Chapter 8: Springfield, It's More Than Just a Rifle
Early the next morning, Qiao Guoqiang and KIKO, who had breakfast, received a call from Chen Ying that the police station forbade them to investigate the case, otherwise they would be arrested.
"What should I do?" KIKO said: "We don't have the power to investigate cases now? ”
"I don't have the authority to investigate the case myself!" Qiao Guoqiang said indifferently, "I'm here to travel, and I'm not a detective." ”
"That's right!" KIKO clapped his hands, "We don't investigate the case, but we can travel." So where do you think we should go for 'sightseeing' first? ”
Qiao Guoqiang smiled playfully, "You say, how did the other party know about the Soul Talisman of the side door?" ”
"Didn't you say he was a Taoist?" KIKO replied.
"Hmm~" Qiao Guoqiang shook his head, "That kind of talisman is also a very out-of-the-way thing in Taoism, not many people in the mainland understand it, but there are actually people in the West who understand it." One has to wonder about the source. ”
KIKO POINTED HIS CHIN WITH HIS INDEX FINGER, THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT, AND SAID, "TAUGHT BY THE Taoist priests in new york?? ”
"If there was a Taoist priest in New York who understood this, the police would have gone to find it a long time ago." Qiao Guoqiang smiled and said, "Fu Zheng, is it so easy to use?" Is it really effective when you draw it yourself? ”
"Although I know a little bit about feng shui in architecture, I can give some advice, but I will never show people a yin house. Looking for the dragon point, I don't have that means. ”
"This kind of talisman, if you want to think of it, you need to cultivate!"
"What do you mean..."
"I suspect that that guy's Taoist talismans are the same as my feng shui, and he learned them halfway through the monk." Qiao Guoqiang said, "Maybe I read a book somewhere, and it happens to be in the book." Where is the richest book collection in the city? ”
KIKO said, "Of course, it's the New York Public Library..." After saying that, her eyes widened, "Go to the library!" ”
KIKO drove Qiao Guoqiang to the library, looking at the two stone lions at the door, Qiao Guoqiang said with some excitement, "It's the same love as in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". ”
KIKO smiled, "The Day After Tomorrow was filmed here!" ”
The two walked up the steps, Qiao Guoqiang quietly twisted the collar at his throat, and a pinhole camera began to record. "Specifically looking for books in Chinese, related to Taoism."
"Good!"
After looking for about 20 minutes, Qiao Guoqiang found the book - "Yin and Yang Wuji Theory". Changing into rubber gloves, Qiao Guoqiang opened the book, found the Zhenling talisman and said, "Sure enough, it's the same as what those novelists said." Then he flipped to the first one, which was a five-element diagram of internal organs. Then, he closed the book and quietly put it into the system space.
Looking at KIKO, who was still looking for a book, Qiao Guoqiang walked over and said, "Let's go!" ”
"Found it?" KIKO asked.
"Hmm!" Qiao Guoqiang nodded and said, "Go out and say." ”
Bryant Park, behind the library, is a place for residents to take a walk. Next to the lawn of the park, there were several cold drink stalls, where the two sat down and ordered two drinks.
Qiao Guoqiang turned the book to the page of the Zhenling Talisman and pointed to KIKO, "This is the talisman!" ”
"Sure enough!!" "It's exactly the same as the one on site," KIKO said. ”
"You say," Qiao Guoqiang asked, "Qin Feng, where are they now?" ”
KIKO took out his phone, clicked it a few times, and said with a smile, "He's watching the scene by the Hudson River!" ”
"Needless to say, Tang Ren and Song Yi are with him!" Qiao Guoqiang said with a smile.
HE LOOKED AT KIKO AND RAISED HIS EYEBROWS: "NOW, WE ONLY NEED TO CHECK THE LIST OF BORROWERS OF THIS BOOK, AND THEN COMPARE IT WITH THE PILGRIMS OF THE STOVE KING TEMPLE, AS LONG AS WE FIND THE NAMES OF PEOPLE WHO COINCIDE, WE CAN ADD A LINK TO THE CHAIN OF EVIDENCE." ”
"Leave it to me!" KIKO took out his laptop, placed it on the glass table and tapped it, and soon made a discovery.
KIKO said: "The list of 6 people and the pilgrims of the temple coincides"
Qiao Guoqiang said: "Those with medical education and professional backgrounds are screened. ”
"There are two!"
"Who?" Qiao Guoqiang drank his drink and asked without raising his head.
"One is a Chinese woman, Alan. Hero. Springfield, whose husband is the owner of a hospital and a part-time forensic doctor. And the other one is..."
"Who?"
KIKO raised his head and said with some disbelief, "It's Song Yi..."
"What the hell is going on?" KIKO asked, "Is it really the one Song Yi killed?" ”
Qiao Guoqiang bit the straw and said slowly, "If it was Song Yi who killed the people, then what was the motive for the killing?" ”
"Vendetta?" "Love killing?"
"Or maybe someone hired him to kill someone?"
Qiao Guoqiang asked three motives in a row, and in the end they were all vetoed by KIKO.
"Or?" Qiao Guoqiang frowned and asked, "He's a pervert?" ”
"It doesn't look like it..." KIKO said
"He's a black household, an illegal immigrant, to murder the grandson of the boss of the Chinese cousin, and he's impatient?" Qiao Guoqiang said, "Even if he is impatient, why would he kill that saleswoman?" ”
"That's right..." KIKO said, "What did he kill that saleswoman for?" ”
"Ask Qin Feng, what was Song Yi doing when they found Song Yi?"
"Good!"
Qin Feng, who was by the river, received a WeChat message from KIKO.
Tang Ren looked at the smile on Qin Feng's face, and asked right and wrong, "What is that female hacker looking for you?" ”
"He asked me, what was he doing when he found Song Yi?"
"What is he doing?" Tang Ren looked at Song Yi and said, "This is hitting the street, teaching students and teaching Chinese." ”
"He's teaching students!" KIKO said, "Teaching Chinese, restaurant language. In addition, Qin Feng said that Song Yi was not a murderer. ”
"Why?"
KIKO shrugged his shoulders and said, "On the night of the crime, Song Yi worked in a bar, and there are dozens of customers and colleagues to attest. ”
She looked at Qiao Guoqiang and reminded, "Then now there is only that doctor left." ”
"That's him!" Qiao Guoqiang said
"So sure?" KIKO asked.
"Suppose the murderer is Song Yi!" Qiao Guoqiang asked rhetorically: "How does he know the deceased's birthday?" Unless he has hacking skills like you..."
"But the doctor is different!" He smiled and said, "Seeing a doctor and having a physical examination, but you have to register your information..."
"Check the consumption list of Wu Zhiyuan and Michelle to see if they have been consumed in that doctor's hospital!"
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" KIKO immediately got to work vigorously, and in less than a minute, he sifted through the content: "That's right, they all went to that private hospital in Springfield." ”
"What did you say that hospital was called?" Qiao Guoqiang asked
"Springfield!" KIKO said.
"Haruta?" Qiao Guoqiang smiled, "This name reminds me of an arsenal and a rifle." ”
"It's a relatively common surname in the United States..." KIKO glanced at Qiao Guoqiang and said, "You boys really think differently from girls, and you actually think of guns." ”
Qiao Guoqiang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "The M1903 rifle, the Garand semi-automatic, and the M14 semi-automatic rifle are all produced by the Springfield Arsenal. This is common knowledge in the military fan circle! ”
"But..."
"But what?" KIKO asked
