Chapter 154 We must catch him as soon as possible!

After the matter of the giant octopus was settled, Shen Linglan slept for twenty hours.

After the automatic cash register was completed, she was fully restored to her full vitality. Just when she was about to devote herself to her graduation thesis, people from the Bureau of Unnatural Events Research came to her door.

After the Lantern Festival, Lu Shaohua went to the laboratory and asked Zhang Shengnan about the results of the material research that he had given her last time.

Zhang Shengnan said the results were out, but she still needed to ask Shen Linglan for the specific details.

That's how Lu Shaohua found Shen Linglan's residence.

It was the first time that Shen Linglan's villa welcomed guests. She sat in the living room and personally made a cup of hot tea for Lu Shaohua. The tea she used was the expensive Pu'er tea which cost more than 700 yuan per ounce.

The tea is brewed with boiled spring water and the aroma of tea fills your nose.

After Shen Linglan poured a cup of tea for Lu Shaohua, she spoke first: "Brother Lu, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

Shen Linglan has always been polite to Lu Shaohua. When he entered the villa area, the security guard called her. When she heard that the visitor was Lu Shaohua, Shen Linglan directly asked the security guard to let him in.

"It's pretty good. Your place is quite nice." Lu Shaohua said, looking around the decoration in the living room.

White walls, simple and exquisite screens, a famous painting on the wall, and a group photo on the other side.

There are two girls in the photo. One is the young Shen Linglan, wearing a simple white T-shirt and smiling brightly. Lu Shaohua doesn't know the other girl, but it is not difficult to see that the two have a close relationship and a very good relationship.

"Who is that?" Lu Shaohua asked.

Shen Linglan looked over, her tone somewhat nostalgic, "That's my best friend, Zhao Yunduo."

"Does she live with you?"

"No." Shen Linglan lowered her eyes and said calmly, "She passed away last year."

"Sorry." Lu Shaohua retracted his gaze and no longer looked at the photo.

In his consciousness, Zhao Yunduo was eating cold okra while muttering, "Shen Linglan, your best friend is gone, why don't you cry right away?"

Shen Linglan: "I'm sorry, my best friend is on my mind, so I can't cry at all."

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua did not doubt this matter, and did not want to waste too much time on irrelevant topics, so he went straight to the point and asked Shen Linglan, "Professor Zhang said that the results of the substance I gave her to study are out?"

"Yes." Shen Linglan said.

"Why didn't Professor Zhang just speak directly, and instead asked me to come and ask you?"

This puzzled Lu Shaohua.

But Shen Linglan stood up and took out two reports from the cabinet in the living room - as if she had known that Lu Shaohua would come and had already prepared the reports.

"This one is the result of research by Professor Zhang's team."

Lu Shaohua picked it up and took a look, and found that the results were almost the same as the first time he asked professionals to conduct research, except that Zhang Shengnan's research was more detailed.

After he finished reading it, Shen Linglan handed another report to Lu Shaohua.

"I guess you don't know this one."

Lu Shaohua took the report and glanced at it twice, then his brows wrinkled. The more he read, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

Until the last page of the report, it was written that there was a complex causal relationship between the two reports, and part of the substances in the second report originated from this one.

Lu Shaohua read it over and over again, and confirmed that he was not mistaken, then asked Shen Linglan: "What is this report?"

"Last year, no, it was the year before last. There was a major food poisoning incident in the neighborhood south of the university town."

Shen Linglan handed him a newspaper and read, "The news said at the time that there was a malfunction in the tap water filtration system, causing microorganisms to attach to food and water sources and be consumed by students."

Lu Shaohua had heard about this incident, but at that time the police were responsible for investigating it, and they had no right to intervene. Of course, Lu Shaohua had just returned to China and was just a small employee, so he could not intervene in major matters, although he also smelled something unusual at the time.

"So, it was poisoning at the time, not a filtration system failure as reported in the news," said Lu Shaohua.

Although newspapers and facts are different, he also knows that appeasing the people is sometimes more important than the facts.

After all, if the people are mentally fragile and know that someone has poisoned the food, they will definitely panic. If this incident is reported by foreign media, it will smear the domestic situation.

"Yes." Shen Linglan confirmed what he said.

His expression suddenly became serious after receiving Shen Linglan's answer.

In addition, Shen Linglan showed him a laboratory report that was seized by the police at that time, and the contents of the report made Lu Shaohua shudder.

"That is to say, the person who actually developed the virus at that time has not been caught yet. And..." Lu Shaohua took a breath of cool air, "The abnormal substance I detected in the sewer of B University last time was very similar to the substance used for poisoning the year before last."

Shen Linglan nodded.

This is also what Zhang Shengnan told her.

What Shen Linglan did not tell Lu Shaohua was that not only were these two substances related, but even in Zhao Yunduo's world, the polluted water and the bacteria in the seafood all belonged to the same bacterial community.

The relationship between the four is roughly that A evolves into B, B evolves into C, and C evolves into D.

In short, the root of everything was the poisoning incident in University Town two years ago.

Shen Linglan said: "I suspect that person has been lurking in the south campus of the university. Maybe you went to University B to investigate several times last time and alarmed him, so he has not made any moves in the past few months."

"But," Shen Linglan said with certainty, "he must still be nearby."

Lu Shaohua stood up instantly, "If that's the case - we have to catch him as soon as possible!"

"He is very cunning and dangerous." Shen Linglan shook her head and said, "Rather than catching him, it is more important not to make a fuss. The fact that he was able to poison tens of thousands of students shows that he has no regard for life and is an antisocial personality."

This calmed Lu Shaohua down a lot. He sat down again, drank a cup of hot tea, and asked Shen Linglan, "Do you have any solution?"
