The Methodist Institute, a very famous research institute twenty years ago, is said to have served some of its clients and even state agencies. However, standing here now, all I feel is a historical building that has fallen into decay, like a huge prison or an ancient castle, located at the end of the road in an uninhabited place.

Du Fair, "Thank you, Peggy!"

Du Ping just finished talking with Peggy, to be honest, there are two cute guys like Peggy and Spencer, and it is indeed much easier for Du Ping to find and analyze relevant information. It's the same this time, I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, and a research institute like Sweili turned out to be a place with a level of confidentiality. Still, for the hacker Page, none of this is a problem. Not to mention that this place is deserted now, and it has no intimidating effect on her.

Peggy, "This used to be a place where people were used to conduct simulation experiments, because Dr. Chuhi here always believed that certain geniuses could simulate and deduce the development of many things. It is said that he was once very successful and received many orders from the military, government, and business. But then it is said that something happened, and the institute was basically at a standstill. ”

"What do you mean by employing people for experiments?"

Peggy, "I have a copy here, and they caught a kid at the time. It should be said that a child was found in a psychiatric hospital, and at first the child was considered to be a mental illness of multiple personalities, but soon Dr. Churchy discovered that this child's illness was not the same as ordinary multiple personality disorders. It's just that his personality is always in a state of observer, and on the outside he likes to imitate another person. Imitate the person's speech, life, and even thinking. This person can be anyone. Therefore, Dr. Chush conducted research on this person, and soon discovered that his alternative value is to conduct simulations of different characters, as long as enough information is input about this person, he can deduce and simulate all possible changes in this person. Slowly, Dr. Churchy ceased to be interested in treating the child. Instead, try to strengthen this ability in different ways. And some institutions are charged for this. ”

Du Pingping, "Don't you care about him like this?"

Peggy, "The child was underage, and Dr. Churchy had the authorization of the child's mother, his guardian. Coupled with the huge benefits, many departments and agencies have turned a blind eye to this. ”

"What happened later?"

Peggy, "I don't know, I just know that the kid ran away." Dr. Churchy committed suicide shortly thereafter, and the institute closed its doors. ”

"Thank you! Your message has helped me a lot. ”

Peggy, "Really?"

Du fair, "Really. Your message is very important to me. ”

Peggy, "Great, my prince, your elves will be waiting for you at any time." ”

Standing next to Du Fair stood Lisa, Noah, Dixon, Mild, and Jackie. The trail of Dixon's line had been closed, and the corpse, though somewhat decomposed, was still recognizable as it was, plus fingerprints. Although Leon and Kenlin recognized it as the person they had been looking for, the man was dead. And it's been more than 2 years since I died. Not only does it not match the time of the incident in Hongfeng Town, but fingerprints and other clues show that he is not the murderer everyone has been looking for. So everyone came here again.

According to Du Pingping's analysis, the ultimate murderer of this series of cases should be here. The most likely story is that after the painter's case, he murdered the homeless Quark and lived in place of the homeless Quark's body for a period of wandering before the Red Maple Town committed the incident of destroying John's house. Du's analysis gave new hope to Dixon and Mild, who were already in a dead end.

Dixon and Mild are existences whose goal is to find the murderer in this life, so the line there is broken, and this is of course another line that they must follow. So they came.

Noah said that this was the task given to him by Old Wood, and it was impossible for him to give up halfway without completing it, so he also came. Although here he has lost his right to enforce the law. But he didn't care.

Lisa is Du's partner, partner, so it's normal to be here.

The newcomer to the team, Jes, said that she had already applied for annual leave, so it was her personal preference to be there. Besides, giving up halfway is not her work style, and of course, here, she has also lost her law enforcement power.

The team lost Kenlin, the homeless man, because the sheriff of a town in the south had picked him up, saying that there was something he wanted to explain. Because there was a case of the murder of a camping couple and their children in the Five Lakes Forest in Michigan, there is ample evidence that he may have done it. If this incident is further confirmed, he may need to live in a state prison for a long time.

The team has also lost the homeless Leon, who needs to take his share of responsibility for a robbery.

…………………………

This time the team regrouped, and there were some changes, mainly the personnel changed, from the previous group of 5 people to a group of 6 people with Jieji. Du Pingping once again got his own commander and became the de facto leader of everyone.

In front of the gate of the Methodist Institute, Lisa walked forward first and rang the doorbell here. There was no movement in silence. The reason is very simple, because among the six people in this line, only Lisa has the right to enforce the law here. Because by the time they arrived, Lisa had already reported their work plan to Aaron, the director of the experiment, and had obtained the right to enforce the law. Of course, in this work report, there is no mention of anyone other than Lisa and Du Pingping.

Jesus, "Is there really anyone here?"

Jieji, who had always been grumpy, immediately began to get impatient, came to the door, and kept pushing the door, trying to try a way to open the door. Mild and Dixon, who were supposed to be anxious and irritable, had calm expressions and did not react.

Du Pingping was not in a hurry, but as if he had an induction, he looked up at a hidden monitor at the door.

Du Fair, "Lisa!"

Du Pingping pointed to the monitor and motioned for Lisa to show her detective card there. Lisa walked over and saw the monitor as well, so she took out the badge she had around her neck and stretched it out to the monitor lens. Then he gestured to his identity as a federal investigator inside.

Click.

The door, which looked like it had been unmaintained for many years, was slowly being opened from within. An old figure stepped out, wearing a white research robe that had turned gray on closer inspection.

Old man, "Who are you?"

Lisa, "FBI agent, I want to ask you something, is that okay?"

"There's no one left here. I'm just a security guard on duty. ”

Lisa, "Where's the person in charge here?"

The old man, "Dead! ”

Lisa, "I said it's its current owner. ”

"You're talking about the man's son, a rich man who doesn't like this place." So he always wanted to buy it, but he was always unwilling to take it at a price that he felt was right. So it's been delayed until now. Are you going to buy it?"

Lisa, "No, it's not. ”

"Well, then, I don't have anything more to say." This is the business card of that man's son, you can talk to him if you have anything. ”

A business card was handed to Lisa, and the old man meant that the door was about to close. Du Ping went into the past.

Du Pingping, "Old man, can we have a few words with you?"

Old man, "I don't know you. ”

"To be honest, we are all police officers. This is Lisa, an FBI agent, I'm Du Pingping, a senior consultant at the FBI's Crime Lab, and this is a police detective in Red Maple Town. ”

At Du Ping's suggestion, Noah and Jieji also took out their own police badges.

"This is Detective Jae, a police officer in Natad City. We're here following some clues to the case, and we're sure you know and even know the suspect we've been following. ”

Du Ping said, and used the tablet to put the photos in front of the old man, including the murder of the door in Hongfeng Town, the murder of the painter in Duoya City, the rotting corpse in the tree house, and many other cases.

"This is not one homicide case, nor is it two homicide cases, it is a continuous, serial homicide case, and there may be some cases that we do not know, but in the information we have now, the number of people killed has reached more than 10." And we can tell you for sure that this number is far from finished, and it may be rising. So we're here to ask you to help. Rather, it is a plea, a plea, a plea for your help. ”

As he spoke, he took Millra to his side and handed the old man a few pictures.

"This is the mother of one of the victims of the Hongfeng Township Murder Case, and her daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, and grandson all died in this case." After the case, her husband died because he couldn't accept this fact. And she has followed the clues of the case alone until now. ”

Du Pingping came to the old man and bowed deeply.

"Sir, we need your help. ”

Behind Du Pingping, with Mild taking the lead, everyone bowed to the old man.

Looking at the photos of the corpses, the old man sighed.

"Come in, old man." ”

…………………………

The dim light was lined with corridors with the same windowless doors, and the old man led the crowd slowly through them. A straight corridor was dark and cold, and the old man led everyone inside.

"I know who you're looking for. ”

"Can we know his name? Although we have been tracking him for so long, unfortunately we don't know who he is. ”

Old man," Garred Lucie, Garred Lucie. A very beautiful little Caucasian boy, at least as far as I can remember, he is. ”

"To be honest, we did some research before we came. It is known that this little boy has been used here to conduct some scientific experiments that simulate behavior, so as to deduce the possible behavior of the target person, as well as the development trend of some things. I don't want to judge whether this kind of thing is moral, but I want to know what happened then?"

The old man, "There was nothing to hide, for we were all stunned by the little boy's abilities at that time. After that, he fell into an infinite desire for great wealth, and at first he just wanted to earn a little money for research, but as things progressed, slowly earning money became the ultimate everything. We bought the mother, and everybody no longer saw the little boy as a person, but as a tool, a very profitable tool, even the mother. Until one time the FBI found them for a serial murder case. In fact, at that time, the child's state was already unstable, and he often distinguished between reality and virtuality. At that time, our companion, Lady Rowling, tried to persuade us to stop, because the institute had already made enough money at that time! None of us listened to Rowling's persuasion, and we all took the case without any hesitation and pushed the little boy into the experiment. ”

Du Pingping, "What's wrong? The case has not been solved?"

The old man, "No! We were able to predict what the serial killer was going to do, the police caught the criminal, we made money, and we got the friendship of some big guys." Some of them are so wonderful! We seem to be one step forward on the road to success. The only thing that worries us is that he is almost 18 years old. If his mother loses his custody, everything will be in vain. So we started planning, and the plan proved that he had a mental illness that needed long-term treatment. So that he will lose his freedom forever so that we can always possess him. ”

"It sounds cruel, but it seems normal. ”

Old man, "Haha...... Ha ha...... , yes, it's normal. That's how humans are greedy. It may also be that we have done too many bad things, and at this time the Emperor of Heaven began to punish us. ”

"What happened?"

Old man, "Rowling is behind our backs to let him go and let him get the freedom he deserves. But no one knows that he did not recover from a simulation. Maybe we never cared about him, we never cared about him, he was just a very, very money-making tool for us. So something happened. ”

"What's wrong?"

Old man, "He killed Rowling!"

Du Pingping, "How did you kill it?"

The old man, "just grabbed Rowling by the neck with one hand, like looking at a very funny doll, and watched her struggle to death." ”

Du Pingping, "You're just looking at it?"

"Of course not, when everyone ran over to try to save Rowling, we suddenly realized that we were no longer dealing with a cute, beautiful Caucasian boy. He's a beast, a terrible monster devoid of any humanity. He subdued us one by one, and then killed us one by one like a funny toy. ”

Du Ping, "You killed?"

The old man, "Yes, we! all, everyone present. ”

The old man tore open his robe, leaving his upper body exposed. There was a terrible scar under his left chest, the scar of a knife. It's in the place of his heart.

"Since then, I have known that my heart is on the right side. He stood in front of me with a smile, looked me in the eye, slowly pulled a knife through here, and slowly waited for me to die and fall. He was smiling all the time, as if it was a very happy and pleasant thing. ”

The old man closed his robe, his face calm.

"He's a demon, a terrible demon from hell! From then on, every night I dreamed of that terrible and beautiful face, with a sweet smile on my handsome face all the time. ”

"This is really a tragedy!"

The old man, "Yes, this is a tragedy! This is God's punishment for our greed." ”

"What happened after that?"

Old man, "I don't know. After I was discharged from the hospital, it was already 2 months later. By that time, Dr. Churchhi had already committed suicide by swallowing a gun. I was never able to go back to my family because every night I would wake up with nightmares that I had changed with him. I'm afraid, I'm very scared! I'm afraid that one day I'll become him and kill all the people I love around me before I know it. So I've locked myself here for the past 20 years. ”

"Although judging from your story, it is very similar to the person we are looking for. But we still hope that you have something here that was at that time. For example, fingerprints, hand prints, and so on. ”

The old man opened a room, came to a wall, and pointed to a row of bloody handprints that had turned black.

Old man, "There are a lot of such things, I don't know if they will be useful to you." ”

…………………………

The office of Aaron, director of the FBI Crime Lab.

Aaron was sitting at his desk, and another member of the lab, Padge, was standing at his desk.

Aaron, "4 thank-you letters saying they have helped uncover 4 killings of unknown people?"

Padge, "Yes. I was also surprised to receive these faxes in the morning. You must know that the savage, arrogant Southerner is not a guy who likes to give face, and Du Ping is not a white man. White supremacy is rife among the Yankees. ”

Aaron, "So their case is closed?"

Padge, "Sufficely, not yet. These four cases were only solved after getting clues during the investigation of this case. And that case, it is said to be more complicated, they have already reached the Loki area. It is said that there, they found some clues and are following the past. ”

Aaron, "In that case, the number of cases he solved has reached six. ”

Padge, "Yes, these four are old cases that have not been solved for years, plus the corpse mutilation case in Manhapur and the serial arson case at New York University. The agreement given by the headquarters to that kid for 12 vicious or large crimes will be counted soon. ”

Aaron, "A wonder boy." It's said that the case they're following now is a bit complicated?"

Padge, "Yes, it is said to be very complicated. In their words, it should be incredible. ”

Aaron, "Do you think I should expect him to solve it? or not?"
