Chapter 270 The Hidden Person
Qiao Yu was stunned when he heard this, "Research?"
Professor Kang saw Qiao Yu's alert face and waved his hand helplessly, "I won't hurt him."
“Not all research requires open-heart surgery.”
"Although after the apocalypse, many devices are affected by magnetic field interference and are not usable most of the time, the institute has some anti-interference technology. Occasionally, when the magnetic field interference is small, it can still operate normally."
"It's just a simple scan. It won't have any effect on the body."
Professor Shen added with a faint smile.
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and a hint of realization crossed his face.
If it was just a scan, she thought it was acceptable.
Qiao Yu looked at Jiang Zhan inquiringly, and after receiving Jiang Zhan's tacit approval, he nodded, "That's no problem. After we return to the base, if necessary, we can be scanned at any time."
Upon hearing this, Professor Kang and Professor Shen's expressions of excitement became even more obvious.
"By the way, Professor Kang, Professor Shen." Qiao Yu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Were you two familiar with Chu Yi before?"
When Professor Kang and Professor Shen heard Qiao Yu mention this traitor, a trace of resentment appeared on their faces.
"Not too familiar with him, I've only heard Old Xie mention him a few times." Professor Kang snorted coldly, "It's a pity that Old Xie thought so highly of him, yet he actually betrayed us like this!"
Professor Shen also shook his head. "I'm not very familiar with it either. We usually stay within the research institute and don't have much contact with people from the military region."
"But I did hear before that the reason he came to the survivor base in City G was because he was rescued by Commander Xie."
Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Commander Xie saved him?"
"Yes." Professor Shen nodded. "Chu Yi was rescued by Commander Xie during a mission. Commander Xie saw that he was alone and helpless, and felt very pitiful. But fortunately, he had good special abilities and was a useful person, so Commander Xie asked him if he wanted to come back to the base. Chu Yi agreed."
Alone...
Qiao Yu's expression darkened again.
If this is the case, then there are two possibilities for Chu Yi.
One possibility is that he was bribed before entering the base, and his so-called "chance encounter" and "accident" with Xie Ping'an was a completely premeditated scam.
Another possibility is that Chu Yi and Xie Ping'an's meeting was really just a coincidence, but he found his former relative in the base, and this person was the one who brought him into the game.
After all, considering Chu Yi's bloodiness just now when he blew himself up, Qiao Yu believed that he would not do something "ungrateful" if no one had instigated him.
Although the results of these two situations are the same, their essence is very different.
If it is the former, then the person who is still in the base is most likely not a big threat.
But if it's the latter... then the threat posed by this person cannot be underestimated...
Qiao Yu clenched his fists in annoyance.
The problem now is that they must find Chu Yi's "uncle" as soon as possible to find out how he entered the base and what position he holds now.
However, Chu Yi's self-explosion almost cut off all the clues, and searching like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Before Qiao Yu could think for long, he looked up and saw Cheng Sinian also got on the car.
Cheng Sinian's face was a little serious. As soon as he came up, he said to Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu, "Brother Zhan, Qiao Yu, can you please have a moment with me?"
Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu knew it was serious business when they saw his expression, so they took Cheng Sinian to their bedroom.
Seeing Cheng Sinian like this, Jiang Zhan knew that what he was going to say must not be convenient for others to hear, so he set up a mental barrier directly in the bedroom.
"What happened?" Qiao Yu asked in confusion.
"I just handed Chu Yi's body to Achuan and asked him to embalm it. Then we discovered a problem."
"What's the problem?"
Cheng Sinian whispered, "There's someone else who went to look for Huayue's mother."
When they suspected Chu Yi of betrayal, they had discussed that the man who went to the base to look for Hua Yue's mother was most likely Chu Yi.
But now it seems that it is not the case.
Qiao Yu pursed his lips, frowning slightly, "Why do you say that?"
"Because Chu Yi's shoe size doesn't match that half shoe print."
In order to conduct better research, Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan also retrieved Chu Yi's broken legs.
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Sinian and Yu Qingchuan paid special attention to Chu Yi's shoe size.
Cheng Sinian paused and continued, "Achuan and I later reconstructed that half shoe print and found that it belonged to a pair of shoes between sizes 41 and 42."
"But Chu Yi's foot is size 45."
The man who went to look for Huayue's biological mother might have used many disguises, and the shoes might not be his exact size.
But when it comes to shoe sizes, you can either go bigger or smaller.
Especially for shoes like military boots, the surface material is hard and it is more difficult to wear a small size.
With Chu Yi's feet, even if he could fit into them, he wouldn't be able to walk normally.
Qiao Yu pursed her lips, and suddenly the word "uncle" that Chu Yi called out before he blew himself up appeared in her ears again.
"Chu Yi has relatives in the base."
"Huh?" Cheng Sinian frowned. "I hadn't heard of it when Ah Chuan was investigating before."
Qiao Yu nodded, "I haven't heard of it."
"But before Chu Yi blew himself up, he subconsciously called out 'Uncle'."
"Uncle?" Cheng Sinian repeated slowly, "What were his original words?"
"Uncle, run." Qiao Yu pursed her lips. "That's all I said."
Cheng Sinian crossed his arms and lowered his eyelashes slightly, "It seems that Chu Yi and his 'uncle' really have a deep relationship..."
Even though he was tortured like that, he still wanted to protect this person. This only shows that their relationship is really good.
"But since he's 'younger uncle', the age difference shouldn't be too big, right?" Cheng Sinian guessed slowly.
Generally speaking, if you are dealing with an elder whom you respect very much or who is much older than you, you would call him "uncle" very respectfully, right?
"That's not necessarily true." Qiao Yu sighed softly, "It's just a title. It has nothing to do with age."
Things like seniority are difficult to talk about.
Cheng Sinian smacked his lips. "Then how do we find this person?"
"With Chu Yi's death, doesn't that mean all the clues are gone?"
Qiao Yu touched his chin and said, "After returning to the base, we will announce Chu Yi's death and hold a simple memorial service for Chu Yi. Then we will see if we can find any clues."
Cheng Sinian nodded silently. Fine, we'll have to wait until we get back to base.
