The old man in white looked back in surprise, but he was quite calm, he probably just didn't expect such a heavy rain, and there would be outsiders in such a desolate place.

Today is a day of great joy, at least for him, after more than 20 years of hard work, he has finally basically realized his lofty ambition and solemn commitment to his teacher, and this feeling can be described as extremely complicated.

During the period, he paid a very unimaginable price, and the sadness and pain of seeing people's faces from left to right also came to his heart at the same time, and every time he couldn't help but ask himself, is it worth it to persist in such an almost crazy way?

After asking, the answer is to keep working hard.

This is him, a Liu Yi who carries the name of an academician on his back, but can only silently cultivate his career on this wasteland in the suburbs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

For Chen Tianyu, who was wearing a heavy raincoat and only showed a small half of his face, Liu Yi should be completely unfamiliar, he had never seen this person.

But a young man next to him had already removed the rain hat from his head, revealing a young and resolute handsome face.

"Mr. Liu, hello!" Xu Jingnan took the initiative to greet him.

Zhou Wengang shone a flashlight on this side, of course, he didn't shine directly on people's faces.

"It turned out to be Officer Xu. He couldn't help but laugh when he could see the man's face in the warm light of his flashlight.

Liu Yi also nodded and said, "Officer Xu, hello, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Xu Jingnanqi said: "I was about to ask this question, Mr. Liu is not working in the research institute, why do you do something strange here in the middle of the night." ”

Zhou Wengang couldn't help but interject: "This is our routine experiment, Brother Xu, where do you say we will get our wages if we don't go to work?"

Xu Jingnan was puzzled: "Routine work?"

Liu Yi said lightly: "Our research was originally top secret, but since your police have investigated here, I won't hide it,...... The experiments that take place here are our core R&D projects—"

He said slowly: "High-performance space engines. ”

Chen Tianyu also slowly took off the raincoat and hat on his head at this time, the rain had stopped temporarily, and he wiped the water on his face casually.

"Mr. Liu, it seems that the records in the archives are not wrong, you are still continuing to study alien technology. But what I don't understand is why your equipment is not arranged in a closely monitored yard, aren't you afraid of any leaks?" Chen Tianyu will not easily let go of the results of a few days of hard work.

"Who is this?" asked Liu Yi first.

Xu Jingnan also lied, he didn't know that the identity of Detective Beiting had already been exposed, but he only knew that Chen Tianyu needed a reasonable investigation identity at this time: "This is my teacher, Officer Chen." ”

Liu Yi nodded, without doubt.

Xu Jingnan said suspiciously: "Mr. Liu, although you said that what is being done now is a daily experiment, but for our police, there are some inscrutable questions, can you trouble Mr. Liu, move to our unit, and cooperate with our investigation?"

Zhou Wengang was about to speak, but Liu Yi was unexpectedly cheerful: "Originally, you didn't come to me, I also thought that I would meet you people with lofty ideals, no problem, I'll go with you." He turned around and whispered a few words to Zhou Wengang, who seemed to be a little unhappy, but still walked in the direction of the dock as he said.

Liu Yi waved his hand, indicating that he would leave with them now.

Chen Tianyu said suddenly: "Mr. Liu, I think so, this time I won't go to the police station first,...... How about inviting Mr. Li to sit down in the Humble House? Director Li happened to have the same idea. ”

Liu Yi seemed stunned, but quickly understood Chen Tianyu's kindness, although it was not a big deal to go to the police station, but as the head of a unit, he rashly went to the police station to be investigated, even if he was above board, it seemed that there was something bad to say.

He accepted this love and expressed his willingness to accept the invitation, and Xu Jingnan was naturally not reluctant.

"Then I'll go and report to Director Li officially. Liu Yi actually made a joke.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at this old man with gray hair, a stiff waist and strong spirits, several people spontaneously had a spontaneous sense of respect, Chen Tianyu politely let Liu Yi sit down in the middle of the sofa in the living room, Li Yiting's injury has not subsided, but he has been waiting for a long time.

Liu Zichen quickly brewed the tea and served it, and then served it to Liu Yi in a large cup alone, and put it in front of him with both hands.

Liu Yi nodded kindly in thanks.

He said slowly: "I'm here to be investigated, so you don't have to be so polite. ”

Li Yiting sat opposite him and said respectfully: "Mr. Liu said with a smile, we really sincerely invite you to have a small gathering here, and by the way, we just want to understand some information." …… You are an academician and a leader of our younger generations, and we should naturally respect you. ”

Liu Yi didn't speak, and sighed after a while: "The future is terrifying." ”

He said solemnly: "Since you have saved enough face for me, I should naturally be more interesting." Besides, there is a murder in the institute, and I am naturally duty-bound, so it is better to take the initiative to explain some things to you, otherwise covering it up will interfere with your police's audio-visual ......."

Chen Tianyu suddenly said: "Mr. Liu may have misunderstood, we are not actually police officers. ”

This time, Liu Yi was surprised, Xu Jingnan and others didn't know why, now they are only one step away from the truth, why did they hide at this time and not confess?

But Li Yiting instantly understood, and he also spoke: "Yes, I am not a director, this is just a former position, and now I am no longer working in the police." ”

Liu Yi still didn't understand their intentions.

Chen Tianyu gently handed over the official approval of the "Beiting Detective Agency", and at present, only this thing can explain all the reasons.

Liu Yi stretched out his hand to take it, he looked at it very carefully and nodded.

"Supreme Procuratorate, Beiting Detective Agency, good, good!" he said two good words in a row, for some reason, he was actually a little excited, and his wrinkled face also stretched.

"I actually haven't figured it out, but now that I think about it, maybe the famous hall here really has to be solved by the procuratorate. He seemed to be talking to himself.

Li Yiting explained: "In fact, we are not from the procuratorate yet......

Liu Yi laughed: "The old man is not confused, it is clearly written on the approval document, your detective agency is just a civilian investigation agency." …… This is very good, and it shows that there are still some people at the top who understand. ”

Several people were a little unsure of the meaning of Liu Yi's words.

"There are some things that it is inconvenient for the police to come forward, and it is also inconvenient for the procuratorial organs to come forward, especially some old cases with some strange unsolved cases?...... Of course, they may not have as much energy to track down, and the new cases that are still happening every day are not enough for them to deal with. You say don't you?"

Chen Tianyu nodded: "Mr. Liu really sees it clearly, I think the authorization given to us by the Supreme People's Procuratorate is probably due to comprehensive considerations in many aspects." ”

Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, although you are only a non-governmental organization, you still represent the will of the procuratorate and the interests of our people, this is no problem, you can let go and act boldly." He seemed to be a little unsatisfied, but suddenly stopped talking, "But today I am here to be investigated, I shouldn't ask about this, if you have any questions, just mention them." ”

Chen Tianyu nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, since this is the case, then let's get down to business." According to the records, the main research topics of the Central and South Branch of the 5578 Research Institute should be extraterrestrial civilizations and abnormal human beings, is this true?" He must get the most accurate answer to this question, otherwise all investigation work seems to have lost its foundation.

Others are also looking forward to the answer from this person himself.

The answer was not too surprising to everyone, Liu Yi sighed lightly: "This is our former ideal, and we have paid a heavy price for this ideal." However, in modern times, these ideals seem too distant and difficult to realize in the short term, so gradually our R&D tasks have become utilitarian and realistic......"

He suddenly fell into distant memories in an instant: "You Pingke, Lu Chunfeng, Han Kuan, Feng Zicai, Yang Hui, Qin Wenyi, Wei Zhengjue, Meng Tianyuan......"

Li Yiting's heart moved, why did the names of these eight people he read sound so familiar, could it be?

"Now that you can see the files, you should know that these eight people have been wiped out of the world, but this is not the case. In fact, they are all my scientific mentors, and they are also the great pioneers of cosmic exploration, and it is they who have paved the way for me to fly. …… In particular, my mentor Meng Tianyuan, when I was just an unknown technician, looked at me differently and took me seriously, and before he died, he repeatedly asked me to fulfill his last wish, for this ...... I have endured humiliation for decades. ”

Liu Yi looked into the distance through the transparent glass window, and said slowly: "Think about my eight mentors, in order to break the confinement of the West, they have developed a domestic space engine, and they have a dream of flying and hatred for Jiuquan;

"And I was left alone, still dreaming of the next flight on Earth. Liu Yi's eyes suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears.

Liu Zichen hurriedly handed him a handkerchief.

Liu Yi nodded and took it, and said with a wry smile: "The feelings of our generation, maybe it is difficult for you juniors to understand, some people think we are too paranoid, and some people think that we are brainwashed, but we are purely voluntary, the country is not rich and strong for a day, we always think that the possibility of enduring humiliation again has not disappeared, and this sense ......of crisis will accompany us all our lives."

Everyone was infected by this tragedy, and they also realized the true meaning of life more, and also unconsciously strengthened the determination of the Beiting detectives to continue walking.

Liu Yi suddenly changed his words, and he sighed: "But what these people say is not completely wrong, we sometimes really ignore life too much, and like to drill the horns of the bull too much, so that we do many wrong things, and even do a lot of bad things." Alas, man, it's so contradictory. If you focus on one thing, you have to ignore the other things, but if you are not focused, how can you achieve the goal? Are you right......"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
