Chapter 6 3. Death of Sima Linda

Lu Duan Jijun, his partner Xiaoding, and forensic doctor Dr. Chen arrived at the villa of the deceased Sima Linda at 9:00 am. The villa is located in the Yahekou Reservoir area, 30 kilometers north of Nanyang City. An isolated building faces thousands of hectares of blue waves.The villa has no walls, but thorny plants are planted around the walls, and inside the walls are pomegranates, jujube trees and Chinese toon.It was early spring, and the pomegranate and Chinese toon trees burst out with green buds, and a few yellow wild flowers were dotted among the tender grass in the corner.This is a typical farmyard, but there is a beautiful two-seater orpter parked in front of the building, showing the identity of the owner.The orthopter is silver-gray, and looks like a vigorous homing pigeon, its soft and flexible wings are hugging the body tightly at this moment.Xiao Ding was very interested in it, turned around to look at it, and praised it.The small building has two floors, the exterior is rough, but you can't help but see it when you enter the room.The interior decoration is not luxurious, but refined, elegant and of high taste.Light cyan curtains, white walls slightly blue, a large LCD wall-mounted screen hangs in the middle of the living room, and several green cycads and plantains are placed.

Only Lao Du from the Yahe Reservoir District Police Station was guarding, and there were no onlookers. This made Ji Jun and Chen Fayi heave a sigh of relief, because it meant that the scene was not damaged.According to the veteran policeman, Sima Linda bought a house here a year ago and decorated the interior according to his own ideas. Since then, he has lived here for a few days every few months.He didn't have much contact with the people around him, but he ordered fresh milk during the time he lived here, and it was the milkman who discovered his death this morning.He also said that after the milkman reported the crime, the police station immediately blocked the news. In addition, the location of the place is remote, so the neighbors were not alarmed.

The deceased leaned on a computer swivel chair in the study with a peaceful expression.The computer in front of me was not turned off, it was in the screen saver program, and a row of numbers representing the time swayed lightly on the screen, tirelessly, and every time it collided with the edge of the screen, it would bounce back according to the law of reflection. Dr. Chen immediately went to work, first sniffing his nose vigorously, he was identifying the smell of corpses.Ji Jun has worked as a policeman all his life, and he has encountered more than a dozen autopsies alone, so he skillfully helped Dr. Chen while making independent judgments.His judgment can be regarded as at least half an expert.

Sima Linda was very young, just in his early thirties, with delicate features, no pain could be seen on his face, and he was very calm, but this "expressionless" face was caused by muscle relaxation.Due to the relaxation of the masseter muscles, the lower jaw drooped slightly, making him look slightly older.Rigidity has occurred in his corpse, the buttocks have become flattened, and there are obvious dark purple-red plaques, which seem to belong to the stage of collapse and have not yet spread outside the blood vessels.The skin had dried and hardened, and the body had grown cold.No signs of struggle.

Judging from these circumstances, he must have committed suicide, a typical overdose of sleeping pills. Dr. Chen (full name is Chen Zhanghongsheng) has been busy for a long time and came to almost the same conclusion as Ji Jun.He extracted some undissolved white powder from the stomach of the deceased. It must be a barbiturate, most likely luminal, a common hypnotic, with a lethal dose of nine grams.Judging by the temperature of the body and the plaque on the body, the death occurred between 3:30 and 4:30 in the morning. Ji Jun used the iodine-silver photosensitive plate transfer method to remove the fingerprints of the deceased, and took fingerprints from teacups, keyboards, doorknobs, etc. in the room.Preliminary comparison, except for the fingerprints of outsiders on the doorknob (later found to be the milkman's), there are only fingerprints of the owner in the house. It seems that the owner lived a secluded life here and had no visitors.This makes the case look very simple, basically it can be determined that the deceased died of suicide.Then, the future job is to find out the cause of suicide.

But those judgments reversed a minute later.Dr. Chen was already doing the aftermath of the corpse. At this moment, Xiao Ding walked over and typed on the computer keyboard. He wanted to check whether the deceased had left a suicide note in the computer, because no written suicide note was found at the scene.After the screensaver screen disappeared, a single line of words flashed on the screen: Beekeeper's decree: do not wake the bees. Xiao Ding shouted nervously: Lao Lu, Lao Chen, look!When Ji Jun saw this line of words, his nerves immediately tensed up.What does it mean?Don't wake up the bees.This line of characters is weird, confusing, and obscure, and it is very likely that there is a deep meaning in it!He said, Xiao Ding, check the files in the computer carefully, focusing on the contents within two days.Xiao Ding sat down and carefully checked all the documents, but found nothing more.Most of the documents were probably the dead man's papers or notes, all of which were filthy.But there is a big harvest: Xiao Ding found out the time when that line was stored in memory: 3:15 this morning.

According to Dr. Chen's judgment, the time of death of the deceased was after 3:30 in the morning, so this line of writing is likely to be the last words entered by the deceased, his last words. But what does this line mean?Is it a warning to someone?A hint to the police?Or is it purely pointless doodles?Xiao Ding's round face was taut and tense, and he said nervously: "Old Lu, he must have killed him! This last line was typed by him when he was about to die. It must have been a code word to warn the police, and he didn't say anything!" Lao Lu smiled, but did not comment.Xiao Ding is a new student in the police school, and it is his first time to get involved in a murder case. He will transfer all the reasoning of Holmes to the case.Lao Lu said vaguely:

"This sentence is indeed doubtful, let's talk about it." The deceased had his ID card in his pocket, a work permit from the Institute of Intelligence of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a credit card in his wallet, and a photo of a woman.The woman is quite beautiful, with very revealing clothes, high breasts, a sexy big mouth, slightly sunken eye sockets, fair and smooth skin, it seems that the seductive texture of the skin can be felt from the photos.A single photo without a background can't tell her height, but her slender legs and arms give people the impression that this woman is relatively tall, at least medium-to-high.She exudes a kind of heart-pounding vitality, with enchanting, is a westernized Chinese beauty.On the back of the photo are four words: Your Jojo.The font is very clumsy, like the handwriting of a primary school student.However, Lu Duan Jijun knew that in the 1930s when computers were extremely popular, many young people were not good at writing Chinese characters, including his assistant Xiaoding.Therefore, it is impossible to judge the cultural quality of this woman from the quality of the font alone.

Xiao Ding looked at the photo carefully and said, "Is it the deceased's lover or fiancee? Do you think she is from Nanyang or from outside?" "What do you say?" "In my opinion, she is from a big city. Yes, she is definitely a person from a big city. She has an... aggressive temperament. She may be from Beijing, because the deceased's main living circle is in Beijing." "Yes, contact Beijing, this beautiful woman will be our first investigation subject." Ji Jun was about to call Beijing, and it was police officer Chen Wangjinxin who answered the call. This was also an old police officer who had cooperated with Ji Jun on a case in the past.Lao Lu briefly introduced the situation here, and asked him to check the background information of the deceased and the situation of the woman in the photo.Officer Chen said, "No problem, please send the photo."

Xiao Ding took photos with a digital camera and uploaded them via the Internet.Lao Du said: It's already noon, let's go, go to eat, I will be the host.Lao Lu said: Don't bother!There is everything in the refrigerator here. The owner is dead, and throwing things here is a waste. Let's cook for ourselves. The four of them worked together, and quickly put together a table of meals, which were quite rich, including diced pork with spicy peppers, sliced ​​magnolia meat, three shredded cold salad, sweet and sour tenderloin, and hot and sour tripe soup. The staple food was milk and rice.Xiao Ding took out another case of Tsingtao beer from the cupboard, and said with a smile:

"I think if Sima Linda is still alive, he will definitely entertain us well. Let's not be polite, and don't disobey the master's wishes." Lao Lu didn't stop him, but just ordered: "I still have to work in the afternoon, so don't drink too much." When they ate in the dining room, they glanced at the dead man in the study from time to time.Dr. Chen said perplexedly, I think this case is a bit evil today. From the scene, it is a typical suicide case, but what does that line of yin and yang on the computer mean?Lao Lu said, yes, these twelve words make me uneasy.I have a hunch that the investigation of this case will not go well. After lunch, the reply call from Beijing arrived.The investigation of Sima Linda did not reveal any doubts. He was a very valued young scientist in the Institute. His career was smooth sailing. His parents who settled in Switzerland were quite wealthy (his small plane was a gift from them), and he had no abnormal behavior before his death.The general reaction of people is: he will not commit suicide, he has no reason to commit suicide!The identity of the woman in the photo has also been clarified. Her name is Bai Zhang Qiaoqiao. She is a well-known singer in the capital. However, her fame is mainly due to her appearance rather than her singing talent. " singer.She has a close relationship with Linda, and the single apartment she lives in was given to her by Linda. "However," the other side said by the way: "This Qiao Qiao is definitely not at the scene of the crime. We already know that she was in another man's bed that night." Xiao Ding easily changed his point of view and said, "The deceased must have committed suicide! Think about it, it's a natural thing for a beautiful lover—broken love or wearing a cuckold—to commit suicide." Lu Duan Jijun didn't bother to argue with him, but just stabbed He said: "I see that your mind is very active." Xiao Ding laughed.Ji Jun is not very impressed with this young man. He is active in thinking, has a wide range of interests, loves friends, and is easy to communicate with. He is only not interested in one thing, which is his own profession.Ji Jun believes that Xiaoding will never become a good criminal investigator in this life. They put the deceased's body in the refrigerator in the car and prepared to take it back to the Municipal Bureau for a detailed autopsy, and then said goodbye to Lao Du from the Yahe Police Station.As soon as he went out, Xiao Ding ran towards the orthopter with his eyes shining. He was already impatient, and even found time to circle it for a long time during lunch: "It's V-shaped bee, so beautiful! It has navigation function, two seats, and the speed is 650 kilometers per hour. The orthopter is designed to imitate the wings of birds. Although the speed is lower, it is very flexible and very fuel-efficient. This The V-type bee is a new species that was released last year. "Old Lu," he suddenly thought of an idea, "let's take it when we go to Beijing for investigation." Lao Lu said: "Where can I find a pilot? Our city bureau doesn't have a flapper. As far as I know, there are only two in Nanyang, both of which are rich." "I'll drive it! I passed the orthopter pilot's license when I was in school." He actually took out a driver's license from his underwear pocket, which was stamped with the stamp of the Beijing Municipal Police Department.Lu Duan Jijun looked at the driver's license and kept shaking his head. He was worried about letting this frizzy young man take him to heaven.Xiao Ding obviously knows what others think of him, saying: "How about this, you and Chen Fayi go back by car, and I will drive the orthopter back to Nanyang alone. As long as I can survive to Nanyang, don't you feel relieved?" "No." Lao Lu said bluntly, "If you want to die, I must at least bear the blame for ineffective leadership." Xiao Ding was in a hurry, so he held his driver's license in front of the two of them: "Look, can the driver's license be fake? My grades are still excellent. Lao Lu, promise me, or I have to send someone to throw this car away." The wing plane is being transported back to Beijing." Unable to resist his entanglement, Lao Lu had no choice but to agree.It was already 3:30 in the afternoon, and he and the forensic doctor drove back to Nanyang.He couldn't help worrying along the way, in case the plane crashed, he would at least be punished for negligence of duty by the leader.Over there, Xiao Ding went through the procedure of handing over the orthopter with the Yahe police station in a hurry, and applied for the flight route.When he went to work the next day, he landed in the city bureau's courtyard in his orthopter, looking majestic like a triumphant warrior. They rushed to Beijing that day, and the orthopter shortened the journey to just over an hour.They flew north along the central canal of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, watching a line of clear water stretch out among the green.There are many historic sites in this area, such as the famous Gualijin ancient ferry on the Baihe River, and the famous "Xia Road" in the Qin and Han Dynasties, etc. However, these historical sites are all covered by modern buildings.The orthopter is indeed very light. It can hover in the air, reverse, and fly close to the ground.Its flapping, sometimes outstretched wings glide effortlessly in updrafts, reminiscent of the mythical roc.Lao Lu originally thought that its operation would be relatively complicated, but in fact most of its operations are carried out by computer, and manual operation is quite simple.After yesterday's practice, Xiaoding has found the feeling. The orthopter flew up and down lightly, crossed the Yellow River, and swept across the Hebei Plain. "How is it?" He turned his head and asked Lao Lu behind him.Lao Lu sincerely praised: "Not bad, really good. Hurry up and ask Director Gao to buy one, and you can become a professional driver." At nine o'clock they landed at the Institute of Intelligence, Chinese Academy of Sciences.The Institute is located in the north of Zhongguancun, outside the Third Ring Road. It is a modernist building. The exterior shape is like a row of spiraling musical notes. The extremely large glass windows store the green space in front of the building and the fields in the distance. .Chen Wangjinxin of the Beijing Bureau and Yi Tian, ​​director of the research institute, were waiting for them in the office.Officer Chen said: The Municipal Bureau attaches great importance to this case and asked him to fully assist. "Have Linda's parents notified?" "Notified, they are traveling in Europe and cannot be contacted for a while. The European police are looking for them, as long as they use their credit cards or buy air tickets, they will be able to find them." "May I ask Director Yi Tian to introduce Linda's situation again?" "The situation was basically clarified yesterday. Linda's situation is very simple. People in the institute don't believe that he committed suicide. However, a new situation was discovered during the investigation yesterday. According to reports, his mentor, Mr. Ji Sichen, asserted that He committed suicide." He spoke objectively, without any hint of words.Ji Jun looked at Police Officer Chen, and the latter nodded slightly. Undoubtedly, this professor Gong Ji who was eager to assert that the deceased committed suicide was worth meeting.But Xiao Ding couldn't help smiling, and muttered softly, Gong Ji Sichen, what a good name, isn't it just a rooster crowing! Ji Jun glared at him and asked, "What is the reason for his judgment?" The director shook his head: "It's not very convincing, at least it didn't convince me. But I don't need to repeat it, you have to see him anyway. Do you want me to accompany you?" "Don't bother you, just send someone to take us there." The humanoid maid opened the door, brought three cups of coffee for the guests, and went to the study to invite the master.The room is furnished in a very romantic way, with all the purple sand tea sets on the ancient shelves (Lu Duan Jijun guessed from this that the owner may be from Yixing), with simple and heavy shapes.Hanging in the hall is a painting of running script, the handwriting is flying like a phoenix, and it is difficult to recognize that the inscription is "Sichen's handwriting".That said, the master is still an expert in calligraphy.Xiao Ding has been waiting curiously, wanting to see what this Mr. "cock crowing" looks like. The master came out, with clear eyes, silver hair, wearing white silk home clothes and slippers, with a hint of aloofness between his brows.He welcomed the two with cold politeness, and asked straight to the point: "Are you here for Linda?" Lu Duan Jijun said respectfully: "Yes, we are from Mr. Sima's hometown, and we are here to investigate the cause of his death." "It's a pity," said Professor Gong Ji, "He is a very talented scientist. Although he is not a peerless genius like Einstein or Newton, his genius is enough to become a master in a professional field. I am his teacher, but I believe that his achievements in this life will definitely surpass mine. It's a pity, it's a pity." "May I ask what field he studies?" "It's a very important field: the intellectual level and the computer's 'scum stone'." Lu Duan Jijun hurriedly wrote down the intellectual level and the computer's nest stone.He doesn't know what the intelligence level is, but he probably heard these words correctly. As for what is "computer nest stone"?Unable to guess, he decided to wait a while before asking.The professor explained: "I said that his research field is very important, that is, from the perspective of history and human development, there is no recent or military use, so you don't have to wonder who is against him. carry out the assassination." "I heard that Mr. once speculated that he committed suicide?" "Yes. As I said, he is a rare genius, but geniuses often see the essence of existence better than ordinary people. When his thinking is too advanced and loses the support of morality and belief, he often causes hesitation, depression, Mental imbalance. Suicides of genius scientists abound in history." He fluently listed the names of many foreigners, but Lu Duan Jijun only remembered the name "Tulin". He knew that Turin was a famous 20th century Mathematician, one of the founders of computer technology.There is also a suicide who was a friend of Fermi, the father of the American hydrogen bomb. He never used a math table in his research (there were no computers in that era), because he could calculate all the data in an instant. This detail impressed him very much. deep.But generally speaking, the professor's words are too mysterious, and they seem to be listening to heaven.The professor obviously noticed this too, and explained after a short pause: "What I said may be difficult for you to understand. For example, you are all men, you are born to know how to chase women, and love between men and women. You don't think about where the motivation for love comes from. But those creatures who think deeply Scientists have discovered that love is just an appendage of sexual reproduction, a trap set by genes to continue themselves, and love and maternal love are in the final analysis the behavioral responses stimulated by hormones and progesterone. When a person sees through the meaning of love Essentially, it is difficult for him (she) to love blindly like ordinary people." Ji Jun couldn't listen to these mysterious words, and it seemed that Officer Chen felt the same way.He thought, why does this Mr. Rooster keep talking in circles, but he still listened with a smile.Professor said: "Smalinda's suicide was not due to secular reasons, but because of the breakdown of some ideas or beliefs. Just the night before his death, he called me once, and during the conversation, there was a mental breakdown. Signs. Too bad I didn't catch them in time." Ji Jun pricked up his ears: "What did he say?" "It's very strange, I know he is a complete atheist, but that day he suddenly said that he has confirmed the existence of God, but his resentment towards God can be seen from time to time in the conversation..." Lu Duan Jijun smiled wryly in his heart, the rooster professor deliberately played around with him today!Belief in God, resentment against God, would a person commit suicide for this reason?He tried not to interrupt, but Xiao Ding messed up the matter, he asked in a daze: "Mr. Gongji, you just said that men and women love each other, do you imply that the suicide of the deceased is related to the love between men and women?" At this moment, Professor Gong Ji's attitude changed suddenly. He stared at the two of them coldly without saying a word.Ji Jun noticed his change, and asked cautiously: "Professor, you just said that Sima Linda's dying phone call..." The professor waved his hand, and simply issued the order to evict the guest: "I'm sorry, I have something else to do, please go ahead, both of you." Ji Jun glared at Xiao Ding sullenly, and had no choice but to stand up.Police Officer Chen was very embarrassed—he was at least half the host, so he could let the guests leave in such a disgruntled manner?He coughed, trying to persuade his master, but Ji Jun stopped him with a wink.The old man was on fire now--though he didn't know where the fire came from--and it was useless to say wait until later.He still remained respectful and bid farewell to his master: "You have something to do, we will come back later. Mr. Gongji, let me delay you for another minute, you just talked about computer nesting - this is of course a very profound thing, we can't understand it , but please introduce as briefly as possible what is computer stones—there will never be stones growing in computers.” He said jokingly. This joke made the old professor very disgusted, and he said indifferently: "Let's talk about it later, later. Please." He added a comment mercilessly: "According to your level of knowledge, it is not appropriate to take over this case .goodbye." The three walked out of the professor's apartment, feeling a little embarrassed.Ji Jun said to Xiao Ding coldly: "Don't be too casual when questioning witnesses, you see, you ruined the matter with one sentence." Xiao Ding was not convinced, and muttered in a low voice: "Why did I ask the wrong question? If he didn't imply a relationship between men and women, why did he talk about love between men and women?" Ji Jun thought about what Xiao Ding said made sense, and said in a slow tone: "Anyway, pay more attention in the future. Officer Chen, this rooster professor is probably speaking bird language! What kind of genetic trap, collapse of ideas, belief in God, yes The wrath of God... is full of imaginary words. But he said one thing: Sima Linda talked with him on the phone before he died, please check whether what he said is true." Officer Chen made a phone call and found out after a few minutes that at twelve o'clock that night, there was indeed a call from Nanyang to Professor Gong Ji's home. The call lasted 24 minutes, but the content is unknown.It is certainly worth noting that a person made such a long phone call before dying.Officer Chen said: "How about this, I'll find Professor Gong Ji's family to do some work, and we'll go find him tomorrow. Let's go see Bai Zhang Qiaoqiao first, how about it?" "Okay, let's go to her first, that is also an important witness." There was no room for three people on the orthopter, so they left it at the Institute of Intelligence. Officer Chen drove an Audi, and the three of them drove towards Gongzhufen. Ji Ping Ruyi worked the night shift at the hospital for a week. After finishing the night shift on Sunday morning, she immediately called Jianming, and then notified the supermarket to deliver a few dishes of vegetables to her family, and hurried home.Her small apartment is beside the Baihe River in Nanyang City, which is the love nest shared by her and Jianming.The ingredients have been delivered, so she went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes first.Jianming said that he likes to eat "the dishes made by Ruyi himself", so no matter how busy she is, she will cook for Jianming herself.Then she went to take a hot bath to wash off the fatigue of the night shift, and waited for Jianming. Ruyi is petite, with big eyes and a baby face. Jianming often nicknames her an "exquisite porcelain doll".The physiognomist thought she was only sixteen years old, but in fact she was twenty-five years old, a well-known neurologist and brain surgeon.She and Jianming have been in love for five years and are about to get married soon. There was the sound of inserting and pulling out the magnetic card at the door lock, Jianming pushed the door in, and Ruyi immediately threw herself into his arms like a lark, kissing his cheek wildly.Jianming picked her up and walked around the room a few times.We haven't seen each other for a week, and both of them couldn't control their hearts. Ruyi leaned into his ear and said: "Do you want me first or eat first?" Jianming said: "Let's eat first, the best things should be left behind." Savor it slowly at the end, right?" Ruyi went to the kitchen and brought spicy shredded chicken, cashew nuts and shrimps, eight-treasure pickles, and fried eggplant sticks, all of which were Jianming's favorites.The two cuddled together for breakfast, Jianming ate happily, and kept praising: "It's delicious! It's delicious!" He turned his head and kissed her, as if it was a seal of approval for the decision.Ruyi looked at his eating appearance happily, she liked Jianming's character, cheerful and easy-going, humorous, and she was always beaming in everything she did.After eating, Jianming whispered: "I'm going to take a shower, wait for me on the bed." Ruyi packed up the dishes, took off her clothes, and waited on the bed.She felt the flames of desire running through her body, her nipples were hard, and there was a slight shudder deep in her muscles.She and Jianming have been living together for two years, and they are still as passionate as their first love.The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, naked Jian Ming walked over with a smile, lay down next to her, caressed her carefully and considerately as usual, stroking her shoulders, buttocks, breasts and every sensitive part.Ruyi hugged him tightly, their bodies stretched like a bow...then the bowstring relaxed. Ruyi lay in Jianming's arms, chatting happily.But she soon found that Jianming was in a mood of restlessness, always staring blankly into the distance.She flicked Jianming's chest with her fingers, and asked softly, "Do you have something on your mind?" Jianming didn't hide it from her: "Well, I suddenly remembered RB Yajun, today is the day she was destroyed." He stopped and said, "I sent her on this road." Ruyi also felt desolate when her lover told about RB Yajun's situation, but she tried to comfort her lover: "Don't blame yourself too much, you are just enforcing the law. Sometimes I think that the personnel of the B system of the police station are like 20 The family planning cadres in China in the century, what they did was the immoral thing of strangling little creatures, and they were hated everywhere; but in fact, what they did was the most correct, otherwise, Chinese society would have collapsed long ago, and India would not have Suffering from overpopulation? System B is the same, without your work, those B-type people mass-produced in factories would have already occupied the earth, and that would be too unfair to natural people." She asked: "I said Does it make sense? This is what my grandfather taught me." Jianming hugged her in his arms: "I know, I know the truth better than you. However, when I think of that RB Yajun, my heart still hurts—she and Qi Hongde just love each other so deeply!" Both of them were unhappy and stopped talking.There was nothing they could do about it.Jianming was silent for a long time, and said: "I want to visit RB Yajun." He laughed wryly at himself, "It should be the crocodile's tears, I want to see her off, to relieve a little bit of guilt." "Go, I will accompany you." Jianming kissed her gratefully, the two got dressed and drove to the gasification chamber of the armed police force. The appearance of the gasification chamber is very simple, a thick iron door, and a pair of red and green buttons on the wall.After the B-type person sentenced to be destroyed is sent to the gasification chamber, the executioner presses a button, and the B-type person will be completely gasified within five seconds and return to the atmosphere. The deceased will not suffer any pain.There are no dirges, elegiac couplets, and wreaths here, because this is just the destruction of an artifact rather than the death of a person. There is a prison cell next to the gasification chamber, and the destroyed people stay in it to wait for execution.The cell was very comfortable, with beautiful furniture, comfortable beds, and a well-crafted shower room.Any reasonable wish put forward by the destroyed will be satisfied, and mankind is willing to fully demonstrate its humanitarian spirit at this last moment. The partition wall of the prison room is the guard room. There is a huge mirror embedded in the wall. The mirror transmits light in one direction. The imprisoned people cannot see this side, but the guards can have a clear view of the prison room.The guard recognized Jianming and told him that Qi Hongde was just inside right now.Through the one-way mirror, I saw Qi Hongdegang and RB Yajun tightly hugging each other, without words, without crying, just hugging tightly, time stood still in their embrace.Ruyi grabbed Jianming's hand, and both of them felt bitterness in their hearts.It was nearly ten o'clock, and the prisoner was about to arrive. In the prison room over there, RB Yajun pushed De Gang away and said, "Come, let me freshen up." She was doing her makeup on the other side of the mirror. I don't know if she knew it was a one-way mirror, but her eyes seemed to look directly at Jianming across the mirror.Even though he knew that the other party couldn't see this side, Jianming still didn't dare to meet her gaze.Behind Yajun, Qi Hongde just wrapped his arms around her body, tears welling up silently.Yajun saw it in the mirror, climbed over Degang's head from his shoulders, and said softly: "De Gang, don't be sad, I don't regret it at all, if I had that night, it will be my life." She wiped away tears for De Gang. The prisoner of the court came, a middle-aged man wearing a special prisoner's costume with a red armband on his right arm.He was used to this kind of scene, he became numb, walked into the prison cell with a cold face, calmly verified RB Yajun's identity, and announced the court's verdict.Then two guards came in and wanted to take RB Yajun away.Yajun had been very calm before, but now, like a volcanic eruption, she suddenly threw herself at Degang, and frantically kissed his eyes, lips and cheeks, the kiss was thrilling.She took a step back, looked greedily at De Gang, and said sadly: "Farewell, Degang, I will never forget you." She turned to the guard and said, "Let's go." The iron door of the gasification chamber swung open.Jianming was very embarrassed, he didn't know whether he should show his face, but he finally gritted his teeth, walked out of the guard room, and silently handed the bouquet of white flowers he brought to RB Yajun. He hardly dared to look at him while handing the flowers.Yajun seemed to have put life and death aside, her face was very calm, and when she took the bouquet, she even burst into a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Inspector, and thank you for seeing me off." She took a last look at De Gang with nostalgia, and walked into the gasification chamber, the iron door was closed heavily.The executioner pressed the red button, and after five seconds of silence, the green light came on, indicating that the gasification had been completed.Ruyi snuggled up beside Jianming, the two of them clasped their arms, and they could feel the slight throbbing in each other's body.As natural persons, they conceptually accept the distinction between natural persons and type B persons, and also support laws that restrict type B persons—after all, natural persons are the original owners of earthlings, and type B persons are created by natural persons—but When these dry ideas collide with the death of a B-type person, they seem to lack confidence. After confirming that the prisoner had been vaporized, the prisoner left without greeting anyone, like a robot with precise procedures.During this period of time, Ruyi's gaze followed Yajun, this woman who was walking towards death so calmly, her demeanor was admirable, and she didn't notice Qi Hongdegang's gaze until she was vaporized.Qi Hongde has been staring fiercely at Jianming, his eyes are shining, like a lone wolf in a winter night.Ruyi couldn't help but shudder—how much hatred was condensed in his eyes!From this moment she knew: Jianming's life would be difficult to pass safely.De Gang came over, his voice hoarse, and he repeated his oath word by word: "Officer Yuhe Jianming, I will never forget your kindness to me, and I will spend the rest of my life to repay it." Jianming smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just doing my duty. I'm waiting for you." De Gang glanced at Ruyi with a smirk, got into the car, and his car drove away. Jianming and Ruyi drove away from here, it was almost noon, the sun was warm in early summer, and the wheat shoots in the fields had already turned yellow.They had planned a field trip, but the Sunday had been ruined.Yajun's death and Degang's hatred converged into a gray ghost, always entrenched above their heads.Ruyi said worriedly: "Jianming, you have to be careful, that Qi Hongde will never let you go. When I think of his gaze, I feel cold." Jianming smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I am very tolerant of him. He helped RB Yajun tamper with the identity of a B-type person, and he should be punished, but I disguised him as an 'uninformed person' in the statement." "Should I talk to him and resolve these misunderstandings?" Jianming couldn't help but laugh: "My pure hearted porcelain doll, can this kind of hatred be resolved with words? But, I will be careful, don't worry. Come on, forget about this matter, and play happily for a day." They put aside their troubles, played happily for a long time, and ate dinner in a small restaurant.At seven o'clock in the evening, the famous pianist Qian Mu Sanyuan gave a solo concert in Beijing. Ruyi liked his performance very much, so the two rushed home and turned on the virtual system.The pianist with long hair and shawl came onto the stage, first pressed his ten fingers on the fingerprint reader, verified the identity of the natural person, and began to play.This little episode made Ruyi lose interest all of a sudden, shut down the virtual system with a snap, and said dully: "Identification is required for a piano concert? It's a shame to burn the piano and cook the crane." Jianming explained: "It is still necessary to do this. You know that Type B people can develop sports talents, musical talents or mathematical talents in a targeted manner. If there are no restrictions, there will be no natural pianists in the future." He pointed out gently , "There has always been a fingerprint check before the performance." Ruyi is still depressed.Jianming knew that her displeasure at the concert was just an excuse. In fact, Yajun's death and Degang's hatred were still engraved in her heart.He went to the balcony with his arms around Ruyi, sat on the rocking chair, chatted about his lover's love, and finally drove away the cloud in Ruyi's heart.The two hugged happily and went back to bed. After some lingering, the two fell into a deep sleep.Suddenly the phone rang suddenly, it was Jianming's boss, Director Gao.The director said half apologetically and half jokingly: "Jianming, I'm very sorry for interrupting your good night. Another murder occurred on the KW2034 space ball, you go there immediately." "Yes, Director." "The police airship is not at home today, I'm afraid you have to take a flight." "No problem, there is a suitable shift this morning." "Apologize to Ruyi for me, the task is completed, and I promise to return this good night to her." Ruyi also woke up and was staring at him nervously.Jianming put down the phone and shrugged apologetically: "No way, urgent mission, another space murder." Ruyi didn't speak, "Ruyi, don't disappoint, I will be back soon." He noticed the abnormality in Ruyi's complexion, her face was pale, and there was a bit of confusion in her big eyes.Jianming walked over and hugged her shoulder: "What's the matter with you?" Ruyi came back to her senses, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, Director Gao just said the bloody case in space, somehow, I suddenly thought of Grandpa. I haven't talked to him for a long time." Ruyi's grandfather, Yoshino Omi, is seventy-nine years old, one of the first space immigrants, and has lived in space for thirty-four years.He is accompanied only by a Type B manservant, RB Keane.剑鸣在如仪额头上敲了一记：“不许胡思乱想，基恩是天底下最忠心的仆人，怎么会……”他到卫生间去洗刷，一边伸出头说：“不放心你可以打一个电话嘛。” 如仪真的把电话打到爷爷的KW0002号太空球上，铃声一遍又一遍地响着，没人接。如仪心中不祥的预感又加重了，爷爷和基恩一向睡得很晚，这会儿应该还没睡呢，即使在熟睡中，这铃声也该把他们聒醒呀。她向浴室喊：“剑鸣，剑鸣！为什么太空球里没人接电话？”浴室里水声哗哗，剑鸣没有听见，忽然屏幕亮了，RB基恩惊喜地说： “是如仪！如仪小姐！你有好长时间没同我们联系了！” 如仪曾在爷爷的太空球呆过五年，同基恩叔叔感情极佳。屏幕上，基恩的惊喜发自内心，如仪甚至为自己的不祥预感感到羞愧——即使所有太空球上都发生血案，基恩叔叔也不会成为凶手的。不过她仍然追问： “基恩叔叔，怎么这么晚才接电话？” “我刚刚服侍你爷爷进入强力睡眠，你知道，这时若中断操作，他又会通宵失眠。” “爷爷还在用强力睡眠机？”如仪问。她觉得自己这几年对爷爷关心太少。强力睡眠机曾经时髦过一阵子，现在地球上已基本淘汰了它，因为现今的时髦是“按上帝的节奏生活”。基恩解释道： “对，你知道，吉先生已七十九岁高龄，他要争取在有生之年完成一部巨著，他说，强力睡眠机每天可帮他抢回四个小时。” 他把可视电话的摄像镜头扭偏一点，可以看到爷爷正睡在强力睡眠机上，白发苍苍的头颅正对着这边。如仪放心了，同基恩扯了几句闲话，基恩埋怨道： “如仪，你已经十年没来太空球了！爷爷和我都很想你，抽空儿来住几天吧。” “好的，不过最好你和爷爷回地球上来度假，你们已经十五六年没回地球了。” 基恩的眼光中露出黯然的神色：“劝不动吉先生的，他已发誓不再离开太空球。” 如仪知道老人的孤僻脾气，也就不再劝了。她与基恩聊了几句，道了再见。这时剑鸣从卫生间出来，开始穿衣服：“没有问题吧，我说你不要胡思乱想嘛。我走了，再见。” 他利索地穿好警服，吻吻如仪的额头走了，房门在他身后轻轻带上。 如仪没了睡意，思绪尽往爷爷身上滑。爷爷吉野臣是著名的作家，如仪五岁时，母亲病亡，父亲再婚，爷爷把她接到身边抚养。她住在太空球上，太空球每天缓缓旋转着，把地球的秀丽，太空的壮美随时送进视野。在那儿，重力是由太空球的旋转造成并且指向球心的，所以看着爷爷或基恩与自己分别站在球的对侧，脑袋对着脑袋，那感觉真的新鲜无比。如果是为期一月的假期，如仪会把这段太空生活保存在绯色的记忆中。 但她并不是度假，而是长年生活。没有绿树红花，没有泥土和流水，没有同龄伙伴。如仪很快就厌倦了这座碳纤维的牢笼。她奇怪怎么有人（包括爷爷）会喜欢这样的囚笼，甘愿在其中生活一生！ 基恩叔叔十分宠她，尽一切可能让她快乐，但爷爷的性格让她受不了。爷爷那时已近六十岁，也许是长期与世隔绝，性情有点古怪。他当然喜爱孙女儿，但这种喜爱常包上一层冷漠的外衣；他也不是不喜欢基恩，这个忠心耿耿的男仆，但他常把喜爱罩上严厉的外壳。他对基恩的严厉常常是不合情理的，因而使如仪渐生反感。 十岁那年，如仪忽然下定决心要离开太空球，无论是爸爸的劝说，还是基恩的挽留都不能改变她的决定。最后，爸爸只好把她接回地球。她的反叛无疑使爷爷很恼火，从那以后，爷孙俩的关系相当冷淡。 但如仪始终把爷爷珍藏在心里。爷爷其实很爱她，在太空球里，当她格格大笑着和基恩疯闹时，爷爷常常坐在一边悄悄看着，看似漠然的目光中包含着欢欣。如仪现在已经是成人了，看到了当时看不到的东西。与世隔绝的太空球，两个寡言的男人，小丫头如仪曾是他们生活中惟一的活水，难怪爷爷对她的执意离去是那么恼怒了。 她想到了基恩的邀请，当即决定去太空球探望爷爷。她和剑鸣马上要结婚，正好去邀请爷爷参加婚礼。这些年她对爷爷太寡情了，她太年轻，不能理解老人的感情。今天，可能是因为目睹了一个女类人的死亡（销毁）吧，她觉得自己忽然成熟了，她要在感情上对爷爷作出补偿。这个念头一生出来就变得十分强烈，一刻也等不得。她立即和医院安排了今年的年休假，又打电话预订了太空艇，是后天的票，因为太空小巴士要等待合适的发射窗口。这些安排是否要告诉剑鸣呢，她想了想，决定不说。剑鸣正在执行公务，她不想干扰剑鸣的工作。 随后她安然入睡，刚才忽然生出的不祥预感早已消失得无影无踪。她没有想到，随后的几天会充满凶险。 去白张乔乔的寓所之前，陈警官先打了一个电话。这位乔乔不同意到家里去，于是把约会地点定在附近一家“星星草”咖啡馆。这是晚上六点，华灯初放。咖啡馆位于一座大厦的顶楼，不锈钢护栏围着落地长窗，窗外是明亮的楼房、五光十色的霓虹灯和安静的星空。咖啡馆里很静，一缕轻曼的乐曲似有若无。顾客们多是成对的男女，有头发雪白的老年夫妇，也有脖子上挂着玉坠的中学生。乔乔小姐走进咖啡馆时，满屋的男人都觉眼前一亮。北京是美女如云的地方，但乔乔在美女堆中也是比较出众的，她穿着一件淡紫色的风衣，风衣下是大胆暴露的小背心和超短裙。身体颀长，走路有名模的风度，而且不是那种中性化的模特，她的肌肉丰腴，胸脯和臀部把衣服绷得紧绷绷的，一头长发波浪起伏地洒在身后。右臂弯里还挎着一件衣服，是淡青色的风衣。在众人的目光中，她袅袅婷婷地走过来，坐到三位警官面前。 陈警官已对她调查过一次，今天让鲁段吉军和小丁当主角。在这么一位美女面前——她的美貌让人不敢逼视——鲁段吉军多少有些紧张。他在心中骂了自己一句，咽口唾沫，开始询问。不过随着问话，这位美女的光芒很快消退，吉军在心中鄙夷地断定：这绝对是个没心没肺的女人。司马林达尸骨未寒，她已经嬉笑自若，连一点悲伤的外表都不愿假装。正谈话间她的手机响了，她从风衣中掏出手机，喂了一声，立即眉飞色舞，那个“嗲”劲儿让吉军生出一身鸡皮疙瘩。当着三个人的面，她与一位不知名的男人嗲了十分钟，才关上手机。 乔乔非常坦率，爽快地承认自己与司马林达关系“已经很深”，她瞟了吉军一眼，意思是“你当然明白我这话的含意”。不过她说，她早就想和林达“拜拜”了，因为“那是个书呆子，没劲”。没错儿，他长得很英俊，社会地位高，家里也很有钱，但除此之外一无可取。他根本就不解风情，连在幽会中也常常走神。“完全没必要把林达的死同我连在一块儿嘛！我已对陈警官说过，那晚我一直和另一个男人在一起，我相信陈警官早去取过证啦。那个男人与我是一夜情人，他犯不着为我作伪证。”乔乔不耐烦地说。 听着她坦然的叙述，吉军忽然对那位死者产生了强烈的同情，如果真如小丁所说，司马林达是因失恋自杀的话，那他死得太不值得了！他冷冷地问： “你和其他男人的性关系……司马林达知道吗？” 乔乔嫣然一笑：“我并没有刻意掩饰，不过我想他不知道的。是谁说过这么一句话：爱情使男人变成瞎子。” “如果他知道了——他是否会为你自杀？” 这个问题分量比较重，连乔乔这样“没心没肺”的人也略微迟疑了一会儿，“他不会。”她思索后断然说，“我想他不会。他虽然对我很迷恋，但我清楚，其实他并没把我真正放在心上。和我做爱时他也会走神，不，他不是在想另一个女人，他想的是另一个世界的事情。” 幽会时林达常常走神，他的思维已经陷入光与电的隧道中，无法自拔。那是漫长、黑暗、狭窄的幽径，他相信隧道尽头是光与电织成的绚烂云霞，上帝就飘浮在云霞之中。那是大能的上帝，无肢无窍，无皮无毛，他的大智慧是人类无法理解的，即使伽利略、牛顿、爱因斯坦也不行。上帝在云霞中飘浮，在云霞中隐现，也许世人中，只有林达一人能稍稍窥见他的真容。 林达很迷恋她的女友，迷恋她高耸的乳胸，修长的四肢，浑圆的臀部和其它种种无法坦言的妙处。即使在追踪上帝时，他也无法舍弃这具肉体的魅力。他早已看透了生命的本质，看透了基因的陷阱，但他在享受乔乔的肉体时，仍心甘情愿地闭上眼睛。 如今他已经脱体飞升，融化在光与电的云霞中。他与上帝同在。当他从九天之上俯视这个叫乔乔的女人，这个浅薄漂亮的尤物，他的心中是否会激起一波涟漪？ “林达是个神经病！”乔乔恼怒地说，“他在我面前百依百顺，但他走神时，眼中根本没有我这个人。神经病，八成是自己寻死啦！” 小丁轻轻碰碰吉军，吉军知道他的意思。关于林达是死于“神经失常”的提法，这已经是第二次出现，在此之前，公姬教授也提到过林达可能死于“心理崩溃”。他说：“乔乔小姐，你的这点看法很重要，能不能做一些具体的说明呢。” 乔乔说，反正他常常发呆、发愣，即使正在干男女之事，他也会突然冒出几句不着边际的话。最近他常常把白蚁啦，黏菌啦，蜜蜂啦挂在嘴边，他的话老是莫名其妙。他常常谈蜜蜂的整体智力，说一只蜜蜂只不过有一根神经索串着几个神经节，几乎谈不上智力，但只要它们的种群达到“临界数量”…… 吉军打断她，问：“什么数量？他说什么数量？” 乔乔想了想，不太有把握地说：“他说的是临界数量，我大概不会记错吧。他说只要蜜蜂的种群达到临界数量，智力上就会来一个飞跃。它们能密切协同，建造人类也叹为观止的蜂巢。它们的六角形蜂巢是按节省材料的最佳角度建造的，符合数学的精确。”她说，“都是这种谈话，我没兴趣听，也听不懂。不过他说的次数多了，我也能记得几句。对了，近来他常到郊区看一个放蜂人……” 鲁段吉军的瞳孔陡然放大：放蜂人！案发现场那句神秘的留言上就含有这个字眼：放蜂人的谕旨：不要唤醒蜜蜂。所以，这位放蜂人肯定是本案的关键。小丁看来也想到了这点，作势要追问，吉军用目光止住了他，佯作无意地问： “怎么又出来个放蜂人？是司马先生的朋友吗？” “不知道，我真的不清楚，他几次都是骑摩托去的，当天返回，所以那人肯定在效区附近。他从没提过放蜂人的名字，但他从放蜂人那儿回来后，表情总是怪怪的，有时亢奋，有时忧郁，说一些不着边际的话，什么'智力层面'，'宇宙大道'等，把我烦死啦。”她皱着眉头说：“烦死我啦。我早就想和他分手，我可受不了这种神经兮兮的男人。”停停她补充：“我和他不是一路人。” 吉军不由对这位风流女人生出一丝同情，不过他仍未放松对放蜂人的追问，他看看陈警官，陈警官机敏地插话： “上次你没有对我说到放蜂人，请你再想想，还有什么有关放蜂人的情况。他在什么地方？是不是林达的亲戚？” 乔乔对这些一无所知，她不耐烦地说：“我知道的都说完了，该放我走了吧。希望你们以后不要再找我，我与司马林达已没什么关系了。” 吉军冷冷地问：“听说你的住宅是司马林达买的？” 乔乔对这个问题很反感：“对，没错。但他是为我买的，房产证上写着我的名字，你想让我把房产还给他吗？” 吉军缓和语气说：“不不，你安心住下吧，不会有人找你麻烦。我只希望乔乔小姐能配合警方的调查，尽快弄清林达的死因，使死者九泉之下可以瞑目。” 乔乔哼了一声，起身告辞。她已经走到咖啡店门口，吉军喊住他：“喂，乔乔小姐，你的风衣！” 乔乔噢了一声，不在意地说：“差点忘了，这是林达忘在我家的风衣，口袋里有放蜂人的照片，留给你们吧。” 她转身走了，吉军和小丁瞪着她的背影，不知道是该恼火还是该高兴。放蜂人的照片！多么重要的证据，她竟然几乎忘了向警方提供！他们急急忙忙掏出照片，有厚厚一沓，不过多是拍的蜂箱和蜂群。一群蜜蜂在天上飞舞，十几只蜜蜂在蜂箱的入口狭缝处爬动，蜂王在天空同雄蜂交配。只有一张是放蜂人的，偏偏那人正在取蜜，头上戴着防蜂蜇的面罩，所以面容很不清晰。三个人失望地在照片上寻找着，小丁眼尖，在蜂箱上发现了一行字迹，是红漆写的地址和名字：河南新郑石桥头，张树林。 三个人真正是喜出望外了。调查进行到这儿可以说是峰回路转，在开始见到屏幕上的留言时，虽然对它很重视，但在某种程度上，吉军只是把“放蜂人”作为一个隐喻而不是一个实体。但现在，在林达的生活圈子中真地出现一个放蜂人，一个有地址有照片的真人。那么，屏幕上这句神秘的留言必定含有深意了。 老刑侦人员常有这样的经历：看似容易查证的线索会突然中断，看似山穷水尽时却突然蹦出一条线索。不用说，下面就要去找到这个张树林。放蜂人是居无定所的，到哪儿去找他？老鲁说这不难，放蜂人总得要和家里通电话吧，先请河南新郑警察局查出石桥头张树林的家，再向家人打听他现在的放蜂地点。 三个人喜气洋洋，端着咖啡当酒杯碰，“这个女人！”吉军说。“煳涂娘们儿！”小丁也说。不过他们总的说很感谢这位没心没肺的乔乔。不管怎么说，是她提供了一条重要的线索。
