Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Suicide?murder?

I said: "Of course, I will give you the phone number. I want you to contact me. The long-distance call fee can be reported to the public account. If I contact you, it will cost too much!" Bai Ke laughed , punched me on the shoulder, and I punched him back.Then, we clapped hands, he didn't send me to the airport, looking at his appearance, he seemed to be eager to find the secret of this picture, but I didn't believe that there was really something in these messy lines The secret is hidden. I left the next day and returned home. The trip was extremely unpleasant, but no matter what, I always felt relaxed after returning home.

Bai Su complained to me, saying that I should have come back after affirming that Dr. Connors committed suicide. I didn't argue, but just told her what happened. From the day I got home, Bai Ke never contacted me, and I gradually forgot about it. After several months, one day, I met a friend in a bar at two o'clock in the afternoon. I arrived a few minutes early, and as soon as I opened the door and went in, I saw Bai Ke! For a moment, I almost suspected that I had identified the wrong person. Bai Ke came. This does not mean that it is impossible, but after he came, he should contact me.

I stayed for a while, the lights in the bar were quite dim, but after I looked at him further, I was sure that this young man was indeed the special investigator, Bai Ke?BC. However, I can also be sure that something extremely serious must have happened to this young man, because at this time, his demeanor was shocking. Simply put, Bai Ke at this time is a drunk! There is no more appropriate name for a person who drinks like this in the afternoon, except "drunkard". He was sitting alone at a table, of course, with a bottle of wine and a glass on the table.He leaned forward halfway, with his fingers on the table, as if he was fiddling with something.It's hard to see because of the dark light.

I walked a few steps forward, and the horror in my heart was even worse, because I looked at his appearance, and estimated that he had not shaved his beard for at least dozens of days, his hair was messy, and that appearance was the same as the impression that Bai Ke gave me before—he was full of energy A young man, totally different! I was afraid that I had misidentified the person, so when I kept coming in front of him, I didn't call his name and just coughed. My cough was quite loud, and the intention was naturally that people who wanted to hear the coughing sound raised their heads and looked at me. I didn't change my appearance. Bai Ke saw me and would definitely recognize me, so I could avoid admitting my mistake Human embarrassment!

However, he seemed to be deaf, still maintaining his original posture, his eyes fixed on the table. When I looked at the table like him, I couldn't help being stunned. What I saw crawling on the table was a scarab. The scarab is a kind of beetle with a golden-green hard shell. It is a gift for children, and it is indeed quite fun, but Bai Ke is no longer a child anyway.However, at this moment, looking at his situation, he focused his attention on the crawling beetle, as if there was nothing else in the world worthy of his attention. When I saw this, I couldn't bear it any longer. I coughed again, and then shouted loudly: "Bai Ke!"

Under my loud call, Bai Ke's body shook, and he looked up at me, and I immediately put on a smiling face as if an old friend was reunited. However, I immediately realized that my smiling face was faked, because Bai Ke acted as if he didn't know me at all, he just glanced at me, then lowered his head, and the moment he raised his head , I found that on the face of the ground, there was a kind of extremely deep sorrow. And when he raised his head, I was even more sure that he was Bai Ke, so even though he immediately lowered his head, I sat down opposite him: "Bai Ke, what happened?"

Bai Ke didn't answer me, but still looked at the beetle, which made me a little angry. I reached out and flicked the beetle crawling on the table, and threw the beetle crawling on the table far away on the ground. Then, I said loudly: "Bai Ke , what happened, if you don’t tell me, I’ll knock your front teeth out with one punch!” Bai Ke didn't answer me first, but just picked up the wine glass and drank half a glass of wine in one gulp. Then, he picked up the wine bottle and wanted to pour the wine. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the bottle, not letting him drink any more, and said again: " Bai Ke, that's enough, since when did you become a drunkard?"

Bai Ke didn't make a sound until then, and it wasn't until he made a sound that I was completely sure that I didn't recognize the wrong person! Bai Ke's voice was beyond my expectation, it was extremely calm, he said: "Let me have a drink, Wei." I said: "No, unless I understand what happened to you. I want to keep you awake enough, so that you can tell me the story." Bai Ke stayed for a while, grabbed the hand of the wine bottle, retracted it, and kept rubbing his hand on his face. I could see that he was very tired, and this kind of tiredness was caused by a very heavy mental burden. of.

I didn't rush him, and after a while, he said, "Do you still remember Lu Dafu?" Ruduff was that mysterious man, the man Dr. Connors had met before his death, the murderer of Henry, and it was impossible to forget such a man. So I said, "Of course I remember." Bai Ke clasped his hands together: "After you left, I wrote a report on our investigation results and submitted it. This matter is considered over, but half a month ago, I suddenly received a report from my superior. Notice that there are traces of Lu Dafu!" I said "Oh": "Does he dare to come again?"

Bai Ke has always maintained that sitting posture, motionless: "No, he appeared in a certain country in Southeast Asia, and his identity is still a diplomat. The superior asked me what I thought, and I said, if possible, I really hope to be with this person. I’m going to meet a second-level camera assistant, so I’m here!” I frowned: "You didn't contact me!" Bai Ke paused for a while: "Yes, no, because once I leave my own country, my identity is absolutely secret, and my actions are not wanted by the higher-ups, so I will be more noticed!" I can understand this, I said: "So, you finally met Lu Dafu?"

Bai Ke nodded, but stopped talking. At this time, I was really eager to know how he met Ludaf, but seeing his tired appearance, I couldn't bear to rush him. After staying for a while, Bai Ke suddenly laughed again, it was a helpless wry smile: "Do you still remember that in Ludaff's hut, there was a vat of bumble bees?" I raised my eyebrows and said, "I remember." Bai Ke said again: "I said at the time that those bumblebees were the murderers, you laughed at me for talking nonsense!" I was extremely surprised in my heart, but I didn't make a sound. I was just thinking, what does Bai Ke mean by saying this?Dr. Connors committed suicide. His death has absolutely nothing to do with that vat of bumblebees! Bai Ke said again: "Naturally, the role played by that vat bee cannot be regarded as a murderer, but an accomplice—" When Bai Ke said this, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I said, "Bai Ke, can you tell the story from the beginning?" Bai Ke rolled his eyes and glanced at me: "Okay, I saw Lu Dafu, he naturally didn't know who I was, I used a little trick, which is a common trick used by spies, and brought him to the In a secluded place, this guy will say everything without being frightened." I hurriedly said, "How is it?" Bai Ke said: "Lu Dafu said that their decision is: buy Dr. Connors, if not, kill him." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The bribe failed, I think!" Bai Ke said: "Yes, the bribery failed. They went through all kinds of trials, but there was no result, so they implemented the second step of the plan, killing Dr. Connors, and the plan succeeded!" I couldn't help raising my voice: "What are you talking about, Dr. Connors committed suicide!" Bai Ke acted as if he didn't hear my yelling at all. He said to himself: "The murder plan is extremely well-planned. It was drawn up in their country, and after putting forward various plans for research, their highest authority adopted a A plan proposed by a famous psychologist." I smiled wryly, "Psychologist?" Bai Ke took another sip of his wine: "Yes, psychologist!" After he said this, he paused again: "This psychologist is simply a devil! He can see through people's hearts!" He lowered his head and rested his forehead on the table, but he stopped talking. I was very anxious. I looked at him several times before he said: "They first mobilized a lot of professionals. In one year, Keep following Dr. Connors and record all his outdoor actions." I said: "We already know this, so what's the use? How can this be used as a tool for murder?" Bai Ke glanced at me, and when he looked at me, I couldn't help being stunned, because his eyes were full of disappointment and despair, he was a young man full of vitality, in his In his eyes, there really shouldn't be such a look. Bai Ke sighed: "You have seen those documentary films, what do you think?" I immediately said: "Nothing special, Dr. Connors' life is very normal!" Bai Ke smiled bitterly, and his voice was also very bitter: "Yes, it's normal, very normal, just like everyone else, almost everyone lives like that." I said, "Yes, what's wrong with that?" Bai Ke continued: "Then, on a piece of paper, they showed Dr. Connors' actions over the past year with lines. I think you have seen this piece of paper. There are repeated lines on the paper. !" I nodded and said, "Yes, those lines turned out to be a set of trajectories, indicating the range of activities of Dr. Connors!" Bai Ke said: "Yes, at this point, their plan has been half completed, so someone went to see Dr. Connors, took him to watch those documentaries, and then gave Connor the trajectory drawn on that paper. Dr. Shi, of course Dr. Connors said he didn't understand, so it's time for the most important part of their plan!" I am still full of doubts, but I know that under the current situation, it is best not to interrupt Baike's conversation. Bai Ke took another sip of his wine: "Do you remember that box of bumblebees?" I said: "You have already asked me once, I remember!" Bai Ke's voice became even deeper: "The murderer──" After he said the word "murderer", he paused for a while. I naturally knew who he was referring to by the word "murderer", so I didn't express any objection, but nodded knowingly. Bai Ke continued: "The murderer took out a bumble bee and put it on a piece of white paper. This kind of bumble bee is a digging bee, similar to all insects, and their actions are regular. From larvae to adults, their actions in the future have almost become an instinct. There is a code in their chromosomes. The situation is like a computer with tens of thousands of parts, each of which has a fixed Under certain circumstances, it is subject to manipulation, according to the rules set by the code, and will never change." I listened attentively, Bai Ke's words were very incomprehensible.But I can still understand, but for the time being, I still don't understand why he said these words. Bai Ke continued: "This kind of wasp will dig a hole in the ground before laying eggs, and then find a caterpillar. After finding the caterpillar, it will go into the hole to inspect it, and then come out of the hole to catch the caterpillar. Finally, with the head in and the tail out, the caterpillar is dragged into the hole. If you remove the caterpillar it puts at the mouth of the hole while it's patrolling the hole, guess what will happen?" I froze for a moment: "It will find caterpillars!" Bai Ke laughed "Jie Jie": "No, it doesn't matter whether the caterpillar is there or not, it will do the action of dragging the caterpillar again. If you remove the caterpillar once, it will do it again. If you remove the caterpillar ten times, it will do it again. Do it ten times, this is the law given to it by its life code!" I took a breath, but still didn't understand what Bai Ke meant when he said that these bumblebees moved regularly. Bai Ke shook the wine glass: "The murderer put the bumble bee on the paper to lure it to act before laying eggs. The bumble bee crawled over and over again on the white paper. , also left a series of traces, the murderer gave Dr. Connors the traces of Dr. Connors' actions and the traces of the Scolia actions, and then he said that he didn't say anything, just Laughed, and kept laughing, and Dr. Connors, he said, looked pale and staggered away." Bai Ke clenched his fist with his right hand and knocked hard on the table: "By this time, the murderer's goal has been achieved. Dr. Connors committed suicide the next day!" I took a breath slowly, and in an instant, I felt dizzy. After a while, I said: "You mean, they used strong hints to imply that Dr. Conner's life is actually the same as a Just the same as a bumblebee, no difference?" Bai Ke raised his head: "That's it. Dr. Conas is a high-level intellectual. He always thought that he, or human beings, was the master of the earth, and could do anything with human efforts, but suddenly, He discovered that the so-called spirits of all things are no different from insects, just imagine, how could he still be interested in living?" "I have no interest in living", this is the first time I have heard this statement, but I believe without reservation that Dr. Connors did commit suicide under such circumstances. I stayed for a long while before I said, "So that's the case, then what happened to you?" Bai Ke looked directly at me. Suddenly, he bent down, groped the ground for a while, caught the beetle again, put it on the table, let it crawl slowly, and said: "Me? What do you want me to do, my life is the same as an insect, I just live like an insect!" I took a breath: "You—you often travel thousands of miles and live in a wide range—" Bai Ke immediately said: "Even if I travel every day, even if I often travel between the major planets, my activities can also be drawn as traces, a regular line established by the genetic code, this is me. What's the point of your life, you say?" I looked at Bai Ke, unable to answer his question, and, involuntarily, I picked up the wine bottle and swallowed a mouthful of strong wine. When the spirits got into me and I started to feel a little bit of a swell, I started to understand.I began to understand why there are so many drunks in that city, why marijuana is so popular, the more knowledgeable people are, the more they think about the meaning of being alive, insects don't think about it, It has a certain pattern in its life, and it will live like this, and fools will not think about it, and it will live like this! However, educated people will think: What is the meaning of living a life that is not different from insects in essence? I kept drinking, and I didn't know if the friend I was dating was here, because I kept drinking until I didn't know anything, and I couldn't think at all.
