Chapter 65 Chapter 64 Gunshots in the Middle of the Night

Su Guanlan folded her hands behind her back, bowed her head in thought, and walked alone, unknowingly came to a corner of the campus.It is very quiet here, and intermittent insects can be heard occasionally; small animals such as lizards, toads, voles or snakes make a little rustling sound when they pass through the grass and the autumn wind passes over the treetops.A crescent moon hides behind the dark clouds, and occasionally sheds a few rays of clear light; a gravel road that seems to be paved with frost passes through the woods and winds to the front... When the path was nearing the end, a dark figure in Building L suddenly appeared in front of him.Su Guanlan was stunned and stopped.

The outbreak of the Korean War suddenly doubled the workload of Nanjing Pharmaceutical College.Meetings are held from morning to night every day to study and accelerate the development of new drugs and support pharmaceutical factories.The biological agents room was re-staffed.Most of the vaccine group and almost all members of the enzyme group will be transferred to the antibiotic group to accelerate the industrial production of antibiotics urgently needed in the research war.Su Guanlan was so busy that she was dizzy all day long, and she didn't have a little time at her disposal until late at night.That's it.It is a rare enjoyment to come out for a walk and take a bath in the cool water of autumn night!

Chiliu—a wild animal slammed into Su Guanlan's ankle, it might be a weasel or a wild cat.He was startled.Immediately afterwards, on a treetop not far away, an owl screamed... Su Guanlan now sees how incompetent she is as the "acting principal".He didn’t know that there wasn’t even a single street lamp on this gravel road, and that the “night view” on both sides of the path and around the building was so terrifying——Yuhan often worked overtime alone in Building L until late at night. courage. A sense of guilt suddenly surged in his heart: Can he be so careless to his "colleagues"?Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of some kind of dim light shining on upstairs L.Could it be Yuhan, who is working overtime again?No, no; he knew that Yuhan was suffering from acute gastroenteritis today and was staying in the affiliated hospital.Moreover, the windows of the laboratory are bright and transparent when working at night, it can't be like this... Maybe it's blinding?Wait a minute, why did it flash again?Su Guanlan walked forward dozens of steps, rubbed her eyes, and looked closely. That's right, it was the largest laboratory of the enzyme group, located on the second floor of the "corner" department of L building.The light is vague and erratic, not like the light of incandescent or fluorescent lamps, nor like candles or oil lamps; it is a bit like fireflies or phosphorescent lights, but such things do not appear in laboratories...

This is how the same thing?Is there a thief sneaking in?Su Guanlan became nervous.Take a look at the luminous watch, hey, it's half past one in the morning, when people are sleeping soundly.Looking back for someone?The campus is too big, and it takes a long time to go back and forth, and the thief may escape.He thought for a while, he was in the middle of his life, about 1.8 meters tall, knew a little "kicking and kicking", so far he was strong enough to deal with one or two thieves without any problem... Thinking this way, he walked straight towards the building.Fortunately, he was careful, tiptoeing, and wearing soft-soled leather shoes, he walked as silently as a cat.He glanced at the window from time to time, and the mysterious light appeared and disappeared, but did not disappear.

There are four doors in Building L.The back door and the two side doors had been locked for a long time, and debris accumulated inside the door, making it impossible to open.People only go through the main entrance.This door is wider and consists of four doors with glass panels, only the middle two are opened and locked at night.Su Guanlan touched it, and found that the big iron lock had been opened, and it was put aside on the ground; after pushing it, she found that the two doors were ajar... If it had been a thief, he would have easily gained entry by breaking the glass in the door; but now the glass was intact, and the big iron lock was evidently opened with a key.In addition to Director Ye, there is also a deputy director and a secretary who have the keys to the entire L building; if any of them come back to the laboratory late at night, they can be generous and brightly lit. So sneaky.After Su Guanlan touched the door, she found that the "opponent" had forgotten to bolt the door from the inside.If the other party was not so negligent, he would have to turn around and find the security personnel, or break the glass to break in, and act out "Sanchakou" in the dark...

Su Guanlan finally made it to the second floor.The laboratory is very large, with two solid wood doors on the door.The iron pin on the outside of the door was not damaged, the iron lock was gone, and it was obviously opened with a key; after stretching out his hand to push it, he found that the "opponent" was no longer negligent, and the door was locked from the inside.Listen carefully, occasionally there is a rustling sound.The doors are tightly closed, and no light leaks out at all; but there are two ventilation windows in the high part of the wall, and there is a mysterious luster faintly looming there.Now the judgment can be made: someone is indeed doing some kind of shady thing indoors.But what could a thief steal in such a place?There was neither food, drink, nor clothing, nor jewels nor money; on the contrary, there was only danger—oh, danger!Su Guanlan suddenly remembered that the enzyme group is also known as the "enzyme room", and this laboratory in front of her stores enzyme samples and various strains of bacteria.If ignorant thieves or other intruders break the vessel, it will easily cause dire consequences that are uncontrollable...

Su Guanlan thought for a while and made a decisive decision.He walked to the door, took a few steps back, and slammed forward.With a thrilling sound, the two door panels collapsed!He rushed into the room, dodged to the left, found the light switch next to the door frame by touch, and flipped it lightly.The huge laboratory was suddenly brightly lit.He glanced around and saw that there was indeed a person in the room; then, he found that they were still "acquaintances"... The other party recognized him first, and said softly, "Oh, it's you, Su Guanlan!" Su Guanlan also yelled: "Ah, Bromi!"

Bromi was originally squatting in a corner of the room, but when the lights came on, he suddenly stood up straight and turned around.Obviously for the concealment of night operations, he was wearing dark clothes and holding a flashlight covered with a cloth, and quickly calmed down... "What are you doing here?" Su Guanlan walked towards Bu Luomi. "Stop!" Bromi tucked the flashlight into his pocket, and took out a pistol with a long and thick barrel from his pocket.The jet-black muzzle was aimed at the professor. Su Guanlan stopped.There is a laboratory table filled with various utensils and equipment between the two.

In October 1937, Su Guanlan moved to Chengdu together with most of the teachers, students and staff of Qilu University, while Bu Luomi stayed at the Jinan campus.Thirteen years have passed since then, and the two have never met again.Su Guanlan heard that because Bromi looked like "foreigners", after the outbreak of the Pacific War, he was imprisoned in the Weixian prisoner-of-war camp together with Principal Chalud and missionaries; however, the real "foreigners" were still imprisoned later. However, he was released by the Japanese.No one can tell what happened.Some people say that Bromi was proficient in Japanese a long time ago, and now he is a traitor, serving the headquarters of the Japanese "Renzi Troop" stationed on the campus of Qi University; It is also said that he traveled to Tokyo to do radio monitoring and code breaking for the Japanese, etc., but these have not been confirmed.There is only one thing that is certain, that is, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the resumption of Qi University, no one has ever seen a trace of Bu Luomi. He seems to have "evaporated".Until today, at this moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Su Guanlan in such a place.In an instant, Su Guanlan remembered the nickname of "Bastard Hughes" and all the rumors about Bromi being a "secret agent" and a "traitor" - with the black muzzle pointed at him three meters away, he was Must believe!

Having not seen each other for thirteen years, Bromi's appearance has not changed much, he is still tall, and still has little expression.With a straight face, Su Guanlan asked again: "Tell me, what are you doing here?" "Me, I want to make a deal with you." Bu Luomi watched Su Guanlan vigilantly, his body and the muzzle of his gun remained motionless, "Our relationship has never been good, and we don't need to, and we won't even have to face each other in the future. See. But that doesn't mean you can't even make a deal." Bromi said, but his eyes were fixed on Su Guanlan's back.The professor glanced back, ah, there was a door opening that he knocked open.He realized that this fake pastor was nervous, afraid that someone would appear there...

"To make a deal, why don't you find me and come here in the middle of the night?" "As I said, the relationship between us has never been good; in addition, you are the acting principal here, and there are many things you don't want to do or can't do. Therefore, I can't find you under normal circumstances. But this scene in front of me has changed everything .I came to look for something. You came here suddenly, very good, I will not look for it anymore, I will buy it from you instead. Don’t worry, I have a high price.” Bromi said, pulling out his left hand from his pocket He took out an exquisite jewelry box, placed it carefully on the laboratory table in front of him, and opened it.The box is full of diamonds.On it rested the largest pear-shaped diamond, pure and transparent, of dazzling brilliance, culminated in a melon-shaped setting suspended from a petal-shaped white gold chain... "Here, Mr. Acting Headmaster, here are exactly forty small diamonds. They come in all colors, cuts and shapes, and weigh from 0.09 carats to 1.05 carats—you You know, one carat is considered a big diamond." Bromi stared at the professor, and pinched the petal-shaped platinum chain in the box with his fingers, "Here, there is also the biggest one above, named 'Tianqin'. In the Chinese saying, it can also be called 'Vega'! Listen, what a beautiful name. You know, in the world, all diamonds over 15 carats must be named; and this diamond weighs 15.8 carats. That is to say, it ranks among the most precious gemstones. And the 'comet' of your father weighs only 3.35 carats, and it was named after the Elizabeth Golden Crown Award. The 'four C' index of 'Tianqin' is very high , completely colorless and transparent, but 'Comet' is lavender; 'Tianqin' has starlight effect, but 'Comet' has neither starlight effect nor cat's eye effect..." "This is your 'bid'?" Su Guanlan interrupted. "Yes. Whether today or in the future, the value of diamonds is the most reliable, far more precious than gold and other jewelry, let alone banknotes. With these cobalt stones, especially the 'Lira', you can Live a very luxurious life. I advise you to go abroad, and I can help you on this point..." Su Guanlan interrupted the other party again: "What exactly do you want to buy?" Bromi stared at the professor with a cold gaze, raised the muzzle of the gun in his hand, and uttered two syllables in a drawn-out tone: "K—enzyme!" Su Guanlan took a deep breath. "What enzyme, why haven't I heard of it?" "I've never heard of it!" Bromi snorted, "Aren't you the acting principal, do you often visit this building L?" It can be heard that Bromi has accurate information.Su Guanlan asked: "What kind of enzyme is this, what do you want it for?" "I don't need it, my boss needs it." "Who is your boss?" "Stop rambling, Mr. Su!" Bromi glanced at the wall clock, "I'll give you two choices now. If you can't do both, I'll kill you! You see clearly, this is a silent pistol. The sound is like clapping your hands lightly. You will give me the enzyme K immediately!" Promi spoke clearly, "As a reward, I will keep all these diamonds." "Like I said, I don't know what enzyme it is." "Okay—I couldn't find the K enzyme because it was too dark just now. Thank you for turning on all the lights, maybe I can find it. However, you have to condescend to cooperate." Bromi waved the pistol, "Wait I give the order, and you and I start at the same time, move around this laboratory table in a clockwise direction, and stop every time I order you to stop, so that I can find the K enzyme by myself. If you do, don't hinder me, Well, you'll still get some of those diamonds—" Bu Luomi took out the "Tianqin" diamond from the small box, put it in his pocket, and ordered softly: "Okay, let's start!" As he spoke, he turned sideways like a crab and moved to the left in small steps.The two stopped and walked, and Bromi's pistol was always aimed at Su Guanlan, but he kept turning his face to look at the storage containers placed along the wall.After going around half a circle, Bromi said: "Stop!" At this moment, he turned his back to the door, but he had no intention of turning around and running away... There are many terrible things stored in this room.Director Ye asked for "permanent" labels to be affixed to most of the equipment and utensils.Generally, there are black letters on the label, which are called "black labels"; harmful ones are written in red letters, which are called "red labels".There are hundreds of labels in the laboratory, including more than ten "red labels".Among the thirteen storage units, which are mainly composed of refrigerators and liquid nitrogen tanks, four have "red labels".When Su Guanlan broke in, Bu Luomi was hunched over, examining these labels one by one under the dim light of the flashlight.Now, he forced Su Guanlan with a gun, and continued to examine the rest.Finally, he saw the words "Knife" written in red letters on the label of a refrigerator... Bu Luomi suddenly became nervous, and gestured with a pistol, causing Su Guanlan to retreat a little far away.Then, he opened the refrigerator door with his left hand and poked in. The gun in his right hand was aimed at the professor all the time... "Catch the bad guys!" Su Guanlan roared. Bromi was in a hurry, pointing his gun at the professor with both hands... Just at this moment, a figure rushed in from the dark doorway, and threw a jar at Bromi.The bottle didn't hit Bromi, but it shattered just one meter away from him!Some kind of liquid sprayed out, and the pungent smoke and special smell immediately permeated... Bu Luomi regained his composure as quickly as possible.Seeing that it was a thin and thin woman rushing in, he did not change the target and pulled the trigger decisively... "Guanlan!" Ye Yuhan yelled, throwing herself on Su Guanlan. At the same time, with a "poof", the gun in Bromi's hand finally went off. "Yuhan, Yuhan!" Su Guanlan hugged the female scholar's slender body, hugged her tightly in her arms, and shouted repeatedly: "Yuhan!" Bromi took the opportunity to grab the door and escape. Bang, boom, boom! Still gunshots.The firing of submachine guns and rifles, and the thrilling shouts...
