One day later, Chen Chen shook hands with the policeman in front of him and walked out of the police station.
Because he was the last person to see Zheng Jian, he was called by the police to take a transcript.
Chen Chen didn't hide anything else. He told the other party's original purpose of calling him and the guess he made.
But of course Chen Chen did not say that the other party's death was due to his use of hypnosis, but that the other party committed suicide out of fear of guilt.
Although the police were also surprised by the drama of the whole incident, Chen Chen had alibi.
Because when the other party jumped off the building, Chen Chen was no longer in Zheng Jian's office.
After that, the police used Chen Chen's speculation to dig out Zheng Jian's laboratory usage records from a few years ago, and then dug out the death case of Zheng Jian's ex-wife, and finally came up with a horrific case -
Three years ago, Zheng Jian used his ex-wife's somatic cells to induce cancer cells in the laboratory, and then injected the cancer cells into his ex-wife's body through an intravenous drip. Eventually, his ex-wife died of cancer.
However, this sensational case was eventually suppressed by the school authorities.
After all, this kind of thing has a huge impact on the school and even the entire education sector. It may even mislead the public and make them think that cancer is contagious, which can easily cause panic.
As for Chen Chen and the others who were the cause of this incident, they were personally visited by the principal and a group of professors.
"That's how the whole thing went."
Sitting in front of the microphone, Chen Chen looked shy, "Because he coveted the research results of the three of us, Professor Zheng warned me that if I didn't transfer the research results to him, he would make it impossible for the three of us to graduate..."
"Then what did you do then?" the principal asked quickly.
"At that time, I was filled with grief and anger. I saw the photo on his desk and learned from Xia Yin that the person in the photo was his ex-wife, so I came to my conclusion -"
Chen Chen solemnly said, "He was afraid of his ex-wife, so he kept the photo facing away from him intentionally or unintentionally. Why was he afraid of his ex-wife? I guessed that his ex-wife's death actually looked like a disease, but was actually a disease." murder!"
"What I didn't expect was that after I exposed his murderous crime, he burst into tears and knelt down to beg me not to expose it. As a good young man of the Earth Federation, of course I would not agree."
Chen Chen looked a little scared, "It's just that I didn't expect that after I left the office, before I could call the police, he would commit suicide out of fear of crime."
Opposite Chen Chen and the others, a group of professors looked at each other, with strange expressions on their faces.
This weirdness is more of a surprise about the whole thing.
A young boy, with only a few trivial clues, forced an academic associate professor to death. Although it was because the other party was unclean, everyone still felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts.
"Did Zheng Jian commit suicide because you spoke too violently?"
The principal sitting in the center asked again, "Does Xia Yin know about the conversation between you?"
"I don't know, because as soon as I called Chen Chen, my mentor asked me to leave first." Xia Yin quickly shook her head, looking confused.
"Zheng Jian takes the blame on himself. The police have already produced the results, so there is no need to mention this."
Professor Wang Xi took a sip of tea from a beaker and looked at Chen Chen with a smile on his face, "I'm more interested in what the three of you researched, which actually made Zheng Jianli faint and even cost him his life." .”
"This..." Chen Chen became even more embarrassed.
"What, are you afraid that I will also steal your research results? With so many people watching, I can't even if I want to." Seeing Chen Chen's hesitation, Professor Wang Xi became happy.
"Of course not. If you want to see our experimental data, of course there is no problem. It's just that our experimental data have become evidence in the case and there is no way to get it back at the police station." Chen Chen explained quickly.
"What about the paper?" Professor Wang Xi asked again.
"There's nothing wrong with the paper. I'll put it in the mailbox. If Professor Wang wants to read it, you can read it at any time." Chen Chen said quickly.
"Okay, you can send it to me after the meeting is over. I also want to see what shocking experiments my students have created!" Professor Wang Xi laughed heartily.
It was obvious that Wang Xi's status in the school was very high. With just one sentence, the incident of Zheng Jian's death was immediately passed over, and even the principal had to give up and continue questioning.
Chen Chen also knew in his heart that Wang Xi was protecting him.
As a result, the meeting came to an end due to Wang Xi's interruption.
Although this meeting will not really be detrimental to the three people, some questioning and pressure are still inevitable. Professor Wang Xi's attitude undoubtedly spreads his wings to protect the three people.
Chen Chen silently remembered Professor Wang Xi's move.
After leaving the conference room, Wang Wei suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "I never thought that we would be received by so many big names in academia."
"It's my fault." Chen Chen shook his head, "I didn't expect that Zheng Jian to be so mentally fragile."
"What do you call your pot? This is obviously to eliminate harm for the people, okay?"
Wang Wei said quickly, "If it weren't for you, the results of our three months of hard work would really have been robbed by that Zheng Jian. How can we still be a professor with such a character?"
Chen Chen looked at Xia Yin, who was silent, and lightly gave Wang Wei a slap.
"Ouch, look at my mouth." Wang Wei quickly laughed, "Xia Yin, I really don't blame you for this."
"It's nothing, I just feel a little guilty." Xia Yin shook her head, "If I hadn't said something more at that time, this matter wouldn't have happened today, and Teacher Zheng wouldn't have died..."
"Without you, there are still other people who will be threatened by Zheng Jian. Chenzi is here to eliminate harm for the people and solve the problem from the root!" Wang Wei said.
“…”
Chen Chen ignored Wang Wei who was talking and ran back to the car. He took out his mobile phone and sent a copy of the paper in his mailbox to each of Wang Xi, Xia Yin and Wang Wei. Then he said to Xia Yin, "I sent the paper to your mailbox. You guys Take a look, and as long as there are no problems, I will submit the article."
"I don't need to read it." Wang Wei patted Chen Chen on the shoulder, "I believe Chen Zi."
"Me too." Xia Yin nodded, "By the way, how much is the page fee? I'll forward it to you."
"It's okay. I sent it to Professor Wang Xi. I guess he can apply to the school for direct advance payment." Chen Chen waved his hand, "I'll go see Professor Wang Xi later. Will you go together?"
"No, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."
Xia Yin shook her head, smiled reluctantly at the two of them, then turned and left.
"Xia Yin doesn't look very interested." Wang Wei shook his head.
"After all, it's normal to feel depressed after your mentor is dead." Chen Chen turned his head and asked, "Are you going with us?"
"No, why am I a second-year student? Professor Wang obviously takes a fancy to you."
Wang Wei hammered Chen Chen on the shoulder, "I'm going back first. Remember to treat the whole dormitory to a meal when you win!"
"It's a deal."
The two of them exchanged fists in tacit understanding, and then Wang Wei turned and left.
Looking at Wang Wei and Xia Yin's retreating figures, Chen Chen sighed silently.
He already felt that Wang Wei and himself had obviously become a lot stranger.
This is not Wang Wei's intentional alienation, but his own problem.
The absolute rationality and calmness after taking NZT-48 itself is subtly affecting Chen Chen's character.
In addition, there is the aspect of forcing Zheng Jian to death.
Although people don't say it, it is a human life after all. Others will naturally be frightened when they see Chen Chen.
These are the reasons that gradually distance Chen Chen from others.
In fact, it's not just Wang Wei, but also the other two friends in Chen Chen's dormitory.
This is probably what is called growth, right
Chen Chen understood that the moment he got the USB flash drive, he was destined to no longer be in the same world as them.
Either reach the top or fall into the dust.
No matter what, my life will never be peaceful like this!
