Blood splattered on the wall with the same red-stained brains, and both policemen were blinded.

The gun-wielding policeman quickly turned to look at the surveillance mounted on the wall, and the footage was quickly archived, copied, and copied to a higher department.

The fact that a living man committed suicide despite being a murderer died with a police gun in the interrogation room of the police station before he was convicted by the court was enough for the media to swarm like sharks that smell blood.

What's more, according to the laws of country R, Matsushita Sota did not necessarily have to pay for his life, and even the probability of being sentenced to life is much greater than the death penalty.

But, he's dead now.

"We need a reasonable explanation! If you can shoot a citizen who is likely to be a murderer at will, then what's the difference between you and a murderer! ”

Despite the two-metre-wide distance between the two sides and a human wall of police brigades in between, the police chief felt the pressure from the hundreds of people.

Most of these people wore white cloths on their heads, and the word "righteousness" was written on them. Some people held up the portrait of Sota Matsushita in their hands, and the young man with his back to the factory had a shy smile on his face, just like the murderer he saw in the video.

"Please note that Sota Matsushita is not a 'possible murderer', he is the murderer in the supermarket murder case."

In order to ease the people's mood as soon as possible, the colleagues of the Propaganda Department were in a hurry to find only one wired microphone.

The long, black wires stretched all the way behind the police chief, passing through three two-meter-long power strips, which converted the electricity from Office 101 into sound waves that were clearly transmitted to every ear that needed to hear the explanation.

But not all of them can properly understand what they hear. This kind of person can generally be called by a unified noun - Gongjing.

"You mean to say that as long as I'm a murderer, you can shoot me right now?" Bar A jumped out and said.

"I've never said that." The police chief glared at him.

"I admit that in the case of Sota Matsushita's suicide, two colleagues from our bureau did commit negligence. The treatment of them will be announced on the official website of our bureau in the near future, and all procedures will be carried out in strict accordance with the Public Security Police Law. ”

"We promise that we will not discriminate because they are police officers. In the same way, we will not unjustly punish them because of outside pressure. ”

As soon as Gong Jing A opened his mouth, the police chief said one after another: "I know that many people, including you, are doubting the authenticity of Matsushita Sota's suicide case now. ”

"But at this very moment, a review team composed of government leaders, professional scholars, and civil society representatives is in the police building behind me to repeatedly check the surveillance of the crime scene that day."

"Believe in us, and in the impartiality of the representatives you elect. As soon as there is any new development in the case, we will inform the public who are concerned about this case through the media. ”

The police chief was right, even though they didn't have time to inform the media in advance of the mini-press conference, the four most famous broadcasters (NHK, TBS, Asahi, and Fuji) were already broadcasting live broadcasts.

Other independent media outlets were also present. In the jungle with long guns and short cannons, probably only the Capital TV is still at home to play cartoons.

The restless public opinion was appeased, and about three-quarters of the people were guided back on track by the police.

As for those who remained, they were not concerned with the question of "whether Sota Matsushita committed suicide or homicide", what they really wanted to fight was death itself.

For this part of the people, the police chief chose to ignore the treatment.

Sota Matsushita is dead, and whether the court will sentence him to death, a suspended death, or an indefinite sentence, his body is already cold.

On the 12th floor of the police headquarters, a group of people in different clothes and even very different physical contours sat in the same room and looked ahead.

A 49-inch 4K TV is showing surveillance footage of Sota Matsushita before his death that day.

After three gunshots, the screen returns to the initial screen.

The chief of police entered through the back door and sat back in his seat in a hurry.

There were three more people sitting in front of his row, and one of them had watched the video no less than ten times, and each time he felt ridiculous and inexplicable.

"What's the name of that game?" Zhang Qifang asked in fluent R.

"Lifeline VR, a virtual reality game developed by a company in your country." The police chief replied quickly.

"I didn't ask you who developed it."

Zhang Qifang quickly caught the intention of the police of Country R to invite him here, and sneered in his heart.

Little R devil, this is not good to see others!

"I've been exposed to this game when I'm in China, and the characters and scenes in it are really realistic, but to say that a virtual reality will affect the normal judgment of the human brain, Professor Kawai, don't you think it's an exaggeration?"

Zhang Qifang looked at the old man sitting next to him.

Kawai is a well-known professor of psychology at the Capital University of R country, and he has written a large number of books, some of which have been included in university textbooks as compulsory courses in this major, and he is also the object of his exchange and study this time.

But the current situation clearly confirms the saying, "Science has no borders, but scientists have borders".

The old man nodded in his presence, but his mouth said the exact opposite of his actions: "I don't think so. After seeing Officer A's face, the prisoner clearly showed a completely different attitude from before. ”

"Before that, it is not an exaggeration to describe his words and deeds as cautious, but in the process of seizing the gun and firing it later, he can be called bold."

After speaking, the old professor beckoned to a policeman next to him, and the other party quickly sent a remote control.

The surveillance video quickly fast-forwarded under his hands, then stopped at 53:07, and the footage began to play normally.

"How are you!" Matsushita Kanta, who was on surveillance, said with a shocked face.

"You know me?"

"It turns out that I haven't quit yet, it turns out that this is the case, I know it is like this, hahahaha......"

The picture pauses, and Sota Matsushita's expression freezes.

The old professor stepped forward and pointed to the LCD screen and drew a circle on Matsushita Sota's face and asked, "Did you hear what he said?" 'Quit'! He thought he was playing a game at this time, which is why he showed such an expression. ”

Zhang Qifang put away his polite smile, straightened his sitting posture and responded: "However, after the incident, your police have thoroughly checked this person's VR glasses, including me, no one has found any NPC models with similar looks to the policeman on the screen, what do you say about this?" ”
