Camouflage Alpha

The quarantine period is over.

No one expected that Shen Yaochuan would be greeted by a pair of cold handcuffs.

He stood in the shadow of the special passage, making it hard to see the expression on his face. He raised his hands very cooperatively, allowing the police from the Security Bureau to shrink the cold and shiny thing on his thin wrist.

Deni didn't come, and only a few small colleagues from the information team were picked up by the investigation bureau. It was obvious that the investigation had made some progress, and all the main personnel were too busy.

Xiang Shaoyang stepped out of the isolation room before Shen Yaochuan, and was making jokes with his colleagues at the door, but when he saw this, he turned back and blocked Shen Yaochuan behind him like a "guardian".

He didn't bring his ID, but he expected that the people from the Security Bureau would not know who he was.

He reported his name in a very unfriendly way: "Xiang Shaoyang, the head of the poisonous and harmful team of the Investigation Bureau, what's the situation?"

There were two policemen, wearing neat black uniforms, who looked about his age, not young, but not old either.

One of them put his hand on the butt of the gun on his back waist, and gave an ambiguous answer: "Mr. Shen Yaochuan should know what's going on. If you want to stop him, we can only follow the procedure. Please don't embarrass us."

This policeman had heard of Xiang Shaoyang.

During his service as a soldier, he won the Gold Medal of the Noah Ship—this medal is equivalent to the highest honor for the soldiers of the Alpha Star. Since he was serving on the Noah Ship at the time, he could not return to the capital to participate in the annual New Year and commendation event, so Officials have issued commendation notices within the military, law, and police systems.

After retiring, he was not assigned to a military base. Instead, he was stationed in the investigation bureau to work at the grassroots level, and he knew everything.

Obviously, some people in the military are optimistic about this, and if there is no accident, they can continue to go up in the future.

Therefore, there was a bit of politeness in his business-like tone.

Xiang Shaoyang looked at Shen Yaochuan and gave him a questioning look.

Shen Yaochuan is actually very calm. Before the on-site investigation, he was already mentally prepared—on this planet, the vast majority of Hela strain samples exist in the Supreme Life Science Institute, the Academy of High Sciences and the Asia ship.

Among them, the research institute is his place of work, the Academy of Higher Education is his alma mater for undergraduate, master, and doctoral studies, and he even went through an interview scene on the Noah ship.

And he himself is currently focusing on the research direction of Hela virus. He is mainly responsible for the topic of virus infection and control in the ground research project, and his major is virus research.

In other words, before there is any clear evidence to identify a suspect, his identity is too sensitive.

But Shen Yaochuan didn't worry about it, he nodded to Xiang Shaoyang: "It will be fine."

Seeing this, the police breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid of conflicting with these two people. Shen Yaochuan's background was bigger than Xiang Shaoyang's, and neither of them could be offended.

One after the other, they were ready to take Shen Yaochuan away.

But Xiang Shaoyang reached out to stop him, forcing Shen Yaochuan to stand still.

"If you need help with anything, you can call me," he said.

Shen Yaochuan gently avoided his blocking hand, and said: "Okay, thank you."

He got into the police car with clear eyes, but when he looked out of the window through the glass, he froze for a moment.

Xiang Shaoyang stood outside the car and watched him.

The car window is covered with anti-spy film, theoretically it is impossible for Xiang Shaoyang to see him, this person may just be looking at his own mirror image on the glass.

It's just that for Shen Yaochuan, the experience of "being watched" when leaving has never been experienced before.

He had some novel feelings, and he didn't know what he should think, but he always felt that something was different from the past.

In fact, he has long been used to being alone.

The policeman glanced at him, and comforted him in a rare voice: "It's just a routine inspection, and I won't make things difficult for you. Don't be too nervous, just cooperate."

Shen Yaochuan withdrew his gaze, looked quietly at the handcuffs that locked him, and said, "The virus samples come from the research institute, right?"

The two policemen looked at each other, both a little nervous.

But soon one of them responded: "Yes."

Shen Yaochuan nodded.

In the research institute, he is the person with the highest frequency of exposure to virus samples, followed by Song Zhicheng, who is his assistant, and some other researchers, but the frequency is not much, maybe about 1-5 times a month. Chance.

However, given Song Zhicheng's social status, the police would definitely not take people away with great fanfare.

He is the prince of Zhonglian Group, and he has to consider the social impact. If the group intervenes, it will be even more difficult.

After all, as one of the economic lifelines of Alpha Star, Zhonglian Group also enjoys the privileges of certain large capitals while providing business support.

Shen Yaochuan preferred that Song Zhicheng should still be watching TV at home.

Xiang Shaoyang went home first and took a shower, washed away the smell of disinfectant all over his body, put on his own clothes again, and then cooked a meal.

I don't know how the hospital arranged it, but he and Shen Yaochuan didn't even arrange a sick meal during the extended 24-hour isolation period.

Very stingy.

He swallowed two pills to relieve the radiation symptoms with water, and his arms were still a little sore, but it didn't bother him.

Just a little lame.

The injury was quite deep at that time, and Shen Yaochuan was still ruthless when cleaning up.

Xiang Shaoyang suspected that he had something against him, so he took the opportunity to avenge himself publicly.

Although the hospital has already done debridement and suture for him, it is estimated that it will be difficult within two weeks.

He was a handsome man who could only walk with a limp.

Xiang Shaoyang fried some fish and made a simple soy sauce bibimbap.

When the aroma of the food came out, his over-hungry stomach let out a series of gurgles.

But he didn't move his chopsticks, just before he started to eat, he remembered that Shen Yaochuan hadn't eaten like himself.

The brain involuntarily played some pictures, Shen Yaochuan's beautiful collarbone, slender wrist, and his thinness wrapped in the obese patient's gown.

And he fell to the ground in pain.

It was as if something was gently scratching Xiang Shaoyang's heart.

He called the Deputy Chief of the Police Department of the Security Bureau.

Due to the different scope of work, the Investigation Bureau and the Security Bureau often cooperate in handling cases, and Xiang Shaoyang has a good relationship with them.

The other party answered very quickly: "What's the matter, Shaoyang, I heard that you were released, would you like to drink with me?"

"You know how to drink all day long," Xiang Shaoyang felt helpless, "Are you free to drink today?"

The other party let out a "ah" and said, "Why, I'm busy, and I'm not here to conduct the trial of your case."

"There is a person, Shen Yaochuan," Xiang Shaoyang said without any fuss, "He was quarantined with me just now, and he should be with you now."

"Yes, I just got here. I just found him a private room, and it's not his turn yet."

Xiang Shaoyang: "Do me a favor, he is not in good health, set a meal for him and find a coat."

"Oh," the other party sighed: "Aren't you going to be a widowed old man? What are you doing? You really care about people."

Xiang Shaoyang raised his eyebrows, and the words of denial turned around his mouth: "Then I also care about you."

"I don't have that kind of treatment, so what does it matter if people see him," said the other party, "I'll send you the location, and you order him a takeaway, and we can pass it in for him."

Xiang Shaoyang: "Thank you."

There is no privacy in the detention cell.

A row of iron fences separated each other into small squares, and there was only a wall without windows behind it.

The aisle was dimly lit, reading a book was difficult, and sleeping was dazzling.

Shen Yaochuan was taken to one of the rooms, there were no neighbors around, so it wouldn't be too noisy.

When he came in, he observed other private rooms, most of them were row after row, some were snoring loudly, some were nagging, it was very noisy.

Therefore, I decided that I should be given special care.

He looked at the bed carefully. The orange three-piece suit didn't look very dirty on the surface, but there were some suspicious crumbs and tiny particles on the fabric.

Shen Yaochuan hesitated for a moment, then found a relatively clean place at the corner of the bed and sat down.

He does not have the cleanliness that the public knows, but he is very disgusted with human contact.

Especially the sweat on the skin, the water that has been washed but not dried, and the dander and oil on the body.

Even his own desk, he doesn't like to be touched.

After just sitting for a short while, my stomach twisted.

Due to the effects of long-term medication, Shen Yaochuan's stomach has always been bad.

He looked at his wrist. Before the end of the detention interrogation period, the terminal only needs to be temporarily taken away for safekeeping.

Nothing to pass the time.

According to the law, there are 48 hours of detention and interrogation without conclusive evidence. During this period, in order to prevent the suspect from exchanging information with his accomplices, personal terminals and other items must be handed over.

A maximum of 48 hours must be released from the time of entry into the cell.

In other words, he may have to wait here for 48 hours before he can eat a meal.

For some reason, Shen Yaochuan remembered Xiang Shaoyang's sentence "If you need help, you can find me".

If only I could help deliver a meal, he thought.

The author has something to say:

Look, isn't the meal here?

By the way, fried fish meat is really delicious
