Brain Science Event Book

Tang Yingli considers that her prudence and careful planning are her major strengths.

But occasionally there are mistakes!

She left the Criminal Division at around 10:[-]; because the address seemed very close, she didn't check the map in advance. She didn't expect that the residence was located in a mountainous area, and the drive took [-] to [-] minutes!

What she visited was a ceramic artist named Chi Shangping, who was well-known in the art and literature circles. Although he was over eighty years old, he was still quite active. He only had a solo exhibition before the Lunar New Year.

But the meeting was imminent, but she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Being an artist, being old, and being very active means that you should be in good physical condition——all the necessary conditions for a "strange old man with a weird temper and a hot personality" are all in place.

She who rang the doorbell sincerely hoped that Chi Shangping would not be this kind of person, because she was late!

Explaining the purpose of coming through the walkie-talkie, the woman who answered said "wait a moment", followed by more than 3 minutes of silence.

Then, the door opens.

It was Chi Shangping himself who answered, "Remember to close the door! ’ The tone was fierce.

Oops, that seems to have backfired!

However, the Japanese-style garden of this private mansion is very elegant; the outer walls are separated by trees and bamboo fences, which seems to be natural.The only unnatural thing was the iron door she had just passed.

"Sorry to keep you waiting outside." The old lady who received her smiled with lovely crow's feet. "Would you like to have an appointment with my husband?"

"Yes! I'm very sorry." It's been more than 7 minutes.

"He almost drove me away!" She lowered her voice, "It's because I said that he traveled all the way, and he hasn't been interviewed by a magazine for a long time, so he's a bit lonely and cold! That's why I decided to let you in."

"Actually, I'm not here for an interview..." she muttered, but the old woman didn't hear.

The whole house is furnished in the same style as the courtyard. The living room is covered with exquisite tatami mats. Chi Shangping sits at one end, and tea is already placed in front of the seat cushion opposite.

"Miss Tang?"

"Yes, first time meeting, Mr. Chi, hello. I'm Tang Yingli!"

"sit down!"

Tang Yingli took off his scarf and sat on his knees with a solemn and impeccable posture.

Suddenly, he said fiercely, "You're late!"

"I'm very sorry! Mr. Chi is still willing to see me, I am very grateful."

"Hmm..." The old man stared at her for a few seconds and then crossed his arms, "I've seen a lot of people who are late for an appointment at my house! But it's the first time I've met someone like you who is not in a hurry to find an excuse for yourself. .”

Huh?The attitude has clearly changed!

"It's because I didn't manage my time well."

"Hmph! Do you have something to ask me?"

"Yes." She took out her notebook and mobile phone, "Uh! Just now your wife mistook me for a reporter..." This point needs to be clarified.

"That old woman is really! I have told her several times, here are scientists! Scientists!"

Unexpectedly, he still remembers the self-introduction during the phone call?

"You have a good memory!"

"Just kidding! I'm an artist!" He took a sip of tea proudly, "It's really rare for girls to study quantum mechanics..."

She retracts her foreword!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tang Yingli finally got to the point.

"I heard you did this?"

The mobile phone screen showed the broken ceramic artwork.

Chi Shangping put on his presbyopic glasses, "This..."

"I'm sorry, this item is placed in the evidence storage of the Criminal Division, so there are only photos." Chi Shangping took the phone and looked at it carefully. She watched and spoke cautiously. "It looks like a cow when put together, do you have any impression?"

"Of course! This thing... is a flawed product!"

She was stunned; it seemed to bring back unpleasant memories, he was rude when he returned the phone. "It was crudely made in my name, under the name of an artist, and it was limited! It was very expensive! Because of this, I was so angry that I fired my brother... who was my manager at the time, but he almost It died years ago!"

"So, you didn't actually make this one..."

"Yes!" he interrupted, "but I only made three; but this one ended up selling 88!"

So that's it... It's like using Chi Shangping's reputation as a cover to make a fortune, but the actual product is not from him.

"I have two for my father and my mother-in-law, and the last one is still here!" He stood up from the cushion neatly, "Come on! I'll show you!"

Even though he was over eighty years old, Chi Shangping still walked like flying, and Tang Yingli had to step up to keep up.

There was a workshop behind the house that belonged to him; a considerable amount of wood was piled outside, apparently for fuel.

He opened the door proudly, pointing to the wall full of works. "That cow is over there. Be careful, it's not for sale!"

Tang Yingli approached and saw the cow in a corner of the work wall. The bright red glaze seemed to be shining through. She compared it with the photo. Although the cow in the evidence bag was broken, the face was blurred and rough. It is completely different from the deity's meticulous carving.

"Which one is handmade and which one is made from a mold, you can tell at a glance, right?" She nodded blankly.

"Since you didn't make it... then you probably don't know who you sold it to?" Although it is limited, there are as many as 88 pieces, and it is very old. Will there be a sales record?

"I just heard from you that this is in the criminal department...Aren't you a scientist? How could you have anything to do with the police?"

"I am a brain scientist and I am currently assisting the police in handling the case. This evidence belongs to an unsolved case 28 years ago. The owner and his wife were killed by unknown intruders. Only the six-year-old daughter survived. The police found this at the murder scene. It's just a broken cow." She bit her lips in disappointment, "I thought that as long as I found the source of the production, I might be able to further clarify the truth! It's a pity..."

"Oh? Then you must be the one..."

"In short! Thank you for your assistance, I will try to find other clues."

"Wait a minute!" He stopped Tang Yingli who was about to leave, "There is a number."

"serial number?"

"Hmm! There is a limited number of this defective product, each one has a number, and because it is sold by appointment, it is registered!" He rubbed his beard, "Computers were not very popular back then, so they were all written by hand. ; I remember my brother had a registration form."

This sentence rekindled her hope! "Is that registration form still there?"

"It's still there, it's just... I said that my brother died a few years ago, and everything is piled up in the warehouse upstairs. It must take a lot of time to find it!" Looking at Tang Yingli, Chi Shangping finally smiled, "But I You look like you are determined to find out that registration form!"

Her eyes were as bright as two burning flames.

"Let's go! Look for it, and my wife and I will look for it with you!"

***

In the huge conference hall of the Criminal Police Bureau, it was not a high-ranking officer standing on the podium, but a petite woman.

"...No matter how strong a person is, they will definitely need other support behind them; there is no shame in asking for help. The people's nannies who always help the people usually have the same reason to seek help from others."

The gentle voice spread throughout the venue through the microphone. Lian Huizhu looked around at everyone present and said firmly: "If you have any questions, please feel free to use the phone or message for consultation; I hope today's content can bring substantial help!"

At the end, there was warm applause from all the police officers present.

it is finally over!It was rare for her to speak in front of so many people, suppressing her inner tension, deliberately and slowly packing up her speech; the atmosphere at the end of the meeting was very laid-back and lazy, and she didn't notice anyone approaching until the visitor called her name.

"Lian Huizhu!"

Startled, she looked up at a dark and unfamiliar face.

"You are?"

"He Jiahao!" The boy waved his ID, "Don't you remember?"

She widened her eyes, remembering that the police officer in front of her was her classmate in high school! "You...are you on duty in Taipei?"

"I was transferred here! I didn't expect to meet you here; you who were keen on studying the brain back then became a psychiatrist." He showed a sunny smile, "This profession is very suitable for you!"

She pinched her nose shyly, "Thank you!"

"By the way...how did you get invited to give a speech?"

"Oh! Because my medical school classmate works in the Criminal Division, I came here at his invitation."

"Student from medical school? In the Criminal Division?"

"Hmm! It's a forensic doctor..." A sudden white flashed in the corner of her eyes, she pouted and pointed to the door, "Say everyone is here!"

When He Jiahao turned his head, he saw a tall handsome guy with slightly curly hair and wearing a white robe striding forward. His appearance reminded him inexplicably of a male star in a Korean drama?

"It's over? I think you're good! Did you speak fluently?"

"You must not have listened to the end from the beginning. I was super nervous from the beginning to the actual case!"

"I can't tell!" Tao Qianya noticed He Jiahao who was standing aside, "You made new friends so quickly?"

"What new friend? He's me..."

"I'm He Jiahao, a policeman from the Shilin Branch, and I'm Lian Huizhu's high school classmate!" He offered his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Tao Qianya, and I'm in charge of dissecting remains related to criminal cases." He shook hands with her and raised his eyebrows at Lian Huizhu. Classmates from different periods?"

"Stop talking! I'm often called "Doctor Lien" by passers-by."

"After all, you have a lot of patients!" He saw her carrying bags, "Do you need help?"

"No, I'll carry it myself." Lian Huizhu picked up the backpack, and then lightly picked up the handbag. "By the way...how long are you going to hold it?"

Her teasing eyes prompted He Jiahao to let go.

The three of them walked out of the meeting room together. Even though Hui Zhu had a chat with He Jiahao, the main chatter was Tao Qianya, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly the radio came calling! "Yeah... Received! I'm going back!"

"Are you going back?"

"Well... Let's talk again when we have a chance!" He forced a smile, looking at Tao Qianya with a somewhat complicated look.

Watching He Jiahao run away, Lian Huizhu couldn't help but smile. "I didn't expect him to become a police officer. I used to hate him so much!"

"hate him?"

"Hmm! He likes to bully the girls in the class, especially me and another classmate who was very close at that time."

"Oh!" Tao Qianya suddenly realized. "No wonder he has such an expression!"

"what expression?"

"It's okay! Are you off today?" Seeing Lian Huizhu nodding, he smiled and said, "I'll treat you to afternoon tea!"

Finally found the record sheet, Tang Yingli reproduced it, and solemnly thanked Chi Shangping and his wife for helping her find it.

Although not every purchaser's information was filled out in detail in the record, it was already a very valuable clue; she could not wait to fly back immediately to see if there was a fragment with a number in the evidence bag!

In the taxi, she checked the handwritten records repeatedly; as long as she confirmed the serial number and compared the information on the form, she might be able to follow the route to find the buyer and know who sent this item to the house...

and the hidden meaning behind it.

When Tang Yingli arrived at the office, it was nearly four o'clock. As soon as Tang Yingli walked in, he found that the entire criminal team was almost empty.

"Teacher, you are back!" Cai Yuwei took off his earphones and waved to her.

"Ah." She pointed to the empty seat, "Isn't the speech over yet?"

"It's over! I'm listening; hey, even if it's a speech, even the doctor's voice still sounds so gentle..." He looked fascinated.

"Then why are there so few people?"

"It seems that two cases were reported at the same time, so... Lian, Doctor Lian?" Cai Yuwei widened his eyes, and then rubbed twice vigorously. "No way? You, why are you still here!"

"It's Officer Cai? That's great! Suddenly a few corpses came... Tao Qianya hurried into the operating room, and he asked me to come up and help find a... brain teacher?" She walked in cautiously, "He said as long as If you say this nickname, people here will know, does Officer Cai know who is the brain teacher?"

"Hmm! Teacher Brain is here..."

Before Cai Yuwei finished speaking, standing in front of him, a woman in a black coat slowly turned her head.

Lian Huizhu's heart skipped a beat, and the woman in front of her was exactly the same as in her memory in terms of hairstyle, appearance, temperament, even the big round frameless glasses and rose-colored lips.

"I'm what you're looking for..."

"Sister!"

She held her breath and faced Tang Yingli with tears in her eyes. "I remember you! Eri-senpai, do you remember me?"

Tao Qianya was right.

The world is really small.
