Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Self-Admitting Murder

I stayed in the house for about fifteen minutes before I slipped out of the gate. I tried my best not to let the police guarding outside the wall notice. When I got out of the living room, I found that everything in the garden was intact. I walked through the garden, through the broken glass, into the greenhouse.The greenhouse is very large, and there are at least a thousand kinds of plants cultivated in the greenhouse, but none of them are muddy and dewy. I shook my head, reached the end of the greenhouse, and pushed open a door, which was the central part of Professor Pei Da's laboratory. I just looked inside and didn't go in again.

That is the most perfect biological laboratory in the world. Now, even if the most experienced briber picks it up, I'm afraid they won't be able to pick out anything worth five cents. Complete destruction, ever since I came in, everything I saw was shocking destruction. It is really justifiable for the police not to allow reporters to approach the house, because such unconscious destruction is all the destructive side of human nature.People like to destroy very much. For the sake of hatred, jealousy, curiosity, and to achieve a certain purpose, there will be various acts of destruction. The destruction brought about by war is a well-known fact.

Purposeful destruction and purposeless destruction are all within the scope of human nature. However, what is that made by man?If it's not human, what kind of beast can do such thorough and clean destruction? My mind was so chaotic that I couldn't even think about it, so I could only smile wryly and prepare to leave. Just as I turned around, I saw something, which was the only complete thing I had seen since entering the house, and therefore, although it was very ordinary, it immediately attracted my attention. It was a cylindrical glass bottle about 50 centimeters high and 20 centimeters in diameter. This kind of glass bottle was used to soak biological specimens, and there must be more than one in the laboratory.

But this one is just complete. The incredible thing about a cylindrical bottle remaining intact in the midst of a mass of glass naturally attracted my attention immediately. I hastily kicked away the broken glass on the ground so that my feet would not make any strange noise when I stepped on it. Then I walked forward, and when I approached the cylindrical specimen bottle, I even more I was stunned, I could hardly believe it, but what I saw was the truth! Don't think that I saw any weird things, what I saw was very ordinary things, almost every tadpole that every child played with!Yes, there was about two inches of water in the specimen bottle, and a pebble the size of a fist.

In the water, there are about ten tadpoles swimming! When I got closer, I saw that most of the ten or so tadpoles had already grown four legs and were about to turn into little frogs. In a biological laboratory, it was not surprising to find a sample bottle containing more than a dozen tadpoles. It is likely that Professor Pei Da raised it to observe the growth process of the frogs. But it must be said that it is extremely strange that the bottle of tadpoles should survive when almost nothing in the whole house remains intact. I paused for a while, then continued to walk forward, and when I reached the specimen bottle, I bent down and picked it up. I found a piece of paper stuck on the specimen bottle, and there were four words written on it.

Those four characters, with stiff strokes and crooked strokes, can be seen as children's characters at a glance, and those four characters are: "raised by Yakun". "Yakun" is naturally a person's name, and this Yakun, needless to say, must be the owner of that bottle of tadpole. That's nothing out of the ordinary, raising tadpoles, and sticking a piece of paper on the bottle to indicate who the tadpoles belong to is just what children do.But here comes the problem. Professor Pei Da is never married and will not have children.And he is well known for his strict management of his laboratory, how could there be such a childish thing in his laboratory?

Moreover, who is Yakun?If he is a child, where is he?What is his role in this case?Was he murdered?Or is it missing? That was a very noteworthy incident. So far, the police have always believed that there are only two people involved in the case. One is the dead Professor Pei Da, and the other is the suspect Bei Xingguo. But obviously there is a third person, the third person is Yakun, who may be a child, whose whereabouts are unknown now. I stood in a daze for a moment, then gently put down the specimen bottle and put it in the original place. Suddenly, a very strange thought arose in my heart. The reason why I had such a thought at that time was very sudden. It can be said that there is no factual support.

It suddenly occurred to me that the reason why this bottle of tadpoles can be preserved is that the destroyer, who especially likes tadpoles?And the person who likes this bottle of tadpoles the most should be their owner, Yakun.Then, by extension, we can draw a conclusion: all the damage was caused by Yakun! I just thought about it and dropped the idea.Because although this idea is tenable in reasoning, in fact, it is difficult to explain it completely.Because, Yakun may be a child, and a child is absolutely incapable of causing such a level of destruction! I looked at other parts of the laboratory, and there were many cages that might have contained some small animals, but they were all destroyed at this time, and the small animals in the cages naturally escaped.

In the drawers that were pulled out, I saw a lot of scraps of paper, which were naturally the records of Professor Pei Da's experiments, but they were all torn into pieces the size of a fingernail! I've seen almost the whole house and the whole lab.If it is said that I have not found anything, it is naturally unreasonable.But if I've made a discovery, I've only stepped into a growing fog! Perhaps, after walking out of the fog, I can see the truth, but so far, I find that I am still in the fog! I quietly exited the laboratory, passed the house, passed the kitchen, pushed open the back door, and came to the foot of the fence.

By this time, I fully understood the difficulties of the police. Although the police had obtained a suspect, they still knew the facts of the whole case. It was too confusing! It was a case so difficult that it was even difficult to prosecute the suspect!I stood under the wall for a while, and then climbed up the wall. When the two police officers walked past the corner again, I jumped down and ran into the bushes, and then I left. As I drove back into the city, I kept thinking about it, but I couldn't find a clue in the chaos. I didn't go home, but walked into Xiao Guo's office.Xiao Guo was not there, so I used his phone to talk to Pei Zhenni once.

I asked Jenny Pei: "Do you know that besides your brother and Bei Xingguo, there is a third party in that room?" Pei Zhenni's voice was very surprised: "A third party? I don't think that's possible. My brother doesn't even entertain me very often. He takes care of all his food and drink. Only Xingguo lives with him." Pei Zhenni's answer can be said to be as early as I expected, because if she knew that there was a third party, she would have told me already. But I still asked her: "So, do you have any impression of a man named 'Yakun'?" "Yakun?" Pei Zhenni asked me back. "Yes, he may be a child." "I don't know, I've never heard of this name before, and I don't know any children with my brother." Pei Zhenni paused, and then said: "Mr. Wei, if things are very difficult──" No After she finished speaking, I immediately cut off her words: "Things are indeed difficult, but I will never give up. Please continue to listen to my news." After finishing speaking, I put down the phone, and then I connected to Lieutenant Colonel Jack's call again, and my first sentence was: "Lieutenant Colonel, do you want to listen to my new clues about Professor Pei Da's case?" Lieutenant Colonel Jack snorted and said, "I really admire you, anything. As long as I get you, it's really not easy to get rid of you. You are so thick-skinned that you don't feel pain if you hit me up." people!" I knew early on that if I called Lieutenant Colonel Jack again, he would definitely not have anything nice to say, so after I heard what he said, I didn't get angry at all, but instead I was angry with him: "You are quite right. , I have a new clue, you don't want to hear it, do you?" Lieutenant Colonel Jack was obviously very concerned about this case, because he finally said, "What clue?" "I think you should pay attention to a man called 'Yakun'." I spoke rather slowly. Even on the phone, I heard the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Jack taking a sharp breath, and I heard him say: "You are a scoundrel, Wesley, honestly, how do you know Yakun?" I laughed: "Lieutenant Colonel, you don't have to be angry, you might as well guess, how did I know?" Jack cursed again in a series of very nasty words, but his tone finally softened: "Hey, you won't give away about 'Yaquin', will you?" I laughed "haha": "When you scolded me just now, I already decided to leak it, but if your attitude improves, I think I can change my decision." "You have to change your decision because the police are setting a trap and hope this Yakun will automatically fall into the trap!" "So, what did the police know about 'Yakun'?" "I don't know what, the police only know... In Professor Pei Da's laboratory, there is a bottle of tadpoles raised by him, and that is the only thing in the whole house that has not been destroyed. I believe you must have seen it too. !" Lieutenant Colonel Jack had expected that I had climbed into the fence and entered Professor Pei Da's residence, so I naturally didn't have to deny it, and I said again: "Lieutenant Colonel, if we cooperate in this matter, it will be more beneficial. You think my Is the proposal right?" Lieutenant Colonel Jack thought for a while before saying, "Maybe, but—" I didn't allow him to hesitate, and immediately said: "In that case, I want to see Bei Xingguo again." Lieutenant Colonel Jack called out: "Aren't you afraid that he will attack you?" "I'm not afraid. If you want to know who Na Yakun is, the only shortcut is to ask Bei Xingguo!" Lieutenant Colonel Jack thought for a while before saying: "Okay, we also want to know, come on, I'll wait for you!" I put down the phone and left Xiao Guo's office immediately. Thinking of the first time I saw Bei Xingguo, I shuddered, but I still had to see him again! Because only from Bei Xingguo's mouth, I can know who "Yakun" is. In order to avoid the recurrence of the situation last time, I decided not to ask him directly. Therefore, when Lieutenant Colonel Jack and other police officers nervously opened the door of the cell and entered the cell again, I had already drawn up a plan for the conversation with Bei Xingguo in my mind. Bei Xingguo was still lying facing the wall. After I went in, he coughed a bit before turning over. He looked at me blankly, as if he had never seen me before.I hope he doesn't remember me anymore, because then we can have a fresh start without being affected by the unpleasant outcome of our last meeting. I stood still four feet from the bed, fully alert, of course. I waited for him to speak first, but he stared at me coldly and didn't say a word.I had no choice but to speak first: "Mr. Bei, I want to ask you someone, are you willing to answer?" He looked at me like a person who was very unresponsive. After ten seconds, he nodded: "Yes." His voice sounded very tired and hoarse. I got his approval, and hope was born in my heart, and I also said in a very slow tone: "The person I want to ask is called 'Yakun', he...is probably a child." This time, Bei Xingguo's reaction came very quickly, he immediately said: "'Yakun' is not a child." I was very happy, and hurriedly asked again: "Oh, so 'Yakun' is not a child, so who is he? Where is he now?" Bei Xingguo looked at me, he just looked at me like that, and I hurriedly said: "Mr. Bei, tell me quickly, where is 'Ya Kun'? He, if the police find him, then you situation, it will be of great help, so please speak up." Suddenly, Bei Xingguo held his head in his hands. The painful expression on his face was really indescribable. His body was shaking violently, and the howling sound he made was even more shocking. He finally called out a word: "Don't ask me any more, sentence me to death, sentence me to death, I am guilty!" I was stunned for a while, and for a while, I was really at a loss. Bei Xingguo thought he was guilty, and he thought he should be sentenced to death, so how can others help him? Looking at his situation, he was clearly in a state of agitation, so I took a few steps back. Bei Xingguo stood up abruptly, gasping for breath, still howling: "Sentence me to death, I deserve what I deserve, I killed someone!" I took a deep breath, and Bei Xingguo clenched his fists tightly with both hands, making his knuckles "crack" Whispering, his eyes protrude very much, looking very scary. I tried to make my voice sound calm, and I asked him: "Mr. Bei, who did you kill?" When he heard my lecture, he sat down suddenly. He didn't sit on the bed, but fell down on the ground suddenly. It can be seen that my question shocked him greatly! The reason why I asked him that way was because I felt that although he claimed to have killed someone, I didn't think he killed Professor Pei Da.Because if Professor Pei Da was killed by him, and if he killed him in such a cruel way, then when he mentioned Professor Pei Da, he would definitely not be able to hate him so much anymore.And at this time, seeing him suddenly sitting down on the ground can also prove that my question is very reasonable.He did kill someone, but the one he killed was not Professor Pei Da! This is another unexpected change. Who did he kill?After I mentioned "Ya Kun", he shouted that he was guilty. So, did he kill "Ya Kun"? In order to prove this point, I asked again: "Mr. Bei, it was 'Ya Kun' who died at your hands?" He held his head in his hands and lowered his head, but I could still hear him crying, and while crying, he said, "We killed him, we killed him, we killed him!" He said it three times in a row, but I still didn't understand. I said, "You guys? Mr. Bei, who are you with?" Bei Xingguo didn't answer my question, he was still crying, I waited for him patiently, after a while, the crying stopped, I stood up, turned around and said, "Please go away." I naturally refused to leave here: "Mr. Bei, you haven't answered my question yet, what happened to Yakun?" Bei Xingguo went back to bed and lay down, his voice became very tired again: "I don't want to say anything now, I don't want to mention those things again, you go, and sentence me to death." I raised my voice: "You are a highly educated person, you should know that the death penalty is not a casual thing, and, how did Professor Pei Da die?" As soon as Professor Pei Da was mentioned, Bei Xingguo jumped up abruptly again, staring at me with a ferocious expression. But I deliberately provoked him, so I was naturally prepared, and I stared back at him, and he sat up suddenly: "You asked how he died? He reaped his own consequences, and he deserves to die!" I hurriedly asked again: "What did he do?" Although Bei Xingguo looked angry, he was very rational. He said decisively: "I have already told you, I never want to mention the past, and I will never mention it to anyone. You don't need to waste your time." I really can't think of anything that Bei Xingguo is unwilling to tell others, but there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, the matter must have something to do with "Yakun".Originally, in Bei Xingguo's body, understanding the whole incident was the most convenient shortcut. However, Bei Xingguo said so decisively that I really couldn't ask any more questions, so I had to find another way. I stayed for a while, and tentatively said: "Perhaps, you will change your mind. For example, your fiancée, Pei Zhenni, is very concerned about you, and she firmly believes that you are innocent!" Bei Xingguo shook his head and said: "She is wrong, I am guilty, no matter what punishment I receive, I deserve it, please tell her for me, I deserve it!" When he said this, the expression of extreme pain on his face could not be performed by any actor! I looked at him for a moment, and then said: "Of course I can convey those words for you, but since I want to convey your words, of course I must convey them clearly. You said you deserved what you did. What crime did you commit?" Bei Xingguo was shocked again: "I... I... committed... committed..." He hesitated, as if it was very difficult for him to speak, but after a long pause, he raised his head and showed a wry smile: "Killing people, of course killing people!" "Okay, then, if Miss Pei Zhenni asks me, who did you kill, how should I answer?" I asked him tactfully. Bei Xingguo's voice became extremely bitter, and once heard that kind of voice would make people extremely uncomfortable, he said: "Please don't ask any more questions, I... can't explain it clearly, please don't ask her." Just keep asking." Pei Zhenni may be willing to stop asking, but I am not. Even if I can't ask Bei Xingguo the whole truth, I still hope to get some more clues. So I immediately said, "Mr. Bei, you didn't actually kill anyone, did you? But for a certain reason, you admitted to a crime that didn't belong to you, right?" Bei Xingguo yelled loudly: "No, no!" The louder Bei Xingguo yelled, the more I believed that my judgment was right. I ignored his yelling and said to myself: "Speak out, why do you have to admit that you killed someone? If you don't say it, even if you admit to murder, it won't relieve the pain!" I just thought that as soon as I said these few words, Pei Xingguo would yell and jump again to deny my statement. I have predicted that he will have that reaction, and if he has that reaction, it means that my guess is correct, and I can use other words to slowly squeeze out the truth. However, I was disappointed. Because after listening to my words, Bei Xingguo's attitude became very calm, and his voice also calmed down, but he said coldly: "You are wrong, sir, yes, I feel pain now, but I feel The only reason for suffering is that I have not yet been able to enter the execution chamber." I can't help but stunned.It's okay to say that I was petrified by Bei Xingguo's demeanor. Lieutenant Colonel Jack is right. Pei Xingguo is not crazy. He is very rational and calm. What did he do to make him feel so guilty that he just wanted to die quickly? He is a highly educated man and certainly has a certain moral outlook.When he said that his only pain was that he could not die soon, it was his morality that condemned him. So why would he do that sinful thing? Bei Xingguo must speak out what is in his heart to solve the whole problem, but looking at Bei Xingguo's situation, he is determined not to speak, because he is lying down on the prison bed again, with his back to me. After another ten minutes of hard work, no matter what I said, Bei Xingguo could not say a word. I sighed, knocked on the door of the cell, and walked out. Lieutenant Colonel Jack looked at me: "Wesley, he admitted Killed someone!" I know that Lieutenant Colonel Jack overheard all the conversations I had with Bei Xingguo through sound transmission equipment.So I nodded while saying, "But I don't think he killed Professor Pei Da." Lieutenant Colonel Jack raised his eyebrows: "Is this possible? So far, we have only found one corpse." My mind was so chaotic that I couldn't discuss any reasoning issues with Lieutenant Colonel Jack at all. I just kept repeating: "He must have done something, he must have done something!" Lieutenant Colonel Jack shouted loudly: "What's the use of you muttering to yourself? You have to find a way to get out of his mouth what he has done!" I smiled wryly: "I tried it, Lieutenant Colonel, you know I tried it, but he refused to say. You have checked Professor Pei Da's residence in detail, but you can find anything, for example, Professor Pei Da or Pei Xingguo's house Diary, or other records?" "No, there's nothing whole except the bottle of tadpoles, and about that bottle of tadpoles we've heard the opinion of psychologists." "What did the psychologist say?" "After seeing the scene, the psychologist said that everything in the whole house has been damaged so badly, and the only reason why the bottle of tadpoles can remain intact is that the person who destroyed everything liked this bottle of tadpoles very much." , that is his beloved, so it can remain intact." I nodded and said: "Yes, according to this reasoning, the destroyer is 'Ya Kun', because no one will like that bottle of tadpole except 'Ya Kun'!" "That's right. If 'Yakun' is the saboteur, the murderer will naturally be someone else. Then, what crime did Bei Xingguo commit?" I can't answer, because I think there must be a key point in the whole thing that cannot be guessed by common sense. If you don't find out this key point, no matter what direction you think about, no matter how you think about it, you will always "there is no way"! I shook my head and said, "I don't know, maybe we have to conduct a big search or cleanup in the house, and there may be more clues." Jack thought for a while: "Your opinion may be right, but I want to wait another three days. If 'Yakun' really likes that tadpole, he will come back to get it." I said: "Okay, you can wait for three more days, but you should send more capable police officers to guard. If 'Yakun' can come in and out freely like me, then you will be waiting in vain." Lieutenant Colonel Jack's expression was a bit awkward, but I could see that he still accepted my suggestion.I said again: "Three days later, when you decide to clean up, I hope I can help you." "Okay." Lieutenant Colonel Jack agreed very readily. He really encountered difficulties and needed help from others, otherwise he would never be so easy to talk. After leaving the police station, I wanted to see Pei Zhenni, but I immediately dismissed this idea, because my second meeting with Bei Xingguo did not help the progress of the matter at all! I went home and told Bai Su all about what happened, but she didn't have a clue. I know that it is extremely difficult to find out what Bei Xingguo said, so I hope that I will find something when I clean up the house, but that will not be until three days later. So I decided to take it easy on myself and put things aside for a while.But at midnight, things changed again. When I was awakened by the phone ringing, I looked at the clock, it was 3:20 in the morning! I was woken up by the phone at 3:20, and I always felt very uncomfortable, so after I picked up the phone, I didn't make a sound.I didn't make a sound, and naturally heard the other party's voice, which was Lieutenant Colonel Jack's voice. My spirits were lifted. Lieutenant Colonel Jack called me at such a time. It must be that the case of Professor Pei Da had a major development. Could it be that he has already caught that "Yakun"? I hurriedly said, "Lieutenant Colonel, what's the matter?" Lieutenant Colonel Jack's voice was very bitter: "Bei Xingguo is dead." I was taken aback by the old man: "How could he die under the supervision of the police?" Lieutenant Colonel Jack sighed: "It's always easy for a person to kill me. He broke the barbed wire on the light bulb and dropped the light bulb. He was electrocuted and died. When we found out, there was no hope." After listening to Lieutenant Colonel Jack's narration, I couldn't help being stunned for a while.
