"Haven't you found it yet?" one of them said coldly.
"No, all the major families in the capital, including the royal family, are looking for it, but it is said that someone has seen it..."
"Where have you seen it?"
"Recently, there was a death in Zhuoyi Laboratory in the capital. It is said that the carcinogen caused the death due to infection, but there is a doubt that they put all the blame on an outsider who sent the information. Well, that's this person."
There is an additional black and white photo on the table. The photo is not very clear, but it is enough to make out the person's face.
"This man's name is Zhang Yueming. He is a second-rate son. His father is the chief of staff of a certain military department... We investigated him for a long time and found that this man has no special skills and his cultural level is not high. If such a person takes the blame, if he is placed
Everything else is fine, but it's a bit puzzling to take the blame for a professional experimental project?"
"Let's check again. The Saintess urgently needs us to find the Beacon Order as soon as possible."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
...
Zhang Yue'e returned home and took a look at the hut where her brother lived. The door was closed. Although his brother usually was idle, he never caused trouble. Growing up, although his brother had no achievements or talents, he always took good care of him.
My brother said that he has no talent for learning, but he likes to draw and take notes. In his spare time, he will always look for things to draw with a pen, and he will record things he thinks are interesting on a notepad.
Zhang Yue'e shook her head, smiled bitterly, reached out to push open her brother's door, walked into the hut, and sat in front of the bed. Her hand subconsciously touched under the pillow. With this touch, she pulled out a piece of paper from under the pillow.
group.
Zhang Yue'e exclaimed, opened the ball of paper, and saw a pattern drawn on the paper.
This is a very strange pattern, an oval, with a snake and a centipede drawn on it. The pattern is relatively sloppy, but the lines of the giant snake and centipede are relatively clear, so Zhang Yue'e can recognize these two animals.
Based on Zhang Yue'e's understanding of his brother, he usually doesn't draw things like this unless something happens or he draws casually. But my brother rarely draws anything casually, unless... he doesn't finish the painting, or he is drawn.
Other things interfered.
Zhang Yue'e also couldn't figure out the purpose of her brother's drawings. She shook her head, flattened the paper ball and put it away.
After walking out of her brother's hut, Zhang Yue'e thought about it and decided to go find Wanbo. But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Ma Shulin holding a sugar cane and standing there stamping his feet.
Seeing Ma Shulin's ears that were red from the cold, Zhang Yuee was moved. It was very cold outside today, and this fool even came here to deliver sugar cane.
"What are you doing?"
Ma Shulin handed the sugar cane to Zhang Yue'e: "Yue'e, I have figured it out. I will go to your parents and tell them that even if they disagree, I will persist. I like you, no, I love you."
Zhang Yue'e blushed and said: "What are you talking about? Come in first."
Ma Shulin followed Zhang Yue'e into the courtyard. Everyone in the other room was still sleeping, so Zhang Yue'e pulled him into his brother's cabin.
"Sit down first and warm yourself up. It's cold outside." Zhang Yue'e wanted to pour water for Ma Shulin.
"Yue'e, no need. You like to eat sugar cane. I bought it early in the morning and brought you one. Hehe~ I also brought a knife to peel it for you." With that, Ma Shulin picked up the sugar cane and asked for it.
Peel.
"Why are you so anxious? Who is chewing sugar cane so early~" Although Zhang Yue'e said it, she was very happy in her heart, "Don't you want me to pick out your ears? Come here and lie on my brother's bed. I'll do it first."
I’ll pick out your ears.”
When Ma Shulin heard this, he chuckled and put down the sugar cane, quickly climbed onto the bed, leaned sideways, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
Ma Shulin had an unconscious habit. As soon as he fell asleep on the pillow, he would always put his hand under the pillow and fumble around. By this touch, he happened to touch the piece of paper that Zhang Yue'e had sorted out before.
Subconsciously pulling out the paper, Ma Shulin saw the pattern drawn on the paper.
"Eh?" Ma Shulin suddenly sat up, startling Zhang Yuee.
"What's wrong, you scared me to death. Fortunately, I haven't taken out the ear pick yet, otherwise I would have punctured your eardrum." Zhang Yue'e complained to Ma Shulin and saw him holding the piece of paper drawn by his brother.
He asked, "What's wrong? My brother painted it. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Ma Shulin took the paper and read it twice. He thought about it carefully, breathed several times, and finally said: "I have seen this drawing by your brother... Yes, I have really seen it.
....."
"Have you seen it?"
"Yes, I have seen a jade sign, about the size of a palm, with a snake and a centipede on it."
"How did you meet him and where did you meet him?" Zhang Yue'e asked again.
Ma Shulin thought for a while, patted his head and said, "Didn't I come to see you one time and you haven't come back yet? Your brother happened to be here. I saw that he was holding such a sign in his hand, and your brother still had his note.
I copied this brand in my book."
"Notepad?" Zhang Yuee was stunned, remembering that when I went to see her brother today, before leaving, my brother specifically said to keep my notepad safe.
Zhang Yue'e narrowed her eyes, then slapped her head: "Oh no..."
Ma Shulin didn't know what was going on and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Notepad, notepad, the notepad is at Professor Hu's place. No, I have to ask Professor Hu to get it back." After that, Zhang Yue'e stood up and left.
"I'll go with you."
...
The Third Research Office, in Professor Hu’s room.
Professor Hu rubbed his temples and gently closed his eyes. The formula steps he had just calculated gradually emerged in his mind.
"No, it doesn't seem right..." Professor Hu was a little irritated, put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and looked around with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly he saw a notepad placed on the bedside. Professor Hu moved it for a long time and finally took it in his hand.
"Oh, I remembered, this is that young man's notepad..." Professor Hu muttered to himself, "Okay, let's change our thinking."
As he spoke, Professor Hu opened his notepad and a small piece of paper fell out.
Professor Hu is highly myopic. When he opened the notepad, his eyes were placed in front of his nose, so he did not notice the small pieces of paper that fell out of the notepad.
His room was really messy, books were piled everywhere, and small pieces of paper fell into the gap between two thick books.
"Well..." Professor Hu looked through it briefly and said, "This young man is quite attentive. Hey, this information, um, yes, sure enough, there is something wrong with this part of the information." That's it.
, Professor Hu put down his notepad, walked out of the room, and shouted to the doorman: "Old Wang, I'm going to make a call and find someone else. If you need anything, wait until I get back."
.......
By the time Zhang Yue'e and Ma Shulin arrived at the gate of the Third Research Office, Professor Hu had already left for a long time.
The guard Lao Wang said that Professor Hu was not here and did not say when he would be back.
"What should we do? If Professor Hu is not here, we won't be able to get the notepad." Zhang Yue'e stamped her feet anxiously.
Ma Shulin narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled Zhang Yue'e aside, and said in a low voice: "I'll climb in through the back wall and then look for you. You can find a way to hold down the guard Lao Wang here."
"This is not good."
"What's wrong? At worst, we can just come back and tell Professor Hu."
Zhang Yue'e nodded and followed Ma Shulin's instructions and ran over to chat with the guard Lao Wang. Ma Shulin went around behind a wall that Lao Wang couldn't see and prepared to climb the wall.
As soon as he grabbed his hands, someone pulled his trousers. Ma Shulin was extremely nervous. He turned around and saw that it was Ma Xiaoquan.
"You scared me to death. Why did you come here?"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head: "I still want to ask you, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy matches, what were you doing?"
Ma Shulin didn't have time to explain to Ma Xiaoquan. He said, "You help me go in first. It's very important. I'm helping Yue'e."
When he heard that he was helping Zhang Yue'e, Ma Xiaoquan didn't hesitate. He let Ma Shulin step on his shoulders and climbed up the wall smoothly, and then climbed up himself.
"What are you doing here?" Ma Shulin asked in surprise.
"If anything happens, I'll take care of you. If something happens to you, your company will spare you. I'm from the Phoenix Rivet Factory. At worst, I'll be punished and scolded, but I won't die."
"Thank you..." Ma Shulin was a little touched. He and Ma Xiaohu (Ma Xiaoquan) were not familiar with each other, but the other party thought so thoughtfully.
"Thank you, you are my second uncle...a friend of a cousin of a cousin of my uncle's family..." Ma Xiaoquan almost let it slip.
"You knocked me out, okay, I'll go down first." After Ma Shulin finished speaking, he slid down the wall.
At the door, the guard Lao Wang was pestered by Zhang Yue'e to tell a story. Lao Wang had fought in a war, so when he heard that he wanted to tell a story, of course he was willing to tell it.
Professor Hu's door was unlocked. Ma Shulin ducked into the small room and saw that everything was filled with books.
"How can I find this?" Ma Shulin scratched his scalp. He had no choice but to rely on his feeling.
Fortunately, Professor Hu put the notepad on the bedside when he left, and Ma Shulin found it without much effort.
Putting the notepad away, Ma Shulin ran out with his body bent and returned the same way.
At this time, Lao Wang seemed to be thirsty. He stood up and subconsciously looked towards Professor Hu's room. Well, the door was closed.
Lao Wang asked Zhang Yue'e to wait a moment. Zhang Yue'e nodded on the surface, but in fact she was very anxious. Judging from Lao Wang's posture, he must be passing by Professor Hu's cabin. If Ma Shulin still made some noise inside, wouldn't it be...
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuee was very worried.
Just when Lao Wang came back carrying a thermos, Ma Shulin quietly came to Zhang Yuee's side.
When Lao Wang saw Ma Shulin, he exclaimed and asked, "Didn't your kid go to work today?"
Lao Wang and Ma Shulin knew each other well, so they spoke very directly.
Ma Shulin chuckled: "Today's work was completed ahead of schedule, and the leader gave special permission to leave work early."
