From the perspective of today's legal society, police investigation and handling of cases pay attention to evidence and focus on clues. If there is no evidence and no clues, the case is destined to stagnate. Of course, the above only applies to those who have just joined the job. A rookie police officer, at least this is not the case in front of an experienced police officer like John. As described above, the bus is so big and there are only so many passengers. In addition, the car was still running when the crime occurred, and various conditions combined Together, this first eliminates the possibility that the murderer comes from the outside world, thus confirming that the murderer must be in the bus. Since the murderer is in the car, then the most suspicious and convenient murder...
Is there any possibility other than this bald man sitting with the dead man?
As for how the other party killed the person without knowing it and then drained the body of all the blood...
Although this is indeed strange, he believes in science after all, and unconditionally trusts the autopsy results. He believes that it will not be long before the female doctor affiliated with the FBI can find out the cause of death, and then make the murder method public from a scientific perspective, and what he needs now is What he does is to test, using his deception techniques that have been tried and tested for many years, to test the guy in front of him who is most suspected of committing the crime. As long as the other person's reaction is slightly different, he will be able to draw conclusions by observing his words and deeds and determine whether the other person is the real culprit.
John thought so. The accusation of the culprit just now was nothing more than a psychological tactic, a method of elimination to evaluate the culprit through the other person's expression and reaction. However, what made John disappointed or even confused was...
"Mr. Police Officer, what do you mean by that? I didn't! I didn't kill anyone! I swear to God, I don't even know him!"
Sure enough, when the other party said that he was the murderer, the bald man who had been nodding his head just now was so frightened that his whole face turned pale instantly, his body suddenly became weak and almost collapsed, and his mouth suddenly burst into laughter. He let out a shrill howl like a string of pigs being slaughtered. His overall reaction was fear and grievance. He looked like an innocent person. From the beginning to the end, he did not reveal even a little bit of surprise and nervousness after the murderer was discovered.
(Huh?)
After observing the changes in the other party's expression, John, who had just thought that he would be able to deceive the result, became confused. After witnessing the bald man's unjust reaction that didn't seem fake, he was stunned for a moment.
Yes, the blackmail was over, but the result of the blackmail was completely opposite to John's earlier expectation. No matter how ferocious and observant he was, he never saw panic on the face of the bald man named George. Of course, Even though it was difficult to find any doubts in the other party's expression, John, who had already identified the other party, still refused to give up, so he bit the bullet and tried again: "It seems that you are still an experienced criminal, and your disguise is really good. It's a pity that you can hide it from others, but you can't." You can’t hide it from me, so I give you one final warning: if you don’t tell the truth, the consequences will be serious, very serious!”
Having said that, John made a gesture to touch the pistol, but...
Just when he was trying to continue the blackmail and even took out a gun as a threat, a voice suddenly came out from behind and interrupted all his actions:
"Wait, Officer John, I think you have wronged this gentleman. He is not the murderer."
……………
Subjective consciousness refers to a person's subconscious understanding based on his or her own experience and on-site observation. It is a judgment and affirmation brought by the thinking level. It is usually difficult to change, and it is indeed difficult for people with subjective consciousness to change their opinions under the influence of others. Unless you can come up with evidence, real and irrefutable evidence.
As I said before, as an experienced police investigator who has been handling cases for many years, John has always been confident. His confidence comes from his strength. What is strength? Strength is his glorious past. In the more than ten years since he was a police officer, he has solved countless cases, not to mention small cases, but there have been dozens of major murder cases, and some of them have used weird methods and even pretended to be clever. Cases, and the reason why he was able to solve so many cases, in addition to his belief in science, his extraordinary observation and keen personal intuition also accounted for a large proportion. Therefore, through investigation, he was convinced that the victim died on a high-speed bus. Finally, John instinctively locked on the suspect and regarded the middle-aged bald man sitting next to the deceased as a suspect and began interrogating him, but...
He only tried a few words, and before he could even threaten him, the FBI named He Fei inexplicably stopped him.
"Wait, Officer John, I think you have wronged this gentleman. He is not the murderer."
"Um?"
When John heard this, he turned around and saw He Fei standing behind him at some point, staring at him with serious eyes.
"Mr. He, why are you so sure that the murderer is not this person? Huh? Could it be that you have..." Sensing the difference in the other person's expression, John asked casually, but as he spoke, the man changed the topic as if he suddenly thought of something, He glanced at the corpse opposite.
Seeing that John's reaction speed was quite fast, He Fei didn't waste any words, nodded and greeted directly: "Please come over and take a look at the body."
Next, under the guidance of He Fei, John took the magnifying glass and looked at the corpse. Together with the curious Grace, he looked through the mirror and observed the face and body of the corpse, and then...
As the real scene unfolded, the next moment, John, who was calm and calm just now, changed his expression. His eyes widened and his pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief. As a woman, Grace was even more frightened. Her pretty face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah!"
Fear surged into his heart at this moment, and his nerves stimulated by the horrifying wounds that were actually revealed were so tight that he almost collapsed. Staring at the dense holes all over the body, the two police officers were dumbfounded. They were both shocked and shocked beyond measure.
"How could this happen? This kind of wound... is impossible, this is impossible, this, this is unscientific..."
Perhaps it was because the small and dense wounds on the corpse had subverted human cognition. After returning the magnifying glass, Grace's face turned pale and dull for a moment, while John squatted on the spot and muttered to himself, repeatedly mumbling the impossible. , obviously, the examination just now shocked John, and completely broke the scientific concept he had advocated in the past. It is not surprising that he had such a reaction, after all, the wounds of the deceased were extremely abnormal. It is true that humans are capable of repairing wounds with the help of certain tools as long as they have enough time. Such wounds occur, but the problem is that there is not enough time. You must know that it is just a temporary emergency case. The entire crime process only lasts ten minutes. It is conceivable that in just ten minutes, a person was killed through a technique similar to needle pricking and bloodletting. ,is it possible? Is it realistic? To put it bluntly, even if the murderer did have a crime tool smaller than a needle, he would definitely not have enough time!
This is true, but what about the young man named Jack?
Facing the naked autopsy evidence, John was at a loss. His more than ten years of experience in handling cases had been overturned for the first time, leaving only confusion and the unfathomable death process.
"Hey, Mr. Police Officer, and this Ms. Police Officer, what's wrong with you two?" As the saying goes, the unknown causes panic. Seeing that the two policemen who were calmly investigating the case earlier became stunned after viewing the corpse. They were originally worried about the car. The uneasy onlookers who were struck by the death could not help but become even more panicked. In the panic, some people trembled, some silently prayed to God, and some simply tried to ask questions. Unfortunately, no one responded to the passengers' doubts. It was not that there was no response, but John knew that this was the case. This kind of strange incident cannot be made public under any circumstances, otherwise it will definitely cause panic among the people. For this reason, the only way to keep it secret is to calm down the panic as much as possible and appease everyone until the murderer is found.
So, he suddenly came back to his senses and saw that most of the passengers around him were nervous. John quickly forced himself to calm down and stood up and explained: "Don't panic, everyone. Don't worry, we will definitely find the murderer, so before that, everyone should return to their seats."
As police investigators, whether it is John or Grace, their handling of sudden cases has always been up to standard. Sure enough, after driving the surrounding passengers back to their seats, John took out his mobile phone to make a call. It was obvious that due to what happened in the car, After a murder was committed, the man planned to contact the police station and then asked the police station to send police officers to the scene. The main purpose was to move the body. After all, the bus schedule could not be changed, and there were so many people in the car. No one wanted to be with a dead body. The bodies stay together, and the United States is a country that attaches great importance to traffic laws and human rights and freedoms. This means that the law stipulates that official vehicles are strictly prohibited from stopping or canceling trips for a long time. Even if a murder occurs in the car, the most police investigation can do is ask the driver to Stopping the car briefly to facilitate the transfer of the body by the police car. If the vehicle is forcibly canceled, it will definitely violate the law, and the entire police department may be sued in court.
Due to legal regulations, it is true that John personally wanted to cancel the trip and return to the original route, and even wanted to take all the passengers to the police station for questioning and investigation, but he could not do so. In desperation, the man had no choice but to contact the police station in accordance with the regulations and request The police station sent a car to remove the body as soon as possible. As for himself and Grace, since they were already tasked with escorting drug dealers, they would continue to go to Utah with the bus.
However……
Somehow, after the number was dialed and after waiting for a long time, there was only a busy signal on the phone. No matter how many times I tried or when I dialed other numbers, there was a busy signal on any call, and all attempts were fruitless!
"Hey, Mr. Police Officer, what are you doing? We have been waiting here for a long time. If we wait any longer, I will not be able to attend my daughter's wedding on time!"
"Yes, yes, I will attend a business summit tomorrow afternoon. The meeting is extremely important and I must be present. If the schedule is delayed, who will be responsible for the company's losses?"
"Also, please get this corpse away quickly. I don't want to endure the rotten smell of the corpse all the way!"
It is said that time heals all things, and this is true. If at the beginning when the incident occurred, most of the passengers around were panicked and confused, then as time passed and the tension gradually calmed down, some of the passengers gradually began to be dissatisfied and resentful. John became more and more indignant at the delay in calling the police car to take away the body. For a while, the car was full of complaints. Even the driver in the peaked hat looked down at the time on his watch and couldn't help but reminded him: "Mr. police officer, this bus belongs to The official passenger transport has strict regulations on the specific itinerary and round-trip time. If you continue to wait like this, I think it will be beyond your scope of authority."
At the same time, just as John and John were sweating and making phone calls amidst the urging and shouting of the passengers, the executors were not idle either. Taking advantage of the noise in the car again, He Fei and others returned to the back row and immediately gathered in the car. It is worth mentioning that, in order to prevent others from hearing the discussion clearly, under He Fei’s nod, Chen Xiaoyao moved and walked straight towards the black drug dealer Gabri, who was handcuffed at the back of the car and unable to move. Then he pinched the back of the black man's neck as fast as lightning. I don't know what method Taoist Chen used. With one pinch, the black man rolled his eyes and fell into unconsciousness.
"What! You, you said that man was killed by bloodletting with his hair? His body was covered with wounds that were denser and more delicate than needle pricks?" Sure enough, as soon as He Fei finished describing the autopsy results, others were fine, but Chen Xiaoyao suddenly He couldn't sit still. Not only was he shocked, but Peng Hu, who was crowded next to him, was also shocked and dumbfounded. Needless to say, the newcomers, except for Tang Meng, a doctor with a fairly good psychological quality, the remaining three people They were all timid and couldn't get a word in, so they had no choice but to stay outside and listen.
"Brother Peng, and Xiaoyao, don't panic. I admit that this wolf's killing method is rather special, but in the final analysis it is still killing. The essence is still killing for the sake of killing, so in my opinion, the killing method of this wolf is not the point. , the point is we can’t predict it!”
There is no doubt that as the soul core of the entire team, He Fei directly pointed out the essence of the situation when everyone was in a panic, and the so-called essence was exactly the unpredictability mentioned at the end!
As for the specific meaning of being unable to predict, there is no need to explain it. I believe everyone who has experienced the strange lethargy in the past knows it well.
When he mentioned the strange lethargy, He Fei stopped talking, and everyone stopped talking. Even Chen Xiaoyao, who always talked nonsense, fell silent for a moment. To be honest, it wasn't because everyone didn't want to talk anymore, but because of the sudden sleepiness earlier. Weird, weird enough to make people close their eyes and fall into a dream without knowing it. Once everyone falls asleep, the worm will take this opportunity to appear and kill, bleeding out the predetermined prey, leaving only one body in the end. A pale corpse that had lost all its blood.
The overall feeling of this method of killing is similar to Peng Hu's earlier guess. At least the process is the same. Before taking action, Qi will first block the perception of the passengers in the carriage, and then show up to kill the prey. The process is correct, but only The shielding method went awry. The specific method was not the hallucination as expected earlier, but hypnosis! Some kind of mental attack that humans can neither resist nor detect, even He Fei can't detect!
What does it mean to be undetectable?
Very simply, it means that there is no way to resist, and it means that others cannot provide rescue help to the attacked person. In other words, as long as the enemy wants to kill, the opponent can hypnotize everyone at any time, and then show up to attack and kill everyone when everyone is asleep. Select a target and repeat this cycle until all the passengers in the vehicle are slaughtered and completely eliminated!
Faced with such an unpreventable hypnotic attack, no matter how smart you are and how alert you are, once sleep strikes, you will always end up falling into an uncontrollable lethargy.
The above is He Fei's explanation of the facts after combining the inexplicable lethargy and the autopsy results. After all, everyone's faces turned pale, whether they were newcomers or seniors, as if they were scared. It doesn't matter whether you are a newcomer or a senior. Or, it has nothing to do with whether you are brave or timid, but it is human nature to fear death. Facing the invulnerable attack methods of locusts, unless you have several lives, you will always be subconsciously afraid, and even think on your own. What should I do when the worm targets me?
Escape? Run away before he targets himself?
How to escape? Where to escape? The task has already stipulated that the executor must rush to Utah by bus, and during this period, it is strictly forbidden to take detours or change modes of transportation. How can you escape under such a flawless rule? You can survive for a while if you stay on the bus, but if you change buses or change routes midway, you will turn into water like a popsicle that has been exposed to the sun. That would be a real dead body. ah.
Returning to the topic, He Fei saw that everyone around him was pale and sweating on their foreheads. He Fei was stunned for a moment, and then his thoughts suddenly came to him. In other words, it was only then that he realized that he had accidentally frightened everyone by speaking too harshly. In fact, that's right. You must know that he is the team captain and the core figure of the entire team. It is conceivable that even he, the captain, swears that he has no solution. How will other people feel?
It’s not too late to make up for it. Seeing that most of the people were afraid, after a pause, the college student quickly changed the subject and added in a deep voice: “Of course, it seems that there is no solution to hypnosis, but the actual situation may not be as bad as we imagined. At least there is one thing that everyone knows We all know that the curse will never issue missions that will lead to death and no solution. There must be a way to break through the situation, but we haven't found it yet."
Not to mention, after He Fei's words of relief, most people's faces improved slightly. However, as if someone always jumped out and poured cold water on him at a critical moment, just as He Fei finished speaking, even Chen Shuihong, who was the most frightened at the scene, The moment the shaking stopped, people on the right side of the crowd scratched their heads, and Li Tianheng curiously opened his mouth and mentioned the old story again: "Yes, it is true that the curse never releases unsolvable tasks, but the sleepiness that comes quietly is still unpreventable, right? "
(Grass!)
What do you mean which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted? This is called a pot that cannot be opened and lifted. After Li Tianheng mentioned it so casually, He Fei immediately sighed secretly and cursed Li Tianheng in his heart for not choosing the right time. Unfortunately, it was too late to stop him now. As far as he could see, he saw just now Chen Shuihong, who stopped shaking, instantly returned to fear. His fat face kept twitching, and his whole body was as frightening as if he were in a world of ice and snow. The newcomer was even worse. Jiang Liqing didn't need to mention it. Tears flowed down, and even her body was covered with tears. The men, Lu Chengbing and Yang Zhibin, both had faint signs of tears, but the senior men were not mostly affected. Anyway, they have seen all kinds of lice along the way, and have also encountered all desperate crises. As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about too much debt, but there is no need to worry about too many lice. Itchy, with this free and easy mentality, the senior person is content with the situation, but there is a little more frustration and nervousness between his eyebrows.
Unfortunately, simply being nervous can't solve the problem. Just being afraid is no different from waiting to die. Peng Hu knows this, Chen Xiaoyao knows it, and Li Tianheng knows it as well. Because of this, after swallowing his saliva, Peng Hu knew this. Tiger started thinking again, just like when he watched the video preview, he thought about it with his smart head, and finally came up with an idea. No, it can't be said to be an idea. It's not so much an idea as it is a guess. An uncertain guess based on past experience.
"By the way, brother, since we already know that there is a hawk hidden in the car, and we also know that the thing can hypnotize us without knowing it, and hypnosis is impossible to prevent, in this case, is it possible that the hawk... "Having said this, the bald man stopped talking, and then turned around and looked back with eye movements that anyone could easily understand. He glanced secretly at the front row of the carriage and looked at all the passengers except the executor.
The look is obvious and the meaning is extremely obvious.
(Lot camouflage? Or carrier-type locust? Well, no matter which of the two guesses is correct, as long as the truth exists in one of the two situations, then this task will be much easier to handle. It is a bit difficult to eliminate the locust. Realistic, but at least some direct or indirect means can be used to lock the monster. Once the monster is locked, whether it is to find the weakness of the monster to counterattack or find other ways to prevent it, it will all be beneficial to the executor, but ...)
(Is it that simple? Will the curse leave us such a big flaw?)
At the same time, just as He Fei was bowing his head in deep thought and analyzing the pros and cons when prompted by Peng Hu's sudden speculation, across from him, Zhao Ping raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Zhao Ping turned his head slightly and looked at someone beside him. Look at the short-haired girl who has been silent for a long time.
After staring for a moment, the bespectacled man suddenly opened his mouth and asked Cheng Ying a question: "When there was chaos in the carriage before, you seemed to have done something else? Can you tell me what specifically you did?"
Yes, as a veteran whose observation is as meticulous as that of He Fei, although Zhao Ping and He Fei focused on examining the body at the beginning of the incident, the man's eyes hidden under the lenses did not pay full attention to the body, but occasionally glanced at it. After looking elsewhere, the man discovered something. During this period, he saw Cheng Ying and the girl taking advantage of the chaos in the carriage to leave her seat and then shuttle back and forth in the carriage.
Seeing the man with glasses asking her, Cheng Ying's instinct froze, and then she couldn't help but secretly praise this man's sharp eyes. It was not just Zhao Ping, but his presence could really make up for some of He Fei's shortcomings.
Of course, the secret praise in her heart is just the secret praise in her heart. In reality, Cheng Ying will never praise anyone in person, not to mention that she still has to do one thing, which is difficult to understand in her eyes but must be done. things, such as...
As soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, Cheng Ying took action and answered the other party with practical actions. She took out a black wooden box from behind in front of everyone.
The wooden box was not large in size, at most equivalent to the size of a child's shoe box. Next, Cheng Ying opened the wooden box without hesitation.
As the lid of the box opens, a box full of small dolls comes into view.
