Camouflage Alpha

"Shen Yaochuan."

A policeman in a black uniform knocked on the iron railing and handed in a large plastic bag.

Shen Yaochuan was struggling with stomach pain, and was taken aback when she saw this.

"Go ahead," said the policeman without any impatience in his tone, "Someone gave it to you."

Next, Shen Yaochuan could already tell from the smell that wafted out earlier that this was for food.

He thought it would be sent by Song Zhicheng. The prince of Zhonglian was well informed and knew that it was normal for him to be interrogated and detained.

But opening the package turned out to be a lunch box.

Not the kind of packaging box on the market, but the kind of insulated lunch box for home use.

He took out three small lunch boxes, a bowl of fried rice, a bowl of soup, and a bowl of egg custard.

Since there are not many people who can cook and can do it well, restaurants on the market rarely have this kind of home-cooked cuisine, and they obviously cook it by themselves.

Even Shen Yaochuan didn't realize it, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a very soft smile.

Xiang Shaoyang drove away from the police station of the Security Bureau and went straight to the library.

On the way, he had already listened to Deni's briefing by voice, and it was confirmed that the Hela strain at the municipal building site in Area A came from the research institute.

"The interrogation by the Security Bureau has made new discoveries, and we are urgently writing the investigation code to search and compare the monitoring. It is estimated that Dr. Shen will come out without waiting for the interrogation," De Ni said on the phone, "If you are lucky, before the end of today We'll be able to catch whoever stole the strain from the institute."

In the small office of the library, several computers were desperately running data, when Xiang Shaoyang pushed the door and came in, a group of "conforming to the standard" just appeared on the screen.

It was a researcher with a very inconspicuous appearance. The enlarged text on the badge showed that his authority level was only level 1, which was the most common type of person.

The screen clips intercepted from unused surveillance formed a complete trajectory line. He entered the office of the director of the research institute near the end of working hours, from the office of the director to the office of the deputy director. The corridor came to the large conference room, and changed clothes when he came out of the large conference room-this whereabouts perfectly avoided all monitored occasions, and everything was obtained from other information such as blinds, door cracks, etc. in the wide-angle monitoring area. Checked out.

If the investigation is done manually, these subtle clues may be missed.

When he came out of the conference room, he was wearing a beige windbreaker and a light golden shoulder-length wig—this is Shen Yaochuan's characteristics.

Then this "Shen Yaochuan" swiped his card to enter the fourth-level laboratory. In the recorder of the laboratory, he took out the strain sample and performed some operations, but there was no obvious loading and unloading action in the monitoring.

He came out of the laboratory, closed the doors one by one, turned off the lights, and deliberately bypassed the monitoring as before, and went out with his original appearance.

In the next road monitoring, he took a cloud flying car.

Then there is no trace.

The cloud flying car is a special means of transportation with a limited number of rides. The running trajectory is guided by the calculated program. There are no obvious features such as license plate numbers, and the traces of use are not obvious.

If you find two flying cars at random, there is almost no difference in appearance.

Even the codes, they couldn't find the car they were looking for from the surveillance that couldn't tell the difference in appearance.

But it was enough. With the current evidence, it was enough for the Security Bureau to conduct criminal interrogation instead of detention of the researcher.

Detention and interrogation is generally used in the suspicion stage. There is no clear evidence, and only routine questioning or psychological guidance can be carried out. Detention can only be held for a maximum of 48 hours.

This is not the case for criminal interrogations. Criminal interrogations are indefinite, and you can apply for an on-site investigation permit based on existing evidence. Not only can you interrogate a person, but you can also search his office and personal belongings at home.

"Level 1 authority level cannot use level 4 laboratory. This person is not within the scope of the security bureau's detention and interrogation." Deni patted Xiang Shaoyang's shoulder, "You have been injected with blockers, so strenuous exercise is not suitable. I told the security bureau Go arrest people, you look after the house."

Xiang Shaoyang stared at her: "Who said I can't exercise vigorously?"

Deni shook the terminal at him triumphantly: "Dr. Shen said, I will take the credit this time."

After that, she quickly ordered a few people to stand by, and then called the Security Bureau.

District D of Miyada City, the lower level of residents.

"I always feel that there is something in the house..."

A middle-aged man was standing in the corridor, talking with several other people.

They are all residents on the first floor, and the lighting in the lower floor area is the worst, and it is almost completely dark outside the window, so the house price is also the cheapest.

Many low-level workers like them in Miyada City will choose to buy a low-level house to live in. For them, they are not at home during the day and just sleep at night. The lighting and the scenery outside the window are not important.

"Yes, there is a smell of rotten meat. Is the fresh air system broken?"

Since noon today, they have faintly smelled a stench.

The smell was very pungent and choking, and the neighbors went out to find the source of the smell. They discussed and sniffed, and finally stopped at the door of the fifth house.

They are quite familiar with this family. The residents on the first floor of this building are almost all poor families who work hard to make a living. Only the fifth household is a serious and talented student. It is said that he works in a research institute and is just the mother of the family. I got a serious illness, and the medicines for the treatment were imported from other planets, costing 1 yuan a piece, and I had to have permission, so I kept saving money and sending money to my family.

He is not only frugal, but also very enthusiastic. He tutors the homework of the children in several houses on the first floor. He does not go home during the holidays, and the neighbors will always bring him meals to eat, which is also a thank you.

The neighbors were choked by the smell and wanted to smash the door angrily, but when they thought of this enthusiastic researcher, they let down their clenched fists again.

Maybe something broke in his house and he didn't find it, so let's wait a little longer.

The neighbors dispersed one after another, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps - the leader was a black-haired girl in a bulletproof vest with a ponytail, full of heroism, followed by several people also wearing bulletproof vests.

And they all wear a mask with a filter element on their head.

The security bureau is usually responsible for catching people, so Deni followed Clementine.

Clementine is also a female Alpha, her level is lower than Deni's, she is A-level.

But perhaps because of her tutoring since she was a child, Clementine is stronger than Deni in terms of momentum, as if she is the strongest S-class Alpha who leads everyone.

Clementine knocks on the researcher's door.

Several other team members evacuated the neighbors tacitly and drove them back to their homes.

As they rushed into the corridor, they smelled the putrid smell - which meant that there might be victims.

Seeing that no one answered the door at the researcher's house, Clementine, who had not yet unlocked the lock on the cloud and submitted all the evidence, didn't wait any longer, opened the door violently, and shot through the electronic lock.

Then he kicked the door open, and the muzzle of the gun was immediately aimed at the room.

The houses in the lower area are generally small in size, square in shape, and the living room is the living room when the door is opened.

A man in a shirt sat on the ground with his back to the door, motionless.

"Chu Huai, a first-level researcher at the Supreme Institute of Life Sciences, raise your hand and put it where we can see it!" Clementine walked over cautiously, keeping his gun pointed at him.

Chu Huai did not respond.

Clementine walked around in front of him cautiously, a look of relief suddenly appeared on her face.

Deni followed.

The rancid smell was not from the victim they imagined, but from a dog in Chu's arms.

The dog had begun to rot and stink of corpses.

Chu Huai's expression was dull, he raised his head as if in slow motion, and looked at Clementine, his eyes were red.

"I didn't mean to," he said, hoarsely, "I didn't mean to—"

"Isolate and disinfect according to the standards of biochemical infectious agents." De Ni pointed at the dog in Chu Huai's arms with her muzzle. "Look at him, I'm going to give him an infection test."

Everyone put on gloves.

When they dragged the dog away from Chu's arms, the man let out a cry.

He tried to snatch the dog back, but his hands were immediately handcuffed.

Chu Huai cried very sadly, as if a young child was separated from his parents for the first time.

Deni used a blood test, not only for Chu Huai, but also for the dog, and soon both test strips turned blue.

"Safe," she said, "bring it back."

In the library, Xiang Shaoyang's gaze was attracted by a bunch of flowers.

It was a large bouquet of white-toned roses, wrapped in laser wrapping paper, with rose cores showing faint intertwined colors.

It is a rare color, and it is very expensive if it is not dyed.

It was quietly placed on a small tea table, not very conspicuous in a place like a library, like some decoration placed in the library.

Xiang Shaoyang flipped through it, and took out a small handwritten greeting card from the ribbon next to the bouquet.

There was only one line of signature on the greeting card: Song Zhicheng.

Xiang Shaoyang read it quietly in his heart.

"Boss, that flower is for Dr. Shen. You sent it when you were still in quarantine, so we put it on that table. Dr. Shen was sitting there drinking milk tea before." Someone said behind him.

"Dating is not allowed in the office of the Bureau of Investigation," Xiang Shaoyang waved the flower in his hand, "If you send this kind of thing in the future, you will return it on the spot, and you are not allowed to accept it."

"But Dr. Shen's..."

"Nobody else!" Xiang Shaoyang emphasized very forcefully.

Then he threw the flower straight into the trash can.

Everyone whispered behind him: "When did we add a rule that no dating is allowed in the office?"
