Pengcheng.

The basement of a building.

"Mr. Liang" looked at the several display screens, and the people from the information collection and analysis department sorted out the briefings sent from all over the country, and quickly sifted through them.

These briefings are unusual and strange things that have happened in various places in a few days, and the relevant staff will conduct preliminary screening and analysis, and then submit them to him for a decision to see whether to send a field team to conduct further investigation, or the information team to continue to follow up and do more detailed information mining.

In today's mobile Internet, a large number of users post all kinds of strange things, monsters, and strange information every day, or text, or pictures, or videos, in various forms.

However, most of the information is obviously fake news, and it is not difficult to distinguish and filter.

Even computer AI can help filter out most of the invalid information through preset rules.

But because the total amount of information is too large, the workload of manual screening is still not small, after all, "Mr. Liang" has very strict requirements for work, and they are not allowed to deal with it at will.

And the people in the information collection and analysis department don't want to lose this extremely well-paid job, so they are very careful and hardworking.

The information that can be brought to "Mr. Liang" is basically certain and true, and the staff will make a briefing note on the results of the preliminary investigation through the Internet and other channels and submit it to him for further judgment.

What "Mr. Liang" wants to judge is naturally whether there is a "blood-eating creature" hidden behind these events.

Of course, even after a round of screening and preliminary investigations, the vast majority of the briefings have nothing to do with "blood-eating creatures".

"Mr. Liang" quickly makes a choice, just raise his hand and swipe in front of the screen, without touching it.

His hand stopped before a briefing, which was the latest news of the day, from a personal account on a social media.

The incident happened in Star City, and the source said that his friend accidentally fell into the river yesterday, and then something very strange happened, his friend was "voluntarily" thrown ashore by the river, and his friend also said that there seemed to be something in the river.

At that time, there was a fog on the river, and the street lights along the way also dimmed, which was very weird.

After he returned home, he checked the public news and folk tales that had happened by the river in the past ten or twenty years, and felt that there might be something in the river.

But this thing saved his friend, and it should be a good thing.

This news did not make any splash on social media, did not cause any discussion and attention, after all, there was no picture or video, and the person who sent the message was not a big V, only a few of the person's original friends forwarded and discussed.

However, the people in the information collection department, through other channels, found that the experience he talked about may not be different in the basic facts, so they made a briefing and uploaded it to "Mr. Liang".

In addition to the message posted by the man on social media, the briefing also contained surveillance footage of the person being illegally parked on the side of the road at the time of the incident, which was found by someone from the information department.

It can be seen from the surveillance video that three men and one woman got out of the car one after another, and after more than ten minutes, the three people helped a drenched man back and got into the car to leave.

From another angle of monitoring, you can also see that the whole process of the man falling into the river is obviously not an accidental fall into the river, but an active jump into the river, which seems to be a couple quarreling and impulsive.

I also saw the change in the brightness of the street lights when the other two men got out of the car and the three ran along the embankment.

It's a pity that I was not able to photograph the specific situation on the river, and I couldn't see the picture of the man who jumped into the river being thrown ashore.

But these can already prove part of the authenticity of the message posted by the person on social media.

"Mr. Liang" carefully checked the two sections of surveillance again, thoughtfully.

Is it a "blood-eating creature" born in the water?

No, if it's a creature in the water, it shouldn't save people.

But if it is a "blood-eating creature" mutated by humans, why is it in the water?

Or does this have nothing to do with "blood-eating creatures"?

It is possible that the man who jumped into the river regretted it after falling into the water and swam ashore by himself, after all, the speed of the water in that section of the river basin should not be fast. But because he was concerned about his face, he told his companion that he was thrown ashore by the water, and he used the excuse that there was something in the river to divert his companion's attention. As for the street lamps and the fog on the river, a reasonable explanation can also be found.

"Mr. Liang" swiped the briefing to the right and left it, ready to go back and arrange for someone to follow up and investigate.

Generally, if there is a high degree of certainty that there are "blood-eating creatures" infested, he will directly send a field investigation team to conduct field investigations, just like the reaction after the incident in the Qinling No Man's Land and Wushu Mountain.

Sometimes, of course, he does it himself.

Just as "Mr. Liang" was about to continue browsing other briefings, an external call request appeared on one of the LCD screens, showing "Ho Haomin".

"Mr. Liang" thought for a few seconds before answering the call request.

"Ah Liang?" a deep male voice sounded.

"I'm here. "Mr. Liang" replied in his trademark, metallic voice.

"Are you still in Pengcheng?"

"In. ”

"I heard that you have confirmed that the fire-burning flying object that appeared on February 14 in Zihuan Mountain, Thornton City, Haixi Province, is the 'giant bird of prey' that caused tourists to fall off a cliff in Wushu Mountain earlier?"

"Yes. ”

"Where is it now?"

"Not sure for the time being, still investigating. ”

The voice on the other side suddenly became a little stern: "Have you forgotten the regulations? Any 'blood-eating organism' that may endanger the safety of the people's lives and property must be controlled and monitored as necessary; any 'blood-eating organism' that has endangered the safety of the people's lives and property must take compulsory measures to prevent the harm from continuing to occur!"

"Mr. Liang" replied, "I have already sent an investigation team......"

On the other side, he immediately interrupted him: "Dr. Fang's investigation team, don't fool me, I've seen the staffing of her investigation team, and she doesn't have any ability to take coercive measures, and you don't plan to let them capture the 'mutant raptor' at all." ”

Indeed, compared to the field investigation team that entered the Qinling Mountains, the investigation team led by Fang Pingfang had too shabby staffing, and they had no ability to capture big birds at all.

"That Guo Tianxiang in Yangcheng, you didn't find out in advance, it's not your fault, after all, he hid it well. But these 'blood-eating creatures' who have already done harmful things and have been exposed to their whereabouts, you must pay attention to them. The man named He Haomin on the other side slowed down his tone and became serious: "Ah Liang, I won't interfere in specific research...... You can't meddle either, it's up to you to grasp these things yourself, but there are some things that you have to pay attention to. For the kind of 'blood-eating organisms' that have shown great harm, no matter what kind of research plan you have, you can't adopt the method of 'stocking', and you must have a bottom line in doing research. Don't forget, it was Academician Shen who guaranteed you to do this at the beginning, and although Academician Shen is no longer here, I hope you don't let him down...... There are still many people who trust you. ”

"Mr. Liang" listened to the words of the other side in silence before saying, "Lao He, don't worry, I will personally go and track that bird." ”

After the call, "Mr. Liang" brought up an operation interface, entered a string of codes representing the "giant raptor", and asked the computer to deduce and predict the area where it is likely to appear now based on the information it already knows. The forecasts are then sent to the information-gathering department, which then selects the most likely outcome through manpower investigation and analysis.

He Haomin's guess is actually correct, for the "giant bird of prey", "Mr. Liang" does have the idea of "stocking" and doing some related experiments and research.

However, it was not that he deliberately let the "giant raptor" go, but he did not chase it with all his might.

Because he had some guesses about the "giant bird of prey", but he couldn't tell his researchers and field staff about these guesses, and he couldn't tell Lao He either.

Now that Lao He has issued a very harshly worded warning, he must prioritize the "giant raptor".

He knew that Lao He's support was very important to him.

While waiting for feedback from the information collection department, "Mr. Liang" rolled his eyeballs without eyelids, and his eyes fell on the rabbit wood carving on a metal platform next to him.

He has been staying in this building since Chinese New Year's Eve, spending most of his time studying this wood carving, he believes that there is a problem with this wood carving, it must be related to some "blood-eating creature", but no matter what way it is, he can't find where the problem is.

He also pretended to be "asleep", lying motionless, relaxing his whole body for hours, but not "dreaming", let alone seeing hallucinations.

He also tried to ask the driver Lao Xie to help with the experiment, and when Lao Xie was asleep, he put the wood carving next to him, but when he woke up, he didn't even have a dream.

It was this wood sculpture that could sense his threat, so it "didn't dare" to react.

Or is it because so much time has passed that its "characteristics" have dissipated?

......

"Little Apple" held the mobile phone and listened to the "Learn to Meow" sung by the little chubby girl Liu Shiling yesterday afternoon played inside, and her face showed the same "aunt smile" as Tang Baona and Yang Zhener at that time.

Although the singing is a bit intermittent, there are a lot of forgotten words, and all kinds of meows and meows are confused, strictly speaking, it is not as good as when "Little Apple" first taught her to sing.

But I have to say that the cute and cute voice of the little chubby girl is so cute.

Even if "Little Apple" can't see the video posted by Yang Zhener in the group, the little chubby girl has a somewhat cramped and nervous expression while singing, and she feels very happy just listening to the voice.

Even Professor Li Yang, who walked into the room when he heard the voice, stood on the side, and looked at the content played on his mobile phone, couldn't help but laugh: "This little girl is so cute, it reminds me of you when you were a child, she is the child who lived in Star City that you told me to learn to sing with you, right?"

"Little Apple" said: "Yes, her name is Liu Shiling, we all call her Little Bell, a very cute and sensible little girl." In the past, she lived next to Uncle Xiang's house and knew Uncle Xiang very well, so this time Sister Nana, Sister Zhen'er, and Sister Bing went to Star City with Uncle Xiang and went to play with her. ”

Li Yang nodded, looked at "Jin Shanshan", who was standing on the shoulder of "Little Apple" and seemed to be watching the video together, and asked, "By the way, you often let 'Jin Shanshan' out alone during this time?"

As if hearing a discussion about herself, "Golden Twinkle" chirped, and then flapped her wings and flew to the open birdcage on the table.

"Ah, yes, occasionally I let it go out on its own to breathe, otherwise it may be a little stuffy to keep it in the house with me......" "Little Apple" was a little flustered, and quickly found an excuse to say.

Every time she put "Golden Shining" out to be her "eyes and ears", and traveled around, she was looking for her father when he was not there, and Aunt Yang was also busy, so she thought that her father didn't find out.

"Alas, I'm too busy during this time, I thought I could have time to take you out to play during the winter vacation, but because of the affairs in the department, it was delayed again, but it was busier than when I was in class. Your uncle has also had a lot of things to do during this time, and he has come over less often, and your Aunt Yang also has something to do at home, alas, ......"

Even if "Little Apple" doesn't use her ability to "sense things", she can hear guilt, sorry, and distress from her father's words and voice.

Then she realized that her father probably thought that she hadn't gone out much during this time, and had stayed at home, thinking that she was too lonely and lonely, and didn't want "Golden Flash" to be like her, so he let "Golden Flash" go out by herself, but she couldn't fly and couldn't go out by herself.

She hurriedly said: "Dad, I don't really want to go out recently, there are a lot of things to do at home, I have to help Sister Nana record audio, make a video explaining bird science, learn the computer knowledge sent to my uncle, test Uncle Xiang's voice game with Sister Zhen'er, and teach 'Little Bell' to sing, I have a lot to do at home." ”

Li Yang gently touched his daughter's head and sighed, "I know, you are a good boy." ”

"Little Apple" was helpless, and his father thought he was trying to comfort him.

But she can't tell her dad directly, putting "Jin Shanshan" out, is letting her go out, "Jin Shanshan" is her drone, camera, she is now in the bedroom, but she can know all kinds of things in the city, and even knows a lot of gossip that ordinary people don't know, although the eyes still can't see, but the perception ability is actually far beyond ordinary people.

"Dad, I'm really good, really. "Little Apple" could only be said again in a categorical and affirmative tone.

"Well, I know, I know. Li Yang nodded in response.

However, from his father's tone, "Little Apple" still knew that he didn't really take it seriously.

"But...... If you always let the 'Golden Flash' out, will it not come back, or get lost, or be attacked by other birds...... After all, 'Golden Flash' was raised by you to your uncle, and if you lose it, it's not good. Li Yang said with some concern.

"Little Apple" smiled: "Dad, don't worry, 'Golden Shining' is very clever and will protect himself." Aunt Yang and I have worked so hard to prepare bird food for it, she can't eat it anywhere else, and she is reluctant to leave mine, she will definitely come back, two hundred percent. And Uncle Xiang also knew about letting it out. ”

The "Golden Flash" in the cage over there chirped twice cooperatively, causing Li Yang to look at him in surprise.

"By the way, Little Apple, your uncle said that someone wanted to consult you about the training method of the 'Guide Bird'......" Li Yang remembered what his brother called him before, and said: "It is a police officer from Haixi Province, who knows about the 'Guide Bird' you raised from his classmates at the police academy, oh, his classmate is Officer Xiao Wang, who was the first to arrive last time you called the police at the lake." The police officer from Haixi Province had a friend who worked at a blind school in Haixi Province, and he wanted to help that friend ask. I don't think you have been training 'Golden Flash' very much, does the ability of guiding the blind rely on the unique relationship between you and 'Golden Flash', or can it really be trained? If you can't train it, I'll let your uncle refuse?"
