Bei Xingguo committed suicide without waiting for the judgment of the law. From this, it can be seen that he really did something that made him feel extremely guilty, otherwise, he would never have done that. I hurriedly asked again: "Do you have a last word?" "Yes, he wrote a few words on the wall with the removed wire." "Read to me, read to me quickly." "He wrote it like this: 'I died and deserved it. Don't investigate our deaths. Don't investigate.' Just a few words!" I took a breath: "He seemed to mean that Professor Pei Da's death, like him, deserved it!"

"It seems that there is such a meaning, but it is ambiguous. In his last words, one thing is certain: he and Professor Pei Da must have committed a great crime during their lifetime!" "That's right, I have exactly the same opinion as you, what we have to do now is—" I was only halfway through when Lieutenant Colonel Jack took it up and said, "──We will thoroughly search and clean up Professor Pei Da's residence!" I immediately said, "When are you going to start?" "When will it start, naturally now, I will wait for you there, and you will come immediately to see what we can find."

Lieutenant Colonel Jack's tone was very anxious, that was inevitable.Because he must not be able to hide the news of Bei Xingguo's suicide.And when the news got out, the police would be criticized from all sides. This kind of accusation may be very severe, and the only way to alleviate this kind of accusation is to find evidence that Bei Xingguo deserved it and make it public. I immediately jumped up from the bed, put on my clothes and shoes, ran out, jumped into the car, increased the speed to eighty miles per hour, and rushed to Professor Pei Da's residence. I was already counting fast, but Jack was earlier than me Well, when I arrived, the whole house was brightly lit!

Jack directed at least a hundred police officers to work, and I found Jack who was yelling: "Lieutenant Colonel, we can't mess around, the pieces found in every place must be put together, and the pieces of paper belong to the pieces of paper. Shards of wood must be classified into different categories, and the most important thing is the pieces of paper, no matter how small they are, they must be grouped together, please tell your subordinates quickly." Jack followed my instructions, and the two of us, each with five police officers, went to the most important places. He went to Professor Pei Da's study, and I went to Pei Xingguo's bedroom.

Without delay, I immediately cleaned up all the pieces of paper in Bei Xingguo's room. Those police officers picked up all the pieces of paper and put them in a bamboo basket, and I poured out the pieces of paper and sorted them into categories. The pieces of paper that I picked up can be divided into several categories, many of them are letters, especially letters from Pei Zhenni. I have already read Bei Xingguo's handwriting by heart, and picked out all the words that were not in his handwriting. Then I classified them, and I saw that there are two categories, one is miscellaneous notes on his work and experiments, and the other is manuscripts with rather scribbled handwriting. Xingguo is writing a literary romance novel.

Naturally, there will be no information I want in that kind of novel, so I will pick it out again. At that time, a police officer came with a piece of paper the size of a palm and said: "Here is a more complete piece of paper , because it was stuffed into the seam of the drawer, so it didn't tear up." The piece of paper was actually torn, but there was finally a complete sentence on the piece of paper. There was a date on it, which was half a year ago, and then a line of words: Synthesis Plan opened the sentence today, naturally it should be "Synthesis Plan" Start today", but the word "beginning" was torn off.

That's useless, the "Synthesis Project" is naturally one of their experimental tasks, and what we are looking for is clues to the major suspects in the murder, so I immediately put the piece of paper aside. I was busy for another hour or so, but I didn't notice it. I went to see Jack in Professor Pei Da's study.Jack, sweating profusely, is also doing what I do, sorting all the scraps of paper. He saw me and quickly waved to me: "Come on, come on, look at this, does it have any special meaning?" I looked at what he was pointing at. On the table, he made a kind of light green hard paper into an incomplete rectangle. It was the side of an excerpt book, with the words "synthesis plan" written on it. .

Next to those four words, there is another line of small words: epoch-making plan. I frowned: "I don't see any special significance. Over there, I also saw a piece of paper with the words synthesis plan, but that just proved that it was a plan for their experiment." Jack asked me, "What are they trying to synthesize?" "Of course I don't know. Maybe it's artificial insulin, or maybe it's a further life-like protein. You just need to go to the university to find out. I don't think it has anything to do with the case." Jack sighed: "Then, I don't believe I can find anything, and I can't find any records about 'Ya Kun'. I just found out that the professor also bet on horses!"

I was stunned: "What does this mean?" Jack piled the piles of cards on the table in front of me, and said, "Look for yourself." I picked up some of them and spread them out in the palm of my hand. Two had a "Q" written on them, followed by numbers.The numbers are very simple, all two-digit numbers, with a maximum of eighteen. I smiled wryly, and said, "You think the professor is betting on winning streaks?" "I think so." I was about to throw those fragments away, but suddenly, my heart suddenly moved, and I said: "Lieutenant Colonel, the professor is a very regular person, he can't be a gambler!"

Jack was stunned for a moment, and said, "Normally not, but what's the meaning of the word Q?" "Lieutenant Colonel, look at the letter Q, does it mean 'Yakun'?" Jack was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned around and said, "Both of you, work together to put this stack of fragments together, and try to get it back to its original shape." "Yes!" The two police officers took the pile of papers, and I inadvertently saw a date on a piece of paper. I am very familiar with that date because I have seen it before. Exactly the date when the "Synthesis Project" started!

This can be said to be a very important discovery! This connects the numbers on the shredded paper with the "synthesis plan".And if "Q" represents "Yakun", then the synthesis plan is also related to the whole matter. Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Jack and I were very excited. We pieced together all the relevant pieces of paper.But it didn't take long before we were disappointed again.First, we can't find any conclusive evidence that "Q" represents "Yakun".I can't find any conclusive evidence, it's all just speculation on my part.Second, from the scraps of paper we made up, those numbers mean nothing at all, except for the date. That date is the date when the "Synthesis Project" started, and what the rest of the numbers replaced, only God knows. Lieutenant Colonel Jack and I were both really tired. We sat down on the ground and smiled wryly. Lieutenant Colonel Jack spoke first, and he shook his head: "There is no result, nothing at all. Alas, I think we have to put all the materials in the file and list it as an unsolved case!" Lieutenant Colonel Jack was about to drop the case. Indeed, this case can be included in the "unsolved case" because there is a deceased person and a suspect in the case, and the suspect "suicide in fear of crime" , Then naturally there is nothing to continue to investigate. Colonel Jack would not have been negligent if he had not asked about it, for the whole matter was mysterious and beyond the scope of police work. But I have no intention of giving up. The more mysterious the matter is, the more I want to find out its truth. So, I was stunned for a while, and then said: "Lieutenant Colonel, if you want to file this case, then hand it over to me as a private investigator. Whether there is a result or not, it's none of your business, okay?" ?” Lieutenant Colonel Jack also looked at me for a while before saying, "You seem to be threatening me with something?" "No, no, I don't mean that, I mean, as far as the work of the police is concerned, that's the end of it!" "Hmph, that's only if someone with too much curiosity like you stops moving!" "Lieutenant Colonel, I am in charge of my activities. I am operating in secret. If I don't make my activities public, it has nothing to do with you!" Lieutenant Colonel Jack said every word: "Remember, don't make it public!" I nodded, and Lieutenant Colonel Jack stood up: "Well, goodbye, I decided to retreat, go back and write a report, and forget about it from now on, please don't bring it up in front of me again." This is of course the "condition" of Lieutenant Colonel Jack.Such conditions were very easy to accept, and he nodded immediately. Jack stood up and ordered the team to withdraw. The actions of the police officers have been well-trained. Within fifteen minutes, all the police officers went back and left the residence of Professor Pei Da. I heard the sound of police cars leaving one after another. All lights were turned off, only the one where I was was still on. It was still noisy just now, and in the house that was almost turned upside down, there was no sound at all.I looked out the window, the sky was already dark. I stood up, paced back and forth a few times, and decided what I should do in the future: ask the university about what happened to Professor Pei Da's "Synthesis Project".To investigate the whereabouts of "Yakun", he is a major key in the case. My mind was in chaos, I turned off the light, and sat down against the wall. The morning light was hazy, and I opened my eyes to rest my mind, wanting to take a break before dawn. Of course, I couldn't sleep, my mind was racing, and I didn't know how many things I had to think about. In the end, I came to a conclusion. From what Bei Xingguo said during my second meeting with Bei Xingguo, it can be seen that Pei Xingguo and Professor Pei Da must have worked together to do something sinful and unspeakable. people thing. Because Bei Xingguo said that Professor Pei Da "deserved his crimes and deserved his death".And also confessed his own "guilty", and in the end, he even committed suicide for his own sin! I can also speculate about the relationship between the two criminals: Professor Pei Da took the initiative, and Bei Xingguo was dragged into the water, so Bei Xingguo hated Professor Pei Da so much. When I thought of this, I was even more astonished. What exactly are Professor Pei Da and Bei Xingguo doing?That can be too much speculation.The two of them may be working with a large-scale drug trafficking group to use a newly invented method to manufacture drugs in large quantities!The two of them may also hand over new biological discoveries to foreign spy groups, and the two of them may... When I was meditating on these ideas, my head was about to swell, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh. And following my long sigh, I suddenly heard a "crash" sound outside the house. Listening to it in the silence of the early morning, that sound can be said to be quite astonishing! I stood up immediately, ran to the window, and looked out following the sound.I only glanced outside, and I was sure that the sound came from the laboratory. I immediately rushed out the door and ran to the laboratory.Everything in the laboratory seems to be no different from the last time I sneaked in, it is still so messy. However, I immediately discovered that a wooden shelf had fallen down, because that wooden shelf happened to be in front of the door. If it had fallen down already, then I must not have been able to enter the laboratory smoothly last time. And the possibility of the wooden frame falling down by itself is very small, so I stood still immediately and shouted: "Who? Who is here!" I didn't say anything more, the two of us faced each other silently, and later, in an extremely perplexed mood, the sun shone into the laboratory, allowing me to see everything in the laboratory more clearly. And when my eyes stayed on the central part of the laboratory, I couldn't help being stunned: the bottle of tadpoles was gone! That bottle of tadpoles, that bottle let us know that there is a tadpole named "Yakun"! Lieutenant Colonel Jack kept the bottle of tadpoles on purpose, hoping that "Yakun" would come back for it, and now it's gone. Did "Yakun" come back to fetch it?Was the wooden frame knocked down by "Yakun" when he left with the bottle of tadpole? "Ya Kun" may have been watching nearby, but he didn't dare to come because there were police officers outside the house all the time, and now he came as soon as the police officers retreated! If my guess is correct, then "Yakun" must not be far away, I can catch him! I quickly exited the laboratory, "Yakun" might go straight to the road, so I also ran to the side of the road, but I couldn't see anyone, I shouted: "'Yakun', come out, I have Talk to you!" I called seven or eight times in a row, but no one answered me. Some cars passing by on the road even stopped to look at me.I knew it was useless to just call out, so I started searching in the bushes by the roadside again. I found a path in the bushes, which led to a hillside. I followed that path and went around. The hillside, what I saw was a rather desolate hilltop. I yelled again: "'Yakun', 'Yakun'!" In the open place, my cry caused echoes.But still got no answer. I had already decided to give up the search, but at this moment, when I lowered my head, I saw a round glass cover not far from my feet.That's the cap of the specimen bottle!That discovery made me extremely happy! I speculate that the reason why the wooden frame fell was because "Yakun" knocked down when he hurriedly exited after taking the bottle of tadpoles from the laboratory, because the bottle of tadpoles in the laboratory also disappeared at the same time. But now, I saw the glass bottle cap here again, so "Yakun" brought the bottle of tadpoles, so he naturally came in this direction. I just need to keep going, and I can find him. In the whole mysterious thing, "Yakun" is an extremely important person. Now, I can have the certainty of meeting him, that is to say, I can uncover the mystery of the whole thing, in my heart How can you be unhappy? I quickly quickened my pace and walked forward. After a while, after passing through a large bush, I came to a very narrow cave entrance. There seemed to be no doubt that "Yakun" was in the cave! I yelled into the cave: "'Yakun'! 'Yakun'!" My voice echoed in the cave. From the echoes, although the entrance of the cave is very narrow, the inside must be very spacious. I yelled a few times, but couldn't hear anything but the echo. I said again: "'Yakun', I know you are in the cave, I came in to find you, you don't have to be afraid, I have no malice towards you." As soon as I knew the name "Ya Kun", I concluded that he was a child, but Bei Xingguo said that he was not a child, even if he was not a child, then he must be a childish person, otherwise, why would he keep him What about the bottle of tadpoles? Adults may also raise a bottle of tadpoles, but adults will never go back to Professor Pei Da's laboratory to retrieve the bottle of tadpoles after such a thing happened! Therefore, I would like to say a few words first to coax "Yakun" in the cave to show that I have no malicious intentions, so that he will stop avoiding me. And just as that sentence was out of my mouth, I heard the sound of glass shattering in the depths of the cave! Originally, I expected that "Yakun" was in the cave, which was just an inference, but after hearing the sound of glass breaking, it was already a 100% fact. I lowered my head and cast into the cave. As I expected, although the entrance of the cave is quite narrow, the inside is very wide. But it is also because the entrance of the cave is very narrow, so it is very dark inside the cave, and nothing can be seen. I didn't plan to be in a dark environment, so I didn't bring a flashlight. Originally, I could use a lighter for lighting, but I didn't do that. For one thing, the effect of lighter lighting is not very good.Second, after entering the cave, a gust of damp and cool air reminded me that I might be in a very dangerous situation.Because destroying the professor's residence and killing the professor may also be done by "Yakun". So, not only did I never light the lighter, but I walked out sideways while slowing down my steps. I didn't continue to walk until my hands could touch the wet cave wall. Every ten steps or so I walked, I stopped and listened for a while, hoping to hear some sound so as to confirm the location of "Yakun". However, I couldn't hear any sound. The cave was extremely quiet. Within half an hour, I went around the cave, but I still didn't know where "Yakun" was. I had no choice but to speak: "'Yakun'!" My voice was not very high, but the echo in the cave was very astonishing, it almost sounded like a "boom", and it suddenly sounded, which startled me too. In the booming echo, I suddenly heard a roaring sound to my left. The voice was not very loud, but it sounded horrifying. I quickly turned to the left: "'Yakun', I know where you are, come out, come out of the cave with me!" As I said that, I looked forward vigorously. I have been in the cave for more than half an hour, unlike when I first came in, there was only darkness in front of my eyes.But looking forward, it is still very difficult to see clearly. If there is someone in the cave and that person is just squatting or standing still, I still can't see him.But now I see a black shadow moving.
