"The most innocent person is Wu Jiajia. She died in pain due to your hatred and Deng Yuanqiang's suspicion, but in fact, she has never offended anyone.
Have you ever felt guilty for her death? No, I think you were happiest when you were insulting her body!
...You don’t answer, but that doesn’t matter anymore. I will organize this interrogation into a file and submit it to the court to prosecute you. After committing the crime of harboring and insulting a corpse, I will add a
One crime of abetting murder."
(A long silence follows again)
"Your trial is over, let's meet in court."
The recording ends here.
Qian Cheng pressed the switch and scanned everyone present.
Everyone looked horrified and remained silent. During the whole process of the recording being played, no one interrupted, and no one was thinking about anything else.
"Is that Wang Ritong... dead?" Hao Weida was the first to break the silence.
"Yes, he committed suicide after that interrogation.
I also went to the subsequent court hearing. By that time, Wang Ritong was dead, and the person on trial was Wu Jiajia’s husband, Deng Yuanqiang.
To be honest, I was absent-minded during the entire trial and kept thinking about this recording. To this day, Feng Mo's voice still rings in my mind from time to time."
The malice in the human heart is bottomless, and once malice takes root, it will eat away a person completely. Wang Ritong committed suicide to end his evil consequences, which may also be a kind of revenge on Feng Mo.
What do you see when you stare at the sun for a long time?
The answer is the abyss.
"It's such a pity that Officer Feng is such a smart man. He should have a better future..." Li Ting sighed.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? You don't think that Officer Feng Mo was dismissed because of this case, do you?"
"Isn't it true? Didn't you say that he was... transferred away later?"
Qian Cheng smiled lightly and said, "You are worried a little bit too much. Let me mention it by the way. Feng Mo was transferred because he was promoted and transferred to the imperial capital. He should still be there now. He and I were transferred because of that."
The case was considered a connection, and we still keep in touch to this day."
This can be regarded as a happy ending. At least, the person who revealed the truth got the reward he deserved.
............
In the evening, Yuan Chen returned home early.
There's really nothing going on in the team lately, so it's rare that they can get off work on time.
When he reached the door and was about to open it, he caught a glimpse of something on the ground.
It was a white envelope, inserted in the crack of the door on the ground, with one corner exposed.
There is a clown's mark on it.
What was a little different from the past was that the exposed corner of the envelope was obviously convex. From the surface, you could clearly see the shape of a square, as if there was something inside.
Old K?
He quickly took out the envelope, and sure enough, there was obviously a square-like object in the lower left corner, about 5cm in diameter.
What the hell? Why is there a giveaway this time?
He pinched it with his fingers and found that the texture of the cube was quite hard and did not melt as soon as he pinched it. This ruled out the possibility that there was lumpy food like cheese or fermented bean curd inside.
No matter what, let's go inside first.
Just as he inserted the key into the keyhole, he suddenly stopped.
Wait a minute, if there is a bomb inside, wouldn't it mean that if you bring it into the house, you won't have anywhere to run?
His worry was actually necessary. Even though this thing was only a little bit big, it seemed very inconspicuous. With current technology, it would be easy to create a bomb smaller than this.
However, this letter was sent by Old K. As an ally, how could he put a bomb in it?
Probably because he was worrying too much, he shook his head, opened the door and walked in.
The envelope contained a wooden block, but it was different from the scraps sawn by carpenters. There were several rows of buttons piled densely on the front.
On a piece of wood with such a small surface area, it’s hard enough just to look at the buttons, but who knew there were letters on them!
There are a total of four rows of buttons on the wooden block, seven for each button. Twenty-six letters from A to Z are arranged from top to bottom. On the far right of the last row, there is a hook and a cross.
It seems that this is a lock box, and you need to enter the correct password to open it. There may be something inside.
Of course Yuan Chen would not count the passwords so honestly. He found a hammer without hesitation and knocked hard on the wooden block. With a "bang" sound, the wooden block was even broken out.
Mars.
However, Yuan Chen hammered for a long time and even hammered his arms, but there was not even a trace of dent on the wooden block.
"Damn, what kind of wood is this? White solid wood isn't that hard at all!"
He took out a lighter out of habit. If a hammer didn't work, why not try using fire?
However, his hand was hanging on the fire wheel and could not slide down for a long time.
If such a small box contains notes and the like, and it burns out, wouldn't it be a loss that outweighs the gain?
In the end, he honestly picked up the piece of wood and stared at it bitterly.
These symbols are all crowded together in such a small place, and they are as dark as a swarm of ants. I really don’t know what the person who originally designed this thing was thinking. If the target was a person with trypophobia, he would have fainted long ago.
It's past.
He picked up a piece of paper on the table, which was packed in an envelope with the wooden block. However, Yuan Chen's attention was all on the wooden block at first, and he didn't see the paper until he opened the envelope.
The strip fell out.
There are only six letters on the note.
"U L I B L F"
Yuan Chen looked over the note over and over again, and based on his experience last time, he soaked it in water for a while.
However, the note did not change at all.
It seems that these six letters are all there is to it.
What does this mean?
He looked at the weird wooden block again, it was also a letter. This couldn't be just a coincidence. The content on the note should be some kind of reminder.
He took the wooden block in his hand, and because the button was too small, he had to use a needle to poke the six letters one by one.
No matter what, whether it is a piece of paper or a piece of wood, there is no prompt that the password is entered incorrectly or that it will automatically explode after reaching a certain number of times. The original design of this thing is disgusting enough. If there is such a setting, it is simply crazy.
.
In this case, it doesn't hurt to give it a try first.
However, the wooden block still didn't react at all.
Yuan Chen smiled mockingly to himself, as expected it would not be that simple.
After completely calming down, he began to analyze the possibility of the password.
There are six letters given on the note. If nothing else, the password should be six digits. There are 26 letters on the wooden block. If you try them one by one, the total of all combinations will be 26 raised to the 6th power.
Yuan Chen did the math and found that there are about 300 million kinds. Fortunately, there are no upper and lower case letters...
Even if you just try the five letters on the note, there are more than 10 million ways...
If he really tried this, he probably wouldn't be able to finish it in his next life...
There must be other tips.
He picked up the piece of paper again. Could it be that he needed to combine these six letters into a certain word?
It was indeed a good idea, and he immediately started trying it.
However, there are so many words in the world, and these six buddies couldn't spell out one.
Obviously not right either...
Passwords related to letters...
Looking at the letters on the note, an idea suddenly flashed across my mind.
[Etbash code]
This was a special code he had seen in detective novels before.
The Eterbash code is a system: the last letter represents the first letter, and the penultimate letter represents the second letter.
In the Roman alphabet, it appears like this:
Regular text: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Cipher text: Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A
If there is such a one-to-one correspondence, then the letter "U" corresponds to the letter "F", and the letter "L" corresponds to the letter "O"...
By analogy, he quickly wrote the six-letter Eterbash code on the note.
"F O R Y O U"
It means "dedicated to you".
It turned out that this was what happened. He picked up the needle and quickly poked the wooden block six times, and finally poked the check mark again.
With a "pop" sound, the wooden block was opened.
I have to say that the design of this cipher box is really exquisite. After looking at it for a long time, Yuan Chen didn't notice that there was a crack on the top of the wooden block.
Inside the box is a piece of paper folded into the shape of dried tofu.
Unfolding it along the crease, he saw a line of words written on the note:
