"Do you need to lower the temperature? Lowering the temperature during interrogation can make the murderer feel uncomfortable."
"No, I'll just have a chat with him."
Lu Wen opened the door of the interrogation room.
The murderer sat inside.
He is in his thirties, with a sallow complexion, an unkempt beard, and long, greasy hair that looks like it has not been washed for a long time.
The clothes are also of an old style, baggy.
The whole person seems to have no energy.
The deepest impression at first glance was the bloodshot eyes.
Scarlet red, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.
"Lu Jianghai, I have the same surname, so we are quite destined." Lu Wen spoke first.
The man looked up.
Through the long greasy hair on his forehead, he saw Lu Wen through his blood-red eyes.
He suddenly became energetic, stood up straight, and said, "I know you, you often appear on TV, and in those news and reports, are you... are you... Lu Wen? The bionic man?"
"it's me."
"You must have a high status in Mowu City, right?"
"Um."
"Great, let me tell you..."
There is no need for Lu Wen to ask questions for the time being.
As soon as Lu Jianghai opened his mouth, he talked endlessly and expressed all the crazy thoughts in his heart.
"It was the City of Cree, the City of Cree and Central City that put on a show. They used the so-called pipeline incident to create conflicts, arouse public anger, and get the public to support them so that they could declare war on the city of Mauu. "
“…”
"Executive Officer Lu, you must believe me. Go back and tell those people that we can't wait any longer. We must start preparing for war immediately. Ask all people to prepare sufficient food and fresh water at home, and be prepared for network interruption... "
“…”
"This is the usual method of rulers. They must get the support of the people, otherwise it will be useless to launch this war... "
“…”
"Executive Officer Lu, if you can convince..."
"Wait, please stop for a moment."
Lu Wen probably knew the current mental state of the man in front of him and hurriedly stopped him.
He is indeed ill.
And he was very ill.
"You were fine in the past few years and lived a normal life. Why did you suddenly think of killing people?" Lu Wen asked.
"Mowu City needs me."
Lu Jianghai was spitting and looking excited.
His greasy long hair kept shaking as he spoke with indignation and determination.
"I am saving our city. Only by clarifying everything will the people at the bottom understand and give up their luck. Peace has passed. Those two cities..."
"Please stop for a moment."
"Executive Officer Lu, you must understand that there are many people in the top management of Mowu City who are also taking chances. They think that there will be no war. They just want to delay the android riot for one day. After the aftermath is over, wait until they retire and hand over this mess to the next person... "
“…”
Lu Wen was at his wits end.
He couldn't knock this guy unconscious with one punch, even though he wanted to.
Now we can only let him speak incessantly. Only when he is sleepy and tired can Lu Wen find a way to ask some basic information.
More than ten minutes later.
Lu Jianghai finally stopped.
He probably said he was tired, as he didn't even drink a sip of water for so long.
The table between them was covered in spit from his mouth.
When Lu Wen was speaking, he unconsciously moved his chair back.
"Executive Officer Lu, do you believe what I just said?"
Lu Jianghai stared at Lu Wen with his bloodshot eyes, full of expectation.
Lu Wen coughed lightly and rubbed his eyes.
He said seriously: "I need to understand your basic situation, and the same goes for those people outside. Otherwise, even if I believe it, they won't believe it."
"Okay, Executive Officer Lu, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"Looking at you like this...have you not slept for a few days and nights?"
"Yes, I'm thinking about how to clarify the relationship."
"When did you come up with this idea?"
"Executive Officer Lu, you mean..."
"The idea that Mowu City will be attacked by Kree City."
"this… "
Lu Jianghai scratched his head.
He turned to look at the one-way mirror on one side and stared at himself in the mirror for a moment.
Not long after, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Eight days ago."
“The day the crude oil pipeline incident happened?”
"That's right."
"You had this idea after seeing the news?"
"yes."
"Really?" Lu Wen stared into his eyes, "After the incident broke out, it was only the residents of Kerry City and Central City who were quarreling, and Mowu City was not involved."
"This... I'll think about it..."
Lu Jianghai's memory is not very good.
He is only human.
A mentally ill person who never sleeps a wink for days and nights.
The memories are not so clear, as if they are entangled with some unsolvable threads and separated by the blurry side of the glass.
After thinking for a long time, he said: "Yes... Someone bumped into me at that time. He was holding a phone and talking to someone. He was walking in a hurry, so he bumped into me. I remember he said to the other end of the phone at that time. … It is said that the military of the northern city of Kerry is too strong. If a sudden attack on the city of Mowu is carried out, the city of Mowu may be reduced to ruins overnight... "
Accompanying his reminiscences.
Lu Wen called up the urban surveillance in his mind.
Surveillance in this city's urban areas can basically be kept for one month.
eight days ago…
Surveillance video showed that there was indeed a man in a suit and leather suit, holding a briefcase in his hand. He looked like an office worker, walking in a hurry.
The two collided at a street corner.
This corner is a blind spot for sight.
One of the two people was wandering and the other was walking in a hurry, so the possibility of them colliding with each other was quite high.
But... Lu Wen discovered a small problem.
He could never see the face of the man in the suit.
"At this street corner, the two surveillance cameras at the corner are broken. They are obviously damaged and only the back can be seen."
"In other surveillance videos, this man also only has his back."
"I also moved the androids on this street away."
Without the front face, recognition is impossible.
The man in the suit is deliberately avoiding surveillance.
In fact, he was avoiding any place where Lu Wen could see him.
Due to discontinuous surveillance, we don’t even know where this man’s home is.
Several low-Earth satellites that passed over this area eight days ago did not have the ability to save surveillance videos and could only view them in real time.
Strangely, Lu Wen could not find the mobile phone used by the man.
The feeling...is not part of the existing system network.
"After that, you had the idea that Mowu City would be attacked by Kerry City?"
"This... it should be."
"Anything else?"
"I... I'll think about it..."
Lu Jianghai stumbled when he talked about his memories, and his sentences were vague.
Far less coherent than when he was spitting before.
Lu Wen didn't put any hope in him either.
He began to track Lu Jianghai's movements over the past eight days based on the surveillance videos from that time, as well as the androids on the street and people's mobile phones and tablets.
Lu Jianghai doesn't know how to avoid surveillance, so his travel trajectory is easy to find.
The seventh day.
He walked into a noodle shop to eat noodles. There was an old TV in the noodle shop, and a very cruel war movie happened to be playing on the TV. He was fascinated by it.
Day six.
He picked up a small card on the street.
Lu Wen zoomed in on the video and found the news about the sale of weapons recorded on the card, which specifically stated that the weapons came from the northern city of Kerry and were of high quality.
Day five.
Lu Jianghai was sitting at home watching TV.
He was flipping through the channels.
Somehow, the TV suddenly flashed and a documentary was shown.
[City Rise]
This documentary just happened to be broadcast in the city of Kerry.
"Northern industry has always been developed. After Baker City in the south was sanctioned, many military-industrial companies moved to the north. Kerry City accepted many of them. The northern peoples have strong fighting capabilities and very high ordnance and firepower..."
Lu Jianghai just sat in front of the TV, forgetting to eat lunch, and watched for a long time.
That night, he tossed and turned.
Lu Wen hacked into his mobile phone and found that that night, until about three o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone was still in use.
Most of the browsing records are "How strong is the military strength of Kerry City", "What if the south and the north go to war", "Mowu City's defense system" and the like.
The fourth day.
Some bloodshot eyes began to appear in Lu Jianghai's eyes.
In the morning, he just opened the door and was ready to go out to buy groceries.
Surveillance in the corridor showed that there was a newspaper placed in front of his house, with the headline reading, 'Cree City Couple Funds xx Children's Welfare Home.'
Lu Jianghai picked up the newspaper and read it for a long time.
Lu Wen tried to trace the origin of this newspaper.
He spotted the man in a suit again, this time his back was still facing the surveillance camera and his face could not be seen clearly.
The third day…
the next day…
Next to Lu Jianghai, more and more words about Kerry City appeared.
It was as if the whole world was telling him that Kerry City was very powerful and was about to attack Mowu City, which would definitely be destroyed.
Cree city, ordnance, attack, destruction...
Countless twisted words, like thin needles, were wildly stimulating his nerves and drilling into his brain.
Lingering.
He was in pain.
He didn't dare to open his bloodshot eyes. Once he opened them, he would see the words surrounding him.
Finally, after another night of panic and insomnia.
His psychotic brain that had been sleeping for years... woke up again.
He was horrified to find that the people and even the higher-ups in Mowu City were still addicted to peace and had no sense of crisis except for the androids.
Lu Jianghai was very scared.
He felt that he must do something big, and he wanted to awaken the people of Mowu who were used to peace.
Just as he yelled in the streets and chanted at the graduation ceremony that year.
So he was picking up his long kitchen knife.
His hands were shaking.
In the early morning of this morning, I broke into the small bungalow where the old couple lived...
[On the importance of anti-theft windows]
This shocking case, which was enough to arouse the emotions of the people in the two cities, just happened.
Blood dripped.
Conflict breaks out.
[Psychological suggestion]
[Man-made hints]
[Induce disease]
[…]
The system quickly came to conclusions one after another.
Lu Wen knew these conclusions were correct.
But do the residents of Kerry believe it
This is the conclusion reached by a psychopath and an android.
The old couple are also quite famous in Kerry City. They often post videos about life in Mowu on their accounts, which once made many people in Kerry City yearn for life in the south.
But now they are dead.
A tragic death.
Even if Xia Chuluo were asked to reexamine it, many people would not believe it.
They will think that Mowu City officials want to ease the conflicts between the two parties through false conclusions.
"Executive Officer Lu, someone gave you a gift." Such a voice suddenly sounded in the interrogation room.
"Understood, I'll come out immediately."
Lu Wen nodded towards the one-way mirror.
He simply comforted him and tried his best to keep Lu Jianghai's spirit stable.
He then left the interrogation room.
A young executive, holding Lu Wen's gift, was waiting for him at the door.
"We don't know when it appeared at the door. There was a card hanging around its neck, and the card said 'For Mr. Lu Wen'."
The gift is a dog.
A husky to be exact.
He has black and white hair, his tongue is sticking out, and his big eyes are shining with wisdom.
Lu Wen frowned slightly.
He took the leash from the young executive's hand and pulled the husky outside into the street.
Then he knelt down and examined it carefully.
[Flesh creature]
[No electronic signals detected]
[Pure breed]
[Wisdom]
[Recommend the following dog food brands for you]
[…]
Lu Wen called nearby surveillance.
He found the man in the suit who had his back turned to him.
Since there are quite a lot of surveillance here, the man couldn't turn his back this time, but he wore a mask and sunglasses on his face and tied the husky to the door.
“Husky…”
"Erha..."
"Number two?"
Lu Wen looked indifferent.
What a not-so-humorous gift.
…
Good night to all book friends, and I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!
