Bai Su and I could only smile wryly, unable to think of anything to comfort her.Fernando said: "The little girl is lucky—" Before he could finish his sentence, Hong Ling had already made a sound of protest, protesting that Fernando had no sympathy for the little girl who lost her father.My heart moved, and I felt that Fernando must have his reasons for saying this.It should be that the guard was not killed by the robbers, otherwise Fernando would not be so cold-blooded, saying that the guard's daughter was "lucky". But even though I thought about it, I still couldn't imagine that the guard could survive the fire of the machine gun.Unless the robber suddenly gave up the idea of ​​killing people, but no matter from which point of view, the robber would not have such a change.

I looked at Bai Su, and Bai Su shook her head. It seemed that she, like me, didn't know how things would turn out. Red Ling said loudly: "We can't predict how things will evolve, so hurry up and talk about it." At this moment, Bai Su was still in the mood to remind Hong Ling: "You should say 'please', this is due courtesy." Hong Ling took a deep breath and said, "Please - hurry up and talk!" Fernando and Zhang Taifeng also took a breath at the same time. Their situation made me know that things would develop extremely unexpectedly.But no matter how I imagined it at the time, I couldn't imagine that things would have such a change.

After taking a deep breath, Fernando shook his head and said, "I don't know what to say. Fortunately, there is a video tape. You can watch it." Zhang Taifeng added to Fernando's words: "If there is no video tape to watch, no one will believe what happened next!" As he spoke, the tape had already started playing.We fixed our eyes on the screen, not daring to blink. We first saw the gangster with a machine gun, and raised his left shoulder slightly—that was about to fire the trigger immediately! From this natural tiny movement, it can also be seen that this gangster is very proficient in using this high-performance murder weapon. He knows that there will be quite a strong backlash when firing, so he has made defensive preparations first.

It is impossible for the guard to have any life! But what happened next, not to mention what people said, people who listened would not believe it. Like me at the time, seeing it clearly on the screen, I could hardly believe my eyes! I saw that while the gangster was slightly raising his left shoulder, the machine gun was also raised a little bit, and his fingers were already buckled down. But at that moment, the gangster's right hand holding the gun suddenly had a very strange movement, and it was in a kind of At an angle that seemed impossible, he bent over and turned the muzzle aimed at his own chest.

This situation is already extremely weird, and what is even more absolutely unbelievable is that while bending his arm, he pulled the trigger finger, continued the original action, and pulled the trigger!As a result, after a burst of thrilling gunshots, blood splashed from the gangster's body in all directions, and the gangster's body flew back about two meters, and fell heavily on the ground, right next to the old woman's body. The feet barely hit her. All this happened in less than a second, even Bai Su, who was originally sitting, couldn't help standing up abruptly when he saw such a scene.Bai Su has the calmness of "Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face", and he will also have such a reaction. From this we can see how the situation we saw shocked us and exceeded our expectations .

Of course, Hong Ling and I reacted more intensely than Bai Su. We jumped straight up, but Hong Ling jumped higher than me. After she jumped up, she reached out and grabbed the chandelier on the ceiling, shaking it twice , just let go and fell down. Zhang Taifeng seemed to expect that we would have an unusual reaction after seeing this change, so he immediately stopped playing the video tape.The picture on the screen was that the gangster fell to the ground, still holding the machine gun in his right hand. I took two breaths: "Replay! Slow motion!" At this time, I was too frightened, so my words were a little unconventional. I meant to ask Zhang Taifeng to replay the video tape at a slow speed.

Zhang Taifeng understood what I meant, but he asked back: "Do you want the slow-motion playback of ordinary normal situations, or the special slow-motion effect processed by the computer?" As soon as I heard Zhang Taifeng say this, I immediately asked sensitively: "What do you mean? The video tape was made out of a computer?" Because the situation we have seen is really impossible to happen in reality, so when Zhang Taifeng mentioned the computer, I asked this question. If it is made by computer, it is not surprising, there can be any unimaginable changes, and Fernando and Zhang Taifeng used computer-made video tapes to tease us, which is close to insulting, so the tone of my question is quite severe.

Zhang Taifeng immediately raised his hands up: "You have misunderstood! The video tape is absolutely true to the real situation at that time. Because the situation is too incredible, it is necessary to play it in slow motion to see clearly, and the normal slow motion playback is not clear enough, so I just played it in slow motion. Through computer processing, the slow motion is made slower, and what happened in this 0.87 seconds can be lengthened by a hundred times, and then this processed section is recorded and connected to it for easy viewing. " I nodded: "Look at the ordinary slow motion first, and then look at the computer-processed one."

Zhang Taifeng was about to start playing, but Bai Su raised his hand: "Wait a minute! Where and by whom did you explain the situation just now?" Bai Su's further questioning shows that she still can't accept that what she sees is a fact. Zhang Taifeng pointed to Fernando, and Fernando raised his hand: "I, it was conducted by a group led by me. Since the matter was too unacceptable, I had to thoroughly see the situation at that time, so I did it." decided to do so." Bai Su nodded, satisfied with Fernando's answer. So Zhang Taifeng replayed the video tape in ordinary slow motion, which was about three times slower.

In such a situation, see the process more clearly.However, compared to the slow motion processed by the computer, the latter is more revealing of what happened. It turns out that if the movement is slowed down a hundred times, it will become a frame-by-frame jump, and there is no connection between the movement and the movement. After the computer processing, this phenomenon does not exist, and the gangster can be clearly seen , all the body language showed that when he was about to shoot the guard, he suddenly bent his arm, pointed the gun at himself, and fired the bullet. Fernando explained on the side, saying that this kind of portable machine gun can shoot sixteen bullets once the trigger is pulled, so in an instant, all the bullets fired were shot into the gangster's chest cavity, and then he took another bullet with him. Stream after stream of blood flowed out through the body.When the scene of splashing around is played in slow motion, it seems to have a kind of palpitating weirdness.

So when I saw this situation for the first time, I couldn't observe it deeply because it was too thrilling. Zhang Taifeng played it for the second time, and Fernando reminded us: "Please pay attention to the expression of the gangster when he fell to the ground." I noticed just now that when the gangster fell to the ground, his mask flew off, and his face could be seen for a moment. Although it was blurry, his facial features could be distinguished.Zhang Taifeng stopped frame on this shot, so we can see it more clearly. At this time, the gangster's entire chest was almost pierced by the bullet fired at close range. It is believed that he lost his life within three seconds. The expression we saw on him can certainly show what he was thinking before he died. . What we saw was that what the gangster showed on his face at this time was not the pain or fear before death. In comparison, what the guard with his eyes closed tightly showed the extreme pain and fear of facing death. sad.The gangster's expression was not as calm as when he was determined to commit suicide, although his behavior was 100% suicide. The gangster's expression was obviously surprised—extremely surprised! This surprised expression can only be revealed naturally when a person is faced with something completely unexpected in advance. We stared at the freeze frame for at least a minute, speechless. Fernando asked the question first: "What does this person's expression indicate?" Hong Ling replied immediately: "Surprised! He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at all—just like we didn't expect it at all beforehand." Fernando also immediately asked again: "You mean, he shot himself, not on his own will, he never thought of doing this, he only wanted to shoot the guards, so when the bullet passed through His body, he will be so surprised?" Hong Ling nodded, and Bai Su and I also nodded. But we couldn't answer Fernando's next question. Fernando's question was actually very simple. He asked, "The gangster didn't want to shoot himself at all. Why did he do that?" We cannot answer this question. After thinking for a while, I said, "Maybe we can't judge his thoughts based on his expression, or maybe he was surprised because he felt that the feeling of bullets passing through his body was different from what he had imagined." After hearing this, Fernando showed obvious disappointment.I also know that my answer is unsatisfactory, but at that time, I couldn't make a better idea. I looked at Bai Su, she frowned and said nothing, obviously thinking. Hong Ling agreed with me loudly, and added: "When this person has this expression, he may already be dead. The expression looks like surprise, which is completely a coincidence of muscle twitching. What are you thinking?" Fernando took a breath and asked, "However, why does a vicious gangster suddenly kill himself instead of killing people?" We can't even answer this question, or even have no idea at all. By this time, of course, I felt that things were really weird, and at the same time, I admired Fernando's spirit of pursuing weird phenomena-generally speaking, in places like Panama, the attitude of working is always passing by, and he is willing to spend energy to do in-depth research. There are not many studies. And like this bank robbery case, since the robber himself killed himself, the case is tantamount to being closed, but Fernando actually brought the question to London, and even found me. This kind of perseverance, Very rare. Hong Ling learned a simple way of doing things from Wen Baoyu, and she used this method to deal with Fei Nandu's problem at this time.She said: "Since the robber is dead, why bother to study his mentality?" Fernando smiled. He obviously took her words as children's words and didn't pay any attention to them. He continued to add: "Afterwards, it was found out that this robber was one of the ten most wanted criminals in our country. At least two people were involved. More than ten cases of robbery and murder have claimed that he is extremely vicious, because human language is poor, and it is impossible to create another step to describe this kind of scum that has lost humanity and is inferior to animals. When such a scum suddenly kills, it turns to kill Dead myself, I think there must be a reason we don't know..." When he said this, he showed a very puzzled expression, and continued: "I'm not sure, but I always feel that this reason we don't know may have a great relationship with us...I mean...and human beings .” Although he kept drinking while talking, he spoke very seriously.At this time, my mind was in a mess, and I was just making various assumptions about this weird phenomenon, so I didn't know what he meant by saying that for a while, and of course I didn't respond. Hong Ling and Bai Su didn't make a sound either, and Fernando waited for a while, his expression even more disappointed, I asked, "When did this happen?" Unexpectedly, my question drew a long sigh from Fernando, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with me.At this time, Bai Su gently pushed me and pointed to the screen. I looked at the screen and couldn't help but smile bitterly, because in the lower right corner of the screen, there are numbers indicating the time of recording, between year, month, and day. In addition, there are hours, minutes and seconds, which was a month ago. But I didn't pay attention all the time, and I still asked questions. It's conceivable that his observation skills are poor. No wonder Fernando sighed. I don't know how many times he has scolded me for being "in vain" in his fat belly. . I murmured "I'm sorry" and explained: "I was concentrating on thinking about all kinds of possibilities, so I ignored it—since it has happened for a month, what do you think?" The fat man sighed again and rolled his eyes at me. Although he didn't speak, I seemed to hear his voice saying: If I have a vision, will I still come to you? Although his attitude is a bit hateful, there is nothing I can do about it. At this time, Bai Su suddenly said: "Please continue to narrate - the matter does not end here, there is still development, right?" I was just wondering why Bai Su asked this question, that gangster suddenly killed himself, it was already extremely weird, could there be something even weirder happening? However, before I opened my mouth, I saw Fernando's chubby face showing a look of admiration. I knew that Bai Su's question was reasonable, so I stopped talking.After all, Hong Ling was much less scheming than an adult, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Could there be more weird things happening?" Fernando smiled wryly: "It can't be said to be more weird, but it can show that things are definitely not accidental events that happened to one person." After he said this, he paused for a moment before making a gesture to Zhang Taifeng and saying to us: "Please pay attention to the other two bandits." When we played the video just now, we were all focused on the behavior of the gangster with the machine gun, and did not pay attention to the actions of the other two gangsters. At this time, Nandu reminded Zhang Taifeng to pay special attention when he started playing the video again. Fernando continued: "I don't need to describe what happened next. I can fully understand it from the video tape." I took a breath, and looked at the screen together with Bai Su and Hong Ling.When the gangster with the machine gun fell to the ground in the blood, the other two gangsters jumped into the counter and put the gun on the manager's head. It was obvious that he was threatening the manager and asking the manager to obey him. Command, and one stands condescendingly on the counter, controlling the overall situation. When the gangster with the machine gun fell to the ground, the two gangsters looked at the fallen gangster. Since the playback was played in slow motion a hundred times slower, the process of the two gangsters turning their heads and looking over could not be seen more clearly. When the two gangsters turned their heads, they happened to be facing the camera, so although they were both wearing masks, their intentions could be seen from their eyes. When the two of them first turned their heads, they obviously didn't know what happened, but because they heard the gunshots, they turned their heads naturally to take a look. And when they saw the situation where the party members fell to the ground in a large cloud of blood, the expressions in their eyes were both fear and surprise. At this moment, the manager saw the gangster turning his head. Although the muzzle of the gun was still on his forehead, it was always a good opportunity to resist, so he shrank back and stretched out his hand to push the gangster away. However, he was only halfway through the action. The gangster was already alert and turned around immediately. The manager leaned to one side, as if trying to hide behind a table, and at the same time he stretched out his hand, as if trying to ring the alarm. , the gangster immediately raised his gun at him. Although I couldn't see the movements of the gangster's hands, I felt without a doubt that the gangster would shoot at the resisting manager!Because after he saw the inexplicable death of his accomplice, he must have felt extremely shocked, and he must have been devastated, and he also knew that the robbery had failed, so he would not hesitate to kill. The manager also knew that he was facing death, he suddenly opened his mouth and yelled, who knew that the situation changed suddenly as soon as he yelled.I saw that the gun in the gangster's hand was aimed at the manager, but suddenly he bent over and pointed it at his head, just like when the gangster with the machine gun suddenly shot himself.But now the gangster is holding a pistol, and the movement of his arm seems to be much smoother. When the gun in his hand is aimed at his own head, he can clearly see his fingers holding the trigger, The action of pulling the trigger. At this moment Fernando called out: "Pay attention to his left hand!" His reminder is very useful. We didn't pay attention to it originally, but only paid attention to the result after he pulled the trigger. As soon as Nandu reminded us, we noticed that the gangster raised his left hand and stretched it out to his right hand. However, at this moment, the gunshot rang out. Since the gunshot was also prolonged due to the slow motion, it sounded Extremely weird. Next is the upper part of the gangster's head, including the hair and the mask, being rushed into the air by a spring of blood. Fernando shouted again: "Stop!" Zhang Taifeng cooperated very well, and immediately stopped the broadcast, so the screen stopped at that terrible scene. Fernando stood up abruptly, even put down the bottle of wine he had been holding in his arms, and asked in a loud voice: "Look at his left hand, what do you think his left hand wants to do?" It seems that he attaches great importance to this issue, which is why he is so nervous.And Zhang Taifeng obviously discussed this issue with him. When he asked the question, Zhang Taifeng repeatedly replayed the process where the gangster suddenly pointed a gun at him until his head exploded. During this process, the gangster stretched his left hand to his right, and before he could make any movement, he was already dead. Not only can I not know what the gangster's left hand wants to do, but I also don't know why Fernando asked this question. Zhang Taifeng said: "Looking at it at a super slow speed, it's not easy to guess what he originally wanted to do." As he spoke, he replayed it at normal speed.This passage—from the gangster turning around, the manager resisting, to the gangster missing the upper part of his head, the whole process took less than two seconds, and the process of his left hand taking action was even shorter, only about one-fifth of a second. It turned out to be next to him, and suddenly he raised it up, halfway through, the bullet had already been fired, and after a little half of his head was blown off, the gangster remained standing for about a second before falling to the ground, waiting for him to fall to the ground Afterwards, the blood continued to flow out. Zhang Taifeng repeated it several times, and Hong Ling yelled first: "His left hand is trying to push away his right hand!" Bai Su and I looked at each other, I knew that I, like her, also thought of the possibility that Hong Ling said, but we didn't say it. The reason why we didn't say it out is because we were more deliberate and thought deeply, and felt that although it seemed like this, it was actually impossible. If the gangster wants to move the right hand with the gun, why use the left hand to push?He can move his right hand directly.Unless he couldn't move his right hand at that time, but that's not the case, his right hand could move - he pulled the trigger and shot himself dead! Besides, why did he push his right hand away? If it's because you don't want to shoot yourself, as long as you don't pull the trigger, why bother to push the right hand away with your left hand? After a few more questions, I found that this statement cannot be established. After Hong Ling spoke, she saw Bai Su and I's expressions, and knew that we didn't agree with what she said, so she made a face and didn't continue—if Wen Baoyu was present at this time, the situation might be different, Wen Baoyu The way of thinking is similar to that of Hong Ling, they will be more in tune and can play a role. Although I can't have any idea about the unfinished movement of the gangster's left hand, I also feel that under such circumstances, his left hand action is very strange, and there must be his purpose, but it is difficult for us to understand.At the same time, I also admire the observation ability of the big fat man Fernando. He noticed the suspicious movement of the gangster's left hand. If I had watched it many times, I would have ignored it. But then I can't compliment his reaction to Hong Ling's statement. He reacted extremely strongly to Hong Ling's words, shaking his body, rushed to Hong Ling's face, and grabbed Hong Ling's hand, like a lost child who suddenly saw his relatives, the fat on his face could actually be lost With a clear expression of excitement, he kept saying: "You think so! You think so too!" Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, with an air of "if you live with a confidant, you will die without regret". His reaction made Hong Ling very embarrassed.Because after Bai Su and I obviously disagreed with her statement, Hong Ling immediately felt that her statement was a kind of "blurring out of the mouth" when she thought about it. But just when she felt that her statement was untenable, Fernando expressed his agreement to her in such an extremely enthusiastic way, so that she really didn't know how to respond. Fernando was obviously over-excited, he didn't notice Hong Ling's weird and awkward expression at all, and continued: "After I found out that his left hand was moving abnormally, I immediately thought of it, but when I think about it again, I don't know There are a hundred reasons to overthrow this idea, and I don’t agree with my own idea, and it’s rare for you to think so, which shows that this idea is not completely untenable!" Hong Ling smiled wryly: "But... but... Now I think this kind of assumption seems impossible!" Fernando took a step back, sighed, and waved his hands, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. I saw this situation, only amused and impatient--two gangsters are dead, what will happen to the other, I am anxious to know, while Fernando seems to want to entangle himself in this impossible problem clear. I was just about to ask him to stop talking nonsense, but Bai Su had already said: "Mr. Fernando, here with us, even the most impossible idea can be discussed. You can say anything, please don't have any scruples." Bai Su's words gave Fernando a lot of encouragement, but when he spoke, his expression was still extremely weird. It seemed that even he himself didn't quite believe what he was about to say. He hesitated and said: "My words... will sound contradictory... Although I have overturned this idea, I still think this idea is right!" I wanted to speak, but Bai Su glared at me and blocked what I wanted to say, so that there was a "cuckoo" sound in my throat.Originally, I wanted to reprimand Fernando unreservedly, saying that what he said was not only contradictory, it was simply nonsense! After stopping what I wanted to say, Bai Su asked patiently: "Why do you have such contradictory thoughts?" Fernando swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still hesitating: "I just feel that such a vicious gangster has absolutely no reason to commit suicide—" When he said this, I already knew his thoughts—don’t think that I’m just used to denying other people’s ideas. In fact, I can capture even one in ten thousand possibilities in other people’s ideas and affirm them.When I deny it, it's just that I haven't grasped this tiny possibility. At this time, when Fernando said this, I understood what he meant: since such a gangster could not commit suicide, Fernando thought that the gangster could not help himself when he shot, so he pushed his left hand away with his right hand. Attempt to stop. This is the so-called "one in ten thousand possibility", at least I can immediately make the following assumptions. One of the hypotheses: When the gangster was about to shoot at the manager, suddenly an invisible person bent his left arm, which turned the gangster's intended murder into suicide.The reason why it is assumed to be an invisible person is because in the video tape, there is no one around the gangster at all.We seem to have no one, objectively speaking, it does not mean that there is really no one, and the possibility of the existence of invisible people cannot be denied. Hypothesis 2: When the culprit was about to shoot, his left arm suddenly became "independent". Although it did not actually separate from his body, he did not follow instructions in action, so instead of shooting the manager, he shot and killed the manager. he. (As for why the bandit's left arm suddenly becomes "independent", that's another question. My assumption is based on the fact that the bandit is absolutely impossible to commit suicide.) Assumption 3: This assumption is Chinese, inspired by martial arts novels.There is often a kind of martial arts in martial arts novels, called "striking acupuncture points from the air". Maybe at that time, a master from a long distance hit the unknown acupuncture point on the gangster's left arm with "inner energy". It made the bandit's left arm move abnormally. Etc., etc…… Regardless of whether such assumptions are really possible facts, at least they are not "absolutely impossible", and the culprit committing suicide is "absolutely impossible", so no matter how ridiculous and absurd this kind of assumption sounds, it is more reasonable than the culprit committing suicide— —At least the possibility of existence cannot be completely denied.
