After the Marshal received the news and learned about the matter, he rushed to the sixth district immediately.
When he saw the two inclined ultrasonic tubes illuminated by the flashlight in Lin Si's hand, his face suddenly sank: "Check it out!"
If Seth hadn't applied for this potion, and if Linse's observation skills were a little duller—then the two oscillating tubes would not have been discovered at all, and the high-frequency sound waves might be excited at any time, meeting in front of the test tube and crushing it.
By then, the Berlin Virus was back and it was another disaster.
The marshal simply didn't know whether to question whether someone could move this level of laboratory equipment without anyone noticing, or to blame Lins for still keeping a sample of the Berlin virus.
"Until now, the Berlin virus was a genetic mutation with high scientific value, so I preserved it, just like the HeLa cells preserved in the previous laboratories on the earth." Lin Si replied to the marshal with a blank expression doubts.
"What HeLa cells?" The marshal asked irritably.
"A special cancer cell sample taken from a woman named HeLa that can multiply indefinitely," Lins replied, "directly laid the foundation for the entire modern genetics and virology. Some people think that we can find it from HeLa cells. A chance at immortality."
"Do you still want to use the Berlin virus to make human beings healthy forever?" The marshal seemed to have heard some big joke.
Lin Si did not continue the doomed fruitless debate with the marshal. He turned his head and looked at the two ultrasonic tubes: "From the time the ultrasonic feedback detection system was added here, only I can open this storage room."
The marshal pondered for a while, and said: "From the day the equipment was upgraded, call out all the monitors!"
A comprehensive and secretive screening began, five years of surveillance images, from the interior of the room to the corridor, were all brought out.
But all surveillance cameras are shot from top to bottom, and the ultrasonic tube on the ceiling is a blind spot.
The room was dimly lit, and only the shadows of people could be seen clearly, but it was enough.
All the pictures are captured by the intelligent system, and the pictures of people walking are extracted for detailed analysis.
But after going through all the videos, no one had a chance to touch the ultrasonic tube, and no one approached it at all.
"Has the monitoring been tampered with?" This was the marshal's first reaction.
"No one has this authority." Lin Si said.
"Hacker?" The marshal frowned. He didn't know much about these things, but he also knew that a super hacker could do many incredible things.
"I'll ask Tangning to check to see if the spacecraft system has been hacked," he said.
"There is another possibility." Lin Si frowned slightly, "There was a period of silence for monitoring."
The word "silence" is unreasonably scary in this context.
The Marshal frowned deeply: "When?"
"The black hole accident," Lin Si said slowly, "from the time the sixth area separated from the main body and the system failed, until Lucia took over the entire spaceship, it was a silence. After that, in order to save energy, we only left the first experiment The life support system in the room, the monitoring and security systems in other areas are also suspended, and the silence lasted longer this time."
After talking about this hypothesis, he added: "But at that time, besides me, there were only a few children on the spaceship who had not been thawed for a long time, and they had no motive."
The marshal nodded: "Aside from these two possibilities?"
Lins shook his head.
The marshal thought for a while: "Check the system first."
If after the investigation, the spacecraft's system has not received any third-party intrusion and the monitoring screen has not been modified, then the incident may have happened in the black hole accident three years ago.
In order to prevent a one in ten thousand possibility, the marshal sent a message to Tang Ning, asking him to check whether the entire system had been compromised in the past few years, and then sent the same message to two other programming professionals. personnel.
In this way, unless the entire Fifth District collectively rebels, the correct conclusion can be drawn.
Tangning's message arrived almost immediately: "Impossible."
Lin Si smiled helplessly.
Tangning was absolutely sure of her system. If someone said that the system had been hacked and no one was aware of it, it would be like questioning him.
The marshal saw that Lin Si was still in the mood to smile, and glared at him: "Now you are the most suspected one!"
Lins found a place to sit down, crossed his hands, and looked at the rows of dangerous reagents in the shadows.
None of them spoke, just thinking.
The marshal was right. Almost all the clues in this matter point to Lin Si.
If the monitoring had not been hacked, then it was almost certain that the incident happened during the black hole accident, during the silent period of the monitoring, and only Lins could open the door of the storage room.
If Lins hadn't discovered this matter today, he would have no way to refute it when the virus came back.
The marshal was obviously very aware of this, and asked, "What's so special about you?"
Lin Si was expressionless: "I'm good at taking the blame."
Marshal: "..."
"What happened to those previous accidents?" Lins asked.
Both Marshal and Mrs. Chen said that the spacecraft had several life-threatening accidents before, but fortunately they were resolved in time.
What happened to these accidents, Lin Si does not know, because he is the main suspect, any investigation is very secretive, and he will not be known.
And now, for some unknown reason, the marshal let go of some of his prejudices and began to communicate with him calmly.
This is the absurdity of the whole thing, because there is no evidence and clues, or even motives and reasons, you will never know whether the person standing in front of you has betrayed the spaceship, and you can only rely on subjective or intuitive judgments. Believe it or not.
"It's similar to this time, and there are no clues." The marshal sat down beside him. "The engine in the sixth district broke down once, and the nutrient solution in the second district was also mixed with chronic chemical poison once. And you happened to have been to the engine area before the failure, and that batch of nutrient solution used the genetically modified plant plan provided by the sixth area, in order not to waste the crops, the samples you provided were also added to the raw materials."
"The engine area is monitored," Lin Sidao, "and I don't believe that the second area can't do a good job of cleaning the raw materials."
"There is indeed no direct evidence, so you have not been arrested." The marshal said coldly, "But you are the only suspect we can find."
There are no clues, no evidence, and the whole thing has a weird atmosphere.
"I don't know what his purpose is. He wants to point the finger at me without causing me substantial harm... In fact, even if the virus breaks out this time, as long as I am not infected, the vaccine can be remade." Lin Si looked in the direction of the two ultrasonic tubes, "The spaceship's self-protection system is very strict, and it is difficult to destroy it in one fell swoop. Poisoning nutrients, causing engine failure, and viruses, that person may want to destroy the spaceship on the spaceship." Create an atmosphere of panic, cause gradual chaos, and finally find an opportunity ... He may have a sociopathic personality, and I think Adelaide can help analyze it."
"There is one other thing."
"Um?"
"Adelaide can indeed participate in the investigation, but everyone knows that you were very close roommates when you were students. Tang Ning claimed that the system has not been hacked, but he also has a close relationship with you. If we investigate the previous When the engine failed, Zheng Shu didn't find the problem, and you have been friends with him for many years. If you really rebelled, then you can form a camp, and you cover each other enough to erase any clues... Although you are very You rarely deal with people, but with only a few friends, you can control many things, and you are the only one on the spaceship who can do this for the time being.”
The marshal had already reached this point. Thinking about it this way, Lin Si was not only a suspect, but also the leader of a terrorist group.
"So?" Lin Si frowned and looked at the marshal: "You still don't believe me?"
"The question is not whether you believe it or not," the marshal said, "but if the mastermind is not you, then he is targeting you... What can he gain from targeting you?"
A long-lasting shield to divert attention
"I'm afraid he doesn't want me to go out with the expeditioner." Lin Sidao.
"I also don't agree with you going out," the marshal said. "If you are the mastermind behind the scenes, then you may leave the universe with the expeditioners and our precious resources forever."
Lin Si pressed the center of his eyebrows: "...Okay."
They said some more clues, but there was no clue, the whole thing had no beginning and no end, and only one result.
"No matter what, you shouldn't go out." The marshal's tone was very serious.
"If he uses me to divert his attention, then my staying here may facilitate his actions."
"That's right, so you can't continue your activities on the spaceship."
Lin Si waited silently in the darkness for the marshal's next words.
Finally, the marshal said: "Go to sleep."
The "sleep" in his mouth is naturally not an ordinary sleep, but a deep sleep in the ice coffin in the ninth district.
The room was very quiet, only the sound of breathing could be heard.
After a long time, Lin Si's bracelet lit up.
It was Ling Yi's message: "Lin Si, when are you coming back?"
The screen light illuminated Lin Si's face, and his fingers stopped on the light curtain, but he didn't touch it for a long time, as if he didn't know what to reply.
