Whenever there is a simple solution to a complex problem in this world, it makes countless people who are constantly working on it feel like complete idiots.
And this is not meaningless, because their headless busyness will provide laughter for another group of people, that is, the fun people who know that this is a village of fools, but still live here to observe the various behaviors of living beings.
When Lex saw the transparent cover in Bruce's hand, he didn't know what he was going to say for a moment, but Bruce put the thing on the table with a snap.
Lex leaned his head over to look, and saw a small figure flying under the transparent glass cover. It was a mosquito.
This left Lex in a trance, thinking that the world's greatest detective might be driven crazy by the riddles he couldn't solve.
Then, Bruce understood Schiller's joy in watching all this. It was really funny to watch a genius ask "Are you serious?", "Why?" and "Why?" with a confused look on his face.
And if a group of people did this at the same time, the level of fun would increase more than ten times, so Bruce immediately summoned all the people who knew the answer and announced the answer to them.
"The summer killer is the mosquito."
Everyone was silent, and then there was a series of "Are you serious?", "Why?", "Why?" that both Bruce and Schiller were happy to see.
But the truth is surprisingly simple.
Previously, people in Gotham couldn't stand the scorching heat of midsummer and fell down one after another. Pamela also couldn't stand the harsh weather, so she gave Lex two pots of her newly developed guard plants.
These two potted flowers are very eloquent, but after chasing Lex for two weeks, Lex used his genius to improve the machine that controls Gotham's weather. He can artificially control rain clouds and rainfall.
Note that the rain clouds used by Lex were made by himself, not naturally formed. The water in them is clean, has no chemical pollution, and does not contain any components of acid rain.
Mosquito larvae live in water.
There used to be no mosquitoes in Gotham, but the reasons are complicated. On the one hand, the temperature is not up to standard, and it has become even colder since the underground cold storage was built. The blood-sucking mosquito species on the East Coast cannot breed here.
On the other hand, there is a lack of water bodies where mosquito larvae live. The water bodies in Gotham contain things that Mendeleev could have continued to write two million words on the periodic table of elements. This is still a bit too advanced for mosquitoes.
In fact, it stands to reason that insects are more adaptable than other animals. The sparrows in Gotham can evolve to be as big as an eagle, so mosquitoes should be no problem.
But Gotham's poisonous water bodies poison the larvae of such creatures, and the larvae are not that strong. Mosquitoes lose their lives. A very important part of reproduction, that is, a stable brooding environment, can be said to have been eliminated by nature.
But the sudden high temperature in Gotham brought an extremely hot summer, which was not a good thing for humans, but it became a paradise for other life forms that had been dormant for a long time, and mosquitoes were no exception.
The subsequent rainfall perfectly satisfied the mosquitoes' needs for reproduction. Mosquito larvae grew happily in clean and pollution-free water, and it did not take long to grow into adults.
But other animals and even plants in Gotham are busy doing their jobs, so how can mosquitoes lag behind?
There is no chemical pollution in the water in the rain cloud created by Lex, but all water bodies that can exist in Gotham are inevitably affected by the dark energy buried in the metal, so after the rain cloud existed for a few days, it returned to the tunnel.
The old taste of Gotham.
When the number of mosquitoes increases, it is inevitable that a few lucky ones affected by this power will mutate, just like those sparrows and seagulls. However, the uniqueness of the blood-sucking mosquito species is that its way of survival is the same as that of humans.
Perform body fluid exchange.
According to their racial talents, the mutated mosquitoes are full of virology and bacterial transmission, and they have also evolved a toxin that specializes in the kidneys.
And it completely ignores the law that regardless of the dose, talking about toxicity is rogue. As long as the mouthpart penetrates, it is a sure hit like the will of the universe. Moreover, the onset is urgent and fast, and there is not much room for rescue.
And the reason why the people who were recruited at the beginning were all members of the Twelve Families, and there was no conspiracy against the gangs, it was just because each of these people had a big garden at home, and when it was too hot, they would go to the garden to escape the heat, and they went there a lot.
The probability of getting tricked is naturally high.
And the people at the bottom are not unaffected, but ordinary people can't attract much attention even if they die. There are so many people dying in strange ways in Gotham every day, so what about swollen Michelin tires? As long as they can be burned and the ashes are
It's not a big problem if you throw it into the sea.
Only the gangsters who had killed important figures made a fuss about this. Even when Bruce and Lex were conducting a series of complex reasoning, some ordinary people in Gotham had already discovered that the problem was mosquitoes and began to organize anti-mosquito operations.
And Schiller would discover the truth in advance purely because of the cicada that Victor found outside the office.
At first, Schiller did think that this was a serial murder case, and conducted a serious investigation, but found no clues. He just thought that the killer might have some special abilities.
But later, when he went to work at Gotham University, he found that Victor had kept the cicada in a transparent ecological tank, and then he was besieged by almost all the teachers in the group because the thing was too noisy.
No one else noticed anything wrong, but Schiller discovered that it was not that this type of cicada was very noisy, but that this cicada and the other cicadas outside the window were a little too noisy.
While Victor was away, Schiller took out the cicada he kept in the ecological tank and studied it. Then he discovered that this small insect was probably mutated by pollution like other animals.
Pamela said before that the pollution of Gotham's soil comes more from water pollution. All parts of the land where groundwater flows through can easily grow deadly plants. So the insect known as the "Seventeen-year Cicada" has been buried for a long time.
The larvae in the soil are also very likely to have mutated due to the influence of water pollution.
This made Schiller think, did insects that had never appeared in Gotham before become extinct so quietly?
Of course it can't be that simple. As I said, the adaptability of insects is unique in the entire animal kingdom. It makes no sense that birds can adapt and mutate, but insects are kicked out of the game.
The only possibility is that they have been dormant quietly, waiting for the climate to be suitable before erupting on a large scale, and many bugs are poisonous.
At this point of inference, Schiller still has not locked down the specific suspect. However, unfortunately, in order to repair the garden, Schiller has been active in the garden of the manor these days, and the probability of him being targeted is very high.
So, within a few days, a mosquito that had thrown itself into a trap landed on Hui Wu, and Hui Wu was startled.
Ordinary mosquitoes will not try to bite Schiller, because in their judgment Schiller is not a human being, which means he does not exist. However, the mutated mosquitoes in Gotham also have the attributes of Gotham animals, that is, no matter who they meet,
Dare to touch it.
The mutated mosquito bit Hui Wu, but it actually didn't bite anything. However, it was successfully captured by Hui Wu, and then Schiller knew who the so-called "Summer Killer" was.
After successive deductions by Bruce, Lex and Schiller, the criminal trajectory of this little criminal was finally completed for everyone. To put it simply, mosquitoes follow their natural instinct to hunt humans, and stupid humans make a fuss about it and scare themselves.
.
"You can't say that. Gordon touched his chin and stared at the small glass cover, and then said: "The poison of this thing is still very deadly. If it bites the locals, it will cause such a big trouble. If it bites
Is that okay for tourists?”
"I think we should introduce measures to prevent and control mosquitoes." Roy stretched out a finger and said: "We have so many talented scientists, can we always find a way to eliminate mosquitoes?"
"I think preventing mutation is the first priority." Bruce folded his arms and said thoughtfully: "Ordinary mosquitoes are not so lethal. As long as mutated mosquitoes do not appear, humans will be safe."
"But Gotham is a ghost place where even the plants you raise can hit people. How do you block the ubiquitous dark influence?" Pamela turned around and asked.
"Perhaps we can find a way to create a city-wide water purification system." Lex suggested: "As long as we change the water frequently, we can ensure that certain toxins in the rainwater do not accumulate to a concentration that causes mutation, and we can naturally prevent the emergence of mutated mosquitoes.
"
"Will mutations be inherited?" Bruce frowned: "Perhaps we can manipulate the genes at the genetic level so that mosquitoes with mutated genes cannot reproduce, which can effectively limit their number and harm."
"That's too far away. What we need now is to eliminate these mutated mosquitoes." Roy brought the topic back to the topic and said: "We can't let them bite tourists and important people attending the music festival."
"It's a bit too difficult to kill mosquitoes all the way. It's okay if it's in the early stages of breeding. Now that they've become a common phenomenon, is it necessary to kill them manually?" Gordon shook his head, looking a little troubled.
Schiller interrupted the discussion with a sigh.
Everyone turned to look at him, and Schiller looked around at everyone else and said, "Haven't you guys learned a lesson from this case?"
"What?" Bruce asked.
"Nature is the most powerful killer, and her unintentional creations are much smarter than the most intelligent serial killers in mankind."
"So?" Gordon asked still somewhat puzzled, but Pamela seemed to have understood Schiller's meaning and nodded.
Schiller stood up from his seat, as if he was about to leave. He looked back at the desk calendar hanging in his office and said, "Summer is almost over."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Gordon and the others were still a little confused.
But Pamela looked out the window at the plants that were gradually becoming less lush. The lush dark green had become lighter and darker. Instead, the mountains in the fog in the distance were dyed bit by bit with brilliant orange and orange.
Purple red.
"Autumn is coming, and the Summer Killer won't live long."
Gordon suddenly understood, and Pamela said with emotion.
"Nature is indeed the greatest killer. It can destroy a race in an instant and resurrect them in the next reincarnation, turning life and death into art that exhausts the magnificent imagination of life."
"And human beings who claim to be geniuses are just fools chasing after the seasons. This entire civilized society is just a small village in the endless mountains, rivers and lakes, a fragment of nature's belly."
"And if we talk about the difference between humans who are busy running around for her little glance and Kunyu Linjia, it is probably the area that Green of All Things and Red of All Living Things have never set foot in - the summer in Fool's Village, which belongs to
Gotham’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Hahahahaha the answer is written at the beginning!
