Liang Xi took a plastic chair from the RV, sat in the girl's sleeping bag, and flipped through the books that the police found a hundred meters away from the checkpoint. The book is called Confessions, written by Augustine. Like many great scholars and great scientists, Augustine first studied philosophy, and then began to study theology. Newton wanted to prove theology through physics. Einstein, who was the ceiling of physics, believed that the world was too perfect, so he turned to theology in his later years.
Augustine wrote many books, the contents of which vary according to his variations. At first he studied ancient Greek and Roman literature, and at this stage he was a follower of Manichaeism. At that time, he believed that literature and art should not be secularized, but had a higher demand. The meaning of speaking human words is: making everyone understand and literature and art is not good literature and art. After that, he wrote a book called On Free Will, which is actually a philosophical book about exploring the soul. In this book he began to lean towards Tianjiao, and he converted to Tianjiao soon after. Since then, he has written books such as the Trinity and the City of God, which have a profound impact on Europe.
Confessions are quite special, similar to memoirs. Simply put, they divide one's life into several stages, and criticize and repent of one's mistakes in several stages. Among the 13 volumes, the first 10 volumes are more philosophical, and the last 3 volumes are extremely religious. This is a book that devout Christians would recommend to teenagers.
Looking at the evidence taken on the computer, there are notes from the girl's father on the evidence book, and there are also reading cards mixed in it. At the same time, the boy who participated in the ceremony asked the girl, and the girl replied that this book was given to her by her father when she went to college. The three boys were all very impious Protestant believers, and the hall laughed loudly. Someone asked the girl if she was afraid of demons, so she brought this book? The girl answered yes. The boy's transcript showed that the girl was very reluctant to talk about this issue, so everyone didn't continue to mention the book.
Moduo and Ke Lante came to the scene in a daze, and they went to the other two rooms.
After sitting in the room in a daze for a long time, Modo picked up the candle he lit and put the candle on the tablet, which he used as a book. When Modo went out, he saw Liang Xi and Ke Lante coming out with candles. Liang Xi blows out the candles, signaling for you to please. The three of them followed the candles slowly downstairs and walked towards the road one kilometer away.
The road branch leads to the monastery, and a bayonet is installed in the middle of the three-way junction. This bayonet is at a right angle, which can not only shoot vehicles passing by on the road, but also vehicles on the upper branch road. This design is because the monastery was used by a group of kidnappers as a hostage lair four years ago. At that time, the police suspected that the kidnappers were in the monastery and checked the monastery, but they were not found. A police detective kept an eye out and contacted the traffic department to install the bayonet.
There are many types of bayonets. This type of bayonet is specially designed to take pictures of vehicle license plates. It is very short and not easy to be found. It has a speed measurement function. It is a sharp weapon specially aimed at drag racing people. A mobile speedometer similar to our common high-speed flow speedometer.
With the assistance of this checkpoint, the police cracked down on the kidnapping gang and rescued the hostages. In order to prevent the remote monastery from being used by bad guys, a long-term bayonet is specially installed at this location. This setting can effectively curb the crowd who want to use the monastery to commit crimes.
The three of them walked to the place where the book was found, about 100 meters away from the bayonet. Modo expressed his opinion: "This candle can burn for an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes indoors. The four returned to their rooms at nearly 12 o'clock and lit candles. The girl and her boyfriend were at the bayonet at about 1:30. Meet nearby. The girl should have left the room around 1 o'clock. The light is dim and the walk is slow. I assume that the candles are extinguished on the road. Given the night conditions of the night, the road can still be discerned."
Ke Lante said: "The first question, no candle residue was found near the book, and the book was not burned. It can only be understood that the girl lost the candle in advance. This leads to the second question: Why did she throw the book away?" In the grass by the side of the road?"
The two seniors were talking, and the junior Liang Xi was listening. Ke Lanke looked at Liang Xi: "What do you think?"
Liang Xi said: "There are three possibilities. The first possibility is that the girl decided not to elope with her boyfriend after reading the confession. She came to see her boyfriend to explain the situation. In this case, she might be killed by her boyfriend and transported to a certain place. It is very difficult to find the corpse.¡± The nearest small town is also five kilometers away.
Modo said: "This possibility is very small. If the confession changes the girl's mind, then the girl will definitely not discard the confession."
Liang Xi said: "There is another possibility. After the boyfriend killed the girl, in order to counter-reconnaissance, he walked 100 meters towards the monastery and put the book in the grass."
Ke Lante shook his head: "I don't think my boyfriend has such courage and ideas. Liang Xi, what about the second possibility?"
Liang Xi said: "The third possibility is that the girl was killed in the monastery, and someone moved her book here to fake the illusion that she left."
?The courtyard, but did not check the annex building on the left. "
Modo: "Let's go and have a look, first go to the Penitentiary."
The three chatted while walking, Liang Xi said: "We haven't solved the problem of why the murderer met the girl."
Moduo smiled and said: "If you can't solve some problems temporarily, just ignore them. When you solve other problems, you will find that the original problem is not a problem at all. We now have dozens of question marks. The key is to find answers that can answer them. The answer to a question mark. It may not be the answer, but it is the key to other question marks.¡±
Modo is seventy years old and has a slow personality. His white beard and white hair make him look particularly old. But his eyes are very young, very mobile, and have a soul. These eyes add to the master's appearance a resolute and wise evaluation.
Modo said: "Ask more questions, think more about questions, and ask enough questions to answer them."
Well, it is certain that John was cheated of 200,000 by George!
The room in the ascetic monastery is not much larger than the pigeon cage, the largest is no more than seven square meters, and the smallest is less than four square meters. This building is built against the mountain, which is a bit like a cave dwelling. A corridor, a row of penance rooms. At the end of the corridor is the torture hall and the whipping room. There are two types of flogging: do-it-yourself and other people's flogging. What's interesting is that the person in charge of flogging cannot be a believer in the Catholic Church.
A 50-centimeter-wide zigzag staircase leads to the second floor in the Hall of Torture Instruments. There are three floors in the Penitentiary, and the patterns are almost exactly the same. Standing in front of the penance room, one can imagine a person kneeling against the wall hundreds of years ago, repenting and praying all night long. Some incongruity was found in the asylum, a room on the second floor with a satanic hexagram painted on the wall.
Visually observing that this pattern has a history of many years, Moduo said: "Believers of the Catholic Church practice penance prayers, hoping to alleviate the inherent evil of human nature through physical pain, and bring the soul closer to God. Satanic believers also practice penance prayers, with different purposes. , He hopes that the demon master can use his body to come to this world. According to my understanding, there have been many incidents in the world where the claiming demon crossed the six-pointed array and possessed believers. One of the incidents was very strange. The believer has no strength to restrain a chicken, but after being possessed, his strength is as strong as a cow, and several policemen can't hold him down."
Modo said: "Psychologists think it's schizophrenia and self-suggestion."
Liang Xi asked curiously: "Actually?"
Modo shook his head: "I don't know. In the 1970s, he was forced to undergo lobotomy surgery, and his life was 20 years longer than the average. Here comes the point. Before the 1970s, the removal of the frontal lobe was regarded as a A form of formal psychiatric treatment, the amputated person lacks self-awareness, like a walking dead, so that this treatment was abolished later. This believer is an exception. Although he is like everyone else in his daily life, when he is alone, he He would bite his finger, draw a satanic hexagram with blood, and kneel down to pray."
Modo said: "I went to a mental sanatorium to see him. I felt that his eyes were hiding thoughts. How to describe it? I have seen many other patients who have undergone the same operation. Their eyes are dead and have no luster. , no soul. And his eyes hide life. I wasted five years on this subject, even went to the Vatican, but never got the answer I wanted to know, and I didn't stop until he died. I was like you at that time young."
Liang Xi asked: "Have you any specific thoughts and opinions so far?" The three of them chatted as they walked, not as if they were solving a case, but more like holding a seminar.
"From a scientific explanation, there was a deviation in the operation at that time. From a psychological explanation, part of the consciousness of the subconscious personality is not in the front lobe of the brain. From a theological explanation, the devil is sleeping in his body." Modo said: "30 years ago, I thought, Humans are very complex and some outliers are acceptable. 20 years ago I thought someone was giving him an experimental drug. 10 years ago I thought maybe my memory was wrong."
Ke Lante asked: "What about now, Your Excellency?"
Modo smiled and said, "Now? Now I just treat this as one thing, a story."
Go up and then down, first three floors, then two floors, and finally one floor. Going down from the second floor to the entrance torture hall, the three of them chatted and inspected dozens of penance rooms on the first floor. Not far from the torture hall, Ke Lante stopped: "Wait."
The two waited, and waited in place without saying a word, giving Kerant time to think or react. Ke Lante stared at the empty corridor ahead, and said in a positive tone: "The air smells of blood."
The smell of blood and the almond smell of cyanide deaths have one thing in common: not everyone smells it. Blood smells like rust or metal, why is it this way? The mainstream explanation is that it is because of blood ferritin. There is another condition for humans to be able to smell blood from a few meters away: a lot of blood.
Liang Xi didn't smell the smell, but when he saw that Ke Lante was about to search forward, he stopped him immediately, and took out the emergency intercom that Bobby gave him: "Call the bodyguard team."
"The bodyguard team received it."
"We need personnel to explore the way."
"Understood. Please wait where you are."No, but seeing that Ke Lante was going to search forward, he immediately stopped him, and took out the emergency intercom that Bobby gave him: "Call the bodyguard team."
