Mystery Hunter - Chapter 333

[Chapter 333 Ordinary People]

There were two buttons in front of Jiang He at the moment, and two choices at the same time. As long as the red button is pressed, Shui Xinlan will die, and if the blue button is pressed, 100,000 citizens in the square will die. This was a dilemma for Jiang He. Before joining the task force, Shui Xinlan was Jiang He’s only friend. He didn’t want anything to happen to Shui Xinlan. But in the same way, if 100,000 people died, if 100,000 people really died, this would be the most serious crime in the entire country.

With 100,000 lives and one life, what should we choose?

Jiang He was extraordinarily calm at the moment, but it was precisely because of this that Jiang He felt that he was a freak. Perhaps in Jiang He’s heart, there was no difference between dying 100,000 people and dying alone, and he couldn’t let his heart fluctuate in the slightest. Although Jiang He wanted to think like a normal person, the sad thing was, Jiang He still hadn’t found the emotion he always wanted to find.

Shao Lao also looked at Jiang He blankly. For a moment, Shao Lao was in a trance. Jiang He’s parents died in a gas explosion, and it was Shao Lao who was in charge of investigating the case. Back then, Jiang He was just a six-year-old child, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.

This may be the category of philosophy, but Shao Lao has lived for three twenty years, and now it will be a new year in an hour and a half. This makes Shao Lao can’t help but feel that things are right and wrong, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. When Shao Lao was ten years old, there were as many bad people as good people. Now Shao Lao is sixty years old, and it is still the same.

The world is still the same as what Shao saw when he was young.

“It’s half past ten.” Shi Xu looked at the watch in his hand and said to Jiang He, “The reason why a time bomb is called a time bomb is that even if you don’t use the remote control, it will explode in the end. Of course you still have half an hour left. Think about the time. After half an hour, it’s useless to think about anything.”

Jiang He stared into Shi Xu’s eyes and said his guess: “Although I don’t know much about radio, I still understand the simplest truth. The farther away you want to remote control, the easier it is to get out of control. You are a very strict person, especially today. I have 60% confidence that Shui Xinlan is actually the same as these 100,000 people, in this square.”

A smile appeared on Shi Xu’s mouth . , he said, “You seem to have some truth in what you said. You seem to know me well, so you might as well go on and have a look.”

Jiang He continued: “Since you chose to sit in this place, it means that you are very careful not to be affected by the explosion. It’s very close to the square, so the scale of your bomb is not large, and it is likely to be a directional bomb. The square is very empty, and if you want to install a bomb on a huge square, you must find a space where the bomb can be placed, drains, sewers! Jiang He turned his head to look at Shao Lao, and said, ”

The fountains and sewers in the square are probably places where bombs are hidden.”

Shao Lao nodded, but did not act, he said, “Shixu, since you want to Play the game with us, then this game has to be fair to play. Since we guessed the bomb was in the underground waterway, then you have lost. If you are threatening the lives of 100,000 people and don’t let us tip off, the game seems to be There is no possibility of continuing to play.”

“Naturally.” Shi Xu nodded: “Ten thirty-five, there are still twenty-five minutes, if you think it’s too late, do what you want. I It’s still the simplest sentence, press the red water to kill the new orchid, and press the blue one to die, it’s very simple.”

“Actually, I want to see if 100,000 people die together in this square. , what a spectacular sight that is.” Shi Xu took a sip of coffee and looked relaxed.

After hearing Shi Xu’s words, Mr. Shao put the headset on his ear and said, “Xu Yiman, while you are evacuating the crowd, order the blasting team to look at all the sewers near the square, bombs are very likely It’s in the circle of drains in the square.”

Xu Yiman quickly replied, “I understand, you and Jiang He…”

“It’s okay, do your own thing.” Shao Lao said.

“Understood.” Xu Yiman replied.

Shi Xu Jing waited until Shao Lao had finished speaking before speaking, like an elegant gentleman who couldn’t bear to interrupt other people’s conversations: “Well, very good. We just said, where are we talking about?”

“Shui Xinlan. “Jiang He replied.

“Oh.” Shi Xuyi patted his head: “Look, people with hyperamnesia are different. They can think of a lot of things anytime, anywhere, and I can’t do it anymore. I feel that my brain is getting worse. It’s getting harder and harder to come by. Speaking of this Shui Xinlan, his boyfriend, he’s really a bit bad.”

“What do you mean?” Jiang He asked.

Shi Xu replied: “A busy person like you naturally won’t pay so much attention to the emotional life of an ordinary college student and an ordinary little girl. Just before the holiday, Shui Xinlan’s boyfriend cheated on her, and she and her best friend Went to bed. Shui Xinlan was very sad and decided not to go home this year.”

“Why don’t I know.” Jiang He asked, “She is my tenant.”

Shi Xu nodded: “What are you naturally? I don’t know anymore. Because you won’t notice that every ordinary person has hesitations and turns in his heart. The world is not made up of people like us. People like us are just a few and a few people in this world. Different, this world belongs to people like thousands of thousands of water Xinlan.”

“But you want to kill her?” Shao Lao asked.

Shi Xu drank the steaming coffee gently: “It is precisely because there are too many people like this in this world, so one or two, or 10,000, 100,000 people die. For this world, It doesn’t have much influence. Jiang He, do you agree with me?”

“No, I don’t agree.” Jiang He said firmly.

Shi Xu laughed, he pointed one finger at the crowd outside, and said, “Look at those people outside. An ordinary working family, doing a job that countless people in this world can replace him. Housewives, wash and cook every day and start over again. Children who are not smart are not bad at studying in the class, they are not hardworking and not naughty, and they are dead.”

“No.” Shao Lao said: “In your opinion, it is an ordinary job. A family member, who is also someone else’s boyfriend, will fill another person’s heart. Housewives who seem boring to you also have their own hobbies and interests. A child who is not good at studying also has close friends.”

“You What you are like is what the world you see is like. The lifeless world you see without vitality and vitality, in my opinion, is a very beautiful world.”

Shi Xu stretched out a finger Come shaking: “No no no, you all agree with me, it’s just that you dare not express it. I can see through your heart, in fact, you are the same person as me.”

“Jiang He.” Shi Xu Di Staring at Jiang He, he said, “Tell me, Shui Xinlan is your tenant, and you are a smart detective who can find clues from details that others can’t notice, why even I can see that Shui Xinlan is brokenhearted. But you can’t see it?”

Jiang He frowned, Jiang He didn’t know how to answer this question for a while.

There was a smile on the corner of Shi Xu’s mouth: “Because you don’t want to see it, you can’t see it. In fact, it’s not that you can’t see it on purpose, but in your subconscious, you automatically ignore it. Because In your opinion, what is the serious business of a female college student besides love and love all day long? Even if you find out, you will not care about it. Because we are all the same people, we do not subconsciously Why do you care about these people?”

“Nonsense.” Jiang He retorted.

“There is no reason to shout it out in two powerful words, right?” Shi Xu slapped the table with a smile: “You can admit it, you don’t have to pretend to be here with me. Those ordinary people who died in each case, How did you feel when you saw it? I dare to say in my heart, you have no feeling at all when you see it.”

Shi Xu’s eyes were like a machine gun, constantly shooting at Shao Lao and Jiang He: “Admit it, you have no trouble in your heart, just like the vast majority of indifferent people in this world, you express it. Your sympathy and regret is just that you feel that you should sympathize and regret in this scene, that is not what you think from your heart, you have been deceiving yourself, as absolutely rational us, this is a very normal thing Things.”

After Shi Xu finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while.

Is what Shi Xu said wrong or right? Shao Lao often sees people’s regrets and grief for one thing, some innocent people who died on social networks. But behind the candles, it is very likely that there are indifferent faces. In the Internet age, sadness and regret also seem to be a luxury.

“This is the world you want, right?” Shao Lao turned his head to look at the square.

The people in the square still did not evacuate. They were crowding and shouting. Through the headset, Mr. Shao heard these words:

“I won’t go, why should I go, why don’t others go?”

“Who are you? What about the police ?” Now? The police can just chase people away, right?”

“What’s going on? We’re still waiting to see the fireworks. Now the cannons are not allowed to go off, and emotional fireworks are not allowed to be seen, right?”

Turning his head, Mr. Shao said Looking at the face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, at that moment, Shao Lao suddenly felt that it might be right. What exactly is human nature? Shao Lao is sixty years old, and he still doesn’t understand.

“There are still ten minutes.” Shi Xu said: “Don’t be in a daze, 100,000 people and Shui Xinlan, Jiang He, should you choose one?”

Jiang He just said: “There are ten minutes, I think we There’s still time.”
