Chapter 11: The Beginning of Man
"Brother Wu." Xing Yuan was the first to break the silence.
"I know what you want to ask," Wu Mourning started the car, "this move completely disrupted Wu Ling's plan, now it's time for him to strike again, and this time, it is us who is buried deep in the darkness." ”
"Why are the beggars placed in this warehouse?" Xing Yuan continued to ask.
"The warehouse is not far from the hospital."
"You're going to steal a corpse from the hospital and give it to a beggar?"
"If you want to fish, you have to have bait, but this bait is not very peaceful, in order to stabilize the beggar, do you have any good way other than to provide him with a corpse before solving the case?"
Xing Yuan returned to silence.
"Tell me about your colleague Gao Yu, what's going on?" Wu Mian changed the topic and asked Xiang Xing Yuan.
"Xiao Gao, it's not normal, last night, the way he spoke and the tone of his voice didn't look like the Xiao Gao I knew before, I suspect ......" Xing Yuan fell into thought.
"Do you suspect that he is Wu Ling?" Wu Mourning was as straightforward as ever.
"Absolutely impossible, I have investigated, Xiao Gao has been on a business trip for a few months after the victim's death in winter, and Xiao Gao did not return to the city until a few days before Uncle Cai reported the case, and he has a full alibi." Xing Yuan defended Gao Yu.
"And what do you suspect of him?" Wu Mourning asked.
"I'm wondering, Xiao Gao has already come into contact with Wu Ling, and has been influenced or even controlled by Wu Ling's mind and lost himself." Xing Yuan said what he thought.
"Boy, that's hard to judge, unless you can get someone out." Before the red light, Wu Mian stopped the car and looked at Xing Yuan.
"Brother Han?"
"That's right, Lao Han's ability is very reliable, just feel this Gao Yu up close. However, in order to drag Wang Liansheng, Lao Han touched the police car, and now he has been arrested for obstructing official business. ”
"This matter is not easy to handle......" Xing Yuan looked embarrassed.
"I didn't ask you if this matter is good to do, I just said that this matter will be handled by you, without Lao Han, the case of solving the evil spirit is simply a fool's dream." Wu Mourning's tone suddenly had a bit more majesty.
"Okay, Brother Wu, I understand, I will do everything possible to get Brother Han out." Xing Yuan swore and said, "But hypothetically, I'm talking about hypothetical, Xiao Gao is really related to Wu Ling, what will you do?" ”
"I went separate from you last night, do you know what I'm going to do?" Wu Mian continued to drive forward.
Xing Yuanyao nodded.
"Boy, I'll ask you something first, and see what you think about it." Wu Mourning was silent for a while and continued, "What do you think is a person's soul? ”
Xing Yuan thought for a while and said: "It is the personality, the survival concept composed of the person's worldview and values, and the deep-rooted thoughts that determine a person's personality and even behavioral choices. ”
Wu Mourning: "Yes, then you say, how is personality formed?" ”
Xing Yuan: "I think it is shaped by all the experiences of a person growing up, and these experiences are deeply hidden in the memory of the mind, solidified into a person's perception of the whole world. ”
Wu Mourning: "Then what if a person's cognition is biased, or the soul is polluted?" ”
Xing Yuan: "Generally speaking, it should be educated with morality, but if this person touches the bottom line of morality, then he has to use legal sanctions." ”
Wu Mourning: "The law itself is also a science, but the science itself is constantly evolving, and this also shows that the law is also constantly evolving, but all this we are facing has gone beyond the boundaries of the current science, just like people who eat beggar's buns, the buns transform people's inner dissatisfaction into terrible evil thoughts, and evil thoughts gradually take root in the bottom of their hearts and transform into actual behaviors, although malice comes from personal thoughts, as individuals can no longer control their own thoughts, and the victims are mentally disordered. But medically speaking, this condition does not fall under the category of mental illness, so what should the law do? ”
Xing Yuan: "That's why you say that killing is not killing, so you are called a spirit slayer, right?" Xing Yuan's word "chop" in this sentence is particularly important.
Wu Mourning: "Boy, don't say I'm like a cold-blooded killer, chopping is not the same as killing, killing is sometimes just a forced choice, any way to get rid of evil thoughts can be called beheading." ”
Xing Yuan's face was full of surprise: "The implication is that there is a way not to kill?" ”
Wu Mourning: "As you said just now, personality is shaped by all the experiences of a person in the environment in which he grew up, and these experiences are deeply hidden in the memory of the mind, solidified into a person's perception of the whole world, and you are very right about this memory. ”
Xing Yuan: "So the way not to kill people is to erase their memories?" ”
Wu Mourning: "At the beginning of people, nature is good. So what is the beginning of man? ”
Xing Yuan took a deep breath: "I understand. But how do you erase the victim's memory? ”
Wu Mourning: "There is a mysterious collaborator outside our team, we have never met, we have always been in telephone contact, and no communication technology can obtain his location information, even if it is me, I only know that this person's name is Hou Ting, an old man, he asked us to call him Professor Hou, and I don't know anything else." Professor Hou will provide us with all the necessary materials to solve the case, otherwise the work of killing souls is not a job to make money, and everyone will starve to death long ago. ”
Xing Yuan: "You have a computer master like Jiuyue, and you can't find out this Professor Hou?" ”
Wu Mian shook his head: "In these years, who hasn't had their own skills and secrets?" ”
Xing Yuan: "Then what did Professor Hou provide this time?" ”
Wu Mourning: "A chemical agent that erases a person's memory." ”
Xing Yuan: "This thing can actually be developed?" Has it been in clinical trials? ”
Wu Mourning: "I've tried, no problem, except for the loss of memory, there will be no abnormality." ”
Xing Yuan: "Oh, I finally know what you did last night......
With a sharp brake, the black SUV stopped at the entrance of the police station.
Wu Mourning: "Boy, two tasks. First, no matter what method is used, get Han Shan out; Second, the current condition and location of all the victims who had eaten the buns made by beggars and had been quarantined were obtained from Wang Liansheng. ”
Xing Yuan: "Okay, then where are you going?" ”
Wu Mourning: "The Municipal Mental Illness Treatment Center, there are some known victims who have been quarantined, I'll go first... Save them, you take Lao Han to meet that colleague of yours Gao Yu for a while, believe me, I hope he is innocent more than you. ”
Xing Yuan nodded slightly, and wanted to say something, but stopped again. After saying goodbye to Wu Mourning, Xing Yuanjing walked into the police station, and the black SUV quickly started and left.
Wang Liansheng's office.
Xing Yuan had just knocked on the door and entered the house, and before he could open his mouth, Wang Liansheng spoke first: "So, this is your answer?" ”
Xing Yuan didn't react for a while, and responded in a daze: "What... What's the answer? ”
Wang Liansheng continued with a blushing face: "I asked you to bring Wu Mourning over, but you helped him complete the plan, so joining the Spirit Slayer team is your answer, right?" ”
Xing Yuan lowered his head and replied, "No, Wang...... Team Wang...... I...... Not yet...... Decide...... Decided to ......"
Wang Liansheng stood up suddenly, approached Xing Yuan, and looked straight into his eyes, exactly the same as the last time he had a conversation in Team Wang's office.
Wang Liansheng: "Where is the beggar?" The tone was very cold.
Xing Yuan: "Team Wang, you really can't arrest him now." ”
Wang Liansheng: "Okay, then you can tell me, when can you catch it?" ”
Xing Yuan: "I...... I can't be sure, but the beggar is now our bait, and if we catch Wu Ling, I will definitely capture this demon with my own hands. ”
Wang Liansheng sneered: "You guys? Your bait? ”
Xing Yuan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and was a little overwhelmed: "Team Wang, I ......"
Wang Liansheng's face suddenly relaxed, put one hand around Xing Yuan's shoulder, and walked to the windowsill.
"Xiaoyuan, I need you to join the Spirit Slayer." Wang Liansheng stared out the window into the distance, as if caught in some kind of memory.
"Team Wang, are you suddenly ......?" Xing Yuan's face was full of doubts.
"Listen to me after I finish speaking, there is a reason why I need you to join Wu Mourning's team." Wang Liansheng turned to look at Xing Yuan, "First, this world does need a force to hide in the dark, but punishing evil does not mean that you can deprive your life at will, so second, you have to pay close attention to Wu Mourning's every move, under extraordinary circumstances, it is inevitable to take necessary measures, but more often you have to stop him from doing anything out of the ordinary." ”
Xing Yuan nodded slightly: "Team Wang, I understand." Is there anything else? ”
Wang Liansheng lowered the arm on Xing Yuan's shoulder and stared into the distance again: "There is one more thing, I need you to help me find out the cause of a person's death." ”
Xing Yuan: "Who?" ”
Wang Liansheng: "Wu Mourning's former criminal investigation assistant, his name is Wang Anmin. ”
Xing Yuan: "I heard Wu Mourning mention this person, Wang Team, is there any special purpose for investigating the cause of this person's death?" ”
Wang Liansheng was silent for a long time, sighed and said: "He is an outstanding people's policeman like you, with outstanding ability, bravery, full of justice, and principle, and at the same time, he is also my own brother." ”
Hearing this, Xing Yuan's heart was extremely shocked, it turned out that the relationship between the Wang team and the spirit slayer was tied here, and he never expected that his appointment in the spirit slayer team was actually the younger brother of the captain Wang Liansheng, and he finally died.
Wang Liansheng sighed again: "Xiaoyuan, in fact, Wu Mourning asked me for someone at the beginning, and I directly recommended Ni, he secretly observed you for a long time, and I also observed you for a long time, but the longer I observed, the more Wu Mourning appreciated you, and the more reluctant I was to you, you are very similar to my younger brother Anmin, and even look a little similar, hehe, it may be a psychological effect." ”
"But the task of following the spirit slayer is really extremely difficult, even extremely risky, everything you face cannot be understood with conventional thinking, outlaws still have human nature, but you can't predict their behavior with such a thing, and the slightest carelessness will hang by a thread."
Xing Yuan: "Team Wang, I'm not afraid of danger, I just want justice ......"
Wang Liansheng interrupted Xing Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, I know you as well as I know my own brother An Min." To tell the truth, during the time you and I have known each other, I have simply regarded you as my own brother, and I really don't want you to take the same risk as An Min at the beginning, but I am very conflicted and painful, without you, An Min's cause of death will always become a mystery, and the real murderer may go unpunished. ”
Xing Yuan: "Team Wang, how did Wu Mourning explain your brother's death?" ”
Wang Liansheng: "He said that An Min was pushed down from a tall building by the spirit, but it doesn't matter how Wu Mian explains it to me, my intuition tells me that this is not the truth." ”
Xing Yuan: "Okay, Team Wang, I swear to you that I will definitely find out the truth about your brother's death." ”
Wang Liansheng: "I believe you, Xiaoyuan, go and show your position and determination to Wu Mourning, I will listen to your command in this case, I can arrest the beggar, but you have to promise one thing, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, no innocent person can die." ”
Xing Yuan nodded vigorously, and asked Team Wang for the list and status of all the crazy victims in this case, and Wang Liansheng gave it to Xing Yuan without hesitation.
Xing Yuan: "Team Wang, it's still ...... One more thing......"
Wang Liansheng: "You kid, a dignified seven-foot man, you can say what you want generously, how can your mother-in-law and mother look like a man." But you don't have to say it, I know what you want, Han Shan I have already let go, and going back will be your first merit to join the spirit slayer team, but Han Shan feels very strange, his body is obviously clean, but it always seems to exude the smell of blood, you have to pay more attention to him in the future. ”
Xing Yuan: "I know, I promise that I won't let them hurt any innocent people." ”
Wang Liansheng nodded slightly: "I will reserve your police identity for you, it may be more convenient to have a professional title in the future, but don't easily use the latter's identity as a police officer to do things, protecting yourself is the most important thing, I lost An Min, I don't want to lose you again." ”
Xing Yuan: "Okay Wang team, then I'll go now, I won't let you down." ”
Wang Liansheng turned around and did not answer.
Xing Yuan was just about to leave Team Wang's office, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Wang Liansheng: "Team Wang, Xiao Gao, what are you in charge of recently?" ”
Wang Liansheng: "Oh, this matter, I asked Xiao Gao to investigate all the social relations of Wu Gensheng, the original owner of the bun shop, during his lifetime. ”
Xing Yuan: "Oh, is there any progress?" ”
Wang Liansheng: "The results of the investigation are very detailed, but they have little to do with the case. ”
Xing Yuan: "Team Wang, when was the last time Xiao Gao contacted you?" ”
Wang Liansheng: "Just now, he was in the bureau at this time, what's the matter, this case has something to do with Xiao Gao?" ”
Xing Yuan's heart was shocked, but he quickly calmed his mind: "It's nothing, Xiao Gao is the reporter of this case, maybe some details will be carefully scrutinized by him, then I'll go first, Team Wang." ”
Xing Yuan, who left the office, frowned, lowered his head and thought deeply, and couldn't help but get nervous again.
Just when Xing Yuan lost his mind, a familiar figure skimmed his sight, and before he had time to think about it, Xing Yuan chased after him.
"Brother Han?" Xing Yuan stopped Han Shan.
"Shh Han Shan made a shushing gesture, and then pulled Xing Yuan to leave the police station quickly.
"Brother Han, what's the situation?" The two, who had already gone far, began to communicate.
"Something is wrong with the police station, there is nothing wrong with your colleague Xiao Gao, but the police station has really been smart just now." Han Shan looked serious.
"Wu Ling at the police station?"
"Trouble is coming."
