Chapter Forty-Three: The Needle Counts

"Do you suspect Gou Zhongshan"?

"Of course? Our principle is to suspect everything, as long as you can get close to this case, you can't rule it out, he is so familiar with Manokov, the relationship is so iron, and the person is missing again, you say you don't suspect him, who can you suspect? Thinking of the report call that made me, I can even say for sure that this is what he did"! Maxim was categorical and certain.

"I still don't believe it, Gou Zhongshan is a person, I still know more or less, he is capable and righteous, if it wasn't for his wife who had an affair outside, I don't think he would have done this murder. Man, who can stand such an insult? To be honest, when I first heard about this, he still had some heroism in the hearts of most people in the company."

"That's you, right? It's your kind of thinking that sways the thoughts of the company's people, Liu Ying is not good, and that Fan Dachun is not a thing, but even if the two become lovers, she will not die of sin"?

"Why don't you die? The Water Margin you just mentioned, isn't Wu Song in it a hero who kills sluts"? Learon came again, and his tone was cold,

"Oh, that's two different things", Maxim looked at Leon Yilong, "Pan Jinlian killed Wu Dalang, he was the first to provoke the murder first, the corrupt officials covered it up, and the neighbors concealed it, he couldn't bear it, and there was no way out, and Gou Zhongshan's murder case was completely different, and people didn't kill him or persecute him, but they just brought him a green hat, but he was able to act secretly, catch the rape in bed, and kill two lives in a row, which shows that although he is stupid and loyal on the outside, he is actually quite scheming, and he can endure it for so many days, do you say he is an ordinary person"?

"What you said does make sense, but I really don't want it to be him, although he looted the Siberian company, but it was the arrears of his own company, with his relationship with the company for so long, he shouldn't have done this?" Chang Jianming still can't figure it out.

"Hey, there is nothing that should and shouldn't, Lao Chang, there is really nothing impossible in this world", Gu Xinfu, who had not spoken beside him, interjected, "You know, when I was a soldier, I worked in the propaganda department, and it stands to reason that the people who engage in propaganda are all white-faced scholars, at least cultural people, right?" Of course, I'm not saying that I'm highly educated."

"Haha, you don't have to be modest, at that time, you should definitely be regarded as highly educated", Liu Yilong smiled, "At least it can be said for sure that the most person who is engaged in propaganda work is a scholar and cultured person, and the 'working class' of the five major and three rough people will definitely not be able to do it."

"Makes sense, then I ask you, what is the concept of a scholar"?

"Polite, very weak, pale, powerless, can't pick up the shoulder, can't lift the hand, white-faced scholar"? Leon's whole set came out,

"Hahahaha", Liu Yilong's words made everyone laugh, "How can it be so evil?" What you're saying is so interesting",

"If I say that it is a person like a weak scholar that you just said, but he has done the most dirty, the dirtiest, and even the most inhumane people at the bottom of society can do it, but this propaganda officer who has been engaged in it for more than ten years has done it, and it is a case of corpse shredding that you can't even think about, do you believe it?"

"Resolutely disbelief", Leon tilted his neck and drank a large glass of wine, and then put the glass heavily on the table, indicating that this matter was categorically impossible.

"But there really happened to us there, at the beginning, no one would have thought that it would be him, how honest and cowardly he was, according to Lao Liu, he was a pure weak scholar, but he was such a person, and he really did an earth-shattering thing, let me tell you, I was affected by this incident before I transferred to a local place"?

"Ah", everyone can't help but be surprised, "You still have such a story on you"?

"Of course", looking at their suspicious expressions, Counselor Gu further affirmed, "Moreover, it is because of this case that a famous sentence came out, which is widely circulated in our place", Gu Xinfu picked up the cup and took a sip of water, apparently to moisten his throat, and said it once.

"What famous words? Let's talk about it", Leon was very curious, urging him,

"It's not people who transform the environment, but the environment that transforms people", seeing that everyone didn't understand, Gu Xinfu further explained, "This sentence is my old leader, after hearing about this matter, he imitated the philosophical tone, and felt it, but later it became a mantra that everyone in our area knows."

"What does that mean? Doesn't it say that people can transform mountains and rivers, and since even mountains and rivers can be transformed, how can they not change the environment?" Learon was puzzled.

"This is a philosophical category, talking about space, not absolute concreteness," Gu Xinfu explains, "that means that people can't change everything around them that affects them, but everything around them affects you!" To be more precise, as long as the surrounding environment changes, the ugliest side of people will be exposed. Haven't you heard of it, 'the night of the moon and the dark wind and the high murder night', that is to say, the environment, as soon as the time, node, atmosphere, and environment suitable for the crime are reached, the ugliness of human nature is fully exposed",

"It's a little interesting, I toast you", Maxim was impressed by Gu Xinfu's theory, "This is a little close to our criminal psychology, you continue", he raised his glass to express his appreciation,

"That propaganda officer, usually paints oil paintings, writes propaganda slogans, and sometimes in order to paint a work that he is satisfied with, he will even lock himself in the club's creation studio for more than ten days, and when it comes out, the masterpiece has been completed. Who doesn't praise him as a talented man and a painter who can endure hardships? In daily life, can you see that he harbors evil intentions? No one can tell! But it was such a weak scholar who was praised by everyone, but he quietly killed two people, and it is said that Ling Chi was executed, do you say that you can hate a person to this extent"?

"Who did he kill?"

"A man and a woman, one of whom is still his wife",

"It's over, it's another Ximen Qing play",

"Really, I can't figure it out, why are there so many love killings in this world? This person is really, why do you know that there will be no good results in taking chestnuts from the fire, but there are so many crazy men and women moths running in like a fire"?

"Isn't that what you said, the environment"? Leon's humorous ridicule,

"It's true, people are really going to change, just because this officer is obsessed with art, he snubbed his wife, and this wife is not willing to be lonely, doesn't there be those pickled things? By the time her husband realized it, she had already gone out of the wall, and it was too late to regret it. After learning from the pain, he did not examine himself, but remembered the hatred on the man and woman, thinking about how to take revenge carefully. He had a comrade-in-arms who worked in the infirmary, and the anesthetics and scalpels were readily available, so he calmly stole them back."

"Huh? It's going to kill the rhythm"?

"Alas, if he really makes people die with a knife, it's not bad, his method is too cruel and inhumane", Gu Xinfu's face was solemn, and he seemed to be very unbearable.....
