"That's right." The female reporter wore black-rimmed glasses with a serious face, and pointed to the video: "Look at the scientist lying on the ground with a plastic bag on his head with his hands and feet tied up. Just ask, how did he tie his hands and feet? Obviously, the person next to him tied his hands and feet. The plastic bag was also put on by others, and then the others got out of the way. Someone recorded his death video, you know. ?"

"Yep."

Others seemed to react, and nodded one after another.

Guo Lin kept asking: "Where did this video come from? Why did you give it to Xu Dong and not me?"

"No, Captain, we don't know about this." The others in the team shook their heads: "No."

Guo Lin asked for a while, feeling very depressed. At this time, the director grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "Where did this video tape come from? Did it come at noon?"

The words awakened the dreamer, and Guo Lin quickly grabbed Xiao Zhang and said: "Quickly, go to the doorman below and ask if someone is coming to Xu Dong at noon." Having said this, he suddenly regretted it. Asking Xu Dong to make a fool of himself, this allowed Xu Dong to take over the job. Unexpectedly, he was self-defeating and gave Xu Dong key evidence. The damn thing is that Xu Dong was so bored that he didn’t tell him, so he published it directly at the press conference. After the incident went back, De'er, it was definitely "too late to tell" to shirk, so wouldn't it be because he robbed him of the credit

Thinking of this, Guo Lin couldn't help getting angry, frowning and staring at Xu Dong.

At this time everyone is also questioning Xu Dongdao: "How did you know that you committed suicide? If this video was recorded by someone else, it just didn't record you."

"Yes, yes." The others agreed.

Xu Dong smiled slightly, and suddenly looked back at Guo Lin, and waved to Guo Lin: "Captain Zhang, Captain Zhang, come here."

Guo Lin was stunned. He didn't know where Xu Dong had the courage to greet him like this. However, under the gaze of the crowd, it was not easy to refute face, so he walked forward and smiled reluctantly: "What's the matter? Xu Dong."

"That's it, Captain Zhang." With a weird smile on his face, Xu Dong pointed to the video and asked: "Team Zhang, did you see this video? Do you think it was suicide or murder?"

"Naturally it's homicide." Guo Linzheng said this without hesitation, but when he saw Xu Dong's face, he suddenly hesitated. You must know that Xu Dong came in with him, and because of the difference, when he faced himself, His face always smelled of humiliation, and at this time, his eyes were bright, his face was white, his hair was black, and his eyes were refreshed, like a critically ill patient who ate the elixir and jumped from the **. Come down, rejuvenated.

What's the matter with him? What's wrong

After working as a policeman for many years, Guo Lin developed a weird intuition. He suddenly smelled danger, so he shut his mouth and looked up and down Xu Dong said: "This... It's not easy to draw conclusions, right? It's just a video, you know. , There are many fake videos, but according to the video, it should be homicide."

"Why?" Xu Dong stared at Guo Lin with piercing eyes.

Guo Lin swallowed and looked at the media reporters under the stands. He saw everyone staring at him. He looked up and saw Xu Dong’s confident eyes. A provoked anger came to his mind. At this time, his emotions came up and he didn’t care about anything. Anxiously said: "Of course it was murder. Isn't it obvious? Xu Dong, how did you become a policeman? Let me ask you, if Dou Yifan committed suicide, why call the police and let us come forward to protect him?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was buzzing again.

"Yeah, how could it be suicide? Someone must have taken it deliberately."

"Yes, yes, someone must have taken it deliberately. He didn't intend to kill it."

"If the deceased really wants to commit suicide, why call the police, right?"

"This is a matter of common sense. Are the police so stupid now?"

Guo Lin listened to the discussion with a triumphant smile on his face. He thought that Xu Dong was indeed an idiot. Even if he got strong evidence, he couldn't turn the card at all. Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard Xu Dong loudly say: " Team Zhang, I'm afraid you will be wrong this time."

"What?" Guo Lin's face sank, and he couldn't get off the stage and said: "What's wrong with me?"

Others stared at them, but they didn't expect the two policemen to quarrel in public, so they were a little curious.

"You are wrong, Team Zhang." Xu Dong smiled slightly, pointed to the video on the wall, and suddenly tilted his head to look at the director and said: "What do you think, director?"

The director was catching these two goods in public, losing face, and was suddenly mentioned by Xu Dong. He looked at everyone looking at him. He couldn't help feeling furious, but smiled on his face: "This... it's hard to tell." After saying this, it suddenly occurred to the outside world that it would be easy for the outside world to think that they did not understand the business and shirk their responsibilities, and hurriedly added: "According to the incident that the victim reported to the police before his death, it should be homicide, not like suicide."

When everyone heard this, they nodded and said yes.

"Xu Dong, what the hell are you doing?" Guo Lin became a little impatient, and scolded angrily: "The organization trusts you and asks you to take charge of the press conference, but what are you doing nonsense?"

When Xu Dong heard this, he waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare to mess around." After a pause, "I'm just telling everyone the truth I saw."

"What did you see?" the female reporter below said impatiently.

"Yes, yes." Everyone else said one after another: "What did you see?"

"Oh, it's like this." Xu Dong coughed dryly, looked at everyone, then looked back at the director and Guo Lin, suddenly feeling a little bit in his heart, he had been buried for so many years, he did not expect that one day, he could get revenge. Hahaha.

"Have you seen it?" Xu Dong pointed to the video on the wall and said while playing it back: "At first the deceased lay there quietly, right? After a few minutes, the deceased struggled desperately, like crazy. I usually pull the restraints on my body and want to remove the plastic bag, right?"

"Yes, yes, isn't this a normal reaction of a normal person?" The female reporter seemed to be a little impatient, and said: "Mr. Police, can you stop the lawsuit?"

Xu Dong waved his hands, walked to the wall, pointed to the time written on the video and said: "Look, everyone, when the deceased was lying here at first, he stayed still, right?"

"Right." Everyone nodded.

Xu Dong pointed to the time again and said: "The deceased remained motionless. About three minutes passed, right?"

"Yes." Everyone nodded again.

"That's right, that's it." Xu Dong shrugged, with a confident smile on his face, and said loudly: "Think about it, if it was really a homicide, at the beginning, the deceased would struggle, no ?"

Everyone fell silent...

"What do you mean..." The female reporter had a dazed expression on her face: "What do you mean...

"I mean..." Xu Dong said with a solemn expression: "If he really killed him, why should the deceased stay still at the beginning, even for three minutes?"

"He may have been knocked unconscious, and then suddenly woke up before struggling." The female reporter next to him raised her hand.

"Buzz—"

Everyone talked again.

Xu Dongsi did not panic, only said: "If you are knocked unconscious, look at his movements." After that, Xu Dong pointed to the projection on the wall. On the enlarged giant screen, it was obvious that you could see the sinus. Yifan had his eyes open and blinked slowly.

"This proves that Dou Yifan was sober when he fell." Xu Dong said in a decisive tone.

"Wow—"

This time everyone finally understood and nodded. Guo Lin and the director looked at each other. Both saw embarrassment on each other's faces. Guo Lin opened his mouth as if trying to explain something, but he didn't say anything, so he closed. Mouth.

"In that case, this scientist committed suicide, but why did he do it?" the female reporter asked in a loud voice. At this time, her voice was already a bit admirable, so her tone was much softer.

Xu Dong smiled slightly, took out a letter from his arms, and said to the director sideways: "Director, then I should read this letter?" As he said, he raised the letter in his hand.

"Where did this letter come from?" Guo Lin asked, staring at the letter, with an eyebrow.

"Oh, I received it at noon too." Xu Dong whispered: "Team Zhang, you happened to be away at the time. People knew that I was going to prepare for the afternoon conference, so they gave it to me."

Guo Lin felt jealous when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything in public, so he snorted and said nothing.

The reporters and the media below saw that they exchanged glances, whispered and talked.

"Officer Xu, what does this letter say? Why are there still writing letters these days?" The female reporter couldn't help but urged when they saw everyone talking in a low voice.

"It may be a nostalgic feeling of scientists." Xu Dong smiled, unfolded the letter, and read it:

"Everyone, when you received this letter from me, I was already dead. I am sorry that it took you so long to investigate the case. You must investigate it as a murder, right? Now this letter is actually I want to tell you that I committed suicide, not homicide.

Well, maybe you are very curious, why should I commit suicide? If I decided to commit suicide, why should I call the police? In the end, why did you fake the scene of the murder

My purpose is only one-I want to tell everyone that science can kill people.

Oh, how should I say, this matter should start from a few years ago. About three years ago, after I retired, someone came to visit and gave me a huge sum of money to develop a new type of weapon. This kind of thing can To some extent, I traveled through time and provided some basic information. It is said that the project has been carried out a long time ago, but it was put on hold because of the death of the host. When the funder reached this point, he did not want to delay any longer, so he looked for it. I was an authoritative person in the industry. I didn't really want to do it at the time, but after seeing the information, I felt that the project was close to completion, and it was only one step or two steps away. I was itching for a while, and finally made up my mind to do this project.

But when the project was completed, I regretted it. I realized that the harm this project brought to the world in the end was far greater than the benefits it brought. If it was really announced, I was afraid it would cause an uproar, so I thought Destroying this project, but the gold master refused to let it go. He called me over and over again and asked someone to monitor me. After much deliberation, I had no choice but to come up with this trick-pretending to kill.

I first called the police station to prove that someone was coming to kill me, so that the police would protect me and scare off the thugs of the money owner. Then I tied the plastic bag and prepared to commit suicide. Before that, I deposited a letter in advance. , Waiting for things to go wrong, this letter will be automatically mailed to the police.

I’m really sorry for making everyone a false alarm. If you catch any "murderer", please let it go. If not, that’s great. I hope my performance doesn’t scare everyone, and I want to tell everyone with my life. , Science is not only a weapon for human progress, but also a tool for destroying mankind.

Enter Dou Yifan. "

After reading the letter, there were overwhelming discussions in the hall.

"So this is ah."

"Yes, it turned out to be a well-planned performance?"

"But this is too fast. I heard that the homicide that happened only two days ago hasn't been spread out. This is made public. According to the letter, the fermentation period of this news has not passed yet."

"Yes, that is, this policeman is so lucky that he was convinced of the truth so quickly."

During the discussion, I heard the director speak: "Xu Dong, besides this letter and video, what else is in the package at noon?"

Xu Dong shook his head and said, "No, Director, that's all. Because you are not there at noon, the security gave me. I saw that you were not there, so I opened it and watched it. When I finished reading, Xiao Zhang asked me to go quickly I’m here for the press conference, so I have time to report to you and Team Zhang."

After these words were spoken, the director's face slowly became nodded and said, "It's pretty much the same."

Guo Lin stared at Xu Dong gloomily, his eyes seemed to make a fire, and finally he snorted, and said nothing more. As soon as the press conference was over, Xu Dong trot over and said to Guo Lin: "Zhang Team, this is the courier box I received.” As he said, he handed the courier box to Guo Lin, but Guo Lin didn’t say a word, knocked the box to the ground, and turned around and walked towards his office angrily. Xu Dong rubbed his hands in some embarrassment. The others looked at each other and didn't dare to speak out. Only the director patted Xu Dong on the shoulder and grinned: "Do it well."

"Yes." Xu Dong smiled and nodded, looking at the road ahead. At noon time, the sun reflected the floating shadows, and the road ahead was mottled on the corridor. Xu Dong touched the "artifact" in his pocket and felt that the heaven and the earth Suddenly lit up...
