Abyss

There were still two people who came to greet Linqian, but they were not the two last time. This time they were replaced by two young people, who seemed to have just graduated or not yet graduated.Lin Qian had to lament that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Although the two young people could see a little nervousness, and their meticulous expressions betrayed them, there was nothing wrong with the process or their neither humble nor overbearing attitude.Mainly from the appearance point of view, the two little policemen are similar in height and figure, and they look much better than the previous "tall, short, fat and thin" combination.

Lin Qian smiled and greeted the two little policemen, but the two of them didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, and they always had a serious face.This reminded Linqian of Yang Cuolai. Could this expression be mass-produced by the police academy?

Not surprisingly, the room in this video was not changed, it was still the same interrogation room, but the sixth sense told Linqian that there should not be as many people hiding behind the glass watching him this time as last time.Sit down on the chair in front of the ground and wait for the video to start.One of the little policemen poured him a glass of water, Lin Qian said thank you with a smile and looked into his eyes gently, the little policeman actually avoided his gaze with some embarrassment.

About ten minutes later the video started, and Linqian had already planned the questions he wanted to ask in his heart, and prepared to ask them one by one as clearly as possible.Lin Qiubai appeared on the computer screen, and his face seemed not as good as last time.But this time it seems that preparations have been made in advance. It is no longer the classic three-to-seven point last time, but a simple and modern hairstyle, but Linqian feels that it is not as good-looking as before.

Looking at Lin Qiu's haggard face, Lin Qian couldn't say a word of greeting stuck in his throat for a long time.That kind of feeling is very strange. A father who has only seen once for more than 20 years brings him an unreal sense of alienation, making him feel that caring seems superfluous, and not caring seems indifferent.

Lin Qian felt that maybe he was more concerned about why he lost so much weight, was it cancer, or?

Lin Qian was suddenly worried.

Lin Qiubai didn't think so much, the connection speed of his side seems to be slower than Linqian's side, when Linqian saw his face, he didn't seem to see Linqian; The old and slightly cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, probably seeing the dive on the screen.Lin Qiubai didn't hesitate too much, he even leaned forward slightly at that moment.

Lin Qiubai said, "How are you doing recently? Are you in good health? Is there... any discomfort?"

Hearing Lin Qiubai's words, Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.No matter how you hear this, it's a bit strange, as if wishing him to be sick.But Lin Qian felt strange after laughing.In the many years of correspondence before, Lin Qiubai would not speak like this, he would express the same meaning as "Your complexion is not good recently, pay attention to your body."

Lin Qian felt that if this person was the same as the one he communicated with at the beginning, then there should be something wrong with his mental state.But this is even more unbelievable. For a scientist in his 50s, what would cause him to have a nervous breakdown?

Lin Qian smiled and said, "Very good, don't worry."

Then there was a brief silence.

Linqian first said, "Dad, haven't you had a good rest recently? You've lost a lot of weight."

Lin Qiubai said with a blank expression, "Fortunately, the season is not good."

"Is it hot?"

"It's very humid. It's also very windy."

The signal faltered obviously.When the signal was restored, Lin Qiubai's eyes obviously moved from up to down. Lin Qian knew that those people should have cut off the signal because they were worried about exposing their position and warned Lin Qiubai.Thinking about it this way, it is normal for Lin Qiubai to have some mental problems. After all, being constantly monitored 24 hours a day is also a kind of chronic mental damage.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qian asked pretending not to know.

Lin Qiubai was a little nervous, "No, no."

Lin Qian still smiled, "Okay." He said, "I watched "Cthulhu Mythos" again during this time."

Signal freezes.But Linqian didn't know that there was something wrong with this sentence and they needed to cut off the signal to check.

"Which chapter did you read?"

"Cthulhu's chapter."

The signal froze again.At this moment, Linqian already vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of the reason for a while.

"That chapter is very good and worth thinking about." Lin Qiu put on a straight face, and his words suddenly returned to the seriousness and simplicity of the correspondence.

It's just that the signal suddenly freezes very badly. It doesn't look like it's being blocked, but there will be a slight drag in the middle of the sentence.Lin Qian suddenly realized that this might not be an artificial interception, but a problem with the real communication signal.

"Is there really a huge creature like Cthulhu under the sea?"

"No, it doesn't matter if there is."

"Is there a god in that?"

Just as Lin Qiubai was about to answer, the signal was cut off suddenly, and the screen became mottled and distorted due to the blocked signal.Noisy and disorderly voices came from that side, as if order was being maintained in a panic; Lin Qiubai's mouth could be vaguely opened on the screen, which was a "yes" pronunciation.

have what?Are there gods under the sea?

Lin Qian couldn't believe it.Maybe it's because he made a mistake in deducing the shape of his lips, maybe Lin Qiubai didn't hear what he said at all.

After evading for a short time, Linqian raised his hand to the mirror in front of him.He knew that there must be someone behind the mirror, and there was no need to deliberately pretend not to know.

As soon as he put his hand down, the door behind him opened, and one of the two young policemen who had just brought him in walked in.The complexion of this young policeman is very dark. I don't know if it is the result of hard training.At this time his complexion was not very good, and Linqian couldn't tell what color it was, it was very strange anyway.

"The signal is broken." Lin Qian still smiled.In fact, his letter was also in chaos at this time, but his performance was much calmer than this little policeman's, at least he would not be seen by others.

The little policeman tried his best to calmly stare at Lin Qian's eyes, trying not to let him see the flaws, "Professor Lin's base station is damaged, and the call cannot be restored for the time being."

Lin Qian knew that only such a young policeman should be relatively easy to deal with. "Damaged? Meteorological disaster or magnetic storm? What kind of meteorological disaster?"

He was just confusing the public. He knew that only short-wave communications would be affected by the magnetic storm, and based on modern technology, the impact would not be too great.

"……typhoon."

The little policeman didn't quite understand what he said, but it is easier for people to tell the truth of things when they are unclear about things and lack a sense of security.

Before he could finish his sentence, the door was pushed open with a gust of wind.Lin Qian naturally turned his head to look, and it was Yang Cuo who came in again.

Linqian finds Yang Cuo, who is so vigorous and resolute and has a suspicious identity, more and more interesting.

"You go out first." Yang Cuo said to the little policeman, his tone was very calm, but Linqian could see the anxiety in his eyes.

Lin Qian called the little policeman, "Little comrade, wait a moment."

The young policeman stopped and subconsciously turned his head, then took a cautious look at Yang Cuo.Yang Cuo's gaze avoided, tacitly allowing him to stop and listen to Lin Qian's words.

"I'm sorry." Lin Qian smiled as sincerely as possible.

This sentence of apology was not only said to the little policeman, but also said to Yang by mistake.That means, I set him up on purpose, so don't embarrass him.Yang Cuo is a smart man, so he must understand.Lin Qian didn't know why he believed in his character so much, and thought that since he could understand, he would definitely not embarrass the little policeman.

Yang Cuo waved his hand to let the little policeman go out, took out a box of Nanjing from his trousers pocket with his left hand, pushed open the lid of the box with his thumb skillfully, pushed out another one, and handed it to Linqian, "Sorry, the signal tower was blown off by the strong wind." It’s gone.” His eyes only looked at the smoke, at the lighter, and at the flame on the lighter, but he didn’t look at Lin Qian’s eyes.This is a smart man, since the other party has already begun to doubt, there is no need to make any eye contact.

Linqian stood up and took the cigarette, smiled, "Where is it, but this typhoon is too fierce."

"Just normal winds, it's time for the summer monsoon to pass."

"Hmm." Lin Qian didn't refute, meaningless.

The two were smoking in the room, and soon the smoke rose, like a ghost's hand, touching the fire alarm on the ceiling, and a fine stream of water suddenly fell from the sky.From the angle of the dive, he could find the water flow faster, so he could react faster. He subconsciously pushed Yang Cuo away.When Yang Cuo stood still outside the spraying range, Linqian had already wet his whole body.

Even though it's summer, it's not very elegant to go out in such a wet body.Yang mistakenly took Linqian to change a set of his own clothes to apologize.In fact, Yang Cuo didn't get soaked much, but when he saw a piece of ink on the cuff of his international blue shirt, he frowned first, then tried to roll up his sleeve to cover it, and finally couldn't help but join Lin Qian. I changed my shirt.

When he took off his shirt, Linqian couldn't help taking a look. This Yang Cuo couldn't be seen in his clothes, he just felt taller, but he didn't want to hide his strong muscles. With his bronze skin, he had an oriental appearance. The beauty of unique power.

"I'm sorry, I made you drown."

"It's fine if it's not a Reservoir Dog." Lin Qian said with a smile.

A trace of guilt appeared on Yang Cuo's indifferent face.

"Report to Vice Captain Yang!" A young policeman ran in suddenly, but it wasn't the one who said the wrong thing just now.

Yang Cuo simply said, "Say."

"Unidentified powder was found in Mr. Lin's pocket!"

White powder?Certainly not laundry detergent.Not even laundry detergent anymore.

Yang mistakenly took the sealed bag from the young policeman's hand, which indeed contained some delicate white powdery objects.He checked it routinely, and then looked at Linqian, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I can only wrong you to stay here for the time being."

Linqian knew in his heart that he just wanted to find a reason because he didn't want him to go, but only now did he understand that Yang Cuo was the one who controlled the whole situation.He thought it would be a wily old man before, but he didn't expect it to be him.

Lin Qian smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just a little hungry, can you help me prepare something to eat?"

He knew that he couldn't leave, so it was better to be at ease when he came.Yang Cuo seemed to have seen through that he would be so calm a long time ago, so he just glanced at Lin Qian casually, and said to the young policeman, "Prepare him a meal."

The young policeman was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "I know the deputy captain." After looking at Linqian, he asked, "Do you need to bring Mr. Lin..."

"No. Take him to the lounge, where there is a table, make it more comfortable."

Lin Qian smiled and said, "Thank you Officer Yang for taking special care."

Sure enough, he wasn't decisive enough.Lin Qian thought to himself.
