Chapter 55 My Dad Gave Me a Sentence
Episode 55 My dad gave me a sentence
I didn't know what Fu Lin and Shang Hexing were doing, but I suddenly felt that they should have a pretty good relationship.
Because since they were discharged from the hospital, neither of them has fought.
Indeed, we should say that the excellent control ability of rational people is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If someone stabs me in the back, I don't need to ask whether they are really doing it for my own good or have their own reasons. But before we can have a proper discussion, you have to let me beat the other person up first to vent my anger, right?
First, it takes give and take to make the other person believe that you might really forgive him or her. Is that right?
Second, and most importantly, doesn’t your back hurt?
Third, it is also a test of the other party’s loyalty.
If he gets angry with me because he is in pain from being beaten, then he is not sincere at all and you should not get along with him.
To sum up, I think that after experiencing this incident, even if Fu Lin and Shang Hexing will still be at loggerheads with each other on the surface, they will actually become the most inseparable and tacit friends in each other's lives.
The two lonely souls eventually become each other's degradable DNA samples, becoming "materials" that can be analyzed and understood by each other, and find the most fundamental integrity.
This seemingly conditional fate, in fact no one can tell whether it is part of destiny.
I am really happy for these two people and look forward to the day when they return to the world.
After expressing my feelings, I started searching for related terms about "VITA" on the Internet after filling out the autopsy report because I did not receive any follow-up call.
Now that everyone is back, it's time to advance the plot and let them finish this game mission as soon as possible.
The word "VITA" appears repeatedly in the cases I have experienced so far.
According to the detective code or Chekhov's gun, the things they have to solve will also be related to "VITA".
In the first comic, I remember there was a comment analyzing the meaning of "VITA". If we exclude the fact that it is an English abbreviation, then it most likely means "life", which is exactly the opposite of the meaning of Anubis. If we go back to what we mentioned at the beginning, we Anubis actually have gods that we believe in, so VITA also means "technology".
So we have to guess whether the author is pursuing Sartre's existentialism or Nietzsche's nihilism?
There is too little information given at the moment.
The first case is that VITA members have a sense of individualistic casualness? After all, who would leave a note on a dead woman? Not to mention that the deceased did not have a deep social background, and the person who placed the note might not really know the truth.
In the second case, from Tang Li's identity background, we can know that VITA is indeed an organization, not just a name for personal activities. The nature of the organization is unclear. Is it a terrorist organization seeking power and money? Or is there some other illegal organization with other pursuits that we are completely unaware of?
At this rate, this major case will take at least half a year to have any results.
Scouting speed can be time consuming. However, the advantage of detective games is that as long as the player finds the truth, the real murderer or the mastermind, the whole game will end. How will the subsequent story develop? For example, confirmation of guilt in a court of law? The player is not responsible for the rest of the victim's life or the rest of the lives of the people involved in this story.
All I have to do is help them investigate what the secret of the entire city is.
Help them push the progress...
The two people had not met before and there was no definite conclusion. I thought there was no need to start the investigation too early, as it would easily lead to complications.
Now is the time.
If all goes well, I hope to guide them from the current case to start investigating the organization behind VITA.
Thinking of this, I took out my cell phone again and made an appointment for lunch with Ms. Zheng and Mr. Li.
*
My parents have a break at one o'clock.
Our break schedule is rotated, which ensures that there is always someone in the office during the lunch break for the entire department. I've thought about having lunch together before. But my break time was at 12 o'clock, and I had just arrived at the department, so it was time for me to get along well with the teachers and seniors in the department, so I didn't have time to have dinner with my parents.
I specially exchanged my rest time with my senior today.
We had some noodles in the restaurant for lunch, and three side dishes: eggplant, potato and meat sauce, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried loofah with shrimps.
My mother kept her hair pinned up, and when she saw my hair was loose while I was eating, she asked me if I wanted the pins.
She has black ones.
Before I met acquaintances of the same age, I had no idol image when eating in a restaurant. After all, I have been eating here since I was a child, and the older generations remember clearly all the stupid or embarrassing things I have done, including losing teeth while eating during the teeth replacement period. I still remember that Director Zhan arrived at the Appraisal Center eight years later than I did. When he first arrived, some people deliberately made trouble for him, saying that I was a senior and important cadre of the Appraisal Center. They always had to greet me before meals and ask for my signature when asking for instructions. The seniors would always give me an extra candy because of my cooperation. It wasn't until he saw me eating with my parents that he suddenly realized something.
Later, no one would have thought that he would become my teacher.
I really want it, but every time I do this, there is always a Shanghe Star behind me.
I just let my bangs down.
So I said firmly, "It's okay."
My dad also glanced at my hair and advised, "Why don't you cut it? It's a little long. Get a pair of scissors from the lab table."
In fact, the length of my hair is just right. It doesn’t fall to my shoulders and it’s not difficult to comb. But after cutting my hair short, it becomes hard and frizzy, making it difficult to take care of. I don't really like using hair wax. As hair grows longer, it becomes softer and easier to manage.
So I refused again.
My dad poured a lot of scrambled eggs with tomatoes into my noodles until the eggs were higher than the rim of the bowl. My mother followed suit and said, “I heard you guys took on a very interesting case, one where a parrot killed someone.”
My dad also heard about it and was very happy when he heard it. "I thought the parrot witnessed the murder and either identified the murderer or imitated the victim's last words. It turned out that the parrot killed the person itself and died of carbon monoxide poisoning. This murderer is really interesting. We need to check his academic qualifications."
My mother followed suit and said something venomous, "Either the victim had a camping gas stove at home with bite marks on the switch, or there were bird bite marks on the air conditioner switch in the car. This murderer really doesn't want to use his brain."
After they finish speaking, they also want to verify with me whether their ideas are correct.
The reason I think so is that there was a similar case in New York in 1899, where a pet parrot killed an American rich girl. However, this case was not about someone maliciously taking advantage of the parrot's natural habit of chewing. Rather, the parrot's beak grew as it grew, causing it to always chew indoor objects. The tragedy was caused by the owner's failure to discipline it.
In previous criminology textbooks, this parrot murder case was also a classic example of "animal habit murder." For them, when we see the keywords "parrot" and "carbon monoxide poisoning", it will be easy for us to get the idea at the first reaction. It’s just like when you do the math problem “1+2+…+98+99+100”, because you know the story of the mathematician Gauss, you can directly get the answer of 5050.
The new teaching materials that Xiaozhuang and his classmates use do not contain any examples of this kind. Instead, they mostly contain information such as "releasing poisonous snakes and other ferocious beasts to bite people" and "training dogs to attack targets."
Because this kind of use of animals to kill people is mostly intended to create accidents.
The mindset that venomous snakes and other ferocious animals are prone to causing accidents has become deeply rooted. Animals like dogs are very smart and can learn a lot, which can easily lead to blind spots in criminal investigations. So this can be used to create the illusion of surprise.
Therefore, the method of killing birds by exploiting their instincts was gradually eliminated.
One reason is that the nature of birds is well known to pet owners, and is well understood and corrected, so if it has lived with humans for a while and exhibits abnormal behavior, people will definitely be suspicious. Second, the directions and areas in which birds can be trained are limited and easily predictable.
It can be said that the case of the parrot killing people was withdrawn because people nowadays rarely do such stupid things.
And the fact that he still uses this method to kill people obviously shows that he thinks it has not been put on the table and is a blind spot of knowledge that everyone is not aware of. He did not expect that this method has been eliminated by others. This is also the reason why my parents think this case is "interesting" -
I never thought someone would use such an old method to cause an accident.
Of course, there are certainly other possibilities.
We usually don’t think further, such as “the murderer actually did all this on purpose for us to see”, because this will make the subsequent developments particularly boring, and we will also feel that we have raised our expectations too easily.
"The clues should be easy to find, right?" my dad asked.
I said, "There are at least three suspicious points in the case: The first is that Xiaobai was taught to shout "Don't kill me" to Mingzhi. ”
Mingzhi doesn't appear in the store often, so from the time Mingzhi last appeared to this time when he met Xiaobai, there was someone who was specifically interacting with Xiaobai. It is known that Xiaobai will be exposed to the public between 11 am and 4 am, and is looked after by the keeper Mingsheng at other known times, so the murderer needs to use a more limited time than expected to teach Xiaobai to say this sentence.
Of course, the police also considered that this sentence was a last word. But this statement was quickly overturned by the fact that there was no sign of struggle or resistance on the surface of the corpse. If Mingsheng did not resist, then he condoned Mingzhi's crime, so why bother to "report" the murderer? If Mingsheng had no way to resist and died unconsciously, how could he have said those last words?
Therefore, the "legacy theory" is almost untenable.
"Second, if the murderer committed carbon monoxide murder, why did he dump the body in the Warren River?"
Generally, people who do this kind of unconventional behavior either have their own demands or want to provide an alibi.
"Third, why were there so many layers of disguise? From dumping the body to cover up the cause of death, to using Xiaobai to frame Mingzhi, and then using Xiaobai to cover up the death caused by carbon monoxide, this is also a suspicious point. This has reached the point of being unnecessary."
My mother said very calmly, "This shows that although there is only one murderer, there is more than one person who has contributed to the Warren River drowning case. Perhaps, everyone in the coffee shop is a liar. Fortunately, these disguises are not unified, which means that they have not formed a high degree of cooperation. The police just need to defeat them one by one."
I agreed with what he said, so I nodded and said, "Ms. Zheng, you are right. What you said makes a lot of sense."
My mother didn't take my praise seriously. "This is just a small case. It just takes some time to find the murderer."
Seeing that my mother was also in a good mood, I took the opportunity to say, "Ms. Zheng, I actually have a small question to ask."
"you say……"
Ms. Zheng looked up and added a few more spoonfuls of eggplant, potato and meat sauce to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. This forced me to lower my head and eat a few more bites to avoid spilling it. When I lowered my head to eat, my mother pinned my annoying bangs to my ears with a hairpin. As I heard the “click”, I could only pretend that I didn’t notice that I was being treated like a child again.
I finally finished a few bites and said, "During my first week of internship, someone at the Identification Center stuffed a note into a corpse? Do you know who did it?"
"It's just a prank, there's nothing to take seriously?" my dad asked casually.
"Putting a note in a corpse's mouth is a serious prank." I felt that my father's attitude of trying to keep things quiet was not up to standard. "Who is this person?"
My mother asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Did Fu Lin ask you to ask this?"
"I just suddenly remembered it and asked." I said, "Because I am quite interested in the word VITA. It seems to be an organization. I don't know how to look it up?"
My dad and mom looked at each other, and then my dad reached out to me for my cell phone.
I didn't understand what was going on, but I waited for a while and let my dad do it while I continued eating.
It can't be that my dad has already infiltrated VITA and is taking me into the organization with him, right?
Then my three views will definitely be shattered.
Just as I was trying to hide my anxiety and nervousness, fearing that my life would suddenly unfold differently, I tried hard to eat.
My father didn't wait long. At least before I had finished swallowing the noodles, he handed me the phone with only one sentence displayed on it.
"That Fu Lin and Shang Hexing have been staring at you at your three o'clock position."
When I read this sentence clearly, I almost spit out my food and my image was almost completely destroyed.
What are they doing! ?
I don’t know what I was thinking, but I hid myself and the bowl under the table.
