"He's an employee of Changsheng Biotechnology, I think. He's from Japan, and they hired him from abroad at a high salary."
Cao Kun casually replied, "I'll get myself some more orange juice with pulp."
"Specifically?"
Gao Ang also picked up a bite of food and casually continued to ask.
He had already looked up what Changsheng Bio-technology did online; it was a listed company in China engaged in vaccine research and development and production.
In recent years, due to increased capital openness, the scope of their involvement has gradually expanded, no longer limited to the vaccine industry. They are now involved in all sorts of things, including original drugs, generic drugs, and special drugs.
As a listed company, if it wants to maintain its stock price, the board of directors must be good at telling stories.
It's estimated that this Robert is one of these stories, but of course, these are just my own guesses.
He made this deduction based on information he found online.
"What specifics?" Cao Kun glanced at Gao Ang curiously, somewhat confused by the question.
"Is he some kind of mascot?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun understood what Gao Ang meant.
"No way, he's a psychology consultant at some lab, and a graduate of an Ivy League university. His salary is quite high, a month's salary is equivalent to ours for a year."
Cao Kun pursed his lips, feeling slightly a little uncomfortable.
"Psychological consultant?"
Gao Feng frowned and asked another question, as if he had found a clue.
"Yes, the two who died, the two who fought to the death, were both from the mountain country. It's just that they seemed to be involved in drug research or something, in the same department as Radish Head. Why are you asking about this?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Now that you mention it, I seem to remember a news story. Wasn't there some kind of 'longevity drug' that was popular a while ago? I think this company produced it, right?"
Gao Ang quickly changed the subject, diverting Cao Kun's suspicions.
"Oh, I've heard about that too. I think it's just a scam. There's no such thing as an elixir of immortality. It's just a fraud. But to be fair, that kind of medicine is ridiculously expensive. A bottle costs over ten thousand."
Gao Ang glanced at his senior brother speechlessly and said, "You don't believe me? Why don't you go and check the price?"
"You can't watch it just because you don't believe me? I can't afford a foldable phone, so I can't watch it?" Cao Kun shouted, starting to argue with Gao Ang.
Stubborn to the end, Gao Ang was too lazy to continue arguing about this topic, so he changed the subject.
Has the Wu Mei case been adjudicated?
"What kind of judgment is this? Presumption of innocence. There's no time, place, or tool for the crime, and she doesn't even know the method. When asked, she knows nothing. The lie detector can't detect anything wrong, and she keeps shouting 'innocent.' She's just being temporarily detained. I reckon she'll be released without charge in the end."
Cao Kun was also completely baffled; the entire case exuded an eerie atmosphere.
The woman reported herself missing, and a few days later, her flesh and tissue were found in a septic tank. Her storage room could be considered the primary location for the dismemberment, but there was absolutely no evidence.
"Senior brother, what do you say..."
Gao Feng hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should ask the question.
"What did you say?" Cao Kun was getting a little anxious when he didn't say anything more.
"It's nothing. I was going to say something, but I forgot what I was going to say. Let's eat."
Gao Ang made up a random excuse to cover up his embarrassment and quickly picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
After dinner, the two exchanged views on other matters, and Cao Kun then prepared to leave. However, before leaving, he kept reminding him to remember to read and review his books.
"Also, be careful when ordering takeout from the hotel."
After saying that, he winked at Gao Ang.
"???"
As Cao Kun's car drove away, Gao Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The purpose of inviting him to dinner today was to get some information out of him, and we've achieved most of that.
Why do I say "mostly"? Because part of it deviated from his original plan, thus diminishing some of his sense of accomplishment: that bag of review materials.
To his surprise, Robert's true identity was that of a psychology expert.
Gao Yang's guess was that since this guy was a psychology expert, he should be given a second opinion and assume that he knew hypnosis and used this ability to hypnotize Wu Mei into committing that crime.
However, there was no record of him in Wu Mei's case file, and none of the surveillance cameras around the neighborhood showed him.
And how do you explain the thumb ring thing?
"There must be some unknown secrets here, just like the mutation in my body."
Stroking his chin, Gao Ang fell into deep thought.
He was staying too far from Robert's hotel to keep a long-term watch on him.
It doesn't make sense if he went with them and booked a hotel room long-term.
He was caught by Xia Weiwei last time, and if there's a next time, he doesn't know what excuse he'll use to fob her off.
Most importantly, this unusual behavior is very likely to attract Robert's attention or increase his chances of being exposed.
A small-time streamer who doesn't focus on his live streams and instead travels from eastern to western Putian to rent a room, probably wouldn't be believed by anyone if he said he wasn't involved in any illegal activities.
"It's too difficult to be a law-abiding superhero."
Gao Feng had also considered kidnapping Robert without anyone noticing.
Find a remote, desolate place and subject him to the ten most brutal tortures of the Qing Dynasty. That should be enough to get him to talk and reveal the information you want.
But this approach is too... against the rules.
First of all, Robert is only a suspect; Gao himself is not sure about his method and motive.
Secondly, Gao Ang has neither law enforcement nor interrogation qualifications. If he did those things, it would constitute an infringement on the personal freedom of others, which is a serious illegal act.
Furthermore, he wasn't confident he could take Robert away unnoticed. Shanghai, after all, was practically covered in security cameras.
Moreover, the fugitive Lao Fang had also stayed there, so the surveillance cameras were more densely deployed than elsewhere as a last resort.
"How about we install a camera for him tonight?"
They quickly dismissed the idea because it would be very difficult to implement and the results might not be good.
Robert's room is facing the road, which means that even if he can hang it up, there's no guarantee that passersby won't see it.
Taking photos, adding videos and some text, and TikTok short videos were born.
He doesn't want to become an internet celebrity, and he certainly doesn't want to reveal his superhuman identity.
Moreover, as far as he knew, the hotel rooms were very clean and tidy, and there was no place to put cameras.
As for those pinhole cameras, forget about it. Where would an honest, unassuming streamer like me get my hands on such spy equipment?
"Sigh, I'm so used to being a law-abiding citizen that I feel like I'm failing even if I want to commit a crime."
Too lazy to think too much, Gao Ang greeted Xiao Hua and went back to his room.
I grabbed a can of iced cola, took a satisfying swig, and casually pulled a book from my senior's backpack. I sat on a chair on the balcony and began to read it intently under the bright sun.
Since it's about learning, we have to start from the smallest things.
While reading, he also tried to analyze the ingredients in cola.
It's a little sweet, so it definitely contains sugar; it makes you burp, so it definitely contains carbonic acid; it has a slightly bitter taste, like caffeine; and it also has a bit of a citric acid taste.
There are many other flavors, and Gao Feng has basically "recorded" them all, but he can't name the chemical or written names of those substances.
For example, it's like you meet someone on the street, remember their face, but don't know their name.
When you see him a second time, you'll say: Oh, I've seen you before.
But you wouldn't say your name is XX, because you don't know his name.
Similarly, Gao Feng is certain that if he tastes a similar flavor in another beverage, he can identify which one it is and how many similar substances it contains. However, if you ask him to name these substances and their components, he will say he doesn't know.
This is why he needs to learn and practice more.
He put away his books only when the sun had mostly set and the sunlight was no longer so intense.
There was no need to prepare dinner; those two women had probably eaten well outside. I just gave Xiaohua some food and let her play by herself. Gao Ang then logged into Steam.
It's not that he's become addicted to games again, but rather that he's discovered his new mutation ability—the ability to communicate with computer data—is particularly useful in the auto chess game.
He figured he could gradually develop and strengthen this ability through this game, and also make money through live streaming—a win-win situation.
The new season has only been going on for three or four days, and the official team has already released another version, adding the Priest synergy gameplay.
After the two priests take a certain amount of damage, they will be compensated with a leaf. Eating this leaf will randomly increase their health by 1-10 points.
Calling on Lao Wan, Gao Ang immediately started their spicier duo queue ranking mode.
Speaking of Lao Wan, this rich and beautiful woman, Gao Ang has always maintained a healthy relationship with her as a streamer and a fan.
He always refuses to meet up with fans or attend fan gatherings.
According to him, online relationships can only remain genuine within the online environment. If they involve reality, various unexpected events are likely to occur, thus shattering this beautiful bond.
Lao Wan is also a very discerning person. Although I have given him a lot of gifts, I have never made any excessive requests, such as: "The top streamer has always slept with the streamer."
"I just updated to a double priest build, so I've decided to go for an empty city strategy and see if I can survive to the top four by just eating trees."
After defeating three waves of small monsters, Gao Ang directly "asked" for a priest, sold all his other cards, and had exactly 10 coins in savings. He could earn 1 coin in interest next round.
"So what do you play? Elves? I play Beast Warrior."
Old Wan is also a violent person who enjoys inflicting blood on others, so she chose the Beast Warrior class.
"Elves are quick to develop, but too many people are playing them. Let's try a different playstyle, elemental magic."
Elemental Mage is also a good lineup. It can be formed with seven units. Six mages with a water elemental can basically lock in your health.
During the empty city period, Gao Ang looked at the lineups and reserved cards of other players one by one.
As expected, people are playing both the Elf and the Four Knights.
"Looks like you'll have to play Beast Warrior and I'll play Elemental Mage. The other teams have basically covered all the lineups."
"Hmm, but there seems to be a mage family as well. Can you beat them to it?"
"Hehe, what do you think..."
During the conversation, he was interrupted in his losing streak by another naked stock.
Since that's the case, we can only use two priests. If we win, we'll get an extra dollar as a victory bonus; if we lose, we'll see if we can get a leaf.
Because there are many empty cities, the game's pace of population growth is not fast.
It wasn't until the ninth wave that Gao Ang finally got his first leaf.
"Come on, let's see how many drops of blood there is. Let's have a guessing game: 8 or more drops of blood, can we or can't we? Let's begin!"
To make the live stream more interesting, he simply opened a betting pool.
"If it were any other live stream, I would definitely go all in without thinking, but unfortunately this is Ang Baye's live stream, and going all in would just mean giving away fish balls."
"9494, this disc can only fool new viewers."
"Oh my, a fool has taken the bait. Someone actually bought 'cannot.' I'm stunned."
"The bolder the person, the greater the harvest; take a gamble, and a bicycle can become a motorcycle; go all in!"
With the betting odds in place, the live chat became even more lively.
After defeating the monsters, Gao Ang still didn't search for cards and continued with two priests.
"Come on, now is the moment to witness a miracle."
I gently clicked the left mouse button on the leaf and found a small, inconspicuous sapling.
"Brothers, let's go!"
The moment Gao Ang placed the leaf on the sapling, he immediately immersed his mind in the computer's data stream.
