Chapter 159: Knowledge is Power
Beverly Hills, Wang Lei's small building, a group of people gathered in the living room to watch TV. Wang Shuier went to Chinatown a few days ago to buy a few domestic DVDs and came back, very old TV series, everyone watched it with relish.
Although it is said that it was bought back from Chinatown, the dubbing has long been changed to English. Julie was most interested, and exclaimed a few times from time to time: "What a powerful monkey, it will turn into a house." ”
Yang Qian raised her eyebrows disdainfully: "People are not monkeys, people are called immortals, Monkey King, and the meaning is the same level as your God." ”
Wang Shui'er took Julie's hand enthusiastically and explained: "This monkey is the protagonist of this TV series, there are 72 changes, he can change into any object he wants or other people, he can do anything in the sky and the sea, and he is much more powerful than your American superman." ”
Wang Lei stood up and looked at the two or three women speechlessly. Yang Qian and Wang Shui'er looked at him, what's the matter, no one provoked you.
Shaking his head, Wang Lei still couldn't help it: "I'll teach you a lesson, it's about you and Yang Qian, and it has nothing to do with Julie, Julie doesn't understand this." ”
Since Wang Lei's junior high school expo book, he found that many Chinese people have walked into a misunderstanding, including the elderly, children, and regardless of culture.
Journey to the West, the four classical masterpieces, however, most people don't understand the seventy-two changes of the monkey at all, and they will understand it literally, just like Wang Shuier just said, it can be transformed into 72 kinds of objects.
In fact, the monkey learns Taoism in Journey to the West, and according to the records of the Book of Changes, the monkey learns 72 changes that should be: Youtong, exorcism, Danshan, entering the water, doppelganger, continuation of the head, autopsy, shengguang, lying in the snow, making pills, medicine, Bigu, carrying, and vigorously ......
Julie didn't know why, just funny looking at Yang Qian and Wang Shui'er's dumbfounded appearance funny, Wang Lei's words were said in Chinese, these Taoist professional terms probably don't know if there is such a powerful translation.
After a few words, Wang Lei hated the iron and nodded the foreheads of the two women: "Don't you understand?" Chinese culture is broad and profound, how can you be so self-righteous? ”
"That's what our parents taught us when we were young, and I've never heard anyone say that this statement is incorrect." Wang Shui'er began to cry out for injustice.
It was Coleman who interrupted the interesting discussion, and he was the only one who would have been able to enter and leave the building so freely. There were two or three knocks on the door, and before the owners could reply, Coleman pushed the door in.
Behind Coleman was Sergeant Raymond of the Homicide Section of the Los Angeles Police Department, who looked anxious and walked with a full face. Seeing Wang Lei, Raymond walked over quickly and clasped the fat man's right hand with both hands: "Wang Lei, I need your help." ”
After following Wang Lei for a few cases, the women now heard that talking about the case was a little boring, put down the TV remote control, twisted their waists and went upstairs.
Wang Lei understands very well that Raymond is looking for himself, which is nothing more than that the case is stuck, and he just wants to provide a little guidance for himself. However, haven't you heard of any major cases in Los Angeles in recent days?
Coleman picked up the remote control on the coffee table and switched to a news channel, which was playing in full swing. There were street interviews, there were replays of the assassination scene, and there were those who wanted to interview Mike himself.
On TV, Mike pushes all the reporters to Lindsay's side, while he comforts Carrey and some of the frightened people.
James and another bodyguard clinged to Mike and Carrey's sides, not daring to be careless. Julie couldn't help but laugh when she saw this: "These bodyguards are all tall and big, it's better to participate in the beauty pageant than to be bodyguards, giggles." ”
Wang Lei pointed to the TV: "This is the case?" The case of the assassination in Attorney General's Square? You didn't catch the assassin red-handed? ”
Coleman glanced at Raymond, who was wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead very unnaturally: "Wang Lei, do you want to see the video of the live TV station that Raymond brought?" ”
Coleman, who was playing in the round, also gave Wang Lei a look, and Wang Lei found out about Raymond's embarrassment and smiled dumbly: "Raymond, you bring me the video, I will see if it can help you." ”
After watching it several times, Wang Lei frowned, stopped the camera at the position where Kerry was about to stand up with a tissue in his hand, and began to play it at a slow speed.
Kerry stood up, and the first step out of the road was stepping on the skirt he had dragged on the ground, and with a stumble, the Kerry man fell forward.
James, who was half a meter away in front, leaned forward, slid forward, rushed over this short distance, and grabbed Carey with one hand. Kerry then rolled on her side, and the whole person was about to fall to the ground on her back, but James held her waist with his other hand in time, and with a force, the two of them half-squatted on the ground.
Mike heard the exclamation of the guest behind him, turned his head to look, and also turned sideways and reached out to grab Kerry.
The muffled sound of gunfire swept across the sky, and on the podium, between Mike and Carrey and James, a large plank was lifted and sawdust flew up.
Mike hurriedly lay down, his figure was covered by the rostrum, James hugged Carrey, also prostrate, and hid next to Mike.
There was another dull gunshot, and immediately after the previous place, another wooden plank flew into the air, and the guests in the colorful booth and the people below reacted to what the reason was, and began to scatter and flee.
The reporters were very heroic, holding up their cameras or cameras and scanning different buildings around them, trying in vain to find out who fired the shots.
The video ended here, Wang Lei closed his eyes and thought, Coleman and Raymond sat on the sidelines and didn't dare to come out.
Coleman had seen the video many times in his office, and he had to turn to the F.B.I. for help because the Los Angeles city government was putting too much pressure on Raymond and the attorney general's office had called so many times.
Wang Lei watched the last part of the gunman no less than ten times, because this paragraph can find the location of the gunman according to the direction from which the bullet came.
It seems that his opinion is correct, Wang Lei's thoughts are similar to his own. Since Wang Lei lived in Los Angeles and Coleman has worked on several cases together, he has become more and more uncertain about some of his judgments.
After thinking for a few minutes, Wang Lei opened his eyes: "Let's go, look at the scene of the crime, I think you should also find the location of the gunman, right?" ”
Raymond did not disappoint Wang Lei, and the Los Angeles police were not stupid, and they found the gunman's location in an empty room on the 33rd floor of an unfinished building near the central plaza according to the direction of the ballistics.
However, the police have not yet found the warhead that was fired at the rostrum, and this is a huge project, and it is impossible to find it if the rostrum is completely dismantled piece by piece.
In addition, the police's ballistics experts also judged that this was a very powerful weapon based on the video footage from the scene, and it is possible that the warhead had already penetrated the rostrum and penetrated several meters underground.
Asked about the women's arrangements, Wang Shui'er is now losing interest in this, Julie shrugged indifferently, there are Cowman and Raymond, Wang Lei's safety is no problem, and there is not much difference between going and not.
Yang Qian definitely won't go, this is not the FBI's own case, the Los Angeles police, it doesn't do her any good, so she simply shook her head: "I'm with Wang Shui'er at home, I don't want to run away." ”
Nathan was in the car, he thought that Cowman and Raymond would call Wang Lei out soon, and he didn't bother to get out of the car, but he waited for more than half an hour, and he was about to fall asleep.
The entire central plaza was separated by a Los Angeles police cordon, and the crowd around it had dispersed a lot, leaving only a handful of reporters who liked to join in the fun, still waiting outside, trying to get some new first-hand information from the police.
The rostrum is now full of messes, and more than a dozen policemen are carefully dismantling the wooden planks. The dismantled planks are inspected by a few ballistics experts waiting nearby before they are thrown into the scrap pile.
"What building is the gunman's location?" Wang Lei didn't even look at the rostrum.
Raymond pointed to the two buildings that were about a few tens of meters away from work: "The one farther to the left is." ”
Climbing up the construction elevator, Wang Lei was very happy that the three women did not come, and the cement dust raised by the footsteps of several people was enough to unify the women's fancy clothes into a gray.
On the 33rd floor, a cordon has also been set up here, and there are two policemen guarding it. Raymond said hello, raised the cordon, and let Wang Lei, Cowman, and Nathan go in first.
When he arrived here, Wang Lei walked very slowly, stopping from time to time to take a look.
The footprints in several rooms on the ground attracted Wang Lei's attention, but he didn't say anything for the time being, just remembered the direction in his heart, and walked into the room where the gunman pointed to by Raymond was.
The unique plastic sheeting on the window aroused Wang Lei's curiosity, and he walked directly to the window, stood in that position, and looked through the small hole in the plastic sheeting to the square.
The field of vision is very broad, Wang Lei smashed his heart and praised it, and it can be seen from the location chosen by the gunner that this is a good hand. The two shots were missed, and it was immediately seen that this person was determined and was not easily affected by foreign objects.
There was a rope hanging by the window, and Wang Lei stretched out his hand and pulled it: "Raymond, didn't the fingerprints be extracted from the rope?" ”
Regardless of the fact that he had already affirmed in his heart that the police would not find any evidence, but the necessary procedures still had to be asked, and it was Raymond's head that answered Wang Lei.
Taking a step back, Wang Lei first squatted down and looked at the traces of a flat box pressed out of the cement ash on the ground, and Raymond explained on the side: "This is the guitar case used by the gunman for camouflage, and our experts have confirmed it." ”
Stretching out a finger and gesturing, Wang Lei felt that this mark was at least 5 mm thick. Rubbing his temples, Wang Lei returned to the window again, and stretched out an arm straight to aim at the small hole in the plastic sheeting.
No, he shook his head, there was always something wrong.
