Chapter 185 The Sky Falls (20) (1st update + 2nd update + 1400 Thunder 3rd update) [VIP]
"But now that I think about it, the person I met that day looked quite familiar..." The junior's roommate said, "If I saw him, I would definitely recognize him."
"Okay, thank you." As Ren Zhiling thanked him, she saw that the exploration team members outside the camera had gathered together.
"I remember that the extremist organization only issued a warning to the conference participants at first, and then issued a death threat to the main experts attending the conference, right?" Ning Xiao frowned, "They were not heading towards Ren Zhiling at first."
"I remember... at first we thought the target of the attack was Xi Enze. During the meeting, Xi Enze was attacked, and the researcher behind Ren Zhiling was also affected," Lu Changfeng said as he recalled. "At that time, only the information about the foreign researcher being injured was leaked, and those extremist organizations were still vying for responsibility."
Not to mention that they went after Ren Zhiling at the beginning, they probably didn't even know who Ren Zhiling was.
"If the person seen by this junior's roommate on the day of the concert hall attack was a member of the extremist organization who was walking with Liu Yi who came to attack..." Xu Zichen thought thoughtfully, "Then it can only mean that something happened between the first day of the meeting when Ren Zhiling was attacked and the third day when Ren Zhiling gave a speech, which led to the change of the extremist organization's goal."
"What extremist organization?" Ren Zhiling hung up the video call, let out a long breath and looked at the exploration team members.
"On the first day of the conference," Bai Jinshu explained, "extremist organizations abroad issued a warning to the conference, demanding that it be cancelled. After being rejected, they issued death threats to the main experts attending the conference on social media."
"I know that," Ren Zhiling nodded, "You went abroad with us for the safety of the participants."
"Well," Xu Zichen rubbed his chin, "So if there is anyone who can walk with Liu YiC who wants to kill you, it can only be someone from this extremist organization."
But this extremist organization... isn't it a foreign organization?
Ren Zhiling: "Liu Yi C?"
"Oh," Xu Zichen realized, "Liu Yi appears in a different future every day, so we sorted them into ABCDEFG according to the order of appearance, so that we can distinguish them during discussion."
"Liu Yi C... is the one who tried to attack me in the concert hall that day, right?" Ren Zhiling confirmed.
"Yes, Liu Yi D came to stop us that day," he turned to look at Ren Zhiling, "Does your university have surveillance cameras? Although the surveillance cameras can't see faces clearly, maybe we can see who Liu Yi C was walking with."
"Yes, there is," Ren Zhiling thought for a while, "but I'm not sure I can ask the security department to adjust the surveillance... After all, I've graduated for a long time, and I have to talk to the teacher about this matter. Besides, the location that the junior roommate mentioned is a corridor with trees on both sides, with many blind spots, so it may not be possible."
"We don't need you, Song Jirou can do it." Bai Jinshu said.
As an official, it only takes a word for Song Jirou to adjust the surveillance.
"Song..." Lu Changfeng subconsciously wanted to say, Brother Xu and Brother Ye, weren't you trying to contact Song Jirou in the group chat before but couldn't get through?
How to find her?
"But the problem now is that I suspect Liu YiC didn't leave any surveillance at all." Xu Zichen spoke even faster.
Bai Jin said: "Yes, on the first day you were attacked, there was no surveillance of Liu Yi A in the meeting place. Liu Yi B appeared in the airport in full view of the public, and no photos or videos were uploaded on social media afterwards. The Liu Yi who went back to the past may have a technical means to interfere with electronic devices, or they are not from this era so they will not be captured by the camera."
Xu Zichen pondered for a moment: "Anyway, let's try to transfer them first. This extremist organization had been abroad before the meeting started. How could they suddenly come to China and enter the campus of University A? This is a big problem."
Everyone nodded.
"We are in this hotel," Yin Liantao pointed inside the hotel as he walked downstairs, "Are you going to stay at home tonight or stay in the hotel with us?"
"The hotel," Ren Zhiling thought for a moment, "I'll go see my parents tomorrow morning."
Ren Zhiling went to the front desk to check in. Bai Jinshu glanced at his watch: "It's half past seven."
Song Jirou hasn't sent any message yet.
Looking at the last lonely message in the temporary group chat, Xu Zichen lowered his head and added another one: [@松寄柔, if you don’t reply to the message before 8 o’clock, we will come to find you. ]
I don’t know what kind of problem Song Jirou encountered. Although her life is not in danger, she hasn’t replied to messages.
Her range of activities is nothing more than Xi Enze's range of activities, which is limited to his residence, his laboratory, and the campus of University A where he attends classes. If there are problems in these places, it can only be related to Liu Yi, or to the extremist organization that may exist in the country.
【Did something happen to Song Jirou? 】
[Could it be that he met Liu Yi? ]
[Don't say you didn't see Liu Yi's attack. If you were hit by it, you would have died on the spot.]
[That shouldn't be the case. She is still in the temporary group chat. If she dies, her name will be grayed out.]
[Is it inconvenient for her to reply? Or is it because she doesn’t have her watch with her?]
[It is possible that he was injured but not fatal? ]
…
There were a lot of guesses from investors on the bullet screen, and Lu Changfeng came over a little anxiously: "Brother Ye, should we go look for Song Jirou?"
Although she did not appear to be dead, it is very possible that her communications were controlled or she was forced to lose the Foundation's combat watch.
You should know that the contact terminal combat watch issued by the foundation to the exploration team members is just a sports watch that looks like it has many functions. It is naturally concealed. Moreover, compared with communication tools such as mobile phones, the watch is tied to the wrist and is less likely to be lost.
Normally, no exploration team member would take off their watch on their own initiative during a project.
"If she still doesn't come by eight o'clock, the three of us will go find her," Xu Zichen stood up from the front desk lounge and looked outside. "You should be ready for treatment at any time."
Lu Changfeng nodded: "I understand."
Here, when both of them were ready for emergency treatment, Song Jirou, who had been missing for a whole day, finally appeared in the temporary group chat.
Song Jirou: [What's wrong? I'm fine.]
Song Jirou: [I followed Xi Enze to the research lab today. Our communication tools were taken away when we entered the special area, and we were not allowed to wear watches, so I took them off. I saw the message when I came out.]
Her timely appearance made Lu Changfeng, who was facing a formidable enemy, relax immediately.
However, Song Jirou's next sentence quickly raised everyone's concerns: [Something big happened to Xi Enze.]
Xu Zichen raised his head and looked at Ye Dian.
They deliberately hid the information that Xi Enze was a key figure from other exploration team members and Ren Zhiling in order not to reveal any flaws in front of Liu Yi and make him reveal more information every day.
Song Jirou and Ye Dian had a private connection via social software, so she could have chosen to only tell Ye Dian about it. However, Song Jirou now mentioned it in the group, which clearly showed that she was not going to hide it from the other exploration team members. The fact that she could make such a judgment could only mean that something big had indeed happened to Xi Enze.
A very serious matter.
Ning Xiao reacted quickly: [Xi Enze? What happened to him? ]
Yin Liantao's message followed closely: [Liu Yi also appeared on Xi Enze's side? ]
Song Jirou: [No, it was Xi Enze's research that suddenly had a terrifying breakthrough.]
Song Jirou: [This research is currently in the scientific research confidentiality period. All people who know the relevant situation have signed a confidentiality agreement. All social software is under monitoring and project-related information cannot be disclosed to the outside. So what I am going to say next, you cannot mention it on any social software in this world, and you cannot disclose it to anyone other than the exploration team members. ]
No wonder.
No wonder Song Jirou talked about this matter in the group instead of chatting with Ye Dian privately.
Because if she wants to pass on this information now, she can only use the foundation's temporary group chat. This group chat is installed on the foundation's terminal and has nothing to do with the communication system in the unknown space from beginning to end, so it will naturally not be discovered.
Xu Zichen: [You say.]
The thing that made Song Jirou say it was a “big deal” must be an important clue related to the rules.
Song Jirou: [Xi Enze has been conducting a research project. The terminology they use is very professional, and I can’t find any relevant information, so I didn’t know what the research was about. I only knew that he was trying to extract or synthesize a certain element. It wasn’t until today that the research was successful that I realized that he had been researching a brand new element that could quickly ripen all living things.]
Lu Changfeng: [Rapid ripening? How fast? ]
Song Jirou: [Of course it can't happen in the blink of an eye, but this thing can shorten the growth period of plants, directly leading to crops that originally could be harvested three or two times a year to be harvested dozens of times a year. Although it is still in the experimental stage, they are testing whether the crops ripened by this method will have side effects on the human body, but you should be able to imagine that once this element is proven to be mass-produced, and can be mass-produced at a low enough price.]
Then the sensation it will bring to the whole world will be huge.
If the world's poverty problem can be completely solved, the whole world will undergo great changes.
No wonder Song Jirou said this was a “big deal”.
If crops can be harvested dozens of times a year, the supply and demand relationship in the entire society will be reset, the food problem that has plagued the entire world will be solved directly and painlessly, and at the same time, the arable land problem and other issues that arise at the same time will be solved and alleviated.
Just by thinking about it, one can imagine that the future world after the appearance of this element will be a Garden of Eden visible to the naked eye.
Investors on the barrage couldn’t help themselves:
[Isn't this thing an invention that transcends the times? ]
[The development of productivity determines social relations. Once this thing appears, if the price is low enough, it can eliminate all poverty in the world.]
[Although I don’t understand it, I think this thing is awesome. ]
[That's more than just awesome. Once this thing is really put into use, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Xi Enze is the savior, right? ]
【It will really be the Garden of Eden by then. 】
And this future is visibly familiar.
Bai Jinshu curled his lips and said, "This is the future that Liu YiG described."
So he was waiting here.
Song Jirou said that the news is still within the scientific research confidentiality period. Although they don’t know how long the scientific research confidentiality period is generally, they can understand that this confidentiality period definitely cannot be as short as just a dozen days. In other words, before they leave, the news will not be known to the public.
"If Song Jirou wasn't with Xi Enze, we would never know this information before we left," Xu Zichen whispered, "and even if someone here is with Xi Enze, without the Foundation's temporary group chat to pass on the information, their social software within the confidentiality agreement is monitored, and they can't pass this information to us."
If it weren't for the foundation, this news would never have been brought out by Song Jirou.
He hissed softly, "Liu YiG's summons was definitely planned from the beginning. He didn't appear in front of Ren Zhiling directly this time, probably to prepare for this."
"If there hadn't been a temporary group chat at the Songji Rouhe Foundation, we would have most likely never known this information. Ren Zhiling would not have learned about this research until after we left. The future that Liu Yi G described today was to plant a seed for Ren Zhiling, so that no matter whether she believed it or not, she would subconsciously think of the worst possible outcome after being exposed to this information."
But even if Ren Zhiling is repelled by this element...what can she, a former scientist who has already resigned and is not affiliated with this research field, do?
At this time, the remaining members of the exploration team also spoke up:
Ning Xiao: [If this thing can be mass-produced... wouldn't it be able to completely solve the world's poverty problem? ]
But what does this have to do with the rules?
Apart from Liu Yi G's message today, from today's perspective, this thing will definitely be of great benefit to the future with no harm at all.
Fu Yandong couldn't help but reply: [This is a good thing. ]
Song Jirou was silent for a moment: [I thought so at first. Once this element is mass-produced and put into use, it will solve most of the world's poverty problems, and many countries and people trapped in the quagmire will be saved. The research team must think so too, otherwise they would not do relevant research, but...]
but……
Song Jirou: [But during the experiment, everyone discovered that this element is more versatile than they imagined. ]
Bai Jinshu calmly said in the group: [It can ripen all living things, not just plants, right? ]
Song Jirou: […Yes.]
Song Jirou: [It can not only shorten the growth cycle of plants, but the scary thing is that it can also shorten the growth cycle of animals. Mice that originally took nine to twelve weeks to grow to adulthood now only need three weeks.]
"hiss……"
All members of the exploration team couldn't help but gasp.
It can ripen living things, but what about... humans?
What kind of person will mature without education and experience that can match the time?
This is definitely a more ethical issue.
[This thing will definitely not pass the Academic Ethics Committee...] Yin Liantao replied while shaking his head.
[It doesn't matter. Since this thing has been created, it can't be completely eliminated.] Ning Xiao murmured, [Not to mention that its effect is so tempting. From the perspective of maximizing resources, it can accelerate the maturation of humans, isn't that better?]
Once this thing flows out of the laboratory into the world, it will definitely continue despite repeated bans.
[And this element has already been created. Not wanting it to be spread doesn't mean the information will be kept secret in the research institute forever.] Xu Zichen replied, [Ordinary people can always be kept out of reach, but what about people other than ordinary people? If ripening humans is illegal and ethically controversial, then... what about ripening artificial humans?]
The group suddenly fell into a terrifying silence.
After a long while, Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows: [What do you think? ]
This is a question that requires almost no thought to answer.
Xi Enze is definitely related to the rules, and this element will definitely not stop in the laboratory. It will definitely open up a future beyond everyone's cognition.
[Hiss, it suddenly became terrifying.]
【What about Liu Yi? 】
【Liu Yi might have been forced to mature too.】
[It is not even known whether Liu Yi's thoughts were generated by himself. He may really be the mouthpiece of the organization behind him.]
…
In the temporary group chat, Song Jirou said: [This is what I call a "big deal." ]
As researchers, Xienze and his team are now just worried about this ethical issue. They could never have imagined that five hundred years later, this element would be widely used in artificial humans.
In this era when artificial embryo technology is still in its infancy, no one would go so far.
But for the exploration team members who have actually seen Liu Yi six or seven times, this future is almost within reach.
No matter how Xienze and the others try to avoid it, this element will definitely be abused.
Xu Zichen: […No wonder Liu Yi was so anxious today.]
Liu Yi's knowledge of the past might not be as comprehensive as they thought.
He was indeed anxious today, because he had never expected that this element that would affect the future would be created today.
From the subconscious reactions of the previous exploration team members, it can be found that within a period of time after this element was synthesized, people who discovered that it could also ripen animals would never release it to the outside world. The information would definitely be kept within the research institute.
Just like Song Jirou today, all those who know about it will be strictly controlled. Even if this element is put into use again later, history may not record the actual time of the element's synthesis, so people in the future may not know that the actual date of the element's official birth is today.
The time recorded in their history may be much later than this.
Therefore, when Liu YiG went back to the past, he did not expect that Xi Enze synthesized this element much earlier than they knew.
This is what led to Liu YiG’s special status today.
Song Jirou: [Liu Yi is anxious because of this? ]
[Yes,] Xu Zichen replied, [Today, Liu Yi used a unilateral communication method to transmit information to us through the computer, saying that in the future when Ren Zhiling is the network administrator, all people's consciousness is uploaded to the cloud, and people live comfortably in the cloud, and basic scientific development stagnates, which will lead to the collapse of the sky in 500 years, and all future people will be powerless.]
If they were confused about the message conveyed by Liu YiG's words before, then after hearing about the element researched by Xi Enze, the metaphor of this message became very obvious.
The "Garden of Eden" structure it refers to is likely from a future world that makes extensive use of such growth elements.
At this point, no matter what the future people had planned at the beginning, the actual time of the element's appearance definitely disrupted their plans. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so eager to lay the groundwork with Ren Zhiling. Then it would be meaningless to hide Xi Enze's specialness.
Xu Zichen rubbed the edge of his combat watch for a few times, and sent a message while speaking directly: [Xi Enze's research is definitely related to the fall of the sky. According to our previous inference, Liu Yi E and F's statements both drew on certain facts that actually happened in the future world. So Liu Yi E's story about a future world where a war for resources had occurred, and in the end the party represented by Ren Zhiling chose to compromise and hand over resources, was most likely fabricated based on the struggle for this element.]
[This means that if Liu Yi hadn't intervened, Ren Zhiling might have been in the same camp as Xi Enze in the future.] Song Jirou sent the message in segments.
Song Jirou: [Artificial embryo technology has already been developed. If the competition for resources results in Ren Zhiling being forced to hand over the elements, the worst outcome would be the proliferation of artificial humans.]
Song Jirou: [As humans who were created, they cannot enjoy the same rights as humans from the moment they are born, and are treated as objects to mature.]
From this perspective, it may not take more than ten or twenty years for a future man to be prepared to travel back to Liu Yi five hundred years ago. In the distant future, it may only take a few days to create a new artificial human from scratch.
Bai Jinshu quickly derived an equation in his mind: [Because of Song Jirou's fixed attributes, Xi Enze is the key figure in the rules of the sky falling. Then the element created by Xi Enze is the main cause of the sky falling. Then this element is likely to be abused in the future: to accelerate the maturation of artificial humans, which is also the important information that causes the sky to fall. ]
Based on this logic, the ultimate clue we can get is that it was the androids who caused the sky to fall.
[Was it Liu Yi himself who caused the disaster in the future world? ] Lu Changfeng, who finally caught on to some of the ideas, asked.
[It may not be Liu Yi, but it must be related to the android,] Xu Zichen concluded as he thought, [and there are only two clues about the android now.]
Song Jirou: [The first point is that the artificial embryo conference was strongly opposed by extremist organizations, and they issued death threats to the experts participating in the conference.]
Song Jirou: [By the way, regarding this extremist organization, I just received information when I left the lab. After their organizer was arrested, he said that stopping the research on artificial humans was to protect the world. He saw the future of the world through the oracle, and the world will be destroyed because of this absurd technology.]
Song Jirou: [But... when the organizers were arrested, they were gathering to... smoke tobacco, so their statements were all regarded as the nonsense of drug addicts. Many of the believers who were arrested were very well-known extreme religious figures. Their neighbors testified that they were crazy, so none of these testimonies were made public.]
Xu Zichen: [We can connect now...]
This extremist organization also saw the future through some means. In this future, they discovered that the disaster was caused by artificial humans. However, due to the lack of key clues, they did not know that Xienze was the key figure, nor could they deduce that the real cause of the disaster was actually the growth element studied by Xienze, so they interfered with the meeting on artificial embryos.
[At present, the only artificial human we have come into contact with is Liu Yi. According to Liu Yi himself, his cultivation used Ren Zhiling's genes.] Bai Jin said, [I still think that Liu Yi's statement that only people who existed in the past can return to the past is correct. From Liu Yi's perspective, if he lied in such a simple direction, then Ren Zhiling who met another Liu Yi the next day could easily overturn his statement, so this information must be correct, or the information that "the Liu Yi who came back must be Ren Zhiling's artificial human" cannot be wrong, otherwise it would be too easy to verify.]
At this point, all the clues seem to be connected into a line that is missing a key clue.
Xienze created the growth element, and the abuse of the element led to the proliferation of artificial humans. The proliferation of artificial humans is likely to lead to the destruction of the world.
Liu Yi was sent back in time to try to guide or interfere with his gene provider.
Xu Zichen: [I'll write a rule and give it a try.]
Xu Zichen opened the rules panel, organized his words, and tried to write: [Five hundred years from now, this world will experience a world disaster called Skyfall. This disaster is caused by the abuse of two technologies from five hundred years ago: artificial embryos and growth elements, which led to the proliferation of artificial humans.]
"Is it over?" Bai Jinshu tilted his head.
"No," Xu Zichen frowned, "Maybe there is an error, or we don't have enough information, and this rule is missing a key clue."
Barrage:
【What's wrong? 】
【I think this reasoning is correct.】
[If this logic is correct, then it is like this. If it is wrong, then the error can only be in the step of abusing the elements to lead to the artificial human. ]
[Only people care about this chain of reasoning. Does no one care that Ye Dian and Brother Xu Pi have done so much reasoning behind everyone's back? ]
[This is normal. This project is a form of witness protection + secret group. You will know it after watching it more. Sometimes the exploration team members will be restricted from exchanging information due to some special mechanisms.]
[In order not to reveal the truth to Liu Yi, the fewer people who know about it, the better.]
[So every time you do this kind of project, just empty your mind.jpg]
[So what key clue is missing? ]
[Ren Zhiling? ]
…
On the screen, Ning Xiao finally caught up with the three of them: [Could it be that the rule was not passed because, according to the current clues, Xi Enze is the important person. But these future people, or these Liu Yi, have never expressed anything to Xi Enze, but have always focused on Ren Zhiling. ]
Yin Liantao: [So five hundred years later...why do people in the future think that Ren Zhiling is the key task? Now it seems that the artificial embryo technology was not invented by Ren Zhiling, and the growth element was not synthesized by Ren Zhiling. If our speculation is correct, then Ren Zhiling cannot be said to be deeply related to the world disaster of Skyfall, but can only be said to have no relationship.]
Why are Liu Yi and others so persistent in wanting to take action against Ren Zhiling?
Although Ren Zhiling seems to be a smokescreen, Liu Yi and others' genes come from her. They always look for her, and even the change of career that leads to a different Liu Yi in the future is also caused by her.
Ren Zhiling is definitely not a simple smoke bomb, she must have a special role in the rules.
Song Jirou thought for a moment and said sincerely: [I don't know. It depends on the clues you have. I can only provide information about Xi Enze. I haven't had much contact with Ren Zhiling.]
She stayed with Xi Enze from the beginning.
[Why did Ren Zhiling's genes survive for five hundred years... and her parents are very controlling...] Bai Jinshu pressed his knuckles against his solar plexus, [Maybe she'll get the answer from her parents tomorrow about her specialness.]
[Song Jirou,] he typed, [Since you are in the research institute now, you can check what projects her parents have worked on. It is very likely that Ren Zhiling's specialness is related to her parents' research.]
Song Jirou: [Ok, I’ll send it to you tomorrow.]
[Oh, right,] she suddenly remembered, [you said before that Liu YiG was anxious because of the element Xi Enze researched?]
Xu Zichen: [Yes, Liu Yi is very abnormal today.]
Song Jirou: [This matter is related to Xi Enze's research. I feel something is wrong... Can you send a few people over here? I'm afraid Liu Yi will do something to Xi Enze.]
That's true.
Xu Zichen pondered for a moment, then looked up at all the exploration team members: "We are the ones who organized the business order for Song Jirou. In order to ensure Xi Enze's safety and Song Jirou's safety, Lu Changfeng and I will go to the research institute with Song Jirou, and Ye Dian will go with you tomorrow to continue investigating Ren Zhiling. Is this arrangement okay?"
There are three of them now. Lu Changfeng will definitely go as the nanny. It would be better for him and Ye Dian to have one go while the other stay. Considering that although it was said from the beginning that this project would have non-materialistic elements, they have not yet appeared, so Ye Dian is the more suitable candidate to contact Ren Zhiling's parents.
"I didn't." Ning Xiao, Fu Yandong, and Yin Liantao definitely had no objection.
"Okay," Bai Jinshu thought for a few seconds, "When you go to Song Jirou's place, be careful. Although we don't know whether Liu Yi and the people in the future have discovered that Xi Enze was the cause of the disaster, it's best to pay attention to Xi Enze's personal safety."
Xu Zichen nodded, lowered his head and said: [Lu Changfeng and I will go tomorrow. ]
Song Jirou: [I will send you the address later, and then find a temporary identity for you two.]
Xu Zichen: [Oh, right, there is also the surveillance footage from the day when University A was attacked. We need to check that as well.]
Song Jirou did not reply. She might have gone to prepare identities that would allow Xu Zichen and Lu Changfeng to enter the laboratory.
Xu Zichen thought for a moment and looked up and said, "Ren Zhiling is going home to see her parents tomorrow, so someone must be there, otherwise the information will be distorted in the retelling. But four people seems a bit too many."
He went home to see his parents, followed by four "friends", making it seem like they were going to a gang fight. It was really a bit too exaggerated.
"Two people will check the surveillance, and two people will follow Ren Zhiling," Bai Jinshu knocked on the table, "Ning Xiao and Fu Yandong will check the surveillance, and Yin Liantao and I will go home with him. Yin Liantao is a girl, so it will be easier to talk to her when the time comes."
The three of them nodded without any objection.
Since Ren Zhiling's specialness is not in herself, it must be in her parents. As Ye Dian, who was the first to start reasoning when no one else noticed the problem, it was reasonable for him to ask to go to Ren Zhiling's home to get more real-time information.
Yin Liantao is a girl, so it is easier for her to lower people's guard than for men. When she goes with Ye Dian, whether they pretend to be Ren Zhiling's best friend or colleague, they can weaken other people's guard better than two men.
"What if both of us are rejected tomorrow?" Yin Liantao asked worriedly, "Generally speaking, normal family conversations would not allow outsiders to be present, right?"
What's more, Ren Zhiling's father sounds like he has a bad temper, a strong desire for control, and is very concerned about his reputation. People with this kind of personality usually keep their word and would not tolerate any outsiders being present when he is talking to his daughter.
"Pinhole camera," Bai Jinshu raised his eyes, "If neither of us can get in, then we should first install a pinhole camera and a radio on Ren Zhiling's collar or buttons."
"When a person speaks, his expression, movements and tone are all important elements to assist in judgment," Bai Jinshu stood up from the sofa. "Since we have determined that there is something wrong with Ren Zhiling's parents, we must get first-hand information, otherwise this clue will never be pushed forward."
"And her parents' behavior after she left," Bai Jinshu paused for a moment and walked towards the hotel entrance. "Ren Zhiling would agree to put a pinhole camera on her collar, but she might not agree to install a camera in her parents' home."
"Tomorrow I will pretend to be a traitor or someone checking the electricity meter," he thought for a moment, "and go to his house to install a camera. After the miracles in the Foundation Mall are no longer used, they can be taken back."
"I'm going to buy a similar dress now."
"Tomorrow you will pretend to be her best friend. Ren Zhiling doesn't want to face her father alone, so she asked you to come along," Bai Jinshu said as they walked. "It doesn't matter what the excuse is. It doesn't matter whether you can get in or not, but if you can anger her father in advance through this action, people will be able to reveal more information when they are angry."
Yin Liantao followed him and nodded while taking notes.
"Then Brother Xu and I will go to the laboratory tonight. If Ren Zhiling asks about the two of us who had to return to the team due to some urgent matters, she shouldn't find it strange." Lu Changfeng picked up his coat from the stool next to him.
Fu Yandong and Ning Xiao tidied up the things on the table and returned to their room.
*
The next morning, Ren Zhiling asked about the missing Lu Changfeng and Xu Zichen. After receiving the information that they had returned to the team, she did not find it strange.
"So you mean you and I will go together, and the three of them will check the surveillance?" After returning home and making sure that her parents had returned home, Ren Zhiling turned to Yin Liantao for confirmation.
"Yes." Yin Liantao nodded.
"If there are outsiders around, my dad might not tell the truth," Ren Zhiling said tactfully, "He is... a person who values face very much."
According to Bai Jin's instructions yesterday, Yin Liantao told Ren Zhiling that the main purpose of her appearance was to arouse her father's anger so that he could blurt out more information that he would never say under normal circumstances. After that, Ren Zhiling readily agreed.
Early this morning, only Yin Liantao went home with Ren Zhiling. The other three left on the pretext of "going to Building A to check the surveillance." In fact, only Fu Yandong and Ning Xiao went to check the surveillance. Bai Jinshu went to the gas company's work clothes near the residential area of Ren Zhiling's parents, opened the message sent by Yin Liantao, and successfully found the house number added by Ren Zhiling's parents.
The whole act was put on. Ren Zhiling's parents' home was on the fourth floor. Bai Jinshu took a folder and started knocking on doors on the first floor to check the electricity meter.
When they knocked on her parents' door, it was quickly opened.
The person who opened the door was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman who claimed to be the family's cleaning lady and that the owner of the house was not at home at the moment.
Of course not at home. According to Ren Zhiling, both her parents were at work at that moment.
Bai Jinshu took out the folder in his hand and repeated what he had said before. The old residential building had poor sound insulation, and the sound of him knocking on the door and talking downstairs had already been heard by the residents upstairs.
He easily entered the door of Ren Zhiling's house.
The gas meters in old residential buildings are usually above the kitchen. When passing by the living room, Bai Jinshu tilted his head and saw an abrupt painting on the side of the corridor.
The home of Ren Zhiling's parents is a typical old-style residential building. The decoration inside is already old. The camera swept across it and no one noticed the furniture and decoration that flashed by in the camera.
