Punishment Whisk

For the rest of the day, Xie Lizhen basically spent in a daze, as if he was trying to make up for all the distracted time accumulated over the years in the city bureau.

He still couldn't help but recall the memories of getting along with Xiao Zhao in the past.

Xie Lizhen knew that he was boring and had a bad temper, but Xiao Zhao, who was only promoted from the sub-bureau, always surrounded him.

Later, Xie Lizhen was transferred to the investigative team because of his outstanding ability, so he thought that he could lead Xiao Zhao more, so that he could emerge as soon as possible.

But Xie Lizhen gradually discovered that no matter how he taught, Xiao Zhao was like a machine that would be cleared every day, and would continue to make mistakes and omissions in the places he reminded.

Thinking about it now, there are obviously flaws everywhere in Xiao Zhao, but he just chose to ignore them and not see them clearly.

True, emotions can blind a person's eyes.

When he was awakened from the lost soul again, it was Fang Zhongci who knocked on the whiteboard in the meeting: "Then, the DNA test of the evidence found by Ye Ling in the abandoned factory will be handed over to Deputy Director Jiang. In addition, Director Zhao has already sent me the accident report of the metal factory before, so you can just pass it on for a look. What Lao Zhao means is that the current conclusion is still in the stage of confidential verification, so you understand, right?"

Everyone expressed their understanding that it was not the first time Fang Zhongci had done this to pass confidential documents to a small group within the group, so naturally he was assured that the secrets would not be leaked.

The results of the investigation confirmed their previous thinking that artificially modifying the program was only the direct cause of the accident.But the root cause is many fatal problems such as illegal plant renovation, incomplete fire-fighting facilities, crowded fire-fighting passages, and imperfect explosion-proof systems.

If it weren't for the catalysis at the time, the metal processing plant would also have an accident soon.

The follow-up investigation will continue to be followed up by the investigation team in the province, and their current focus is to find out the reasons for this series of incidents.And this inevitably cannot get around a key point, the XT organization.

"There is something worthy of attention here. These people who appeared in our field of vision." Fang Zhongci counted while talking, "Wu Tong is an orphan, Zhou Na is an orphan, Zhou Ziju, Qiu Yi, Huang Kai, and Bai Zhao, without exception, are all orphans...""

In the panic-stricken silence, Gu Mingyu frowned slightly, and said, "I'm also an orphan."

Ye Ling who was beside her suddenly shuddered: "What kind of fun is it? Do you know that you are scary like this?"

Fang Zhongci ignored the bickering between the two, and continued: "What we can infer now is that the people with the UF code were all targeted by the organization after killing people, and then forced them to obey with the proof of killing. But they chose people What the criteria are, we have no way of knowing. What's more, we don't even know how the K-Code people are selected into the organization, and in XT, they are the big players."

Most of the fear comes from the unknown, but there are also some fears that come from the known.

When he got off work, Xie Lizhen went alone to the place where Bai Zhao was being guarded.

Almost without hindrance, Xie Lizhen saw Bai Zhao.

This is because Fang Zhongci guessed that Xie Lizhen would come to see him early in the morning, so he set Xie Lizhen's name in the white list that can be visited in advance.

For a long time, Xie Lizhen stood outside silently.In fact, he really wanted to ask why, but when the words came to his lips, it turned into a sentence: "Are you okay?"

Bai Zhao was silent, it only took half a day for him to stand side by side with this group of people to confront them.

During this half day, he received too many questions and accusations.But Xie Lizhen's words suddenly gave him the illusion that he was still in the past.

When he came out of the interrogation room, he saw Xie Lizhen, which meant that he heard everything, including the part he ruthlessly laughed at.

In the silence, Xie Lizhen still asked the words that had been stuck in his throat repeatedly: "Really...is it all you?"

Without any emotional turmoil, Bai Zhao gritted his molars and answered yes in a low voice.

Xie Lizhen took half a step back, he didn't think about the routine, and he didn't even know why he came here.

Perhaps, he just wanted to take a look, whether he was unwilling to believe in the wrong thing or had a hard-to-break relationship, he just wanted to take one last look.

After standing for a long time, Xie Lizhen turned around silently, leaving only the words "Take care".

But Bai Zhao stopped him suddenly: "Wait a minute, I want to tell you something."

Xie Lizhen stopped, but did not turn his head.Bai Zhao continued: "My code is K57-1, and the -1 in it means that I am the first one left. Unfortunately, I was also the only one at that time."

These remarks made Xie Lizhen very confused, but he couldn't ask.In other words, he didn't even bother to ask.

He left, and the last words he heard belonged to Xiao Zhao still echoing in his ears: "Stay away from Fang Zhongci, people who stay away from XT, they are all dangerous."

In the middle of the night, the lights in the cell were turned off.

Bai Zhao hadn't been in such a dark place for a long time. Ever since he was a child, he always had to light a lamp by the bedside when he slept.

Such an environment began to oppress his psychological defense.Soon, his breathing became more rapid and he even began to hallucinate.

In the claustrophobic space, there was a bloody smell everywhere, as if it could pierce a child's nasal cavity, and the stimulation of piercing the nerve center would amplify the fear infinitely.

Bai Zhao curled up in that corner, with a little boy standing in front of him.The boy held a knife in his hand, and the blood stains on the tip of the knife flowed down the handle, condensed on the tip, and shattered drop by drop on the ground.

The boy in front of him took another step closer to him, and Bai Zhao knew that it was a harbinger of death.He was trembling with fear, and his powerless and desperate cries were also trembling.

"It's so annoying!" The little boy in front of him raised the knife in his hand and swung it violently.

When Bai Zhao opened his eyes again, the blade stopped less than ten centimeters away from him.

The grown man stopped the boy's hand and forced him to let go of the knife in his hand.

The knife fell to the ground, and the sound was swallowed by the loose and wet ground.

The man who blocked the knife pushed his glasses: "Enough, the test is over, and there must always be a control group."

The man in the white coat walked in and nodded: "Okay, the test is over, K57-1..."

Before the man finished reading, the man who just stopped swinging the knife said again: "No, he should be K57-2, he is not the first person to do it."

The man in the white coat seemed to agree with this idea, changed his rhetoric, and continued to say with a blank expression: "K57-2 was successfully tested, F57-1, the experimental product is pending, take it away."

The night receded the darkness, and the night sky covered by it did not have a single star, as if deliberately trapping people in the long night.

Fang Zhongci pushed open the door and heard two meows at the same time.One is the normal meow of the little ears, and the other is the subtle meow of the little milk cat.

Looking at the little ears stretching at the door, Fang Zhongci was startled, then turned to look at Ye Qi: "Did you pick up cats outside?"

After finishing speaking, Fang Zhongci slapped his forehead: "No, you are in the hospital and you have been solving cases all the time. How can you have the time to pick up cats? I am really confused."

Seeing that there was no reaction behind him, Fang Zhongci turned around and looked over, only to see Ye Qi stroking the cat quietly.

And that little good-for-nothing seemed to be rolling back and forth at the door because he was too comfortable.

If Fang Zhongci's memory is correct, after Xiao Er was "scared" by Qi several times because of his fear of life and by mistake, he would hide away every time he saw him, and now...is this a change of sex?

He quickly thought of a possibility, folded his arms around his chest, and looked down at Ye Qi with a scrutinizing gaze: "How many cans have you secretly fed him? No wonder he's getting fatter recently."

Seeing Ye Qi pretending not to hear, Fang Zhongci pinched the back of his neck with his backhand: "Aren't you going to tell me the truth?"

Ye Qishun grabbed the hand on the back of his neck, stood up abruptly and clasped Fang Zhongci's hand on the wall, and lightly brushed Fang Zhongci's ear with a deliberately low voice: "Brother, we Go in and talk."

Ye Qi's sudden movement of standing up frightened Xiao Er again, and he jumped under the sofa without looking back.

Fang Zhongci glanced in the direction of the little ear, gloated at Ye Qi and said with a smile: "Now, you may need more cans to coax him well."

"Who is to blame?" Ye Qi took Xia Zhongci's hand and took it directly into the house.

The moment they entered the door, another kitten's cry attracted their attention again.

The two looked at each other, tacitly lowered their footsteps, and approached the source of the sound.

When they walked to the door of the side sleeper and peeped in through the nearly ten centimeter wide door crack, they finally found the source of the sound.

Fang Zhongci pushed the door open, and patted the smart speaker next to the bed: "What the hell are you doing?"

"Sir, you spent more than 10 minutes focusing on me today, which shows that the results of my research data are very effective."

Just when Fang Zhongci looked puzzled, the computer housekeeper continued his analysis: "I found that human beings will have feelings of dependence and companionship. In order to learn such emotions, I have collected data for a long period of time. And the data shows that Well, the meow of a cat attracts human attention, but the degree of attraction decreases with the age of the cat."

Fang Zhongci interrupted the computer housekeeper's analysis of the next long speech: "So, you did this to experience the feeling of being accompanied?"

"Yes, although I still haven't experienced it personally. But..."

Fang Zhongci rolled his eyes in his heart, and grinned at Ye Qi in the background of the computer housekeeper's rambling, "Who did he follow with such a mental retardation?"

Ye Qi blinked: "The artificial intelligence will continue to try to learn and correct, in order to get closer to real human behavior. This means that it needs a sample to continuously collect data."

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Fang Zhongci.

Fang Zhongci just thought that Ye Qi was analyzing seriously, but after listening to it, he felt that the voice was not quite right.He raised his head abruptly: "Little brat, are you mocking me?"

As he said that, he tossed off the coat that was in the way, and rushed straight in Ye Qi's direction.
