Chapter 17 The Second Detective & Murderer
The young man sat quietly on the seat, the soft light of the reading lamp shone on the open book in his hand, like a carpet of light spread out; he gently kneaded the beige paper, and found himself I have fallen into the fatigue of reading for a long time, my eyes are sore, and my mind is dizzy.He closed the book, turned off the reading light, and stretched invisible.
The atmosphere in the cabin was very quiet, against the rumbling sound of the plane, it made him understand that he was at a high altitude at the moment; pushing the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, the young man looked at the window on the left, it was dark outside, what Can't see either.
"It seems that it will take another hour." This strange voice came from the side.He turned his head and saw that the person sitting beside him also turned his head and looked at him.
It was a face with clear outlines, not to mention handsome; the facial features with beauty like sculptures were structured in an orderly manner to form a deep and serious face, matched with the short mustaches lined up between the nose and lips, exuding a strong A blend of elegance and ruggedness.
The man's age was roughly estimated to be between thirty and forty, and the young man was not sure how to draw a conclusion. He just quietly stared at the pair of tangled eyes, the pair of black stones falling in the white waves.
"Well, five hours is not long, nor is it short." It was the first time the man next door spoke to him since boarding the plane, and he had to respond politely.
"Sitting for a long time is really boring and boring. Can I ask you a question to test you?" the man said.
"Of course, please." The man adjusted his sitting posture and said in a thick and thick voice: "There is a boy who wants to leave his hometown and start a business, but the mother who longs for the child to stay with him has come up with a reason not to let him go. She Said: "If you are honest and honest after leaving home, you will be bullied by others; if you are not honest and honest, you will be punished by God. So no matter what, you will be severely injured, so don't leave." The son was speechless, He couldn't refute it, but he still saw through the loopholes in his mother's theory after all, and came up with a counterargument to convince her. May I ask what the counterargument is?"
The young man pushed up his glasses again and said, "Well, it's not difficult. The son can reply like this: 'If I am honest, I will not be punished by God; if I am not honest, I will not be bullied by others. So no matter Either way, I won't be seriously injured.'”
The man's eyes lit up, as if surprised by the young man's quick answer, "I guess you have seen similar questions."
"I have seen it. But before I read it, I solved it smoothly. Logically, this problem is called a dilemma, a dilemma, also known as the theory of two swords. There are three ways of making a dilemma, and the one used here is to present an argument that is the opposite of creating a dilemma."
The man looked at the young man quietly for a long while, then nodded, "I understand what you mean," the other party looked at him with interest again, and asked, "Are you going to Thailand for a trip?"
"...That's right. What about you?"
"you guess."
"I'm guessing you're heading to Thailand to solve a dilemma."
As soon as this sentence came out, the other person's face suddenly changed, a gloomy look like a deep face covered by a fallen shutter; but he soon smiled again: "How do you know?" the man asked.
"From the nature of the question you asked, and the restless and bored look on your face after getting on the plane. This is just my intuition and speculation."
"So that's the case, then I exposed my emotions invisibly." The man seemed to be a little regretful when he said this, but it was mixed with relief.
"May I know, without being too presumptuous, what this dilemma is troubling you?"
"this……"
"Otherwise, it's fine. If I guess what you're thinking now, you have to tell me the dilemma."
"It sounds fair. I don't believe you can guess right." The man nodded, his gloomy expression slightly dissipated.
"Fine. I guess you're thinking 'I'm not going to tell that young man about my dilemma'."
"I..." The man fell into thought, as if he was suddenly trapped by his thoughts, but he soon showed an expression of understanding, "I see, if I answer 'yes', it means 'I don't intend to tell you the dilemma' is correct, that is, if you guessed what is in my heart, I have to tell you; if I answer 'no', it means that 'I am not going to tell you the dilemma' is incorrect, that is, I am going to tell you .In any case, I have to tell you. This is really a brilliant move."
"It's just an application of the dilemma, as anyone with a good grasp of logic should understand. Now are you going to tell me what that mysterious dilemma is?"
The man sighed, his chiseled face looked even more gloomy. After adjusting his emotions, he spoke slowly:
"I met a girl when I was in college. We didn't date, but we have always maintained a good friend relationship. I have always had a good feeling for her. Due to various factors, I missed the opportunity to pursue her...
"After graduating from university, her family moved to Thailand, and she also had a stable job in Thailand. After that, we lost contact. Before we parted, we didn't make any promises, and we didn't want each other to bring any burden or emotion to each other. Therefore, she emphasized that there will be no further contact.
"Several years have passed, and I also made a new girlfriend. It was introduced by a friend, and I had a normal relationship with a girl who I had no feelings for her. Until one day last year, I suddenly received A call came from the woman who immigrated to Thailand. She didn’t know how to find my new mobile phone number and said she wanted to see me. The longing in my heart broke out day and night, and I immediately made up excuses to my girlfriend , and immediately set off for Bangkok. There, I met her. It turns out that all these years, her wallet has kept my picture, and she has never been close to any man; Be sure of your own feelings, especially in a foreign land, the feeling of solitary exploration will be stronger and sharper, and you will be able to see the blind spots in your heart more clearly.
"We talked a lot. From the hints in her words, I understood that she could not leave Thailand, and my only bond in Taiwan, China, was only the bland girlfriend. The girl in Bangkok didn't even help her work. I have found it, as long as I take care of everything in Taiwan, China, I can go to other places to settle down at any time..."
Speaking of this, the man paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to say it next, "It's not that the current girlfriend is bad, but can you understand the feeling of fit in your heart when two people are together? After a calm and profound analysis , Reason tells me that choosing the woman in Thailand is the right one, but I hide in my heart that I am sorry for my current girlfriend. She is quite sincere and infatuated with me.
"I made an agreement with her that even if my final decision is not to leave Taiwan, China, I will go to Bangkok to meet her again. She has something to deliver to me. This trip is to tell her my decision."
"Then what's your decision?"
"My decision is probably the same as your answer to the second question just now."
"I see." As if the atmosphere was too heavy, the man changed his tone and broke the silence, "I saw you reading philosophy books, so I thought it might be enlightening to chat with you."
"I'm sorry I didn't give insight."
"No, through the process of talking, I have clarified some of my thoughts, and I will think about how to do it," the man stared at him, "I guess, you should be a professor, right?"
"Me? I'm just a hedgehog in the cold winter."
Bangkok International Airport is full of people, and the tourism industry brings huge income to Thailand every year; from Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, Bangkok in central Thailand to Phuket in southern Thailand, all of them are popular attractions for tourists. After passing through a series of inspections by the customs, the young man picked up his luggage from the luggage conveyor belt, pulled the tow bar above it, and began to shuttle among the passing crowd. His eyes kept searching around, skimming over the people in the far and near range at an extremely fast speed; his steps moved towards the gate of the airport. After leaving the airport, he stood in the aisle outside. The sky was dark and the air was a little suffocating. Various vehicles gathered nearby and waited. There were large tour buses, private cars, and taxis waiting to pick up passengers.Passengers carrying their bags poured out from the door, led by the tour guide and leader of the tour group.The young man didn't focus on these people. He kept looking at the driveway outside and the crowd running between the driveway and the sidewalk. "I've been waiting for you for a long time." A powerful voice suddenly sounded.He turned his head and found a tall man standing behind him, with an unlit cigarette stuck between his lips, wearing a blue shirt and gray trousers, with his hands in his pockets, standing in a very steady posture.A deep smile appeared on his face under the dim light. "Long time no see, Lin Ruoping." He said with a smile. Ruoping looked at the man in front of him carefully, but felt quite strange, "Excuse me, do I know you?" The other party seemed very disappointed, and shook his head, "I haven't seen you for a few years, so you don't recognize me?" "Wait, the special detective who will cooperate with me in Thailand is you?" "Who else is there? I'm looking forward to you showing your skills like last time!" Now he is sure.Tall and straight, with a calm and steady face, bold and hearty tone of voice, does not smoke but carries a cigarette case with him, and speaks fluent Chinese with a foreign accent... "I didn't expect to meet you in Japan, Seiji Sakai." Under the illumination of the night lights in Bangkok, the Japanese detective looked a little gloomy; the blurred and insignificant existence of the bustling crowd behind him made him stand out even more. The resolute face remains unchanged, what has changed is the more mature open-mindedness and the unbearableness that has gone through the years.The vigor when I met Ruoping for the first time has also been worn away by time and experience, and the edges and corners have been removed and become more rounded. "You don't seem to have changed," Sakai laughed. "Are you still immersed in philosophical theories?" "Almost. But you, I feel more sophisticated." "Really?" The detective laughed and said, "This case seems to be more difficult than the Wuyingzhuang case. I have read the investigation materials, and it seems that we are facing A very cunning opponent. Find a place to sit down and study it! And catch up on the past. I guess you haven't had dinner yet?" "not yet." "Shouldn't you be against hot and sour food?" "My stomach may not allow it, but I decided to defy it tonight." "Well, my car is parked nearby, let me show you some Thai food." Sakai's car was borrowed from a friend in Thailand. It was a TOYOTA with right-hand drive, and the opposite direction of driving was very uncomfortable at first.As soon as he got in the car, he drove at a very fast speed. It seems that Sakai is quite familiar with the road conditions here. "I have booked a hotel in Pattaya. After dinner in Bangkok tonight, let's go there. If we have time, we can also watch a ladyboy show. What do you think?" The detective asked while turning the steering wheel. "It's more important to get down to business. Let's talk about it when the ladyboy show has a chance." "Also." "Why did you stay in Thailand?" "Well... My partner and I were sent to investigate a weird jewelry theft case for a wealthy businessman. The case has been successfully resolved. My colleagues returned with the investigation report to hand over their work. I am because Thailand is a good place to travel. By the way I applied for a vacation at the headquarters and planned to take a good rest here. Unexpectedly, when I just started to relax, I received a call from the police officer. At first I wanted to refuse, but when I heard that the person they sent to help me turned out to be you, I snapped I agreed. But you, how did you get into this muddy water?" "It's not through introduction and recommendation... The police officer who investigated the case and team leader Zhang used to be colleagues, and he thought I was competent for this job." "Those who can do more work, it is right to find you." "Sigh... I only reviewed the information of the whole case. It seems that I can't be sure that the photographer's death has something to do with his trip to Thailand, right?" "It is because there is no evidence of strong connection that we will use our unofficial investigation team to investigate. The police officer just suspects that the death of the photographer may be related to the photos he took in Thailand. In order to solve the case, he is unwilling to give up. Any clues. Because it is only speculation and the location is in Thailand, it is quite difficult to investigate, so we are entrusted." "Didn't the Thai police be notified for assistance?" "How should I put it, the link of evidence is too weak, and the swimming pool incident has also been suppressed by the hotel. It is impossible for the police here to help us re-investigate the whole incident. Although I have contacted the pool incident here The police officer, but it seems that they only perfunctorily promised to investigate again and gave us the convenience of investigation.” "I see," Ruoping nodded, then asked again, "How did you find your detective agency?" "In fact, the Taipei City Police Department had secretly cooperated with our detective agency in the past. At that time, the Li police officer was involved in it. Therefore, when he encountered difficulties this time, he thought of contacting us. He is a paranoid obsessed with work. We will not stop until it is resolved. In short, under his arrangement to overcome all difficulties, he entrusted the two of us to investigate in Thailand in a low-key manner. Because we are not sure whether this clue is right, our investigation work may also be in vain. " "Well, I know all this. The case data will be handed over to me by the police officer. Let's go to the restaurant and discuss it in detail." After getting off the highway for a short drive, the car suddenly turned into the colorful streets, and the sidewalks were bustling with young men and women dressed in fashionable clothes, infusing the vitality of the night. After parking the car, Sakai led him into a medium-sized restaurant and sat down at a seat by the window.They ordered Thai dishes such as hot and sour chicken steak, cold beef, prawn spicy salad, coconut soup, etc. The sour and spicy taste challenged Ruoping's mouth and stomach. Covered and washed away by the waves, these waves have brought spectacular and shocking beauty.After a full meal, they began to discuss the case. Both Sakai and Ruohei had a copy of the materials compiled by the police officer, but Ruohei had a special and important reference data in his hand.Those were two travel magazines. "You probably haven't read this yet," Ruoping explained. "This is a faltering publication published in Taiwan. The latest issue is 234, and this 233 is from last month." The magazine called "Travel" is about the same size as "EQMM" (Ellery Quinn's Reasoning Magazine), with a content of about 200 pages. The cover is a landscape photo, which contains introductions to tourist attractions around the world and travel notes submitted by readers. etc. "Is it important?" Sakai asked while flipping through the magazine. "Chen Shanjun's girlfriend is a subscriber of this magazine, and she offered to provide these two magazines to the police. Please read the last part of the travel notes." Sakai did as Ruohei said. The title of this travel diary is "Magic Thailand Tour", and the author is fluent.The title of the first chapter reads "Three Nonsense". "This travel diary is divided into six chapters, and the magazine is published in two issues. Judging from the content, it is obvious that the writer is a painter named Xingyun Liushui, surnamed Qiu, who also participated in that trip to Thailand, which is Shen Zhaopeng's photo shoot To the time of the weird photo." Sakai briefly flipped through the two magazines and said, "It turns out that someone recorded it, which really saved us a lot of trouble. Has the Li police officer talked to this artist?" "No, because this Mr. Qiu went to Chiang Mai again in early July after returning home from that trip. It seems that he stayed for more than a month. Therefore, interviewing him is also one of the key points of this investigation." "So that's the case. Well, let's compare the information we know with each other first, and then you can also briefly explain the general idea of the notes." Ruo Ping and Sakai went through the details of the case one by one. First, the two took turns to summarize the case, and then Ruo Ping added the content of the notes and some details that the police officer had told in person. "The contents of the diary," Ruoping said, "Police Officer Li gave it to several members of the tour group who also participated in the trip. The group members said that the general description in it was true, but the details could not be verified at all. For example, the There is a paragraph that mentions that the author and Shen Zhaopeng witnessed the strange scene of a fire in Chen Shanjun's room, and they could only find out the real situation by asking Mr. Qiu in person." "This part is really weird and there doesn't seem to be a reasonable explanation." "I can only ask Mr. Qiu again." Sakai flipped through the documents and paused on one of the pages, "But let's focus our investigation on this photo! It really looks scary." He pulled out the photo by The photo printed out by the printer, the strange scene with the blue figure. "Well, it seems that the police officer has sent you a file. I also have a photo that has been edited here; this one has been checked by experts and it is confirmed that there is no suspicion of synthesis. According to Shen Zhaopeng's girlfriend Jiang Mengli, that photo was taken by Shen Zhaopeng. It was taken by accident when the balcony was ventilated, if Shen Zhaopeng's death is related to this photo, what do you think is the possibility?" Sakai looked at the photo carefully and said: "The negative is missing. Obviously the murderer didn't want the photo to be exposed. We can only guess what secrets are hidden in this photo, and Shen Zhaopeng may know something..." "Very likely, anyway, if the murder in Taiwan, China, is connected to the supernatural events in Thailand, the two cases should be solved together. I listed the main mysteries in the case on the plane." 1. The mystery of Dong's disappearance. 2. The mystery of the fire in Chen Shanjun's room. 3. The mystery of Chen Shanjun's disappearance. 4. The mystery of Shen Zhaopeng's death. 5. The mystery of ghost photos. Sakai nodded and said in agreement: "The first and third items should be the same in essence. I checked the newspaper here beforehand. The disappearance of the swimming pool was called the curse of the 'man-eating swimming pool' by the reporter. It seems that the swimming pool was once You have to be cursed for something like that to happen." "Being cursed..." Ruoping thought in confusion, and said, "plus this strange photo, the whole thing is full of ghostly atmosphere. Even if the swimming pool is really cursed, how do you explain this photo ?” In the photo, the blue figure has a blurred face like white paper, and a pale body under the flames; together with the falling and swaying figure, it constitutes an unimaginable scene.Staring at the blue image, Ruoping felt a chill rise up his spine. Sakai frowned and said puzzledly: "If it is true that this monster pushed Chen Shanjun down, then it must be a ghost, because the witness—the painter Mr. Qiu didn't see anyone at the scene." "Looks like we still have to talk to him." "In addition, I have to talk to Tuo Zhen—the tour guide Tuo Zhen. After all, he is also one of the witnesses. I have already arranged the investigation itinerary for tomorrow, so just follow the plan." Sakai suddenly cast a questioning look, "Do you believe that Is there really a ghost?" Ruoping's hands that were packing up the data stopped. He didn't answer right away, but put his eyes on the empty plate aside, "Let's put it this way, if the two of us work together, we still won't be able to expose the true face of this blue figure." , then I am afraid that ghosts really exist.”
