Chapter 39

Ye Xiao drove to the entrance of the Institute of Paleontology. He got out of the car, looked at the sign at the entrance, and then walked in.

Ye Xiao asked a staff member: "Where is Professor Li from your institute?"

The staff replied: "In the library."

Ye Xiao walked towards the library.

Professor Li walked back and forth under a row of tall bookshelves alone.The lighting in the library was not very good, and the dim light came in from the narrow window, making his shadow sway slowly, drawing a long black line on the ground.

Ye Xiao walked up to him slowly, and said softly: "Professor Li, hello, I'm from the Public Security Bureau, and I want to ask you for some information." After speaking, he took out his ID.

Professor Li looked up at him for a while, then said, "What's the matter?"

Ye Xiao: "Professor Li, I want to ask someone, her name is Nie Xiaoqing."

Professor Li: "Ask her what she is doing, she is just one of my students."

Ye Xiao: "Where is she now?"

Professor Li: "I don't know."

Ye Xiao felt that some old people had strange personalities, so he asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Professor Li: "Nie Xiaoqing was recommended by me to do an internship at the Institute of Archeology some time ago, but she disappeared the next day after returning from the internship, and she was nowhere to be found. The institute has already reported her disappearance to the police. "

Ye Xiao: "Excuse me, can I take a look at her profile and photos?"

Professor Li nodded and said, "Come with me."

They left the library.

In the corridor, Professor Li asked as he walked, "Did Nie Xiaoqing break the law?"

Ye Xiao: "No, we just suspect that she might be related to a case."

Professor Li: "Is it a case of serial deaths in the Institute of Archeology?"

Ye Xiao: "Professor Li, so you also know about this."

Professor Li: "They are all people in the circle. If there is a little trouble, they will all know. I heard that all people died of myocardial infarction?"

Ye Xiao: "Yes."

Professor Li: "I'm afraid, it's not that simple."

Ye Xiao: "Professor Li, what do you think?"

Professor Li: "Here we are."

Before they knew it, they had come to a door with "Archive Room" written on it.

Ye Xiao and Professor Li walked into the archives room.Professor Li opened a cabinet, took out a stack of documents and handed them to Ye Xiao, saying, "Here are the materials of Nie Xiaoqing, you can read them yourself."

Ye Xiao spread out the documents, one of which was a registration form that Nie Xiaoqing had filled out by herself, and a picture of her was pasted in the upper right corner of the registration form.After Ye Xiao saw the photo, he was startled suddenly, his gaze was immediately nailed into the photo like a nail.That's right, the girl in the photo is Lan Yue.

The scene of seeing Lan Yue downstairs at Luo Zhou's house that day appeared in front of his eyes again.

Ye Xiao returned to reality again, staring at the photo of Nie Xiaoqing in front of him with wide eyes.He said softly to himself: "It turns out that Lanyue is Nie Xiaoqing, and Nie Xiaoqing is Lanyue. They are the same person."

Professor Li (didn't seem to hear clearly): "What did you say?"

Ye Xiao: "No, nothing."

Ye Xiao continued to look at the registration form named Nie Xiaoqing, which was filled out by herself.

Ye Xiao copied Nie Xiaoqing's home address in this document, and then he turned around and asked Professor Li, "I'm sorry, Professor Li, what is your impression of Nie Xiaoqing?"

Professor Li thought for a while and said: "She is very smart, and she can often draw inferences and put forward some imaginative ideas when researching and studying. She is especially good at learning about ancient microorganisms."

Ye Xiao thought of something, and immediately interrupted Professor Li: "Ancient microorganisms? Professor Li, can you be more specific?"

Professor Li: "It is to study the morphology and evolution process of ancient microorganisms, and the impact of ancient microorganisms on human society in history."

Ye Xiao: "Professor Li, viruses are also microorganisms, right?"

Professor Li: "Yes. A few months ago, Nie Xiaoqing was writing a paper on ancient infectious diseases. She mainly analyzed it from the perspective of microbiology, such as the pathology of the Black Death in Europe in the Middle Ages and the occurrence and spread of the plague virus at that time. characteristics and so on."

Ye Xiao asked puzzledly: "Why did you introduce Nie Xiaoqing to the Institute of Archeology?"

Professor Li: "Nie Xiaoqing took the initiative to ask for an internship at the Institute of Archaeology. I don't know why she did it. However, I have a good personal relationship with Wen Haogu, the director of the Institute of Archaeology. I heard that they brought back an ancient The mummy is just suitable as a case and material for Nie Xiaoqing's thesis, so I agreed and recommended her to Wen Haogu."

Ye Xiao: "So, Nie Xiaoqing is an expert in this field. Professor Li, how is she?"

Professor Li: "Her conduct has always been good, and she has never had any bad behaviors. It's just that she doesn't like to talk, and she is a bit introverted. Oh, and she loves poetry."

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, Professor Li, thank you for your cooperation. I'll go first. Next time if necessary, we will ask you to help, I mean about technology."

Professor Li: "Technically?"

Ye Xiao: "Yes, I suspect that the death incident at the Institute of Archeology has an important connection with Nie Xiaoqing and the subject she is researching."

Professor Li said in surprise: "If this is really the case, it will be very serious."

Ye Xiao's answer was heavy: "That's what I'm worried about, Professor Li, you are an expert, and I will ask you for help at any time. Sorry to trouble you, goodbye."

Ye Xiao quickly left here.
