Chapter 8 Part Seven: 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, the fee will be too high!Bai Ke laughed and 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 There are secrets. 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, Beck Bass. 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 a 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 energetic one that Bai Ke gave me before. 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 help it anymore, 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 noticed an extremely deep sadness on his face. 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 out your front teeth with one punch!

Bai Ke didn't answer me first, but just picked up the wine glass, drank a small half of the glass in one gulp, then picked up the wine bottle, and was going to pour the wine. I reached out and grabbed the bottle, not letting him drink any more, and said: "Bai Ke Ke, that's enough, since when did you become a drunk? 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'm going to keep you awake enough so you can tell me what happened.

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 findings and submitted it. This matter is considered over, but half a month ago, I suddenly received a notice from my superiors, It is said that there are traces of Ludaf!

I said loudly: He dares to come again? Bai Ke has always maintained that sitting posture, motionless: No, he appeared in a Southeast Asian country, and his identity is still a diplomat. The superior asked me what I thought, and I said, if possible, I really hope to talk to this person. Meet the secondary camera assistants, so I'm here! I frowned: You didn't contact me! Bai Ke paused for a long 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, and more attention will be paid to me! 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 kind of helpless wry smile: Do you still remember that in Ludaff's hut, there was a vat of bumblebees? I raised my eyebrows and said: I remember. Bai Ke said again: I said at the time that those bumble bees were murderers, but 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: "Of course, the role played by the vat bee cannot be regarded as a murderer, but as an accomplice." When Bai Ke talked about 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. Of course he didn't know who I was. I used a little trick, which is a common trick used by spies, and brought him to a secluded place." The place, this guy said 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! But Bai Ke seemed to have not heard 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 famous psychologist. proposals proposed by the family. I smiled wryly: Psychologist? Bai Ke took another sip of wine: Yes, psychologist! After he said this, he paused again: This psychologist is simply a devil!He can read people's hearts! He lowered his head and rested his forehead on the table, but he stopped talking. I was very anxious in my heart. I looked at him several times before he said: They first mobilized a lot of professionals. Follow 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 an instrument of 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 depression, 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. Conner's life is very normal! Bai Ke smiled bitterly, and his voice was also very bitter: Yes, it is normal, very normal, similar to everyone, and 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, and 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 Connors the trajectory drawn on that paper. Doctor, of course Dr. Conas said he didn't understand, so here comes 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 wine: Do you remember that box of bumblebees? I said: You have already asked me once, I remember! Bai Ke's voice became 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 bumblebee and put it on a piece of white paper. This kind of bumble bee is a soil-digging bumble 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 are codes in their chromosomes. The situation is like a computer with tens of thousands of parts, each of which has a fixed function. Under certain circumstances, it is subject to manipulation, according to the laws set by the code, which 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: Before laying eggs, this kind of wasp will dig a hole in the ground, 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. , with the head inward and the tail outward, drag the caterpillar into the hole.What do you think would happen if you removed the caterpillar it had placed at the mouth of the burrow while it was patrolling the burrow? I stayed for a while: it will find caterpillars! Bai Ke laughed bitterly: No, no matter where the caterpillar is or not, it will do the action of dragging the caterpillar again. If you move the caterpillar once, it will do it again. If you move the caterpillar away ten times, it will do it again 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 wasp on the paper, luring it to act before laying eggs. The bee crawled over and over again on the white paper. Twenty minutes later, the bee also left behind on the white paper. After a series of traces, the murderer gave Dr. Connors the traces of Dr. Connors' actions and the traces of the Scolia's actions. Then, he said, he didn't say anything, just laughed and kept going. Laughing loudly, and according to him, Dr. Connors 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 had been achieved, and Dr. Connors committed suicide the next day! I slowly took a breath, and in an instant, I felt dizzy. After a long while, I said: You mean, they used strong hints to imply that Dr. Conner's life is actually related to a cat. Bumblebees are the same, no difference? Bai Ke raised his head: That's it.Dr. Connors is a high-level intellectual. He always thought that he, or human beings, is the master of the earth and can do anything with human efforts. But suddenly, he discovered that the so-called spirit of all things has nothing to do with insects. What's the difference, 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 while, and then said: So that's the case, then what happened to you? Bai Ke looked directly at me. Suddenly, he leaned over, 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 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 my life , you say, what do you mean? 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 high, 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. end This story seems to be very pessimistic, but naturally it does not mean to tell everyone to commit suicide.However, it is undeniable that if the range of human activities is really represented by lines, there is actually no difference from the activities of insects. We are people in big cities, and our daily activities may come and go within a range of ten miles. Even if we have the opportunity to travel to other places, it is just a longer line.However, humans have thoughts, and there is no limit to the scope of human thought activities. They can go to the world, and can go as far as the outer space hundreds of millions of light years away. This may be the root of supporting human survival.Or maybe, human beings are used to living like insects, and only truly intelligent people feel sad and meaningless. Of course, these are beyond the scope of the story. "Laws" end
