Chapter 279: Deep Feelings

The entrance to the underground basement of the orphanage is right at the entrance to the underground parking lot in the backyard. When the other party evacuated, they deliberately built a wall to block this place.
"It looks like they left in a hurry. The quality of this wall is really average."
Cao Bin patted the dirt off his body and looked behind Chi Xia and the others: "Oh my god, it's so big in there, what's in there?"
"There is something you are afraid of." Lin Wenjue stopped him and said, "You'd better not go in and see it."
"What's so scary about the people's police? I'm not even afraid of corpses." Cao Bin curled his lips, not believing it at all.
"Really, I'm doing this for your own good," said Lin Wenjue.
"You are challenging the curiosity of a people's policeman." Cao Bin still didn't believe it.
Luo Xun said, "Lao Lin, let him go. Children always have to encounter setbacks before they know the warmth of home."
Lin Wenjue sighed and loosened his arms.
Cao Bin went in happily with the light on. Besides him, some colleagues from the police station who came in later also followed him curiously.
Not long after, bursts of terrified screams were heard from the empty and quiet negative level.
The screaming entity kept getting closer to where Luo Xun and the others were. Several people turned around and shone their flashlights in that direction.
In this way, Chi Xia was standing closest to the other person.
Cao Bin was speeding along, screaming and opening his arms, trying to find a warm harbor, no matter who he was.
Chi Xia was even ready to rescue him, but he was like a rooster that suddenly braked while running, and turned abruptly at a distance of one toe from Chi Xia and pounced on Lin Wenjue.
"Why didn't you stop me? Why?" Cao Bin burst into tears: "Why!"
"I stopped him. Do you think I stopped him?"
Lin Wenjue's shoulders shook with laughter, and he patted him in a funny and speechless manner: "Can you loosen the dog legs that are wrapped around my waist?"
Zhao Suo and Wei Guoliang looked at Cao Bin in disbelief. It was hard to imagine how those discarded specimens could scare a grown man like this.
Cao Bin then realized his own posture and jumped off Lin Wenjue while Luo Xun looked hurt.
He scratched his head and ears awkwardly: "Well... everyone will have some lingering shadows in their lives... everyone can understand, right?"
Zhao smiled awkwardly to show his understanding: "Captain Luo, are we ready to withdraw now?"
"We can temporarily withdraw our troops after checking this place once more." Luo Xun said as he kicked Cao Bin: "Hurry up and get to work."
Cao Bin jumped outside : "I'll take care of the outside!"
"I'll go out and take a look too." Chi Xia said and walked out with him.
Before she could eat the pear Cao Bin gave her, Chi Xia broke it in half and handed him one half: "Brother Cao, why on earth could those things scare you like that?"
"The shadow of childhood..."
Cao Bin bit the pear viciously. "To be honest, it's all Ning Yi's fault . He has been interested in this kind of thing since he was a child. At that time, we both lived in the village. There was an old retired forensic doctor in the village. Ning Yi always tricked me into thinking there was some secret in his family. I was curious since I was a child, so I followed him..."
Cao Bin's hair still stands up when he thinks about it now. He grits his teeth and says, "I went with him! And then I accidentally locked myself in one of the rooms, the... specimen room..."
"Why does he still do these things now that he's retired? Why? He's using them as food!"
Chi Xia thought about the situation at that time and couldn't help laughing: "Then how long did you lock it?"
"One night! The whole night! It was pitch dark! The lights in that place were all broken! That brat Ning Yi went home, had a meal, and completely forgot about me. Do you know how I spent that night?"
Chi Xia followed suit: "How did you get through?"
"I cried!"
Cao Bin shuddered: "My grandmother was so scared that she went around the neighborhood looking for someone to call my soul back. Anyway, from then on, I had a natural fear of things soaked in formalin..."
"I remember there seems to be something like this in the forensic room?" Chi Xia asked.
"As for Ning Yi, I can still get along with them in an unfriendly manner for a while. As long as I don't stay for too long, I can still endure it."
As soon as Cao Bin finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he pointed at something far away and danced with joy: "Juan'er! Chi Xia, look, that's our Juan'er, right?"
After receiving the news, Curly made the handover and then rushed back and forth in a hurry.
At this moment, seeing Cao Bin's monkey-like figure, tears welled up in his eyes. He stumbled around the potholes on the ground and ran over, shouting as he ran: "It feels like a long time since I last saw you! It feels like a long time since I last saw you!"
Chi Xia silently stepped back, leaving space for them to hug.
A bear hug made them look like they were inseparable.
In just a moment, Luo Xun, Zhao Suo and others also came out.
Seeing the two bears hugging each other, Lin Wenjue walked up to them and ruthlessly separated them: "You two just haven't seen each other for two days, it's not like you met on the Magpie Bridge."
Zhao Jianguo said with a smile: "The comrades in the Municipal Bureau really have a deep relationship..."
Luo Xun smiled at him and waved to Curly Hair.
Curly ran over immediately and very considerately greeted Zhao Jianguo first.
Zhao Jianguo liked him even more when he looked at his curly hair.
"His name is Yu Lei, one of the members of our task force. We usually call him Curly. He is very talented in collecting and organizing information. Chief Zhao, let Xiao Wei follow him while we are in Yu Ji."
Zhao Jianguo looked at Luo Xun in a daze, then soon a look of joy appeared in his eyes. He immediately pulled Xiao Wei and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank Captain Luo!"
Xiao Wei was a little absent-minded at the moment and didn't understand what was meant. When his master pulled him, he almost stumbled and fell on Curly-haired boy.
Curly-haired man quickly helped him up, saying with a smile, "No, no, young man, you really can't do that."
"Look at you, you're so silly!"
Zhao Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he patted his apprentice: "Follow Officer Yu and learn well! You must seize the opportunity given to you, kid. Do you hear me?"
Wei Guoliang nodded repeatedly: "I know, Master, I will definitely study hard! I will learn a lot!"
Curly was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Not really, not really..."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back first." Luo Xun looked at the sky: "Let's all help with the finishing work."
Just when the group had packed up and got in the car, Chi Xia received a call from Mr. Qiu.
"The results of the test you asked me to do are out."
Mr. Qiu said unhappily on the other end, "Where are you now? How is your health? If I don't look for you, you will think I'm dead, right? You don't need to call me to say hello, right? You will only remember me when you need me, right?"
Chi Xia laughed a few times perfunctorily, and Old Qiu snorted and got back to business: "I don't know what the test results are over there, but here, I found snake venom in it. Of course, there is also the nerve-suppressing component you mentioned. It should be the same thing you gave me two days ago."
"Snake venom?" Chi Xia frowned: "Then it shouldn't be impossible to detect it..."
"It is said that every profession has its specialties."
Elder Qiu laughed at her, "I just told you in general that it was snake venom. There are so many chemical and physical components that interact with each other to achieve the effect you see. I haven't figured out the more detailed component tests yet, but for you, this result is enough."
Chi Xia asked: "What if this thing is mass-produced?"
"Then you don't have to worry too much."
Mr. Qiu said, "The snake venom it uses is not that easy to obtain. There is no way to mass produce it. But this thing is always a disaster. It will be bad if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives."
Chi Xia exhaled: "Okay."
"Is that all?" Mr. Qiu was unhappy: "I am going to be abandoned again, right?"
"No." Chi Xia tried to please him: "I will go and catch the person who is responsible and get rid of the harm for the people."
"You just don't talk properly every day."
Elder Qiu cursed: "Take care of yourself and take the medicine you need to take. I'm dying!"
