On the police officer's head, there were several bruised fingerprints! Lieutenant Colonel Jack said: "You were able to dodge quickly, but he was a bit slower to dodge, and that was the result. At that time, Bei Xingguo was almost killed by random gunshots. Now, what do you want?" I looked at the TV, Bei Xingguo lay down on the prison bed again, with his back to the door, I smiled wryly: "Professor Pei Da's body──" "I can take you there, if you're interested in a body that died so horribly, but I absolutely don't think Jenny Pei should be identified. Unless we want Jenny Pei to become a psycho from the shock !"

His mention of a "crazy person" stirred my heart, and I quickly asked, "Lieutenant Colonel, do you not suspect that he is a madman? Has he been examined by a specialist?" "Yes, he has been examined by six eminent specialists." "What's the opinion of the experts?" "Those six experts all said that he is a normal person, not a lunatic, but they also think that his emotional intensity is definitely not what ordinary people have." I hurriedly said: "So, can it be said that when he is emotional, he is in a state of madness?" "Absolutely, the so-called state of insanity means that a person never knows what he is doing, or does not know what the consequences will be after he does such a thing. But Bei Xingguo is not. He knows what he is doing, He also knew the consequences of what he did. He just used an extremely fiery emotion to promote and complete this matter. Under his emotions, the way he accomplished that matter was unimaginable to ordinary people. , but that doesn't mean he's crazy!"

Lieutenant Colonel Jack explained Pei Xingguo's mental state very clearly, and I didn't have any other questions to ask, but just sighed: "In order to explain to Jenny Pei, I still want to see Professor Pei Da's body." Probably because Lieutenant Colonel Jack saw that there was basically no distance between my thoughts and his, so he immediately agreed to my request: "Okay, I can go with you." A total of five of us went to the mortuary together, But when the mortuary administrator opened the door cabinet where the corpse was frozen, everyone, including the administrator, turned around.

Professor Pei Da's body was in a long cabinet, covered with a white cloth.As soon as the long cabinet was opened, there was a burst of cold air, which made me tremble slightly involuntarily. The white cloth covering the corpse was very white, with a thin layer of frost on it. When the cabinet was opened, the thin layer of frost immediately began to melt, turning into tiny, sparkling drops of water. I took a slow breath, grabbed a corner of the white cloth, and pulled it off. I am not a timid person, and I am definitely not a person who has never seen a dead person, but when I uncovered the white cloth halfway, only the upper body of Professor Pei Da was exposed, my hands became weak involuntarily, and The white cloth also slipped from between my fingers.

Professor Pei Da's lower body was still covered by a white cloth, and only his upper body was visible. But that was enough, even though I saw his upper body, it was enough, really enough! Professor Pei Da's head has been completely deformed, and there is no eyeball in his left eye socket, which may have been squeezed out during the deformation of the whole head, and the left eye socket has become a deep hole. And I have absolutely no way to understand, what force can make a person's head become so flat, so long, as if a hammer of hundreds of pounds has been struck continuously.

Before his death, Professor Pei Da must have endured great pain. His upper and lower rows of teeth were biting his own tongue so tightly that the tip of his tongue was swollen into a ball. After being refrigerated, it was a Purple-black balls.There was a very huge wound on the side of his head, exposing his larynx and trachea. At least seven of his ribs were broken, and the broken ribs pierced the flesh, which was extremely terrifying. There was some damage to his lower body, I couldn't see it, but I didn't want to, enough was enough.I quickly turned around, gasping for breath: "Okay, I saw it, Lieutenant Colonel, I agree with you, Pei Zhenni is not suitable to identify the corpse."

Lieutenant Colonel Jack didn't laugh at me, but said: "Please cover the white cloth, no one wants to take another look at him." I understand what the lieutenant colonel said, because I don't want to take a second look.Since I opened the white cloth, I should naturally cover it.I turned around again and covered the white cloth. And the moment the white cloth was covered, I saw that both of Professor Pei Da's ears were torn off in half. It must have been torn off with force, because on the ears that were about to fall, They are all connected with a large piece of frozen hard flesh!

I tried my best to resist the feeling of vomiting, and turned away. Lieutenant Colonel Jack had already walked towards the mortuary room, and I quickly followed behind him.We walked out of the gate of the mortuary together, and Lieutenant Colonel Jack said, "Now do you understand the intentions of the police?" I nodded and said, "I totally understand." Lieutenant Colonel Jack thought for a while: "I hope you can explain the police's measures to Miss Pei Zhenni skillfully. It is really a last resort." It wasn't an easy thing to do, but I felt it was my responsibility to do it, so I nodded and said, "Naturally, I'll explain everything—tactfully."

Lieutenant Colonel Jack sighed: "It's terrible. The police feel that this matter is difficult, because the case must be tried in public. Once it is made public, that vicious murder will have a great impact on society! This is a Surely you agree with the most vicious and bloodless act a man can commit?" I smiled wryly: "Who knows? Lieutenant Colonel, don't forget that hundreds of millions of years ago, there was no difference between humans and other carnivores." Jack exclaimed: "But now we are men, we are men, not beasts!" I was silent, just bowed my head and walked quickly. My heart was so chaotic that I didn't know when I broke up with Lieutenant Colonel Jack.When I found out that I was alone, I was far away from the mortuary.

I stood on the side of the street for a long time, then I called a taxi and went to the school where Pei Zhenni taught. It was a fairly large girls' middle school. I expressed in the reception room that I wanted to see Miss Pei Zhenni, and the receptionist took me to the reception room. I waited for less than five minutes before Pei Zhenni came. She came straight to me and said anxiously: "How is it? How is it?" I asked her: "Miss Pei, are you... free? Can we go out and talk, I'm afraid it will take quite a while to finish what I want to say." Pei Zhenni was stunned: "Yes, but I have to make some arrangements, you wait for me."

I sat down on the sofa, thinking about how to tell her what had happened.After waiting for a long time, she pulled an apricot-yellow coat and handbag, and stood at the door: "Let's go!" I went out of the school gate with her, walked down the slope, and said first: "Miss Pei, I met your fiancé, Mr. Bei." Pei Zhenni said "ah": "How is he? How does he look? Can I go see him?" I said slowly: "Miss Pei, I want to ask you something first, and you have to answer me truthfully." "Please tell me." Pei Zhenni opened her eyes wide. "What kind of deep hatred is there between Bei Xingguo and your brother?" Pei Zhenni was stunned for a while, and a very unhappy expression appeared on his face, and she said, "Mr. Wei, I don't understand why you ask like that." "I have to ask like that, when I saw him, I was almost strangled by him as soon as I mentioned Professor Pei Da's name!" Pei Zhenni stopped in surprise: "You must have made a mistake, what you saw was not Bei Xingguo!" I said in a very firm tone: "Miss Pei, don't argue with me on this issue, it's my own experience!" Pei Zhenni stared at me and said nothing. I said, "Answer the question I just asked." Pei Zhenni said: "There is no hatred, there is only cooperation between them. Xingguo is my brother's student. From a student to his research assistant, you should know my brother's character. Even I am not allowed to enter his laboratory. He will choose Xingguo as his research assistant, they must cooperate very well, how can there be hatred?" I asked again: "In other aspects, for example, your marriage with Bei Xingguo, teach him—" Before I finished speaking, Pei Zhenni said, "My brother is a highly educated person. Anyone with knowledge will not interfere with other people's marriages!" The answer Jenny Pei gave me was something I had expected, because I couldn't think of any animosity between Pei Xingguo and Professor Pei Da.This question may only be answered by Bei Xingguo, but it seems that Bei Xingguo will never say it. I walked forward silently, and Pei Zhenni said: "You met him, and there is no result at all? He is innocent, you should believe me, really, he is innocent!" I felt very sad in my heart, and I said in a deep voice: "Miss Pei, you should trust the police's handling, he... used extremely cruel methods to kill Professor Pei Da!" I would never say the latter sentence. However, since I felt that this was the case, I couldn't help but say it. Pei Zhenni stood still again, she sneered: "You mean, your investigation has come to an end?" "Miss Pei, you promised me to accept the facts bravely." "Yes, I will bravely accept the facts, but what you said is not true at all. You can't even tell me why Xingguo killed my brother and what was his motive?" "It's hatred, miss." I sighed, I couldn't answer this question, and, with Pei Zhenni's expression so agitated, I realized that I couldn't talk to her any more.Pei Zhenni took a deep breath and gradually regained her composure: "I'm sorry, I'm too excited. There is one thing that neither you nor the police should ignore." Regarding the facts of this matter, I no longer have any thought of changing my opinion, so I just said in passing: "What's the matter?" Pei Zhenni said: "The day before my brother was killed, his laboratory was vandalized, you should know." "Yes, I know that." "That night, Bei Xingguo was with me. We attended a concert. After leaving the concert, we went to a private dance and didn't go back until dawn. Who destroyed the laboratory? Why didn't the police Pay attention to this?" I said: "That may be the work of some thieves, or it may be that Bei Xingguo was not there on the night of the destruction of the laboratory, so the professor blamed him, and the two of them may have had a dispute like that." "Possible! Possibly!" Pei Zhenni screamed suddenly, attracting several passers-by to look at her: "You only talk about possibilities, and you force me to accept things that you are not even sure about, you !" Pei Zhenni's words can't be more polite, but I don't blame her. Instead of blaming her, I felt guilty. I did shirk responsibility too quickly, and I decided to conduct further investigations, so I said: "You are right, my decision was too hasty!" Pei Zhenni obviously didn't expect me to answer her like that, she said apologetically, "I said...too much." "No, you're right, I still have to investigate, and I must respect your opinion very much." Pei Zhenni sighed: "Please forgive my stubbornness. Xingguo has no relatives. He grew up in an orphanage and studied hard to succeed. If anyone in the world understands him, I am the one who understands him. He will never Will kill, let alone kill the person he loves!" I stayed for a long while before I said: "You are right, at least I admit that there are other twists and turns, I think we can find out the truth." Pei Zhenni said: "I'm so sorry, I can't help you at all." I thought of the way Bei Xingguo was going to kill people, and Professor Pei Da who died so horribly, a person as elegant and educated as Jenny Pei, naturally, the farther away from this brutal and inhuman murder, the better! So I hurriedly said: "Miss Pei, since you have entrusted me with the matter, please trust me, and you must not take any further action, you... try your best not to pay attention to this matter, unless the police I came to you on my own initiative, you must know that it was a very terrible murder!" Pei Zhenni's face turned pale, and she said, "Then, will the murderer treat me..." Pei Zhenni asked me like that, but I know that in her heart, she really doesn't think Bei Xingguo is the murderer! I thought about it for a while and then answered her: "You will not be in danger. If there is another murderer, then he must be rejoicing now that someone has taken his crime. Unless he is an idiot, he will never act rashly again." .” Pei Zhenni nodded, and we had come to a very busy street. After I sent her to the taxi, I strode forward, met the first public phone booth, and walked in. I called Lieutenant Colonel Jack. Lieutenant Colonel Jack didn't seem to welcome me calling him. He asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" "It's nothing. It's still Professor Pei Da's case. Jenny Pei and I just broke up. She still firmly believes that Bei Xingguo is innocent." "Hey," Lieutenant Colonel Jack laughed: "You just met Pei Xingguo, you are not a kid anymore, you can make your own judgment." "Pei Zhenni mentioned that the laboratory was destroyed the night before Professor Pei Da was murdered. She believed that this incident had something to do with the murder case, and Pei Xingguo had alibi evidence that night." "Wesley, a foresighted murderer, knows when is the best time to strike!" I smiled wryly. Lieutenant Colonel Jack believed that the destruction of the laboratory had something to do with the killing of Professor Pei Da, but the murderer used the accident as a cover for his murder. Of course, such an inference is very reasonable, and It's very possible, but I still made my request, and I said, "Lieutenant Colonel, can you let me go to Professor Pei Da's residence and take a look at the extent of his laboratory's damage?" Jack answered my request immediately.His answer was just two extremely firm words: "No!" I wanted to say something more, but Jack had already hung up the phone. It was the afternoon, the sun was very bright, and I felt a little regretful. If I hadn’t just met Pei Zhenni at Xiao Guo’s place, then I must be enjoying the sunshine and feeling relaxed like everyone on the street. I rest in the wild and enjoy the scenery of nature. But now, I'm wracking my head over such a horrific murder, and I can't get a clue! I stood by the phone booth for a while, walking slowly, half an hour later, I returned home. I sat down on the balcony, without saying a word, Bai Su came to my side: "Look at you, your two eyebrows are almost knotted, what's the matter?" I said, "I saw Pei Zhenni." "Pei Zhenni? Who is that?" she asked. "It's Professor Pei Da's younger sister." I then told her about how I met Pei Zhenni. After she finished listening, she immediately said, "If you think you must visit Professor Pei Da's residence and his laboratory, you can sneak in!" "No, the police have sent people to guard, and no one is allowed to approach." Bai Su smiled: "I think, although the police have sent special personnel to guard, the main purpose is to prevent journalists or idlers, not to prevent you from sneaking into the house like an expert, so—" Before she finished speaking, I jumped up: "So, I have enough opportunities to sneak in!" She smiled: "Yes, but I don't want you to be caught." I kissed her: "I will be careful!" At that time, I really regretted why I was delayed so much after leaving the phone booth. If Lieutenant Colonel Jack also thought of this and sent more police officers, then I would encounter difficulties. I immediately rushed down the stairs, ran out the door, and drove towards Professor Pei Da's residence. Professor Pei Da's residence is in the suburbs. When I was about to reach the destination, I slowed down and drove past Professor Pei Da's house. It was a small bungalow. The bungalow itself was not too big, but next to the bungalow, there was a square building in front of it. The square building was very large. The front half was all glass, and it was a greenhouse for growing plants. As I drove by, all I could see was that nine out of ten glass pieces were shattered. Outside the wall, there are two police officers guarding, and at the corner of the wall, there are two more police officers.I don't know if there are police officers in the house, but judging from the situation outside, it is not difficult to sneak in. The car continued to drive for a few hundred yards, turned a corner, and then stopped. After looking at the situation, it walked towards Professor Pei Da's residence from a small road. After climbing some hillsides, I soon came to the back of the house. There were also two police officers behind, but those two police officers were obviously responsible for taking care of the other wall. They walked out from time to time. I probably had a Minutes are available. And in one minute, for me, I can climb over a twenty-foot wall. Now, the wall is only eight feet high. I approached cautiously, and when I came to the bushes only five or six yards from the wall, I crouched down and waited.When the two police officers turned the corner of the wall, I rushed out. In less than forty seconds, I had climbed over the wall, jumped down, and landed in the backyard. I patted the ashes on my body and came to the back door of the house. The back door was not locked. I pushed it and it opened. . And when I turned around, I couldn't help but freeze. I knew right away that sneaking into Professor Pei Da's residence was a very meaningful thing, because just seeing the situation in front of me was already rewarding. I believe that after the murder, the police never moved everything in the house. That's why the police had to send people to guard the house to keep people away.Because everything in the house was horribly damaged! The damage was so great that when I saw it, I immediately wondered if a few people could do it! I entered the back door at this time, and in a kitchen, everything in the kitchen was destroyed, not only that, but more than half of the white tiles on the wall were pried off and fell to the ground. It was a kind of purposeless destruction, and because of this, it was also particularly chilling. The door leading from the kitchen to the corridor was split in half, and half fell to the ground, so I could see the situation in the corridor. The wallpaper on the wall was all torn off, and there were many holes in the wall. It looked as if it had been struck with a pickaxe.I stepped on the broken bowls and dishes all over the floor, passed the kitchen, walked out the door, passed the corridor, and came to the dining room. What I saw made me even more dumbfounded! A rectangular table, all four legs were broken, and there were many scars on the table like a sharp axe. It seemed that the vandals finally had no strength to split it from it. Of all the chairs, there is not one that is not folded at all four feet, and the chair surface is completely torn. There is no decoration on the wall, and a chandelier was thrown in the corner of the room, and it became a pile of broken glass. The next wire hangs down from the ceiling, and it seems that the chandelier was pulled down by force. I went on and came to the parlour, which was the same, and then I went upstairs, and there was hardly a place that was not completely destroyed. And that kind of destruction, without exception, is destruction for destruction's sake, and only the most inhuman people can do it. When I returned to the living room from upstairs, I couldn't help feeling extremely suspicious! My suspicion is: such destruction can never be done by one person with bare hands.There should be many people, and there are all kinds of very useful tools. Not only that, but these few people must have extremely strong physical strength and a considerable amount of time to cause that level of damage. Bei Xingguo alone would definitely not be able to do this. From the facts before us, two different conclusions can be drawn. One is: Bei Xingguo is the murderer, and he has several accomplices; the other conclusion is: Bei Xingguo is not the murderer, because he is simply unable to cause that level of damage. At the same time, I also thought that if the furnishings in a room were so severely damaged, the noise must be very alarming. It is impossible for Professor Pei Da and Bei Xingguo who are sleeping in this room not to hear it. Noise, they will surely come out. I was upstairs, and I saw two bedrooms, one of which, of course, belonged to Pei Xingguo, and that bedroom was also completely destroyed.This brings me to another question: If Pei Xingguo killed Professor Pei Da, then he destroyed the house as a way to vent his lingering anger, which is still unreasonable, but there is absolutely no reason for him to destroy his own bedroom. Nothing! In his bedroom, there was an enlarged photo of Pei Zhenni, which was also torn in half. And I can't imagine why the murderer would do such a level of destruction. What hidden things did the murderer want to find?Obviously not, purposeful destruction and purposeless destruction can be seen at a glance.The sofa cushions were cut open, probably in search of something, but every light bulb was smashed, and for what?
