Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 55 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (17)
Principal Wang said: "Well, this is no problem. Teacher Han's name is Han Changsheng. He is from Tongzhou. He was born in 1963 and is 41 years old this year. He has been teaching in our school for 14 years, and he is considered a veteran. I only entered the school 1 year earlier than him. In fact, the position of principal should belong to him based on his ability, but he is not interested in anything other than biology. The leaders of the Education Bureau have talked to him several times, hoping that he can take over the principal He did not agree with his position, so I took the place. It is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Han is a scholar-type teacher with both ability and political integrity. His profound knowledge of biology makes many graduate students from biology classes feel inferior We often have biology masters and doctors from various universities come to discuss issues with him, which is one of the characteristics of our school and our pride."

Head Chen said: "Really? It's not easy for a middle school teacher to do this."

Principal Wang said: "Of course, this is Mr. Han. If there are any specific details, everyone can continue to discuss now."

We turned our heads, and saw a white and clean middle-aged man walking in. He was wearing a blue Chinese tunic suit without a single wrinkle on his clothes, and his hair was well combed. He looked like a very particular person. A sense of informality common among learned people.

Head Chen said: "You are Teacher Han Changsheng Han?"

Teacher Han bowed slightly and said, "It's my lord. You must be the head of the scientific research department, Chen. President Wang called me just now, and I came right away. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Head Chen said very politely: "You are serious. The teacher I admire most is the teacher. No matter how powerful you are, you are actually taught by the teacher."

Teacher Han said: "The teacher is just the one who opens the door. The cultivation level after entering depends on the individual's talent and hard work. Teaching and educating people is the teacher's bounden duty. We just do our own responsibility."

Head Chen said: "You are too modest. By the way, I heard that you saw a butterfly with a man in its mouth. I wonder if it is reasonable for this to happen? Because the largest butterfly in nature is about the size of a human palm. It's too exaggerated to pick someone up."

Teacher Han said with a smile: "Of course it's not that kind of butterfly. The butterfly I saw was taller than a person. Of course it's an exaggeration to say it's gone, but it did drag people off the ground."

Head Chen took out his notebook and said, "Can you explain the process in detail, I need to know the specific situation."

Teacher Han thought for a while and said: "That was last Sunday, I am a person who likes to collect insect specimens, because it is late autumn now, I want to make one last physical specimen of insects before the temperature drops, so I went to Hezhou Village, do you know that place?"

Head Chen said: "I know, a village between Tongzhou and Beijing."

Teacher Han said: "Yes, I am from Tongzhou, so I am familiar with all the places on this road. It is the place where I often go to collect insect specimens. Many biology lovers also often go there, but it is autumn now. No, there were not many people. Except for me, there was only one person named Wei Qingzhong who went to collect insect specimens around the village that afternoon. He was a worker of Shougang, but he was also very interested in specimens, and we all knew each other. It was a normal activity at first, but when Lao Wei was pulling in a piece of wild grass, a huge butterfly suddenly flew into the air and took him about half a meter above the ground, and then he might be unable to In the end, I let him go. Both Wei and I were terrified, because I had never seen such a huge butterfly before, so I wondered if there was some special reason for the insect body to mutate, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the problem. "

Head Chen waited for a while to make sure he had finished speaking, and then said: "Mr. Han, I don't doubt the authenticity of your words, but there is one thing I have to consider. It's late autumn now. Can there be butterflies in this season?"

Teacher Han smiled and said: "Your question is very correct. It is reasonable to say that butterflies only appear in spring and summer. But from a biological point of view, if any object has signs beyond the normal level, then all its characteristics are completely different. Variations may occur, for example, species in water, as the depth pressure of their environment continues to increase, its body shape will completely change accordingly. Of course, butterflies will also have such characteristics, when its body shape has undergone a qualitative change It is difficult to say that its body surface and internal characteristics will not change, and it is not impossible if it is changed to a state suitable for survival in autumn or even winter."

Head Chen said: "I understand after your explanation, but according to your knowledge, has there ever been such a huge butterfly in nature?"

Teacher Han said: "No, absolutely not. There will not be such a large insect in nature. This is caused by the current earth environment. Because the size of insects is related to the oxygen content, the oxygen content in the earth's air is not enough to support large-scale insects. The oxygen supply of insects cannot reach this level, so insects cannot grow up. This is the evolutionary characteristic of species. The evolution of a species always changes according to the external environment that is most suitable for its own conditions. If it violates this point, then the species must be suicidal."

Head Chen thought for a while and said, "According to your words, it is impossible for such a huge butterfly to survive on the earth?"

Teacher Han said: "That's right, leaving aside other factors such as climate and food, this environment should deal a fatal blow to it. However, we have indeed seen the emergence of this species, and it even attacked us."

Head Chen thought for a while and said, "If you don't have anything to do now, can you cooperate with us to do two things?"

Teacher Han said, "You tell me."

Head Chen said: "First, we need to find Wei Qingzhong, and then we need to do some field investigation."

Teacher Han said: "There is no shirking the responsibility. If this is a new species, it is possible to correct a wrong scientific view in the scientific community. This is a very important thing."

Principal Wang said: "Then Teacher Han will cooperate with Head Chen and the others to investigate this matter. We can find someone to take your class temporarily. Our school must support such an important matter."

Teacher Han expressed his thanks to the principal, and we got up and went downstairs. After contacting, we found out that Wei Qingzhong did not go to work because he was frightened and was recuperating at home. Head Chen immediately rushed to Wei Qingzhong's home.

Wei Qingzhong's lover is a simple middle-aged woman, seeing our expressions sad, said: "Our family's old Wei was not in good spirits when he was young, and he suffered from this kind of disease. Letting him collect insect specimens is also a means of recuperating. , I didn’t expect to be so stimulated, I’m really worried that his illness will recur.”

Teacher Han said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry too much. I will make a conclusion after Lao Wei rests for a while. I will visit him often during this period. Maybe he will recover during the observation period!"

Wei Qingzhong said humanely: "I'm really grateful to Teacher Han. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

Teacher Han nodded and said: "These are comrades from the scientific research department, and I want to ask Wei Wei for some information. If his condition is still stable, then we can chat casually; if there are still some ups and downs, then let's take a look. he."

Wei Qingzhong's lover is still very general, and didn't stop us, but said: "Please try not to provoke him, I'm afraid that his condition will worsen."

Head Chen said: "Don't worry, we will definitely be responsible for the person under investigation. If his mental state is not suitable for questioning, we will not force him."

The woman didn't say anything, and opened the door to let us in, only to see a bearded man lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling and motionless, it seemed that something was wrong.

Teacher Han made a silent gesture at us, walked to Wei Qingzhong first, and said softly: "Old Wei, I am Changsheng, are you okay?"

Wei Qingzhong didn't respond at all, Teacher Han said: "Old Wei, these are the senior leaders of your group, they came to see you, do you know them?"

Wei Qingzhong still didn't respond, Teacher Han got up and said to us: "It seems that he is in a little trouble, let's wait and see."

Naturally, we couldn't force anything. When we left Wei Qingzhong's house, Teacher Han said, "Now we have to go to the field to investigate."

Head Chen said: "Then you have to lead the way, I'm not familiar with it."

Mr. Han took us to a place full of weeds. He pointed to the weeds and said: "It used to be corn, but the person who contracted this field went to work in the city, so the field was barren, not this corn grove. There is no way to hide such a big butterfly."

Head Chen walked around the field full of withered grass and said, "The butterfly you mentioned is in this withered corn grove, isn't it?"

Teacher Han said: "Yes, this is also something that is very strange to me personally. Why does the butterfly inhabit this withered field, which itself is different from its foraging habits?"

Head Chen said: "That's not necessarily true, maybe it's a carnivorous butterfly?"

Teacher Han said: "Your idea is very creative, and this hypothesis can indeed be established."

Head Chen said: "It seems that mysterious and unknowable creatures have appeared on this earth again, but Mr. Han, how should we carry out the capture plan for this big butterfly? After all, I haven't beaten insects yet. deal."

Teacher Han said: "Although this kind of butterfly is huge in size and may be aggressive to a certain extent, in general, it does not pose a high threat to humans, so I hope to try to capture it alive. New species, that's the best thing."

However, no clues about the giant butterfly were left at the scene. We turned around several times, but we still couldn't find it.As the sky was getting dark, we had no choice but to go back. On the way, Teacher Han said: "If you need me to participate in the investigation, I will definitely not refuse."

Head Chen said: "Thank you very much. If we encounter something that we don't understand, we will come to consult you."

After we went back, we took the soil samples and some samples from the corn groves back for inspection, but we didn't get any valuable clues.Head Chen said: "It seems that apart from seeing this butterfly once, there is no possibility of solving the case."

Ma Tianxing said: "This case is not a big deal. No matter how big the butterfly grows, it will not eat people. On the contrary, it may make people feel more beautiful. Even if the case cannot be solved, at least it will not have any negative impact on society. "

Head Chen said: "It's a good word, but since we know about this matter, we must do our best. If we can't break it, that's another story."

The next day we went to the scene again to do a survey, but we still couldn't find it. Ma Tianxing said: "I don't think we can let go. The best way is to wait."

Just as he was talking, Captain Chen's phone rang. When he got through, his face immediately became serious. After hanging up the phone, Captain Chen said, "We have to go to Wei Qingzhong's house. His condition is getting worse."

I said: "It seems that this incident has greatly stimulated him, but because a butterfly was scared like this, this person is really too timid."

Head Chen said: "It's very difficult to talk about this kind of thing, but he is pitiful enough, so let's stop making irresponsible remarks."

The call was made by Teacher Han. Wei Qingzhong had been sent to the brain hospital because he was too emotional.When we arrived, Wei Qingzhong's wife and children, Mr. Han were all there, and the hospitalization procedure had already been completed. His wife was haggard, and it seemed that his spirit was also on the verge of collapse.

Head Chen said: "We went to your house yesterday and felt that Master Wei's condition is still stable. Why does the time change so much in one day?"

His wife said: "I don't know. I went shopping this morning. After I came back, Lao Wei broke and made trouble at home. He messed up the things in the house. I was confused at the time. Later, my son came back and called hospital's."

Teacher Han said: "It seems that this incident has greatly stimulated Old Wei. I really didn't expect that he himself is a lover of insect specimens, so how could he not be immune to such incidents at all."

Head Chen said: "If he has such a history of mental illness, it is likely that the old injury has not healed and a new one is added. The combination of the two will lead to the exacerbation of the disease."

While talking, a doctor came over and said, "Which of you is the family member of the patient?"

His wife said: "I am his wife, doctor, how is our old Wei?"

The doctor said: "You guys are really too careless. He already has a history of mental illness, how can he be subjected to such severe stimulation?"

His wife didn't speak, and the head of the delegation interrupted: "Is the patient's stimulation serious?"

The doctor looked at Captain Chen and said, "Who are you?"

Head Chen said: "I'm the cousin of the patient. It's nothing serious. How can I scare him like this?"

The doctor said: "This has nothing to do with guts. Mental patients are prone to have weirder hallucinations than ordinary people. A thing that seems normal to you may look different in their eyes. This patient is still in a state of depression. During the observation period, the cause of the disease is not yet known, and it will take a period of observation to know."

Head Chen said: "Doctor, can I understand the meaning of your words to mean that the patient received a new stimulus not long ago, rather than a sudden onset of an old illness?"

The doctor said: "From the test values ​​of his physical indicators, it should be so. But mental illness is hard to say. Judging from my work experience, it is beyond reproach that he was stimulated not long ago. The difference is that this stimulation may come from two One aspect, one is from the outside, that is, it is affected by the external environment; the other is that it may come from itself, that is, a sudden hallucination, which causes oneself to be frightened."

Head Chen said: "Could it be possible for the patient to scare himself?"

The doctor said: "That's right, for a mentally ill patient, this is completely possible."

His wife said: "I went out to buy vegetables in the morning, and my child went to school again. There is no one at home, so..."

Head Chen said: "So it must be because of Master Wei himself?"

His wife sobbed, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of him."

Head Chen nodded and didn't say anything else. After coming out of the hospital, Ma Tianxing said, "Head, it's reasonable to say that you drove yourself crazy, isn't it very likely?"

Head Chen said: "That's not necessarily the case. The patient has a history of mental illness. It's not impossible for him to have fantasies. But it's not easy to scare yourself like this. This is fate."

Ma Tianxing said: "When it comes to the topic of fate, I can't help but think of myself again. Counting with my toes, I don't know how many days I can live?"

Head Chen said: "Our fate is basically entrusted to God, so stop looking for troubles and cherish every day!"

Ma Tianxing said: "Why do I hear your words so bitterly?"

Head Chen said: "That's out of feeling, it's normal, let's not talk about it for now, I don't know how Lao Tang's case is going, I'll harass him to see."

After finishing speaking, Captain Chen took out his phone, dialed the number and said, "Old Tang, I'm Lao Chen, have you been fired by the Public Security Bureau?"

Lao Tang's voice was very clear, so each of us could hear: "I hope it will be soon. By the way, there is another murder case today. How about it, are you free tonight? Let's talk about it."

Head Chen said: "Okay, but I'm not in the mood to drink your egg soup anymore."

Lao Tang smiled and said, "Tonight I'm going to treat guests to a restaurant. Is this the head office?"

Head Chen said: "Then I have a lot of people here, so you should prepare some RMB."

Lao Tang said: "Isn't it just you four people? Come on, I still have this strength."
