Chapter 33 Case 3: Typhoon Island

Familiar canteen round tables, familiar dishes, familiar bowls and chopsticks, familiar colleagues, and rarely, no one touches chopsticks.

The chandelier above the head was blindingly bright, and everyone lowered their heads, exchanging at most one or two serious glances, and quickly turned their gazes back to their plates.

"Let me ask for the last time, are there any traitors?" The person sitting in the chief seat asked, with a serious expression, but his tone was a little out of breath.

No one answered, and everyone let their eyes wander in all directions, hiding their apprehension and fear in their godless pupils.

"Then I'll call for someone to come. We'll be good brothers if we get through this hurdle." The person in charge knew.

At this time, everyone looked up at him together, with different expressions, as if the "Last Supper" would be vividly restored in the next second, but unfortunately no one expressed their opinions at the end.

You didn't kill it, what did you do?

·

Once the Spring Festival is over, the entire island city recovers quickly, the empty streets are filled with cars of all kinds again, and the closed shops are also scrambling to open quickly, and they begin to pray for a higher performance in the new year.

Compared with the Spring Festival, the island city of Lantern Festival is much more lively, and many restaurants will give away a small portion of glutinous rice balls for free, adding a human touch to this thriving future commercial metropolis.

I don't know if Yan is also pursuing his own "human touch". Since the case was closed in Xiaonian and the Lantern Festival has passed, they have not made any movement.

However, they didn't move, and the special case team still had an infinite number of unfinished clues to investigate, such as underground plastic surgery hospitals, intricate records of funds in and out, and so on.

Not only do I have to work on my own, but I am often called back to work by other departments. The banquet stopped briefly, but there are still many justices in Daocheng that need to be upheld by the Public Security Bureau.The unexpected situation was uncontrollable, and everyone was transferred away in turn. They only came back during meal time and enjoyed the luxury takeaway specially provided by the task force on time.

It's rare that everyone is free today. During lunch break, Ding Chenyu made black tea. Wan Yi asked everyone if they want to have an exciting game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and got a collective response.

Cheng Mo was pressed by Lu Yuanzhe to join the game, Su Xiaozhi was watching the excitement, Ding Chenyu, Ling Xi and Wan Yi took Cheng Mo, a novice, to play high-end games to experience the life that contemporary young people should have.

In order to give him some time to adapt, they drove all the way in the wild, and they didn't meet the enemy until the finals.

Novices playing high-end games are like sending warm couriers, sending heads wherever they go.Although Cheng Mo was a real sharpshooter, he didn't have this ability in the game at all. It was only a little better than falling into a box, and died after the snake skin moved.

"It's okay, it's like this at the beginning." Lu Yuanzhe comforted with a suppressed smile as he lay on the back of his chair.

Just as the round was over, Lu Yuanzhe's monitor automatically lit up, and the anti-theft surveillance outside the door captured someone.He glanced at it, cleared the snacks on his desk with lightning speed, and cleared his throat.

Everyone sat down immediately, this time even Cheng Mo understood, quickly turned off the game, and straightened their postures.Others are one step ahead, and have already started to sort out various files like the host after the news broadcast ends.

Lu Yuanzhe quickly opened the door of the special case team one second after Tang Wen knocked on the door, and extended his sincere greetings: "Hello, Bureau Tang!"

"You have clairvoyance, don't you?" Tang Wen hasn't noticed the camera in the corridor so far. He looked up and saw his smiling face like a welcoming brother, and touched the goosebumps on his body. .”

"It should be, it should be, usually no one will visit the task force once a month." Lu Yuanzhe complained insinutively with a smile on his face.

"Didn't I come to arrange tasks for you?" Tang Wen glanced at him.

"Is there a case?" Lu Yuanzhe asked in surprise.Recently, I heard that there was indeed a case, but Sun Yan has already solved the case, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the special case team.

"Yes, but it's not for a banquet." Tang Wen rarely walked into the task force and closed the door, "Do you know Crescent Moon Island? The island farthest from the island city has a research institute on it. A researcher died suddenly last night." They don't want to file a case casually, so they want to ask our criminal investigation team to send a tight-lipped person to take a look, and I plan to send you."

"Huh?" Lu Yuanzhe frowned suspiciously, "How did you die suddenly?"

"They said there was no trauma, they stayed up late and worked overtime, and they woke up like that the next day." Tang Wen replied.

"Then it's enough to call the police normally? Why do you need to send someone to check first?" Lu Yuanzhe asked puzzled.If the suspicion of homicide is basically ruled out at the scene, and the family members agree to close the case and refuse to conduct an autopsy, then it should be a normal procedure.

"Only the management of the research institute knows about this matter. If the police go there with great fanfare, they will immediately know all the way up to the shareholders and down to the cleaning staff. They hope to have a general understanding of the whole situation before this matter is made public, lest anyone Take the opportunity to make trouble." Tang Wen explained, "This is a project supported by the government, and a murder case is very sensitive."

"Then I should let the forensic doctor do it. I don't know how to do an autopsy." Lu Yuanzhe shrugged.

"I thought so too, but they asked you to go by name." Tang Wen replied, staring at him dissatisfied, "What are you doing with so many questions, and you just started to be lazy when you got some work at hand?"

"Don't dare." Lu Yuanzhe waved his hand quickly, he was willing to go, but his medical knowledge was really limited, "Then I will take Lingxi to see it?"

"They said they have notified the family members, and the family members do not agree to the autopsy unless there are doubts." Tang Wen said, and glanced at Ling Xi. I don't know.

"The typhoon started blowing in the evening, maybe the boat can't get through." Cheng Mo checked the weather forecast again and reminded.

"Then I suddenly remembered that I was seasick, so let's forget it." Ling Xi refused decisively, "I've been told, just send someone there, Team Lu, go by yourself."

"The more I listened, the more something went wrong." Lu Yuanzhe took two steps back and began to take stock of the information he had obtained, "There was a typhoon, he was named on the island, and the murder case, it sounds like a Hongmen banquet."

"He's a biochemical research institute, what kind of banquet is he having with you?" Tang Wen rolled his eyes at him, "Then there are people from the military on the island, who are stationed on the other side. You can ask for help even if you walk, who can murder you?" ?”

"Then you listen to this posture, doesn't it look like there is a pit waiting for me to jump?" Lu Yuanzhe hugged himself, and then leaned into Tang Wen's ear, "I'm doing this for the face of the bureau, in case someone gets caught It's inappropriate to take the scapegoat."

"I'll go with Team Lu." Cheng Mo looked at Tang Wen and suggested, "This project was facilitated by my father. If there is anything to do, if I go, it will be easier for them to explain to us."

Lu Yuanzhe's refusal came to his lips, and he swallowed it again.Although Cheng Mo seemed to be very honest recently, and he was serious about fulfilling the agreement between them, but when he encountered any situation, he was still afraid that Cheng Mo would suddenly be impulsive.But he didn't want to categorically refuse, making Cheng Mo feel that he didn't believe in him and thus lost the enthusiasm to fulfill the agreement, so he held back and looked at Tang Ju.

He felt that Tang Wen had always regarded Cheng Mo as the mascot of the task force, so he would not agree.

Unexpectedly, Tang Wen nodded immediately: "That's it." Then he opened the door with his hands behind his back, took a step back and left the task force, all in one go, without giving him a chance to speak.

He only heard a slam in front of him, and the door closed. He was stunned for a few seconds before opening the door, and Tang Wen's shadow was nowhere to be seen.

"It's over, I'm going to take the blame." He closed the door, sighed and walked back to his seat, "The other party must have insisted on staying up all night to die suddenly and didn't want to have an autopsy. It became an idea to send someone to take a look first, so that the police could suppress the family members to investigate."

He didn't believe that the family members had been dealt with, and the research institute asked him to see what was going on.

"Just go, I still want to go." Su Xiaozhi rested her chin, looked enviously at the two who had jobs, and finally stared at Lu Yuanzhe and complained, "Why didn't you take me there?"

If Lu Yuanzhe named her at that time, she would definitely agree with it.

"It's not for you." Lu Yuanzhe shrugged, "At the beginning, Bureau Tang wanted me to bring Cheng Mo. He was present, so I forgive them for not daring to blame our Public Security Bureau."

"It doesn't have to be a fire pit, what if it really is a sudden death?" Ling Xi answered casually.

Lu Yuanzhe glanced at him sideways: "Then it's my turn to go and see? I don't know the director, isn't it strange that he named me?"

"It's not surprising." Ding Chenyu interjected, "The relationship between the special case team and the outside world is so bad, so they won't talk about it. You see, Bureau Tang came in and closed the door."

"..." Unable to refute, Lu Yuanzhe fell silent for a moment, fell back on the sofa, glanced at Cheng Mo's back, "Then pack up, let's go."

It's good to bring Cheng Mo with him, lest he go on a business trip and Cheng Mo will use his brain here again.

"It's packed." Cheng Mo stood up, just as the computer started to shut down, and it was obvious that he was ready to get up.

"Yes." He reluctantly gave Cheng Mo a thumbs-up. Cheng Mo did it on purpose, so he wasn't a fool.

·

The typhoon that can be predicted by the news is indeed not a trivial matter. Although it has not officially arrived yet, Lu Yuanzhe has already felt the temperature drop while driving on the road.The island city, which had already started spring, quickly returned to winter, and the sea breeze was as harsh as a blade blowing.

Through the phone call given to him by Bureau Tang, he got in touch with Director Jiang of the research institute, and the other party was really enthusiastic. He mentioned that the special case team had solved two major cases in a row in the past two months, and had several rounds of courtesy with him.Not only spoke enthusiastically, but also sent a boat to pick them up.

The boat will not pass from tonight to tomorrow night, at least two nights, Lu Yuanzhe and Cheng Mo went back to pack up the change of clothes.Lu Yuanzhe also spent some time packing, and Cheng Mo was almost an assembly line operation, and quickly packed out a suitcase that was similar to when he came.

"How about we go shopping after we get back?" Lu Yuanzhe saw Cheng Mo riding on the suitcase and sliding boredly, and made a suggestion, "You don't plan to move out in a short time, buy something."

"It will be added automatically soon." Cheng Mo smiled, and he seemed a little happy and a little helpless when he talked about it.

"Why?" Lu Yuanzhe was taken aback.

"I told my brother your home address." Cheng Mo replied, "He likes to over-shopping, so he might send some things."

"How did I hear that your brother is serious?" Lu Yuanzhe recalled with a frown, not quite convinced that there could be a shopaholic in the Cheng family.

"It doesn't affect his liking for shopping." Cheng Mo disagreed.

Going out was smooth, the rain hadn't come so fast, and it only took an hour or two to get to Crescent Island, which was far from the time when boats were banned.

The two of them boarded the boat that the research institute had arranged for them. It was smaller than expected and could only be regarded as a small boat. It seemed that no one else was going to the research institute today.

The pilot of the small boat was of the same age as them. Although he was tanned, he looked very cheerful.After chatting with him for a few words, Lu Yuanzhe felt that he was really cheated.

"It's really not the right time for you to go to the island." He commented sincerely, "I didn't say it, maybe it was a typhoon for a two-day tour."

The typhoon is going violently. The weather forecast just updated this afternoon shows that not only the island is stormy, but the island city itself may face power outages, water shortages, and even waterlogging. The typhoon holiday will take two days.

"I'm squatting in the research institute anyway." Lu Yuanzhe smiled wryly in his heart, but on the surface he still had a fearless expression on his face.

"The power and water will be cut off at that time, and the cold weather will be unbearable." Seeing that the weather is about to change, the driver shook his head in disgust, "Be careful to keep warm."

"No way, they have been doing research here for three to five years, haven't they built a set of safe power supply equipment yet?" Lu Yuanzhe was a little surprised.

"Of course the research is the priority, and the accommodation is on the sidelines." The driver smiled, "The laboratory can be taken care of at the critical moment, and the dormitory building will stop when it stops."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Lu Yuanzhe curiously: "Brother, what research are you doing, go at this time?"

"Uh..." Lu Yuanzhe really didn't think about it. He is a liberal arts student who has just graduated. He doesn't know what a biochemical laboratory can do, and he relies on making up.

He glanced at Cheng Mo, expressing that he was going to talk nonsense, but Cheng Mo got it wrong and took it as a call for help.

"Breeding and meat quality inspection of different shallow sea food fish." "Research on ecological compensation of migratory fish." They both spoke at the same time, and then stared at each other in horror.

"There are still people who come here to inspect the meat quality? How to inspect it? Have you eaten it?" The driver was also stunned and looked at Lu Yuanzhe.

"A lot of aquatic products were eaten after the research and observation." Lu Yuanzhe answered bravely, "Isn't it good?"

This is true, but the driver is really hearing it for the first time.

"Director Jiang used to be in chemistry, but now I don't know how he started the research on marine animals and plants. He seems to have cooperated with the design of a batch of underwater exploration tools. He is really an all-rounder." Changed the topic elsewhere, "We are here to cooperate with one of their comprehensive projects this time."

"They have indeed had enough funds for the past two years. There is a big project recently, and many people come and go." The driver echoed, thinking about it and a little confused, "But the typhoon will blow soon, and many people will be on vacation. time to go?"

"Let's get acquainted with the environment first, and submit some materials." Cheng Mo smiled calmly.

It's really a Hongmen banquet, and it doesn't sound very auspicious.Lu Yuanzhe muttered in his heart, and said casually: "I hope it will go smoothly, and the roof will not be swept away when the typhoon comes."

"Then don't worry, there is an army on the top, and the rescue is very good." The driver smiled.

Although it is only a small team stationed here to do some underwater tests of equipment, but at least they are serious soldiers, stationed for a long time, well-equipped and well-trained, so everyone is very relieved.

When I saw the harbor of Crescent Island, I already had the feeling of a typhoon. The research institute occupies a corner of the bay, and the military occupies a corner of the bay. The whole island still looks very empty and full of green plants.Seeing the abundance of vegetation, Lu Yuanzhe was a little more relieved, at least there was no danger of being blown naked at any time.

The weather was so bad that even the pilot didn't dare to return to the voyage rashly. While sending them to the shore, he also had a phone call with the master before he dared to go back.

"Bon voyage, see you next time." Lu Yuanzhe waved to him, turned around and saw two people walking in the distance, and immediately put on a polite smile on his face.

Although it was a murder case, it made him guess that a polite entertainment was inevitable today.
