It’s Annoying I Want To Eat People - Chapter 19
When Ji Hong walked to the seventh floor, he saw a bunch of people in the corridor discussing something from a distance.
He slowly approached, and a researcher recognized him and hurriedly shouted “Director Ji”.
The people who had been talking around the blood stains quickly turned their eyes to Ji Hong, their expressions were suddenly nervous, and they all called “Director Ji”.
Ji Hong nodded, glanced at the blood stains on the ground, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“We are not very clear. We saw a puddle of dried blood when we came early in the morning, which we didn’t have when we left yesterday afternoon.”
Ji Hong nodded as if he did not understand, and then asked, “Have you seen Professor Ji?”
Several people shook their heads.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Ji Hong’s eyes, and he walked to Ji Zhaoyan’s office alone, pushed the door, and the door was locked. From the window, no one was inside.
Ji Hong strolled a few times on the seventh floor, and returned to his office anxiously without waiting for Ji Zhaoyan.
Secretary Liu came back from the Armed Forces Department at about noon. When Ji Hong saw that Secretary Liu was coming, he hurriedly asked him what the blood stains were all about.
Secretary Liu’s answer made him more confused and uneasy.
Secretary Liu said that the surveillance video of the corridor on the 7th floor had been lost for a few hours last night, and he had already copied over the few hours of surveillance that had not been lost.
The monitoring time of Secretary Liu’s copy started at 10 o’clock in the evening. At that time, there were still a few researchers on the seventh floor doing experiments. Before 12 o’clock in the evening, all the experimenters on the seventh floor were gone.
While pressing the fast forward button, Secretary Liu explained to Ji Hong, “The time when the surveillance video was lost was from 0:43 to 1:40, and there was almost an hour, at 0:42, the seventh floor. There were no bloodstains in the corridor, but bloodstains appeared in the corridors at 1:41.” Secretary Liu hit the pause button and said, pointing to the bloodstains in the screen.
“You can see that there is still a missing gun in the corner.” Secretary Liu said, pointing to the gun that fell by the door of the laboratory.
Secretary Liu just wanted to hit the play button, Ji Hong hurriedly reached out to stop him, and said, “Can you zoom in on this gun?”
Secretary Liu nodded, zoomed in on the gun, and said: “Due to the limitation of the surveillance video pixels, it is impossible to distinguish the model of the gun. It can only be seen that it is an ordinary pistol with a silencer.”
Ji Hong didn’t listen to these words of Secretary Liu. His eyes were fixed on the gradually enlarged gun. He couldn’t help holding his breath and his heartbeat accelerated. The gun looked familiar, much like he gave Xiaoyan. That one.
Secretary Liu noticed that Ji Hong cared about this gun, so the picture of the gun was enlarged to the maximum, and then paused, not in a hurry to interrupt Ji Hong’s thinking.
Ji Hong stared at the gun for ten seconds, and said, “Where is this gun now?”
Secretary Liu explained: “I don’t know where the gun is going now. The surveillance shows that someone picked up the gun at around 4 in the morning.”
Ji Hong narrowed his eyes to look at Secretary Liu, his eyes serious, but did not ask further, waved his hand for Secretary Liu to continue playing the surveillance video.
Secretary Liu kept pressing the fast forward button and said: “From 1:41, no one appeared on the monitoring screen until 3:24 in the morning, Xiao Zhao, who was on duty last night, appeared on the screen. I asked Xiao Zhao before, and he said that he usually starts patrolling the floors around 3 o’clock in the evening.”
Secretary Liu continued to press the fast forward button, “After Xiao Zhao left, no one has appeared in the screen again, but at 4:51, a person in black clothes appeared on the seventh floor with a clear goal. Go to the gun in the corner and pick it up.”
Secretary Liu paused the screen at the moment when the man in black picked up the gun, and said, “Director Ji, I think this man in black definitely came here prepared. You see, he didn’t hesitate at all, and went straight to the gun. He didn’t seem to be looking for a gun, but as if he came directly to get a gun. And he also knew that the corridor was installed with surveillance, so he deliberately wrapped himself very tightly so as not to be captured by surveillance.”
Ji Hong did not comment. He tapped the play button and continued to watch the surveillance video. After that, no one appeared in the corridor on the seventh floor. Until 6:30, the first researcher on the seventh floor found blood in the corridor. .
“Secretary Liu, how did the people in the Armed Forces Department explain the missing hour of surveillance video?” Ji Hong knew that the missing part of the video was the most important.
“They didn’t give any explanation, only that they didn’t know how to lose it.”
Ji Hong slapped the table with anger, and said angrily: “Do they work like this?”
Secretary Liu was taken aback, and quickly echoed: “Yeah, I am also puzzled. I don’t know how to lose the surveillance video, and it happens to be the most critical piece of video.”
“The man in black in the video, can you find out who it is?”
Secretary Liu said with a slightly embarrassed expression, and explained: “Director Ji, this is not likely to be easy to investigate. This man in black left the safe passage as soon as he finished picking up the gun. It’s really hard to check if he’s not thinking about it.”
“Oh, yes.” Secretary Liu seemed to think of something suddenly, and said, “I also called up the monitoring of the CDC gate and lobby, and found that Professor Ji Zhaoyanji had also visited the laboratory building at 0:52 last night. “
Ji Hong’s expression changed, and he said hurriedly: “Hurry up and let me see it under surveillance.”
Secretary Liu closed the original video screen, opened another folder, and clicked on one of the videos.
“Professor Ji appeared at the gate of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 0:52, walking in a hurry, as if he was very anxious. Xiao Zhao, who was on duty at the door, seemed to have no time to greet Professor Ji. Soon, Professor Ji I hurried into the elevator, but it is strange that Professor Ji never came out of the door afterwards.” Secretary Liu said and kept hitting the fast forward button.
“Stop.” Ji Hong suddenly waved his hand for Secretary Liu to pause, and Secretary Liu hurriedly hit the pause button.
“Go back a little bit.” Ji Hong’s hand swayed to the left.
Secretary Liu tapped the rewind button little by little, watching Ji Hong’s eyes while observing his words.
“Pour a little, then pour a little.” Ji Hong continued to wave his hands, and suddenly said, “Stop.”
Secretary Liu glanced at the time under the surveillance video. It was 3:57 in the morning. In the picture, Xiao Zhao came back on patrol with a flashlight.
Ji Hong tapped the play button and said, “Secretary Liu, look at this Xiao Zhao carefully.”
Secretary Liu obediently stared at Xiao Zhao in the picture and found Xiao Zhao left his post at 4:11 in the morning. After Xiao Zhao left, Ji Hong kept pressing the fast forward button and fast forward to 5:20. Zhao Cai reappeared in his post again, and then he was on duty until 6 o’clock, nothing unusual.
“Secretary Liu, you said that Xiao Zhao disappeared for more than an hour, why did he go?”
“This…” Secretary Liu couldn’t answer Ji Hong’s question for a while.
“Secretary Liu, do you think about when the gun was taken by the man in black?”
“4:51 in the morning.” Secretary Liu suddenly realized, “Oh, Director Ji, you suspect that the man in black is either someone else or Xiao Zhao.”
“It’s very likely, you can check it out. According to the surveillance video on the seventh floor, Xiao Zhao should have found blood in the corridor on the seventh floor when he was patrolling at 3:24 in the morning, because the time he spent on the seventh floor was obvious. It takes longer to stay on other floors. Since he has found blood stains, he is shocked, and it is not impossible to shine a flashlight on the hand gun in the corner. The hand gun can be used at any time. Yes, let alone in this world, whether it is to stay for defense or sell it on the black market, it is very tempting.”
Secretary Liu nodded, “Yes, I will check this Xiao Zhao right away.”
“Well, I also have to go to the Armed Forces Department personally to see what is going on with this lost video.”
“Director Ji, I have an immature suggestion.” Secretary Liu hesitated.
Ji Hong looked at Secretary Liu, probably already guessing what he was going to say, “Let’s talk.”
“Professor Ji appeared at the CDC exactly between 0:43 and 1:40. Is it possible for Professor Ji to know about the blood on the seventh floor?”
Ji Hong smiled bitterly and said, “Secretary Liu, tell you the truth. I haven’t seen Xiao Yan since I got up early this morning. I still look for him everywhere.”
“Ah? What’s the matter?”
“Hurry up and investigate Xiao Zhao’s affairs, lest he sell his guns on the black market, and there will be no evidence.”
Secretary Liu also noticed that he was talking too much, nodded, and quickly stepped back.
Ji Hong sat in the office for a while, and then left the CDC. Before he went to the Armed Forces Department, he went home first, because he wanted to verify whether the gun in the surveillance screen was the one he gave to his son.
He opened the door, stood in the hallway to change shoes, looked at his son’s slippers, and looked at the clean and tidy dining table. He couldn’t help but panic. He glanced at the wall clock on the table. At twelve forty, Ji Zhaoyan still disappeared. .
I don’t know why he has an ominous premonition. This may be related to his anxiety all morning, and his heart is not at ease, so he always thinks badly.
He walked into Ji Zhaoyan’s room and started looking for the gun, flipping it back and forth three times without finding it.
He sat on Ji Zhaoyan’s bedside anxiously, staring at the bedroom door in deep thought. If the gun in the surveillance video was really Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan would not just throw the gun in the corridor casually and leave like that. . Under what circumstances would Xiaoyan leave the gun behind? Ji Hong didn’t dare to think anymore.
Ji Hong’s gaze slowly moved to the laptop on Ji Zhaoyan’s desk. He turned on the laptop in a ghostly manner. The computer had a password. Ji Hong unlocked it after 3 attempts. He knew Xiaoyan too well, and Xiaoyan had all of it. Password, either father’s birthday or mother’s birthday, or his own birthday.
The desktop is very simple, with only a few icons.
There was an icon named 712 on the desktop. Ji Hong couldn’t understand what it was, so he clicked on it.
After clicking on it, he discovered that it turned out to be surveillance.
From the monitoring screen, it looks like a laboratory of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There is a female zombie in a cage in the lab, and Xiao Yan often comes to the lab to collect the tissues of the female zombie.
Ji Hong suddenly remembered, this is not the mutant zombies Xiaoyan caught before.
Ji Hong closed the video, returned to the interface, and clicked on the surveillance last night.
He kept hitting the fast forward button, and at 0:46, someone suddenly opened the door of the laboratory, illuminated the laboratory with a flashlight, and walked directly to the cage where the zombies were closed.
Ji Hong slowly zoomed in on the screen and recognized that the person was Han Chi.
I saw the female zombie in the picture saw Han Chi, and gestured at him for a while. The gesture was like a blind gesture, not like a formal sign language, because Ji Hong still knew a little sign language.
Han Chi took out the key to open the zombie cage from the drawer of the experiment table and released the female zombie. It was exactly 0:55 when the two left the monitoring screen.
