Chapter 2 Chapter One Bank Robbery

According to the current knowledge of human beings, not everything has a clear ins and outs, there are many things, do not know why they happen, do not know how to end, confused, inexplicable, unintelligible... Yet that's still a thing. The so-called inexplicable, incomprehensible, etc., are just that human beings do not understand this matter, and it is by no means that this matter does not exist or will not happen. You have to know this before you can accept or face what you don't understand.Otherwise, you will feel that such things are "impossible", and you cannot accept or face them. As a result, you will become an ostrich with your head buried in the sand, and you will never be able to make progress.

Although human beings are currently in a very backward state, as long as they can accept or face things they don't understand, and continue to explore and research, they will continue to make progress, and one day they will progress to become advanced creatures in the universe. If we simply refuse to accept or face things that cannot be understood by the current level of knowledge, of course there will be no progress, and human beings will have to be the "spirits of all things" on the earth, but in fact they are only single-celled organisms in the universe. Everyone will say the phrase "inexplicable".This sentence is very interesting. The original meaning should be that there is unspeakable suffering for "Miao", and it definitely does not mean that "Miao" does not exist.

It is also very interesting to check the authoritative dictionary. The explanation of this sentence is also very interesting. It says: "It is said that there is no word for its wonderful name, and it is often used today to refer to those whose words and deeds are absurd." It is a very simple explanation, but it has made a very thorough description of human beings' psychological state and behavior for things that they have no words to describe. Alright, post some comments, it's time to start telling the story. As for how to start telling this story, I have considered again and again, should it be told in a straightforward manner, or should it be out of the ordinary?

Since the matter was too ordinary to be worth mentioning at the beginning, it was even more inappropriate to use ordinary methods to describe it, and finally decided to exaggerate slightly. But it is really because there is nothing special about the matter, so no matter how exaggerated it is, it will not go far. It is not shocking, so please forgive me. It is a very common part of human behavior and occurs almost every day. At the same time, there are tens of thousands of behaviors of the same nature. Although the forms are varied, the nature is the same. I choose one of the more representative ones to describe it as the beginning of the story, and describe it in detail as much as possible. process, because this matter is very relevant to the whole story.

It happened at a certain time, somewhere on earth, in a very small bank. Three men wearing masks used during the "Halloween Festival" suddenly broke open the glass door of the bank and rushed in. Three masked people are holding firearms, two of them are holding short guns, and one is holding a portable machine gun. They move quickly and skillfully. After rushing in, the first action is to shoot. The machine gun They fired at the ceiling, while the two short guns fired indiscriminately. In the limited space of the bank, the vibration of the gunshots was particularly shocking, so the people who were in the bank had a very short time and didn't know how to react at all, but froze to the gunshots without any movement at all.

And then, the three robbers yelled together: "Don't move! Rob!" There were seven people in the bank—four bank employees, including a manager, two clerks, and a guard, and three customers, an old lady, a young woman, and her six-year-old son. After the robber yelled "Don't move," the bank staff probably cooperated with the robber's order because they had received training on what to do in the event of a robbery. The manager and staff immediately raised their hands up. The old woman blinked and shook her head slowly.The child wanted to cry, but the young woman pulled him over and covered his mouth with her hand. The young woman herself was obviously extremely scared, but she still warned the child in a trembling voice: "Don't cry! Don't make a sound! "

In this extraordinary moment, she showed the extraordinary bravery of a mother. And another person who showed great bravery was the guard. The guard was originally sitting in a corner with a shotgun commonly used by guards by his side. After the robber shouted, he not only did not listen, but immediately reached for the shotgun. Even based on the most common sense, one could know that the guard had no chance of resisting at this time, but the guard did it anyway. At this time, two robbers with short guns had jumped over the counter. When the guard reached for his gun, the robber with a machine gun had already pointed his gun at the guard.Obviously their actions were planned in advance.

So when the guard went to get the gun and wanted to make a hopeless resistance, the robber with the machine gun couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, his finger on the trigger immediately exerted force.At that time, the guard's hand had just touched the shotgun, and it was too late to grab the gun in his hand.He saw the bandit's movements, and at the same time he was exposed to the bandit's fierce and cruel eyes. He knew that the bandit would shoot and kill him without hesitation, so he naturally closed his eyes. Before his eyes were completely closed, he had already heard the sound of machine guns firing. To him, the sound of the gunshots was particularly shocking, as if every cell in his body felt the vibration.

Everyone knows that the stories I narrate, no matter whether they start out strange or ordinary, will have a relationship with me later, otherwise I would not be able to narrate them. This story is certainly no exception. Of course I wasn't there when the incident happened. Why I was involved in this incident can only be understood after starting from the beginning. It should start with the contact between Zhang Taifeng and me.After this story, Zhang Taifeng and I, as well as Dian Xiwei who became Zhang Taifeng’s girlfriend, met many times to discuss issues related to this story that have not been further understood.

The process of these discussions is very important to supplement this story, and it is also considered interesting, so when appropriate, I will record the process.But let's start with a new story. After several gatherings, there was no contact for about half a year, and then Zhang Taifeng called me. As soon as I heard his voice, I said, "Are you back?" Zhang Taifeng replied: "Not yet." This question and answer sounded a bit out of the blue, but it was actually very simple, because there was news about his whereabouts in the newspaper—an international police work conference was recently held in London, and Zhang Taifeng was the local representative.

There were a lot of participants in this conference, and the topics discussed were extremely extensive. Zhang Taifeng gave a special speech on criminal psychology at the conference, which attracted a lot of attention, and he was very prominent at the conference, so there were often news about him in the newspapers. He hasn't come back yet, so he should still be in London, which means that his call will not be an ordinary greeting, but must have a purpose. I waited for him to speak, and he hesitated for a few seconds: "You know I'm in a conference, there are police officers from all over the world..." I interrupted him: "If you have something to say, please speak up!" After all, Zhang Taifeng has been with me for a long time, and he understands my temper very well, so he immediately stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to the point: "There is a police officer from Panama who has a very strange thing. I want to tell you and listen to your opinion." I asked back, "You think I'm worth listening to?" Zhang Taifeng immediately said: "It's worth it! It's worth it! I think it's worth it!" Zhang Taifeng answered so earnestly that I agreed: "Okay, I'll give him ten minutes to tell me what happened." Zhang Taifeng had a helpless wry laugh: "If you promise to listen to his narrative, I will bring him to see you after the meeting - this matter, not only can't be explained clearly on the phone, but ten minutes is far from enough! " I asked, "What is the nature of the matter?" Zhang Taifeng took a breath: "It cannot be classified, nor can it be briefly described." When he said this, he only gave me the choice of rejecting or accepting. I seriously considered it for nearly half a minute—if I had never considered it before, I would have asked him to bring that Panamanian police officer to tell me weird things. .But after having had so many strange experiences, I often feel that there will be no new strange things, so I am no longer particularly interested in someone saying to me: "I have something strange to tell you." Is why I think about it. At that time, I thought that since Zhang Taifeng tried his best to insist that I listen to this matter, there must always be some reasons, and I was very confident in Zhang Taifeng's judgment, so the result of my consideration was that I agreed to his request, so it was only a few days later that I met with him. his meeting. Sure enough, he brought a Panamanian police officer—I had imagined the appearance of the police officer he mentioned in advance, thinking that since he would persevere in pursuing a strange matter, he must be very shrewd, but when I saw the police officer with When I was with the person behind Zhang Taifeng, I had to work very hard not to show impolite surprise. The person Zhang Taifeng brought was a fat man with a weight of at least 150 kilograms. Fortunately, he was also tall enough, about two meters in height. It's not that I haven't seen a big man, Cao Jinfu is even greater than the big fat man in front of me, and Mama Wen and He Yanrong are also heavyweights, but they are not as scary as this big fat man--that big fat man The fat on Fatty's body didn't seem to grow on his body, but just hung on it casually, and it seemed to have more to do with his clothes than with his body. The fat on his face was even more terrifying. When he staggered around, he would swing from side to side like two sacks of flour.In addition, he was wearing a straw hat, and his appearance looked really weird and inexplicable. If Zhang Taifeng hadn't explained in advance, and now he introduced that it was an alien from the constellation Sirius, I would believe it without hesitation. I was the only one in the house at the time, so his appearance did not cause any commotion. If Hong Ling had been there, she would not have concealed her surprise at the strange appearance of the big fat man, but would have yelled—but It can be avoided for a while, but it cannot be avoided for a lifetime. When Zhang Taifeng, Zhang Taifeng, and the fat man were talking, when Hong Ling came back and saw the fat man, there was still a little confusion. But Zhang Taifeng came in with the big fat man and introduced to me: "This is the Panamanian police officer who handles special incidents. He has similar duties to me and the former Director Huang Tang—" The big fat man seems to be very impatient, and it is very different from ordinary people who move slowly when they are fat. Before Zhang Taifeng finished speaking, he rushed to say: "Fernando, my name is Fernando, I am very happy to meet you , Mr. Wesley." It should be noted that when he announced his name, he also had a surname with at least eight syllables. Of course, for the convenience of narration, there is no need to mention it.And Fernando is a very common Spanish name.When he was talking, he had already stretched out his hands together, wanting to shake hands with me in a very enthusiastic way. His hands are not very big—compared with his whole body, they are even small, but they are so fat that they look like a big meat ball with five small meat balls on top. I was talking to him When shaking hands, I really doubt whether such hands can do the work that human hands can do. Although Fernando's appearance surprised me, he won my favor. After I asked him to sit down, I took out a bottle of wine. When he saw the wine, he cheered like a child and waved his arms. expressed sincere liking.It can be seen from this that he is a very straightforward person, and it is quite a pleasure to deal with such a refreshing person who does not hide his emotions. After three bottles of wine (not more than three minutes), since I knew his purpose, I stopped being polite and asked straight to the point: "How did you go about the strange thing you called?" The fat man, Fernando, seemed to be more impatient than I was. Before he could take a sip of the wine, he mumbled: "There are three robbers robbing the bank—" He said something before he swallowed the drink, and then made a gesture to me, indicating that I should not be impatient, listen to him speak slowly, and at the same time gesture to Zhang Taifeng, Zhang Taifeng took out the bottle from his suitcase. A box of videos came along and gave me a nod. I knew what he meant, but I still asked: "Does he need a video tape to accompany his narration?" Zhang Taifeng nodded, walked to the side, put the video tape into the VCR, and started playing. So readers must understand that while I was listening to Fernando's narration of the bank robbery case, I had pictures to watch. Although the closed-circuit television footage of this kind of bank device is usually blurry and jumpy, it is always possible to learn more about the situation at the time. When Fernando said that the guard felt that the gangster who pointed a machine gun at him would shoot at him without hesitation, what he saw on the screen was the side profile of the gangster. Judging from his standing and holding the gun, I also There is no doubt that he will shoot, because his body language strongly shows his ferocity, there is no doubt that this is a murderous gangster. Seeing this, if Hongya is by the side, even though I know that Hongya does not belong to "young hearts", I will still cover her sight, not wanting her to see the naked massacre. In order to cooperate with Fernando's narration, Zhang Taifeng kept pressing the video recorder to stop. At this time, the screen stopped at the moment before the gangster with the machine gun was about to shoot, while the other two gangsters, one jumped over the counter, and the muzzle of the gun was on the counter. On the manager's forehead, the other stood on the counter, condescending, watching the three customers with a gun. When Fernando said this, he also paused for a moment. I was very surprised, because it seemed that this was a completely ordinary bank robbery, and there could not be any earth-shattering accidents.I wouldn't be surprised if the three gangsters dehumanized and shot everyone. Because Panama is not a place with good law and order, I believe that all crimes that humans can commit often occur in this small country with a population of only 1.8 million.Bank robberies like this are so commonplace that they are not worth mentioning. But I also knew that if it was an ordinary case, Fernando would never come all the way to find me - considering his obesity level, traveling would definitely be a torture. I also imagined from the beginning what kind of unexpected changes the case would have, but up to that time, I hadn't been able to imagine it. So when Fernando and Zhang Taifeng looked at me together, I shook my head, expressing that I didn't know what was going on. Fernando didn't know whether he drank too much wine or it was difficult for him to speak, and his face was covered with sweat. He wiped the sweat with his hands and then threw it out with his hands, which was really informal. I was about to urge them to continue talking, when the door opened, Hong Ling walked in, followed by Bai Su.Hong Ling saw Fernando at a glance, she was stunned for a while, then she screamed and strode forward, she came to Fernando, and then her movements were really unexpected, she even threw out her hands , grabbed the two big lumps of fat hanging from the cheeks of the big fat man, and then pulled it out. While pulling, he laughed and asked, "Real or fake? Real or fake?" Fernando was bewildered by the sudden attack, and roared as he tried his best to block Hong Ling's hand, but he couldn't succeed, so his body weighing more than 150 kilograms twisted sharply, Not only knocked over the coffee table, but also brought over the sofa-I mentioned the "little mess" earlier, referring to this situation. When Bai Su and I saw this situation, we stopped shouting, and then Hong Ling reluctantly let go of her hand. She especially likes fat people. When she first met Mama Wen, she also regarded Mama Wen as a blow dummy , picked up Mama Wen and twirled it around, hardly scaring Mama Wen to death on the spot! At that time, Fernando was also quite surprised, Zhang Taifeng lifted up the sofa, and Fernando sat down panting, looking at Hong Ling all the time. Bai Su and I apologized in unison: "I'm really sorry, this is our daughter Hong Ling. Hong Ling, hurry up and say sorry to Officer Fernando!" Hong Ling grinned: "I'm sorry - are you real or fake?" She actually asked very seriously, Bai Su and I couldn't laugh or cry, we didn't know how to stop it for a while. Fernando took a breath, and said repeatedly: "It's true, it's all true, you just hurt me so much." Only then did Hong Ling say sincerely: "I'm sorry!" Hong Ling said she was sorry, but she couldn't see any expression on Fernando's fat face.I thought in my heart: the stinky fat man is abominable, such a big air - he didn't even mean to accept an apology at all. It was only later that I realized that the big fat man Fernando was not only not hateful, but also very cute.Zhang Taifeng did not introduce Fernando's real identity to me. It turns out that Fernando has a very high status in the Panamanian police, ranking third, and has great power. It's very rare to not lose your temper.And even though he didn't express anything at that time, he immediately smiled and hugged Hong Ling again and again to express his affection. Of course, there was a reason for Fernando's sudden change in attitude. It turned out that Hong Ling also felt that the other party was unhappy, so she immediately ran upstairs, took a bottle of wine, and jumped down.The wine was swaying in the bamboo tube, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing - this is a good wine from Miaojiang, which Lansi brought to Hong Ling last month. When Hong Ling came in, she had obviously noticed several empty wine bottles, and knew that the big fat man was a drinker, and she also knew that anyone who likes to drink will absolutely be unable to resist this kind of good wine from Miaojiang. lure. Sure enough, before Hong Ling jumped down, Fernando took a sharp breath, stood up abruptly, his eyes widened, fixed on the bamboo tube in Hong Ling's hand. Hong Ling came in front of Fernando, opened the bamboo tube, and immediately filled the room with a strong fragrance. Fernando obviously lost control, and in spite of etiquette, he reached out and grabbed it. In that instant, he became like a god, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and began to hug Hong Ling. Although Hong Ling's arms were long, she couldn't fully embrace the fat man. She patted Fernando's back and said, "Drink slowly, this wine has a lot of stamina." It wasn't until this time that Fernando swallowed the wine completely, and a strange sound came out of his throat, and then he suddenly called out in Spanish: "Great! I dare say this is the best wine in the world." Good wine!" Hong Ling replied seriously: "It should be the second best wine in the world." Fernando looked at Hong Ling, Hong Ling smiled: "If there is a chance, I will find the best wine for you to drink." Fernando was overjoyed and hugged Hong Ling again. Seeing this situation, Bai Su and I could only laugh in shock.Although I was eager to know what kind of weird thing that ordinary bank robbery would turn into, I was embarrassed to urge Fernando to go on at this moment. It wasn't until Fernando drank three sips of wine, sat down again, and hugged the bamboo tube tightly in his arms, that I said, "We should continue." At this time, Hong Ling said something more, she said: "What's so weird? Why don't we start from the beginning, my mother and I came late, so we didn't hear it." After Zhang Taifeng called from London a few days ago, I mentioned it to them, so Hong Ling knew that Zhang Taifeng had something weird to tell us. I just wanted to object, but Fernando said: "Excellent! From the beginning, let's see if Mrs. Wei and Ms. Wei can guess how things will turn out - if they can guess in advance, it will be helpful to explain why It’s helpful to have that happen.” At this time, I was so impressed by the big fat man's capacity for drinking - not to mention the three big bottles of strong wine before, even the three mouthfuls of Miaojiang's good wine just now would have drunk many people.But Fernando, as if nothing had happened, was able to speak in such an orderly manner, which is really surprising. I hadn't been able to guess how things would evolve just now, and Fernando's words were quite challenging at this time, so I naturally couldn't object any more. So let's start from the beginning, Zhang Taifeng still played the video tape to match Fernando's narration. I also listened carefully from the beginning - I didn't listen carefully just now, and I may have overlooked important points. However, when Fernando stopped talking, I still had no idea.Fernando and Zhang Taifeng looked at us, and I also looked at Hong Ling and Bai Su. Hong Ling also listened attentively, and she suddenly asked, "Does the guard have any family members?" Others may not understand why she asked such a question, but Bai Su and I never understood.She heard Fernando's narration to this point, and she also thought that in the next second, the bandits must have shot and the guards were killed.She immediately thought of the guard's death, and of course his family was the most saddened. She felt that the matter was extremely unfair and cruel, and she sympathized with the guard's family, so she asked this question naturally. Fernando glanced at her: "The guard has a wife who has been married for ten years, and a daughter who is as lovely as you." When Fernando said this, he obviously wanted to make the atmosphere more relaxed, but it didn't work. Red Ridge stomped his feet heavily, with an angry and helpless expression on his face, and his voice was very heavy: "It's so hateful! Why do some people behave like this?" So bad, that you can completely disregard the pain of others and do whatever you want?" Hong Ling looked at me and Bai Su and asked such a question. As her parents, of course I had the responsibility to answer, but we didn't know how to answer. Not only can we not answer this question with certainty, but I am afraid that there is no answer in the world at all.Human beings have not yet understood why everyone is human, and some of them have behaviors that hurt others. If it is said that the behavior of hurting others is the nature of human beings, then human beings are inherently terrifying creatures, then the answer is that hurting others is fundamentally a natural behavior of human beings, and there is no "why". However, not everyone has the behavior of hurting others—maybe everyone has had small, small behaviors of hurting others in their lives, but of course not everyone will kill and set fire. Everyone will have a very slight degree of harm to others, which can prove the saying that "human nature is inherently evil", but there is absolutely no evidence to prove that slight harm to others will accumulate or develop into a major crime of murder and arson. So Hong Ling's question, although extremely important to the entire human race, has never had a definite answer in history.Moreover, human beings have always been very passive in dealing with the despicable behavior of "hurting others" (using laws to deal with it), and there is no way to prevent it in advance, because human beings have never really sought out why people There will be behaviors that hurt others, and of course it cannot be completely prevented. As a result, all kinds of crimes that hurt others have been happening, and they are becoming more and more serious, with more and more tricks, and more and more cruel and despicable methods, which shows the extreme ugliness of human nature.Obviously, the method of punishment after the fact that human beings have been adopting is totally ineffective. But human beings don't seem to want to change this terrible situation. Practical science can be developed to the point of sending spaceships to Mars, but there are no scientists to study why people have such despicable behaviors that hurt others. At that time, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was very heavy. Zhang Taifeng broke the silence first, and said angrily: "Those who commit crimes are not human at all!" He works as a police officer in a big city and has direct contact with various criminals. Of course, he can feel how ugly people can be when they hurt others, so he is particularly indignant when he says it. Fernando smiled wryly, and murmured: "Don't flatter 'people' too much!" Zhang Taifeng obviously disagreed with Fernando's statement and gave him a look, but he didn't know how to refute. At this time, I felt very strange, because looking at the situation between Zhang Taifeng and Fernando, it was by no means "meeting friends over wine", but rather "talking without speculation". It was strange that there were hundreds of participants in the London meeting, and they How did you get in touch?I won't be self-inflated and think that Fernando in Panama knew that there was Wesley, so he went to Zhang Taifeng. It didn't take long for this question to be resolved. Sure enough, there was a reason for the incident, which will be explained below. At that time, Hong Ling looked sad and sighed repeatedly.
