The military never stopped its crackdown on the monsters in the city.
Since the order to shoot all infected people was issued yesterday, the police and special forces have all been patrolling the streets of Jiangshan City with their guns, breaking into residential buildings to eliminate monsters, and bringing warmth to every survivor they find. Doctors are called for the wounded, those who have nowhere to return are taken to military vehicles, and the rest are ordered to stay in their hiding places, waiting for the day when the city recovers from the devastation.
The monsters that dispersed outward from the safety zone were naturally the first to be wiped out. After one night, not even a single monster wandered into the safety zone within a radius of dozens of miles, and the high-voltage power grid had been turned off.
This has nothing to do with whether or not one has the spirit of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Firstly, many power stations have been destroyed after the virus outbreak, but they still have to provide power to the city. Once the consumption of the power grid is listed, it will be shocking for ordinary people. Secondly, all the manpower that can be mobilized has been mobilized to kill monsters. There is no one guarding around to worry about whether some curious people will try their hand at it.
There is a row of camphor trees planted inside the electric fence at Entrance No. 9, and the snow on them has not had time to melt yet.
Yu Zhiyi stood in front of the net and threw a caterpillar onto it. He did not smell the smell of burnt insect protein. After making sure that the electric fence was now safe, he put on gloves, grasped the net mouth, climbed to the top, and then jumped down lightly and landed among the camphor trees.
I raised my head, but my heart skipped a beat.
Shi Yu stood on a tree branch, his phone playing the previous interrogation video. Some snow fell on his head, and the melted water slightly wet his black hair: "Captain Yu."
Yu Zhiyi obviously didn't expect to see the person in front of him. He was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why are you here too?"
Shi Yu moved the phone away from her eyes: "Wait for you."
Yu Zhiyi smiled and said, "You are lucky. You have guessed all nine entrances and exits of the safe zone."
"It's not a guess."
"What?"
"Of the nine entrances, this is the one with the least guards. It's far from residential areas, and there's a camphor tree forest blocking the view. If you want to come in from the outside but don't want to be known, you can only climb over the power grid if you don't go through the regular reception entrance." Shi Yu looked at him, "The high-voltage power grid has been cut off. If you stay there for too long, you'll be easily discovered by passers-by. The fastest way is to climb up the grid and then use the camphor tree to buffer your descent. This entrance and this tree are the most convenient to use."
【Um? ? 】
[Master Meiren climbed up the tree and waited for him for a long time? ]
[What do you mean you came in but didn't want others to know? Why do you have to be sneaky and hide it from everyone when you enter a safe zone? ]
"But if I hadn't come back in a hurry, I wouldn't have taken a straight line to take a shortcut and ended up climbing over the electric fence." Yu Zhiyi's expression didn't change at all. He stood up on the tree branch and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go down first."
Shi Yu watched his movements and said, "Because this is a safe zone."
I paused slightly as I saluted.
"Once the safe zone falls, the entire Jiangshan City will be close to launching missiles." Shi Yu said softly, "And now all the military personnel who can be transferred have left. It's the best time to infect other people in the safe zone, so you sneaked back, right?"
Yu Zhiyi slowly turned his head and looked at him again, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes: "You still doubt me, even though Du Qian has confessed his crime?"
Shi Yu said nothing.
"I thought I had investigated it thoroughly enough before." Yu Zhiyi's tone was as if he was reasoning with a sulky child. "The witnesses include the blood transfusion laboratory staff, and the physical evidence is the bribe note. More importantly, didn't Du Qian admit it himself?"
He looked at the other person with amusement: "If you insist on doubting me, then why did Du Qian admit that he injected poisonous blood? You can't even explain this most basic thing..."
"Because he thought he had done it himself."
Yu Zhiyi paused for a moment.
"He did prepare a bribe note, and he did give it to the laboratory staff while blood was being drawn."
Shi Yu said calmly, "More importantly, he does have an immunodeficiency disease, which is a terminal illness. He missed the golden 72 hours of drug blocking, and therefore had the idea of revenge against society, and he has even taken action."
Yu Zhiyi was not in a hurry to leave, as if he wanted to hear what other shocking words he could say.
“But there are two big problems with this.”
Shi Yu whispered, "Zhu Yongqian once went to the blood collection and testing room because of you, and he swapped the blood for testing."
"I also said that I didn't expect him to do this." Yu Zhiyi finally spoke, "I was just worried that I would be framed, but I didn't want him to be involved, so I hoped that he could help me without knowing it."
"But Zhu Yongqian performed the blood transfusion because he heard the discussion between two medical staff members inside the testing room. The medical staff members said that they happened to hear someone coming outside, so they deliberately raised their voices in order to give the people outside the wrong information."
Shi Yu looked at him and said, "Let's not talk about whether the walls of the testing room are soundproof or not, and whether the sound can be transmitted smoothly. Zhu Yongqian chose to go to the testing room, and he should know that he would at least not alert others. Then why would the medical staff on the other side of the wall hear the footsteps?"
Yu Zhiyi said, "Maybe he forgot to avoid other people's sight because he was worried about me? After all, his temperament and personality are not as calm as Xiao Mao's."
"Then why did the medical staff inside deliberately raise their voices and give wrong information?"
Shi Yu asked, "If a normal person suddenly heard footsteps outside the testing room, wouldn't they think that other medical staff were coming? If they found that a colleague was coming, shouldn't they restrain themselves and pretend that they knew nothing and did nothing to avoid being discovered? Why did they do the opposite and raise their voices, preferring to expose themselves and throw the blame on Tao Jin?"
His voice was very light: "Or are they a group of people who have been working in the hospital for many years and can already tell whether a person is male or female, old or young just by the sound of footsteps?"
Yu Zhiyi's expression didn't change at all: "Didn't the medical staff do what the bribe note said?"
"I haven't seen the note, but I can guess that it probably didn't say that they should not allow anyone to get close to them during the blood transfusion, so that no matter who it was, they would immediately expose themselves and try to take the blame. At most, after they were exposed and taken to the interrogation room, the blame of instigating the incident would be put on Tao Jin."
Shi Yu asked calmly, "How did you know that the bribe note said to release false information if someone approached?"
I clasped my palms together in greeting.
Shi Yu seemed not to notice his unconscious action and changed the subject directly: "Second question, why do you insist on asking Zhu Yongqian to help you with the blood transfusion?"
This question was easy to answer, but Yu Zhiyi still paused for a moment before he said what he had said countless times: "I said that because I know him well enough, I can guess what he will do."
"Why don't you tell him exactly what happened?"
Shi Yu answered for him directly: "Because you don't want to involve him in this matter. If you really don't want to drag him into this, you should have said nothing from the beginning. If you are worried about being framed, is it difficult to find someone to pass a note to help with the blood exchange like a criminal? When you are interrogated afterwards, is it difficult to directly point out that someone has tampered with the blood and take another blood test? At worst, is it difficult to expose the other party on the spot and stop them from interacting with medical staff?"
"I can see that he didn't want to implicate you, because during the interrogation he kept emphasizing that it was his own idea to go to the blood test room, not your instigation. This puts you at the level of a completely unaware victim. But you found out that someone was communicating with the medical staff. First, you didn't see the note and didn't know that you were the scapegoat in this communication. Second, there were so many ways to expose it, why did you choose to ask your own team members for help?"
"Let's take a step back and say that you may not have considered any of the above. You simply trusted him so you asked him for help. Telling him everything and asking him to be careful and not to be discovered by others, isn't that more practical than letting him commit a crime without knowing it? You said you didn't want to implicate him. Don't you think that's contradictory?"
Yu Zhiyi's palms were sweaty.
Shi Yu looked at him and said, "I heard that your life weapon is a chain, which has the ability to control living things. Is that true?"
Yu Zhiyi's pupils shrank slightly and he said nothing.
He Wei told him this when they were discussing the crow's car crash.
Shi Yu waited for a while but the other party didn't speak, so he didn't ask any more questions: "Then I will assume that this information is correct. I don't know the specific effect of your life weapon, so I will judge it according to the simplest method. I can only issue a single order to the people who are in the same time and place as you. With this premise, change the way of thinking of this case."
"You know that the guards are looking for the murderer who injected the poisonous blood. During the second round of blood collection, they used props to order the medical staff to replace the blood. When the test results come out, Tao Jin will be your first line of defense."
"It was a pleasant surprise to find that Du Qian passed a note to the blood collector. You can use the same trick against him and wait for your team members to find you. Then deliberately lead him to the blood collection room for a blood exchange. If someone suspects that the blood tested is problematic, Zhu Yongqian will be your second line of defense."
"The medical staff deliberately made a noise in the testing room and said something like that, giving your team member Tao Jin the information to frame you. If you three cannot find any results in the first trial, you will definitely dig into the last suspect. I don't know if the note was manipulated by your props, but Du Qian will sooner or later be your third line of defense."
【I’ll go.】
【Where is this nesting doll? ? 】
Yu Zhiyi stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed and walked closer on the intertwined branches: "I admire your ability to justify yourself, but don't forget that in the second test, only Tao Jin had the new virus in his body. According to your logic, the second time was because of my arrangement, then what about the first and third times? The first time we all had immunodeficiency virus in our blood, and the third time we even had guards monitoring the whole process, but the results showed that there was no new virus in our blood."
His voice was almost gentle. "Or do you think that I am not only capable of setting up such a scheme, but also capable of directly changing the blood composition of the other two people remotely? Looking at the Divine Realm, I'm afraid there is no such heaven-defying prop."
Shi Yu suddenly fell silent.
"I have a more reasonable explanation." Yu Zhiyi raised his hand and placed it on the phone in his palm, then slowly moved it down. "It is impossible to exchange blood during the time when the guards monitored the whole process, so the result of the last test is true. Neither me nor Tao Jin is the murderer you are looking for. Tao Jin is the first line of defense, Da Zhu is the second, and I am the third. We have all been used, and Du Qian is the one who manipulates everything behind the scenes."
Shi Yu looked at him and said, "Who said that we can't exchange blood when someone is watching us?"
"Are you trying to say that I was controlled by my own weapon again?" Yu Zhiyi laughed. "Well, according to what you said, there is no surveillance in the laboratory, so they can exchange secretly, and then what? Why is it that in the end there is no virus in the blood of either of us?"
He surrendered and said, "It's true that my tool has this ability, but let's not talk about whether I have used it or not. Even if I have used it and exchanged blood, wouldn't at least one person's blood be carrying the new virus?"
Shi Yu: "They used opaque glass bottles to draw blood."
Yu Zhiyi didn't understand why he suddenly brought this up: "So what?"
"In other words, whether blood was drawn or not, and how much blood was drawn, no one knows except the person who did it and the person involved."
Yu Zhiyi's eyes suddenly showed ripples.
"The first time, your blood was tested positive for immunodeficiency virus because the blood used was Du Qian's. The third time, there was no TG7788 virus in your blood because the blood used was Tao Jin's. The blood was drawn three times, and each of you should have three needle holes on your arm. Only you knew that the third test would be monitored by guards, so you asked the medical staff to inject some of Tao Jin's blood into your blood collection glass bottle during the blood collection process, so that you would not have your blood drawn again."
Shi Yu said softly: "If I'm not mistaken, there should only be two needle holes on your arm."
Suddenly, a breeze blew in the air, and the leaves fluttered.
Shi Yu leaned against the tree trunk, his throat itching badly. He suppressed his cough and added, "If someone else drew their own blood to inject the people in the safe zone, they might choose the most convenient arm. The three needle holes combined can really fool people. But since you have arranged so many lines of defense for yourself, you probably wouldn't choose such a conspicuous position as the arm."
For a long, long time.
Yu Zhiyi laughed softly: "I really didn't expect that in the end it was my own vigilance that made you convict me."
【Grass. 】
[I was shocked.]
[What is this called? A single mistake in a hundred precautions? ]
[It's actually quite thorough. If it weren't for the needle hole and the lack of evidence, this would be a perfect crime.]
Shi Yu had just heard the other party admit it, and before he could say anything, the black shadow in his peripheral vision was faster, and it had already smashed down in his direction before the other party finished speaking.
[?! Are they going to fight right now?!]
[Wait... this development doesn't seem right? ]
Before he was hit and fell uncontrollably from the tree, a hand quickly grabbed his collar, as if grabbing a shaky dead leaf.
Yu Zhiyi sat on the tree branch and retracted the attacking chain: "No wonder you came to me alone, and you were not even prepared when I attacked."
Shi Yu's body was suspended in the shadows of the trees, with the sound of whistling wind in his ears. The light and shadow that seemed particularly brilliant in the cold weather were cut into pieces by the branches and leaves, and were vaguely cast on his eyelashes.
Yu Zhiyi exerted a little force and easily pulled him back to the tree. He held his body with one hand and scanned the blood-red spots inch by inch with his lowered eyes: "So you and I are the same kind of people."
