When I changed my mind so quickly, I didn't make a sound.Because at this time I felt that Bai Su's questioning of Fernando must be because she had a certain idea. I wanted to hear her reaction after hearing Fernando's contradictory words, so I kept silent, Lian Hong Aya wanted to speak, but I stopped her. After hesitating for a while, Fernando continued: "Anyway, these three gangsters... such vicious gangsters, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely only think of killing people, and absolutely, absolutely, never think of committing suicide!" He said six "absolutes" in one breath, to show that things are really absolute, and there can be no exceptions.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Su and I said in unison: "Three?" Because up to that time, what we have seen on the video tapes are only two gangsters "suicide", and how the other one will end up is still unknown. Fernando nodded and took a breath: "Yes, three." He said, and made a gesture to Zhang Taifeng, Zhang Taifeng continued to play the video, let us watch it. So we see what happens to the third gangster. The first, and even the second gangster suddenly killed himself with a gun in his hand, which made us see the unexpected and brought extreme shock.

And now that we have Fernando's reminder, we know that the result of the third gangster is the same as the first two. With mental preparation, we can feel somewhat different from what happened, and we can look at it more objectively. Look. After the upper half of the second gangster's head was blown off, the gangster was able to see the situation clearly from his position. He had a very short time to be shocked by what happened He couldn't even move, and then he screamed like crazy. He yelled and raised his hands at the same time. It seemed that he had completely lost control of his emotions under extreme panic.

Under such circumstances, the general development of the situation will cause the gangsters to use the weapons in their hands to kill people indiscriminately, resulting in a terrible tragedy. But at this time, when such a tragedy was about to happen, the gangster suddenly shouted: "No! Don't!" While he was screaming, he raised his right hand and pulled the trigger at the same time, the bullet shot upwards without hurting anyone. After firing a shot, the gangster continued to raise his right hand and bent over. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at his forehead. At the same time, he immediately pulled the trigger again, and the bullet burst out amidst the deafening gunshots. , shot into his brain.

When the blood sprayed out from the bullet hole on his forehead, his body trembled strangely, his left arm waved, but the pistol in his right hand was always pointed at his head. Then his body fell off the counter and hit the ground hard. The three gangsters died one after the other, the time interval was very short, no more than half a minute, and we watched it again at the actual time when the incident happened. Although we already knew the result, such a terrible and incredible thing happened in such a short period of time Things, we still feel the unusual shock. It is conceivable how horrified those people who were at the scene were, so after the third gangster fell to the ground, for at least a minute, no one moved or made a sound, as if everything It's like being completely still.

It was the old woman who made the first move. She actually walked over to see the gangster who had fallen from the counter, and then raised her head with a strange expression, as if she couldn't believe what she saw. Is the truth. As far as the tape goes here, we've been silent for a while - because we really don't know how to start. Although things are extremely "ideal", the vicious gangster suddenly turned into suicide when he was about to kill someone, which is really satisfying. Things are good things that please people's hearts, but if you ask why such things happen, it will be very nerve-wracking.

Such a strange thing, of course, must have a reason for it to happen. The problem is that we have no idea at all, so we have nothing to say. Fernando broke the silence first: "This third gangster, before dying, shouted 'no', what did he want to express?" I had already noticed this too, so I had an answer soon.I said: "There are two possibilities. One is that he yelled meaninglessly under the shock. The other is that at that time he felt that... something bad for him would happen, so he yelled like this." Fernando was actually satisfied with my answer this time. He used the second possibility in the answer and immediately asked: "What is the so-called unfavorable thing for him?"

My further answer disappointed him, and I said, "It's normal for him to yell no more after witnessing the death of two comrades." Fernando couldn't help shaking his head, the fat wobbled like a rattle. I knew he would have such a reaction, so I immediately asked, "What do you think?" Fernando looked discouraged: "Honestly, I don't have an idea—precisely because I don't have an idea, and I can't find anyone in Panama to discuss it with. That’s why I took advantage of this meeting in London to bring the relevant materials to see if I can find someone who can conduct in-depth research together.”

I asked, "Did you play this tape at the meeting?" Fernando smiled wryly: "Of course not - I've been teased enough, I won't mention this to others rashly." I was very curious: "Then how did you find Zhang Taifeng and start doing joint research with him?" Fernando shook his head: "I didn't take the initiative to look for him at the beginning. On the first day of the meeting, Zhang Taifeng tried his best to express his desire to get close to me. He is a good person and talks well. We talked a lot. Later, he mentioned your Excellency. Talking about your many unimaginable experiences made me know that you are the person I am looking for, so I mentioned this matter to him and showed him the video."

Fernando's words made me very puzzled—why did Zhang Taifeng take the initiative to approach Fernando? While I was puzzled, I cast a questioning look at Zhang Taifeng. Under my gaze, Zhang Taifeng reacted very strangely. It was a rather coy look, as if he was very shy, which was really inexplicable. Fernando continued: "After listening to Zhang Taifeng's brief introduction to Your Excellency, I asked him to bring me here, hoping to get the answer I want to know." Although Fernando tried his best to keep his tone normal, he still revealed his disappointment. At this time, I have already confirmed that the whole thing is really weird—even if I have reservations about what Fernando said is "absolutely", thinking that such a gangster may commit suicide suddenly, it is absolutely impossible for the three of them to commit suicide at almost the same time. Suicide together.

But now I can't give any explanation for this situation. Not only Fernando is disappointed, but I am also dissatisfied. After thinking for a while, I said: "It's really hard to make any judgment based on what I saw on the video tape. More information is needed, such as the statement of the person who was in the bank at the time, whether there were other witnesses. Those who are familiar with the three culprits... etc. need to have a comprehensive investigation and understanding before they can have a clue." Fernando took a breath: "That's right, I joined the police force at the age of sixteen, and now I have been a deputy police chief for more than thirty years. Naturally, I know how to handle a case. Just hand it over to me, and I will preside over the investigation. There are too many documents for one person to handle, and of course many of them are useless, so I don’t think Mr. Wei’s time should be wasted looking at these documents—” Before he finished speaking, I raised my hand and interrupted him.It wasn't until he said his position that I didn't know that the big fat man in front of me was the deputy chief of the national police and had a very high status. Of course, no matter how high his official rank is, he can't scare me, but he has more than 30 years of experience in handling cases, which cannot be ignored.Especially for more than a quarter of a century, he has dealt with gangsters in the same place. Of course, he is very familiar with the gangster psychology and crime methods in this place, so his judgment on the behavior of gangsters is accurate and credible. The degree is of course extremely high. That is to say, since he has judged that that type of gangster will not commit suicide, he can completely rule out the possibility of suicide in the process of answering the whole matter, and proceed in another way. After I interrupted his words, I thought for a while and said, "Since you have so much experience, at least after a detailed investigation, you should have a preliminary conclusion." In fact, I have asked Fernando the same question more than once, and every time Fernando shook his head and gave a negative answer, but I felt that he should not be completely clueless, or even hypothetical.So at this time, after knowing that he is such a veteran, I asked him seriously. Bai Su obviously understood what I meant. Without waiting for Fernando to answer, she said, "No matter how impossible your idea is, you should bring it up for discussion." Bai Su thought a little deeper than I did. She affirmed that Fernando already had an idea, but she didn't want to say it because the idea was too impossible. At this time, Fernando showed an embarrassing expression, which made me know that Bai Su's words hit Fernandu's heart, and I couldn't help being a little angry—this big fat man has already found out something, but he concealed it. Blindly want to hear our opinion, too meaningless! Before I expressed my dissatisfaction, Hong Ling broke out first and said loudly: "You should...please speak out your thoughts!" Fernando smiled wryly: "It's not that I didn't say it, but... but..." He hesitated for a while, but still didn't say why, it seemed that he was really embarrassed.We looked at Zhang Taifeng and saw that Zhang Taifeng also looked blank, apparently he didn't know what Fernando was thinking. This was quite unexpected, because Fernando and Zhang Taifeng should have been discussing this matter for many days, and Fernando never mentioned the results of the investigation to Zhang Taifeng, it was too much! Zhang Taifeng also realized that Fernando had something he didn't tell anyone, so he immediately joined us, glaring at Fernando with severe and reproachful eyes. Sweat dripped from Fernando's chubby face, and he raised his hands in surrender: "I say! I say! Actually... it's not my idea, but Aunt Joan's idea... Aunt Joan's statement Although...it is difficult for those who handle the case to accept it, but I still feel that there is a certain possibility in private...although many people think that Aunt Qiao An's statement is correct...but it is really difficult to draw a conclusion..." He spoke intermittently, almost incoherently, and it was difficult to understand what he wanted to say.Hong Ling asked, "Who is Aunt Qiao An? You are the Deputy Superintendent of Police, and Aunt Qiao An is the Superintendent of Police?" Hong Ling didn't mean to tease Fernando, she just didn't understand, so she just asked. Fernando shook his head with a bitter expression, "Aunt Joan is not a policeman...she's a...witch." Of course, Bai Su and I knew that Aunt Qiao An would not be the police chief, but we never thought that she was a witch. Things were already queer enough, but adding a witch made it even more queer.Moreover, the police had to listen to the witch's opinion in handling the case, which was really embarrassing. No wonder Fernando kept refusing to say it. However, Bai Su and I have no prejudice against witches. We know that there is a king of witches who indeed has incredible supernatural abilities. After Fernando said this, we all felt that the matter itself was so weird that perhaps we should solve it in a weird way. The so-called fighting poison with poison might have unexpected results. Bai Su asked: "Is this Aunt Qiao An very good at witchcraft?" Fernando looked even more bitter, and sighed: "She doesn't know witchcraft at all, she just calls herself a witch, she usually pretends to be a witch, cheats some small money, fools ignorant women and children, I... really shouldn't listen to her, it's better to be a witch." I never said it, just forget it!" Bai Su and I didn't understand, so we raised a question: "Since she is just a magician, why would she express her opinion on this case?" Fernando smiled wryly: "Because she was there at the time—the old woman in the bank you saw was Aunt Joan." This answer was unexpected, and Fernando continued: "Aunt Qiao An is very famous in society, or among the people. She has many strange legends in her belly, which are very attractive, so the ignorant people If I have any questions, I always like to go to her... I also went to see her with my family when I was young." Fernando repeatedly emphasized that Aunt Joan was just a witch in the lower class, and he never said what Aunt Joan said that made him think it was possible. Up to that time, I could only guess that what Aunt Joan said must be ridiculous, and that's why Fernando had such an attitude. Hong Ling was more impatient than me, and asked loudly, "What did Aunt Qiao An say?" Fernando sighed again, and then said: "She said that among all the gods, there is a god called 'God of Retribution', this god is dedicated to good and evil, She said the three gangsters—” When he said this, Hong Ling and I couldn't help it, and burst out laughing. This is of course very impolite behavior, especially since Fernando didn't want to say it at all, we asked him to say it repeatedly, and before he said it, he stated several times that the matter was ridiculous. too much. Bai Su is better than us, although she also finds it funny, but she can bear it.And I was much better than Hong Ling. After laughing for less than ten seconds, she stopped, but Hong Ling was unscrupulous. She laughed for three minutes, and she pointed at Fernando while laughing. nose. For the first minute and a half, Fernando just turned yellow and didn't move, but later, he couldn't help but attack, and even opened his mouth to bite Hong Ling's finger. Of course Hong Ling won't let him bite, so she dodges, Fernando catches up, Hong Ling hides again, two heavyweights chase in the room, coupled with Hong Ling's laughter, it's really earth-shattering Potential. Bai Su and I made a move together before hugging Hong Ling, and I immediately bowed deeply to Fernando who stopped to breathe, expressing my apology. Bai Su glanced at Hong Ling, Hong Ling held back her smile, and also bowed to Fernando. Fernando took a few steps back, sat down, put his head in his hands, and did not look at us.The original harmonious atmosphere was completely destroyed by us, and no one knew what to say for a while. Although the matter is not good for us, it's really no wonder Hong Ling and I are to blame.Because Fernando suddenly mentioned the "God of Retribution", what he meant was very clear. He meant that everything was caused by this god—this god specializes in retribution. The gangsters were about to start a murderous crime, so there was a bad reward immediately-it became them to kill themselves. Judging from the situation, the god of retribution should have happened to be on the scene at that time, so he was able to cause the three criminals to suffer bad retribution. It would be wonderful if the God of Karma was not present at the scene, but high up in the sky, monitoring the earth from space like a man-made satellite, and exerting his abilities! "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil" is the wish of the vast majority of people (except the wicked) throughout history, but this wish is definitely a typical example of "subjective wishes cannot change objective facts", and it seems that it has never been realized.Although gods like the God of Retribution exist in their own legends from all nations around the world, if you want to choose the most irresponsible and negligent champion, this God of Retribution is well-deserved, because he has never done it well. Good is rewarded for evil and evil is rewarded for evil! And if he is a responsible god, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil, then the world will become ten thousand times more lovely, and living on the earth will become extremely beautiful and happy! Unfortunately, in fact, things are not like that at all. And Fernando's idea comes from a backward and ignorant society, a product of a sorceress, and Fernando actually agrees with it, trying to explain the current problem from such an idea, it is really naive and ridiculous. Extremely, Hong Ling and I really don't have the ability to hold back laughter as brilliantly as Bai Su. After a while, Fernando put down his hands, stood up, made a gesture with Zhang Taifeng, turned around and walked towards the door, apparently ready to leave. Zhang Taifeng also put away the videotape, with a helpless expression, he called Fernando, but Fernando did not answer, the fat man was really angry, he opened the door without saying goodbye to us, and opened the door go. Bai Su immediately chased after her, and said sincerely: "Their father and daughter are too rude and can't accept things beyond their imagination, please forgive them. I really think you feel that Aunt Joan's statement is not an attitude that cannot be considered at all, very correct." Hearing Bai Su say this, the surprise in my heart is indescribable. What surprised me was that I knew that Bai Su didn't say this to please Fernando, but that Bai Su really believed that he could consider the god of retribution mentioned by Aunt Qiao An to explain the three The mysterious death of the gangster. Fernando paused for a while, his expression was very excited, and he said to Bai Su: "Thank you, thank you, I have heard that your talent is far superior to that of your husband, it is true, it is true." When the big fat man said this, he rolled his eyes at me, expressing his disdain for me, his appearance was very hateful. My first reaction was to give Zhang Taifeng a hard look, which made Zhang Taifeng take three steps back in shock—although my eyes were sharp, but I didn't have that much power. The reason why Zhang Taifeng was so scared was of course that he was guilty of a crime. , Because there are ghosts in my heart. The "I've heard about it" in Fernando's mouth just now revealed the fact that Zhang Taifeng spoke ill of me behind my back——Fernandu didn't know me at all, so how could he know that Bai Su's talent was superior to mine? "I heard", of course, is what Zhang Taifeng, a talkative person, said. I don't think I will make a wrong judgment on such a trivial matter! At this time, I didn't quite understand Bai Su's attitude. What kind of God of Retribution was mentioned by Fernando? It's not surprising, it's strange that Bai Su would agree, it's really incomprehensible. So after I stared back at Zhang Taifeng, I satirized Bai Su and Fernando: "I don't know what the two of you will do next, I think I should go to the God of Retribution!" Fernando and Bai Su looked at me, after Fernando glanced at me, he turned to Bai Su, obviously he already had the answer in his heart, but he just wanted to hear Bai Su's opinion first, but Bai Su unexpectedly said: "Exactly, you should go to the God of Retribution." I typed a haha: "Where can I find it?" Bai Su seemed to have a tacit understanding with Fernando, so he glanced at Fernando. Fernando was still hesitant, but under the encouragement of Bai Su's eyes, he straightened his chest and said loudly: "One day A kind of temple, dedicated to the god of retribution, I know that there is a temple that the most people visit..." When I heard this, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I sighed and waved my hands. I didn’t want to say anything more. I turned my head and complained to Zhang Taifeng: “It’s said that there are many people attending the London meeting. It’s hard to find someone like you. Why did you find such a person to deal with!" When I say this, I don’t really have any special meaning, but I just want to highlight that Fernando is a miserable person and not worth knowing. Unexpectedly, Zhang Taifeng replied seriously: "Because...because...he came from Panama, so...so...I—" Although he answered seriously, it seemed like he had something to hide, and he couldn't make any sense out of it. I was wondering why Zhang Taifeng would be with Fernando Gui, but seeing Zhang Taifeng’s expression at this time, I felt that there was a lot of meaning in it, and I immediately asked: “Why do you have to deal with him when he comes from Panama? Do you have relatives in Panama?" Of course, my purpose of asking this question was just to tease Zhang Taifeng - he brought the big fat man, and the big fat man said nothing to me, of course I blame Zhang Taifeng a little bit. Unexpectedly, Zhang Taifeng blushed suddenly when he heard my question, as if he had told me something on his mind.His reaction baffled me. At this time, Bai Su and Fernando were at the door, talking constantly, and I don't know what they were talking about.If it wasn't for Zhang Taifeng's strange demeanor, of course I would have paid attention to the conversation between Bai Su and Fernando, but at that time Zhang Taifeng's demeanor aroused my curiosity, so I walked towards him and kept staring at him , Zhang Taifeng smiled forcedly, and answered me: "She has gone to Panama." Don't say that my comprehension ability is poor, I really have no way of knowing what it means to say something like this! Zhang Taifeng looked shy and explained what he just said: "She, Dian Xiwei went to Panama." I wanted to laugh, but I was afraid that Zhang Taifeng would not be able to keep his face off.The matter is indeed funny, but it is also very tortuous. It was not until this time that I understood the ins and outs of the matter-it is necessary to explain it to everyone, otherwise you will not understand the ingenuity. In the previous story, Zhang Taifeng met a beautiful and lively girl Dian Xiwei.Soon Zhang Taifeng and Dian Xiwei got along very closely, and it was completely understandable that Zhang Taifeng had fallen in love. And Dian Xiwei went to Panama recently, Zhang Taifeng naturally misses it very much, he actually has no special affection for the big fat Fernando, but because Fernando is from Panama, he thought of his lover in Panama, so he naturally gave birth to He felt a sense of intimacy, that's why he got close to Fernando.Unexpectedly, by mistake, Fernando wanted to discuss with someone about that weird case, and this incident involved me. It can be said that the matter was derived from Dian Xiwei's going to Panama, which is really mysterious! I snorted, Zhang Taifeng still looked embarrassed, but he mustered up his courage and said: "It's all because Dian Xiwei went to Panama that we have the opportunity to come into contact with this strange thing." I snorted again, which of course meant that I was not very interested in this matter. Zhang Taifeng didn't take it seriously, and murmured something, but I didn't hear it clearly. It was conceivable that it was not a good word, so I immediately pointed to him: "One Don't change the words, say it again!" Zhang Taifeng puffed up his chest and said loudly: "If you don't want to pursue such a strange thing, you are not Wesley at all." When I heard this, I could only smile wryly, and I really felt the dilemma of being a human being—I was not interested in the things that came to me, so I became "it's not Wesley at all".And when I got to the bottom of things, I became a monster like Xiao Guo said, "I have to find out the baby names of other people's grandmothers"! At this time, I saw that Hong Ling also went to the door at some time to participate in the conversation between Bai Su and Fernando. It seemed that the conversation was very speculative. I wanted to go over and ask them what they were talking about, but Zhang Taifeng heard the sound of a mobile phone. He took out the phone and listened for a while, then his expression changed drastically, and his voice became hoarse. He was asking: "How did the news come?" ?” Although I don't know what it is, I can guess that something very important and shocking must have happened. This naturally caught my attention. Seeing that Zhang Taifeng's face became more and more ugly, his body was still trembling slightly, and he was panting involuntarily. He said, "I will contact them directly. I have a way to directly contact the Panamanian side." The matter was related to Panama again, so I immediately thought of the case we came across just now. However, although this case is strange, it will not make Zhang Taifeng feel like he has suffered a great disaster! Zhang Taifeng put away the phone, and suddenly screamed towards the door: "Fernando, please help me, please contact the Panamanian police immediately—" After he screamed, he was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound, and his expression was even more anxious, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. Fernando was talking with Bai Su and didn't know what happened. He turned his head and saw Zhang Taifeng's situation. I admired him for his quick response and accurate judgment.
