Do you doubt me?

Xie Qingcheng is much more efficient when he is not surrounded by any of his juniors who would divert his energy.

He organizes his information daily, checks his cases, and goes to Miyu regularly for therapy.

The pain seemed to be numbing as well.

People are living more and more like machines, and naturally they don't feel much pain.

After some time, he made a new and important discovery based on the clues he had so far. He made this discovery by interviewing each and every member of the He Jiwei Laboratory staff, and the discovery came as a shock to him.

-- When Lv Zhishu was pregnant with He Yu, she helped her husband He Jiwei in the lab, and was accidentally infected, which almost led to an abortion, and finally she had to try to save the baby through RN-13. The lab where the leak occurred was headed by Wei Rong!

Xie Qingcheng had never thought before that there was actually such a past between Lv Zhishu and Wei Rong, or even a past relationship.

Wei Rong died in a car accident not long after Lv Zhishu finally received the RN-13 treatment, but strangely enough after all these years, Lv Zhishu seems to have no interest in RN-13, the forbidden drug that changed her life.

Xie Qingcheng smoked a cigarette alone at his desk on the night he got the clue, repeatedly thinking over the possibilities listed on his desk, and his ashtray gradually filled up.

At last he got up, and with a heavy heart went out into the alley outside the house, and lit another cigarette and began to smoke it, while behind him the writing-desk lamp shone on the almost scrawled paper.

On the face of the paper, most conspicuously, was the one which, after he had ruled it out, he was most unwilling to believe, but which was also the most probable--

"Lv Zhishu never in fact gave up on RN-13."

A few days after Xie Qingcheng discovered this detail, Zheng Jingfeng suddenly invited Xie Qingcheng to his home for dinner, saying he had something important to tell him.

Xie Qingcheng then went to the downtown room where Zheng Jingfeng himself lived, and when he arrived, Zheng Jingfeng was stewing braised pork chops on a small alcohol stove, and on the table were scrambled eggs with tomatoes, smoked fish, Shanghai green tofu soup, and two bottles of Erguotou, all very homemade dishes.

Alcohol stove simmering out of the braised pork chop has a kind of big pot in the burning out of the aroma, Zheng Jingfeng took off the apron, wiped his hands, to Xie Qingcheng said: "Sit down, when you were a child on the police station, you like to eat this in the office I opened a small stove, alcohol stove to do the braised pork chop, the taste is the same as your father, come on, pour some wine. "

"What did you want to see me about?"

Zheng Jingfeng looks a little difficult to talk, he pulled Xie Qingcheng at the table and sat down, Erguotou one person a small cup poured, and then picked up chopsticks and stared at the table full of food, thought about the wording, and finally said: "Eat a little bit first, let's eat and talk."

After Xie Qingcheng had eaten something and Zheng Jingfeng had finally said something, Xie Qingcheng realized why he wished he had laid down his chopsticks first-because what Zheng Jingfeng said next really made him lose his appetite. Xie Qingcheng realized why he wished that he had put down his chopsticks first - because what Zheng Jingfeng said next really made him lose his appetite.

"After Jiang Liping left, we've been working on the case to fill in the gaps. Although the high-speed explosion happened so hastily at the time that she wasn't able to tell us any more clues, and there wasn't any more evidence left behind at the scene, she still solved some mysteries for us in the end, and gave us a general direction for the investigation as well." Zheng Jingfeng took a sip of erguotou, smacked it, and sighed, "I, because I know who that biggest 'ghost' in the city bureau is, the less he wants us to go into details about something, the more I'll favor to sneak into something, and as a result, guess what? I found a cowhide notebook in one of Huang Zhilong's private villas."

"Huang Zhilong's notes?"

"Jiang Liping's notes." Zheng Jingfeng muffled another mouthful of wine, then poured a new glass, sighing something, and slowly poured it on the ground, "Maybe everyone else will think it's Huang Zhilong's stuff, but as soon as I looked at the handwriting, I recognized it, it's the handwriting of my informant ...... "

Xie Qingcheng frowned, "She's wearing a leak-monitoring bracelet on her hand, so she shouldn't be able to divulge any important secrets, even in writing."

Zheng Jingfeng : "That's right. But that notebook of hers is her way of testing which information she should never reveal and which information can be alluded to in a different way of expression. There are a lot of cryptic phrases written in the book that she tries to describe, and I've been interpreting them over the past few months."

"How did it turn out?"

"There is a lot of very useful information, Jiang Liping was an amazing woman. Even after she passed away, she gave us invaluable clues. We have now identified a number of targets that closely match the content of her metaphors, and those would have been the targets of Duan Wen's cooperation in China, in addition to the deceased Huang Zhilong, Liang Jicheng, and Wang Jiankang, as well as academics, corrupted public officials, and major entrepreneurs. "

Xie Qingcheng: "How many quantities?"

Zheng Jingfeng: "There are four people who can match the information with 100% certainty, but those four are not considered high level, and their level is far lower than Huang Zhilong's. However, there is one company that belongs to the very high level of that organization, just like Huang Zhilong, that we have pinpointed. Currently, the information matches at around sixty percent, which means that this company is most likely the other big leader that Jiang Liping is alluding to, and its sins are no less, if not more, than those of Zhilong Entertainment, as it is the one responsible for the research of banned drugs and direct biochemical testing - a pharmaceutical company. "

Xie Qingcheng's face suddenly turned white when he heard this, and the hand that was squeezing the wine glass was slightly shaking.

Even though Zheng Jingfeng hadn't even named the pharmaceutical company yet, he already had a clear picture in his mind - which pharmaceutical company was involved enough to require Zheng Jingfeng to come and talk to him personally?

Xie Qingcheng didn't want to wait for Zheng Jingfeng to pronounce judgment on him, but opened his mouth directly, stared up at Zheng Jingfeng, and went straight to the point: "What do you mean? You're saying He's family makes pharmaceuticals?"

Zheng Jingfeng smothered the erguotou and said, "You yourself know very well what I mean."

"......"

"In Jiang Liping's notes after the decryption, she pointed out that the pharmaceutical company was Duan Wen's biggest biochemical partner in China, and that underneath the glamorous packaging of the company's overseas business, all it did were experiments on and sales of banned substances. drugs that are not ethical at all and have not been subjected to strict medical monitoring and auditing. They do not hesitate to cause a large number of illnesses and even deaths, just hoping to glean data from these cases that are directly applicable to the human body."

Distinctly summer, Lao Zheng stingy, through the room did not open the air conditioning, just the electric fan in the head shaking and turning.

But Xie Qingcheng is in a cold sweat.

Zheng Jingfeng paused for a moment, looking across the table of almost untouched home-cooked food to Xie Qingcheng's pale, colorless face.

"Usually, the police investigated things, I will not talk to you more, this is my principle. I made an exception in this case, because I can see that you and that little He ...... should be called Mr. He now, right, you and that Mr. He are very close, according to my observation, your relationship with him is even closer than you and Chen Yan."

Xie Qingcheng put down his glass of wine, and with a slight dizziness in front of his eyes, he did his best to calm himself down and said, "He Yu is not this kind of person."

"I wish he wasn't like that, but people change, especially when they don't get what they want." Zheng Jingfeng said, "The corporate structure of He's family Pharmaceuticals, when He Jiwei was still alive, was that he and Lv Zhishu were in charge of both domestic and foreign affairs, with foreign affairs basically being handled by Lv Zhishu, and He Jiwei had little to do with them. If He's family group is really the enterprise described in Jiang Liping's notes, according to the way their company operates, it is only He Jiwei who has a certain possibility to be exonerated."

After a pause, Zheng Jingfeng said, "He Yu is different."

"......" Xie Qingcheng thought about the clues he had in his hands - Lv Zhishu most likely hadn't given up on RN-13 research at all.

Combine this with Zheng Jingfeng's current statement that Lv Zhishu was in charge of overseas marketing for He's family pharmaceuticals over the years, and it does seem very likely ......

"You should have seen the news over this period of time. Mr. Little He is different from Mr. Old He, after he took over his father's position, even the overseas projects that Mr. Old He just stamped a general seal and wouldn't ask questions about, he was personally involved in. The outside world is also saying, his mother was stimulated, the body all of a sudden can not, thanks to He Yu is still asking people to treat her carefully, which slowly have signs of recovery." Zheng Jingfeng said, "As far as I knew earlier, the mother-son relationship between Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao He was not close, but Mr. Xiao He took very good care of his mother after his father's death, which is very much not in line with this young man's logic of action. What do you think is the reason?"

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes and said, "He lost his father and probably doesn't want to lose his mother again."

"You know in your heart it won't be because of this."

"...... Lv Zhishu had a lot of compensatory behavior towards He Yu a long time ago, just that He Yu didn't give her a chance, and now she's mentally and physically collapsed all of a sudden." Xie Qingcheng said, "He Yu is a person who doesn't like to bully the soft and it's possible that he would make such a choice."

Zheng Jingfeng said, "Then let's say you're right that there is such a reason in place. But I have a second inference here that you should hear."

"......"

"After He Jiwei's death, He Yu inherited all of He Jiwei's property and identity that could be dealt with separately, and the shareholding of He's family was almost the same for Lv Zhishu and He Jiwei. In the past, He Jiwei and Lv Zhishu were able to maintain a balance, but He Yu was a newborn, and neither his mother nor his younger brother had an outwardly positive attitude toward his assumption of power. He Yu must have been well aware of this. At this point, he took over almost all of the He's family group's overseas operations on his own initiative, in order to keep Lu's lifeblood in his own hands until his mother had recovered from the shock of her illness."

Old Zheng paused for a moment, then said: "Although I and that young man met not a few times, but I can feel that he is far from his appearance looks so easy-going, he can be ruthless, but also open-minded, he is not the kind of will be willing to be subjected to ordinary children, in his and his mother's power struggle, he can be completely can be the one to create the Xuanwumen shock change. "

"He Yu does have such a character." Xie Qingcheng raised his eyes to Zheng Jingfeng, "But there's one thing you haven't taken into account."

"What?"

"He's not outlawed, much less willing to go out and hurt other patients with drugs."

"......"

"He was once willing to risk his life to return to a fire in order to save the patients of the Cheng Kang psychiatric hospital, do you remember this?"

Zheng Jingfeng remained silent for a moment and said, "I wouldn't be willing to make that inference if I wasn't sure he handled all the international business. Yes, I remember him saving those patients. But Xie Qingcheng, I still say the same thing I just said--people change. Especially when he has something he desperately wants."

Xie Qingcheng looked steadily at Zheng Jingfeng, and after a moment said, "At this point, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to change."

"Why are you so confident in him?"

"Because I think I know him." After a tasteless meal, Xie Qingcheng got up and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, then I'll go home first."

Zheng Jingfeng also followed and stood up, he said to Xie Qingcheng who had already walked to the door, "You can't trust him too much, because now all the clues have pointed to He Yu this person is not simple now, you can't be so emotional ...... "

"I'm not being emotional, making this judgment is the result of my rational thinking." Xie Qingcheng looked at him sideways from the doorway, "Old Zheng, it's true that I don't want to antagonize him, and I don't want to be disappointed in him. But if one day, he does commit such a thing as you said - as long as it is indeed him who committed it -"

He paused for a moment, his glazed eyes looking at Zheng Jingfeng without avoidance, and said in a single word.

"Then I know exactly what I have to do for myself. You don't have to worry about that."

Xie Qingcheng collapsed into a chair in exhaustion when he got home, his heart was in turmoil, and although he believed that He Yu would not mess around with banned substances such as RN-13, he was not so optimistic about Lv Zhishu s situation.

All the coincidences in Wei Rong s old story seem to be pointing in one direction, and he has also had a presumption - back then, in Wei Rong s laboratory, because of the leakage of hazardous substances in the laboratory, Lv Zhishu was injured during pregnancy and had to use RN-13 to save her own life and the child, and this matter he He already knew about it. And he also knew that Lv Zhishu's character slowly began to change after that, and finally became this kind of character now.

With Lv Zhishu's transformed character, could she harbor a grudge against Wei Rong? Could she have planned Wei Rong's death? After Wei Rong's death, could Lv Zhishu have taken all of Wei Rong's personal experimental data, including RN-13 and other drugs in development?

If that's the case, then things fit perfectly with what Zheng Jingfeng said ......

The more Xie Qingcheng thought about it, the more he felt that he could see the light of day, however, the creepiness also deepened.

--

Assuming that Lv Zhishu did later collude with Duan Wen, it becomes logical that this organization of Duan Wen would have known that He Yu was a Blood Compass.

He was still wondering why that organization didn't rush to take action against He Yu even though they knew that He Yu was a Blood Compass, but according to this inference, the reason could be explained, that is, the Blood Compass was actually under their surveillance already. Lv Zhishu was the watcher beside He Yu, so they naturally did not need to take it by force.

In a flash of lightning, Xie Qingcheng suddenly remembered that before they parted ways with Jiang Liping at the Zhilong Entertainment Building that day, Jiang Liping had tried to remind He Yu of something, but halfway through her speech, she seemed to have triggered the warning of the Leakage Bracelet, and so she didn't go on. What she spoke out at the time seemed to be:

"Beware of the fat- that's good for you."

Was it "fat woman" she was trying to imply? Only in the end, the intent was still monitored by the bracelet, and the description was judged to be too dangerous to describe in front of the three of them.

All the clues came together from all sides like a jigsaw puzzle, slowly piecing together and taking shape, revealing the true face of that horror that had been hidden for twenty years.

If all this extrapolation is true, then ......

Xie Qingcheng got up and opened his cell phone address book.

He'll have to talk to He Yu, he thought.
