Chapter 289 Luo Xun's Worries
After Qiao Life left, Chi Xia and Luo Xun went straight to look for Zhao Suo.
Chief Zhao told them the clues he got in Yubin.
After listening to what Zhao Suo said, the two thought for a while.
After a long while, Luo Xun spoke first: "That is to say, after the economic investigation, the police found that the Xiangbin Group was divided into several parts, and Tu Guoan's smuggling of guns and trafficking of drugs was just one of them?"
"Don't underestimate this one."
Zhao shook his head with a complicated expression: "This one line alone has caused great damage to the Xiangbin Group, which has been prosperous for many years. It's just that someone has tried their best to minimize the losses of the Xiangbin Group and retain a chance for revival."
"Who could it be?"
Chi Xia already had the answer when she said this. She and Luo Xun said the name at the same time.
"Chu Hongli."
Zhao Suoxian thought about it and nodded quickly: "That's it. The comrades in the province also showed me some clues. Those uncontaminated projects were basically handled by Chu Hongli, but... where is Chu Hongli now?"
"His disappearance occurred at the same time as Tu Guoan's murder. Either he sensed danger and disappeared on his own initiative, or..."
Chi Xia glanced at Luo Xun: "Or he was captured by someone."
"But what's the point of arresting him?"
Zhao said: "These situations will emerge with the investigation. It will have no effect whether he is arrested or not, unless... unless..."
"Unless he has some clues that we don't know about."
Chi Xia added his guess: "Maybe it's about the underground level of the orphanage, or maybe it's about Tu Guoan, or maybe... there's another possibility."
"What? " Zhao asked.
"We have an important witness in the Onozipo case, but we have no clues."
Zhao Suolue thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "Wang wins!"
"Yes, Wang Sheng."
Chi Xia nodded: "In the case of Ono Zipo, his presence was a bit abrupt. He appeared and disappeared, but it did not affect the investigation of the whole case. Therefore, all of us gradually ignored this person. I have always suspected that he was Lao K's man."
"But between him and Chu Hongli..."
Zhao still couldn't figure it out but didn't continue talking. Instead, he said, "I'll check it out right away."
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Xun said.
Chief Zhao waved his hand: "Why are you talking about this? But I still want to ask, will Old Ding return to Yu Ji? Where are you going to start the next investigation?"
"Yu Ji will probably stay for two more days, and he should return to Dongzhou by then. As for Uncle Ding, he is now in the Municipal Bureau, helping to check the condition of the corpses."
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Not long after Luo Xun finished saying this, Ning Yi called with a video.
Luo Xun clicked on the video in front of Zhao Suo and Chi Xia. The screen was first filled with Uncle Ding's face. Because he was too close, his breath blurred the camera.
Chi Xia and the others heard him cursing at Ning Yi over there, until Ning Yi came over and wiped the camera: "You are very good at playing mahjong, but don't you know to hold your phone up when playing with it? Haven't you learned that the 45° angle is the most slimming?"
Uncle Ding said sarcastically, "I have been in the village for so many years, what do I know? I am an old man without children who spends his days playing mahjong. Who have I offended? An old man without children who can't use a mobile phone is looked down upon? You city people are too arrogant, aren't you? I'd better go back to my Yuji."
Chi Xia, Luo Xun and Chief Zhao on the other side of the camera couldn't help but roll their eyes.
"You two, master and disciple, please hold off on the beating and scolding." Luo Xun interrupted Uncle Ding: "Let's get down to business. How is the examination of the corpse going?"
The video screen shook a bit, and it was initially determined that Uncle Ding, in a rage, threw the phone into his apprentice's arms.
When Ning Yi's face appeared on the screen, Luo Xun asked, "Why are you so old? Uncle Ding's temper isn't that bad."
Ning Yi yawned, "He wanted to go back to Yu Ji, but I took him to the forensic room to help. He's in a bad mood. Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's get down to business."
The expressions of Luo Xun and the others quickly turned serious.
Ning Yi said, "The results of the injection samples brought back by Yu Ji are basically out. I detected something similar to snake venom in it, but I'm not completely sure yet. I need a second test from the provincial department."
After meeting with Mr. Qiu, Chi Xia asked again: "Is there any connection between the toxins remaining in the victim's body and the injected sample?"
"No."
Ning Yi said: "The thirty-six corpses brought back from the orphanage showed signs of being electrocuted, irradiated, and drugged. Moreover, the degree of decay of the corpses was not natural decay. They were processed after death, probably for the purpose of accelerating the decay rate."
"What is the toxin in their bodies?" Zhao Suo couldn't help but ask.
Ning Yi was a little embarrassed: "We don't know yet. Not to mention that the toxin has a decomposition cycle, these victims are not just in this state because of the effects of drugs."
"Is it related to intervention and gene change?" Chi Xia asked.
Uncle Ding appeared in the picture, and he said, "You are quite smart, little girl. Although genes can be changed, they cannot be changed easily, not to mention how difficult it is to change them artificially."
Chi Xia continued his words, "But physical or chemical methods can be used to cause gene mutations. The other party's goal is to study criminal genes."
"Yes, to put it simply, it is induced by physical, chemical, and biological factors, such as physical radiation stimulation, radiation, chemical factors including nitrite, aflatoxin, base analogs, etc., as well as some unexplained stimulation, and certain viruses and bacteria caused by biological factors, which may cause mutations in some human gene segments and lead to pathology."
Uncle Ding's face darkened as he finished speaking: "These children are not the result of a single study, but a combination of these factors, so it is difficult to find out the exact cause."
Zhao Suo was so angry that he couldn't help but call him a beast. Luo Xun glanced at Chi Xia's face with a gloomy look.
After saying this, Ning Yi was about to end the video call, but Luo Xun said, "Don't end it yet. I want to talk to Uncle Ding alone."
He held up his phone and looked at Chi Xia and Zhao Suo: "Let me talk about some personal matters. Chi Xia, go see how Lao Cao is doing. By the way, give Lao Lin and the others a call to ask about their progress."
Chi Xia didn't think much about it and responded.
Luo Xun took his phone and went out. It was already dark outside. He found a quiet place and said, "Lao Ning, please step aside. I want to talk to your master."
Ning Yi rolled his eyes and wanted to say something sarcastic to him, but gave up when he saw his expression in the video.
Uncle Ding took the phone and asked him, "What are you doing? I've said everything I need to say. Please don't push me any further."
"It's not Captain Zhang's business."
Luo Xun asked: "Uncle Ding, if a person has undergone a long period of genetic modification experiments, what are the chances of him still being alive and well?"
Uncle Ding frowned: "Who are you talking about?"
Luo Xun said: "Don't worry about it, just tell me."
"Your girlfriend?" Uncle Ding did n't care: "Chi Xia?"
Luo Xun's expression changed and he nodded reluctantly.
"There are many things in this world that are difficult to explain clearly. At least Chi Xia is alive and well now. Not only is she alive and well, she can also eat and drink. If she had undergone a genetic modification experiment, I dare not say anything else, but one thing is certain."
Luo Xun was a little anxious: "Can you please stop talking nonsense ?"
Uncle Ding sighed and said seriously, "The rigorous and complex experimental process will definitely affect her body functions. She may have some conveniences that are different from ordinary people now, but good and bad are interdependent. One day, she will have to bear the consequences of this thing."
Luo Xun felt his throat tighten: "What are the consequences?"
"I don't know about that."
Uncle Ding took a deep breath. "For example, living a shorter life than the average person, declining physical functions, being too smart and overloading the brain, getting injured, becoming disabled... There are too many options. No one knows what the sequelae will be until the time comes."
Luo Xun didn't speak for a long time.
"You don't have to worry."
Uncle Ding added, "Compared to the thirty-six corpses lying here, she is much luckier. Young people should not always think about the future, but live in the present. Why are you so anxious about things that haven't happened yet?"
Luo Xun took a deep breath, not wanting to hear the old man's words of comfort. He said he knew and hung up the phone.
