People in the so-called "minimally conscious state" are strictly different from real vegetative people, they are not completely unconscious, and after medical testing, patients in this condition are even dreaming.

Alex is now thoroughly vegetative, unlike them. Alex's current vital signs such as heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure are all maintained for a long time through a series of drugs and advanced equipment.

In a word, wait until the day when Alex's brainstem structure is diseased, mutated, or damaged, that is, the day the doctor officially declares Alex brain dead.

"Then, will he suddenly wake up that day, run out, and come back to lie here in that unconscious state?" Julie really knew Wang Lei very well, and thoughtfully helped him ask the question that Wang Lei wanted to know the answer to the most.

The doctor was dumbfounded, the woman in front of him was tall, beautiful, and seemed to be extraordinarily intelligent, but the words she asked were like those of a 3-year-old child.

Shaking his head again, the doctor looked at Julie with pity, wanting to help her check: "What you said is a science fiction drama, which does not exist in real life." At least, Alex can only lie down like this, unless it is a miracle, a gift from God. ”

After examining Alex, the doctor went out directly, he knew that this was a joint case between the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI, and Alex wouldn't wake up anyway, so let them toss.

The nurse closed the door to the room, and the sound of the doctor's footsteps slowly faded away. In the ward, it was pure habit, and the three of them began to search.

Pulling open the wardrobe, Wang Lei was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Julie, Raymond, come here." ”

At the bottom of the wardrobe is a pair of leather shoes, the laces of the leather shoes are well tied, the problem is that this is a "butterfly rope coil" bow, exactly the same as the mail bomb packaging.

Picking up the leather shoes, Wang Lei looked at the soles, the soles were normal, there was not much mud on them, and they didn't look like they had been stained recently.

"This is the shoelace you tied Alex?" Wang Lei could only ask the nurse.

The answer is of course not, Alex was already unconscious when he was sent to the hospital in a car accident, and the nurse just pulled off his leather shoes directly, and did not have time to untie this seemingly complicated rope.

After the operation, Alex was sent to the ward, and the shoes followed into the closet, and half a year passed, and no one touched it.

After the nurse finished speaking, she went out to get the medicine bottle, and Wang Lei groaned: "Alex is the murderer." ”

At the same time, Raymond and Julie's eyes widened, Wang Lei's statement was too arbitrary and irresponsible, Alex had been lying here for half a year, and the doctor had proved that he had no chance to wake up at all, the email was sent a week ago, Wang Lei was joking or what's wrong?

The doubts in their hearts Wang Lei was clear, and he also had doubts in his heart that could not be solved, shrugged, and the fat man explained to the two: "I can be sure that Alex is the murderer, and he has the motive for committing the crime, and he has to tie his shoelaces into a butterfly rope coil, but it is conceivable that his method of tying this sailor knot is deeply ingrained in his brain, so the mail box will be tied like that." However, I don't know how he did it? ”

Time is the biggest problem, and if you can't untie this dead button, everything Wang Lei said will not be true.

Walking out of the hospital, Wang Lei called Coleman and asked him to ask Zoe and Stephen if Alex had liked sailor knots since he was a child.

The answer I got was unsatisfactory and not very straightforward. Alex loves the sea and served in the Navy for several years in his 20s.

"Perhaps, that butterfly rope coil is what Alex learned at that time." Julie has always been very supportive of Wang Lei, and this time is no exception.

Even if Julie kept telling herself in her heart that Wang Lei was ridiculously wrong this time, what came out of her mouth was the opposite position.

At Zuoyi's house, Wang Lei and they met with Coleman and Yang Qian. Faced with the inquiring eyes of several people, Coleman was very helpless, and Zoe thought that it was not safe outside and insisted on going back to his house.

In order to get Coleman to agree to accompany him, Zoe also called home in front of everyone and asked the male model at home to leave first.

"Looks like Zoe is very interested in Cowman." While Zoe went to make coffee, everyone joked about Coleman.

Raymond looked left and right, but Stephen was nowhere to be seen, and asked strangely, "Where did Stephen go?" ”

The playboy went back to his house and got his clothes. He hadn't changed his outfit for half a day, which was extremely unbearable for Stephen.

After a simple shower and a change of clothes, Stephen felt much more comfortable and in a better mood.

Pouring himself a glass of wine and picking up the phone on the table, Stephen was full of passion: "Baby, come to me, I miss you very much." Now I have 1 hour left, and then I'm going out. Okay, you and your friends come along, we're just going to have a threesome, quack quack, quack quack......"

Stephen didn't have to wait long, and in just ten minutes, with a roar and cacophony of rock music, a sports car pulled up on the side of the road, and two girls in hot pants and bandeau jumped out of the car, not afraid of the cold of late winter in Los Angeles.

Although the average temperature in Los Angeles is still quite warm now, and the four seasons are not significantly differentiated, after all, this is only March, and there is still some coolness outside, and it is really not time for a bikini.

One girl giggled and pushed the door open, and another girl casually picked up a mail bag placed by the door and followed in.

The girl who went in first shouted, "Stephen, where are you?" ”

An answer came from upstairs: "Baby, I'm waiting for you in bed, come up quickly, I'm already hungry and thirsty." ”

The girl holding the mail pushed her smiling friend: "Don't go up immediately, your boyfriend is in a hurry to eat you, I'll help him see what this is first." ”

Without pretentiousness, the girl looked back and smiled while jumping up the stairs: "You will come soon, we will eat Stephen together, at least he will not be able to get out of bed." ”

Stephen's door was wide open, he lay on the bed and looked eagerly at the door, the girl jumped on the bed as soon as she entered the door, the two hugged each other, Stephen couldn't wait to reach out to untie the girl's belt.

"Boom ......"

The two people on the bed were knocked to the ground and lay on the ground in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

Feeling the "buzzing" chirp in his ears, it took Stephen a long time to come to his senses, struggled to get up, and pulled the girl up again, and the two of them trembled to the staircase and looked down.

The extravagant decoration downstairs was gone, the floor was littered with debris, the doors were washed out onto the grass, and the glass of all the windows was shattered.

The girl's friends also disappeared.

No, what is on the stairs, the girl grabbed Stephen's arm and pointed to the position and shivered all over. Stephen plucked up the courage to look over, it was the palm of the girl's friend.

"Ah......" couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and Stephen and the girl were scared. Fart. Share. Sitting on the ground, he hurriedly stepped back towards Stephen's room, screaming in horror.

It was five minutes after Wang Lei and them came over, although everyone heard a faint muffled sound in the distance at Zoyi's house, but no one would care.

It was Raymond who received a call from the alarm center that everyone learned that there had been an explosion in Stephen's house. Zoe also screamed and fainted on the couch.

Leaving Coleman and Yang Qian to take care of and protect Zoyi, Wang Lei and the three came to Stephen's side, two patrolling police cars had been parked on the side of the street, and Stephen and the girl were sitting on the grass with a blanket.

Raymond asked the police who arrived at the scene about the situation, Julie comforted the girl, Stephen was indeed always in his spirit, no matter how Wang Lei asked, he always looked at the grass in front of him dumbfoundedly and stupidly.

Although the girl is timid, she is much more tolerant than Stephen. Slowly, the girl stabilized and began to stumble about what had happened a few minutes earlier.

Nothing new, like the other two bombings in the morning, the mail-fired explosions.

After the scene was cleaned up, Raymond handed Wang Lei a evidence bag, which contained half a rope coil and a butterfly rope coil.

Julie, who had been in contact with Coleman, had received information from the Division's Information Center that had never found a sailor's knot similar to a butterfly rope at any known bombing site in the United States.

Moreover, Coleman also contacted the F.B.I. branch in New York, where the postal officer who sent the mail was also investigated, and there was no evidence that anyone inside the postal service was involved in the case.

Further investigation by the New York branch did not even lead to the source of the mail. They reviewed the surveillance footage of the postal system over the past three months, and also checked all the cameras of the locations of mailboxes in the surveillance area on the streets of New York, and found no clues.

"If it was sent a week ago, why can't I find the person who delivered the mail?" Julie asked, puzzled.

Raymond guessed: "Wang Lei, do you think it could be that the FBI New York personnel were negligent, but I think that people inside the postal system are the most likely to commit crimes or assist in committing crimes?" Otherwise, how could you not find the sender, and you should leave a figure anyway. ”

frowned tightly, and the fat man was at a loss. There was something he wanted to say, but it had been opposed many times by Cowman and Raymond today, and he didn't want to say it now.

The fat man thinks that this case has nothing to do with New York, and it is right that it cannot be found, and it is really necessary to find the sender in New York, which is a new one. Fear. Fear. attacked, which is diametrically opposed to Wang Lei's own initial assertion.

If it is Alex, then, who is helping him to deliver, and how did this person avoid so many dense monitoring facilities on the street to successfully deliver, this doubt makes Wang Lei entangled in his heart.
