Mo Yucheng and his group have arrived at the research institute. The research institute here is very secluded, and they don't know how those people are doing now.
The director was also heartbroken inside the research institute, wondering if the two had arrived safely.
He was desperate and grasping at straws, so he could only pray that they arrived safely. The research institute's hard work depended on the couple.
Lately, he feels like he's becoming neurotic, but he still insists on talking to everyone.
He used to be like that, but lately he seems even more aloof, and people are afraid to get close to him.
Nobody dared to mess with them; they would avoid the dean altogether. Lately, their efficiency had been low, and the data they calculated always seemed off.
Lately, everyone has been afraid to talk to each other. They're all doing their own thing, and if they make a mistake, they can just keep calculating. The competitive spirit that Shen Zhiming and his wife used to have is gone.
Everyone has been quite passive and lethargic lately, and the dean didn't stop them. He just wanted to take this opportunity to see who was behind it all. The research institute has been peaceful and stable all these years, so who is causing trouble inside?
The people above should be back by now. I'm just waiting for them to help me find out who is who.
I'm getting old, and those people can take advantage of me. I need to make some better plans for the future.
Mo Yucheng and his team had been staking out this place for a day, and nothing unusual had happened.
Today I noticed something was off with the people in the kitchen. They kept watching, but didn't dare go inside, afraid of alerting them.
The kitchen delivery people were locals, but they still didn't let go of the suspicious people and followed them to town. The person remained very calm throughout.
But they were very cautious on their way home, as if they were on guard against someone. They walked through five alleys and felt safe there before going to the alley where they had started.
Judging from the densely populated area, it really is a Tibetan place.
These people have been lurking here for who knows how many years, infiltrating step by step.
Once inside the house, they couldn't see what was happening inside. They chatted with people outside whenever they had free time. They didn't stay in Amin for long before leaving.
Song Yining clearly saw that another person came out; if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have been able to tell that it was the same person.
The man came out, went to the shopping area, and picked up the things he wanted to buy. The two exchanged subtle glances.
Something was going on here. They followed that person and entered the research institute with him. Mo Yucheng and his group also went into the institute's sewers.
They looked around and found that only the sewers were accessible, which would make it easier to conduct a secret inspection.
The sewers are very narrow, and years of rainwater have severely eroded them. Fortunately, it's not cold in the mountains right now.
The few thinner ones went inside first, and Xiao Li became their guide, going in with them.
The sewers smelled terrible. The people who went in endured the discomfort and slowly crawled in, smelling the stench and trying to suppress their nausea.
The group slowly crawled inside, their heads already throbbing from the fumes, but for the sake of the researchers inside, they hurried on.
Time passed slowly, and unsure if the people inside were safe, the four of them climbed inside. Once inside, they were all soaked and their skin had turned white.
Enduring the unpleasant smell, I took off their clothes and put on the clothes I had prepared beforehand.
The group hid in various corners, constantly monitoring the movements inside. Xiao Li had already contacted the dean and had the entire list of everyone inside reviewed.
They found out that the deliveryman came back every few days, but after seeing his actions after yesterday's shopping, they wondered if he was hiding something.
Today, they focused on checking who the person who delivered the vegetables had contacted, including the head chef and the cleaning lady in the kitchen. These people were either orphans or relatives of fallen soldiers.
They even sent people to check the hometowns of the families or orphans involved in the case, and surprisingly, they found some clues.
The aunt who washes vegetables has a twin sister who went missing when she was a child and has not been found all these years.
My aunt went to live with her husband after getting married, but good times don't last long. There was a famine in their hometown during those years, and everyone in the plane was gone. My aunt's husband also went on a mission, and they had no children.
Finally, after careful consideration, we found that our love was a good match and we had the opportunity to come here. We've been here for over a decade.
The twin sister went missing, and to confirm that she was safe, they even asked the director about her situation when she came to the base.
The dean also cooperated by recalling the events of that year. Although it was a long time ago, the memory of when the research institute was first established was still vivid.
The dean wrote down all the memories he could think of on paper, barely sleeping all night, and wrote a thick stack of papers.
That evening, Xiao Li and another soldier were looking through the memoirs written by the hospital director. They read that when the vegetable-washing aunt first arrived, she had been suffering from diarrhea and had to stay in the town hospital for a while before coming here.
Seeing this, they were all certain that the vegetable-washing lady was suspicious, so they focused their attention on her.
However, they still reviewed everything written by the dean and found that Researcher Tan, who was also sick at the same time, was hospitalized for a period of time due to acclimatization issues.
They are now watching everyone from the shadows, not letting any suspicious person slip by, and checking them all over.
Although it took a long time, through careful examination and covert observation, they screened and tracked suspicious individuals.
After several days of observation, they discovered that before each delivery person arrived, Researcher Tan would go back to find the vegetable-washing aunt.
They were certain that both of them were involved, so that night, while everyone was asleep, they locked them up and interrogated them.
