258, the third person
"I immediately realized that I had lost my words, and hurriedly changed my words: I don't know anything, I just think what you said makes sense."
Fortunately, Smith did not pay much attention to it, and continued: the burning statue of the sun god heralded the beginning of reincarnation, and the disembowelment woman showed that the god had finished his punishment and that a new life would be born in this world at any time. And the one who vomited blood was the real sinner, and the children of the sun and moon would have played this role for those who had made mistakes in their own clan, and perhaps there should have been a corpse at the scene that had not been reported. ”
"I think the most important thing now is to find that sacrifice, this dark ritual is very evil, every time it is performed it will cost three people to die, and once the news spreads, people all over the world who consider themselves children of the sun and moon will follow their example, I don't know how many people will die unjustly in this terrible ritual."
"To be honest, I don't have the slightest sympathy for the death of such people, it's purely self-inflicted, but I don't quite understand Smith's motive for letting me come here, so I asked, "Professor, I thank you for giving me a chance to learn about ancient civilizations. But I don't understand that this matter has anything to do with you and me? ”
Smith's expression suddenly became a little unfathomable, and he said: "Of course, if all this is indeed carried out according to the sacrificial rites of divine punishment, then it means that some of you here are using the cult belief to make profits and murder people, if my professional knowledge can play a decisive role in solving this case, it can save many lives." ”
"I said, Mr. Smith. You're here for academic exchange. Is it reasonable to give up these to do crime-solving work that has nothing to do with your profession? ”
"Smith said: That's why I found you, if I tell my assistant about this, he will definitely stop me, because these people will only make short-term profits, I don't think the same as them, I have a long-term perspective, if this case is solved because of my involvement, it will be a tsunami of popularity for my personal reputation, you don't underestimate these people who founded cults. Cult teachings will invade every inch of a person's body in the form of a virus, and they can easily control everything about a person, and if there are many people, then the leader of the cult will gain huge rights, and the harm is very great. ”
After that, in order to understand me, he continued: "Lin, believe me, you will not suffer a loss for cooperating with me, and the scientific research institution you work for will also get huge benefits because of this case, and the reason why I am looking for you has been clearly explained, so don't doubt my motives." What I need in this matter is a student who is absolutely obedient to me, not a partner in the field of interests, you know what I mean? ”
"I see what he means, but should I take it? Smith seemed to see my concern, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Men should be adventurous, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, and you should take it." ”
"I was also moved by what he said, so I agreed to report the case and explain the situation first, so that the people of the Public Security Bureau could understand the situation for him, but soon the reality gave me a blow to the head, and the middle-aged police officer in his forties who received me didn't even have any questions after hearing it, and got up and walked out of the conference room with a tiger face, I was confused by him, but before leaving the office, he still turned back to me and said: The murderer and the victim of this case are dead, and the case will be closed, so don't look for trouble."
"I didn't expect that they were all ready to close the case, and the good thing that Smith thought was directly strangled in infancy, and I couldn't get out of the public security bureau to listen to the people behind me: Please stay, I think the clues you provided are very interesting."
I saw a young policeman in his twenties rushing over from behind, he introduced himself as Wang Zijie, and then he said: I don't think it is possible for this case to end so easily, but you must also be considerate of the opinions of the comrades in the bureau, after all, on the surface, this case seems to be indeed over."
I asked rhetorically, "Then you believe me?"
"I don't believe that this is an ordinary case, the murderer has no motive for committing the crime, let alone a reason to commit suicide, but most people feel that the main problem is not on this, but because the murderer has committed suicide, and from the perspective of handling the case, since the murderer is dead, the case is over."
"If that's the case, then it's over, if it's not over."
Wang Zijie immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't misunderstand what I mean, I believe there is a lot of information about the case itself, I think the murder scene is just a layer of appearance, and it may cover up a big phenomenon in itself, so I want to investigate this case, I hope you can help me." ”
"How can I help you? Just as I was about to say Smith, Wang Zijie beckoned to me: "Please take a few more steps, of course you have a way to help me and seek justice for the victim." ”
"I didn't expect Wang Zijie to take me to the director's office, and the director asked him what was the matter? Wang Zijie said: There is a new development in the temple homicide case, and I have found someone in the know. ”
"This case is about to be closed, which one are you singing?"
"Director, we don't solve the case just to catch the murderer, or it should be said that we shouldn't catch a murderer and close the whole case."
"Don't talk about this, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson in terms of actual combat experience, there is more than one witness to the entire scene of the murder, everyone said that the woman killed the man and then committed suicide, so what else can this case be because it can't be closed?"
"As far as I know, this case is by no means as simple as it seems, it is a ritual, and the killer and the killed are just one part of it, and the ...... later"
The director interrupted mercilessly: "You kid is really not worrying, what kind of ceremony is involved?" Where did the ritual come from, I think it was a couple of men and women who committed suicide. "Shang Nong Pounce.
"I don't know if it's because the director's attitude stimulated me, and then I said loudly: This is by no means a mouthful, I have evidence."
After hearing this, the director sat up slightly and said, "What evidence?" ”
So I told everything I had accidentally seen as to why I had infiltrated the temple, and detailed the dark ritual of God's punishment, and then the director's expression became grim, and he thought for a long time and asked, "Is that black suit you are talking about?" ”
I asked the director if he knew the black suit, but he immediately got up and said, "Let's go to the museum now."
"I didn't take two steps and the director turned his head to me and said: Thank you for your support to us, I hope you can go to the museum this time, identify the suspect, the person in the black suit should be the director of the museum, and he is also a famous calligrapher and literary critic in our city, and he has a prominent position in R City, so we can't make the slightest mistake."
I don't know why he thinks that the black suit is Director Ding, but after thinking about it, I did feel a little familiar when I saw the black suit at that time, and nine times out of ten I had seen this Director Ding on TV or in the newspaper.
"R City Museum is located in the center of the city, not far from the pedestrian street, into the museum compound we asked where the curator is and went straight to the curator's office, to the back door is not closed, only to see the curator in a black suit sitting behind the desk is in a daze, I saw him in his heart "groan", absolutely not wrong The third person who appeared in the temple is him, he just nodded with a solemn expression when he saw us: "Lao Luo, you came in person?" ”
The director walked over to the chair across from the curator and sat down, saying, "It's been four or five years since we last met?"
"That's right, I remember that the last time was because of a bronze tripod, which was also sent by you personally."
"Yes, but I wasn't the director at the time."
"People are always moving forward, your ability is so outstanding, and today's social status is what you deserve."
"The nature of our work is different from yours, a case can make you from a mortal to a god, and a case can make you unable to turn over for a lifetime, Lao Ding, I envy you very much."
Director Ding smiled bitterly and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and we are not all smooth sailing, and you also know that I am in big trouble in this matter." ”
