Chapter 190 Rainbow Mice
The next day at work, Mu Mian entered the office holding a beautiful cardboard box.
"Mian Mian, who gave you the gift?" Chen Xue looked at the cardboard box curiously.
Mu Mian put the box in front of Chen Xue and said to her, "Chen Xue, open it and take a look. We will soon have a group of lovely little friends."
"Lovely little friends? Or a group?"
Chen Xue had an ominous premonition. She slowly opened the cardboard box, and when she saw what was inside, she immediately screamed loudly.
"Ah, Mu Mian, why do you want to bring a group of little white mice to work? I hate little white mice!"
The cardboard box contained a glass box with a few little white mice curled up inside, and they made a "squeak, squeak" sound.
"Chen Xue, you are studying medicine, how can you be afraid of little white mice?" Mu Mian carried the box to his desk to prevent the little white mice from being scared by Chen Xue.
Chen Xue crossed her arms and said, "I'm not afraid, I just hate all living rodents. If you let me dissect them, I will definitely have no problem."
Mu Mian picked up a little white mouse and placed it in his palm, "Chen Xue, take a look, this one is very cute. Don't worry, it is no longer aggressive now, it's a stupid mouse. Guess why it became stupid?"
"Unless it turns into a corpse, don't let them appear in front of me!"
Mu Mian said disappointedly, "Okay. Poor little guys, you were driven out by a beautiful forensic sister who hates little mice. Hey, I'm going to find a good place for you again." Chen
Xue felt that something was wrong, "Mu Mian, you don't want to keep them for a long time, do you? Why do you suddenly want to keep pets?"
"Of course, I adopted them, so I have to be responsible for them. But they are not pets, they are experiments."
Mu Mian went to Fang Rui's office with a cardboard box.
There were only Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang in the office.
They had initially ruled out the suspicion that Xiao Zhang was an undercover agent.
First, when the rat poison was taken back, Xiao Zhang was one of the few people who had not come into contact with it, so Xiao Zhang had no chance to steal the rat poison; second, when Chen Shu was interrogated, Xiao Zhang did not participate, and he had never come into contact with Chen Shu alone; the auxiliary reason was that Xiao Zhang had a good family background and was unlikely to be corrupted, and he was not smart and stable enough to be competent for undercover work.
Xiao Zhang lay on the glass, looking at the little mice walking through the maze, and asked in confusion: "Mu Mian, don't you hate small animals? Why do you raise a group of mice?"
"Officer Xiao Zhang, don't scare them. And I don't hate small animals." Mu Mian pulled Xiao Zhang away, "And don't call them mice, they have names."
"What are their names?" "
This one is Rainbow One, that one is Rainbow Two... and the last very smart little white mouse is called Rainbow Seven."
"What... do they have to do with rainbows?"
Chen Xue pointed to the top of the little white mice's heads, "Look at the color of the hair on their heads, and then look at them as a whole, and you can see the rainbow."
"…"
There are seven little white mice locked in a glass box, and each of them has their head dyed with colors, red, orange, green...purple, which together form a rainbow.
If you look closely, you will see that some of the mice have scars on their heads, as if their scalps have been cut open.
"I dyed their hair to cover the scars and make it easy to identify them."
"Why not call them Little Red, Little Orange, etc.? Aren't these names cuter?" Xiao Zhang asked.
"These names are too anthropomorphic. I'm afraid you will develop feelings for them, and then think that what I did to them was too cruel."
"Don't worry, it's impossible for us to develop feelings for a few little mice. But why do some of them look so sickly and not very smart?"
Mu Mian explained: "Rainbow One to West are mice with brain damage, and I removed part of their brain tissue... Rainbow One and Two are the control groups; Three and West are also the control groups.
Rainbow Five is a normal mouse, it is very ordinary; Rainbow Six is a mouse that is naturally stupid, because it has been trained many times, but still can't learn to walk through the maze; Rainbow Seven is a genius mouse, it can always quickly walk out of the unfamiliar maze and eat food."
Xiao Zhang looked at Mu Mian in a daze. Other people keep pets for fun, but why does Mu Mian seem like he is doing research?
Fang Rui asked: "You want to use them to test the effect of that drug?"
"Yes. I have sent this drug to a professional testing agency for analysis, but they don't know what this drug is used for. They even suspect it is a semi-finished product.
The clinical effect of the drug is more obvious in living bodies. It is difficult for me to infer from the bodies of the deceased what the drug is used for, so I decided to let these mice test the drug."
Xiao Zhang praised: "Mu Mian, if you don't become a forensic doctor, you will definitely be a good candidate for a scientist."
"I prefer to be a forensic doctor because I can come into contact with many corpses. My father said that it is difficult to be a scientist. To be a good scientist, you need to have a lot of experimental funds first, and then you need to have a smart brain."
"..."
Xiao Zhang pointed to the box, "Okay, we have finished visiting your rainbow mice, you can take them back to your office."
Mu Mian said nothing, just looked at Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang quietly.
"Mu Mian, you don't want to put them here, do you?"
"Can we? Chen Xue doesn't like them, she won't let me put them in my office."
Fang Rui said, "Okay!"
Xiao Zhang suggested, "Or put them in the conference room where there's more space, better air, and quieter."
"But there's no one watching them, I'm afraid they'll get hurt."
Xiao Zhang said speechlessly, "They're hiding in a glass box, how can they get hurt? Will they be choked to death by eating too much? Or will they get beaten to death in a group fight?"
"Officer Xiao Zhang, you've thought it through so well. Some of these mice are very smart, and some are very stupid. If they're locked up together, the stupid mice will be bullied, and they may not even get food. I should allocate living space and food for them."
"...Be careful!"
Mu Mian quickly used cardboard to divide the space inside into seven parts, allowing each little white mouse to stay comfortably in an independent space.
Mu Mian finally decided to place the mice on a small table at the back of the conference room. Fang Rui helped her move the glass box over.
There was no one in the conference room, and Mu Mian whispered to Fang Rui: "These mice are not used for drug testing. The mice for drug testing are placed in my home."
"Do you want to use these mice as bait to lure out the undercover?" Fang Rui asked.
Mu Mian nodded and said, "The undercover agent definitely doesn't want us to know the efficacy of the drug, so he will most likely target these innocent mice. I have installed a pinhole camera on the glass box, and there is also a camera at the door of this conference room. If that person wants to kill these mice, he will definitely be captured by the camera."
"Mu Mian, very good, you can use conspiracies and tricks now?"
Mu Mian corrected, "This is a smart strategy, it's called waiting for the rabbit to come, no, it's called a willing victim, no, what is it called..."
"It should be luring someone into a trap."
Mu Mian looked at the mice, and she said to Fang Rui, "They also have names. This one is called Neon No. 1, this one is called Neon No. 2... The smartest one is called Neon No. 7."
"Well, we will remember them."
Mu Mian whispered to them, "If you are murdered, I will definitely avenge you. I will also remember you."
The little white mice ate with a crunching sound, not sure if it was a response to Mu Mian.
