Chapter 19 magician who disappeared

The next day, two colleagues changed outside the door of the ward. The two robots were as cold as ever. I only knew that the colleague who wrote the report had gone back and was replaced by two young police officers who had just entered the police station and treated me very well. It's respect, and it puts my mind at ease. Chatting with two young people, I found out that one of them was named Gao and the other Liu, so I called them Xiao Gao and Xiao Liu. Xiao Gao comes from a family of police officers, and his father is also an old police officer.The situation of Xiao Liu is even more interesting. He also became a policeman because his girlfriend works in the police center and is a police officer of 110.In the police station, there are many couples like this, and there are even more good stories in the police circle.

Xiao Liu was in a passionate relationship with his girlfriend. He sat by my hospital bed for a while, then ran to the corridor to talk to his girlfriend. Not long after he came back, he went out to make a phone call again.Xiao Gao saw that he looked funny, and was about to laugh at him, but I hurried in and said, "Just let him make a few more phone calls, your days as a police officer are still short, and you will know when your days are long. Being able to make a few phone calls and talk about small household matters is an extremely luxury for the police. When you come into contact with more and more cases in the future, there will always be a few cases that are unclear. I don’t have the time to call and talk about housework.”

"Is this really the case?" The young Xiao Gao expressed doubts. "My father is also a police officer. I heard from him that most police officers will not encounter a few decent cases in their entire lives. Their lives are more mediocre than ordinary people." "That's right," I agreed, "far more police officers die peacefully than die in gunfights. But you can't deny that, compared to other professions, the police are the most vulnerable. to the industry of suspenseful events." Xiao Gao was dubious: "Oh, then tell us, what kind of strange cases have you encountered?"

I shook my head: "You should know that there was Wilbur in our police station before, and he was invincible. He ended the history of unsolved cases in our police station. So since Wilbur's time, we have no more cases worth mentioning. Take it out. However, we are a special case here. In most police stations in the world, the police officers are still nothing but mediocre people, and it is inevitable to talk about things that make you hang in your heart, but you will never be able to solve them.” "Tell me, tell us quickly, is there any case that has not been solved yet?" Xiao Gao and Xiao Liu hurriedly urged me.

"Okay, let me tell you about the case of Houdini's disappearance." I said, "Houdini is a famous European magician. The residents of the city will tell each other and go to watch. "The magic that Houdini was going to perform has not been cracked in detail until now. During the performance, the assistant first lifted up a huge glass water tank, which was filled with water. Then the magician Houdini came out, and the The assistant handcuffed him behind his hands, wrapped his whole body in chains, tied him up firmly, and put him in a black box. Then the box was hoisted up by an elevator and sank to the bottom of the water. At this time, the eyes of the audience were all fixed on On the black box in the transparent water tank, the safety of the magician is worried.

"The time is getting longer and longer, and gradually some audience members lose their breath and shout loudly, demanding to open the box quickly and release the magician. There is no movement for such a long time, I am afraid that the magician has already suffocated to death up. "Amidst the commotion of the audience, I saw the box in the water suddenly bubbling and bubbling, and with a bang, the magician got out of the box, swam quickly, and floated to the surface of the water. In an instant, all the audience Shouting wildly, applauding the wonderful performance of the magician.

"The magician Houdini's performance is so popular. "Finally one time, Houdini still stood on the stage to accept the warm cheers of the audience as usual, and then the assistants twisted his arms behind him, put on handcuffs, and then wrapped them with dense chains, and closed the door. Then the elevator roared, hoisted the black box up, and slowly sank to the bottom of the water. "During this process, the audience watched intently in silence. Now everyone knows that Houdini will release the iron cuffs on his hands behind his back in that small black box, and then release his body from the heavy chains. Finally, the box was opened and the water surfaced. This process has been performed many times. No one doubts that the magician will miss. Everyone just admires that the magician has done things beyond the limit of human imagination.

"So for this performance, the audience held their breath and wanted to appreciate the magician's amazing stunts again. "Everyone was waiting, waiting, waiting for the moment when the magician would come out of the box and come to the surface. "But this time, the waiting time for the audience was obviously a bit long. It has passed the time when the magician got out of the black box in the past, but there was still no movement in the water. The audience began to commotion, and only Houdini's assistant was safe and sound. , the beautiful magic girl is still performing on stage to add to the entertainment.

"A long time passed, and there was still no movement in the water tank. This time, even Houdini's assistant sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the elevator to lift the black box out of the water tank. There was a commotion in the auditorium, everyone Trapped in panic, everyone believed that the magician Houdini had probably suffocated to death in the black box after his failed performance this time. "The black box slowly rose out of the water with the roar of the machinery, and landed on the ground. The assistant ran over and opened the black box, and there was a crash, and the strong iron chain that had been wrapped around Houdini's body fell from the black box. But the box was empty, and the magician Houdini was not in it.

"So where is Houdini? "Nobody knows the answer to that. "The magician Houdini disappeared mysteriously in a closed black box. After a hundred years, no one has heard of him. "This is the disappearance case of Houdini, the famous magician in European history. No one has solved the case so far, and it is one of the biggest unsolved cases in the history of detectives." After I finished speaking, I looked at the two young police officers and said, "Both of you, if your police career is long enough, maybe you will encounter a similar case. You have to work hard, no matter how mysterious the case itself is." Qi, we will never allow another unsolved case to appear in our hands."

After listening to my narration, the police officer Xiao Gao was silent and lost in thought.Xiao Liu's expression was a bit weird. He hesitated, hesitated, and finally said a word: "Officer Xia, the case you mentioned is really strange. But we may have encountered a case even more bizarre than the case of Houdini's disappearance." The incident. This incident was also my girlfriend who answered the call at the police center and just called to tell me."
