Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Idiot

Chi Zhao is usually only responsible for thinking and does not participate in the action.

However, the environment he lives in is dangerous after all. He has tried to practice over the years, but unfortunately his eyes would get sick from time to time, so he couldn't train for a long time.

Although he cannot compare with people like Sang Baiyu who have trained for many years, he is still better than ordinary people.

Chi Zhao walked towards the shelter alone.

Sang Baiyu's instructions coincided with the scene before his eyes.

Sang Baiyu told him every step he took, every direction, down to the specific angle and number of meters.

If there are no variables, he can take this path without disturbing anyone.

The headphones Chi Zhao was wearing were given to him by Fang Xiaoman, so he could hear their voices one-way.

There is a thermal imager inside the vehicle, which is used to observe movements inside the shelter.

Chi Zhao doesn't have any of these equipment.

Chi Zhao thought that if he chose to become their enemy, he would die a miserable death.

Under Sang Baiyu's instructions, Chi Zhao successfully sneaked into the shelter.

Sang Baiyu said, "They didn't find you, don't worry. Chi Ming's situation is the same as mine. She has a good sense of smell, but her hearing and vision are slightly worse. She won't hear the sound in the headphones."

"Now, keep walking forward. The eight rooms on the left are dormitories. All the children are inside and already asleep. Of the eight rooms on the right, the first three are occupied. Chi Ming is in the first room, a man is in the second room, and an unknown woman is in the third room. This should be the adult dormitory. Chi Ming is still asleep, but the last two are already asleep."

Chi Zhao also heard Fang Xiaoman's voice, "You can tell that?!"

Sang Baiyu: "Chi Ming's high ponytail is still untied."

Fang Xiaoman: “…”

When working outside, you still can't be too concerned about appearance.

Chi Zhao walked around from the back of the children's dormitory.

Sang Baiyu said, "The row of houses facing you should be classrooms. Look for their offices and see if there are any clues."

Chi Zhao stopped and looked to the right.

Of the eight rooms just mentioned, the first three are where Chi Ming and the other two sleep. What about the last five?

Sang Baiyu seemed to know what he was going to say and said regretfully, "Thermal imaging cameras can't see through walls. I was driving up high in the car and observing through the glass windows. I don't know what those rooms are used for. You'd better not go over there. Chi Ming is standing by the window right now. She obviously doesn't want to go to sleep yet."

Chi Zhao did not hesitate and turned to walk towards the five rooms.

Fang Xiaoman exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"

Sang Baiyu was silent for a moment and said, "People like us are absolutely confident in our sense of smell. If we can't smell anything, we will indeed let down our guard."

Chi Zhao smiled.

He tried not to make any sound.

Although the footsteps were not as loud as those of Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman, no one else would notice them unless they listened carefully.

Chi Zhao approached the office farthest from Chi Ming.

There was a lock on the office door, and there was a window next to the door. The curtains were not simply hung, but nailed shut. Moreover, the curtains themselves were very thick, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside the room.

The more you fear being seen, the more suspicious you become.

Chi Zhao took a quick look at the lock and took out the universal tool wire.

His body did not allow him to practice continuously like Sang Baiyu, but he could still open a lock. When he was a child, his family's business was not so big. Chi Mingyuan was like a grandson outside, and he was even more of a grandson among grandsons. Anyone could bully him.

After Chi Xi was born, the family's situation gradually improved and the situation was very different.

Chi Mingyuan likes Chi Xi very much and thinks he is a lucky star who brings wealth to the Chi family.

As for Chi Zhao, Chi Mingyuan treated Chi Zhao more like a leader than a father.

Chi Zhao opened the lock, controlling himself not to make any sound, put the lock in his pocket, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Thermal imagers can only observe through glass windows and cannot see through walls, so the room may not be empty.

But Chi Zhao was lucky.

After he entered, he saw a long table in the middle of the room. There were tables around the walls, and there were all kinds of bottles and jars on them.

These rooms are actually connected, and the walls have been broken through so that an adult can pass through.

Chi Zhao was silent for a moment, observing the structure of the house.

It really doesn't look like it will fall over.

Chi Zhao walked along the wall and first checked whether there was anyone in the other rooms on the left.

Fortunately, Chi Ming and the others were not that perverted, and only a few unoccupied rooms were connected.

Something is not right in the room on the left, as there are various instruments placed inside.

Chi Zhao didn't know what these instruments were used for, but they looked like the ones used in hospitals.

Chi Zhao's premonition became increasingly ominous.

He walked forward and came to the last room, which was the one closest to where people slept. It looked like an office.

There are sofas for meeting guests and a desk.

There was someone in the next room, so Chi Zhao went straight to the desk.

There is a safe under the desk, and the lock of the safe is difficult to open.

Chi Zhao was silent for a moment.

Sang Baiyu asked: "If you encounter difficulties, you can use headphones."

Chi Zhao still didn't say anything.

Sang Baiyu said, "I asked, you answered, it's knock once, not twice. Did you meet someone?"

Sang Baiyu heard two responses.

"all the best?"

A sound.

"Have you found any clues?"

A sound after hesitation.

Sang Baiyu thought that since there was hesitation, it might be a clue, but he hadn't seen it yet.

"Can't take it out?"

A sound.

Sang Baiyu asked, "Locked up?"

A sound.

Ordinary locks can't stop Chi Zhao.

Sang Baiyu: "Safe?"

A sound.

Bian Bin’s eyes almost popped out.

Sang Baiyu's brain works too fast, doesn't it?

He couldn't think of that much.

Opening a safe requires tools, such as a stethoscope.

Sang Baiyu regretted not bringing more tools for Chi Zhao.

The safe itself is quite heavy, so it is unrealistic to let Chi Zhao take it away.

Sang Baiyu was feeling worried when he suddenly heard the sound of mechanical gears turning.

Sang Baiyu was stunned: "Are you unlocking the door?"

A sound.

Fang Xiaoman frowned, "That's too ostentatious. Chi Ming hasn't slept yet. It would be bad if we wake her up. Chi Zhao looks so weak, I'm afraid he'll get beaten."

Bian Bin said anxiously: "Let's go save him now!"

Only Chi Xi looked at them blankly.

Everyone is powerful, everyone has a mission, except him.

Chi Xi said gloomily: "You guys..."

Fang Xiaoman said: "You are a hostage now, you can't speak casually."

Sang Baiyu said, "Before Chi Mingyuan came to Changxia, I had to inconvenience you."

Chi Xi: "..."

He said aggrievedly: "You need my help, I am willing to help you, why do you say this?"

Sang Baiyu was slightly startled. She explained, "It's not that I don't trust you. I just believe more in the relationship between father and son, and..."

Fang Xiaoman said, "We're worried that you might be tricked into telling us something given your intelligence."

Bian Bin looked at the two of them in fear.

How dare they talk to his boss like that?

The young boss must be mad!

Chi Xi said happily: "I knew you treated me as a friend!"

Bian Bin: “…”

Who are these people in the Chi family?

Bian Bin asked Sang Baiyu, "Do you really not need help? How do you open the lock of the safe?"

If even the lock of the safe can be opened, what else can he believe in!

Fang Xiaoman sighed, "You really don't have well-developed limbs and a simple mind."

Bian Bin: “…You know!!”

Fang Xiaoman snorted, "Old-fashioned mechanical turntable combination locks require a stethoscope. There's a brake pad inside the turntable. When it reaches a specific number, the brake pad drops into alignment, making a subtle 'click' sound. You have to use a stethoscope to find the combination number, and then you can open the safe."

After hearing this, Bian Bin fell silent.

He felt...

Fang Xiaoman and Sang Baiyu seem to be even worse than him?

Sang Baiyu said: "But even if we find the password, we don't have the key."

"You still need a key?!"

Sang Baiyu said: "Most safes require it. The combination number is just to clear the obstacles. You can only open it with the key when you turn the correct number."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Baiyu heard a slightly crisp sound.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "Looks like he found the key."

*

The man slept uneasily that night.

The tragic situation of Xia Xia and the others was still fresh in my mind. I also heard that the police had found the place where they dumped the bodies and dug them out. They also said that the bodies had been taken away by a mysterious and powerful person. I'm afraid they have been targeted by China...

Awakened by another nightmare, the man sat up and vaguely heard a sound.

He stood up, put on his coat, and after hesitating, walked towards Chi Ming's room.

Chi Ming was indeed still awake. She had always been a night owl.

Hearing the man's intention, Chi Ming sneered: "Are you too cautious?"

The man said, "But I really heard some noise."

Chi Ming pointed at his nose and said, "I promise you, there are only three of us here, no fourth person."

The man knew Chi Ming's ability, so even if she said it was not true, the man could only believe it.

He sighed, "I'm worried that the police will find us sooner or later."

"So what if we find them? We've already run away. We've already planned our departure route. We only need to take the two children with us and leave the rest behind."

The man took out a cigarette from his pocket and complained, "I really don't know what he's thinking. He insists on making us stay in Changxia. It would be much better to go back to Longxinggang. Who would dare to control us over there? There are too many rules in Changxia."

Chi Ming rolled his eyes at him. "We are a legitimate country, and you have been corrupted. Didn't people say that it's not so strange that China has an orphanage? And these children are all Chinese. You opened an orphanage in Ninglan Country specifically for Chinese children. Isn't this telling the world that you have ulterior motives?"

"That's true."

The smell of cigarettes drifted towards Chi Ming, who said in disgust, "Stop smoking, it stinks."

The man couldn't beat Chi Ming, so he had to put out his cigarette, "I think I really heard a sound."

The two of them fell silent. The night in Changxia City was quiet. In the distance was the outline of a high mountain, shrouded in silver moonlight.

Chi Ming sneered: "My nose will never be wrong. I say it again, no one."

*

Chi Zhao brought back some information and stored it in the safe.

As soon as he got in the car, Bian Bin drove away as fast as he could.

Chi Zhao was more nervous about completing the task than he was doing it himself.

Fang Xiaoman turned on the flashlight to illuminate Sang Baiyu.

Sang Baiyu and Chi Zhao sat in the back row looking at documents.

Chi Zhao glanced at Chi Xi and asked, "Should we get rid of him first?"

Chi Xi: "..."

His brother never treats him as a human being.

Sang Baiyu said: "He can't leave us now. He knows too much, and I still have to rely on him to do things."

Chi Zhao raised an eyebrow, "Doing business?"

Sang Baiyu did not hide it, "We have to call them to Changxia."

Chi Zhao asked: "Do you want to deal with him?"

Sang Baiyu did not answer. She opened the file, which contained physical examination information. The most detailed information was about Chi Ming and a woman.

The key points of the medical examination information are...

sense of smell.

Sang Baiyu murmured, "Could it be that the children they are looking for all have an exceptional sense of smell?"

Like her?

Chi Zhao did not answer. The bottles and jars he had just seen appeared in his mind. They were all used for experiments.

I don't know how they did the experiment...

Chi Ming's information starts from the age of seven, and she has been following them since she was seven years old.

The information about the other woman is not very complete. All the information is handwritten and very old. There is no name, only height, weight, age, etc. The focus of the research is also on sense of smell.

But some of the research projects are a bit scary, such as the brain.

Under what circumstances can a person's brain be studied?

There are no photos in either document.

Chi Zhao didn't look at the information at all, he looked absent-minded.

Sang Baiyu put the information away and asked Chi Zhao, "Did you find any other clues?"

Chi Zhao: "Hmm?"

"We are in a cooperative relationship now, you can't hide anything."

Chi Zhao laughed and said, "Where is the girl you rescued? Didn't you hide it, whether she's alive or dead?"

Sang Baiyu blurted out, "I didn't tell you, but you clearly knew. Wait, why do you know?"

Chi Zhao was stunned.

He calmly looked away to avoid contact with Sang Baiyu.

Sang Baiyu's eyes became more subtle, "So you..."

Chi Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Frankly speaking, this information should belong to my mother."

The height, weight, and age all match.

Chi Xi looked over in shock, "Didn't she... die of illness?"

He knew that his mother was not Chi Mingyuan's original wife, and he also knew that he and Chi Zhao had the same father but different mothers.

He also knew that Chi Zhao's mother died of illness. Everyone said so.

Chi Xi didn't know much about her, even Meng Jian didn't know much.

Chi Zhao said: "She is missing, not dead. Now it seems that she may have disappeared here."

Sang Baiyu hesitated and said, "Her sense of smell is very unusual, so... Chi Mingyuan brought her here for research? She has been... murdered?"

Chi Xi leaned against the car door, his breathing becoming heavier.

Everything around him seemed unfamiliar to him, including the people.

He seemed to not understand what they were saying, but also to understand it very well.

Chi Xi felt very uncomfortable, physically uncomfortable, and he couldn't breathe.

Chi Zhao said casually, "That should be the case. It seems that my goal should be changed from finding people to finding remains."

There was a moment of silence in the car.

Sang Baiyu remembered that he said he had been looking for his mother.

No wonder he was in a bad mood after coming back, it turned out he found it.

However, this research on the brain has already sentenced Jiang Yulin to death.

Sang Baiyu continued to look back.

The data also includes Xia Xia's, and the conclusion is failure.

Two other girls also received the red stamp of failure.

It seems that they were failures and died during the experiment, so their bodies were abandoned.

Chi Zhao was silent for a long time before reminding: "Let them do a detailed examination of the child, including whether there are any toxins in the body."

Fang Xiaoman asked: "What poison?"

"I saw a lot of chemical equipment and drugs in the shelter. They're probably looking for talented girls and trying to train them to be like Sang Baiyu. But so far, Chi Ming seems to be the only successful case."

Xia Xia suffered so much in the shelter that no one knew how much it had to endure.

What's even more tragic is that she had a very good impression of the shelter and liked the brothers and sisters very much. She had no idea that it was these brothers and sisters who harmed her.

Sang Baiyu asked in confusion, "Where did her injuries come from?"

Fang Xiaoman said: "We can only wait until she gets better and then ask her. But we must be careful of these people who might do something bad."

She looked at Chi Zhao deliberately.

Bian Bin muttered, "It's obvious that you are more like the bad guys..."

He dares to go anywhere, has all kinds of equipment, and still insists on claiming to be a good person.

What do the bad guys have? Just a car and two legs!

Chi Zhao said nothing more and closed his eyes to rest.

Sang Baiyu seemed to be lost in thought.

Chi Xi secretly looked at Chi Zhao.

He has always liked his brother. His classmates all have brothers and sisters, but none of them are as good as Chi Zhao.

He is smart and can do everything perfectly. Even though Chi Mingyuan is not that close to him, he will praise him over and over again.

Ning Lan's classmates all envied him.

It's a pity that Chi Zhao has always kept his distance from Chi Xi.

Chi Xi didn't understand at first. Even if they had the same father but different mothers, it shouldn't be like this, right? Meng Jian barely cared about Chi Zhao. They got along quite well.

Only now do we know that Chi Zhao's mother Jiang Yuling did not die of illness that year.

She was missing, kidnapped, and captured for research.

The person who killed Chi Zhao's mother is very likely...

Chi Xi didn't understand.

Chi Mingyuan and Jiang Yuling are husband and wife, why would he harm his wife?

What exactly happened back then?

Chi Xi felt like his brain was a mess.

He asked in a low voice: "Brother, did you know that Auntie was arrested a long time ago?"

Chi Zhao was silent for a long time before he closed his eyes and said "hmm".

"You know it was Dad who did it?"

Chi Zhao did not deny it.

Chi Xi's heart grew colder and colder, "So you... have always hated Dad?"

When the three of them were reunited as a family, was Chi Zhao looking for his mother?

Seeing the three of them happily gathered together, Chi Zhao would hate him too, right?

Fang Xiaoman turned around and looked at Sang Baiyu.

Sang Baiyu didn't say anything, so Fang Xiaoman also remained quiet.

Chi Zhao opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Bian Bin stepped on the accelerator hard, and the tall trees outside the window quickly retreated.

Chi Zhao's vision gradually blurred.

When he came out of the shelter, his eyesight wasn't very good and he had to rely on his memory to get around.

Suddenly someone grabbed his wrist.

Chi Zhao was startled and looked at the vague outline beside him.

Sang Baiyu asked, "Are you injured? Are you bleeding? Are you in a shelter?"

Chi Zhao said: "I have cleaned it up, there will be no trace left."

"You won't find anyone if you stay, so don't worry." Sang Baiyu found the medicine box and treated Chi Zhao's wound. She frowned and said, "You knew you were injured, but why didn't you treat it quickly? You're too old and not reliable at all."

Chi Zhao: "..."

A lot of age...

Chi Xi looked at the two of them silently.

Chi Zhao sat up straight, thought for a while, and decided that there were some things he should say to Chi Xi.

"Chi Xi, you don't have to think too much. You just need to take good care of Aunt Meng. Chi Mingyuan has lost his patience with her and asked me to take care of her a few years ago. Don't believe what Chi Mingyuan says."

Chi Xi looked at Chi Zhao blankly.

He only knew that his parents had a fight a few years ago.

Later, Meng Jian told him that she ran away because she was angry after a quarrel.

It turns out there are so many things he doesn't know.

Chi Xi hung his head dejectedly.

He couldn't understand what was so different about his family and why they were always scheming against each other.

Chi Zhao then said to Sang Baiyu, "Do you still remember He Li?"

Sang Baiyu nodded.

"I handled the vehicle that He Li used to transport the contraband weapons before he was killed. Chi Mingyuan planned to sell it to Changxia."

Sang Baiyu listened carefully.

Chi Zhao said: "Chi Xi can't be let go. Chi Mingyuan will know about your existence sooner or later, and he will be trapped. Chi Mingyuan will not give up trafficking in contraband weapons. His business in Ninglan has reached its peak, and sooner or later he will expand to Changxia. He is an ambitious man."

Sang Baiyu was thoughtful. "You mean, only business can lure him over here, but not Chi Xi?"

"No," Chi Zhao said, "I mean, these two things have to happen at the same time for him to come over."

Bian Bin was completely confused.

He quietly asked Fang Xiaoman, "What are they going to do?"

Fang Xiaoman crossed his legs and said disdainfully, "You are such an idiot."

Since he couldn't beat Fang Xiaoman, Bian Bin flattered him, "Just tell me, what are they talking about?"

Fang Xiaoman: "I don't care what they say. I just have to do what Xiaoyu says."

Bian Bin: “…”

It turns out she doesn't know either.

She is stupid too!
