Chi Mu took the bowl from Yang Qu and responded with a smile.
A ray of sunlight came in from the window and shone on Chi Mu's face. Yang Qu subconsciously reached out to touch Chi Mu's face, but finally retracted his hand.
"Eat it quickly. I'll just pay you back for the egg fried rice I made last night."
Yang Qu turned his head and withdrew his gaze.
Chi Mu smiled slightly but said nothing.
"How's your investigation going? I heard you went to Deep Space Gaming Company this morning."
"I still have no clue. We don't know much information right now."
Chi Mu replied in a flat tone.
It’s not that he didn’t believe Yang Qu, it’s mainly because Chi Mu had a vague guess about Rule 3.
【3: You are always safest where no one is watching. 】
The "attention" mentioned in the rules is most likely not human visual attention, but the "attention" of electronic devices.
"Well, don't be too tired. At least here, you have an easier time than before, and there is no tight time limit."
Afterwards, Yang Qu and Chi Mu sat at the dining table and ate in silence, with almost no communication.
Yang Qu's change in attitude made Chi Mu even more certain that his guess was absolutely correct.
——"Something's not right. Qu Mei usually likes talking to Mu Shen very much. Why does she seem so cold now?"
——"Could it be because Chi Mu is becoming dull and Yang Qu is disheartened?"
——"Of course not. Yang Qu is a bug-like existence. She must know the truth of the entire copy. Due to restrictions, she deliberately did not say more."
......
Just when the two were about to finish their meal, Ji Sheng finally brought Jing Rui to Chi Mu's home.
Jingrui's face was full of reluctance, especially when he saw Chi Mu and Yang Qu sitting together for dinner, his expression became even uglier.
"I've brought the person to you. Ask whatever you want. By the way, according to information provided by various countries, the death toll of scientists has hit a new high in the past few hours. The number of people..."
When it came to the number of people, Ji Sheng's voice stopped abruptly.
Chi Mu felt a little surprised. Ji Sheng had always been a person with few emotional fluctuations. Why did he hesitate when the number of people was mentioned?
"How many people are there?"
"The number of people... 1,752."
"hiss......"
When Chi Mu heard this number, he gasped in shock.
It's only been a few hours, and the number of people has grown to such a terrifying level?!
"You may need to speed up the investigation and make the truth known as soon as possible.
Now the death rate has spread to the security department, and many senior officials have died in accidents and suicides. "
Ji Sheng's expression changed slightly. It was obvious that he had just received this news after returning to the headquarters.
"Okay... Yang Qu, you and Ji Sheng go out first. I want to talk to Jing Rui alone."
"Well, this is your lunch medicine, remember to take it later."
Yang Qu took out a capsule from his bag, the same one that Ji Sheng gave to Chi Mu in the morning. This time, Chi Mu didn't hesitate at all and just took it and swallowed it.
In the world of ghost stories, Chi Mu trusts Yang Qu unconditionally.
Yang Qu was also very moved by Chi Mu's behavior. She smiled at Chi Mu, and then left with Ji Sheng.
At this time, Jingrui and he were the only ones left in Chi Mu's home.
"Murderer, don't even think about getting anything out of me. I would rather break the laws of Country Z than tell you a word!"
Jingrui still looked gritting his teeth when facing Chi Mu.
Chi Mu did not have much emotional fluctuations about this.
He took a sip of water and slowly looked at Jingrui.
"There is no grudge between us, so you don't have to treat me like this. I know you admire Jiang Qiao, and Jiang Qiao often mentions you to me.
I just want to know from you about a project that Jiang Qiao was working on with Deep Space Game Company before he committed suicide.
I think you are the person who knows the most about this project besides Jiang Qiao himself."
Chi Mu learned from the information that Jiang Qiao and Deep Space Game Company had three cooperative research projects.
They are respectively,
Mass production and research and development of 'deep space' materials, improvement of the technological background of 'digital home', and digital self-evolution model.
Chi Mu knew the first two items, and it seemed that there was no connection between the two.
But Chi Mu never understood the last item.
It was not until he had a brief exchange with the "Jiang Qiao" in Jiang Qiao's computer that Chi Mu connected the third research project with what Jiang Qiao said.
Is the 'evolution' mentioned by "Jiang Qiao" related to this 'digital self-evolution model'?
"I'm very interested in Professor Jiang Qiao's research, so it's normal for me to know more than you outsiders, but I won't tell you.
Teacher Jiang Qiao definitely didn't commit suicide, he must have killed him because of you, you were jealous of his talent!"
Chi Mu burst out laughing.
He felt that Jingrui was definitely mentally ill.
Jiang Qiao is Chi Mu's best friend. What reason does Chi Mu have to kill Jiang Qiao?
[4: You can completely trust Jingrui, because he is the person who admires Jiang Qiao the most. Remember, please find a reasonable way to communicate with him.]
In view of this rule, Chi Mu plans to communicate with Jingrui patiently.
In fact, it is very simple for Chi Mu to understand the 'digital self-evolution model', and he can find out through the information provided by the Security Department.
But now Chi Mu has figured out the true meaning of the rule [3: You are always safest where no one is watching.], so it is no longer safe to bother the Security Department with the information they have obtained from the investigation.
If the truth is as Chi Mu guessed, then the information he obtained must have been tampered with.
But there is one thing that can never be tampered with, and that is Jingrui's memory and the information he orally uttered.
"Jingrui, I can guarantee with my personal integrity that Jiang Qiao committed suicide and it was definitely not me who did it.
I am also trying my best to find out the reason why Jiang Qiao committed suicide, and I hope you can cooperate with me."
After a pause, Chi Mu's expression became extremely serious.
"I can tell you responsibly that the relic Jiang Qiao left me is not just that piece of white paper, there is also a second relic!"
Jingrui was startled: "What is it?"
"The second relic is you, Jingrui!"
