The moon in full bloom

Before leaving China, Wen Huan only did two things, both were looking for someone.

One is to investigate the person who was in contact with the mother, and try to find the whereabouts of the password paper-but unfortunately, I can't find it. Even the voice heard by the mother may be the result of using a voice changer.

The second is to find the goth girl who is running away, or in other words, wait for the other party to come to her.

She did the second thing, and it didn't take long for the other party to take the initiative to send a message.

"How do you know that she will definitely come to us?" After hanging up the phone, Tao Qingyang tilted her head curiously.

Wen Huan smiled calmly: "Because the remuneration for the work I did last time hasn't been settled yet."

No wonder she dared to insist that the goth girl would not just disappear, and she would not be reconciled to it no matter what she didn't get the money...

The other party said that because the old nest could not hide anymore, I decided to transit in Los Angeles for a while. If I can adapt to it, I will live there. If it is not possible, I will go abroad by boat.

Calculating the time, they came to Los Angeles at about the same time as the Gothic girl. No wonder Wen Huan was eager to find each other. If it was later, they might not be able to contact each other after they went out to sea by boat.

At two o'clock in the morning, a noisy speakeasy.

On the small stage, there is no band screaming hoarsely, only the drunkards who are drunk. There is no need for accompaniment here, and the sound of quarreling and roaring is the best music.

"How do you hide like the rats in the sewer?" Wen Huan approached the bar with bullet holes and patted the shoulder of a woman who killed Matt.

The look of the goth girl is getting weirder and weirder, with dark nails, dark lips, and straight hair, as if she stepped on a switch, but Lily only covered half of her face with a cloak of the same color , a few strands of clean blond hair slipped out of the hood.

No one thought they were dressed strangely. Anyway, in this place, even if they didn't wear anything, no one would pay much attention.

At this time, Tao Qingyang was sleeping soundly in the hotel, Du Tangtang had already bought a midnight snack and returned to his house in the suburbs, everything was very quiet.

Only Wen Huan came here quietly.

In the end she decided to go alone, and before she left, she was entangled by Tao Qingyang, and discussed the issues of "a life that can share joys and sorrows is incomplete" and "do you still love me or not?" She promised to come back before six o'clock in the morning, and she would call the police if she didn't see anyone at that time, and she would let her go.

The goth girl turned her head, saw it was Wen Huan, and immediately stretched out a hand and said, "Let's agree on the remuneration last time, only cash is accepted."

"Help me with one more thing, and settle the bill together." Wen Huan smiled, sat next to her and stated the purpose straight to the point, ignoring the bartender's recommendation.

God knows if you drink something strange and illegal in this place.

"What?" The Gothic girl frowned, because Wen Huan couldn't hear what Wen Huan said clearly because of the loud noises around her.

Lily, who was silent at the side, paid for the drinks for the two of them, leaned into the ear of the goth girl and said, "Let's go back."

Leaving the underground bar, the place Wen Huan went to was not a safe and good place to live. On the contrary, it was an even more dilapidated basement, surrounded by stowaways as neighbors.

Goth girls are not considered poor, they can be said to be quite rich, but they just go wherever they want and never find a normal home for themselves.

"This is the safest place." She helped Wen Huan show the way, and led the people into the room.

Wen Huan lowered his head, not letting his head touch the low ceiling.Most hackers are good enough to rely on their own skills, but the goth girl is not taboo, she can take any job, earn a lot of money, and offend a lot of people.

"Why don't you consider changing your employment direction?" Wen Huan meant that she could clean herself up and find a decent job, even helping some companies with network maintenance.

Sitting down against the moldy wall with wallpaper, the goth girl turned on the computer and shook her head: "It's too late to change now. What do you want me to do?"

She has only one advantage. When Wen Huan came to him, he wouldn't ask her to perform a song and dance, right?

Lily also returned to her place and took on the job of monitoring.

"...About 12 years ago, the laboratory bombing at the University of Washington, I want all the information on the pair of scientists who lost their lives." Wen Huan said slowly, "It would be even better if we could get information about the experiments they conducted from the school .”

Following her prompt, the Goth girl quickly found the news.

Although a long time has passed, at the time, the impact of the bombing was quite large.The explanation given by the school was the tragedy caused by improper preservation of experimental raw materials.

There was a clicking sound of typing on the keyboard, and the goth girl moved very fast, scanning the screen at a glance. Wen Huan waited patiently for the result, looked left and right, but couldn't find a place to sit, so he simply sat in an abandoned on the host.

"There were quite a lot of discussions about the bombing back then...but I think you've seen it all. Check it out on the school's intranet." The last sentence of the goth girl was told to Lily.

According to news, most of the academic projects in the university are funded by investors and jointly researched by people from the school. The research group Mu Yi's parents were in at that time was a typical example. However, after the Goth girl invaded the school database, no relevant record of.

In other words, no one knows what they were studying back then.

"How could it be..." Wen Huan murmured, "Is it because too much time has passed?"

The goth girl looked at the screen and replied: "Probably not, as far as I know, the University of Washington has carried out a data digitization project a long time ago, and most of the old files are stored in computers... Of course, not After the bombing was ruled out, the relevant data was destroyed, and there is no way to save it. There is only so much information that can be obtained.”

After speaking, she watched Wen Huan and waited for her next instruction.

Wen Huan, who was biting his nails and thinking, didn't receive her eyes, "...No, there is another way. You can check the school's purchase list back then."

Want to find another way?

The goth girl nodded and turned away.

The clicking sound sounded again, singing in harmony with the sound of the second hand of the clock in the room, as if it would never stop.

……

The dutiful alarm clock screamed heart-rendingly, Tao Qingyang curled up in the pillow and fumbled for the phone.A hand rushed ahead to press the timer, her movements paused, and she immediately woke up.

The first ray of sunlight outside the window is struggling to squeeze out a ray of light from the tall buildings. The morning in a foreign country is nothing special because there are familiar people.

Looking at the person who just woke up with a smile, Wen Huan supported the edge of the bed with one hand, half of his body was hanging above Tao Qingyang, "Good morning."

"Morning..." Tao Qingyang rubbed his eyes, suddenly noticed something, and asked again, "You haven't slept all night?"

The other half of the bed was neat and untouched.

Wen Huan shook his head, indicating that he was not too sleepy.

Sure enough, he just came back.

Tao Qingyang yawned and got out of bed to wash up, "Hurry up and catch up on sleep."

Lying in the place where Tao Qingyang slept, Wen Huan didn't feel sleepy, and greeted him, "What would you like to eat? The buffet breakfast in this hotel is quite good."

"Well...anything is fine." With a toothbrush in his mouth, Tao Qingyang hurriedly finished washing, "Whatever you want, I'll bring it for you later."

Wen Huan thought for a while, and replied: "I don't really want to sleep, why don't I go downstairs with you, we still have tasks after dinner."

Recently, she had less and less time to rest and more and more time to wake up. Tao Qingyang's sleep quality was pretty good, but she couldn't share it with her.

Not only did I sleep less, but even the amount of food I ate became smaller.

Tao Qingyang was already hungry because of the bumps last night, and even ate two fried eggs. Wen Huan continued to poke the egg yolk with a fork, and his thoughts wandered away.

"eat."

"Oh... not too hungry."

The speed of the reply was also very slow, Tao Qingyang forcibly brought toasted bread and sausages to her, brought them to her, and threatened, "Eat it quickly! Otherwise, you will lose your good figure, and you will be flat front and back!"

Only then did Wen Huan slowly take a bite of his food.

"We're going to visit Mu Yi later." After eating his fill, Wen Huan looked tired, but his voice was full of energy. He went upstairs and took a document wrapped in a plastic cover, and stopped the car to go to the outskirts of the city. .

When Tao Qingyang heard her report the destination, he hesitated before asking: "It's so far... Is it easy to take a taxi when I come back?"

"If everything goes well, we won't have to come back." Wen Huan blinked mysteriously.

According to the address provided by Du Tangtang, the taxi left Los Angeles, and finally arrived when Tao Qingyang's demand for toilets reached a frenzy.

The taxi didn't stop directly in front of the villa, and Tao Qingyang needed to walk for more than ten minutes. Tao Qingyang walked very painfully.

It was a very old house, and all the windows were gray because no one had taken care of it for many years.Du Tangtang only cleaned the inside of the window yesterday, but she didn't have time to clean the outside. Now she is standing at the door, obviously waiting for a while.

"Mu Yi and I took care of this matter yesterday, and she agreed to see you." Seeing Wen Huan approaching, Du Tangtang smiled, glanced at Tao Qingyang again, pointed to the room with a clear expression, and said, "The toilet is here." in."

"Thank you!" Tao Qingyang immediately ran wildly.

Wen Huan smiled back at her, "So hidden? Let me take a taxi and walk, just to not reveal the doctor's address."

"No way, the company requires it." Du Tangtang spread his hands helplessly, "It's already very difficult for you to come here."

She was telling the truth, afraid of revealing the research content, Biton asked Mu Yi not to contact others during this period.

Tao Qingyang solved his personal problems, and when he came out of the toilet, he walked through the living room and found that there was an extra woman in it.Long curly hair with a somewhat messy aesthetic, round eyes like Garfield cat, looking at himself unhappily.

"Is it... Dr. Mu?" She asked tentatively.

Mu Yi nodded, and deliberately glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "I heard from my bodyguard that you have 10 minutes to explain your purpose."

This... is really inhumane and cold.

Tao Qingyang couldn't care less about sighing, but thought of a very serious problem: Wen Huan didn't come home last night, but he didn't know what she found out!

"...There are still 9 minutes." Mu Yi said coldly.

"Hi, I'm Wen Huan." A person walked in from outside the door, standing side by side with Tao Qingyang, smiling very softly and harmlessly.

Mu Yi lowered his eyes: "8 minutes."

Hearing this, he laughed lightly, and Wen Huan said to himself, "The legendary scientist is really rigorous."

Du Tangtang walked behind Mu Yi and whispered, "These two are my friends, they are very reliable."

Mu Yi's expression softened a bit, and he was still sitting upright.

"Then I'll get to the point." Taking out a document from her bag, Wen Huan put it in front of her, "This is the University of Washington's purchase list."

"Is this the important thing you told me?" Mu Yi didn't accept the document, and turned to ask Du Tangtang.

"...12 years ago." Wen Huan added.

Then Mu Yi's eyes became rounder, and he couldn't help flipping through them in his hand.

"Unfortunately, I didn't find the specific content of your parents' research, but in the school files, I found a list of items purchased that year."

They are all routine experimental equipment in the university, and the purchased reagents are also very common, including things specially supplied to various research institutes, and there is nothing unusual about them.

Because the research was carried out at school, Mu Yi's parents would definitely not do dangerous experiments, and the projects they were responsible for were funded by other companies, and every expenditure had to be reported, so the investigation was fairly clear.

No abnormality is the biggest abnormality.

It's been a long time, and where the accounts are not clear, she also calculated the possible purchases by checking the prices of the year.

Mu Yi's witnesses and the news of the year can both confirm one thing - the scale of the explosion was not small, and almost destroyed a building.But Wen Huan looked through the inventory for the past two years, but did not find anything that could cause an explosion.

Even if they made their own nitroglycerin, the school did not buy enough nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

"The death of your parents...maybe not that simple."
