"Gao Liqun was eager to know what kind of results his experiment would produce. But mice, cats and dogs couldn't describe their feelings or express their thoughts. They had no so-called concept of self-awareness. Therefore, it is impossible to know what impact reshaping the brain and nerves will have on the mental world. The only possibility to explore this proposition is to conduct human experiments.”
"Human beings are the only creatures in the world with advanced cognition, so experiments conducted on humans must be carefully studied and reviewed. But Gao Liqun couldn't wait that long. He had already stepped into the mysterious building with one foot. It was absolutely impossible for him to hang his other foot and wait for the door. He could not control other people's bodies, but no one could stop him from freely controlling his own body. So, he started without hesitation. .”
"Many people feel that this kind of behavior should not be severely punished. But in fact, few people are completely independent and free. We are as tightly and complexly connected as neural networks. The hole torn in ourselves is infected. It’s not just us.”
"So, when Gao Liqun opened his first door with difficulty, taking the second step would not be as painful as the first step. His family became his second test subject, and then this range It expanded without resistance and extended to those unrelated people around him, everything seemed so logical." Liu Mengwei's voice did not rise and fall, as flat as boiled water.
"How did you find out?" Wen Qiao asked.
"There is a special document in his computer. It has no title or any description. It is filled with English letters and numbers. Most people will not think it is anything important when they see this document unless they know clearly that he is there. Record something, otherwise it can easily be mistaken as a junk file or garbled code. But it is precisely because of this that this document was ignored during the work handover and was preserved. Although I cannot completely decipher its meaning, there is one point in it. It’s an obvious reminder.”
"Number of rows? There are 12 rows in the table corresponding to 12 people in the office?" Wen Qiao expressed his guess.
Liu Mengwei's eyes lit up and he nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that you know more about forensic medicine than I thought. Gao Liqun used the first letter of one of the names of these 12 people to represent each of them, recording them separately. He collected everyone’s experimental data. Because these people work and live under his nose every day, it is easy to contact them and observe them. They are simply the chosen experimental subjects.”
"You can see that these data are long and short. Many of the data were recorded after a certain date. This shows that the experiment may no longer be able to continue on this person, or it has failed. There is only one experiment called Q. The data was recorded until October 30, two weeks ago, which was two days before the murder occurred."
Liu Mengwei's meaning is already obvious, this Q refers to Zhao Xiaoqing.
"But the fact is that Zhao Xiaoqing killed Gao Liqun with a knife. Is it because she knew that she had become someone else's experiment and was unwilling to kill him in revenge?" Wen Qiao asked.
Liu Mengwei blinked: "Now that you have read that document, do you still remember what the last record of Q's experimental data says?"
Wen Qiao recalled for a while and said: "1337, 1213."
"This is the password to start this murder." Liu Mengwei said.
password? Wen Qiao was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and thought about what she meant by "password". "1337? 13:37? It implies that the murder occurred at 13:37? What does 1213 mean?"
"Not only does it refer to the specific moment, 1337 also implies the date." Liu Mengwei reminded.
"Date? The date of the murder was November 1st...1×3×37=111. According to this algorithm, 1213 should refer to 1×2×13=26...the number of times Zhao Xiaoqing stabbed Gao Liqun. ?”
"The forensic doctor is indeed a smart person, and he can understand everything at once."
"What about the knife that cut the throat? Is it the '1' in 1213?"
"Maybe. You know, even a written computer program may not run exactly as people want it to. Not to mention a sophisticated machine like the human brain."
Even though Wen Qiao had listened to her talk so much and had gradually accepted this unbelievable thing, he was still silent for a long time after she finished what she said. "How... is this possible? Gao Liqun encoded Zhao Xiaoqing's brain and asked him to kill himself? Why did he do this?"
Liu Mengwei laughed: "There is a project in software testing called stress testing. The purpose is to see how the program performs in a high-pressure environment. It also helps us understand where the ceiling of a program is. What Gao Liqun did is also Something along those lines.”
"We all say that there is no big deal in a person's life except life and death. If a person can put life and death aside, then he can theoretically be fearless. Everyone thinks that it takes great courage for a person to end his own life with his own hands. But if you look at statistics only, it is actually easier to hurt yourself than to hurt others. Even in the Americas, where homicides occur most frequently, the number of homicide deaths is far less than the number of suicide deaths. And in homicide In East Asia, which has the lowest crime rate, the difference in death tolls between homicides and suicides can be as much as 10 times."
"Perhaps because of this, Gao Liqun chose to let Zhao Xiaoqing perform a more difficult task - to carry out a bloody, violent and unforgivable murder. He wanted to test her limits and eliminate the control of moral ethics, conscience and virtue. , those nerves that make people human, let’s see what she can do.”
Liu Mengwei calmly described Gao Liqun's crazy ideas, a lunatic who could experiment with his own life, a pervert who unscrupulously deprived others of their spirit, manipulated the hands of others, and slit his own throat.
If the experiment fails, I will live, if the experiment succeeds, I will die. If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
On the beach, two figures, one large and one small, were having fun. After all, the silent and wise little boy was only 11 years old. Inspired by his sister, he took off his shoes and socks, stepped on the sea water, dug in the sand, and showed off the beautiful shells he found to his sister. The girl also shouted something to the boy excitedly. , like two carefree and happy birds.
Liu Mengwei stared at the two of them blankly, a little lost in thought. "But even if he is such a person, I don't believe that he would take action against his own children."
Wen Qiao suddenly had a bad premonition. He followed her eyes and looked over. The laughter of the two children suddenly sounded a little inexplicable and made his heart palpitate - a storm was coming.
Two little guys were squatting next to a rock, seeming to be observing something in the water, and discussing animatedly. But suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly, and the girl stretched out her arm with lightning speed, and actually gave the boy in front of her a hard push. The boy's center of gravity was unstable and there was nothing around him to rely on, so he could only fall backwards.
Wen and Liu had been looking in their direction. When they saw this scene, they were shocked and rushed over to check. Surrounded by rocks that have been roughened by the sea water, the boy's exposed skin has been stained with blood. What's even more frightening is that his head seems to have hit a hard stone, and traces of blood can be seen faintly. When it fell into the water, it turned into a light pink color.
Wen Qiao reacted very quickly, carefully checking his wounds and his physical condition. After confirming that there were no other injuries, he gently picked up Gao Mu and shouted, "Go to the hospital quickly!" Liu Mengwei also came to his senses. , pulled Gao Caiqin, who was too frightened to move, into the car and drove to the nearest hospital.
It wasn't until Gao Mu was pushed into the examination room that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that both Liu Mengwei and Gao Caiqin were in a daze, Wen Qiao comforted them: "It's probably just a skin injury."
"Do you know what's going on?" Wen Qiao pulled Liu Mengwei aside and asked quietly.
She turned her head and looked at the girl who was still curled up in the seat and weeping silently, and suddenly a flood of sadness came out of her heart: "What happened just now may also be a program written in the code book, the last one left by Gao Liqun." Program. Ling Ling and I went to his home and found that he also had a notebook for recording experimental data for his family. He was a control freak and wanted them to run according to the program he set, and not to overstep or exceed the rules. You Rightness is defined by him, wrongness is defined by him, life and death are also defined by him.”
Wen Qiao lowered his head, and Liu Mengwei's hand grasped his sleeve tightly without realizing it. She looked dazed and about to cry, as if she was complaining about her own experience.
