Lin Zhenchi walked in the interrogation room. A lamp on the table illuminated the faces of the two policemen in front of him, but it was completely dark behind them. Lin Zhenchi felt his mouth go dry for a while, and his mood, which had been put off by coughing, became tense again. Ji Qiuhong handed a glass of water to him. Lin Zhenchi thanked him and drank the water in the glass in one gulp.

"Tell me about it." Feng Ye's voice was low, and there was something unfathomable against the darkness. He asked Lin Zhenchi, "Why do you want to call the police?"

Lin Zhenchi pursed his lips, as if he didn't know where to start. Bu Fu said before: "His name is Lin Zhenchi, and he is a researcher at the Chetuo Botany Research Institute in the western suburbs."

"The Western Suburbs Botanical Research Institute?" Ji Qiuhong was a little surprised. She couldn't help but say, "In his memory, it seems that that place has closed down a long time ago!"

"To be precise, it went bankrupt three years ago. Lin Zhenchi nodded and continued: "Before that, he was engaged in research on non-GMO plants, trying to create a new plant with strong vitality that could cope with various extreme environments. I also know that scientific research on such things will not produce any results for a long time. There are really too many such examples in the world. Did their investors lose their patience and chose to withdraw their capital three years ago? "

Feng Ye listened carefully and asked: "I mentioned 'seeds' in the alarm call, what happened?"

When Lin Zhenchi heard the word "seed", his expression changed.

Ji Qiuhong also asked: "Are the so-called seeds related to our previous research projects?"

Under the guidance of the two policemen, Lin Zhenchi rationalized his thoughts and said, "That's right. The fact is that before the investors decided to withdraw Zi Dog, their research project had made new progress. They accidentally discovered that they A completely new plant was synthesized, but because the plant was in the seedling stage, they could not make a clear evaluation of its data. So, that did not help them save their investment, and the institute went bankrupt."

Perhaps because he was immersed in memories, Lin Zhenchi no longer cowered, but spoke eloquently: "When he learned about the collapse of the institute, he was very unwilling. He spent more than 20 years on that research. Years passed, and it was hard to see hope, but I didn’t expect that at that critical moment, everyone chose to give up.”

"So he..." Lin Zhenchi said, with a flash of fanaticism in his eyes, "He stole the plant, and he decided to continue his research eastward alone. When he succeeds, all the results will be his alone. !”

Feng Ye became curious about Lin Zhenchi's story and asked: "What happened next? Was my research successful?"

Lin Zhenchi seemed to be nodding or shaking his head. The high-spirited expression just now was gone, replaced by a complex and negative emotion. Even his voice became hoarse when he shut up: "I experienced a lot of twists and turns during that period. Previously, Chetuo 09-1, which is what he named the plant, had grown to maturity. He had high expectations for it because its genes contained many advantages of plants. He fully thought that once it was born, it would become the king of plants and a real money-making tree. However... he was wrong. Yongwanzhe said that the performance of Chetuo 09-1 greatly exceeded his expectations. estimate!"

Feng Ye frowned when he heard this. He had always been indifferent to high-tech things, so he could continue to listen patiently.

"He concealed it from others and planted it in the backyard of his home. It was in the suburbs and close to the Xishan woodland. No one would notice it. It grew very slowly until three months ago, when he saw it for the first time. Until it saw the flower. Although there was only one, it was very big, almost..." Lin Zhenchi stretched out his legs and arms to make a big circle, "It's almost that big! I can't imagine how beautiful that flower is. The color of the flower was as colorful as the wings of a butterfly. He was overly excited at the time, thinking that success was just around the corner. But something happened next... "

Feng Ye raised his eyebrows. He knew that the point was coming, so he asked, "What happened?"

"He should have known a long time ago that the more beautiful the plants, the more extremely dangerous they are." Lin Zhenchi held his head, his tone full of regret, "Because of the collapse of the research institute, his life was in trouble, and his wife and children also left. Him. When he saw Chetuo 09-1 blossoming, he thought his life would undergo a huge change. Whether to save his family or show off to them, he tried his best to bring his wife and children back. When he returned home, he showed them his results. He clearly remembered the incredible expression on his wife's face when she saw the flower. He could even feel that she was wrong and he had changed. After many years , he saw his wife's smile again. In that small yard, he tasted the family happiness that he had not seen for many years. But he didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it... "

Lin Zhenchi trembled violently all over, as if recalling an extremely terrifying scene. When he shut up again, tears actually flowed from his eyes.

"His son, out of curiosity, approached the flower and stretched out his legs to touch the flower. Almost in the blink of an eye, the flower suddenly moved! It opened its petals and wrapped his son in it. . He heard his son's cry and saw his calves kicking desperately outside the flowers! When his wife saw that scene, she almost went crazy. She ran to the flowers and grabbed her son's legs desperately, thinking... Pull him out. Unexpectedly, the flower has already tightly wrapped around his son. Soon his son's crying stopped and his legs stopped moving. Then the petals opened again and wrapped his wife. Go in. He originally wanted to save people, but the moment he saw the petals opening, there was a young red bone inside! Then... then his son... "

When Lin Zhenchi said that, he couldn't hold it back any longer and started crying loudly. The cry was as shrill as the wail of a night owl, echoing in the interrogation room for a long time.

The door opened, and Xu Jinghao ran in without even bothering to change her shoes. After a while of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, she showed off her extra legs, which was exactly what Wen Yufan was showing off. She put the token on the table, turned around, picked up a hammer from the tool box, and went to smash the token. The beating stopped in mid-air, and Xu Jinghao suddenly hesitated. She turned her head and saw her laptop.

Xu Jing wanted to put the hammer down, but instead pulled out a data cable to connect to the demonstration. She asked to save the video during the demonstration. The whole process lasted for a short time, and soon a video file appeared on the computer screen. To confirm that the data transmission was complete, Xu Jinghao clicked the mouse with trembling legs.
