Chapter 50: The Troubled Professor Jeffrey

Half an hour later, when the police who received the notice arrived at Lincoln Avenue and urgently cordoned off the surrounding streets and beaches, investigators at the scene soon found the torn shirt and shorts of the man who had gnawed his face on South Beach, and the police found the other party's driver's license in the man's shorts, confirming that the man was a local named Eugene Ruiz. In the subsequent investigation, the police found the simple bathroom where Eugene had stayed according to the accounts of witnesses at the scene, and found some white powder suspected to be drugs.

"He may have overdosed, but I've never seen such a powerful drug!"

The technician in charge of surveying the scene said with emotion to the police officer who was waiting on the side. He took the paint from his toolbox and collected the white powder that was scattered on the toilet floor, little by little.

"What is this, cocaine?"

A police officer curiously picked up a plastic bag containing a small amount of white powder and casually asked the forensic officer he was familiar with.

"I don't know, I've never heard that cocaine can turn people into zombies, so I thought it would be best to send it to the FBI's lab. Let them tell me what these things are?"

……

Just as Miami was in a panic over the serious violence, a few days later, thousands of miles away, in the pharmacology laboratory of Imperial College London, Professor Jeffrey was assisting the London police in measuring the active ingredients of a new drug called Chinese bailiu.

The samples sent by Officer Osborne were not pure, and most of the impurities had been successfully isolated by Professor Jeffrey. After some investigation, he found that the impurities were very similar to the main components of an industrial cutting agent originating in China. It seems that this is the fundamental reason why this drug is called China white.

"Cutting agent? What's that?"

Osborne's detailed explanation with a confused face asked Professor Buoyancy for advice.

"Well, to put it simply, this kind of thing is used to cool the cutter head on the machine. Because the scenario is different, many cutting agents have different formulations. This time, the impurities we found were a cutting agent produced in China, which is mainly soluble in water, cheap, chemically stable, and most importantly, it is also a non-toxic organic compound......"

Professor Jeffrey patiently explained to Officer Osborne.

"So, what is the role of these cutting agents in this drug?"

"It's useless, this kind of thing will completely turn into carbon dioxide and water after burning, and it will not be absorbed by the human body, if you have to ask about the use of this kind of thing, I think it is to dilute the active ingredients in this drug!"

"And what ...... are you talking about the active ingredient?"

Osborne anxiously pressed Professor Jeffrey into question.

"I'm sorry, but I still haven't found a clue about this thing. I asked all the pharmacologists and pharmaceutical engineers I knew, and none of them had ever seen this compound. It's a brand new, new organic compound that I've never seen before. Its effective structure is somewhat similar to that of fentanyl, but its effects far exceed those of fentanyl. To put it simply, this thing is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than traditional fentanyl, and I really don't know how serious the consequences would be if someone smoked the drug made from this thing......

Professor Jeffrey said to Osborne with a grim face. Truth be told, he felt that he should be grateful for the gentle reminder from the dealer who had provided the drug, "Don't dilute the agent without protection," and Professor Jeffrey felt that even a little bit of the high concentration of the drug might be dead by now.

"Jeffrey, I hope you'll promise me to find out where this compound came from as soon as possible, I don't want to be left behind the Japanese every time. Promise me, Jeffrey, it's about the dignity of our passing through the British police......"

Seeing Professor Jeffrey's hesitation, Osborne had to lower his posture and take the initiative to plead with the other party.

"Okay, Osborne, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I'll do my best!"

Although Jeffrey felt a little embarrassed, but this was the first time he saw the proud Osborne take the initiative to lower his profile and ask himself, as a partner who had been working happily together for many years, Jeffrey could not say no words of refusal now.

After seeing off Officer Osborne, Professor Jeffrey couldn't help but regret his impulsive decision. He turned on his computer, clicked into his usual mailbox, and browsed through the new emails with anticipation.

Although Professor Jeffrey's email contains many unread emails, unfortunately none of them are related to the unknown compound he consulted. Frustrated, Professor Jeffrey had to abandon the idea and instead rewrite an email to the Royal Society of Chemistry for help.

When the melodious chime of Big Ben was heard again in the distance, Professor Geoffrey happened to send his mail to the mailbox of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He habitually looked up at the time on his computer, and then began to stand up, gather his personal belongings, and prepare to go home.

Just as Professor Jeffrey was about to close the apps on his computer one by one, all of a sudden, a letter appeared in his inbox. Surprised, Professor Jeffrey instinctively clicked on the email, only to find the molecular formula that had been giving him a headache all along.

"Dear Professor Jeffrey, I take the liberty of asking you about the origin of this compound, I am a researcher in a laboratory of the United States Department of Justice, and I remember seeing your e-mail from my teacher asking about this compound. As it happens, I was recently performing a chemical analysis of an unknown drug found in a case when I stumbled upon the compound you were looking for. It's a maddening drug, it has a similar structure to fentanyl, but it's far more potent than fentanyl, if you know the whereabouts of this drug, I hope you can contact me soon......"

At the end of the email, there was a link attached to the end, and Professor Jeffrey opened the link in curiosity, only to see a creepy news - "Zombies are eating people on the streets of Miami!"
