It’s annyoing I want to eat people - Chapter 37

“Stop,” Ji Hongyi suddenly waved his hand for Secretary Liu to pause, and Secretary Liu hurriedly hit the pause button.

“Go back a little bit,” Ji Hongyi’s hand swayed to the left.

Secretary Liu tapped the button little by little, watching Ji Hongyi’s eyes.

“Move it backward a little more, a little more,” Ji Hongyi 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 Hongyi tapped the play button and said, “Mr. Liu, look at Xiao Zhao carefully.”

Secretary Liu stared at Xiao Zhao on the screen obediently and found that Xiao Zhao had left his post at 4:11 in the morning. After Xiao Zhao left, Ji Hong kept pressing the fast forward button, fast forward to 5:20, Xiao Zhao reappeared in his post, and then until 6 o’clock when he was on duty, there was nothing unusual.

“Secretary Liu, you said that Xiao Zhao disappeared for more than an hour, why did he leave?”

“This…” Secretary Liu couldn’t answer Ji Hongyi’s question for a while.

“Secretary Liu, when do you think the gun was taken away by the man in black?”

“4:51 in the morning.” Secretary Liu suddenly realized, “Oh, Director Ji, do you suspect that the man in black is Xiao Zhao or someone else?”

“Probably! 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 am because he was on the seventh floor longer than the time he stayed on the other floors. Since he found blood stains, he might have been shocked, and it was not impossible for him to shine the flashlight on the hand gun in the corner. The gun can come in handy, let alone in this kind of world, whether it is for self-defense or to sell it on the black market, it is very tempting.”

Secretary Liu nodded, “Yes, I will check this Xiao Zhao right away. “

“Well, I’ll go to the Armed Forces Department myself to see what happened to the missing video.”

“Director Ji, I have an immature suggestion,” Secretary Liu hesitated.

Ji Hongyi looked at Secretary Liu and probably guessed what he was going to say, “Say it.”

“Professor Ji appeared at the CDC between 0:43 and 1:40. Is it possible for Professor Ji to know about the blood on the seventh floor?”

Ji Hongyi smiled bitterly, and said, “Secretary Liu, to tell you the truth, I haven’t seen Xiao Yan since I got up early this morning. I’m still looking for him everywhere.”

“Ah? What’s going on?”

“Go and check Xiao Zhao’s case quickly, so that he won’t sell the gun to the black market.”

Secretary Liu also noticed that he spoke out of turn, nodded and stepped back quickly.

Ji Hongyi 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 12:40, Ji Zhaoyan was still missing.

He didn’t know why he had an ominous premonition, which may be related to his uneasy mood all morning. He was not at ease, so he always thought of a bad scenario.

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 anxiously at the head of Ji Zhaoyan’s bed, staring at the bedroom door lost in thought. If the gun in the surveillance video was really Xiao Yan’s, Xiao Yan would not casually leave the gun in the corridor and walk away. Under what circumstances would Xiao Yan leave the gun? Ji Hongyi dared not think further.

Ji Hongyi’s eyes slowly moved to the laptop on Ji Zhaoyan’s desk. He opened the laptop, tried three different passwords and unlocked it. He knew Xiao Yan too well. All Xiao Yan’s passwords were either his father’s birthday, his mother’s birthday or his own birthday.

The desktop was 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 a surveillance video.

From the monitoring screen, it looked very much like a certain laboratory of the CDC. There was a female zombie in a cage in the laboratory, and Xiao Yan often went to the laboratory to collect the tissue of the female zombie.

Ji Hongyi suddenly remembered that it might be the mutant zombie Xiao Yan caught before.

Ji Hongyi closed the video, returned to the interface, and clicked on the surveillance of the previous night.

He kept clicking the fast forward button. 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 zombie was closed.

Ji Hongyi slowly zoomed in on the screen and recognized that the person was Han Chi.

When the female zombie in the picture saw Han Chi, she gestured to him for a while. The gesture was like a blind gesture, not like a formal sign language, because Ji Hongyi 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.
