State of Mind

Chapter 221: 1. New stuff

Views:

A room with more than 30 flats, a red sandalwood-colored floor, a mahogany bookcase next to it, one wall is full of physical books, and the opposite is a huge metal-colored screen, and underneath is a metal-colored keyboard with pen, ink, and paper next to it. The inkstone, with the word "" written on it, is pressed with Tang Sancai's Qilin paperweight, and under the table is a corpse, like the scene where he was kidnapped and torn tickets, with his hands and feet tied, and plastic bags on his head. There were three men standing, all wearing gray casual clothes with guns in their waists.

"What are you monitoring? Why did people die?" The man standing in the front asked. He was probably in his thirties, black and thin, with a shrewd face. It was the detective captain Guo Lin who was righteously facing him at this time. Shouted the other two men.

The man facing him was about the same age as him. He looked better and older than him. His expression was a little winced, his head was lowered, and his face was a little red, but he didn't say anything. Instead, the young man next to Zhang opened his mouth and said: "Zhang The team is angry with you. Brother Xu and I didn't sleep all night, and we took a nap about early in the morning, so..."

"That's why the man died? Our police once promised to protect him, how is it now? People are dead, but also protect a fart, waiting to be choked to death by public opinion!" Guo Lin remembered facing countless flashing lights. When he asked, he felt his head as big as a fight, holding his forehead and staring at Xu Dongdao: "The person you lost, you will face it, OK?"

"Okay." Xu Dong's face was pale with earthy gray, like a white wall after a long period of disrepair. There was an indescribable grayness, but people were also meek. Seeing Guo Lin's anger, he seemed to be used to it. Rubbing his hands awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Captain."

"Huh." Guo Lin rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to the two subordinates. He walked outside the house and called someone. Xiao Zhang saw that the leader had gone, and looked back at Xu Dong. There were only more than 30 people on his head. Gray hair has been born, and his eyes are full of wrinkles. He looks like an old man in his 50s and 60s. He looked back at Guo Lin, who was the same age outside the house, and felt a little pity in his heart. As far as he knew, Captain Zhang and Xu Dong joined the police force in the same year, but their futures are quite different.

Guo Lin was promoted with “swooshing” because of his numerous meritorious deeds. He was already a deputy captain of the Criminal Police when he was less than 30 years old. He was promoted to captain last year. He has a promising future, while Xu Dong is probably out of luck. , I don’t know how to do it. Work is always going wrong. After so many years of tossing for so many years, I have been standing still, at most it is only mixed with "old qualifications". However, what is the use of old qualifications these years

Xiao Zhang thought that he was going to partner with such a wasteful Xu Dong, he began to sigh, and looked down at the corpse on the ground-the corpse on the ground was probably in his seventies. It is said that he was a retired scientist with gray hair and a cyan pajamas. With a plastic bag on his head, he was tied tightly, and his hands were tied tightly. He couldn't move his whole body, and his face was purple and black, and he seemed to have died of suffocation.

Xiao Zhang took a look, then raised his head to look at Captain Zhang outside the door. He couldn't help but sigh again and again when he heard him roaring. How can I say, is it possible that he was also unlucky when he was partnering with Xu Dong? Why is he so unlucky that he made a major mistake just after he joined the job-a week ago, the police station received an alert saying that someone was going to kill this famous domestic scientist. What was his name? Xiao Zhang glanced at the twisted corpse, scratched his head, and said to Xu Dong, "Brother Xu, what is the name of this scientist?"

"Dou Yifan." Xu Dong also stared at the corpse, thoughtfully.

"Yes, yes, you said that Dou Yifan is too unlucky, we both watched him day and night, he has been fine, so it was easy to drink a little last night, this person is gone, this... Xiao Zhang said, "Oh," he squatted down, holding his face, looking at the scientist Dou Yifan with a sad look.

Xu Dong moved his lips without making a sound. He said for a long time: "He called the police himself, saying that he had invented some black technology, but it was discovered that the man wanted to snatch his scientific research results and threatened it. Kill him, so let us protect, and the result..."

"As a result, people are still dead." Xu Dong scratched his head irritably; "You said that we are all very unlucky, I'm silly, this is the first big case I came to the police station to handle, and the result is... Mold, bad luck, bad luck, simply bad luck!"

Xiao Zhang is a five-and-three-thick man with a sturdy figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple face. At this time, he kept patting the floor with a "boom", but his eyes were fixed on Xu Dong.

But his eyes couldn't help staring at Xu Dong.

Xu Dong probably knew what he meant, and said in a deep voice, "I blame me for making you drink too much."

"Brother Xu, what do you mean... Do you carry it?" Xiao Zhang grinned shamelessly, rubbing his hands and said: "Brother Xu, look, I just started working here, look, this, this, this is what I handled. In the first case, you said... What can I do, I don't think you are like..." At the end, I suddenly covered my mouth and stopped abruptly.

"I know, I am responsible, I am responsible."

Xu Dong's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice, "I am responsible for all losses."

"Oh, no wonder everyone in the game said that Brother Xu is a good guy, hahahaha." Xiao Zhang couldn't help jumping up, his face was overjoyed, and said, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, don't even think you can't get it. Upgrade, but people really have nothing to say, really have nothing to say!" He said, patted his chest and said: "Brother Xu, we have nothing else, you can do it as soon as you know if you have something in the future."

Xu Dongku smiled and was about to speak when he saw Guo Lin shouting outside: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, come here."

Xiao Zhang ran out, leaving Xu Dong alone in the room. Time suddenly fell silent. The sun outside the window was reflected on the floor, floating in the light, undulating, unpredictable, Xu Dong squinted Thinking about it, this is the first time I have "professional failure"? Thirtieth, fiftieth? He shook his head. He couldn't remember it. He only remembered that he seemed to be hit by bad luck. Since entering the police station, he hasn't had a good time. Even if his ability is not considered a genius, he was not bad at school anyway. How could it be so evil to others

Thinking of this, Xu Dong was also a little depressed. He looked down at the corpse, thinking for a while that the forensic department was about to come, and hurriedly took out the cordon from his pocket, circled around the corpse, and walked to the head of the corpse. At that time, he stepped on blood, his body became unbalanced, and he fell to the ground with a "puff". At any rate, he reacted quickly. He quickly grabbed the unicorn on the desk and sat on the ground at a slow speed. At any rate, there was no sound. The mistake ended with a slight voice.

"Fortunately..." Xu Dong thought about Captain Guo Lin's embarrassed face, and felt his head was big. It was obvious that he was back to the trouble again. With such bad luck, it seemed that he was going to do it as an "ordinary policeman". When you retire, what fate is this? He shook his head, and was about to get up with the paperweight. Suddenly, the book wall on the opposite side opened with a "quack", like a magical door, "Galala" opened at a strange speed.

"what?"

Xu Dong stood up quickly, looked at the wall, and then suddenly looked back at the outside of the room, listening to the affairs of Captain Guo Lin on behalf of Xiao Zhang, because the voice was so loud, he didn't notice the movement in the room, so Xu Dong turned to look. After looking at the secret room, he looked up at the huge screen again. The screen was not turned off, and the blue light was faintly glowing. Xu Dong looked back at the secret room again. For some reason, suddenly an idea came into his mind—to see alone

Thinking of this, he looked down at his footprints and saw that his feet were printed with blood on them, so he gritted his teeth and couldn't care about it. He took off his leather shoes and wore white socks, and quickly slipped into the secret room.

The light in the secret room is automatically turned on. The light inside is brilliant, there is nothing around, only the middle table, there is a weird thing on the table, similar to the remote control for watching TV, but the owner cherishes it very much and put it in In a box of pure gold, under the sun, the gold glowed brightly. Xu Dong thought about the words of the scientist Dou Yifan who once called for help—"I invented a memory extractor, but I think this Things should not be used for private purposes, but should be confiscated, but the funder refused to agree. He also said that if I tell others, he will kill me, so please protect me."

When the police station received the alarm, they also wanted to protect Dou Yifan secretly and got the thing by the way, but finally discussed with Dou Yifan. Dou Yifan insisted that they "hidden in secret" and waited for the gold master. "Constituted a criminal fact", finally came to nothing.

At the police station, seeing the scientist being so "stubborn", there is no other way but to follow what he said. I didn't expect that the "golden master" did not catch it, and the person died.

This should be some sort of "memory extractor", Xu Dong stared at the remote control in the golden box, and instinctively turned around and was about to call Captain Zhang and the others to come in, but for some reason, suddenly a thought jumped up and made him head. It's hot, hot all over, if it is, if it is...

While hesitating, I suddenly heard a sound outside the door, Guo Lin's voice: "Are you here? It's pretty fast, come in, the body is inside."

Hearing this sound, Xu Dong didn’t have time to think anymore. He quickly picked up the “memory extractor” in his arms, turned and slipped out, just put on his shoes, twisted the paperweight to close the wall door, and saw the door. After being pushed away, colleagues from the forensic department walked in, wearing protective clothing and gloves, and when they saw him, they said hello: "Brother Xu, where are you, oops, what's wrong with this foot?"

"Slipped." Xu Dong backed away two steps without moving.

When the others heard this, they didn't care, and they looked down at the corpse and talked endlessly.

"Suffocation to death?"

"Well, it should be, don't move, don't understand the plastic bag, come back to the game later."

"Okay, let me check the traces in the room, huh, there are blood shoe prints?"

"It's mine." Xu Dong's nervous speech was almost trembling. Fortunately, he was used to talking with his head down. Even if it was a little subtle, no one else found it. He just listened to him indifferently: "I was about to pull the cordon, but I was not careful. I fell."

"Oh." When other people heard this, they stopped thinking about moving the corpse, checking the traces and checking the traces, and the rest went out to listen to Captain Zhang's reprimand, probably because he didn't protect the person well, Captain Zhang was out of anger. Sa, stood outside and scolded the world, but in the end, Xu Dong and Xiao Zhang were still to be blamed.

"Xu Dong, Xu Dong, I said Xu Dong." Captain Zhang stood outside and shouted: "Xu Dong, speaking of the police station I came with you, you are too bad, right? You are in the police academy. When I was a squad leader, my performance was not bad. I was not as good as you at that time, but why didn’t you work well when you got here? Speaking of reasoning and investigation, you are not good at it. Anyhow, you can also mark people. You also made a mistake with this. What do you want me to say to you

When these words were spoken, everyone inside and outside the room was holding their breath, and they did not dare to breathe. Most people stared at Xu Dong, with different faces, sarcasm, contempt, ridicule, sympathy, and everything.

Xu Dong stood in the room and listened quietly, telling the truth. This kind of humiliation is not uncommon. Whenever there is a mistake in work, Team Zhang always chews these things about the old sesame seeds and rotten corn to show that he is How good is Xu Dong? When I first heard these words, everyone sympathized with Xu Dong. Later, after a long time, they were all numb. It always makes sense for the leader to say this. Who makes you always make mistakes in your work

Xu Dong didn’t say anything this time as usual. He just stood in the room, slowly enjoying his eyes. He has become accustomed to this kind of humiliation, or he has confessed his fate. As a long-term failure, he is not qualified to refute. What, but today... today... there are some differences.

Xu Dong put his hand in his trouser pocket, rubbing the "memory extractor" he had just obtained, blood surging all over his body, thinking over and over again in his head-Does this thing work

Does it really work

If... If this thing works...

Xu Dong turned his head, stared at the corpse lying on the ground, touched the new thing in his pocket, and shivered suddenly.
