Chapter 8 Chapter Seven They Are Not Human!

We talked, got in the car, and I drove.As soon as the car started, the cars of two plainclothes officers hurriedly followed behind. My thoughts were very chaotic, I glanced at Bai Su, saw her brows were knotted, she was deep in thought, after ten minutes, I couldn't help it anymore, and said: "What are you thinking?" When I asked, Bai Su suddenly laughed: "I ask you a question, to test your observation skills." I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Bai Su meant by that.Bai Su said: "We have been to Berlioz's residence, and we have also been to Lian Neng's residence. Can you find any special places in their living rooms?"

I looked at Bai Su, wondering if she wanted to relax the atmosphere, make a joke, or be serious.Bai Su immediately said: "When driving, please look ahead and think carefully." I quickly thought about it, Berlioz and Lian Neng are all "problem people" in our hearts. After entering their residence, I naturally paid attention to them.In Lian Neng's residence just now.I have observed it carefully and found it to be very simple and comfortable, nothing special about it. I looked for something special about Berlioz's living room in my memory, but I couldn't find it.After thinking for a while, I exclaimed, "I see, they are all bachelors."

Bai Su glared at me: "This is another common point of the four of them, but what I want you to answer is that there is an undesired phenomenon in their living room." I thought about it while driving, but no matter what, I couldn't think of anything special. I had no choice but to shake my head: "In order for me to concentrate on driving, please tell me." Bai Su said: "Their fireplace." As soon as I stayed, the living rooms of Berlioz and Lian Neng all had fireplaces.In fact, there is a fireplace in any Nordic house, so what is there to be surprised about?

I said, "What's so special about having a fireplace? Everyone in a Nordic home has a fireplace." Bai Su said: "Yes, because of the cold weather, it is necessary for almost every house to have a fireplace. But I see that Berlioz and Lian Neng have never used the fireplace in their living room." I couldn't help but said loudly: "You're getting further and further away. It doesn't matter if they use the fireplace or not?" Bai Su said: "If my observation is correct, then there is another common point between them." I'm kind of ironic: "How do you know their fireplace is never used?"

Bai Su said: "It's easy to see that there is no ash on the ash shelf under the stove, and there is no fire fork tool used beside the stove. Even the mouth of the chimney shows no signs of blackening." I said, "Maybe they like to use an electric stove." Bai Su said: "I would rather think that they are not afraid of the cold and don't need to light a fire to keep warm in the severe Nordic weather." I spread my hands: "Okay, it's another thing they have in common, so what?" Bai Su said: "We try to find out the common points between the four of them. The more the four of them have in common, the more likely there is some kind of collusion between them, concealing the history of the plane crash, and framing Ma Keji. long."

I took a deep breath, Bai Su's words were very reasonable.I said: "The first common point is that behind their residences are all greenhouses." Bai Su said: "Although we can't prove it absolutely, we can confirm this first. Tomorrow, we will go to another place—" I said again: "Secondly, they are orphans. So far, they are all bachelors.'" Bai said: "Thirdly, they don't use a fireplace, so they are not afraid of the cold." I said, "Fourth, have you noticed that the faces of Berlioz and Lian Neng both have a strange dark green color?"

Bai Su said: "Yes, it's too weird. Also, all four of them have the ability to 'incarnate'!" I shook my head and said, "This point is too strange, so I will keep it for now." Bai Su insisted: "No, I believe in Huang Tang's narrative, and I even believe in my own personal experience." I couldn't object: "Well, what kind of people are they from these points?" Suddenly, Bai Su said something that surprised me, so that the car I was driving suddenly lost control and slammed into the side of the road. Fortunately, I turned around immediately and the car returned to normal.

What Bai Su said that surprised me was: "They are not human beings." It wasn't until a minute later that I repeated Bai Su's words: "Aren't they human?" Bai Su said: "Yes, remember Captain Mackey said the same thing?" I smiled wryly: "Yes, he did, but what does that mean?" Bai Su said: "I don't understand." I said, "What do you mean by saying that?" Bai Su said again: "I don't understand either." I raised my voice: "Is this plausible? You said it." Bai Su said: "I just have a strong feeling that they...they are not human."

I smiled bitterly and said, "You should say that they are slightly different from ordinary people. The difference is not very big, but they are not afraid of the cold, they came from an orphanage, their faces turn green, etc." Bai Su didn't make a sound, I said: "Okay, I think, you think they are aliens?" Bai Su said: "It kind of means that, but I can't say exactly what the situation is." I made a gesture to express my views on "aliens", and I couldn't agree: "I don't think so, they are weird, they don't seem to have any special abilities, like Lian Neng, he is just a flight attendant, not a scientist .”

Bai Su frowned: "This is what I can't figure out. If aliens can come to the earth, they must have superhuman intelligence, like the few of them who grew up in an orphanage—" She invited here, paused for a while, and took a breath: "I want to spend a little time, starting from the orphanage, to trace the personal history of the four of them, or I can find something." I laughed: "It's okay, anyway, we don't know when and what month we will be able to get rid of the suspicion and leave here." Bai Su said with a smile: "This country has very strict entry control for foreigners. It is an adventure for us to live there for three to five years."

The car had already entered the urban area, I parked the car at the entrance of the hotel, got out of the car, handed over the car keys to Si Yan who came up to meet me, and walked into the hotel with Bai Su. As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, two high-ranking police officers walked over with nervous and serious expressions. I saw the expressions of these two people and knew that something unusual had happened. Sure enough, as soon as the two came in front of us, they didn't even look at the two plainclothes officers who were sweating profusely behind us, and immediately lowered their voices: "Please follow us to the room." Seeing them so nervous, I couldn't help joking with him, using a common language used by Western men and women when dating: "The room? Yours or mine?" The two senior police officers showed angry expressions: "Your room, our director has been waiting for you for a long time." I sneered: "Even if your president is waiting for me, I can't fly in." The two looked even angrier, but they also had nothing to do with me, Bai Su said in a low voice: "Stop playing around, I think it must be about Captain Mackey, and there has been a new development." When I thought about it, Bai Su's speculation was very reasonable, otherwise, even the top police officer would not have come.I signaled Bai Su to enter the elevator, turned around and came to the two plainclothes officers, first raised my hand to attract their attention, and then quickly put their guns back into their pockets. When the two plainclothes officers were still puzzled, I had already turned around, and they would naturally find that there was something more in their pockets immediately, and they would not come to ask me for it again. After entering the elevator, the two senior police officers followed in. The elevator reached the floor where we lived, opened it, and the four of us went out together and entered our room. A tall middle-aged man with a red face, Stand up from the sofa. As soon as the middle-aged man stood up, a senior police officer said, "Director, Wesley is back." I said: "Welcome, welcome, please sit down, please sit down." The director looked at me for a very short time, and then said straight to the point: "Mr. Wei, I have some bad news to tell you. Mr. Qi Shiyu is dead!" I couldn't help being shocked, Qi Shiyu is dead! Dozens of questions immediately arose in my mind: How did he die?Where did he hide after he rescued Mackey?Where is Mackey? When I was speechless, Bai Su was already asking: "How did you die?" The director said, "Suicide." When I heard it, I almost jumped up: "Why did he commit suicide?" The Commissioner gestured to a senior police officer. The senior police officer immediately walked forward, holding a folder in his hand, and the director said: "This is his suicide note, I hope you can read it." The doubts in my heart were even worse, but after I took the folder from the senior police officer, opened it, saw Qi Shiyu's suicide note, and read it, the doubts in my heart were almost at their peak. The following is Qi Shiyu's suicide note: "I, Qi Shiyu, now decide to commit suicide. My death is absolutely out of my own will and has nothing to do with anyone. I commit suicide because I really can't cleanse myself of assisting Ma Jiji Suspected of fleeing for a long time. "I had planned in detail to get Captain Mackey out of custody and to avoid his trial in court. He was a good friend of mine, and the unanimous consensus was that he was responsible for the crash, and he was completely responsible for the crash. I have adopted a very strange attitude of not defending myself. This makes me sure that there must be something else hidden in the plane crash. I want to avoid his trial first, and then slowly seek the truth. "During the course of my planning, I had contact with a number of people, all of whom were fairly successful criminals, and they all agreed that it would be very easy to get Captain Mackey out... "I have also disclosed my plan to Wesley. I know that the result of doing so will cause me to violate the law, but I firmly believe that Captain Mackey is innocent. In order to rescue an innocent friend, I will consider myself guilty of breaking the law. It's also worth it. "But unexpectedly, before I took any action, Captain Mackey suddenly escaped from the detention center with the help of a group of people! "The escape of Captain Mackey, as anyone would think, was done by me, and I can't think of any way of convincing myself of my innocence. I planned to do it, but I didn't do it. I'm going to be tried and ruined for what I didn't do. "I don't know who saved Captain Mackey, I swear, I swear on my death, I really don't know. As soon as I got the news that Captain Mackey left the detention center, I knew that I could do nothing but kill myself Besides, there is no second way to go. "May Captain Mackey have the opportunity to defend himself. I don't need to defend anymore, because my death has proved my innocence." I read Qi Shiyu's suicide note over and over again, and my heart was filled with extreme doubts. Because my heart was in a mess, when I raised my head again and met the director's gaze, I just said: "It's not Qi Tuyu, so who is it?" The director smiled wryly and pointed at me. I laughed bitterly: "It's not me!" After saying this sentence.After a short pause, he said again: "Do you believe that I am going to commit suicide too?" The director also smiled wryly: "It wasn't Yashiyu, then, who took Ma Ji away from the detention center?" Bai Su read Qi Shiyu's suicide note again: "Is this his handwriting?" A senior police officer said: "Yes, after the appraisal of two experts." Bai Su frowned: "Actually, he doesn't have to commit suicide, he can justify himself." Another senior police officer said: "Senior police psychologists believe that these days, Mr. Qi Tuyu's psychological burden and pressure have already exceeded what he can bear. It was even more unbearable, so he had to liberate himself in death." Bai Su said "hmm": "It's very strange, besides Qi Shiyu who wants to save Ma Ji, who else wants to save him?" The director spread his hands: "There is no information. Moreover, after Markey left the detention center, he seemed to disappear into thin air." I looked at the director: "Now that Qi Shiyu has been proven innocent, am I free too?" The director thought for a while: "Theoretically, it's possible—" I was a little impatient, and said loudly: "It is possible, what is theoretically possible?" The director made a gesture to me, signaling me to be calm, and he thought about it again: "I personally hope that you don't leave for the time being, help us, and continue to investigate this matter, do you think it's okay?" The director's words were very tactful, and I couldn't help laughing: "I've been investigating." The director left the chair and took a few steps: "I have been a policeman for nearly thirty years, and I have seen many strange cases, but there is no one more inexplicable than this case." I sighed: "Yes, the whole incident, from the plane crash to the escape of Ma Ke and the suicide of Qi Shiyu, I don't know what the nature of the case is." When I say this, I am only expressing the superficial situation.In fact, many of the strange things involved in this matter are absolutely unexplainable weirdness. I didn't mention those weird things to the director, such as Berlioz's "incarnation", etc.Because I know an experienced police officer who would not accept such a weird fact. The director looked at me: "Thank you for continuing to investigate this matter, I will still do everything in my power to find Captain Mackey—" When the director mentioned this point, Bai Su suddenly interrupted: "Excuse me, what if Captain Maji doesn't show up anymore?" The director was stunned: "I don't understand—" Bai Su said: "I mean, if Markey never shows up again, then he must be responsible for the crash of the plane?" The director said: "Of course it is. Everyone's evidence proves that he did not take proper measures and caused the accident." Bai Su murmured: "The so-called 'everyone' is actually just four people." The director obviously didn't understand what Bai Su was talking about, and his eyes widened.Bai Su didn't give any further explanation, just said: "It's nothing, I hope Ma Ji can show up soon." The Director looked bitter. Although he had tried his best to make Markey appear, there was no result at all.He waved his hand meaninglessly, bid me farewell and left. After he left, I opened the door and looked, and found that the plainclothes personnel who stayed in the corridor to monitor us had also retreated. I went back to the room and saw Bai Su was thinking about Zhi Yi, her demeanor was very beautiful, I walked over and kissed her gently on the cheek.Bai Su turned her face: "Who do you think got Ma Qi away?" I frowned: "I can't think of it." Bai Su made a gesture: "There must be a motive: Qi Shiyu wanted to rescue Maji, and his motive was to believe that Maji was innocent. Qi Shiyu didn't want Maji to be tried without defending himself, and hoped that after leaving the detention center, Maji would say Something, defend yourself." I listened attentively and nodded.Bai Su went on to say: "On the contrary——" My heart suddenly moved: "Yes, on the contrary, if there are other people who are afraid that Captain Mackey will defend himself and tell the real situation when the plane crashed, it will be against them. Then this group of people will have a reason , to get Mackey out of the detention center and not to appear again." Bai Su said: "That's exactly what I think." I was startled again: "From this point of view, Markey must have... already been in danger." Bai Su shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. If you want to kill Ma Ji, you can send people in and start in the detention center. You don't have to spend a lot of time to snatch him from the detention center." Bai Su's analysis made sense, but her analysis only made the matter seem more enigmatic. I strode back and forth a few steps: "Let's summarize things first." Bai Su nodded and agreed. I took the letterhead and wrote quickly, "First, the plane crashed mysteriously. There are five parties involved. Four of them are one party, and Ma Ji is the other party." Bai Su said: "Yes, until now, the story of the plane crash is all one-sided confession." I went on to say: "The four people who made this confession have many weird behaviors and common experiences, habits, etc." Bai Su smiled and said, "You use words like this, you can write government announcements." I said sternly, "Don't interrupt. After the plane crash, Markey's attitude was weird, and he never defended himself." When I said this, Bai Su stood up abruptly. After she stood up, her expression was completely confused.Looking at her situation, it seemed that in an instant, she had thought of some extremely important key issues, but she had a flash of inspiration, but she hadn't grasped the specific details. Under such circumstances, it is of course best to let her do further thinking and not disturb her. So, I just looked at her and didn't say a word. After a full minute, Bai Su took a sharp breath: "Qi Shiyu committed suicide because he felt that he could not get rid of the suspicion." I don't understand why Bai Su would suddenly say such a completely irrelevant sentence, I just said "hmm" to agree with her statement, Bai Su said again: "People's psychology is similar, for a thing that seems completely If there is no hope, most people will give up. Suicide is a way to give up, and defending yourself silently is also one of the ways.” I began to understand a little bit what Bai Su meant. Bai Su waved his hands: "Qi Shiyu used the method of suicide, and Ma Ji used the latter method." I also captured the center that Bai Su wanted to express. I said: "Yes, before Qi Shiyu committed suicide, what he couldn't forget was his own innocence." Bai Su said: "That's right, doesn't Ma Ke want to defend himself? It's just that he feels that there is no hope. But if there is no hope, he will always disclose in his words." I took a deep breath. Bai Su said: "So, we have to study every sentence and every word that Ma Ji said in detail." At this point, she stared at me: "I haven't met Markey, you have met him, and you have had a detailed conversation with him." I smiled wryly: "Actually, when I talked to him, he didn't say anything at all." Bai Su said decisively: "He must have said something." I said: "Of course he said some things, but those words sounded completely meaningless. I have recounted them all to you." Bai Su's eyebrows were knotted, and he took a few steps back and forth: "At first, it seems meaningless, but judging from the current development of things, every sentence has a deep meaning." I was a little unconvinced and said, "For example——" Bai Su said: "For example, he asked repeatedly: 'What did they say?' Didn't he? 'They', of course, refers to Berlioz and the others." I nod. Bai Sudao: "This means that Ma Ji knew that the four people would definitely give a statement against him, but he didn't know the content. This proves that Ma Ji knew the facts and no one would believe him. He had to let the four people make false statements." I thought about it, and said cautiously: "It can be assumed like this." Bai Su's expression seemed to become excited, and she said again: "Also, he said: 'You don't understand at all!' This proves that he has a lot to say in his heart, and it also proves that Berlioz and the other four said What he said was all lies. He also said: 'I didn't see anything.' It can be seen that the facts of the incident are completely different from the confessions of the four people." I said: "Okay, he also said: 'They are not human', this should be a very important sentence, how to explain it?" Bai Su became excited: "There is no need to explain this sentence at all: they are not human, that is: they are not human." I was also a little excited: "They are not human, what are they?" Bai Su smiled wryly: "Back to the old question, I don't know what they are." I sighed: "Let's be realistic, shall we? They are obviously human." Bai Suhao remained silent for a while.During this period of time, I also quickly turned around.Bai Su's analysis was very reasonable. Although Ma Ji didn't say anything, every word he said must have extremely profound meanings. However, what does "they are not human beings" mean? Berlioz, Vince, Lian Neng, and Dabao are obviously human beings. I thought about it for a while, but came to no conclusion, so I had to think about other things: "According to your theory, it might be the four of them who got Markey out of the detention center?" Bai Su said: "Yes, so that Ma Ji can never tell the truth, their testimony will become the truth." I said: "We have seen Berlioz and Lian Neng, you have also seen Vince's residence, and Dabao—" I smiled wryly and said nothing more. That night's discussion ends here. I believe that Bai Su, like me, still has not captured the core of the problem, and is still surrounded by many mysteries. Early the next morning, we drove to Dabao's residence.At noon, we had already passed a small town, and at the end of the town, we turned into a detour. At the corner of the detour, there is a middle school, and there is a gas station next to the middle school.When our car was refueling at the gas station, it happened that middle school was over. A large group of students, jumping and shouting, rushed out of the school building, full of light and joy. We watched the staff at the gas station refueling. Probably few orientals came here, so a few students gathered around to see us. Gradually, more and more people came around to watch us. At this moment, an old teacher in his sixties with white hair came over. All the students were very polite to this teacher.The old teacher said to the students who were watching us, "It's impolite to treat strangers from afar like this. You should ask them if they need help." The two little boys immediately asked me, "Excuse me, what help do you need?" I laughed and said, "Thank you, nothing is needed, we just passed by here." Fill up the gas, Bai Su and I got into the car, the car drove forward, and a bicycle wobbled over, and the old teacher was on the bicycle. The appearance of this old teacher seems to be a typical type, a typical type of people who have devoted their lives to the cause of education in small places.While waving his hand to greet us, he said, "Okay! Who are you looking for?" Bai Su raised his head: "Mr. Dabao." The old teacher laughed: "Stubborn Dabao! I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I saw him two days ago. He was driving away and said he was going to South America for vacation. Now, he may be listening to music in South America." Bai Su got off the car: "Although he's not here, we want to visit his greenhouse." The old teacher said "tsk tsk" in his mouth: "That is really a big greenhouse. Even middle school students have to go to his greenhouse when they are in botanical class, so that students can see many uncommon plants. Go, I will can lead the way." The old teacher said, stepped on the bicycle again, and drove forward.We had no choice but to slow down the speed of the car and followed him. After passing through a forest, we could see the greenhouse.The sunlight poured down on the glass, emitting a brilliant light. The old teacher turned his head and pointed to the front. I said loudly: "Thank you for leading the way, thank you." The old teacher's bicycle turned a corner and was about to leave, but Bai Su suddenly said: "Please wait." The old teacher stopped beside our car, Bai Su said: "Just now, you called Dabao the stubborn Dabao, that's—" The old teacher laughed: "That's his nickname, and people who have known him for many years call him that." Bai Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Because he is stubborn?" The old teacher tilted his head: "It can be said that he is the most stubborn child I have ever seen." Both Bai Su and I felt strange, because although we didn't know Dabao very well, he didn't give people a particularly stubborn impression. I don't know how he got this nickname. The old teacher seemed to see that we were somewhat puzzled, and he happened to be a talkative person himself. He said: "Dabao's stubbornness has no reason, it's just stubbornness." I said, "Have you known him for a long time?" The old teacher laughed again, and said: "When he was eleven years old, he was sent to my school from a nearby orphanage. It must have been seventeen or eighteen years now." My heart moved, and Bai Su obviously thought of what I thought of.Those four people all grew up in orphanages, and their backgrounds are unknown.I'm afraid no one knows how they grow into adults.This old teacher knew Dabao when he first entered middle school, and that was the best thing. I continued: "So it's been so long, we really want to know what kind of person Mr. Dabao is, you must know him." The old teacher shook his head: "It's hard to say. For example, I don't understand why he was so stubborn. At that time, he was almost expelled by the principal. It was I who interceded for him repeatedly so that he could complete his secondary education." Bai Su said: "Oh, what mistake did he make?" The old teacher smiled: "Stubborn, after that incident, he got the nickname 'Stubborn Dabao'." Older people, when they talk, can't help nagging, I am impatient: "What did he do?" The old teacher said: "It's not what he did, but what he refused to do." Bai Su smiled and said: "Then, what is he not willing to do?" The old teacher said: "In chemistry class, he refused to do a simple chemical experiment." Bai Su and I were both interested in Dabao's past, and we must have thought that he had some weird behavior, which is why he was almost expelled from school.It turned out that we refused to do a chemical experiment, which really disappointed us.Bai Su and I have the same meaning, and we don't want to talk to that old teacher anymore. However, once the old teacher opened his mouth, it was not easy for him to stop talking.He said: "That was the first year he came to the school. I remember it very clearly. I didn't have class that day, and I was in the teachers' lounge. I heard shouts from outside. It was the voice of the chemistry teacher. He was a A very bad tempered person." The old teacher said while looking at us, expecting our enthusiastic response. Ashamed to upset him, we nodded vigorously, hoping that his narrative would be simpler. However, things backfired. The old teacher narrated what happened to Dabao in the first grade of middle school in great detail. Because of this incident, Dabao got the nickname "Stubborn Dabao". At that time, when Bai Su and I were listening to this matter, we didn't take it to heart at all, we just heard about it.But now, I have described the old teacher's narrative in detail. Because, at the time, this seemingly insignificant matter was actually a very crucial event.In a series of mysteries, it was because of the inspiration of this "little thing" that the truth came to light. The old teacher said: "The chemistry teacher has a very bad temper. As soon as I heard him yelling, I knew he must be scolding the students again. I hurriedly opened the door to look, and saw him pulling Dabao, who was struggling hard. The chemistry teacher was so angry that his face turned red. Judging by his appearance, he wanted to drag Dabao to the principal's office. Many of Dabao's classmates followed, and the chemistry teacher shouted loudly, telling them to go back to the classroom. " The old teacher said again: "Dabao came from an orphanage, and he may have a very peculiar personality, so as soon as he arrived at the school, the principal appointed me to take special care of him. In fact, Dabao is a very cute child with a talent Tall, easygoing and likable—” When the old teacher said this, I couldn't help laughing: "No, isn't he called the stubborn Dabao? How do you say he is easy-going and lovable?" The old teacher laughed: "Really, I never knew why Dabao was so stubborn in that matter, maybe he was disgusted with that chemistry teacher's bad temper." I made a gesture to ask him to continue, and the old teacher continued: "I saw this situation, the chemistry teacher was rude to the child! I walked over and pulled Dabao over at once: 'Don't treat the child like this The chemistry teacher was furious: "He must be expelled, this...student, this student..." I hurriedly said: "What's wrong with him?" The chemistry teacher said: "He is not obedient at all, I just called him Blow into the lime water, and he won't say anything.'” When the old teacher said this, he stopped and looked at us. For a while, I didn't understand what it meant to "blow into the lime water", so I looked puzzled.The old teacher said: "This is the simplest experiment, using a straw to insert lime water—" The old teacher just talked about it here, and I understood it. This is indeed one of the simplest experiments in the junior high school curriculum. The purpose is to prove that human breathing and exhaled gas contain a lot of carbon dioxide. Use a straw to insert into the lime water. The lime water is originally transparent. After blowing air, carbon dioxide enters the lime water, and the lime water plays a chemical role and turns milky white. This simple experiment, every middle school student, even if he has never done it himself, must have seen his classmates do it.Often, in a classroom or laboratory, a teacher will call a random student out and blow into the lime water until it turns milky white. I'm afraid that since the course was established, no student has ever refused the teacher's request. So, why did Dabao refuse?
