"Now!"
Schiller's sudden raised voice pulled everyone out of their fantasy. They didn't react for a moment, and even Ellie who was standing there was frightened.
"Tell me, young lady, what kind of mind does the murderer possess?"
Ellie said, taking a deep breath.
"He is a...very cruel man."
Before she could say the next word, Schiller continued: "Yes, but you are more cruel than he is, because you are so cold-blooded that you want to perfunctory me with such meaningless and talentless clichés. Do you hate me, Miss?"
Ellie's face immediately turned red.
At this time, a boy next to her stood up and said, "Professor, you can't make personal attacks on students."
"'No talent' is not a personal attack." Schiller shook his head and said seriously: "It's just an evaluation from me. You can choose not to accept it... But then again, did you really not accept it? Didn't you realize that what I said was right?"
"Well, Mr. Holder, do you have any advice?"
"He is a pervert. He desires women but he wants to humiliate them, so he cuts open their bodies, takes out their reproductive organs, peels off their skin and stuffs them with straw, which is a humiliation."
"I take back what I said before. If Miss Ellie just has no talent, I will use my best writing skills to write you a letter of recommendation for transfer. If someone disagrees, I will try to convince him."
The boy called Holder clenched his fists tightly.
"You want to ask me what you said is wrong. You think you just said what is shown in the handouts. In your opinion, this is his motive. Maybe it's the same in your opinion."
Schiller looked away from Holder's face, then looked at the others and said, "But do you think you can catch the murderer with this? A pervert who humiliates women?"
The atmosphere fell silent again. Of course, everyone else knew that this was impossible. Even if we take a step back, who would write the word pervert on their face?
"That doesn't make sense, professor." Another boy stood up and said, "We can't see enough psychological characteristics of the other party through these case materials. Even if we can see it, if he doesn't say it, we can't be sure who the criminal is. Even if it makes sense, we can't approve a search warrant without evidence."
“Why can’t it be approved?”
"Because there isn't enough evidence."
“Do you want to convince others with evidence?”
The boy choked for a moment, but still nodded and said, "We should focus on real evidence. We can't just make random guesses based on our own assumptions, right?"
"The police use evidence to arrest criminals, and the court uses evidence to try criminals. What a perfect system. Why do you have to interfere with it as a non-police officer or judge?"
Schiller looked at them and said.
"Because you think you are very special, far superior to ordinary police officers and judges, and you should have a position above them, but you are unwilling to bear the responsibilities that come with this identity."
"You know that the Justice League is destined to have more power than the police and judges in ordinary society. If you can join it, it means that you are above the vast majority of life on this planet. It is a proof of your talent and ability."
"But you are not willing to take more responsibility for this power, and just want to use the system that ordinary people use. Because if you do things wrong according to this system, it is the fault of this system, the loopholes in the law, and the inability of society, not your fault."
"The methods we have developed over so many years are all wrong, so you don't have to blame yourself. No matter what, it's the human society that is not perfect. What does it have to do with you?"
"You want to be above the ordinary people in society, but you dare not make a choice that is above the law, and you dare not be responsible for such a choice, so you keep saying that the law requires evidence."
"If you like the interlocking evidence collection system, then leave here, return to Earth, join the industry that owns this system, and become a policeman or a judge, instead of being a third party and shamelessly interfering."
Schiller stopped, stood in front of the podium and looked at them and said, "Superman used his super hearing to hear the conspiracy and arrested the criminals in one fell swoop. Do you think there is a problem with this?"
The students were silent for a long time before someone slowly shook his head.
"But this is actually illegal evidence collection, because recordings must be made with the consent of the other party to be counted as evidence. Wiretapping recordings are not admissible in court, and it is even more impossible to approve a search warrant for wiretapping without even a recording."
"But what he heard is still a kind of evidence." Someone said: "This can prove that someone is committing a crime. If I heard it, I would also fight crime."
"So you have super hearing?"
The student shook his head.
"Suppose this group of people were plotting next door to you, and you didn't have super hearing and didn't know what they were saying, and the next day your neighbor was killed, would you think you were responsible for it?"
The student hesitated, but nodded. He said, "They will probably do something abnormal before they start. If I can see that, I should be able to stop them."
"What if not?"
"There should be...sometimes."
"If there were, the regular police would have caught them. What would you do?"
The student was speechless.
"That's the problem, kids." Schiller tapped the podium and said, "You are here to learn what ordinary police can't do, because it is obvious that most of the opponents you will face in the future cannot be arrested by ordinary police."
"If you set your highest goal as becoming an excellent criminal police, then you can definitely become the best criminal police in ordinary society, but even such a criminal police cannot catch a criminal who can fly."
"The footprints disappeared at the window. You tried everything you could to find no clues of his escape, but the fact is that the criminal flew away."
"A person died in a secret room that was impossible to be broken into. Everyone checked all the clues they could find and confirmed that it was impossible for a second person to have entered this house. The fact is that the criminal used magic to kill people thousands of miles away."
"Tell me, when faced with a criminal like this, how do you rely on solid evidence and rigorous reasoning to make him pay the price he deserves?"
"But if we know these things, know that someone can fly, and know that someone can perform magic, after eliminating all impossible answers, the one that remains must be the answer," someone said.
"You are confident in your reasoning, which is a good thing, but how do you convince the jury with your reasoning?"
The student who spoke sat down again.
"The fact is that it's not true." Schiller shook his head and said, "The evidence we can find on the super criminals is the same as the inference made by Miss Jenna. Neither can convince the jury."
"Even her nonsense inferring from the results is more convincing to the jury than your conclusion that the criminal can fly after eliminating all possibilities."
Everyone looked at Jenna.
Jenna was still acting heartbroken, mainly because she realized Schiller had noticed her, and she didn't want to make eye contact with this monster, so she kept covering her face with her hands.
The students were quiet, but this time it was no longer a silent rejection, but rather they were thinking about what Schiller had said.
The vast majority of them thought Schiller had a point.
The problem is that the atmosphere of this school is too ordinary, just like an ordinary school in human society, with teachers and students. Except for the huge fireball hanging outside the window, it seems no different from the Earth.
This did not make them realize deeply and thoroughly that they were actually completely separated from the society of ordinary people.
They were not made to realize that the purpose of their studies here was to deal with super criminals who were far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
As for super criminals, no matter how rigorous the evidence collection is, it will all seem nonsense to the jury. Even if you have captured high-definition footage of the criminal flying, for the sake of social stability, they will say that you made it up.
As Schiller said, the nonsense that Jenna made up, which was based on various aspects of religion and theology, might be more easily regarded as valid evidence.
So in fact, all the evidence is for the accuracy of the reasoning results, not to prove it to anyone, but to catch the real murderer.
On the other hand, as long as the real murderer can be identified, any method will be the same.
Even if you really do theology and God tells you the name of the murderer, there is absolutely no problem as long as the result is accurate.
"You must be wondering," Schiller said again, "If any method of reasoning is acceptable, how can I be sure that my method of reasoning is effective?"
The students began to concentrate, and the atmosphere in the classroom gradually became calmer instead of dead silence.
"Of course, it is through learning and testing during this period of time." Schiller said: "If you achieve an accuracy rate of more than 90%, then it naturally proves that your reasoning method is effective, and there will be no problem in continuing to use this method to infer the murderer."
Suddenly a student raised his hand and said, "What if someone improved their accuracy by peeking at the answers?"
"Where's the answer to peeking?"
"Uh, in the teacher's office?"
"Then why didn't you see it?"
"You can't do this! This is... this is immoral..."
"You mean you want to be a moral role model while being a secret agent?"
"Uh……"
The student was unable to answer again, because it was obvious that the word "agent" had nothing to do with morality since its creation.
"The existence of agents is to prevent cheating. Otherwise, why do we need agents when we already have police?" Schiller said lightly, "It's her ability that she was able to enter the teacher's office and successfully see the answers. What you should do is reflect on why you can't do it, instead of accusing her of cheating."
Another student wanted to speak, but Schiller interrupted him before he could do so and said, "If you think she is using the honey trap, then I can only tell you that the honey trap is actually the most successful strategy for stealing intelligence among spies. Anyone who can use it will use it. If you can't use it, first reflect on whether you are not beautiful enough."
The student sat down again with a red face.
"Think carefully, has anyone ever warned you sternly about what you must not do?" Schiller asked, "Even the most righteous superman, has he ever instilled moral concepts in you during his lectures?"
"I believe they didn't do that because they know exactly where your future is headed. You don't dare to go down that path because you've been disciplined by social rules and moral standards for too long."
"You are the ones who are truly pedantic, old-fashioned, and don't have the courage to break free. This is not justice, it's just stupidity."
"And the truly smart people..." Schiller dragged out the words and looked at Jenna. Jenna instinctively put down her hands slowly. In the moment when they looked at each other, Jenna said the second half of the sentence she wanted to say.
“…It’s like living among monkeys all the time.”
When these words came out, Jenna took a breath and cursed in her heart with the foulest curse words in her native language.
It's over, there is no way out, she thought, Schiller is really a monster, this time she is really going to be tricked.
Sure enough, all the looks directed at her were more hostile than before. This hostility was no longer the kind of cold sarcasm that people thought she would be exposed at any time, but a burning desire to fight.
Jenna could already see herself being constantly challenged by everyone and having a never-ending future. She was being excluded just now, but when she turned around, she found that the boss was actually herself.
"Tell me what you think, miss." Schiller gave her a slightly cold smile.
Jenna could only grit her teeth and say it.
"My pleasure, Professor."
