Li Muye was working on a case outside the Great Wall Hotel when he received a call from Ah Hui to attend a family gathering.
In a murder case, because the identity of the deceased was relatively sensitive and the circumstances of the case were very bizarre, experts from the Public Security Criminal Investigation Bureau inspected the scene and reported it immediately, requesting relevant foreign affairs units to send more professional personnel to jointly handle the case.
The deceased was the ambassador of a Middle Eastern country, and the bodies of a family of seven were found in their home. There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, and preliminary autopsy results showed no signs of poisoning. Two adults and five children lay quietly in the spacious and bright living room, leaving this world forever.
Everyone knew that this was definitely an unnatural death, but no one could tell how they died.
A veteran police officer from the Criminal Investigation Bureau with more than 40 years of experience could only be angry but helpless when faced with this case with no clues.
Li Muye couldn't stay in the office. After receiving the application for assistance from the public security agency, he personally rushed over with Bai Qi, who was unwilling to stay in the hospital.
Because it was a foreign-related case and the circumstances of the case were tragic, everyone at the top and bottom was under a lot of pressure. This Middle Eastern country has a close relationship with the United States. The reporter was a staff member of the United States Embassy. Because they were close neighbors and had the habit of going for morning jogs together every day, the body was discovered immediately. At the same time as the report was made, the news was also notified to the Embassy of the United States.
If this case is not handled well, it is likely to lead to an international scandal. The Republic has always been known as one of the safest countries, so it really can't afford to lose this person.
"The time of death was probably around two o'clock in the morning today. The person who reported the case was a neighbor of the deceased's family. Comrades from the city bureau had interviewed him. Except for the faint sound of a wind instrument playing around early in the morning, there were no other abnormalities. ." The old police officer introduced the situation.
"They were killed by the sound." Li Muye rushed to the scene and immediately made a judgment after inspecting the body: "Someone used music to hypnotize the family, causing their hearts to stop beating and breathing unknowingly in their grief. stop."
"How is this possible?" The veteran police officer is experienced and cannot accept this judgment at all: "Music killings are not without precedent in the world, but they all destroy a person's will to live mentally, and then commit suicide in despair. How can it be possible to directly kill someone? Hypnosis can even affect a person’s heartbeat and breathing?”
"Because this is an ability that is beyond your understanding." Li Muye said: "I stand within five steps in front of you. If I want to, I can affect your heartbeat and pulse through sound, just like a The cup will resonate and even shatter due to the vibration of a certain audio frequency. As long as the performer can detect the vibration rhythm of the deceased's heartbeat and pulse, he can use the same rhythm of music to hypnotize the victim and thereby affect the deceased's heartbeat and breathing. "
"It sounds reasonable, but evidence is needed to solve the case. What evidence do you have to support your judgment?" the old police officer asked unconvinced.
Li Muye said: "The pupils, after their spiritual world is hypnotized, their pupils are focused even after death. This is consistent with the death of people in dreams."
Bai Qi knelt down, opened the eyes of a deceased child, and nodded to the questioning old police officer: "It really hasn't spread."
"Once Kung Fu has been practiced to a certain level, a new style of fighting can evolve, called sound beating. As the name suggests, it is to hit people with sound. There are very few people in the world who can practice Kung Fu to this level and evolve this ability. few."
Li Muye continued: "There is a similar method in alchemy, which is to use the sound of musical instruments to kill people, use music to convey various emotions to hypnotize the victim's spiritual world, and at the same time control the rhythm of the music with the victim's heartbeat and pulse On a rhythm, this requires extremely keen perception, and this murderer is even more clever. He can sense the heartbeat rhythm of the seven members of the family, use music to control them to a frequency, and after achieving a hypnotic effect, directly use The music killed them.”
"It still sounds a bit bizarre and unbelievable, but it seems to be the only possibility." The old police officer looked at Li Muye and said in a sincere tone: "Comrade, I would like to ask, if there really is such a person in this world, I I think there must not be many people like this, and they will probably have a circle that belongs to them. As far as you know, is there anyone in the capital who can do this at the moment?"
Brother Xiaoye was not familiar with the world of Beijing, so it was hard to answer him at once.
"It's really hard to say. There are more than 20 million people in the capital. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No one dares to say it all." Li Muye said: "The cultivation of Fang Shu is not like Kung Fu and Tai Shu. The latter can be practiced to a certain level, and the appearance and temperament will be different." There will be qualitative changes, and alchemists rely on their ability to perceive the outside world and their level of understanding of all things to distinguish their realms. The higher the level, the more they are no different from ordinary people. On the surface, it is impossible to tell whether they are high or low."
"It's like a martial arts novel, but your statement is much more scientific than those about inner strength and qigong." Behind the old police officer was a young female assistant, wearing a pair of glasses, with fair skin, regular features, a graceful and toned figure, and He came over and saluted Brother Xiaoye first as a greeting, and then asked Bai Qi: "Little handsome boy, what department are you in? The Chinese Dragon Group?"
"What a bullshit dragon group!" Bai Qi said with a straight face, "Haven't you learned the confidentiality discipline? Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
The female police officer was annoyed, stuck out her tongue mischievously, and said: "It's mysterious, as if we are not a confidential unit. If we are not allowed to know, the superiors will not allow us to jointly handle the case. " Then he said to Li Muye: "Handsome Chief, don't you all know special powers? Is this case the work of someone with special powers?"
Li Muye glanced at her and ignored her. He turned to the old police officer and asked, "Is this the daughter of one of the chiefs of your ministries?"
The old police officer smiled bitterly, gave him a knowing look, and introduced: "This is Xiao Qin. He just graduated this year. He is the criminal investigation graduate student under my guidance."
Li Muye waved his hand for Bai Qi to come over and ordered: "Go and look around with Officer Qin. Look around to see if there are any suspicious clues." He then introduced to the female police officer: "This is my assistant. Bai, although he is young, he is a division-level operations captain. Even if his skills are not enough to have special powers, he is almost there." Suddenly asked: "How old are you?"
"twenty two."
"You two are about the same age, and young people have more in common when you are together." Li Muye said: "Go and study the case carefully. If you don't understand anything, ask Assistant Bai. Even though he is young, he is a real veteran. Yes, we have handled several cases of this level."
"Really or not?" Officer Xiao Qin looked at him a few times, a little suspicious, and asked curiously: "Do you know Kung Fu? Is it as good as Bruce Lee?"
"I know the art of killing." Bai Qi said expressionlessly, not wanting to discuss boring topics with her, "Come with me."
Li Muye waited for the two of them to go out, and then said to the old police officer: "The murderer is probably a middle-aged man of Japanese descent, blind, maybe wearing an eyeband, or maybe wearing sunglasses and carrying a jade pendant." Xiao, tell the comrades handling the case that this person is very dangerous. If you find someone who matches these characteristics, do not try to arrest him, just inform me as soon as possible."
"Is it really that dangerous?" The old police officer is also well-informed, but this is his first time experiencing this kind of thing, so he is a little unconvinced.
Li Muye said sternly: "It's much more dangerous than what I said. Don't think this man is blind. If you look at him more, you may be noticed."
"The government of the deceased's country has also sent investigators, who have already boarded the plane." The old police officer looked at the time and said, "We have been ordered by the superiors to cooperate with your work. In addition to assisting in handling the case, we also have an important task: to follow When dealing with investigators sent by this country, if they ask for case information..."
"When foreign friends come, they should eat, drink and entertain them so that they feel at home. Why bother to bother them to investigate the case?" As Li Muye was talking, the phone in his pocket rang. It was Chen Binghui calling to invite him. For a banquet.
There are four siblings in the Chen family in the second sister Chen's generation, the eldest sister Chen Xin, the second sister Chen Miao, the third sister Chen Yao, and the youngest Chen Binghui. The eldest sister Chen Xin was a meritorious announcer on Chaoting TV Station before she retired. She is a highly respected, calm and intellectual type of woman. The second sister, Chen Miao, is publicly identified as a civil servant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Unlike the previous two eldest sisters who were born in the 1950s, the third sister Chen Yao is only a few years older than Brother Ah Hui. At forty-six years old, she is a full fifteen years younger than the retired eldest sister.
There is actually a special historical reason why there is such a big age difference between the four siblings.
The old man of the Chen family worked on the secret front all his life. He got married just before liberation and gave birth to two daughters. In view of the situation of the struggle at that time, he was not prepared to have another child. The old man was determined to devote all his energy to the revolutionary cause. Unexpectedly, in the late 1960s, after working for the revolution all his life, he suddenly became an enemy of the revolutionary cause. He closed the cowshed and decentralized the factory with Taizong. The old man had nothing to do when he was free, so he spent his energy on giving birth to a son.
So there were siblings Chen Yao and Chen Binghui.
Chen Yao is now the editor-in-chief of the literary and art department of Shanghai TV Station and the chief producer of a famous interview program. She is a well-known figure in her circle. Unlike the eldest sister Chen Xin, who is graceful and rich, although she is not as tall as the second sister Chen, she maintains a good figure. This time I came back with my 19-year-old daughter. Mother and daughter stood together like a pair of sisters.
Li Muye hurried over, and when he entered the door, he saw a large family taking a group photo, and the atmosphere was very lively. Just as Chen Binghui was about to introduce Brother Xiaoye to others who were not familiar with Brother Xiaoye, Chen Yao's nineteen-year-old daughter had already grabbed the phone and handed it to Brother Xiaoye. She looked arrogant and said in a very rude tone: "Hey, so and so, that one, You came just in time, come and take a photo for us..." (End of Chapter)
