Both of them recognized the true identity of this thing at the same time. Parker said: "This thing is used for emergency repairs. For example, if there is a hole somewhere in the space station that may cause oxygen loss, then use this thing to seal it."
, it is a very easy-to-use and low-cost sealant.”
The black scientist also nodded and said: "This is a very cutting-edge technology. It was developed in China. Compared with other quick-drying sealants, its biggest advantage is its low cost. One bottle costs less than three dollars."
, I can spray a few bottles without feeling any pain.”
"But why is it in this state? Isn't it glue?" Natasha wiped her hands on the wall with some disgust, and then said: "It feels like that weird alien parasite... Wait, it
Isn’t it?”
"Unfortunately, it is." The black scientist said: "This is a peripheral product of the symbiote god Tal developed by China. Although I don't know how their scientists came up with the idea of using alien biological cells as seals.
It’s a dose, but the effect is really good.”
"You mean someone sprayed a circle of this stuff on the door frame inside?" Parker thought for a while and said: "Why would he do that? Doesn't he know that as long as the door of the energy center room is closed, it will be 100% safe?
Is it airtight?”
"Are many people aware of this?"
After thinking about it, Parker shook his head and said: "It's not much to say. The power department has a lot of repairmen who have to deal with various electrical facilities every day so they can basically understand the various facilities in the space station.
It’s almost the same. Many other departments don’t go out very much, so it’s normal for them not to understand.”
"If he didn't know, then he did this to improve the airtightness of the door, which means he knew there was a hole in the ceiling and didn't want oxygen to flow away along the hole." said the black scientist.
Natasha touched her chin and expressed her speculation.
"First of all, this gel was sprayed on the other side of the door to prevent oxygen from flowing away from the hole. That proves that after the hole appeared and before we came here, except for the unlucky technical worker,
, there are still people who have been here."
"Wait, why couldn't it be the skilled worker who did it?" the black scientist said.
"Why did he break the photovoltaic integrated device?"
"Because he wants to come back... Oh, yes, if he can get into the room through that hole, then he can just open the door and walk from our side, but the gel shows that the door has not been opened
Yes, that means the person who sprayed the gel returned the same way."
"So it is very likely that a second person was present at the time." Natasha said: "We also have other evidence. For example, since the door has not been opened, what happened to the technical worker after damaging the photovoltaic integrated device?
How did you come back?"
"Of course someone saved him."
"So who rescued him? Where is this man now? Did he come forward and describe the situation? Did anyone witness the process of dragging the skilled worker back? Can the skilled worker recognize him?"
The other two were silent, and Natasha said: "Don't blame me for always thinking like an agent. It's just that you always take many things for granted, and the key to the problem is hidden in these details."
"You mean there are other people who destroyed the photovoltaic integrated device and the energy center, and the technical worker was just an unlucky guy who took the blame?" The black scientist thought along this line of thought.
"If that's the case, he might have first tricked the electrician into coming to the photovoltaic integrated device, and then used something prepared in advance to blow up and burn the photovoltaic integrated device and the energy center. When the electrician woke up, he would
I thought I did it.”
"This step obviously doesn't make sense," Parker said. "How could the electrician think he did it? Doesn't he even know if he did anything?"
"It's true that normal people don't know this," Natasha said, "but what if he was originally in a bad mental state? What if someone hypnotized him?"
Parker was about to say how could such a thing happen, but after thinking about it, there were so many monsters and monsters in the world, it was not surprising that someone could do such a thing.
"But some things may be beyond his control." The black scientist continued: "For example, a hole was blown out of the ceiling. I guess this was an unexpected situation that exceeded his expectations."
"Yes, I think so too." Natasha said: "He may not actually want to destroy the ceiling of the space station, but if such an accident occurs, he has to find a way to save it."
"Why?" Parker asked.
"oxygen."
Natasha and the black scientist said in unison, and then Natasha continued to explain: "This proves that the other party is not a robot that can survive in the space station without oxygen. You also said before that if there is such a big hole,
Then the speed of oxygen loss in the space station may be several times that of now, and then everyone may suffocate to death before any rescue."
"So after he discovered that there was a hole and was not sure about the sealing of the door, the first thing he did was to find this sealing gel to ensure that the oxygen would not really escape from the hole, thereby threatening the
Your own life is safe.”
Parker nodded, thinking it made sense, and then he asked: "If the figure you just hit is the same person as the mastermind, why is he back again?"
"This accident must have led to other accidents." Natasha, who has rich experience as an agent, said: "It's ridiculous, I have seen countless meticulous and perfect plots all lost because of a small accident, such as
It happened to rain one day, the tide happened to rise somewhere, and there was even a strong wind blowing one day."
"If it was just a simple accident, there is still room for recovery, but I am afraid that after an accident occurs to those perfectionists, they will be too eager to recover, and they would like to rush back to the scene on the spot to make the accident different from the plan.
We wiped it out, and we caught it."
"It seems that the man behind the scenes is also such a person." Parker snorted and said: "I'm afraid that the ceiling being blown up became an accident he couldn't accept. He may have come back to smooth out the impact."
"How about we go up and take a look?" Natasha suggested.
"No, Sophia is ready to leave." The black scientist said: "They are going to drive the spacecraft to another space station, so why not let them take another video or photo and compare it with the ones you took before?
Did this mysterious man leave any traces?"
Natasha accepted the proposal, and the three of them returned to their original office. By this time, the team of scientists had already set off, and the photos were soon sent to them.
Parker and the black scientist looked at it first, but they really couldn't see any difference. Natasha waved her hand and started comparison at the agent level, and finally found the difference between the two top-down photos from almost the same angle.
"Look here." Natasha pointed to the lower left corner of the picture. There is a shelf of the photovoltaic integrated device. It has not been completely burned, and there is still half of it. It seems that something is missing there.
As the picture was enlarged and enlarged, Parker's eyes gradually widened.
“Metal buckle of safety rope!!!”
Parker was almost roaring. He was very familiar with this thing. Any employee working outside was given repeated orders by him to buckle it, fasten it, and buckle it correctly. After all, this thing is related to the life safety of the workers working outside.
of.
"Didn't you say there was no safety rope?" The black scientist said with some surprise: "Didn't the electrician just want to damage the photovoltaic integrated device and attract other people's attention because there was no safety rope? Could it be that he just brought a button up?"
"How is it possible? This thing and the safety rope are connected together, and you can't take it off even if you want to." Parker gradually straightened up and said with some disbelief: "Just think about it, who would put a buckle on it without any problems?"
"That means the electrician took the safety rope???" Natasha was also a little surprised. She said, "That means his reason for destroying the photovoltaic device is not valid at all. This further confirms our previous conjecture."
"But he should have said it himself for not wearing a safety rope, right?" The black scientist questioned again: "Otherwise, where did we get the news?"
"It's possible that someone deliberately spread the news, but it's not difficult to make the electrician believe that he didn't bring it." Natasha's tone lowered, and she said: "I know at least three people who have such ability. Of course I
Knowing that it couldn't have been done by them means that there are...psychological masters beyond our knowledge."
Parker stared at the two photos closely. The buttons were still hanging there where Natasha flew out to take pictures before, but in the photos that were sent later, the buttons were missing. This meant that this mysterious person came to do this.
Just to take the button away.
"This may be one of the flaws caused by the accident." Parker said: "He found that a hole was blown above the space station, which may cause rapid loss of oxygen, so he hurriedly rushed into the room and sealed the door."
"This link was probably not included in the original plan, and he could not have carried the air sealant with him. He might have found it on the spot. This would have wasted a lot of his time, and he would not have enough time to clean up the scene after he went up."
"That's right." Natasha nodded and said, "Didn't he say there would be a maintenance team? If the spaceship of the maintenance team flew over his head, everything would be revealed, so he had to seize the time and act in a moment of urgency.
Maybe I forgot to take care of the safety rope."
"I just said that Oakes is not that kind of person!" Parker slammed the table hard and said through gritted teeth: "He is very skilled, very professional, a reliable big man, and a good husband. He is not like those stupid young newcomers.
It's just as careless, and it's even less likely that he deliberately damaged important equipment. He is unjustly accused!"
"This evidence should be enough to help Oakes clear away the suspicion, but the most important thing is to catch the mastermind behind the scenes." Natasha's face was a little solemn, she said: "If the other party is really a psychology master, he may be very unhappy.
It’s easy to deal with, we have to be prepared.”
Parker then remembered and said: "Master of psychology? Oh, yes, don't we also have a psychiatrist? Where's Dr. Schiller?"
Schiller lit a cigarette.
The dead fat man paralyzed in the corner was pale and almost shivering into a puddle of flesh. He said in a sharp voice: "It's Balk! He asked me to frame everything on Oaks! This has nothing to do with me, you can't
kill me!!!"
Schiller walked over, picked him up by his collar, and punched him unconscious.
Schiller let go of his hand, chewed his cigarette and turned around. He seemed to have thought of something, and then turned to look at the unconscious deputy chief engineer.
