dear archimedes

Chapter 16 Pipa and Nautilus (6)
"I also believe you can handle it well." He nodded in support.At the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of superiority in my heart, and after a while, I despised myself for this superiority.

"I'm sorry." He clenched his fists and pressed them on his legs, "I won't say those words again in the future."

Zhen Ai was puzzled: "What did you say?"

"Those words that made you see a doctor." After he finished speaking, his expression turned gloomy, and he squinted his eyes. "It turns out that what I said is so hard for you to remember."

Zhen Ai felt that he was being betrayed by her again, so she hurriedly said, "I think those words are your concern, but the way you care is rather peculiar."

"Who cares about you anymore? I'm analyzing and solving problems." Having said that, there was a slight blush of embarrassment on her face.

"Oh, so." Zhen Ai was not without disappointment, and turned her head back to look at the wall resentfully.

Seeing her like this, Yan Su frowned his eyebrows, but finally said nothing.After another long silence, he reached into the hat behind her and groped for a bit.

Zhen Ai was taken aback, and quickly turned around, only to see him take out a colorful object as if conjuring: "You can do magic tricks? Is this a conch?"

"It's called a nautilus." Yan Su was just about to explain the origin and evolution of the nautilus in detail, but the only audience member didn't listen. Instead, he fiddled with the small snail, shaking it curiously: "It's so beautiful."

Yan Su silently closed his mouth.

"No wonder it's called a Nautilus, it's as colorful as a parrot."

Yan Su endured it, and finally decided to correct her mistake: "Many of the 358 species of parrots in nature do not have colorful colors. For example, the African gray parrot has gray fur all over its body, which is particularly ugly..."

"How did you conjure it up just now?" Zhen Ai deliberately refused to listen.

Yan Su's face darkened: "I said I'm not a juggler."

"La la la, I didn't listen." Zhen Ai looked at the sky, listening to the voice in the nautilus, and ignored him.

Yan Su watched silently, and suddenly thought, it's not bad not to tell her how this nautilus got here.He didn't know if the mysterious person was targeting him or Zhen Ai, but no matter what, he didn't want to disturb her.

What is certain is that he did not set the bomb on the steps. After all, the man cannot guarantee that no one will kick the bomb when he goes up the steps.But, lute and nautilus, what message does he want to convey?
The phone rang, and it was Officer Black.He answered the phone, got up and left with Zhen Ai.

Zhen Ai heard something about it, and asked, "Have you locked down the suspect?"

"Enrique Jason, 31 years old, has been studying at Columbia University for nearly ten years, undergraduate physics, postgraduate mechanical automation, doctoral research field is mechanical physics. He is studying electronic physics engineering technology as a team member and a research team. But the previous paragraph His years of research results failed, and his thesis was criticized as radical and unrealistic by his supervisor. However, his competitor's project received a government grant of 500 million U.S. dollars, and he officially became a supervisor's assistant. He was about to start the second phase of research. He was excluded. "

The speed of speech is fast, and the pace is faster.

Zhen Ai had no choice but to trot all the way with him again. She glanced at her watch and sighed inwardly: In less than five or ten minutes, the criminal suspect was found.

But when she looked up, Yan Su's expression was stern, and her footsteps were so fast that she couldn't help being surprised: "Are you unhappy?"

Yan Su's voice was cold: "He ran away."

As Zhen Xinxin mentioned, that Jason was too vigilant.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, she didn't ask any more questions.

Yan Su said coldly:

"The police have found the place where he lives, but it is definitely not the place where he made the bomb. He is more cautious than I thought, and he found that the police were suspicious of him at the first time. From this point of view, he is bound to carry out the next operation in advance .He's a Texan with no relatives in New York or a site to borrow. So, where is his bomb development site?"

Zhen Ai followed him quickly down the steps, she could clearly feel the cold and prey on his body, she knew he was angry.

Because he promised her that the suspect would be caught before the next explosion.But now, the clever Jason sensed something strange and immediately hid.

Zhen Ai was nervous with embarrassment, and really hoped that the promise wouldn't put too much pressure on him.

As soon as she was distracted, her feet suddenly stepped on the ground, and before she could pronounce the exclamation of "ah", she suddenly fell down on the steps.

Yan Su didn't expect this sudden situation at all, and when he heard her cry, he immediately turned around to help her.But he walked too fast and threw her several steps, it was too late, he could only watch her fall heavily under his feet.

Only then did he realize that he was walking too fast, he immediately helped her up, glanced at her worriedly, frowned and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Zhen Ai was taken aback for a moment, unable to speak in pain, she quickly waved her hands, feeling that there was no need to apologize.

She saw that his face was very bad, and she didn't know how to deal with it.He asked again in a low voice: "Does it hurt?" There was a softness that he didn't even notice when he spoke.

Zhen Ai shook her head, and smiled nonchalantly: "It's just a fall, how can I be so delicate."

He had a dark face, angry with himself.

He gasped quietly, then bent down again, and gently patted the dust off her trousers.

Zhen Ai looked at his bent back, and then at the students coming and going, feeling slightly embarrassed.She quickly bent down: "I'll do it myself..."

Unexpectedly, he just stood up straight.

In the blink of an eye, her chin touched his forehead lightly, and kissed him on the forehead.

His skin was more delicate and firm than she had imagined, with the toughness of a man, and his hair smelled like a forest.

Zhen Ai was completely embarrassed, she simply didn't speak, and pretended to be stupid.

Yan Su was also slightly taken aback, and it took two full seconds for his eyes to regain clarity.Standing at the bottom of the two steps, with his eyes just level with her, he said as if as a promise: "Next time I'm with you, I won't walk so fast."

Zhen Ai blushed, unable to answer the words, so she nodded obediently.

Yan Su turned around and continued walking, frowning inwardly.Just now her lips touched his forehead, imprinting a soft and moist feeling.

Curly winding, lingering.

But to his surprise, he didn't reject it, but felt a little joy.

Enrique Jason rented a house in the neighborhood near the university. It was a very ordinary narrow and tall old building.

The landlady refused to open the door when he was not there.

When Yan Su and Zhen Ai walked up the wooden stairs to the third floor, Officer Black negotiated with the landlady in the corridor and asked her to open Jason's room.

The 45-year-old lady with curly hair was arguing in Spanish mixed with English: "mi dios, u cannot break into mi casa. You bully." My God, you can't break into my house, you are a robber.

Blake explained that Jason was suspected of a major crime.

The landlady refused to believe it and praised Jason as a "good boy".Also said he was a good tenant "coming home on time and clean."

Yan Su walked over, looking at Black sternly: "Obviously, officer, you haven't applied for a search warrant yet."

Black was embarrassed: "Because there is no valid evidence, the special search warrant is under review, but by then, maybe the second explosion will happen."

Yan Su: "But without a search warrant, the landlady cannot open the door for you. She is an upright lady, please don't use your police status to oppress her."

Everyone: "..."

You are here to make trouble...

Yan Su nodded slightly to the landlady's wife, and said in Spanish, "I'm sorry lo siento."

The landlady is very happy.

Yan Su asked, "Which one is Jason's room?"

The wife pointed to Yan Su's back.

"Thank you!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and kicked open the door suddenly without warning.

This sudden scene made everyone dumbfounded, and the landlady's jaw dropped to the ground.

When everyone was dumbfounded, Yan Su shrugged lightly: "I'm not a policeman."

It means that he doesn't have to worry about taking administrative responsibility.After all, ordinary citizens kicking the door and the police kicking the door are completely two concepts, and there is a world of difference.

The officers all shook their heads: he's such a madman.But they were shaking their heads and giggling.

The landlady was in a hurry and asked the police officers to catch him as a "pest".

Black sighed in embarrassment: "I am in charge of criminal cases. This kind of dispute is not within my scope of responsibility. Why don't you call 911."

Zhen Ai: "..."

The landlady burst into tears: So you are in the same group.

"You have seen it." Yan Su tiptoed, moving around, and smiled indifferently and slyly, "I just kicked the door of his house, and I didn't break into the residents' house illegally."

He stood on the door line with his hands in his pockets, and his eyes began to scan the items in Jason's house sharply.

Officer Black had seen Su Yan's amazing observation and reasoning ability, so he gave it to him with confidence.

The landlady hurriedly said that she would call Jason (of course she couldn't get through), while the other police officers discussed Jason's possible whereabouts.

Zhen Ai carefully turned herself into a background wall. She felt that the surroundings were a little noisy, and that guy was probably going to explode.

Sure enough, the next second,
Yan Su frowned deeply, and said coldly, "Shut up, all of you!"

For a while, there was no sound in the noisy small building.

He was still not satisfied, turned his head fiercely, looked at a fat police officer, his eyes were irritable: "Your breathing is too heavy, harsh and unpleasant, stop breathing immediately! I want absolute silence."

The fat police officer was very aggrieved and asked for help from Officer Black; the latter gave him a look, and the fat police officer immediately covered his nose mournfully.

Everyone was silent like a cicada, not daring to breathe.

"I don't ask much of you, just don't let you breathe." He looked into the room again with a bad temper, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Zhen Ai again, "You can."

Zhen Ai froze.

He withdrew his gaze and said to himself, "Your breathing sounds very nice."

Under the sharp eyes of a group of police officers covering their noses and watching, Zhen Ai stood in embarrassment: Detective Yan, you should take care of the case first, leave me alone, don't get mad, okay?

Yan Su stood upright at the door, his black suit made his figure taller and taller, and the half-light room was reflected in his pupils, deep and deep.

Second after second, dead silence.

After 30 seconds, he spoke:

"There are a lot of wood carvings and models in the room, which look like handicraft enthusiasts. But the color of the wood of the models has changed, and there is dust on them. The tools for making models, such as tweezers, drill bit cutters, are very clean, and even worn out due to frequent use. The paint has to be peeled off. From this point of view, the models are all fakes. On the contrary, there are a dozen large and small steel pen holders on the table. He has a habit of collecting pen holders? Or, do they look like different types of explosive tubes? Of course they are The latter. The conclusion is: the tools are not for making models, but for making bombs. But there are no chemicals in the room, so he always brings tools with him to practice his hand feeling.

So, where can he go in and out with a big bag and tools all the time without being suspicious? "

"A few pairs of shoes at the door, the uppers look like they haven't been washed for a long time, but the soles are not dirty, which means that he has not walked through muddy places, excluding the suburbs of the park and pier. The problem has arisen again, where is there any place in the city center that does not belong to him? Where to bother? Rent a venue? He doesn't have that much money."

"Looking at the window again, there is a narrow aisle and a wall on the opposite side. The light is not good, but he still uses thick black curtains. The conclusion is: 1. He has a lot of sleep problems, and his work and rest are irregular. 2. He doesn't want people Know what time he comes home.

The landlady said that he came home on time, but it was actually because he went out on time every morning and came back at night without surprising the landlady.Because he does not drive or take a taxi, but walks. "

After finishing this long series of words alone, Yan Su turned around with sharp eyes:

"His bomb-making studio can be reached on foot. It is in the city center. It is not a rented space. He will not be suspicious when he goes in with a big bag all the time. On the contrary, he will come home late and make other people in the building Tenants are curious."

Yan Su curled the corners of his lips indifferently: "So, there seems to be only one place."

Everyone present suddenly woke up like a dream: school.

Bombardier Jason is still hiding in school!

It's only a 5-minute drive to school, but every second counts.

Zhen Ai sat beside Yan Su, not saying a word, because at the moment he exuded a strange hostility.

She knew that the great inference just now didn't make him half proud or complacent, but made him angry.He was mad at himself for not realizing earlier that Jason's explosion lab was actually inside the school.

But Zhen Ai thinks that he is too harsh on herself.After all, no one can deduce all the thoughts of a person without knowing him at all.He has done so well so far.

In the quiet carriage, Yan Sushu sneered: "It really is his style."

The tone of his speech was as if he knew the bombardier he had never met before, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. He is very confident and courageous, and he actually thought of playing this trick. Great!"

It was the first time Zhen Ai heard such a gloomy tone from him, and suddenly a chill ran down her spine.

Yan Su looked at Black in front again: "Contact the bomb disposal experts immediately. It is very likely that Jason's bomb has been tied to his enemy by now."

When Zhen Ai heard this, her face turned slightly pale.

Yan Su saw her through the rearview mirror, and his cold face instantly relaxed.He patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He said this naturally, and he didn't notice anything wrong.

Actually, Zhen Ai is not afraid.But she still felt warm in her heart, and when she looked up and saw Officer Black's meaningful eyes, her cheeks turned red.

Soon to school.

Yan Su and others immediately went to the physics laboratory where Jason was, but there was only one person arranging the experimental equipment, and it was Jason's competitor Sullivan.

Blake was surprised, and asked Yan Su: "Isn't he at school?"

Zhen Ai's nerves tensed up, uh, officer, are you sure you want to question Yan Su?

Sure enough, Yan Su's eyes gouged out to Black like a knife: "Stupid human being, who said he wants to kill Sullivan?"

Zhen Ai Fu forehead: Childish ghost, now is not the time to play tricks, is it?

Unexpectedly, Yan Su seemed to sense the thoughts in Zhen Ai's heart, looked back at her, and said quickly and confidently: "I learned this sentence from you."

It was only then that Zhen Ai remembered that she had indeed described Jason as a "stupid human being". Well, she was wrong, she shouldn't teach children badly.

Yan Su continued the previous conversation with Black: "How could he kill Sullivan? Judging from the information we collected just now, Sullivan has no achievements or bright spots in research and subjects, and his IQ scores are very ordinary. He puts it in his eyes."

Sullivan's face turned black, and he raised his hand: "Hey, my ears are not bad."

"Good for you! Congratulations!" Yan Su said to Black without looking at him, "Jason and Professor Li have a deep mentor-student and cooperative relationship, and now he feels betrayed."

Black bit the bullet and walked up to Sullivan to explain his purpose and asked Jason's possible location.But Sullivan wouldn't cooperate.

Like most scholars, he has a natural arrogance and rejection of people in politics or the police.

He raised his eyelids uninterestedly: "Scientific research is confidential, no comment."

When Black was helpless, Yan Su suddenly said, "Jason knew the police were targeting him, so he advanced the final murder plan. Your professor is now in his hands."

"Nonsense," Sullivan dissatisfied, "Jason is researching the subject, and Professor Li has already gone home."

Blake was surprised: "We forgot Professor Li's home." It's too late to go now.

Ke Yansu was very firm: "No, they are somewhere in the school."

"The school is surrounded by police, and his explosives can't be taken out. And he pursues perfection, and he can't make a few more explosions, which has annoyed him. Let him move the location of the explosion from the school he loves to the house of the person he hates, Will he agree?"

Zhen Ai immediately understood that Jason was forced to direct the second explosion directly at the person he most wanted to kill because of the police's rapid locking.This may very well be his last performance.

He who designed bombs with creativity and artistic sense, of course, would choose the much-anticipated campus instead of the quiet and uninhabited villa area.How ironic to blow up the professor in the school.
