Chapter 57 Dead

In the afternoon, as soon as Gu Xi woke up, Wei Heng found her: "Huang Er has answered."

"What do you say?" Gu Xi held a bowl of rice porridge and drank it slowly.

Wei Heng opened his personal terminal and tapped his fingertips: "He agreed to the conditions you proposed... To show his sincerity in cooperation, this time he also provided a message for free..."

"Oh?" Gu Xi looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wei Heng turned the light screen in front of her: "Huang Er said that the three wanted criminals who were taken away yesterday were imprisoned at No. 176 this morning..."

Gu Xi guessed from the tone of his voice that this number 176 might not be simple.

After thinking for a while, she asked: "Where is this No. 176?"

Wei Heng lowered his eyes slightly: "Every large base has a No. 176, which is a place dedicated to imprisoning those...monsters."

Gu Xi paused slightly while drinking the porridge.

Yesterday at the Nancheng Hotel, she did not detect any signs of mutation among the three people.

Man, why are you locked up in that place?

Something is wrong with this matter.

Gu Xi finished the porridge slowly, put the empty bowl aside, and raised his hand to tap the edge of the table.

After a while, she raised her head and said, "Can you ask Huang Er if you can find out the identities of the three wanted criminals and the reasons why they are wanted?"

Wei Heng nodded and started operating quickly on the light screen.

Soon, Huang Er received a reply.

"Huang Er said that he checked yesterday. The three wanted criminals are not locals, and their origins are a mystery. But judging from their accents, they should be from the southwest. As for the reason for being wanted...the warrant is for aliens.

It was released directly by the Neng Research Institute..."

After a pause, Wei Heng waited for Huang Er's next message to be sent, and then concluded:

"Huang Er also said that the senior officials of Nancheng Base did not know about the arrest in advance, but they valued the three wanted criminals very much, and even had a conflict with the Superpower Research Institute because of this..."

"And this time, Nancheng Base's attitude towards the Superpower Research Institute is unprecedentedly tough." Finally, Wei Heng read the last message from Huang Er according to the script.

...Unprecedentedly tough, this adjective obviously means something and is thought-provoking.

When Gu Xi heard this, her heart moved.

Maybe, this is an opportunity?

The little green sprouts had already appeared on her fingertips and were swirling around her wrist.

Gu Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the little green bud, and pressed the phalanx of his left index finger out of habit.

After a moment of silence, she raised her eyes and looked at Wei Heng: "Tell Huang Er, I want to know who the three people met and what they said after they were taken to No. 176... In short, the more detailed the better.

.”

Wei Heng nodded and directly relayed her words without asking any further questions.

But this time, I waited for more than ten minutes before Huang Er's reply came.

He sent a long message. After reading it, Wei Heng frowned slightly.

"How do you say it?" Gu Xi didn't bother to look at the light screen and asked Wei Heng directly.

Wei Heng's face looked a little ugly.

Huang Er said a lot of euphemistic nonsense this time. Wei Heng condensed it and concluded: "Huang Er said that No. 176 is the place with the strictest security measures in the entire base. This request you made made him feel very embarrassed...

…”

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows: Is it difficult? In fact, it can be done.

It just depends on whether the price is suitable...

Gu Xi put his hand lightly on the edge of the table and looked up: "Ask him if one million kilograms of sweet potatoes with a variation coefficient of less than 1 is enough!"

At the moment, this is obviously a sky-high price that no one can refuse.

Sure enough, Huang Er didn't even mention the price this time and agreed immediately.

That evening, Huang Er received the latest news.

"Dead?" Gu Xi was surprised, put down the dictionary in his hand, and looked up.

"Well, he's dead." Wei Heng stared at the light screen while relaying the news from Huang Er: "Huang Er said that he actually died not long after he was delivered to No. 176 in the morning, but the base deliberately concealed it.

He also just got the news..."

"So, the person died in the morning?" Gu Xi asked.

"It should be." Wei Heng said with a solemn expression: "But Huang Er is still not sure of the specific time of death. The only thing that can be determined is that the person did die, and he died on No. 176."

"All three are dead?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly: "What about the cause of death?"

"All three are dead." Wei Heng nodded and slowly looked up: "It is said that they died suddenly."

Death suddenly?

Three more together?

This statement is too perfunctory.

Gu Xi frowned slightly, something was wrong. Those three people died suddenly together, and in such a short period of time. Didn't this clearly tell others that there was something wrong here?

So, who did this?

The movement is so fast, is it Nancheng Base?

Or the Superpower Research Institute?

Or... the more secretive oriole hiding behind? Or even a hunter?

Gu Xi's hand hanging on one side calmly pressed the lower phalanges.

After a while, she slowly raised her head and asked Wei Heng: "What was the reaction from the Nancheng Base?"

"The reaction from the base was a little strange."

Wei Heng quickly browsed the latest news sent by Huang Er and said: "According to Huang Er, from the time those three people were detained to No. 176, to the time they died suddenly, it should not have been more than 3 hours. Maybe this time will be longer.

Shorter……"

"But after the death, the base did not take any measures. Even the relevant personnel of No. 176 were not interrogated. It was as if... just a few insignificant prisoners died."

But just yesterday, the Nancheng Base even had a conflict with the Superpower Research Institute for these three wanted criminals.

It was obvious that the top brass at the base valued these three wanted criminals at that time.

Things are a bit strange, and the direction becomes confusing.

"Who have the three people seen since they were imprisoned in No. 176?" Gu Xi thought for a while and asked again.

"Huang Er is still investigating." Wei Heng said, "But he can't guarantee how much useful information he can find. And..."

Wei Heng frowned slightly, paused, and then looked up at Gu Xi: "This Huang Er is reminding us in a subtle way that we'd better not interfere in this matter..."

That means...the other party has actually found useful information, but they just don't want to tell them? Gu Xi frowned slightly.

Xiao Luya poked her fingertips, but Gu Xi pressed them back indifferently.

She was thinking that the information that could not be bought even for one million kilograms of sweet potatoes with a low coefficient of variation could be imagined how important it was.

But this also confirms one thing from the side...

On the side, Wei Heng saw that she was deep in thought and stopped talking.

After thinking about it, he finally sent Ye Junhan a message.

Gu Xi sat at the stone table, her eyes slightly lowered. After being silent for a while, she raised her head and asked, "What about the Superpower Research Institute? What's the reaction there when a person dies?"

Wei Heng shook his head: "I don't know. I just asked about this, and Huang Er said that his base is in the Nancheng Base. As for the Central Base, he is beyond his reach."

"I know this."

At this moment, Shen Yue took his cousin Yang Chi into the small courtyard.

As soon as Yang Chi saw Gu Xi, his eyes lit up, he squeezed his cousin away with one shoulder, walked up to Gu Xi quickly, and smiled like a dog, "Sister Gu Xi, I'm here."

Shen Yue suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and stroked his forehead helplessly, thinking that his cousin was also a young man in his early twenties, and now he called Gu Xi a little girl just for a bite to eat...

Wei Hengze glanced at him with a smile on his face and said: You are just a freeloader, but now you have the nerve to take care of your family? Do you think you haven't eaten enough?

Gu Xi was fine.

She had dealt with Yang Chi at the experimental field, and Shen Yue also vaguely revealed his relationship with Yang Chi.

However, this was the first time Shen Yue brought someone back.

So... Gu Xi looked up at Shen Yue, waiting for him to give her an explanation.

Shen Yue glared at his cousin angrily. It was so embarrassing that he didn't hurry up and get down to business.

Unfortunately, his cousin was currently staring at the big pot of strawberries on the stone table with a salivating look on his face, swallowing hard.

He didn't receive his brother's signal at all.

Shen Yue: Feeling tired.

In the end, Gu Xi couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the big bowl of strawberries in front of Yang Chi: "Eat it." The child was so greedy that even Dahong next to him felt disgusted.

"Thank you, Sister Gu Xi!" Yang Chi said vaguely while eating strawberries: "From now on, you are my half-sister!"

Shen Yue: "..."

Wei Heng: "..."

Dahong: "..."
