Serious Case Tracking

Chapter 62 The Origin of the Golden Silkworm

In the reception room of the police station, Liao Xinxin, the chairman of Xinxing Century Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., was invited back to the police station by the investigators as soon as he got off the plane. As for why Meng Shaohui asked Liao Xinxin to assist in the investigation, the reason was very simple. In addition to being the chairman of Xinxing Century Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., she is also Chen Haitao's wife, so it is more direct to learn about some situations through her.

And Meng Shaohui also briefly explained to her the situation of inviting her to the police station immediately. Of course, he deliberately concealed the specific cause of death of the deceased, mainly because he was worried about revealing the progress of the case.

After listening to Meng Shaohui's words, Liao Xinxin showed a surprised expression on her face, but soon she realized her gaffe, quickly adjusted her mood, and her expression returned to calm.

"I've already outlined the situation. Ms. Liao, please come here because I want to know about the relationship between Li Jian and Wu Likai."

Meng Shaohui planned to start with the two deceased first, so Chen Haitao's case has not been mentioned yet.

"They used to be employees of my company, to be precise, they should be project researchers of my company."

"Do you know anything about them?"

"How should I put it? Since they are employees of my company, I will know more or less, let alone they are project researchers, but what I know is only some work situations. If my husband is still in other situations If so, maybe I can provide you with more details, after all, they belong to his employees."

"Your husband? Do you mean Chen Haitao?"

Liao Xinxin didn't reply, but simply nodded, and her expression suddenly became a little lonely. It seemed that time hadn't diminished her longing for her husband. From this, it could be seen that she loved Chen Haitao very much.

"I'm sorry, I brought up your sadness." Meng Shaohui felt that his question was too direct, so he quickly apologized.

"It's okay, it's all in the past."

Liao Xinxin took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and smiled slightly, but the smile was forced and seemed a little stiff.

"Then based on what you know about Li Jian and Wu Likai, how are they? Did you have any grudges with anyone in the company?"

"Well..." Liao Xinxin didn't answer right away, she thought for a long time before replying: "Based on what I know about the two of them, from the perspective of work performance, they are quite satisfactory, and there is nothing outstanding in the company, anyway What Haitao told them to do, they just do it. As for who you said you had a grudge with, then I don't know."

"By the way, Mr. Liao, since you are the chairman of the biopharmaceutical company, you must have deep research on biology, right?"

"Well, that's natural."

"I want to ask you a question." After finishing speaking, Meng Shaohui took out the photo of the golden silkworm Gu taken during the autopsy and handed it over, and then asked: "I want to ask you if you know what kind of creature this is?" What?"

"This is..." Liao Xinxin's expression changed drastically after taking the photo and looking at it for a while, she stared at the photo in surprise for a while before recovering: "Where did you get this photo?"

"Forgive me for the time being. It seems that you should know what this creature is, right?"

Liao Xinxin nodded. After adjusting her emotions, she said slowly, "This creature is called 'Golden Silkworm'. Haitao was studying this creature before the accident."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I have seen the renderings he made with the computer in his computer, but it is a pity that the experiment has not been successful, and he is no longer here."

The creatures in the photo may look disgusting to ordinary people, but to Liao Xinxin, they seem like a picture, a beautiful picture, a beautiful picture that brings her memory back to the past .

Seeing this, Meng Shaohui asked curiously, "Why did Chen Haitao study this kind of creature back then?"

Meng Shaohui's question brought Liao Xinxin back from memory to reality, and she nodded: "This creature is the result of research on a new anti-gastric cancer drug. It was handed over to him before he died. The inspiration for the research came from Du Maoshan's curiosity about Miao Jiang's voodoo. In his opinion, although those voodoo are exaggerated to be very magical, some of them can still be realized through scientific means. , and can even make great contributions to medicine. Later, Haitao entered the company with research materials. When I was working on a new drug for gastric cancer, I read the research report he submitted and felt that I could give it a try. If it succeeds, it will not only achieve a miracle in the history of human medicine, but also bring greater economic benefits to the company. It was nothing more than a loss of scientific research funds, which did not have much impact on the company, so I agreed to Haitao and asked him to lead a few scientific researchers to form a research team to conduct research on new drugs. After that, Haitao made a special trip to Yunnan , had a more detailed and in-depth understanding of Gu, and then began his research. What he studied was to use the method of gene mutation to mutate silkworms that were originally docile and only ate mulberry leaves, so that they no longer ate mulberry leaves, but changed Eat the malignant tumor formed in the human stomach, so that it can cure or control the development of gastric cancer without surgery and chemotherapy."

"A very creative idea indeed!"

Meng Shaohui couldn't help but praised. At this time, he also thought of what the forensic doctor said before: The original intention should not be to kill people. This may be a semi-finished product after a failed biological experiment.

Thinking of this, Meng Shaohui continued to ask: "You just said that the experiment was not successful, and Chen Haitao was killed. So how far has the experiment been?"

"It took a total of ten years from the preliminary preparations to the study of the initial form of the golden silkworm. Unfortunately, Hai Tao was killed three years ago, and the experimental plan also stalled. Although I wanted to continue the research, but through the After experiments on animals, it was found that although the golden silkworm has a shape and can resist the erosion of gastric juice, it cannot really achieve the effect of anti-stomach cancer. The animal's body undergoes rapid and massive reproduction, and the final result is the death of the animal."

"That means this research has not entered the stage of human experiments?"

"Of course not. Experiments on animals have not been successful. How could we conduct human experiments."

"Then do you know how long it will take from reproduction to death if the 'golden silkworm' enters the human body?"

"It should be about seven days. Officer, why are you so interested in this experiment? Also, where did you get this photo of the golden silkworm?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Liao, I'm sorry I can't answer your question." After Meng Shaohui finished speaking, he continued to ask: "There is one last question. Did Li Jian and Wu Likai also participate in the research on golden silkworms?"

"Yes."

"Apart from them, who else participated in the experiment?"

"Well..." Liao Xinxin thought carefully for a moment before replying: "If I remember correctly, besides Li Jian and Wu Likai, there are five other people: Hu Haoting, Xu Zhi, Jiang Guowei, Zhao Xudong, and Cai Wenbin."

"Then do they all know the research method of golden silkworm?"

"I probably don't know. Haitao kept the contents of the experiment very secret back then, so he didn't even reveal a word about some of the most critical data in the experiment, let alone those few people."

"Then is there still some experimental data about the golden silkworm?"

"No, after the experiment failed, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles caused by the leakage of the research data, all the experimental data have been completely destroyed. Even if it is not destroyed, I believe that unless Haitao, there will never be another person who can develop the golden silkworm. , because there is still some important data in Haitao's hands. After he was killed, that set of data disappeared. If he is still alive, I believe he will be able to successfully study the golden silkworm." Liao Xinxin said confidently.

However, whether this confidence is due to Chen Haitao's ability or her love for Chen Haitao, or both, only Liao Xinxin knows best.

"Then do you still have a way to contact those people who participated in the experiment back then?"

"I can't guarantee this. All I have is their contact information when they were in the company. Because after Haitao's accident, the experiment also ended in failure. After that, several of them left the company one after another. I and them also have a good relationship with each other. No contact."

Through the conversation with Liao Xinxin, Meng Shaohui has a general understanding of some questions. Of course, the most important one is the source of the murder weapon - the golden silkworm. As for whether Chen Haitao's case is related to the two murders at this stage The only thing that is certain is that the mutant creature used by the murderer is the new anti-stomach cancer drug Golden Silkworm that Chen Haitao failed to research, but who is this murderer?And how to get this drug that failed in research?And judging from the motive of the murderer, it is most likely revenge, so where does the hatred come from?

Although Liao Xinxin did not provide many valuable clues, it still brought a little light to the investigation work that was still in the dark fog. Meng Shaohui also followed the clues and continued to investigate the several clues that appeared.

The first thing to investigate is of course Chen Haitao's case. After all, the murderer's method of attack is closely related to him. Although Chen Haitao is dead, as the instigator of the golden silkworm, it is reasonable to start a new investigation on him, and even more so. What's more, his murder that year is still an unsolved case.

The second is Li Jian and Wu Likai. The murderer used golden silkworms to commit murders. Appeared, and evolved into a murder tool, what is the connection among them is also the key to solving the case.

The last thing is to investigate the other five researchers back then. They all participated in the research on the golden silkworm, and they are also the people who are most likely to know how to make the golden silkworm. According to Liao Xinxin, the golden silkworm was destroyed after the experiment failed. Moreover, only Chen Haitao knows the most important formula for making golden silkworm, but it does not rule out that someone involved in the research knew the research method of golden silkworm or stole the research materials back then, thus replicating golden silkworm.
