"Xiao Ming, what can I do for you?"
Gao Ang gestured for the Emperor to pour water for the visitor, while he himself crossed his legs and asked with a smile.
Xiao Ming, a square-faced man, is a robust man in his thirties with a buzz cut.
He's about 175cm tall, a very ordinary person, the kind of person who wouldn't get a second glance in a crowd.
To put it bluntly, he's just an ordinary person, as ordinary as can be.
But Gao Ang knew that this person was no ordinary person.
Although his eyes looked listless, the occasional glint of intelligence revealed that he was an extremely reserved person.
His muscles weren't particularly developed, but the power they contained was enough to easily take down four or five trained fighters.
Both hands have calluses on the base of the thumb; these hands must have been used to catch countless bullets.
And the smell of blood on his body made Gao Ang feel, even from several meters away, that this man was a true iron-blooded man who had fought his way out of hell.
"There's nothing to teach you, I'm just showing Mr. Gao something. The higher-ups mean that we should work together on this case."
Xiao Ming sat down with a smile, tossed the case file aside, and unceremoniously picked up his teacup and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
Gao Ang glanced at the teacup Xiao Ming was holding and sighed inwardly. He really was a man!
That tea was freshly boiled, it must have been at least 80 or 90 degrees Celsius, wouldn't it be too hot to drink?
"This is your business, what does it have to do with me?"
Having finally managed to get rid of the mess, why would we take it back?
"Mr. Gao's methods are unpredictable, especially his computer skills. Even our experts in the bureau are no match for you. And Mr. Gao, don't forget that only by finding the mastermind behind this can your suspicions be truly cleared."
Are you threatening or intimidating me?
Gao Ang narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt that this Xiao Ming classmate was not cute at all.
“That’s not what I meant. I’m just stating the facts,” Xiao Ming put down his empty teacup, crossed his hands, and placed them on his knees. “In our Social Affairs Bureau, we only care about the results, not the process. If it were someone else, I would have already started using methods, but Mr. Gao is a respectable person, so I won’t beat around the bush. The murderer who killed these three people is not you, Mr. Gao. Therefore, I hope to get Mr. Gao’s help to find the mastermind behind this.”
Gao Gao's expression darkened considerably when he heard the first half of the sentence, but it improved when Xiao Ming said he didn't think Gao Gao was the murderer.
When he heard Xiaoming asking him for help, he raised his eyebrows: Well, since you're asking me for help, I'll forgive you.
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about this question too,” Gao Ang said, leaning back on the sofa and stroking his thinning hair. “Why were these three people silenced?”
According to my information, they only monitored me, then tried to kidnap Xia Weiwei and Lillian, and that was the end of it.
Could it be that their activities abroad were exposed, and they were hunted down to China by their enemies?
Xiao Ming shook his head. "They couldn't be foreigners, and judging from the traces at the scene, these three people committed suicide."
"What? Suicide?"
Gao Yang jumped up in surprise.
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. "President Gao, stop pretending. I can tell it was suicide, can't you?"
"Ahem," Gao Ang also felt that his acting was a bit exaggerated, and awkwardly sat down again. "Um...yes, I also think it looks like suicide. Great minds think alike, hahaha!"
Xiao Ming didn't respond to him, but continued, "The forensic doctor extracted some abnormal substances from the remaining liquid. Mr. Gao, you can take a look. I heard you are also a medical expert, so you might make some discoveries."
As he spoke, Xiaoming handed over the forensic report from the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Ang Gao quickly got up, took the document, and then opened it to look through it. "There's nothing unusual about it. Strong acid dissolves it... There was no fourth person present... This can be considered suicide... As for the unusual substance you mentioned..."
When Gao Feng turned to a certain page, he was attracted by a certain molecular structure on it. "This molecular structure... is quite interesting."
"Right? Forensic experts have never seen this molecular structure before. It's neither a strong acid nor a strong base; it seems to be some kind of element..."
Chlorophyll!
"That's right, it's this thing, but how did this chlorophyll end up in their bodies? According to the forensic doctor's deduction, judging from its composition and state, this chlorophyll seems to have been present in the body of the deceased. In other words, this chlorophyll was present when the deceased was dissolved, rather than appearing after death."
Ang Gao did not respond, but was thinking about another question: How did these three people get involved with the Green Rabbit organization?
He and Qian Sui had initially concluded that their mastermind was likely connected to the Green Rabbit organization, as the codebooks they used were of a very similar type.
But why would the Green Rabbit organization want to silence them? They shouldn't have had any connection.
If it wasn't the Green Rabbit Organization, then the mastermind behind it used the Green Rabbit Organization's methods to silence these four people.
Why use the methods of the Green Rabbit organization?
To avoid suspicion, or for some other reason?
"If I remember correctly, there seemed to be a light source near that cave entrance, right?"
Gao Feng changed the subject and asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Let me see..." Xiaoming took out his phone, looked at the design drawings for a while, and then compared them with the location shown in the file before confirming, "That's right, there used to be a light source right at the entrance of the cave, but it's broken now..."
"Then that's it..."
Gao Feng, chin in hand, began to reconstruct the steps of the crime scene:
"For some reason, these three people were pulled to the reserved space and sneaked in when no one was paying attention;
Then, using chemical reagents, they disintegrated the prefabricated pipe walls of the tunnel and created a small space inside for self-understanding.
The space was very small, so the three of them went in one by one to get to know each other…
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoming felt a chill for some reason. "President Gao, isn't your idea... a bit too bizarre? Who can face death so calmly? Besides, all three of them have participated in modern warfare abroad; it's impossible for them to have no sense of resistance, right?"
"Don't worry, this is related to the chlorophyll in the forensic report;"
If I'm not mistaken, some kind of creature is controlling them, or rather, bewitching them;
I'm more inclined to believe it's some kind of organism, or plant; the damaged light source at the cave entrance is proof of that…”
Hearing this, Xiaoming was puzzled again, "Then maybe the light bulb just breaks occasionally?"
"No, no, no, you may not have noticed, but I did. There are signs of corrosion on the walls around the power source. If nothing unexpected happens, the circuitry inside has been damaged. You can arrange for someone to re-inspect the site. Let me continue. Don't interrupt me!"
Gao Ang glared at Xiao Ming, then took a sip of tea and continued, "Because the three of them need to enter that space one by one, the creatures or plants that control them need a certain energy supply."
These chlorophyll particles are the energy source for those unknown organisms. Photosynthesis is not only possible with sunlight; it is possible as long as there is light of a certain wavelength that allows chlorophyll to perform photosynthesis.
Coincidentally, most light bulbs and incandescent bulbs can meet this requirement;
After those unknown creatures psychedelic or controlled the three people, they made them understand themselves one by one;
In the end, they were also silenced by another external force…
Seeing that Xiaoming wanted to speak, Gao Ang glared at him again, "This last force, if nothing unexpected happens, should be a drone, or some other type of intelligent robot;
However, I prefer drones because they are readily available and easy to modify. For people with good hands-on skills, it is not difficult at all, and it is even less difficult for this highly intelligent criminal.
As for the chemical reagents used to dissolve corpses, that's even easier.
See, the outline is clear now, isn't it?
These things were certainly not fabricated by Gao Feng, but rather the result of his "observation" and guidance.
He discovered early on that his eyes had a function: temperature imaging.
He thought this feature was rather useless at the time because it had many limitations.
First, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature difference within a certain space is large, at least around 10°;
Secondly, the air in a space should ideally be stagnant or circulate very slowly, so that heat is not lost too quickly.
Of course, he can also see it in a short period of time. For example, now that Xiaoming has left his seat, Gao Ang can "see" his previous sitting posture and other related actions.
Similarly, drones consume electricity to operate, which causes the drone to heat up.
Needless to say, those three men were living, breathing men, with a body temperature of at least 36°C.
This semi-enclosed little hole is interesting. The air is practically non-circulating, and since it's below the water surface, there's a temperature difference between it and the other objects.
The same principle applies to the light source; after an electric current passes through the LED, it dissipates heat...
Zhang Xiaoming blinked, his square face showing utter bewilderment. "No, these are all your personal deductions?"
"Yes, based on the details, your forensic report, and the information I've gathered, this is the result."
"Wait a minute, let me repeat it. If there's anything wrong, please add it to me. I need to submit a report... Also, where did you get your information?"
"No comment!"
Gao Ang retorted directly, but after thinking about it, he realized he had gone a bit too far. He then pointed to his head and the standing robot Qian Sui, "On the internet, there's also my on-site investigation."
Xiao Ming, who was typing rapidly, glanced up and asked, "On-site investigation?"
"Yes, I went to the Sand Kingdom before and found a green rabbit there. Its chlorophyll content is exactly the same as the one in the report you gave me."
Under Gao’s guidance, Zhang Xiaoming completed his summary report.
Although several questions remain unresolved, such as the motive for the crime and the identity of the real culprit, at least we have some leads.
By employing the methods used in the crime and involving state machinery, it's likely that some clues can still be found.
Although Qian Sui's technology was already at its peak, Gao Feng and he still couldn't access certain information due to certain rules.
After Xiaoming left, Gao Ang sat alone on the sofa, lost in thought.
The Green Rabbit organization had been out of his sight for a long time, and he had almost forgotten that such an organization even existed.
"It seems I'll have to make another trip to the Saudi Arabian Peninsula."
All the clues point to the Sand Kingdom. To find out the real mastermind behind the Green Rabbit organization, the internet alone is far from enough.
Having made up his mind, Gao Ang quickly tidied himself up, changed into the thick clothes Lao Wan had bought for him, and took some sand coins with him before getting up and flying towards the direction of Novosibirsk in the Sand Kingdom.
When Gao Liang set foot on Novosibirsk soil, Qian Sui had already shared information about the area around the Marsky villa with him.
Recent unusual individuals and events, as well as Marski's communication records, etc.
In short, nothing unusual happened.
If there had been anything unusual, Chitose would have notified him long ago.
Based on their initial assumptions, Marski was likely just a peripheral figure.
He probably had no idea what the green rabbit was for, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to warn his underlings and let them so casually throw the dead green rabbit into the trash can, thus benefiting Gao Feng and his gang.
"Your Majesty, find someone from the Saudi Arabian Republic to book me a room. Remember, it has to be spacious and soundproof, the kind of room where you could throw a party inside and no one outside would notice, understand?"
"Understood, don't worry, sir!"
I glanced at the sky; it was almost dark.
A dark and windy night is the perfect time to get things done.
Marski's house wasn't hard to find. After a few teleports, Gao Ang floated 100 meters directly above Marski's house.
He then unleashed his full power and, in a freefall motion, crashed into the villa's roof.
Inside the villa, Marski was having a great time with his buddies.
The weather's been cold lately, and he's been too lazy to go out and collect protection money. Anyway, it won't matter if he's a few days late. Luckily, there are a few pretty young girls around, so he's gotten a little interested.
I don't know why, but the big boss seems to be quite happy lately, giving them much more money as gifts than before.
As a mid-to-senior level executive within the group, he received even more.
If it weren't for the cold weather, he would have gone out to sea long ago. Isn't a yacht party more exciting than a party in this villa?
His left hand was fiddling and pinching, while his right hand was holding the microphone and humming and hawing. Suddenly, the alarm went off!
"Waaaaah"
The piercing alarm blared throughout the entire villa in an instant.
Marski was initially a little confused, because this was something his boss had prepared for them.
They say it was obtained from somewhere and can even defend against missiles or something.
Of course, it only alerts them to any unusual objects that get close; it doesn't intercept them or anything like that.
In an instant, Marski remembered his boss's instructions: as soon as the alarm sounded, without saying a word, he should crawl into the fortifications first.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Without even notifying his underlings, Marski rolled onto the sofa and then dashed to the fireplace.
Just as his hand was about to touch the bronze warrior's greatsword by the fireplace, a loud bang came from above.
Then came a series of crackling sounds as things fell.
Dust and debris flew everywhere.
The girls were already trembling with fear, like bees whose hornet's nest had been disturbed, running around wildly.
Marski ignored them and started yelling at his underlings:
"Grab your weapons! Call for help!"
Although he didn't know what had happened, he was certain that someone was targeting him.
In Novosibirsk, someone actually dared to mess with him. He'd make sure these bastards were killed.
A group of henchmen, armed with weapons made in Saudi Arabia, opened fire on the hole in the roof.
Marski also took the opportunity to get up, took a rifle from the cabinet under the fireplace, and sprayed it into the hole.
Regardless of whether you can actually get the point across anyone, the important thing is to first establish your momentum and vent your anger.
Bullets flew everywhere, and the clanging sound filled the air. The already chaotic living room of the villa was instantly filled with gunpowder smoke.
"stop!"
Marski stopped his underlings, and, still not satisfied, blasted the hole twice more before peering out through the opening.
"That's weird, nothing fell down, so how did it smash a big hole in my house?"
Marski was baffled. "Did you see anything?"
"without."
"Boss, could it be..."
After one of the underlings finished speaking, he nervously looked around, his hand gripping the gun handle trembling slightly.
"You my foot! Who do we think we are? Why would we be afraid of those things?"
Marski slapped his underling across the face without hesitation, making him stagger.
"No, boss, there really is..."
"My God, what is this thing?"
The other henchmen, heads held high, stared blankly at what was behind Marski, forgetting to fire their weapons.
"Have you seen a ghost?"
Marski cursed under his breath, then smoothed his hair and turned around.
"I'd like to see which bastard dares to..."
But when he saw the thing in mid-air behind him, he couldn't help but swallow hard. "What the hell is that?"
