Chapter 7: Death Note

Before the interrogation magistrate could continue to ask, Tu Wen suddenly realized something, and his expression became more and more shocked: "What? You say Zhou Liang is dead? He, he's dead? How did he die? Sheriff, you can't wronged me, you see, I confessed that I accidentally killed that bad gambler, I'm sure I'm going to be sentenced to death, right? I don't need to hide anything else, you can shoot me twice? Zhou Liang really has nothing to do with me, I really didn't kill ......"

The interrogation vigilante ignored his grievances and continued to interrogate him in detail from a roundabout angle according to the interrogation plan.

Listening to it, Feng Guozhu gradually felt it.

This Zhou Liang's death is very likely to have nothing to do with Tu Wen.

Ordinary people want to fight against experienced interrogators, unless they can resist the huge psychological pressure and keep silent and say nothing, otherwise as long as they confess, they will always reveal flaws if they want to hide and cover up.

But Tu Wen's explanation was not flawed.

This is not something that an ordinary person can do. And Tu Wen did it, so that he could almost prove that what he said was true.

Tu Wen was temporarily taken into custody and the investigation continued. After a lot of follow-up work, Tu Wen's suspicion of being a eucalyptus was completely ruled out by the special team.

Of course, the fact that he deliberately beat others to cause people to fall unconscious and injure them will continue to be investigated. But that's another eucalyptus.

If Tu Wen's suspicion is ruled out, then the previous speculation that "Zeng Jian was killed because of the progress of the eucalyptus and the threat to the murderer behind the scenes" cannot be established. Because it is clear that his investigation has not really progressed.

So what's next?

As a last resort, the task force had no choice but to expand the scope of the investigation. People turned over all the many unreasonable suicides in the past, including Zeng Jian's suicide, and once again carefully examined them, trying to find clues.

The investigative power possessed by the task force is not comparable to that of a mere Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau. The group even includes the world's top criminal investigation experts.

But...... After a full month of busyness, nothing was found except that the suicides of those people were really just suicides.

"I can guarantee that within the technological scope of our human civilization, there is no murderous method that can fake the victim as a suicide and evade our investigation. The suicides of the deceased were by no means forgery, and there was no possibility of forced suicide, induced suicide, or deception suicide.

In this way, when all possibilities have been ruled out, the last remaining possibility, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth. ”

At the summary meeting of the special group, the person in charge said with a blank face: "Therefore, the death of these people is suicide." Normal suicide. Including our former comrade-in-arms, Zeng Jian. ”

Feng Guozhu was a little unable to accept this conclusion. After all, the anomaly is clearly there, and anyone can see it. If you insist on saying that there is no abnormality, anyone will be unconvinced.

But he had to accept the current reality.

What if you don't accept it? The special group mobilized experts from all over the world to find traces of homicide, and insisted that it was not suicide but homicide?

Feng Guozhu could even perceive that the person in charge of the special group who was reading the summary at this moment, even he himself could not be persuaded by this set of rhetoric. But, so what?

Now in this situation, isn't he, like himself, still having to pinch his nose and admit this conclusion?

The wrap-up session ends. The task force was disbanded and the investigation was concluded.

Feng Guozhu was in a depressed mood.

"Bureau Feng, come to my office."

The head of the task force stopped him.

When I came to the office of the person in charge, I listened to the person in charge: "I don't feel happy, do I?" ”

Feng Guozhu smiled bitterly: "Leader, can you be happy?" ”

The person in charge was noncommittal and continued: "Zeng Jian is your subordinate? ”

"Yes. Very clever lad. ”

The person in charge stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry. I'll continue to report this eucalyptus. It will be reviewed again. If they think it's necessary, they'll send someone to investigate. ”

Feng Guozhu said bitterly: "What can you do if you check it again." This time, the world's top experts have been transferred, isn't it the same? ”

"It's different." The person in charge shook his head: "I can reveal a little secret to you." If the boss thinks it is necessary to continue the investigation, then the person who comes to the investigation next time ...... It's not ordinary people. ”

"Not an ordinary person? Will they be able to escape? Can you sprinkle beans into soldiers and call for wind and rain? ”

"You old Feng." The person in charge smiled: "What I can tell you is that if they can't find anything, then you will be completely dead." ”

The words of the person in charge made Feng Guozhu feel a little curiosity and a little expectation in his heart.

After the group was disbanded and the personnel were evacuated, he began to wait. But he waited for more than a week, without hearing anything.

So he realized that there was a high probability that his superiors did not think that it was necessary for these eucalyptus to reopen the investigation again.

No one will pay attention to it in the future.

"Hey......"

Sighing deeply, he buried this matter in his heart and put his energy into his normal work.

At this moment, in the capital city, thirteen buildings of the Planetary Security Agency. Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang, who left Li Wenhua's office, all had a touch of solemnity on their faces.

Lu Qingliang was still holding a thick file bag in his hand.

After receiving Lu Qingliang's notice, Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei rushed back from all over the world and gathered at the headquarters yesterday. After a day's rest, Yu came to Li Wenhua's office today and got the information for this mission.

"Fate...... Destiny? ”

This is the code name for eucalyptus this time.

Unjustified suicide that lasted for nearly a decade, up to hundreds of people? Unusually high suicide rates? After removing these unreasonable suicide eucalyptus, the suicide rate will return to normal? Even the security officer who checked the eucalyptus committed suicide inexplicably?

Lu Ming has realized that this is another extremely tricky eucalyptus.

But on the other hand, if the eucalyptus is not tricky, then the local security bureau will solve it on its own, and it really can't be solved, and the special eucalyptus team can also solve it, and it will not be here in the operations department of the Planetary Security Bureau.

If you didn't say it, read the paper first and understand the specific situation first.

In the conference room, several people watched for several hours before they had a preliminary understanding of eucalyptus.

"What do you guys think?"

Zhang Dingshan gently knocked on the table, waking up the three people who were in deep thought.

Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "I feel that the thinking of the Public Security Bureau and the special team before is reasonable. Now that we are taking over, we should also check along this line of thought. Of course, there is no need to check the on-site investigation and social relationship investigation, and the special team has already done this direction. ”

In terms of regular investigations, the Action 2 team has no advantage over the dedicated team. Even if the second team of operations were to restart the regular investigation again, there was a high probability that the people they could invite would be the same people that the special team had invited in the first place.

It doesn't make sense.

"I feel that the idea that I can continue with is the common ground investigation. Limited to conventional investigation thinking, there are some aspects that the special group did not investigate, such as...... Gene. ”

The original mountain god eucalyptus finally confirmed that the common denominator of the victims was genes. However, this is an unconventional aspect, and it is normal that the task force did not conduct an investigation in this regard.

After all, who would be a serious criminal to choose their victims based on their genes? Who would have thought of finding common ground by genetics?

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "This is a noteworthy point. Let's take note first. ”

"There is another point that can be checked, and that is the professional background and skills of these people."

"Do you suspect that these people are fake their deaths? Are those who kill themselves actively cooperating with some behind-the-scenes force? ”

This is something that has happened in both the mountain god eucalyptus and the prophecy eucalyptus.

If the professional background and skills of the deceased can piece together some needs, then we can probably guess the purpose of the mastermind. It's like a prophecy eucalyptus.

If you take the initiative to cooperate and use suicide to complete the purpose of "curtain call" from the real world, then even if you check the sky, it is impossible to find traces of his murder.

Lu Ming said: "Whether it is or not, you can check in this direction first." ”

"Yes. This is also a direction. ”

Lu Ming raised his hand, signaling that his thoughts had been finished. He Wei thought for a while, and then said, "This mission, I feel that we need to pay special attention to our own safety. ”

Lu Ming remembered the unreasonable suicide vigilante: "Indeed. I don't want to kill myself in the name of having a convulsion on my back. In short, you remember, I don't want to die, and if I commit suicide, someone must have killed me. You will avenge me. ”

Lu Ming is very satisfied with his current life. With such a sense of accomplishment and passionate work, such a close comrade-in-arms, treatment beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the parents and sisters at home are also living very well, only a fool wants to die.

He Wei stretched: "Me too." You know, there's no way I'm going to kill myself. The world is so big, I haven't finished reading it, how can I commit suicide. ”

Lu Qingliang said: "My psychological assessment is A+ every time. If I could kill myself, there would be no living people in the world. ”

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "I will not commit suicide." Everyone should pay attention to the fact that during the inspection, we supervise each other and pay attention to each other. If an individual feels abnormal, report it immediately. ”

"Yes."

"I don't have anything else but that."

Lu Qingliang scratched his head and said with some hesitation: "I feel that this eucalyptus is a bit similar to the Death Note...... Do you feel that way? ”

Lu Ming was stunned, and then reacted.

It's a bit like that.

Death Note is a comic that Lu Ming read when he was a child. The main premise is that there is a notebook where a person's name is written and that person dies.

In this way, the notebook holder can kill people without contact. And since it is a contactless killing, it is impossible to leave evidence, and it is impossible for the investigator to break the case.

Back to this time Eucalyptus, the unreasonable suicide eucalyptus that appeared regularly, the death scene without any traces of homicide......

It's like someone whose name was written on the Death Note and then died. The only difference is that in the Death Note comics, the Death Note is a form in which the death of the deceased can be arranged. And this eucalyptus, all the dead died by suicide.

Well, if this time Eucalyptus is really the Death Note, or some kind of mechanism similar to the Death Note causing death, Eucalyptus will be difficult to do.

Lu Ming also discussed with great interest in the forum, if he obtained the Death Note, how to use it so that no one would find out. Discussions went on and on, and in the end, the conclusion came that as long as the holder did not die on his own, then it was impossible for the investigative forces to find themselves.

Even, as long as it is not excessive, the investigative force will not even find out.

I arrange for a person to die in a car accident today, a person to be killed by a falling object tomorrow, and a person to be hacked to death with a knife the day after tomorrow, who can find out that this is arranged? Who can find out what is behind me?

There are so many people around the world who die every day due to various accidents, so many people who die of disease and natural causes, how can a few deaths be discovered?

It's simply impossible.

In the original book, the Death Note was finally found because of the holder's "work" to a certain extent.

Lu Ming hoped that it had nothing to do with some special death mechanism similar to the Death Note, but he also had to admit that there was indeed a similarity between Eucalyptus and the Death Note this time.

"Anyway, let's make a note of the possibility."

In the continuous discussion, the four gradually settled on several consensuses.

A few points to note above are one thing. On the other hand, several people agree that at this stage, they are still unable to determine whether these unreasonable suicides are really unreasonable, and whether there is really some hidden force that dominates all this.

However, you can first assume that there is indeed a hidden dominant force in it, and conduct a follow-up investigation based on this.

This can probably be regarded as a counter-evidence method, and another way of investigating.

The investigative approach of the task force and the local security bureau is to look for evidence to prove the existence of a covert dominant force. The idea of his own investigation is to presuppose the existence of a secret dominant force, and then look for evidence by predicting his way of doing things.

Even if no evidence can be found in the end, it can be regarded as a refutation that these suicides are normal.

After presupposing the existence of a surreptitious dominant force, combined with the reality that "all conceivable investigation plans have been found in a conventional way of investigation by conventional forces", it is convenient to define this surreptitiously dominant force as a "supernatural force" to a certain extent.

After all, if it weren't for supernatural forces, how could a regular investigation come of nowhere?

And since it is a supernatural force, then your next investigation methods can be free from the constraints of "common sense".

Lu Ming knew that this was his biggest advantage over the special group.

The group needs to follow "common sense", and some obviously ridiculous possibilities will not be considered at all, such as the possibility that aliens have taken control of people's brains and made people commit suicide.

But it's different.

This is a possibility that I will really consider.
