did not point the gun directly at Schiller, he would definitely be the Mars Hunter.
For Schiller, the indifference and cruelty in the heart of the ruthless person is like a bright light in the darkness. Even if it is far away, it can always be easily seen and distinguished by very simple means.
People often say that "feeling is always annoying for ruthlessness", and it seems that even more evil and ruthless people can go further - "Despicable is the passport of the despicable, and noble is the epitaph of the noble."
But in fact, psychopaths will attract and eat each other, just like one after another of greedy hornfish, which not only attracts other prey with the lamp above its head, but also swims with the light until it meets another more powerful monster, swallows it up, and then digests it all.
