Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen Another Doubt
When I ran to the laboratory quickly, I saw everyone gathered at the door, and no one broke in, all of them were full of doubts.It can be seen that few people can figure out what Cai Feng's so-called "significant discovery" refers to.
I was kept out of the crowd, so I could only look into the room with my toes up. In the gap between the shaking heads, I could see a puddle of yellow "sewage" overflowing everywhere on the floor of the laboratory. It was scorched yellow and sticky. Like a bacterial life form that can replicate infinitely, it slowly spreads to the surroundings.In the sphere of influence that has been "destroyed" by the mucus, there are many shiny glass shards scattered on the ground, lying motionless on the ground, like the dotted islands in the sea that are about to be submerged. The thermos bottle, alone exudes a trace of heat!
"It's my mistake to say it. I have been a little dizzy and dizzy after a few days of work. I can see that even the tables, chairs and benches are dangling. I originally wanted to use a glass straw to take a little liquid to do it. However, just after taking the liquid, I accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. Not only the glass straw was smashed, but even a thermos bottle at the foot of the table was kicked to pieces. It’s like this!” Cai Feng said with a self-deprecating smile.
Lin Qing and the others still didn't understand, they looked at Cai Feng suspiciously for a while, and then looked at the scorched yellow mucus that was still spreading on the ground.Perhaps, what's on their minds is, what's the fuss about kicking an innocuous thermos?
However, I have already seen the reason why Cai Feng is so excited.Of course, from Professor Li's motionless figure and his right arm trembling more and more violently, I knew that he already knew the reason.
It's not that Professor Li and I are smarter than others, but that when Li Moran's grave was dug that day, he and I were both present!
If Cai Feng didn't say that the liquid that is spreading continuously on the ground is warm water in a thermos, I must have mistakenly thought that it should be the corpse liquid mixed with rainwater that Cai Feng retrieved from the tomb "overwhelmingly"—that is, so far So far, the only panacea we have been able to find to restrain the spread of pustule!
Having said that, you probably already understand the reason why Cai Feng is so excited about his carelessness!
Yes, it was this unintentional stumble that made an astonishing discovery and an inexhaustible source of "elixir"!Yes, this shows that the small glass of liquid containing corpse poison is extremely infectious.Just like a computer virus, as long as it is given a medium, it can infect all connected "hosts" at an extremely fast speed.Of course, this "host" is just our most common water!Normally, it would be a headache for the highly toxic corpse fluid to be so contagious, but in this special period, no one would think it was a bad thing.
After being silent for quite a while, Professor Li murmured: "Good fall!" Then he seemed to wake up suddenly, turned around and drove out those of us who were not doctors, "Get out, get out, don't get in the way We work!" Of course, I was also included in the expulsion.
We exited the lab and the door slammed shut.
Up to now, Lin Qing and others are still full of doubts, wondering what happened?
I had no choice but to explain exactly what happened that day when Li Moran's grave was dug open. Of course, the news that corpse water from the tomb can restrain pustules has already been mentioned by Professor Li at the meeting, so I don't need to say more.
Hearing this news, everyone had smiles on their faces. This should be the only encouraging discovery in the past few days!
Ren Yuansheng smiled and said: "Xiao Cai is really a lucky general, this fall is really... really a good fall, a good fall!"
After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help laughing easily.
Lin Qing laughed a few times, then frowned suddenly, and asked, "Then what should we do with the water in the future?"
Everyone's smiles were on their faces again. His worries were not unfounded. Since corpse fluid can be copied infinitely, there is no doubt that there is a huge danger hidden in it.After this disease is eradicated in the future, if a drop seeps into the drinking water system of City S, even if it falls into the city sewer, it will be another catastrophe, even far more dangerous than the current situation.Because experiments have proved that it can not only restrain pustules, but also has greater toxicity.
"I just remind Professor Li to carefully calculate the dose when making it. If it can be used up and there is no leftover, then it would be great!" The head of the epidemic prevention station said with a wry smile, but thought that the dose of the antidote needed to be prepared It's completely suitable, without leaving a drop, I'm afraid even the most advanced computer in the world can't achieve it. Instead of pinning your hopes on luck, it's more realistic to think of a way to deal with it.
Lin Qing frowned for a while, and finally said with a smile: "After all, there will be a solution. The most important thing is to work hard to get through the current hurdle!"
The rest is to discuss the deployment and mobilization. Seeing that I can't help any more, I silently retreated to the side and walked downstairs.
I am afraid that the hospital has never been so crowded as it is today. The corridors and halls are full of people, and even the courtyard is already full of people.Perhaps the free medical examination is a new thing in City S. The citizens crowded together, talking loudly with smiles on their faces. One person was telling others that although he came here before dawn, he waited until this It was not his turn yet, and he kept complaining that the hospital's work style was too lax, and he should complain to the relevant department!Another person loudly praised the government for carrying out this event, which is really a great thing, and because the leaders can personally consider the common people, their style of work is very different from before.There were also people who quarreled with the people next to them because of the order of the queue, spitting and staring everywhere.A female reporter from the TV station was standing in the crowd, speaking enthusiastically to the camera!
I slowly squeezed out of the crowd and went straight to Bai Feng's ward on the ground floor.Standing outside the ward, one could see that Bai Feng had already woken up, holding his knees and staring at a wall in a daze.
She didn't know what she was thinking, and she was very absorbed. I gently pushed the door open, but the creaking sound when it opened didn't pull her back from her contemplation.It wasn't until I sat on the chair next to her bed and coughed lightly that she came back to her senses.
She looked haggard, and she was a different person from when I first saw her.She glanced at me, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Thank you for saving me!"
It's not known who told her, but apparently she already knew what had happened.I smiled slightly: "You're welcome, how are you feeling now?"
"It's okay!" she replied, "Is he... really dead?"
Of course I knew that it was Lu Hua she was asking, and my face darkened, and I said, "I didn't expect this to happen, I'm so sorry!"
Bai Feng's face became even uglier, and he said quietly: "Actually, he has always been very kind to me, I never thought he would do such a thing!"
"It's not his fault. If he knows these things himself, I'm afraid even he himself will be afraid!"
Bai Feng sighed faintly, remained silent for a while, and then said again: "Do all the people outside have the same disease?"
I smiled wryly and said, "It's just a suspicion now, maybe things are not as bad as we thought!"
Bai Feng also squeezed out a smile, not sure if he was comforting himself or me, and said, "I hope that's the case!" After a pause, he asked again, "How did this happen?"
I didn't want to talk to her about it anymore, but what else can I say now?I looked at the bewilderment on her face, and knew that if I didn't tell her the "truth" of the matter (at the time, I really believed that must be the truth), I was afraid that she would remain confused, which would not help her recovery. What a good effect, so I told my conjecture about the whole thing, although it sounds a bit fanciful, as weird as aliens invading the earth, but even a weird reason is better than no reason. Much more peace of mind.
Bai Feng listened to my words very seriously, neither interrupting nor nodding, just listening with a serious face.
After I explained my account of the whole incident in detail, Bai Feng's face relaxed a little, as if the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.She opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly frowned and said, "I think what you said is still suspicious!"
"Suspicious, what's wrong?"
Bai Feng said slowly: "Do you still remember what happened that night when I called you?" I nod. "I found some information about Li Moran on the Internet before the accident that night. Have I told you about this?" Bai Feng asked again. I nodded again, gesturing for her to continue. "If things are really as you speculated, then why did Li Moran get seriously ill three years ago, and it took three years for us to get sick collectively? Is this just because of Li Moran's physique?" I was stopped by her question and didn't know how to answer.Yes, the question she raised is indeed difficult to explain. Even if I can regard Lu Hua's performance as more serious than others, how can I explain Li Moran's performance?Can it be prevaricated simply by explaining from the differences in personal physique?A discerning person can tell at a glance that this explanation is simply perfunctory.If Li Moran had an early attack due to his special constitution, then why is he the only one with a special constitution in a city of S with hundreds of thousands of people?This is obviously unreasonable.There must be other reasons hidden in this, and this reason is likely to be the key to all the problems that are happening now.I must figure it out! Seeing that I was silent, Bai Feng forced a smile again, and said: "Maybe it's because of my illness, I've become sensitive, maybe things are just as you speculate, I'm just thinking wildly!" "No! You are right. This is indeed the biggest doubt. If you solve it, maybe the whole story will be clear!" I paused again, and continued, "However, now you My main task is to recuperate with peace of mind, and I will figure it out!" After I finished speaking, I solemnly nodded to her and stood up. "I'll go with you!" Bai Feng asked with bright eyes, "After all, I know S City better than you!" I turned my head and smiled at her, and said easily: "Don't worry, I will never get lost!" Then I opened the door gently and walked out. Although Bai Feng has considerable self-control ability, Lu Hua's incident was a heavy blow to her, pressing on her heart like a stone, so that she would never forget that she was a patient, a person who could not be used. How long will it take to become a walking dead like Lu Hua.If this is the case, let her act with me again, which is not only unreasonable for a young woman, but also a bit cruel.What's more, after being injured and being hijacked, her body has been severely overdrawn, and what she needs now is to recover with peace of mind.But can she really feel at ease? Thinking of this, I can't help but secretly smile. Now, I'm going to find Liu Zheng, maybe there will be detailed information about Li Moran in the Public Security Bureau, and we must find clues from his background in this matter. Just as I was thinking and walking out, I heard someone calling me loudly at the entrance of the corridor. I looked up and saw Liu Zheng standing at the other end of the corridor, waving at me and calling me loudly.So I took two quick steps, arrived next to him, and said with a smile, "Ju Liu, what a coincidence, I was just about to find you!" Liu Zheng stood there dusty, and when he heard my words, he asked in surprise, "You know?" "what do you know?" "Lu Hua is still alive!" There was a trace of relief on Liu Zheng's face. I was taken aback, thinking my ears had misheard.At that time, I clearly saw that the bullet had indeed been shot into Lu Hua's head, and his blurred face was still vivid in my memory. Now that I hear the news, I really can't believe it.So he opened his mouth wide and asked, "Lu Hua is still alive?" Liu Zheng nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, he is still alive, not only alive, but has returned to a normal state!"
When I stood at the door of the ward and looked at Lu Hua, whose head was wrapped in layers of bandages, looking at me with sober eyes, I realized the surprise from just now. Yes, Lu Hua didn't die, which sounds a bit unbelievable, but after I figured out the matter, I didn't think it was strange anymore, I just felt lucky for Lu Hua's luck. The bullet did hit Lu Hua's head, but it passed through his skull. I don't know if it was because Liu Zheng didn't want to kill his capable general with his own hands, so he deliberately raised the target of the shot, or it was in the dark His vision was blurred, the target was not accurate, or Lu Hua instinctively dodged when he heard the gunshot - at the speed he had at the time, it was already considered an accident to cause this kind of damage. But no matter what the reason, the bullet did stick to Lu Hua's skull and passed through the hole. It didn't hurt his brain, but broke the rapidly expanding pustules on his skull. The so-called brain pulp I saw was just sticky pus liquid only.Originally, the pus was yellow, and the color was very different from the brain, but the hazy sky in the early morning made me ignore this small difference.After being shot, Lu Hua fell into a coma. Seeing his bloody state, I was naturally not in the mood to test whether his heartbeat had stopped, so I confusedly included him in the array of death until the hospital The ambulance treated him as a breathless corpse, covered it with a white cloth and put it in the car with the other dead.It is very likely that the bumps along the way made him groan in pain. The driver thought it was a fake corpse, so he jumped off before the car stopped in fright. When Liu Zheng opened the white cloth to check what happened, he found that the bloody Lu Hua had already opened his eyes. Eyes opened. This is a good thing. The Lu Hua who has special abilities but is unconscious has gone away, and the sober Lu Hua has returned to our side. This is indeed a blessing in misfortune.Although he once killed two of his colleagues, although he once hijacked Bai Feng, although he once tried to put me and Mayor Ren to death, it was not his crime, and it is no longer important, what is important is He is not dead! I saw Lu Hua lying motionless on the hospital bed and said, "Captain Lu, you... finally woke up!" Moisture appeared in Lu Hua's eyes. He glanced at me, then slowly turned his head to the side, and after a long pause, he said, "I wish I could never wake up!" I went over the syllables he uttered in my head before I understood what he was talking about.After understanding what he meant, I looked back at Liu Zheng, and there was a wry smile on his face. When I wanted to comfort him a few more words, Liu Zheng pulled my clothes behind my back and led me out of the room. Lu Hua didn't look at us anymore, but closed his eyes tightly, two tears flowed down his stubble-covered cheeks, and dripped onto the thick gauze under his jaw. We walked a long distance along the corridor, and Liu Zhengcai stopped and said, "He knows everything!" In fact, when I saw Lu Hua's pained expression, I already guessed it: "You told him?" Liu Zheng nodded, and said: "After he woke up, he saw the corpses lying beside him, and his emotions became a little out of control. He always suspected that he killed them, and even hit his head on the iron fence on the car several times. We gave He took several injections of sedatives, but they didn't work at all, there is no other way, I can only tell him what happened!" "You also talked about Lao Fang and Xiao Zhou?" I asked in surprise.The companion who died in the car was not actually killed by him, so he doesn't have to worry about his conscience. As for the hijacking of Bai Feng and me being attacked, there were no irreparable consequences. I think the reason why he blamed himself so much was because Because of the deaths of Lao Fang and Xiao Zhou. Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "I didn't say it, but he seemed to know that it was his fault. Because after I finished explaining how he was knocked unconscious by a shot! He said: 'Director, you shouldn't have saved me. You should give me another shot, I killed Lao Fang, I killed Xiao Zhou, now I hijacked Bai Feng, and tried to kill Mr. Yi and Mayor Ren, how can you let me have the face to live ?'” I can understand Lu Hua's state of mind at this time. It is a deep sense of guilt. Anyone who has done such an irreversible thing will be tortured because of the conscience in his heart.It was a kind of torture, and it was even more a kind of torture. This kind of suffering was far more uncomfortable than being tortured, and it was endless and never let go! I know how Lu Hua knew that he killed Lao Fang and Xiao Zhou. It was because of me, what I said when I met him for the first time last night made him know the truth of the matter.That's right, since he can still vaguely remember my name and the previous events, it proves that he didn't completely lose his memory at that time, but was in a half-conscious state. When he was awake, then it is understandable that he can now remember what I said when he was in a half-conscious state. "Then why is his speech indistinct?" I asked again. Liu Zheng looked at me, smiled wryly and shook his head, as if he had something hard to say. Seeing Liu Zheng hesitate to speak, I suddenly understood that this was the result of Ren Yuansheng's first shot, and of course it was also the evil result caused by me.The first shot was supposed to hit Lu Hua, but I was hooked on a rock halfway through. Lu Hua moved and didn't drag me up. The shot just hit his long tongue wrapped around me and broke it from it.Unexpectedly, after he returned to normal, the disability on his tongue did not recover. Although I feel very sorry for the bad consequences I caused, I don't regret it. Faced with the sinister situation last night, I have no choice.Besides, I'm not a person who can afford it and can't let it go. Now that I have done it, I have nothing to regret. Even if Lu Hua will hate me, I can't control that much. I smiled wryly, and comforted me: "Maybe Captain Lu just couldn't accept it for a while, and it might get better after a while. After all, you can't blame anyone for this matter. If you want to blame, you can only blame that nasty pustule. You don't have to worry too much! " Liu Zheng sighed: "I hope so, but I know his character very well. It may not be easy for him to let go of this matter completely. Hey! Let's not talk about this, maybe it will get better after a long time Point! Do you have other things to ask me for?" So I explained Bai Feng's question again, and asked him if he had any detailed information about Li Moran. Liu Zheng frowned and said, "Well, this question is very strange. Before this case involved Li Moran, we didn't deliberately search for his information. It was only after digging out his body that I wondered why this person I became interested in becoming a zombie, and intentionally or unintentionally searched for some information about him during his lifetime, but it was not very comprehensive, and I thought it was useless at the time, so I didn’t provide it to you.” I quickly asked: "Where are these materials now?" "In my house, if you want it, I'll go get it right now!" I said, "No need, I'll go directly with you to see it!"
Director Liu's home is not as grand as I imagined, it's just in an old-fashioned residential building with an old appearance.The house is not big, it is a standard small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. The furnishings in the home are not much different from those of retired workers. There is a 25-inch color TV in the hall, and a set of leather sofas that have been used for many years. Sophisticated cushions - hand-stitched.The fridge wardrobe was nothing special either. Liu Zheng said with a smile: "Mr. Yi laughed, my place is really humble!" "Director Liu, you're being polite. Once you enter your house, you'll be able to tell who you are!" "I'm going to retire soon, and my children have their own small homes. What do we old couple do? We just need to live comfortably!" While talking, a kind-faced middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen with an apron tied around her waist. She seemed to be preparing breakfast. When she saw us entering, she greeted me with a smile. I called my aunt, and the middle-aged woman smiled and asked Liu Zheng: "Old Liu, this is..." Liu Zheng smiled and said my name, and then said: "My wife, go and pour some water, is breakfast ready?" Mrs. Liu took the teapot to make tea and said, "Didn't you say that you are busy with work recently and won't come back? Why did you come back suddenly early in the morning?" Liu Zheng let me back into the back room, and said: "You don't understand after I tell you, you should prepare breakfast quickly, Xiaodu and I are hungry after working all night!" I followed him to the bedroom with a smile. There was an old-fashioned computer with a 19-inch flat-screen display in the room. Liu Zheng let me sit on the chair while looking through the drawer to find the information about Li Moran. Finally, he found this thin document in the drawer under the computer desk, which was about four or five pages long. I took it and couldn't wait to read it: At this time Mrs. Liu Zheng brought over tea, stood beside her and complained to Liu Zheng: "I've never seen you like this, and you're retiring soon, why are you busier than before..." She stopped talking at this point, and I kept talking Looking at the information in my hand, I didn't go to see the two of them. I think it must be that Liu Zheng was afraid of disturbing my thoughts and stopped his wife from nagging.Then, when she went out, she heard the sound of the anti-theft door opening and closing again. She should have gone out to buy breakfast. The following information is a brief introduction of Li Moran's family situation. I saw that there was no other useful information on the first page, so I scrolled down. The next ones are two articles that Li Moran once published in agricultural magazines. One is There are practical technical papers on how to cultivate wheat effectively to increase yield, and there is a paper titled "A New Exploration of the Medicinal Value of Garlic", and nothing else. I briefly read these two articles. The first one is a purely scientific paper, but the second one is written very systematically, from the history of garlic planting to the medicinal tradition, and from the composition of garlic to the medicinal use. value, and then emphatically put forward several new medicinal effects.It can be said to be a very detailed and insightful article.There are also many medical terms and English symbols used in it. Of course, I can't understand these things. I can only guess the meaning of these terms and symbols based on the meaning of the context.However, Li Moran used a lot of these terms in his thesis. It can be seen that he came up with these terms casually, which at least shows that he is definitely not a layman who knows nothing about medicine: "Liu Bureau, Li Moran has received formal medical knowledge. Education?" Liu Zheng handed me a cigarette, lit it for me, and lit one himself, saying: "I really don't know about this, but botanical experts know a little bit about herbal medicine. In ancient China, herbal medicine was the basic prescription, and the practice of medicine and diagnosis relied on the herbal medicine isolated from crops, and it is normal for agronomists to know about herbal medicine!" I nodded and said, "However, reading this article, it seems that this agronomist doesn't seem to be as simple as knowing a little about herbal medicine!" "What doubts did you find?" I shook my head, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "When did Li Moran retire?" Liu Zheng calculated deeply, and said, "If calculated according to the retirement age of 55, it should be in 1997!" "So, he has been working as a consultant in the flower market since he retired?" Liu Zheng smiled wryly again and shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.In fact, it is a bit difficult for me to ask him these questions. I am afraid that apart from the few pages of information at hand, he does not know much more than me. I immediately asked, "Is the Zijinxiang Flower Market far from here?" "It's not far, it's just west of the city, and it's only a ten-minute drive from here!" I stood up and said, "I want to go over and find out right away!" Liu Zheng looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "It's only after eight o'clock, and usually it doesn't open until nine o'clock, so let's go after breakfast!" While talking, Mrs. Liu Zheng bought breakfast and put it on the table, and warmly called me over to eat.The breakfast exudes a strong fragrance and is steaming hot. There are fried dough sticks and soy milk that the common people like to eat, as well as warmed milk burgers. It seems that this is specially prepared for me. Maybe in the eyes of this ordinary wife of the bureau chief Come on, at my age, I must love western food. I sat down, and I was not polite. In fact, what Liu Zheng said was quite right. After a night of adventures and twists and turns, my stomach has indeed started to growl. To be honest, this breakfast is the warmest and most enjoyable one I have eaten in the past few days.Both Liu Zheng and I ate very quickly. If we use an idiom to describe it, the idiom of wind and clouds is the most appropriate.Mrs. Liu Zheng was busy adding food for us, while looking at us and smiling slightly.Maybe she must be thinking in her heart how the two of us eat like refugees who have been hungry for many days? After dinner, Liu Zheng drove to Zijinxiang Flower Market. I prayed secretly in the car, I hope we can find something this time.
Bai Feng said slowly: "Do you still remember what happened that night when I called you?" I nod. "I found some information about Li Moran on the Internet before the accident that night. Have I told you about this?" Bai Feng asked again. I nodded again, gesturing for her to continue. "If things are really as you speculated, then why did Li Moran get seriously ill three years ago, and it took three years for us to get sick collectively?

Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "I didn't say it, but he seemed to know that it was his fault. Because after I finished explaining how he was knocked unconscious by a shot! He said: 'Director, you shouldn't have saved me. You should give me another shot, I killed Lao Fang, I killed Xiao Zhou, now I hijacked Bai Feng, and tried to kill Mr. Yi and Mayor Ren, how can you let me have the face to live ?'” I can understand Lu Hua's state of mind at this time. It is a deep sense of guilt. Anyone who has done such an irreversible thing will be tortured because of the conscience in his heart.It was a kind of torture, and it was even more a kind of torture. This kind of suffering was far more uncomfortable than being tortured, and it was endless and never let go! I know how Lu Hua knew that he killed Lao Fang and Xiao Zhou. It was because of me, what I said when I met him for the first time last night made him know the truth of the matter.That's right, since he can still vaguely remember my name and the previous events, it proves that he didn't completely lose his memory at that time, but was in a half-conscious state. When he was awake, then it is understandable that he can now remember what I said when he was in a half-conscious state. "Then why is his speech indistinct?" I asked again. Liu Zheng looked at me, smiled wryly and shook his head, as if he had something hard to say. Seeing Liu Zheng hesitate to speak, I suddenly understood that this was the result of Ren Yuansheng's first shot, and of course it was also the evil result caused by me.The first shot was supposed to hit Lu Hua, but I was hooked on a rock halfway through. Lu Hua moved and didn't drag me up. The shot just hit his long tongue wrapped around me and broke it from it.Unexpectedly, after he returned to normal, the disability on his tongue did not recover. Although I feel very sorry for the bad consequences I caused, I don't regret it. Faced with the sinister situation last night, I have no choice.Besides, I'm not a person who can afford it and can't let it go. Now that I have done it, I have nothing to regret. Even if Lu Hua will hate me, I can't control that much. I smiled wryly, and comforted me: "Maybe Captain Lu just couldn't accept it for a while, and it might get better after a while. After all, you can't blame anyone for this matter. If you want to blame, you can only blame that nasty pustule. You don't have to worry too much! " Liu Zheng sighed: "I hope so, but I know his character very well. It may not be easy for him to let go of this matter completely. Hey! Let's not talk about this, maybe it will get better after a long time Point! Do you have other things to ask me for?" So I explained Bai Feng's question again, and asked him if he had any detailed information about Li Moran. Liu Zheng frowned and said, "Well, this question is very strange. Before this case involved Li Moran, we didn't deliberately search for his information. It was only after digging out his body that I wondered why this person I became interested in becoming a zombie, and intentionally or unintentionally searched for some information about him during his lifetime, but it was not very comprehensive, and I thought it was useless at the time, so I didn’t provide it to you.” I quickly asked: "Where are these materials now?" "In my house, if you want it, I'll go get it right now!" I said, "No need, I'll go directly with you to see it!"
Director Liu's home is not as grand as I imagined, it's just in an old-fashioned residential building with an old appearance.The house is not big, it is a standard small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. The furnishings in the home are not much different from those of retired workers. There is a 25-inch color TV in the hall, and a set of leather sofas that have been used for many years. Sophisticated cushions - hand-stitched.The fridge wardrobe was nothing special either. Liu Zheng said with a smile: "Mr. Yi laughed, my place is really humble!" "Director Liu, you're being polite. Once you enter your house, you'll be able to tell who you are!" "I'm going to retire soon, and my children have their own small homes. What do we old couple do? We just need to live comfortably!" While talking, a kind-faced middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen with an apron tied around her waist. She seemed to be preparing breakfast. When she saw us entering, she greeted me with a smile. I called my aunt, and the middle-aged woman smiled and asked Liu Zheng: "Old Liu, this is..." Liu Zheng smiled and said my name, and then said: "My wife, go and pour some water, is breakfast ready?" Mrs. Liu took the teapot to make tea and said, "Didn't you say that you are busy with work recently and won't come back? Why did you come back suddenly early in the morning?" Liu Zheng let me back into the back room, and said: "You don't understand after I tell you, you should prepare breakfast quickly, Xiaodu and I are hungry after working all night!" I followed him to the bedroom with a smile. There was an old-fashioned computer with a 19-inch flat-screen display in the room. Liu Zheng let me sit on the chair while looking through the drawer to find the information about Li Moran. Finally, he found this thin document in the drawer under the computer desk, which was about four or five pages long. I took it and couldn't wait to read it: At this time Mrs. Liu Zheng brought over tea, stood beside her and complained to Liu Zheng: "I've never seen you like this, and you're retiring soon, why are you busier than before..." She stopped talking at this point, and I kept talking Looking at the information in my hand, I didn't go to see the two of them. I think it must be that Liu Zheng was afraid of disturbing my thoughts and stopped his wife from nagging.Then, when she went out, she heard the sound of the anti-theft door opening and closing again. She should have gone out to buy breakfast. The following information is a brief introduction of Li Moran's family situation. I saw that there was no other useful information on the first page, so I scrolled down. The next ones are two articles that Li Moran once published in agricultural magazines. One is There are practical technical papers on how to cultivate wheat effectively to increase yield, and there is a paper titled "A New Exploration of the Medicinal Value of Garlic", and nothing else. I briefly read these two articles. The first one is a purely scientific paper, but the second one is written very systematically, from the history of garlic planting to the medicinal tradition, and from the composition of garlic to the medicinal use. value, and then emphatically put forward several new medicinal effects.It can be said to be a very detailed and insightful article.There are also many medical terms and English symbols used in it. Of course, I can't understand these things. I can only guess the meaning of these terms and symbols based on the meaning of the context.However, Li Moran used a lot of these terms in his thesis. It can be seen that he came up with these terms casually, which at least shows that he is definitely not a layman who knows nothing about medicine: "Liu Bureau, Li Moran has received formal medical knowledge. Education?" Liu Zheng handed me a cigarette, lit it for me, and lit one himself, saying: "I really don't know about this, but botanical experts know a little bit about herbal medicine. In ancient China, herbal medicine was the basic prescription, and the practice of medicine and diagnosis relied on the herbal medicine isolated from crops, and it is normal for agronomists to know about herbal medicine!" I nodded and said, "However, reading this article, it seems that this agronomist doesn't seem to be as simple as knowing a little about herbal medicine!" "What doubts did you find?" I shook my head, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "When did Li Moran retire?" Liu Zheng calculated deeply, and said, "If calculated according to the retirement age of 55, it should be in 1997!" "So, he has been working as a consultant in the flower market since he retired?" Liu Zheng smiled wryly again and shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.In fact, it is a bit difficult for me to ask him these questions. I am afraid that apart from the few pages of information at hand, he does not know much more than me. I immediately asked, "Is the Zijinxiang Flower Market far from here?" "It's not far, it's just west of the city, and it's only a ten-minute drive from here!" I stood up and said, "I want to go over and find out right away!" Liu Zheng looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "It's only after eight o'clock, and usually it doesn't open until nine o'clock, so let's go after breakfast!" While talking, Mrs. Liu Zheng bought breakfast and put it on the table, and warmly called me over to eat.The breakfast exudes a strong fragrance and is steaming hot. There are fried dough sticks and soy milk that the common people like to eat, as well as warmed milk burgers. It seems that this is specially prepared for me. Maybe in the eyes of this ordinary wife of the bureau chief Come on, at my age, I must love western food. I sat down, and I was not polite. In fact, what Liu Zheng said was quite right. After a night of adventures and twists and turns, my stomach has indeed started to growl. To be honest, this breakfast is the warmest and most enjoyable one I have eaten in the past few days.Both Liu Zheng and I ate very quickly. If we use an idiom to describe it, the idiom of wind and clouds is the most appropriate.Mrs. Liu Zheng was busy adding food for us, while looking at us and smiling slightly.Maybe she must be thinking in her heart how the two of us eat like refugees who have been hungry for many days? After dinner, Liu Zheng drove to Zijinxiang Flower Market. I prayed secretly in the car, I hope we can find something this time.
