Chapter 7 Chapter Six: The Puzzling Contradiction

However, that pull also had an effect. I heard Dr. Tanaka Shoichi let out a strange cry, and suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground. I immediately stretched out my hands and rubbed my neck. To be honest, at this time, My vision, almost lost, can't see anything. I only heard a series of crashing sounds. When I was struggling to stand up, I saw several things in the living room being knocked to the ground. Naturally, they were knocked down when Tanaka was running out in a panic. My neck was still aching, and I couldn't stand still. I only took two steps forward, and saw the butler appearing at the door of the living room in a panic, and said loudly, "What's the matter?"

I panted and made a strange sound, and asked, "Where's Dr. Tanaka?" I just asked a question, and before I got any answer from the housewife, I heard a "bang" gunshot from the house! As soon as I heard the gunshot, I jumped up and said loudly, "Call the police!" I yelled, and rushed over to where the gunshots came from, but I was too hasty, and I had received two heavy blows just now, so I took a step forward and leaned forward. and fell to the ground. At this moment, I heard the housekeeper shout: "The gunshot came from the doctor's room!"

I struggled to stand up and shouted: "Call the police!" I leaned on the wall, walked forward in a hurry, left the living room, walked through a hallway, and came to a closed door. The door was knocked over by me. I immediately saw Masaichi Tanaka! That was Masaichi Tanaka's bedroom. That's right. Masaichi Tanaka was holding a gun in his hand, and there was even smoke coming out of the muzzle. He was lying on the bed, and the bed was stained with blood. The bullet shot into his temple. The firing distance was so close, and the sight of Masaichi Tanaka's death was so horrific that I don't want to describe it in detail.

Although there are two windows open, there should be no doubt that Dr. Shoichi Tanaka committed suicide! I stood at the door, I really didn't want to see Tanaka Masaichi's tragic situation, but I couldn't take my eyes off the big pool of blood, and Tanaka Masaichi was shot in the head, my thoughts were extremely chaotic, I didn't actually What to say, I just asked him: Who is that mysterious man, why did he commit suicide for this? The biggest possibility is naturally that he knew the mysterious man, and it was also related to Henry's death, and even the death of Dr. Connors, so when I asked him like this, he thought I knew everything, so He committed suicide in fear of guilt.

However, the truth of the matter, is it not so? I stood blankly at the door for an unknown amount of time, until I heard the "whoop" of a police car approaching from a distance and coming quickly, and I was shocked suddenly. When I leaned on the door frame and turned around, two police officers had already appeared in front of me. Those two police officers were reckless enough. When they saw Tanaka Masaichi's body in the room, they immediately grabbed my arm and turned my hand around. I really don't want to argue with them, anyway, I didn't kill Tanaka Masaichi, it's really easy to figure out.

Then, more police officers and police officers rushed in. I was pushed into the living room by those two police officers, and then a police officer also walked in and said, "Let him go, the deceased committed suicide." The two police officers still didn't quite believe it. My voice, even to my own ears, felt very tired. I said: "You can know my identity from the National Security Agency, the special investigator, Bai Ke? , and, this matter, you better hand it over to the Security Bureau!" The police officer said, "Maybe, but you must follow us to the police station!"

I was really tired, too tired to even open my mouth, I just nodded. I don't know what the police did because I was immediately put in a car and driven to the police station. I was left alone in a room, and two hours later, Bai Ke hurried in. I saw Bai Ke and sighed. Bai Ke immediately dragged a chair and sat down in front of me. Two senior police officers also walked in.Bai Ke said, "How about it? They said you wouldn't cooperate." I smiled wryly: "They don't know the ins and outs of the matter at all, how can I start to cooperate? It's best if you come, the situation of the matter is like this──"

I told in detail how I went to see Masaichi Tanaka and talked to him. Bai Ke frowned and listened attentively. When I finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the two police officers, then reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "It's none of your business, Tanaka is obviously afraid of crime. suicide!" Bai Ke said it with such certainty, I knew he must have some grounds. I looked at Bai Ke, and he said: "I have contacted the General Administration, and the General Administration has information about Tanaka. The information indicated that Tanaka lived in Hokkaido for a period of time when he was in college. During that period, he mysteriously disappeared from time to time. I speculate that he left Hokkaido, possibly for Sakhalin Island."

I was stunned for a while, and Bai Ke spread his hands: "You know, going to that kind of place, of course, is not for tourism. He is over there, probably for training, and he is a spy of that side!" I took a deep breath: "According to what you said, the matter has become clear!" Bai Ke said: "Yes, that mysterious man must have a connection with Masaichi Tanaka. They may still be collaborators and murdered Henry together. That's why you proposed it to him, and he went crazy!" When Bai Ke talked about this, he paused for a moment before saying, "You know, for trained people like them, when things come to light, the only way is to commit suicide!"

I sighed, stood up slowly, and nodded: "I believe that too, otherwise, a senior intellectual, who rarely has such high karate attainments, almost broke my neck bone with his palm! " One of the two police officers said: "You can go!" Bai Ke said: "This matter, it's best not to announce the inside story to the press, let us handle it." The two police officers nodded in agreement, and Bai Ke and I left the police station and got into Bai Ke's car. Bai Ke didn't drive immediately, but just looked at me: "Wei, things are getting more and more complicated!"

But I shook my head: "No, in my opinion, things are getting simpler and simpler." Bai Ke looked at me suspiciously, and I said: "I have been suspicious for a long time, like following Dr. Connors uninterruptedly for a year, no one else can do such a thing except a huge organization !" Bai Ke said, "So what, Connors committed suicide." I said, "If Connors really committed suicide, then why should they be so nervous because the film fell into other people's hands and insist on getting it back?" Bai Ke blinked and said nothing. I said again: "And, don't forget, the identity of the mysterious man must be the same as Masaichi Tanaka. Before Connors committed suicide, he had met with him. What I want to know now is that Connors and the man , Why did they meet, what did they talk about, and where did the mysterious man and Connors go." Bai Ke nodded and said: "Yes, on this point, I have a guess. The other party has been using our scientists' brains. I think that mysterious man may have offered to buy Conner Tu, and Conner Tu has already agreed. , I regretted it afterwards, so I was forced to commit suicide!" I frowned: "Bai Ke, Connors is dead, don't damage his reputation anymore!" Baker said: "My conjecture is very reasonable." I shook my head and said, "No, Dr. Connors' actions are impeccable according to the action documentaries of the past year. In the hands of the opponent, the opponent has no way of threatening him, why would he be bribed by the enemy?" Bai Ke said, "Then why did he commit suicide?" I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but now that we know the identity of the mysterious man, it won't be very difficult to find him." Bai Ke said, "Of course!" He started the car, drove forward, and drove me back to the hotel. This night, I thought about everything again. Lila's appearance made me know Tanaka Masaichi's phone number. Since then, things have taken a turn for the worse and become clear! If Dr. Conner's research is used in the military, it will be the birth of another extremely powerful weapon. It is not surprising that a figure like him has attracted the attention of international spies. It is not surprising that Masaichi Tanaka's true identity is so despicable. Masaichi Tanaka and I are not familiar with each other in the first place, let alone knowing a person's true identity, even if we have known him for ten or eight years, it is not surprising. Not an easy task. Now, the only question left is: Dr. Connors, why did he die. It's like going in circles, going back to the old place! What puzzles me is: if these videos recording the actions of Dr. Connors have no criminal intentions, then even if they are lost and picked up by Henry, there is no need to be nervous. Anyway, the identity of the murderer is well concealed, so why use such a big He wanted to get the film back, and finally killed Henry! When the murderer killed Henry, he might have thought that Henry had disappeared from now on. The large bag Henry had left with Professor An Qiaojia might forget because of his busy work schedule, and they would have a chance to get it back.Unexpectedly, driven by curiosity, An Qiaojia watched the screening. After these videos are made public, it is naturally much more difficult to get them back. Moreover, many people have seen those videos, so it is meaningless to get them back. Therefore, Masaichi Tanaka felt guilty. When he proposed to the Science Association to invite me to investigate, he obviously underestimated my ability. He probably thought that I was a "confused detective" and came here. Arriving here, the result is to go back with nothing. Masaichi Tanaka was almost as expected, because if Bai Ke hadn't stayed at the airport, I would have gone back without any success. But in the end, Tanaka Masaichi's proposal became his own reminder, which was naturally beyond his expectation. Recording the actions of Dr. Connors, the matter itself, must have a great criminal intent, this is certain. Moreover, that immortal man also met Dr. Connors directly, and they intend to deal with Dr. Connors, which is almost certain! However, Dr. Connors committed suicide! It's a big, puzzling contradiction, and the whole thing is tedious, because it goes around and around, always going to the same place, without any new progress. In view of the fact that Dr. Connors committed suicide with such unquestionable evidence, it seems that it is difficult to have any results. At noon the next day, Bai Ke came to the hotel to find me. When he saw me, he looked very excited. As soon as he saw me, he shouted, "We found him!" I have been with Bai Ke for quite a while, and I have known him to a certain extent, so as soon as I heard him say that, I immediately knew that the "he" that Bai Ke called must be that mysterious man! This news also made me very excited, and I hurriedly said: "That's great, you must have detained him, let's go, let's go see him!" Bai Ke was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly said: "No, I mean, I finally know who the mysterious man is, but I haven't seen him, but I have ordered a place to be temporarily blocked." Bai Ke's words made it difficult for me to understand. I frowned and looked at him. Bai Ke smiled and said, "That's right, haven't we already known the identity of this mysterious man as a spy? They are good at concealing his identity as a spy." , with the identity of a diplomatic staff, I went to the relevant department to check, and found out after a search, this guy is called Lu Dafu, and his identity is the second-level assistant of the consulate photojournalism──Is this title strange? ?” I said, "It's not surprising at all. He must be in charge of shooting those movies. This Mr. Lu Dafu is undoubtedly an expert in photography. I think you can go to the consulate to meet him?" Bai Ke immediately said: "Do you think I will not go? I went to the consulate and asked to see the second-level assistant of photojournalism, but the consulate said that he had returned to China. I didn't believe it at first, but then I checked the foreign policy. It is only after checking the personnel departure records that we know that this guy has really left!" I said "hmm": "This is expected, but what do you mean when you said that a place is blocked?" Bai Ke said: "I investigated Lu Dafu's actions further and found that he had a small house in the northern suburbs of the city. I contacted the prosecutor and he signed the order. The local police officers have rushed to seal the small house. Let's go and have a look together, we may find something!" Although Bai Ke's expression was still quite excited, I couldn't help but yawned. When Bai Ke saw my reaction, he couldn't help being startled. I patted his shoulder and said, "As a professional spy like this, since he has already returned home, how could he have left anything behind? I No, I think I should go back too!" Bai Ke seemed to be begging me: "It's always good to go and have a look, or maybe you can find something!" Bai Ke was so stubborn that there was really nothing he could do about it. I was at the airport that day and I stayed with him with this attitude.At this time, I had no choice but to shrug my shoulders: "Okay, let's go and see!" Bai Ke put on my coat graciously, and we went downstairs together, and he drove the car straight to the northern suburbs. Along the way, we exchanged some opinions. We all thought that Dr. Connors’ suicide might have something to do with Ludaf’s meeting, but when Ludaf met Dr. Conas, what did they say?What happened between them?I expected nothing to be gained this time. As soon as we arrived, a police officer came up to meet me. I was looking at the small brick house with a garden outside it. It was about a hundred yards away. An identical brick house. It's quite secluded here, it's very smart for a person like Lu Dafu to choose this kind of place as his residence. As soon as the police officer came over and shook hands with Bai Ke, he said in a deep voice: "The people in the room saw Lu Dafu and a man coming here. According to his description, this man seems to be Dr. Connors." .” Bai Ke was shocked: "What day did it happen?" The police officer said: "The exact date, the witnesses can't remember, but it was always shortly before Dr. Connors committed suicide." Bai Ke looked at me, and I nodded, "That's right, it was the day before Dr. Connors committed suicide." The police officer looked at me suspiciously, and I said, "Lu Dafu went to see Dr. Connors that day, and the doctor left with him. According to the doctor's housewife, he went for a long time. , I just came back alone, now it is clear that Lu Dafu brought the doctor here!" Bai Ke murmured, "What happened here?" As he said, we have moved forward together and walked over. The whole house was already empty, and the things in the house were also very messy. After we went in, we quickly checked the whole house, and there was nothing suspicious. Bai Ke was already collecting scraps of paper, hoping to get some information from them. He found a lot of scraps of paper in a waste paper bin next to an old desk. And I, standing under a window, under that window, there is a very strange thing. That thing is not really weird, it's just a two-foot by two-foot square aquarium, the kind used to keep tropical fish, glass on five sides, and covered with a fairly dense barbed wire. However, in that aquarium, there was no water, and most of the tank was filled with soil. There seemed to be some things crawling on the soil. The bumble bees are digging in and out of the soil, they seem to be very busy, and there are quite a few of them. This kind of wasp is a kind of round flower bee. When laying eggs, the female bee will dig a hole in the soil and lay her eggs in the soil. Isn't it odd that this bumble bee should appear in the home of a spy who is in fact a "secondary camera assistant"? When I was squatting down, looking at those bumblebees, and feeling strange, Bai Ke had come up behind me: "What are you doing?" I pointed to the aquarium: "Look, unless Ludaf is going to shoot a documentary about the life of this kind of bumble bee, otherwise, why does he keep a tank of this kind of bumble bee?" Bai Ke squatted down, also showing a puzzled look, suddenly, he jumped up as if he had been stung by a bumblebee, and said in a voiceless voice: "I found the murderer of Dr. Connors Already!" All of a sudden, he said that, and I was taken aback, so I quickly looked at him. Bai Ke pointed at those bumble bees: "That's them! Dr. Connors may have some kind of allergy, and he cannot be stung by bees, otherwise, he will die. I think this guess is right!" I sighed: "Bai Ke, you should not be an investigator soon, but you can write novels. What kind of conjecture is this? You can completely ignore the facts! The death of the doctor was caused by drug poisoning, and this drug, He went to the pharmacy to buy it in person beforehand!" Bai Ke blinked and smiled wryly. Of course, what he just said was just a momentary impulse. As long as he thinks about it a little more carefully, even he himself can know that it is absolutely impossible in fact. ! He sighed: "Then, what's the use of Ludaf keeping these bumblebees?" I shook my head and said, "It's hard to say. Maybe it's because of hobbies. People have all kinds of weird hobbies. I know a man whose greatest joy is making friends with fleas." Bai Ke glared at me and said, "Stop joking!" I asked Bai Ke, "I'm not kidding at all, Bai Ke, tomorrow, I have to leave no matter what." Bai Ke stood up and clapped his hands helplessly: "Alright! Alright! I don't think there's anything else to do!" I also stood up, the search of the house was still going on, I just looked around, because I knew it was impossible to find anything. We left after a delay of about four hours. When we returned to the city, I was already making preparations to leave. In the evening, Bai Ke came to me again. He held a blank paper in his hand. , pasted a picture made of many pieces of shredded paper, not very complete, but nine out of ten. On that picture, there are some irregular, meaningless, messy lines. Bai Ke spread the picture in front of me: "This is put together from the pieces of paper found in Lu Dafu's waste paper can. Look, does this have any special meaning?" I frowned and didn't make a sound. Bai Ke said again: "I seem to remember that you mentioned such a picture, which is full of repeated and irregular lines." I nodded and said: "Yes, I found a picture like this in Henry's residence, and it was picked up by Henry, but I don't think it has any special meaning. It was put in the Science Association and everyone has seen it. Later, Li La also mentioned it to me." Bai Ke said: "The lines on the two pictures are the same?" I said, "It's not the same, but I'm sure it's the same kind, because it seems that they are all the same messy and repetitive—" When I said this, I raised my head: "How about it, do you think it might have any special meaning?" Bai Ke sighed: "It's hard to say, I dare not let you go home, but I hope we can keep in touch again!"
