Chapter 74 Did you know someone died outside the research institute you investigated?
A small town [-] kilometers away from Jiangcheng.

After nightfall, the place fell into silence and tranquility. It was originally a small town with few people.

There are not many people at noon, let alone night.

Compared with the city, here there is no hustle and bustle of lights, but it has its own leisurely pace of life.

Because there is no unique geographical location and scenery, it does not develop tourism like other small towns.

There are only a few locals who know this place, so it has been extremely quiet for decades.

The sporadic lights of the small town are lit up under the night sky. There are not thousands of lights, but there are street lights lit along the way.

In the northwest corner of the town, a wide cement road extends from the center of the town to here.

It is obviously an inaccessible place, but there is a wide and straight concrete road leading directly to it.

But it can also be seen that there have been no cars on this road for many years, and a lot of weeds have grown in the gaps in the middle of the road.

It looked desolate everywhere, and even the fields on both sides were no longer cultivated.

In a dark place, a ray of light suddenly appeared at this moment, faintly visible.

At the end of the cement road is a factory building with a large area. The surrounding walls are very high, exceeding the height of ordinary factory building walls.

After entering from the main entrance, if you want to go in again, you must have a password.

Together with the extremely thick door inside and outside, after so many years, weeds have grown in the cracks in the wall beside the door.

Chu Xi leaned halfway in front of the door and turned off the flashlight.

The computer was connected to the keyhole for unlocking the lock with a data cable, and the palm-sized display screen flickered brightly.

"It's been more than ten years, I didn't expect this door to be open." She said to herself.

After entering the fence, there is only one way to enter the factory building. All the walls are three or four stories thick.

Under the extremely high level of secrecy, if you don't go through the main entrance, you will have nowhere to go.

Chu Xi, who was waiting for Zhi Huai on Ye Fei's side to write the door-opening program, leaned against the wall, took out the bread he brought from his backpack and ate it.

As soon as she bit it down, she heard footsteps coming from a distance.

Chu Xi packed up his things and jumped onto the top of the wall, squatting on the top to watch the people sneaking around.

"Be quiet."

There were a lot of people, about seven or eight, who seemed to be looking for something, and searched around the perimeter of the wall several times.

"No one came!"

After the investigation, several people stood outside the overgrown wall.

"This place can't be kept anymore, let's retreat first."

The leader said coldly.

It wasn't until everyone evacuated that Chu Xi jumped off the wall.

As soon as he stood firm, a person rushed out from behind.

Chu Xi moved quickly and kicked back, and the man blocked her attack and yelled.

"Sister Xi is me."

Chu Xi relaxed and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Half an hour late, where did you play again?"

This kid has been slack in thinking recently, so Ye Fei has to educate him well.

"It took a bit of effort to get rid of those tails." Jing Chu said aggrievedly.

Chu Xi reached out to take the things he brought, and all the related documents showed how glorious this place was 15 years ago.

"This is the research institute of the eldest father. It looks very powerful."

Chu Xi looked at the glamorous place in the photo, but now it was full of scars and overgrown with weeds.

Nothing in this world will ever be the same.

"Who sent the people following you?"

Jing Chu crouched in front of the door and looked curiously at the beating letters and numbers on the screen.

"Ye Qingyuan."

According to Mr. Zhou Tingli, after Ye Qingcheng's accident that year, the self-destruct device was activated here.

The central control system that controlled the entire research institute was automatically blocked, and all associated passwords were reconstructed.

Even Mr. Zhou Tingli, who worked here with Ye Qingcheng back then, can no longer enter fingerprints or passwords to open this place.

If you want to restart here, you can only access the system and rewrite all the codes.

"Sister Xi, how long will it take?" Jing Chu squatted in front of the door.

Chu Xi glanced at the watch on his wrist, there was still half an hour left.

"You wait here and let me know when the door opens."

After saying that, he turned and left, and Jing Chu squatted beside the computer in a daze.

"Then what if something goes wrong?!"

His computer skills are limited to playing games, and he is not the master who can turn the tide.

"You thought Ker was a vegetarian, and with his remote control, you don't have to be so afraid."

The person disappeared into the corner after speaking.

Jing Chu stared at the computer for a moment, watching the letters and symbols jumping on the screen and even stopped breathing.

After Chu Xi came out, she went to the small town. She was almost starved to death at noon, and the bread she ate was so dry that she almost choked to death.

Thinking of this, she sighed, who would have known that the sassy agent wasn't eating bread behind his back.

Although there are not many people living in the town, there are still corresponding shops.

Chu Xi searched around, and finally found a shop with a half-closed wooden door by the river.

They sell snacks such as fried rice. Seeing her standing at the door, the old couple greeted her warmly.

"Little girl, which family are you relative from?" the old woman asked her.

Everyone who lives in this small town knows each other, and they all know which family has relatives.

"I'm here for tourism, not to visit relatives."

Chu Xi sat down at the table closest to the door, and the old lady served her a plate of pickles.

"We haven't had many foreigners in this town for many years, and this month is the first time I've seen a foreigner."

Chu Xi took the chopsticks and sang, this pickle tastes good, much better than the ones produced on the assembly line outside.

"Did you say that many outsiders came here before?"

The old woman mentioned this proud face, "15 years ago, our place developed very well, and there were cars going in and out every day."

What the old man said should be when the laboratory was still operating normally.

She was the only guest, so of course the food was served much faster.

There are not many choices in the small shop, but the tomato scrambled egg rice bowl she ordered was very sincere.

The amount of eggs is breathtaking.

Chu Xi had just taken two bites when a voice of inquiry came from behind him.

"Old man, is there any food left?"

The old woman greeted him warmly.

The visitor sat down directly at the table opposite Chu Xi, looking up and looking at each other.

She saw the surprise in the eyes of the person opposite.

"The road to Yuanjia is narrow." Chi Yan raised his eyebrows.

He immediately got up and sat down at Chu Xi's table.

"What are you doing here?"

Chu Xi glanced at him and continued to eat.

"Young man, what do you eat?" the old woman asked.

Chi Yan pointed at Chu Xi's plate, "Same as her."

Seeing this, the old man went to the back kitchen to arrange cooking.

"Hey, you still owe me the tea leaves, so you don't pretend you don't know me when you see me."

Chi Yan's words are true and a bit too much, and his personality is not as cold as other prosecutors.

"I didn't say I don't know you, I just don't want to talk to you." Chu Xi said very honestly.

"Why is there so much hostility towards me?"

Chi Yan recalled in his mind that he didn't seem to have offended her at all.

This place is not a popular attraction, and it is impossible for anyone to travel here.

It's impossible for this person to appear here because he came from Jiangcheng in idleness.

"Are you here to work for Ye Fei?"

The chopsticks in Chu Xi's hand poked at the bottom of the plate, and the tip of his tongue licked the tomato on his lips before opening his mouth.

"Don't eat and sleep without talking, don't force me to drive you out."

Chi Yan shut his mouth obediently, and after his rice bowl was served, he began to eat slowly.

After the owner and his wife finished their work, they took a cattail fan to enjoy the shade at the door.

If these two children hadn't come to the store, they would have been ready to rest at this point.

Soon the two people in the store were full.

After paying the money, the two walked out of the store at the same time, and walked across the arch bridge over the small river in front of the store. It took 15 minutes to walk back to the place where Chu Xi came from.

"Wait, you just left." Chi Yan chased after him.

"Is the Jiangcheng Justice Department so busy?" Chu Xi glanced at him.

Chi Yan heard the sarcasm in her words, and said disapprovingly, "No one said that you are not allowed to go out for a walk."

"Since it's a walk, why are you following me?" Chu Xi stopped.

She is the person who hates people who follow her without any sense of boundaries.

Especially while still working.

Chu Xi, who was eager to get rid of him, quickened his pace, but before he had walked a long distance, the words of the man behind him successfully stopped him.

"Did you know that someone died outside the institute you investigated three days ago?"

Chu Xi looked back at him, "Is someone dead?"

Seeing that her interest was aroused, the person in front of her stopped talking and took a step forward to walk in front of her.

"Wait, let me clarify what's going on." Chu Xi reacted and chased after him.

Chi Yan deliberately kept a distance from her, "Miss, what are you doing with me for a walk?"

Obviously intentional.

Chu Xi was so angry that he kicked him immediately.

Chi Yan, who avoided her attack, swaggered forward.

"If I catch his pigtails, I will definitely kill him." Chu Xi clenched his hands into fists.

The relationship between the two of them has been forged since the matter of tea, and they are both incompatible with each other.

No matter how noisy it is, there will be no major problems.

When she returned to the research institute, Jing Chu still maintained the same posture as when she left.

The progress loading bar on the computer screen has also reached 90.00%.

Chi Yan only glanced at the two of them, and took out his tools to investigate around.

"Aren't you a prosecutor? It's not your turn to conduct an on-site investigation." Chu Xi looked at his serious movements and said.

This person must have worried too much.

"All the evidence that needs to be collected has already been obtained. There is no value here. Besides, I am not investigating as a prosecutor now."

Jing Chu looked at him jumping up and down, also very curious.

"The man died here. The cause of death was electric shock. It is said that he tried to open the door violently and was killed by the electric current on the door."

Hearing this, Jing Chu subconsciously took half a step back, moving a little further away from the wall.

"What is the identity of that person?" Chu Xi asked curiously.

Chi Yan shrugged, "He is an old employee who worked here 15 years ago. He has no family members. There is no need to file civil compensation and the case was closed by accident."

The old staff from 15 years ago returned to this deserted place after 15 years.

Even risking their lives to open this door.

The reason for this is intriguing.

"Do you want to cooperate?" Chi Yan stared at her, "I was entrusted to investigate this case, and it seems that you two are also here for this."

Chu Xi raised his eyes, "Wouldn't it be Zhi Huai who entrusted you?"

"No." Chi Yan denied it.

Are you kidding me, can he be ordered by Zhi Huai?
He's also a decent prosecutor, okay?

"Okay, if you want to cooperate, what did you find?" Chu Xi nodded.

It is useful to be able to exchange information and help each other.

Chi Yan smiled, his eyes full of sincerity, "No."

Jing Chu blinked, this man really wanted to be a white wolf.

"go away."

Chu Xi opened his mouth to chase people away.

"Don't, just because I can't find it now doesn't mean I won't find it in the future." Chi Yan leaned forward with a smile on his face.

When the progress bar was loaded to [-], there was the sound of gears turning inside the door, and then the heavy iron door was popped out.

In an instant, all the light tubes inside were lit up, even though the outside was barren, the inside was still as clean as new.

The three of them stood at the door, not intending to rush in.

This place has been dusty for so many years, and now it is opened again, no one can say what will change inside.

Everything needs to be done with care.

……

The Zhi family's old house in Jiangcheng.

Under the sky full of stars, the gurgling spring water in the courtyard reveals a trace of tranquility and harmony.

The cloud courtyard is brightly lit.

Xiaoguo sat in the yard waiting for the summons from the hostess and hostess inside.

But almost two hours have passed since the two came back, and they haven't called her during this period.

Counting the time, it was almost time for her to rest.

Watching the news for the past two days, she wanted to watch The Story of the Stone.

When I go back later, I need to find more materials and have a look.

Potato CP...

The study room was brightly lit, and two computer screens were placed side by side on the desk.

Ye Fei and Zhi Huai sat together. On the left screen was Mr. Zhou's picture, and on the right were Chu Xi and Jing Chu who had opened the door of the research room.

"Actually, if you go back to the laboratory to investigate the matter now, maybe you can't find anything. When the laboratory was acquired and merged back then, your father gave an order to transfer all the results and seal the laboratory forever."

It is equivalent to an empty shell, and it is of no use anymore.

"I found a signature from the document given by Lawyer Cai. Are you talking about him?"

Ye Fei spread out the files and displayed them in front of the computer as he spoke.

Elder Zhou moved his presbyopic glasses and shook his head after seeing the signature on them clearly.

"The two people who conducted research with your father back then were Shen Han and Yu Jinchuan. Half a month before your father passed away, Shen Han transferred the research results to other companies. After your father died, Yu Jinchuan disappeared."

So if you want to find out what happened that year, you must find these two people.

"Shen Han is dead."

Zhi Huai beside Ye Fei suddenly spoke.

Ye Fei looked at him, and the man spread out the things that Xingmo had just sent over.

Shen Han died outside the institute three days ago.

Death was ruled accidental.

At this juncture, the key person is gone?
