: 【Fan Wai: Mechanical Star (2)】

[New book "Resurrection Empire" is asking for collection! ! 】
The tranquility of the morning was broken by a scream.
The frightened people ran out of their rooms in a panic.
Samantha Swan squatted at the door of her dormitory in horror with her face in her hands.
Five meters to her side, a medium and thin man was lying on his back on the ground. The man's chest was burnt with a large hole the thickness of the bowl. The place where the man fell was the door of his dormitory.
Because the burning was too thorough, the cave had been carbonized and no blood flowed from him. Three lines of blood appeared at the corners of his eyes and mouth.
He had died a long time ago and died completely. His eyes widened, his face was full of horror and confusion, as if he saw some terrible scene before he died.
The deceased was Matsuda Masahito, who was supposed to be driving the roadheader to other scientific research bases today.
"what happened?"
Cissetta frowned and leaned forward, squatting down to check. There were two drops of eye feces hanging from the corner of Cissetta's eyes, showing that his sleep last night was not good, and even slightly drowsy because of getting up early, but the quality of professional soldiers allowed him to quickly adjust back to his state and perform his duties. As the only military personnel in the base, he was originally responsible for security and handling accidental deaths of personnel was naturally his task.
Samantha shivered and said, "I don't know what happened. I got up early as usual and prepared breakfast for everyone. Who knew I saw this by opening the door."
With that, Samantha was still trembling and trying to slowly crawl towards Matsuda Masahito, her eyes could not hide sadness and fear, as well as a trace of doubt and incomprehension.
Nur Ahun frowned tightly, his eyes drifting to the other corner of the wall calmly. It is an ion beam gun that can be taken off at any time in an emergency situation and hung on the wall of the hall.
In the base, the only thing that can leave such a burn on Matsuda's body is the gun. But the only people who have the authority to open the ion beam gun safety device are the leader Nur Ahun himself and the soldier Cissetta.
Cisseta keenly caught Nur Ahun's suspicious eyes, and immediately argued loudly, "Leader, what are you thinking? Don't you think it's me?"
Nur Ahun: "Is that me? What is my motive for committing the crime?"
Cisseta was instantly dumb.
Everyone has been getting along for some years, and everyone knows what kind of person Nur Ahun is. He is rigorous, self-disciplined, and focused on work. He hardly has any personal hobbies. He strictly abides by the working principles when dealing with anyone, and he hardly has personal relations with anyone, only doing business. There is no personal conflict between Nur Ahong and Matsuda Masahito. Moreover, he only gave Matsuda Masahito the order to go out today. For Nur Ahun, the uncontrollable variables in the plan that made it impossible to execute the plan may make him more uncomfortable than killing him.
But Cissetta is different, he and Matsuda Masahito have always had conflicts.
In the past, Cissetta did not kill Matsuda, which can be understood as his benevolence and conceit, but it can also be understood as the ubiquitous strict monitoring in the base and the dual supervision of the military brain system that comes with his combat uniform. His killing intent.
Nowadays, with the failure of all high-precision equipment in the base, the information collection function of monitoring and brains has naturally disappeared.
Cissetta opened her lips and looked at the other two people present, as if she hoped that the others would justify her.
But Ou Xiameng and Liang Zhichu were silent. The base is now fully closed, no one opens the door inside, and it is impossible for anyone from outside to break in. Then the murderer is destined to be only one of the five people present.
Although there is no evidence, logically speaking, Cissetta is the most likely.
Ou Xiameng didn't rush to speak, in fact, because she was already worried about whether her experiment task could be successfully completed at this time.
The death of a person means that the base is no longer safe, and it also means that the large amount of data she has worked so hard to collect has also lost security. These data have not had time for final verification, and she doesn't know if there are backups in other bases.
Liang Zhichu didn't think so much. Instead, he leaned forward, looked at the round hole in Matsuda's chest, and observed it with his eyes.
Immediately, his pupils contracted slightly, he looked at Nur Ahun very nervously, and glanced at Cisseta with a slightly fearful gaze.
Nur Ahong understood, and said loudly: "Executive team leader's powers and responsibilities! Remove Cisseta Roy's weapon use authority!"
Only the cutting-edge facilities are damaged in the base. For the sake of stability and reliability, there is a backup system in the authorization recognition mechanism on the ion beam gun and combat uniform, which is the voiceprint recognition device attached to the traditional semiconductor chip.
As Nur Ahun's voice fell, there was a slight clicking sound from the ion beam gun on the wall, and then an indifferent electronic sound, "Lieutenant Cissetta Roy's military authority has been banned."
The same voice came from Cissetta, and his combat uniform also lost its function.
Cissetta's body suddenly sank. The combat uniform with closed performance lost its anti-gravity function, and suddenly became heavy, which in turn restricted his freedom of behavior.
Liang Zhichu said: "The distance between the wound on Matsuda's body and the axis of his shoulders is 22 cm, and the error on both sides is no more than 0.5 cm. After losing the assistance of the smart aiming device, no one except professional soldiers can do it. It’s so accurate. Team leader, you can’t do it. After all, although you have permission to use it, you don’t usually practice guns."
Liang Zhichu's subtext is self-evident. But when he said this, he seemed very painful and even a little self-doubt.
Four years ago, during an expedition mission, Liang Zhichu was threatened by a fierce mechanical beast on J919. It was Cissetta who fell from the sky and saved his life. Since then, the two have been in a good relationship, often chatting together and exchanging ideals in life. Liang Zhichu understands what Cissetta is like, and emotionally tells Liang Zhichu that the murderer cannot be him, but he can't panic because of reason.
Cissetta showed a look of grievances and sorrow, and said in pain: "Brother Liang, you don't believe me? Don't you know me? Although Matsuda and I often fight, but I'm just joking. He played. How could I kill him, what did I do? I’m not crazy. Although there have been some accidents in the base, I am a professional soldier. My dream is to become a leader like Chen Feng. How could it be possible to shoot at other humans? Leader Nur Ahun, you have reviewed my resume. You should know that I use myself more than once on the battlefield. To cover his comrade-in-arms with his life. In my heart, Matsuda is just like you, as my comrade-in-arms!"
…
In the end, the crowd did not imprison Cissetta, but banned his armed authority.
There are two reasons.
First, apart from reasoning, there is indeed no substantive evidence that Cissetta is the murderer. No Cissetta's fingerprint was left on the ion beam gun that hadn't been used for a long time. According to the principle of the management mechanism of the scientific expedition team, when there is only one professional soldier, the freedom of movement of professional soldiers cannot be banned based on reasoning alone. Otherwise, while eliminating a suspected potential crisis, it may bring about a bigger crisis.
Second, the dead have already appeared in the base, and contact with the outside has not been restored. No one knows what is happening on the planet, and whether hidden external enemies suddenly appear to attack the base. The base and others need Cissetta's protection. If he is put in prison, once an emergency occurs, releasing him again will delay a lot of time.
During the whole day, everyone basically got nothing. Matsuda Masahito, who was supposed to set out to other bases, was dead, and the message was not sent.
Neither was able to restore contact with the outside world, nor was he able to find any useful evidence about the death of Matsuda Masahito.
In the past nearly 10,000 years of history, mankind has not encountered such a weird state for too long. Vicious homicides that cannot be solved have not occurred in many years.
In daily life and work, people have become accustomed to the help of the omnipotent quantum brain. Suddenly losing more than 99% of the intelligent assistance is like being blindfolded, piercing the eardrum, and people's living environment is completely broken, as if returning to the primitive society.
No matter how smart and calm people are, they can't slow down for a while.
Just like yesterday, in order to prepare meals, Matsuda Masahito, who worked part-time as a machine repairer in the base, was called to toss for a long time by Samantha before he found a way to activate the heating device of the induction cooker by short-circuiting the wiring to create a surge. When Ou Xiameng and Liang Zhichu rescued the data, they also used a mechanical screwdriver to unscrew the sealed box that was supposed to open automatically. Fortunately, this situation was taken into consideration in the original design, and it was not made into a fully enclosed type. Otherwise, based on the material performance standards of the black box that saves the data, the gods will have to catch the blind when they come.
Everyone was busy for two days, and none of the problems was solved. Most of the time and energy were spent on re-adapting to the basic common sense under the low-tech level, so that their thinking became a little more rigid, and everyone’s logical analysis ability was more or less. It's all a bit down.
…
"Do you think it will be Cissetta?"
In the evening, in the living room of Ou Xiameng's dormitory, Liang Zhichu said with great thought.
There was a bit of self-denial in his tone, but it was full of doubts.
At this time, the two had just had dinner in the cafeteria. Liang Zhichu followed Ou Xia Meng into her dormitory in a "dead face", because he was worried about Ou Xia Meng's safety, and he would sleep in O Xia Meng's living room tonight. Ou Xia Meng did not refuse. In the past, the two often stayed together all night because of work. She didn't think Liang Zhichu had other thoughts. Even if there is, it is useless. Liang Zhichu should be soberly aware that as a descendant of Ou Clan, he will not consider his children's personal relationships until he obtains academically satisfactory results.
Ou Xiameng shook his head, "Now everyone suspects Cissetta, and he has even disarmed him. But you still came to me. So I know, you think the murderer is not him, but someone else. "
Liang Zhichu was stunned, "Am I so obvious?"
"certainly."
"Uh, okay." Liang Zhichu said and scratched his head, "because you know that Cissetta and I are good friends?"
"It's not just for this reason, but the evidence is indeed insufficient. Cissetta seems to be motivated, but the motivation is not strong enough."
Liang Zhichu: "Well. I hope it's not him."
midnight.
Liang Zhichu tossed and turned on the sofa in the living room, unable to sleep. He couldn't help thinking about the tragic situation of Matsuda Masahito falling to the ground, trying to reason and analyze the whole thing. He wanted to use his abilities to help Cisseta remove the suspicion. But what bothered him was that if it weren't for Cisseta, then the biggest suspect in theory would be the leader of the team, Nur Ahun, which is terrifying and even more unacceptable. In addition, assuming that Cissetta is really not the murderer, then the real murderer must be at large now, hiding in the crowd, not knowing when he will jump out, and who the next target will be.
In the case of completely unable to figure out who the murderer was and the motive of the murderer, he can only assume that everyone who is still alive is in danger.
…
Another new morning, another scream.
But this time, the deceased was Liang Zhichu.
What screamed was Oxiameng who had just walked out of his bedroom door.
The young scholar who had great ambitions and always longed for classical love fell quietly at the door of Ou Xiameng's dormitory.
Liang Zhichu's neck was wrapped with a mile-long alloy rope, which was drooping loosely.
There was a ring-shaped strangle mark on his neck, which was nearly two inches deep into the flesh. The edge of the Lehen was glowing with purple-red, and then spreading out was a purple-black bruise. His eyes were wide open, his pupils dilated, and the whites of his eyes and the mucous membranes around the eyes were glowing red.
Ou Xia Meng looked at it from a distance, seemingly unbelievable, but also a little scared.
She and Matsuda Masahito didn't have much interaction, and they didn't say more than 300 sentences in three years. They were basically work-related.
So when Matsuda Masahito died yesterday, although he described it as miserable, it did not have much impact on her.
In the age of the universe, sudden death is not uncommon, not to mention the small-scale war between humans and compound-eyes has not ceased. In the distant Virgo Supercluster, super-large-scale wars between humans and compound-eyes are taking place every moment of every day.
Even the Andromeda galaxy, which has been operated as an iron and steel base and turned into a logistics base, is still subject to harassment from time to time.
Ou Xiameng has seen many deaths, but getting along day and night, acting as his right-hand man in the work with steadfastness and diligence, yesterday died silently in order to protect the people who still lived on his side. She has difficulty accepting reality.
"He was strangled alive."
Nur Ahong squatted down, opened Liang Zhichu's mouth again, and saw the tongue with several marks bitten out by his teeth, and said so.
As he spoke, he raised his head and stared at Cissetta with scrutiny gaze.
Cissetta was approaching at this time, squatting on the ground, her eyes sad.
He trembled with his hands, trying to pull Liang Zhichu's neckline, but he drew back.
Suddenly sensing Nur Ahun's gaze, he raised his head, and the sadness on his face was gradually replaced by great grievance and anger.
"You killed it! You killed it!"
Cisseta suddenly fell into a rage, and tried to pinch Nur Ahun by the neck.
Bang!
His head turned black suddenly, then he leaped forward and fell to the ground with a bang.
Behind him, Samantha Swan clutched the barrel of the ion beam gun with both hands, panting heavily.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Cissetta Roy slowly woke up.
He tried to move his body, but it was difficult even to bend his fingers. His combat uniform has been modified by Nur Ahun and turned into a restraining tool to restrain prisoners.
There was still a slight pain in the back of his head.
His vision gradually recovered, and Cissetta could see his situation clearly.
This is the prison at the bottom of the base. It was originally designed to detain compound-eye invaders or species with research value and higher risk on J919. But it has never been used in the past, and he did not expect that the first time someone came in, it was himself.
He is sitting on an iron chair, his hands are trapped on the armrest of the iron chair by arc shackles.
Behind the interrogation table directly opposite were Nur Ahun, Oshamon and Samantha.
At one end of the interrogation table, the alloy rope that strangled Liang Zhichu was placed in a transparent polyethylene pocket.
"Wake up?" Nur Ahong, who was in the center, asked in a deep voice.
Cissetta turned away, and did not answer.
There was a brief silence in the room for ten seconds, and Oxiameng broke the stalemate, "Cissetta, whether you admit it or not, but we all want to know what you know, what happened last night, and why do you recognize the team leader? The murderer?"
Only then did Cisseta react, and slowly raised her head, "There is no other reason, because I know it must not be me. Then, among all the people, the only one who has the strength to strangle Brother Liang is the team leader. As for the killing. The murderer who killed Matsuda Masahito, only the team leader and I have permission to shoot. I have been suspicious of the team leader since yesterday. But I didn’t expect you to be so mean. In order to avoid suspicion, when you kill the second person, you don’t need a gun and use it instead. The rope is up."
Nur Ahong said angrily: "Nonsense! Then you are telling me, what is my motive!"
"Motivation? Motivation again! The ghost knows what your motive is? I also want to know! Maybe you just stayed in this base for too long, crazy? Maybe you are infiltrated by the compound eye? Or you are just simply What about a fake person?" Cissetta was even more angry than him.
Ou Xiameng spoke, "Cissetta, what you said is still an inference based on your first assumption that you are not a murderer. From the perspective of the group leader, assume that he knows that you are not a murderer. Then first The person who fired the gun in the sky must be you. The next day you chose to strangle Liang Zhichu with a rope because you could not use the gun. This is obviously more likely."
After Liang Zhichu's death, she finally stopped focusing only on scientific research, and began to try to use her wisdom to find the real murderer. "Yesterday, Liang Zhichu told me that he trusted you very much. But now it seems that we did not imprison you in time to be a huge mistake."
Having said that, Cissetta finally recovered his military nature, gradually calmed down, and was no longer easily controlled by emotions.
He took a deep breath, "What I said next, whether you believe it or not, but that is the fact I saw. Last night, after you all had a rest, Brother Liang came to me. He asked me very seriously. , Did I do it? I looked into his eyes and told him firmly that it was not me. He left. I also regret it now and shouldn't let him go back alone. Alas."
Hearing that, Nuer Ahong, Ou Xia Meng, and Samantha looked at each other, but there was only lingering fatigue in their eyes.
Samantha slowly picked up the pocket with the alloy rope from the side, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be sophistry. This rope has your fingerprints on it."
"What!" Cissetta was shocked, "This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. This is not even a fingerprint formed by grease, but the cuticle of your finger caused the deformation on both sides of the alloy rope, leaving physical fingerprints. In the base, the body is strong enough to leave a solid body on the surface of the alloy. Fingerprints, and with this power, only you. Even if your combat uniform cannot be used, your power as a professional soldier can achieve this effect. We have already done a comparison when you are in a coma, and it fits perfectly with your ten fingers. ."
"this…"
Cissetta's pupils dilated, completely dumbfounded.
Nur Ahun stood up and said, "Okay, the trial is over. Whether you admit it or not, we already know that you are the real murderer. Waiting for the military court's trial."
The iron door closed behind, and the three people outside UU Reading www.uukanshu.com sighed.
The three of them did not feel at ease after solving the case, only the melancholy about the unknown in the future.
Only Cissetta can manually control the ship, but he is the murderer, so safe evacuation becomes a luxury, and he can only wait for external rescue in the base. But the communication was delayed and unable to recover, no one knew what was going on outside and when the rescue would come.
Moreover, there are no professional soldiers, no intelligent weapons, and the energy shield outside the base has long been closed by itself. Of the remaining three people, only Nur Ahun has some combat effectiveness. Oxiameng and Samantha basically fight the five scum, the base The security force of J919 has slipped to the extreme. Once it is impacted by the aggressive native species on the J919, accidents may happen at any time.
…
The remaining three returned to the base hall, O'Xiameng asked for the alloy rope from Samantha and observed carefully.
After a long time, she said: "In fact, I still have a doubt. Look at this very shallow trace, it should be Liang Zhichu’s tooth print. It means that when the rope was wrapped around Liang Zhichu’s neck, it did not reach the bottom at first, but was He bit it. Although Cissetta could not use the combat uniform, with his strength and skill, how could Liang Zhichu have a chance to bite the rope? Or if Cissetta really played enough to make fingerprints on the surface of the alloy rope The power to leave fingerprints, then Liang Zhichu should start with his mouth and be strangled directly from his head. His head will be cut off."
"this…"
Nur Ahun groaned.
Samantha glanced at Nur Ahun quietly and vigilantly, and tentatively said, "Couldn't there be a fourth person in our base?"
"It's impossible!" Ou Xia Meng said in unison with Nur Ahun.
