Chapter 2996: The Green Trees Are Thick and the Summer Is Long (Thirty)
About the day before Nygma was killed, he called Edward. No one knew what they talked about on the phone, but Gordon guessed that Nygma may have deliberately provoked Edward and revealed his location in order to lure Edward over.
But Edward went to find Cobert, which should have been beyond Nygma's expectations. The two of them set a trap for Nygma together.
Nygma lured Edward over to stimulate him to hurt himself. Edward might have really broken in like that, but he didn't really hurt Nygma. He might have just knocked him out and made him believe that he was hurt.
Then he sent the refrigeration device into the opponent's stomach. Considering that there were no signs of external injuries, it could only be sent through the esophagus. Considering that the thing was not big, it was still very likely.
Then this thing froze Nygma, the principle was similar to how Victor froze his wife, it could make a person lose all vital signs and their body temperature would be very low.
So when Nygma was found in the alley, everyone thought he was dead. Even the professional forensic doctor could not see any signs of life.
However, abnormal body temperature will soon be discovered by forensic doctors, who will want to figure out what is going on. The forensic verification process includes confirming the condition of internal organs, and many times the digestive tract must be opened for inspection.
There is a great possibility that the forensic doctor will cut open the stomach for inspection. Once the refrigeration device in Nygma's stomach is discovered, he will definitely take it out to have a look. Once it is taken out, Nygma will gradually thaw and come back to life.
The forensic doctor thought he was a corpse, so he would not hold back when cutting him, which would inevitably cause a wound in the abdominal cavity. If the person was dead, it would be fine, but if he suddenly came back to life, he would of course have to be sent to the hospital.
When Nygma woke up from the rescue, he only knew that his stomach was injured, which was consistent with his belief that he was stabbed by his nephew.
But most of the police station knew that the wound was not caused by a stab wound at all. He was not injured at all when he was sent here. The forensic doctor thought he was dead, so he opened his abdomen.
In other words, the stabbing incident by the nephew did not happen at all. The facts and his perception did not match, and there were only two possible outcomes.
Most people would think he was lying and that he was framing his nephew, because there were no wounds when he was brought in, so how could he have been stabbed? All his testimony against his nephew seemed like he was lying on purpose to frame him.
But Gordon knew that there was a very small possibility that he was not lying and he really thought that Edward had stabbed him. In order for this to happen, someone had to take action, and that was Schiller.
Gordon actually knew that hypnosis was not that magical, but he also knew that it was actually more magical than he thought. Theoretically, it was unlikely to make a person lie quietly in a room and make him believe that he was stabbed.
However, if someone really broke into someone's office with a knife and stabbed him, and the other person really felt the pain and then lost consciousness, it would be very easy to hypnotize him while he was half asleep and half awake at this time and tell him that someone stabbed him.
Sometimes hypnosis is not even necessary. Coma itself is the brain's self-protection mechanism. After waking up from a coma, it is very normal to have memory confusion, just like forcibly shutting down a computer may cause program errors.
Gordon didn't know whether Schiller could do the former, but he knew he could definitely do the latter. It was easy for Schiller to slightly distort something that had already happened through some misleading behaviors and words, combined with hypnosis.
But this is not a conspiracy, but an open plot, because if Nygma really loves his nephew, he will not say anything, or he will just tell the police in charge in private and try his best not to make a big deal out of it.
Now he was making public the fact that his nephew stabbed him in the name of love. He had walked into a trap himself. Gordon saw it, but he had no way to stop it.
Could he go and tell Nygma that you've been tricked, and the more you shout the more you look like a madman and an idiot?
Moreover, it does not make sense to say that he is determined to uphold legal justice and will not tolerate any sand in his eyes, so he would sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice, because he already knows that his nephew is in a mental hospital and is not a person with full legal capacity. He will not receive more legal punishment. It is meaningless to uphold legal justice in such matters.
If he really wanted to seek justice, he should have troubled the mental hospital and asked them to strengthen their management, so as to protect the interests of his nephew.
And if he did this now, there was only one possibility left, that is, he wanted to make the fact that his nephew went crazy and hurt people known to everyone.
That's why Gordon guessed that he deliberately led Edward over. This is not victim blaming, it's just that he acted a little too obviously.
Of course, if he really came with knife wounds, people would only sympathize with him if he said that, but now everyone knows that he was sent to the police station intact, so the malice hidden in his guiding words is too easy to be detected.
Sure enough, when Gordon went in again, the two young police officers who stayed behind had strange expressions on their faces, and they glanced at Nygma who was crying from time to time. Gordon had no doubt that as soon as they returned to the police station, they would share this matter with their colleagues who had watched Nygma's resurrection with their own eyes.
He also complained that this guy deserved to be so unlucky, as he had no wounds when he was sent here, yet he framed his own nephew.
Even though Nygma had fallen into the trap and there was no possibility of a comeback, Gordon still dutifully told him the truth.
"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't tell you because you were so emotional. But according to the forensic files... you didn't have any injuries when you were taken to the police station."
This sentence hit Nygma directly on the head. Gordon also witnessed what it meant to be a dimensionality reduction attack on IQ. Nygma seemed to be stunned.
"This is impossible! I fainted from excessive blood loss! How could I be in the hospital if I had no wounds?! And my wounds are still hurting..."
The policemen in the room all showed embarrassed expressions, and Gordon really didn't know how to explain it, so he had to call the attending doctor over.
It was time to change the dressing, and the doctor unwound the bandage wrapped around his abdomen. At that moment, Nygma was stunned.
As we all know, wounds caused by being stabbed and wounds caused by being cut are completely different. No matter how hard the knife is used, it is impossible to make such a perfect cross-shaped wound. It is obvious that it was done by someone who is proficient in surgical techniques.
"Impossible... Impossible!" Nygma roared, "You are all lying to me! Has someone bribed you?! You are all speaking for that little bastard!!!"
Now, Gordon felt that this should be the work of Schiller. His works always reveal such black humor. After watching them many times, Gordon could also distinguish them.
In fact, it is very difficult to expose a hypocrite. This is true for everyone. It is still a question of discourse power. If a person behaves politely, gently and reliably in front of everyone, it is very difficult to make people believe that he is an abuser. Countless people are tortured by this dilemma and cannot be freed.
But Schiller had set a perfect trap.
In essence, it is still about taking advantage of the information gap. During the time when Nygma was unconscious, he didn't know what the police had done. What the police did just happened to suit his purpose, but the truth was completely different from what he thought.
And after he woke up, he found that everything was exactly as he imagined. Then he would naturally have inertial thinking and reveal the so-called truth according to his imagination.
But this truth is so different from the facts that the so-called disclosure of the truth has become a malicious frame-up.
In this case alone, Nygma is the victim. Logically, Gordon should help and protect him, but this is the brilliance of this strategy.
If Nygma had no ill intentions at all, he would not have fallen into the trap. If he fell into the trap, it would prove that he did have malicious intentions, and this would easily allow Gordon to see that his malicious intentions were the source of the incident. He had it all to himself, and no matter how kind Gordon was, he could not refute him any more.
The consequences were terrible, because before Gordon came, Nygma, probably in order to build momentum, met with reporters as soon as he woke up, using the same excuse that his nephew stabbed him in the back.
But everyone saw him being taken into the police station and then taken out. If it was just an accidental injury case, why would the victim be taken to the police station?
The reporters squatting outside the police station at that time were not stupid. If you were really stabbed several times by your nephew, how could you come back to life?
These journalists are born hyenas. They will stir up trouble even when there is nothing wrong. Even when there is nothing unusual, they will fabricate stories to show their journalistic charm. They will not stop until they dig deep into the earth to find out this obviously inconsistent situation.
Sure enough, as soon as Gordon walked out of the hospital gate, he was surrounded by a group of reporters, who asked him questions with microphones.
"Chief, is Mr. Nygma insisting that his nephew hurt him because he suffers from some mental illness? Or is the police department asking him to say this in order to evade responsibility?"
"Commissioner Gordon, some people have described this as the worst forensic accident of the century. Does Mr. Nygma's insistence that he was stabbed have anything to do with this? Did the police department put pressure on him?"
"Mr. Director, I'm a reporter from the Gotham Medical Journal. Do you think the Nygma family has a hereditary mental disorder? Is Mr. Nygma's memory disorder related to this?"
"Mr. Director, I'm Mary from the City News. Do you think Mr. Nygma is mentally fit enough to run for mayor? Would he prefer to retreat and receive treatment, or actively fight for it?"
Gordon waved to them and got into the car without saying anything. These were all problems that gave Nygma a headache.
Sitting in the car, Gordon couldn't help but think that in every case committed by Schiller, the fate of the victims showed what they had done before. Although Nygma did not die, was his current situation also consistent with what he had done before?
What is actually more difficult than exposing a hypocrite is proving oneself. Although it is often said not to prove oneself, the underlying logic of this statement is that self-proving can never prove one's innocence, and no matter how much evidence one has, it is not enough.
Once you fall into the vortex of self-justification, you will be pushed further and further until you collapse in despair.
Did Schiller want Nygma to end up in this situation?
That is to say, Nygma has put others in this situation before, right now, just as he did then.
Gordon thought of Edward Nygma who was sent to a mental hospital.
Gordon always felt that sometimes, the outlaw theory that "evil will be punished by evil" was not completely without merit. A policeman like him, even if he knew the truth, would never be able to do anything to the mayoral candidate Mr. Nygma, but Schiller could.
How can an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth be considered another form of justice?
Gordon added in his mind: You should be Batman's teacher.
A hundred alliances! ! Thank you everyone! ! ! !
