When I mentioned the names of the two cases I had been involved in, Peng Liang's eyes flashed with envy as he was doing something, and then he suddenly became excited, turned his face and asked me if I had participated in the sensational "Hand of God" serial murder case this year.

I drank the noodle soup and nodded, "Yes." ”

He was so excited that he couldn't sit still, and he couldn't speak incoherently: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what's your name...... Oh, Sue, Sue, Suni, I sometimes listen to people talk very absent-mindedly, don't you mind, hey, hey, can you tell me more about the case of the 'Hand of God'? “

I shook my head embarrassedly and said, "This is really not good, I have a confidentiality agreement with the police, and I can't disclose it to the outside world, otherwise I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

He suddenly laughed, raised his chopsticks and pointed at me and shouted, "I knew there was something inside this case!" The case has been solved, and if there is no inside information, there is no need to keep it secret, right?! ”

I didn't make a sound, just gave him a thumbs up.

He scanned the computer screen, turned his face to look at me, and then turned to look at the screen, without delaying his mouth: "Hey, tell me a little bit, my mouth is very tight, no one will know that you told me." ”

I smiled and ignored him.

He shook my arm and begged very earnestly, "Say a little, say a little." ”

I still smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't." ”

He was not happy, wrinkled his eyebrows and glared, and said, "I don't sleep all night to work for you, what if you tell me something?" Do you know that you pay attention to etiquette and exchanges? ”

Seeing him tell me about the conditions, I was a little anxious and said, "Hey, comrade genius, don't forget that you helped me with this favor today, for the sake of Dr. Zhuang's face!" ”

He thought about it for a while, and it was really like this, so the statement of the exchange of gifts was not valid, and he conjured up a separate statement to bargain with me, saying: "In this way, if you tell me a little bit today, even if I owe you a favor, if you need my help in the future, you must still be as desperate as this time, and you don't need to look at Dr. Zhuang's face, Dr. Zhuang can't give you face for the rest of your life, you do the work of investigating the case, and you will definitely need me in the future." ”

I still shook my head, very helpless: "It's really not that I don't want to tell you, I really can't say it, can you spare me?" I can tell you about other cases, and Dr. Zhuang can also tell you about the cases that he was involved in before, and I can tell you like a story. ”

He glanced at something on the computer screen on the right hand, immediately operated it, and then lowered his head and drank the last few mouthfuls of soup in the bowl, still not giving up, and discussed with me in a good voice: "You see if this will work, I don't want you to say anything, I ask, you answer, it's really inconvenient to answer, just nod and shake your head, so you can't be regarded as leaking, right?" ”

I heard something wrong, put down my chopsticks and asked him seriously why he was so interested in the "Hand of God" case.

He laughed twice and said, "I'm just curious." ”

He said, pointing to the bookshelf: "See, there are so many suspenseful criminal investigation books, I have always been particularly interested in this aspect, but I don't have the opportunity or the courage to participate." ”

I was not convinced by this reason.

I closed my eyes heavily, opened them, stared at him harder than before, and said word by word, "Let's be honest, why?" ”

He lowered his face and pursed his lips and thought for a while before he said, "You can't tell anyone." ”

I made a promise.

He said: "A few months ago, I also did something for the police, when the 'Hand of God' serial case was still happening, and I heard the police call, saying that Yang Wenshuo was not the most important, the key was the person behind her, and the pursuit could not hurt lives or anything. ”

I half-squinted and shook my head: "Impossible." I believe you help the police, but that kind of phone call, they can't call in person. ”

He squinted and smiled at me with a wrinkled face, glancing at the computer monitor out of the corner of his eye, suddenly pushed the chair back with his toes, reached out and pressed the space bar of the innermost keyboard, and made several movements in succession, and at the same time reached under the table and opened the drawer of a low cabinet and took out a coin from it and threw it to me.

No, it's not an ordinary coin.

After Peng Liang finished operating the things on the computer, he slid the chair to my side on tiptoe, and his movements were a little handsome, like hip-hop. He pointed to the coin in my hand and said, "It's a bugging device disguised as a coin." I also have a lot of curiosity about this kind of thing, and I like to fiddle with all kinds of electronic objects. ”

I played with the coin in my hand and was amazed, because it looked so ordinary, and I bought an ice cream and spent it, and no one thought about eavesdropping.

From this bugging disguised as a one-dollar coin, I was reminded of something else.

It's the tape recorder that Wu Sha once told me.

Wu Sha said that when Xiao Zhao was sent to Group B, she didn't have any recording equipment on her at all, but when she came out, she brought out a voice recorder disguised as a button, recorded everything she saw in the underground laboratory, and then secretly handed it to him after a few seconds of hugging. He analyzed that the recorder must have been given to her by someone in Group B, and the information inside was transmitted through her hands.

I vaguely began to feel that this Peng Liang's origin was not simple.

He said that he helped the police before, it must have been Chang Kun and them, and then he escaped without permission. Listening to what he said just now means that the phone call about Yang Wenshuo and the key person behind her was heard through this bugging device while helping Chang Kun and them do things.

I thought about it a lot, but my face was impassive, and I smiled lightly, saying, "You are so bold, you eavesdropped on the conversation of the police, and you went to jail for a bad time." ”

Peng Liang's face darkened when he heard this, and he said, "Don't scare me with imprisonment at every turn, it's useless!" When I get in a hurry, I'm also the kind of person who can do anything and get into any trouble. ”

I laughed and said, "I'm just reminding you, how did it become a scare, I'm not a police officer, I don't have the power to arrest you and go to jail, look at your reaction so much." ”

He pursed his lips and said, "I only agreed to help you in front of Dr. Zhuang, if you want to cheat me, Dr. Zhuang can't explain it." ”

I said solemnly, "Of course, Dr. Zhuang and I are good friends, and I will never cheat on her friends, otherwise I would have become someone, right?" ”

Then he rejoiced again, and said, "Well, now you agree with my proposal?" You don't have to take the initiative to say anything to me, just answer my questions, I'm really curious about that case, and I've always wanted to know more about the inside story but I just can't find a way. ”

I looked at him with half-squinted eyes: "Aren't you a hacker, why don't you just hack into the system of the Public Security Bureau to retrieve the file information?" ”

He glared at me, "Phew, I'm not going to do that death-seeking thing!" ”

Then I thought about it, flattened my mouth, and nodded slightly: "Okay, you ask, I can answer, if I can, I won't answer." ”

When Peng Liang saw that I agreed, he immediately stopped the work on the computer, sat upright, looked into my eyes like a student and asked, "The 'Hand of God' case is not over, is it?" ”

I hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.

He asked again: "Yang Wenshuo is not a murderer, right?" ”

I shook my head firmly.

He wondered, "Isn't it?" According to my reasoning, she should be a substitute for the dead. ”

I shook my head again.

He still didn't believe it, and asked again: "Are you sure those scum were really killed by Yang Wenshuo?" ”

I nodded.

He thought sideways for a while, and slapped himself on the thigh: "She's the murderer, but not the mastermind, right!" ”

I had to nod.

He was very satisfied with his reasoning ability, his face lit up, and he asked again: "The mastermind hasn't caught it yet, has he?" ”

"Yes."

He became more and more excited: "Is Yang Wenshuo really dead as the report said?" ”

"Yes."

"How did you die? Is it really a death from illness? ”

"Yes. A few years ago, I had uremia, both kidneys failed, and the transplant was not very successful. ”

"What about the mastermind?"

"Nowhere to be found."

He snorted, his face full of incredulity, mixed with ecstasy.

I can see that he is not interested in criminal investigation suspense, he is interested in criminal genius, and from a certain point of view, the "Hand of God" case is indeed a perfect crime. Peng Liang's current emotion is the admiration of a computer genius for a criminal genius.

Peng Liang was not satisfied, and wanted to inquire about more details, such as the motive for the crime and the specific method or something, of course I couldn't say it, and smiled vaguely. He was a very gentleman, and when he saw that I really didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any more questions, and continued to work, and his mood was much higher than before, saying, "Okay, I owe you a favor, and next time I need help with something, I don't have to go through Dr. Zhuang." ”

I smiled, didn't say anything, picked up my mobile phone and called Zhuang Jing's number again, but I still couldn't get through, so I asked him how he usually contacted Zhuang Jing.

He replied, "Phone." I don't use something that is insecure like WeChat. ”

I asked him which number he used to contact Zhuang Jing.

He didn't know why I suddenly asked this, and he was a little puzzled, but he still reported Zhuang Jing's number, and it was indeed the same as the one I called.

So I asked him: "Don't you know that Zhuang Jing's number has been turned off recently?" ”

He said: "I haven't called her for a long time, how would I know, do the matter of temporary residence permit, in fact, I can do it without the help of Officer Bai, there is no hacker on the document this year, but that day Dr. Zhuang called me to ask if there was anything I needed help, I remembered that he had a relationship with the police, so I asked her if she could arrange it, it is better to do it formally than to forge it, so I will know Officer Bai, who knows that he will bring you here after a few days of acquaintance." ”

Speaking of this, he frowned and looked reluctant: "I don't like to deal with people the most, there will always be trouble." ”

There was a sense of superiority in his tone that immortals don't like to deal with mortals, and I listened to it and thought it was funny, but I didn't really laugh.
