Wandering eyes fell on the photo, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Lao Yu felt a little guilty because he made up the last few sentences. He was afraid that the wandering would ask whether it was true or false. A lie always had to be rounded up in ten sentences. If there were too many explanations, it would inevitably reveal flaws.
His nephew is too smart, and Lao Yu is worried that he will be punctured on the spot.
The embarrassment is small, he is afraid that you will be sad.
Who knew that Youhuo did not ask.
He just looked away from the photo and nodded.
After a while, he raised his eyes and asked Lao Yu: "You just said that she realized the problem with the project? Someone realized the problem at that time. Why does the project continue?"
Lao Yu was completely stunned: "You... that's what you're asking?"
Youhuo gave a "um" and said in a low voice, "Did she tell you the reason?"
Lao Yu blinked his eyes, dumbfounded for a long time.
Yu Wen couldn't stand it any longer, so he gently arched him. Then he regained his senses, shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say the reason. After she passed away, I lost the last contact with the project. After all, that level of confidentiality was not within my reach. I listened to her at the time. Then, I thought the project was about to stop. It wasn't until you were brought in again that I found out that they were still working on it."
"Then there shouldn't be many people who discovered the problem at the beginning." You Huo said.
"why?"
You Huo said calmly: "There are so many people, there are always a few more sober."
Lao Yu opened his mouth and found that there was no way to refute this.
"Maybe... Maybe she's the only one who found out." Lao Yu had to follow his words.
"More than that, there should be two." You Huo said again.
Lao Yu felt that he might not have a brain: "Who else?"
Youyou pointed to the focal spot in the middle of the photo and said, "This."
When a project goes wrong, the people below find it, and the leader cannot be unaware.
And this project can continue, there must be his push. If he did not contribute, the problem could not have been hidden for so many years.
Lee said that this man killed them.
That should be what it means.
So, for what reason did they not want to terminate the project
Wu Li interjected: "Some people who do research work have invested too much effort and time, and they don't want to stop. It can be understood that the cost is too high, let alone such a large project. When I was writing my doctoral thesis, If something goes wrong in the middle of the experiment, you will be a little negative, thinking that it's okay, you don't want to overthrow and start over, or you can just fool around. Of course, it's only temporary, and it's time to start again in the end..."
Miss Wu said calmly and bluntly: "It may be impolite to say this, but people who choose to let go when they have a problem are not worthy of being called a researcher here."
You Huo answered lightly, "It's the same everywhere."
What should be said has been said, no matter whether it is Lao Yu or Wu Li, no more information can be provided for the time being.
The minute hand of the wall clock has turned more than once, and the scheduled departure time is approaching.
You Huo picked up the photo on the coffee table and put it back in Lee's wallet without much nostalgia.
Qin Qiu got up and straightened his clothes, and reached out to him.
You Huo used his strength to stand up, but he didn't let go of his hand.
If it was before, Lao Yu would definitely feel dazzling when he saw this scene. But today is different.
He watched the two go out one after the other, and he felt that it was good, and he was very fortunate.
Just when Lao Yu was in a trance, Youhuo stepped out of the door and suddenly stopped.
Holding the door frame, he turned to Lao Yu and said, "Thank you."
Lao Yu was stunned.
He met the wandering gaze, and in an instant, there was a "hum" in his mind.
He got it!
Old thinking.
He knew that I didn't tell the whole truth, and that I made up some words to comfort him. He knows it all...
The next second, You Huo was no longer at the door.
Through the open door, Lao Yu could hear footsteps and whispers in the corridor. He heard the two people go deep into the corridor, opened a door and slammed shut, leaving the room silent.
Lao Yu suddenly wanted to say to the man who had been dead for many years:
Miss, do you see it? You won't feel bad for this child back then, and he won't feel sad because of you now.
Things in this world are actually fair.

There was no fog in Brandon Town late at night, and the outlines of houses became much clearer.
A group of people quietly walked down the street along the shadows.
"This is the best time to come out." Di Li's voice was like a whisper, "The visibility is much higher than during the day, and there are street lights—"
Before he could finish speaking, the street lights on the corner of the street flickered in poor contact, making a squeak.
"Although the street lights are haunted." Di Li paused for a while and continued: "Anyway, we can illuminate ten meters and twenty meters, so we don't even know about a group of mirror people coming towards us."
Yu Wen said: "Friend, you are now surrounded by a group of mirror people."
Di Li: "..."
Oh, forgot.
They followed the night road very carefully. You Huo and Qin Jiu walked in the front with Lee. Chu Yue and Lao Yu grabbed the back of the crossbow hall. Yang Shu and Wu Li walked in the middle with Jonny and their three injured students. Wen Ye carried the bow, followed by Di Li.
In other words, Di Li and the others were indeed surrounded by mirror people, which was quite exciting to think about.
Qin Qiu took a look at the time on the phone and said to Lee, "We've been around this area for half an hour, are you sure there's a mirror nearby?"
Lee nodded. "Sure."
"Is your radar accurate?"
"Exactly."
Before leaving, Lee finally got rid of his "prisoner of war" status and joined forces with You Hu and Qin Qiu because he could perceive mirrors.
Lee said that the mirror people in the town are very sensitive to the presence of mirrors, as if they have a radar in their minds. If there is a mirror nearby, the mirror people can quickly find it.
This is probably the power of blood, after all, they are all "born" by mirrors.
But fooling them is not enough.
Maybe the way of "birth" is not formal, they are a bit different from the mirror people of the original ecology. They don't have the so-called mirror radar.
"You can't find that special mirror even with radar?" You Huo asked.
Lee said: "Didn't you say it? The mirror will change places, and it's random. For example, if I see one next to this wall today, and I pass by here tomorrow, the mirror may not be there, or the mirror may still be there, but it is already there. Not the way it used to be."
"In short, there are many uncertain factors. With radar, you must be prepared for a long battle. And there are always many of our kind near the mirror. Some of them are hungry and crazy, and they can't tell who is their own, and accidental injuries are common. So it's better to be vigilant."
As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of something flashing on the right, like someone's eyes.
He turned his head sharply, only to see a dried wild cat hanging beside the garbage bag in the corner, its fur frying, and its black eyes looked at him quietly.
"What's wrong?" Everyone was a little nervous.
"It's nothing, something is following." You Huo said.
Everyone: "???"
It's nothing
"What are all mirror people afraid of?" You Huan said in confusion.
The crowd murmured again, "Oh oh", "Conditioned reflex."
But it didn't take long for You Huo to catch a glimpse of a shadow.
Out of the corner of the eye, the shadow had a strange shape, with several sharp corners.
It was as if several candidates were there, each with a crossbow in their hands, and quietly pointed their heads here.
Youhuo was about to go over to take a look, when Lee suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, I found it, I'm sure, there is a mirror right here."
