Lu Ming felt that today was an eye-opener and a bit of knowledge.

I'm afraid that this store can become what He Wei said "an authentic old store that is famous far and wide", and it has a great reputation, and this old dog also has a lot of contributions.

"Lao Wu, I've eaten all this rhubarb, it's not poisonous, can it be on the bottom of the pot?"

"yes, I can't wait."

The chubby hotel owner waved his hand: "Don't worry, wait for another half an hour." Wait until the rhubarb is really fine. ”

"Rhubarb can't be wrong, don't wait."

"You still can't trust rhubarb?"

"To be on the safe side, to be on the safe side."

The fat boss was not surprised, and explained to the customers with a stylized smile on his face, and insisted on it for half an hour. After that, seeing that the rhubarb was still lazily basking in the sun there, there was nothing to do, so I finally brought out the secret mushroom soup base, and sent the non-toxic mushrooms that had been tested by rhubarb for the diners to eat.

Lu Ming also planned to go back into the bag, took a step, glanced at the rhubarb, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Animal testing?"

The words composed of these four words exploded in Lu Ming's mind like a bolt of lightning.

The previous fog, the clues that seemed to be incompatible with each other, and all kinds of strange phenomena together formed a hard lock, which was unbreakable.

And now, these four words are like a key, and with a slight poke of the lock that you were completely helpless before, you will open it.

The door opened, and Lu Ming's eyes suddenly opened up.

At this moment, he thought of a lot of things. There are many things that I couldn't think of before, and they are all clear.

Following this beginning, Lu Ming's thoughts quickly moved deeper into the place.

"Lu Ming? What are you doing in a daze......"

At this time, because Lu Ming did not go back for a long time, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei also left the private room and went outside to find Lu Ming. So she saw Lu Ming standing quietly on the side of the road looking into the distance, as if he had fallen into a trance.

He Wei even opened his mouth to call him. But before he finished speaking, he was immediately stopped by Zhang Dingshan.

Lu Ming seemed to remember something. Don't bother him. ”

He Wei was stunned, and then her heart beat violently.

Lu Ming, did he remember anything?

Really?

"Look, look, I'll just say, ineffective overtime is ineffective in that self-abuse, you have to combine work and rest, you have to relax when it's time to relax, look, I just took him out to eat delicious, and he hasn't eaten yet, no, inspiration is coming, right?"

Her face was full of joy.

The two of them also stood quietly on the side, waiting for Lu Ming.

After a long time, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

He figured out a lot of things.

Turning around, seeing Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, Lu Ming was a little surprised: "When did you come?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

He Wei said directly: "Have you figured out something?" Tell me quickly. ”

Lu Ming nodded: "I did think of a possibility. I can't guarantee that it's correct, but at least, it can be used as a clue to keep looking. Let's go back to the private room first. ”

Back in the private room, in the face of delicious mushrooms, He Wei also lost her appetite. Closing the door and confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Lu Ming said, "You should have noticed it too." Wu Biao is the first case of this abnormal suicide. and, except for Wu Biao, the rest of the abnormal suicide victims...... There were no reports of any abnormalities in the animals around them. ”

Among the well-documented suicides, Wu Biao is indeed the first case. Even, Wu Biao didn't grasp it before committing suicide, and he only mastered it by following the line of "gossip mirrors are commonly placed in shops on Nanlin Street".

Before Wu Biao, there was indeed a possibility of abnormal suicide, but after several people studied and judged, they agreed that it was unlikely. In other words, it is very likely that Wu Biao is the first case of unreasonable suicide.

"Animal suicide? This...... What does this mean? ”

He Wei was a little puzzled.

Lu Ming said: "Originally, I didn't know what it meant. But just now, I saw that the owner of this shop used the big yellow dog raised at home to verify that the mushroom soup was poisonous and non-toxic, and used it for animal testing, and I remembered...... Could the animals that committed suicide before Wu Biao also be animal tests? ”

Zhang Dingshan's forehead wrinkled slightly, as if he remembered something.

"Going back to the original of the eucalyptus, our judgment of the eucalyptus. At the time, we agreed that there was a high probability of some unknown type of 'supernatural interference'. In other words, there is a person, or organization, that has mastered some kind of method of 'unnatural suicide'.

Here, we will not discuss what this method of abnormal suicide is, what the process is, etc., as long as we first determine the existence of this method for the time being.

Later, we continue to speculate about what is the most reasonable way for the individual or organization to use this method when they are just learning it? ”

He Wei reluctantly shouted: "Animal testing! ”

"Yes, animal testing." Lu Ming was full of solemnity: "Just like after you or I master this method, because of lack of understanding, not knowing the consequences, and not being confident enough, even if you want to kill someone, you will usually choose an insignificant animal to test this ability for the first time." ”

Animals are less involved. Even if you fail, you won't have any consequences for yourself. If successful, the capabilities, effects and possible limitations of such an approach can be observed.

If you choose someone to start at the beginning, it is easier to have an uncontrollable situation, and it will not end well once you fail.

Choosing animals for testing is a very reasonable behavior.

"That person, or organization, after mastering this method, the first target selected was Wu Biao. But he didn't attack Wu Biao directly, but first used Wu Biao's dog and goose as experimental subjects, and waited for the results of the experiment to confirm that it was really effective, and then he ...... Wu Biao."

Lu Ming nodded: "I think so." So the next question is, why did that person or organization choose Wu Biao as the first target? ”

Wu Biao's relevant information instantly flowed through He Wei's mind.

Wu Biao was a well-known street gangster on Nanlin Street at that time, a ruffian, and a second-rate son. He was angry with his parents, beat his wife away from domestic violence, and usually was domineering, bullying men and women.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the scum of society, scum.

There should be many such people who usually hate him. I don't know how many people are looking forward to his death.

He Wei thought thoughtfully: "This person or organization who has mastered this supernatural power and can make people commit suicide abnormally...... should have a grudge against Wu Biao. ”

"I'm inclined to suspect that it was a person, not an organization, that had this power in the first place. It is a normal choice for this person to suddenly grasp this supernatural power through some unknown way, and then use this power to solve his enemies. Judging from Wu Biao's social level, people who can have enmity with Wu Biao should not have a high social level. ”

The social level is high, how can it be intersecting with people like Wu Biao.

He Wei became more and more excited: "Yes, it is a grudge against Wu Biao!" He mastered this power, first killed Wu Biao's dogs, geese and mice, and confirmed the use of this method after confirming the norms and effects of this method, and then decisively attacked Wu Biao and killed Wu Biao!

I suspect that when Zhou Mingsheng went to see Feng Shui, the cat that crashed into him and died was also killed by this person! The purpose is to warn Zhou Mingsheng and let him not meddle in his affairs! He was afraid that Zhou Mingsheng would find out what threatened him.

Well, this is also in line with the mentality of just mastering this power, not confident enough in yourself, slightly threatened - even if it is only a possible threat, to overreact in order to protect yourself! ”

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "This is indeed a direction worth investigating. Okay, let's check out those who have a grudge against Wu Biao. ”

"No, you don't."

Contrary to the expectations of the two, Lu Ming directly denied this direction.

"This kind of ruffian hooligan, I don't know how many people want him to die, and Wu Biao has been dead for more than ten years, too much time has passed, and it may not be easy to investigate. I have an easier way. ”

Looking at the two, Lu Ming said slowly: "Actually, all the clues have been placed in front of us. ”

He Wei said eagerly: "Say it quickly, don't sell it!" ”

"The clue is very simple, that is, why is the probability of accidents among the local residents of Nanlin Street so low, and most of them are outsiders?

Combined with the assertion that even if the supernatural force was used to cause the victim to commit suicide, the murderer at least had contact with the victim, we can roughly draw the following inference: Did the murderer have less contact with the local residents of Nanlin Street and more contact with outsiders? ”

Zhang Dingshan's eyes narrowed: "The murderer is also a local resident of Nanlin Street?" ”

"What do you mean by this? Why...... Well? ”

He Wei was puzzled at first, then reacted, and couldn't help nodding: "It seems that this is indeed the case." ”

Nanlin Street is a food street with a large number of outsiders arriving almost every day. Most of the local residents of Nanlin Street are engaged in catering or service industries, specifically serving these immigrants.

For the local residents of Nanlin Street, serving outsiders is both work and life.

This leads to a somewhat counterintuitive result: the natives of Nanlin Street, who live and work in the same place, have less contact with each other and more with outsiders.

Then, since "even if the supernatural force was used to cause the victim to commit suicide, the murderer at least had contact with the victim", and since "the local residents of Nanlin Street, although they work and live in the same place, have less contact with each other, but have more contact with outsiders", the phenomenon that the murderer is identified as also a local resident of Nanlin Street, and "the local residents of Nanlin Street commit very few abnormal suicides, and the vast majority of them are outsiders".

Even the fact that "the more times you visit Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of abnormal suicide" can be explained.

The reason is very simple, the more times you come to Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of coming into contact with the murderer who is a local resident of Nanlin Street, and the higher the probability of interacting with him, which leads to his decision to kill.

"Makes sense!"

He Wei became more and more excited: "The latest abnormal suicide eucalyptus has been less than half a month. The deceased was also found to have traveled to Nanlin Street. The same was true of the previous deceased. This proves that from the initial suicide of Wu Biao to the recent past, the murderer has been on Nanlin Street! He's been on Nanlin Street for at least a dozen years! ”

"So we have four constraints."

Zhang Dingshan said quickly: "First, the murderer is very likely to have a grudge against Wu Biao. Second, the murderer is an old resident of Nanlin Street, who has been staying for more than ten years. Third, the murderer is still on Nanlin Street at the moment! Fourth, based on the fact that the murderer had more contact with outsiders, it can be speculated that the murderer should have also run a certain shop on Nanlin Street, or worked in a certain shop. ”

Generally speaking, only those who run a shop or work in a certain shop will have more contact with outsiders. Of course, there may also be special circumstances, for example, the person likes to wander around all day, and he likes to wander the streets, so that he or she has more contact with outsiders. However, this is a small probability situation, and it is not considered for the time being.

Check the eucalyptus, of course, you must first check the situation with a high probability, and the situation with a high probability cannot be checked, and there is no gain, so you will check the small probability. This is the normal way of thinking.

Compared with the previous direction of investigation, that is, to investigate Wu Biao's social circle, which died more than ten years ago, at this moment, with these four restrictions, the follow-up investigation has become countless times clearer at once.

No matter how large the survey sample is, these four restrictions will be carried out, and the final screening of eligible people may not exceed ten.

It can almost be said that the murderer has been locked at the moment!

"Let's go! Check it out now! ”

He Wei slapped up, but it was Lu Ming who stopped her.

"What's the hurry! The murderer has been staying for more than ten years, and he can't run away after a while. Eat first, eat first! It tastes so good, it must be delicious. ”

At this moment, Lu Ming was not in a hurry.

He Wei said anxiously: "When are you still thinking about eating?" ”

Lu Ming glanced at He Wei: "Who told me that the more urgent it is, the more useless it is?" I don't want to be masochistic, I have to treat myself. ”

"Eucalyptus can't be considered masochistic...... The eucalyptus is clear, can it be called masochism?! ”

Zhang Dingshan coughed lightly: "Eat first, and only when you are full will you have the strength to check the eucalyptus." ”

He Wei finally sat down stupidly.

Lu Ming put the mushrooms in the pot, scalded them, and ate them with dipping sauce, and sure enough, he felt that the aftertaste was endless, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

"It's so good, no wonder this store is so popular."

He sighed heartily.

Under He Wei's urging, this meal failed to let Lu Ming savor it after all. The meal was solved at an unprecedented speed, and the three of them immediately got into the car and headed towards the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau at a gallop.

Feng Guozhu and some of the security officers who were assigned to cooperate with the operation of the second team were summoned.

"These are the four filters. I ask you to screen immediately and find out who is eligible. However, it is important to note that the investigation process must be conducted in secret, confidentially and without alarming anyone. Otherwise...... It can be life-threatening. ”
