Chapter 57

In the afternoon, as soon as Gu Xi woke up, Wei Heng found her: "Huang Er answered."

"How do you say it?" Gu Xi held a bowl of rice porridge and drank it slowly.

Wei Heng opened his personal terminal and tapped with his fingertips: "He agreed to the conditions you proposed...to show his sincerity in cooperation, this time he also sent a message for free..."

"Oh?" Gu Xi looked up and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Wei Heng turned the light screen in front of her: "Huang Er said that the three wanted criminals who were taken away yesterday were detained at No. 176 this morning..."

Gu Xi guessed the number 176 from the tone of his voice, which may not be easy.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Where is No. 176?"

Wei Heng lowered his eyes slightly: "Every large base has a No. 176, which is the place where those... monsters are detained."

Gu Xi paused slightly as he drank the porridge.

At the Nancheng Hotel yesterday, she didn't notice any signs of mutation in those three people.
Man, why was he locked up in that place?

This thing is not right.

Gu Xi drank the porridge slowly, put the empty bowl aside, raised her hand and tapped the edge of the table.

After a while, she raised her head and said, "Ask Huang Er, can you find out the identities of the three wanted criminals, and why they are wanted?"

Wei Heng nodded, and quickly operated on the light screen.

Soon, Huang Er replied.

"Huang Er said that he checked yesterday. The three wanted criminals are not locals, and their origins are a mystery, but they should come from the southwest according to their accent. As for the reason for being wanted... the wanted warrant is from a foreigner. It was directly released by the Energy Research Institute..."

After a pause, Wei Heng waited for Huang Er's next message to arrive, and then concluded:
"Huang Er also said that the senior management of the Nancheng Base did not know about the arrest beforehand, but they valued the three wanted criminals very much, and even clashed with the Ability Research Institute because of this..."

"And this time, the Nancheng Base's attitude towards the Ability Research Institute is unprecedentedly tough." Finally, Wei Heng followed the script and finished reading the last message from Huang Er.

... Unprecedented toughness, this adjective obviously has a meaning and is intriguing.

Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity?

At some point, the little green shoots had gotten out of her fingertips and were circling around her wrist.

Gu Xi looked down at the little green bud, and habitually pressed the phalanx of the index finger of his left hand.

After being silent for a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Wei Heng: "Tell Huang Er, I want to know who those three people met and what they said after they were taken to No. 176... In short, the more detailed the better." .”

Wei Heng nodded, without asking any further questions, and directly relayed her words.

But this time, it took about ten minutes before Huang Er's reply came.

He sent a long message, Wei Heng frowned slightly after reading it.

"How to say?" Gu Xi didn't bother to look at the light screen, and asked Wei Heng directly.

Wei Heng's complexion was a little ugly.

Huang Er said a lot of euphemistic nonsense this time, and Wei Heng summarized it after condensing it: "Huang Er said that No. 176 is the place with the strictest security measures in the entire base, and your request made him feel very embarrassed... ..."

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows: Difficult?That is actually possible.

However, it depends on whether the price is suitable...

Gu Xi rested his hand on the edge of the table lightly, and looked up: "Ask him, is 100 million catties of sweet potatoes with a coefficient of variation lower than 1 enough?"

At the moment, this is obviously a sky-high price that people cannot refuse.

Sure enough, Huang Er didn't even mention the price this time, and agreed immediately.

That evening, Huang Er sent the latest news.

"Dead?" Gu Xi was surprised, put down the dictionary in his hand, and looked up.

"Well, he died." While staring at the light screen, Wei Heng relayed the news from Huang Er: "Huang Er said that in fact, he died not long after he was delivered to No. 176 in the morning, but the base deliberately concealed it. He just got the news about this matter..."

"So, the person died in the morning?" Gu Xi asked.

"It should be." Wei Heng said solemnly: "But the exact time of death, Huang Er can't be sure at present. The only thing that can be sure is that the person is indeed dead, and he died on the 176th."

"All three are dead?" Gu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then what is the cause of death?"

"All three are dead." Wei Heng nodded, and slowly looked up: "It is said that they died suddenly."

Sudden death?

Still three together?
This statement is too perfunctory.

Gu Xi frowned slightly, this is not right.Those three people died suddenly together, and within such a short period of time, isn't this clearly telling others that there is a problem here.

So, who did this?
Moving so fast, is it the Nancheng base?

Or the Ability Research Institute?
Or... the more secretive oriole hiding behind?Or even a hunter?

Gu Xi's hand hanging on one side pressed the lower phalanx calmly.

After a while, she slowly raised her head and asked Wei Heng, "What's the reaction from the Nancheng Base?"

"The reaction from the base side is kind of weird."

Wei Heng quickly browsed through the latest news sent by Huang Er, and said: "According to Huang Er, it should not exceed 176 hours from the time when the three people were detained in No. 3 to when they died collectively. Shorter……"

"But after the person died, the base did not take any measures. Even the relevant personnel of No. 176 did not conduct interrogation, as if... just a few insignificant prisoners died."

But just yesterday, because of these three wanted criminals, the Nancheng Base even had a conflict with the Ability Research Institute.

Apparently, the top management of the base valued these three wanted criminals very much.

Things are a bit strange, and the direction has become confusing.

"Who did those three people meet after they were imprisoned in No. 176?" Gu Xi thought for a while and asked again.

"This Huang Er is still investigating." Wei Heng said: "But he can't guarantee how much useful information he can find out. And..."

Wei Heng frowned slightly, paused, and then looked up at Gu Xi: "This Huang Er secretly reminded us that it's best for us not to interfere in this matter..."

That is to say...the other party has actually found useful information, but they just don't want to tell them?Gu Xi frowned slightly.

Little Green Ya poked her fingertip, but Gu Xi pressed it back indifferently.

She was thinking about the importance of the information that one million catties of sweet potatoes with a low coefficient of variation could not be bought.

But this also confirms one thing from the side...

On the side, Wei Heng saw that she was lost in thought, and stopped talking.

After thinking about it, he still sent Ye Junhan a message.

Gu Xi sat at the stone table with his eyes slightly drooping. After a long silence, he raised his head and asked, "What about the Ability Research Institute? When a person dies, what's the reaction there?"

Wei Heng shook his head: "I don't know. I just asked about it. Huang Er said that his foundation is in the Nancheng base. As for the central base, he is beyond his reach."

"I know this."

At this moment, Shen Yue walked into the courtyard with his cousin Yang Chi.

As soon as Yang Chi saw Gu Xi, his eyes lit up, he pushed his cousin away with a shoulder, and walked up to Gu Xi quickly, smiling like a dog: "Sister Gu Xi, I'm here."

Shen Yue suddenly felt a little ashamed, raised his hand and stroked his forehead helplessly, thinking that his cousin was also a young man in his early twenties, but now he called Gu Xi a little girl just to eat...

Wei Heng glanced at him with a half-smile: You're a loafer, how dare you bring your family now?Do you think you haven't eaten enough?

Gu Xi is fine.

She had dealt with Yang Chi in the experimental field, and Shen Yue also vaguely revealed his relationship with Yang Chi.

However, this was the first time Shen Yue brought someone back.

So... Gu Xi looked up at Shen Yue, waiting for him to give himself an explanation.

Shen Yue glared at his cousin angrily, it was too embarrassing, so he didn't hurry to get down to business.

It's a pity that his cousin is staring at the big bowl of strawberries on the stone table with a salivating face at the moment, swallowing his saliva fiercely.

He didn't receive his brother's signal at all.

Shen Yue: Tired.

In the end, Gu Xi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and pushed the big bowl of strawberries in front of Yang Chi, "Eat it." Look, this child is so greedy that even Da Hong who is next to him hates it.

"Thank you, Sister Gu Xi!" Yang Chi muttered while munching strawberries, "From now on, you will be my half-sister!"

Shen Yue: "..."

Wei Heng: "..."

Big Red: "..."
