Sean noticed that the cliff above which the fortifications had been built on one side had recently been destroyed, revealing a fresh layer of earth. The top layer was an organic mixture, something he expected to come across. And below is a layer of white sand, which is also normal. But the next layer is a reddish band. It looks like rust, then a layer of sand, and a strip of red rust underneath the sand, just like on the beach. Sean stared at Theresa and rolled his eyes and said, "I'm in a bit of a hurry, go pee, I'll be back soon." ”；

"Don't lose it. Theresa obviously had a tacit understanding with him, and said a little out of tune.

Sean walked around the foot of the hill when Eric's voice sounded from behind, "Why did he go?", and then Theresa's voice rang out, saying, "Don't mind, when I let him pee, pee far away, I don't want to see anything!" ......; Sean picks up a piece of dead wood and stabs it into the grassy vertical cliff face. The black mixture and the grass fell, and he could see the red and white layers.

Sean then picked up a handful of reddish-brown dirt, and saw that it was actually a mixture of sand and earth, perhaps containing iron oxides. It looked a lot like the dirt on Tom and Viddy's running shoes, Sean carefully let go of his eyes, followed the footprint heat tracking, inspected the area, followed him to find some interesting traces, silently memorized in his mind, and then he put a pinch of red clay in his pocket, turned around, and walked back.

Then, everyone re-boarded the bus and drove away. People have inertia, so almost everyone sits in their original position. Dr. Eric, on the other hand, was standing. The bus heads west and returns to the ferry terminal and the main yàn room. An acceleration truck carrying two security guards in blue uniforms passed by the car in which Sean and the others were riding. Drive in the opposite direction.

All in all, Sean learned more than he thought he would know, even more than he had hoped. Hearing enough to make him more and more curious. Now Sean is convinced of the reason why Tom and Vidi were killed, on this island. And, Sean is sure that he knows why, and will eventually find out who did it, and catch the killer.

There was no speech along the way, and it could be said that there had been silence for a long time, when Theresa asked, "Are you sure that Mr. and Mrs. Barty left in their own boat yesterday at noon?";

"Absolutely. According to the work log, they worked in the biodig area that morning, then signed it out, took a shower, got on a bus like this and drove them to the ferry terminal, where there were at least two of us. I saw them get on their own boat, the 'Tuna', heading for the San Francisco Bay Area. ”；

Theresa asked, "Did anyone from the helicopter or patrol boat see them disembarking in the Channel?"

Eric shook his head and said, "No." I asked. ”

Sean asked from the side, "Is there any place on the coastline where a boat could be hidden?";

"Absolutely not. There is no deep harbor in the Sunshine Islands, no coves, only straight beaches. The small harbor in which the ferry comes in is man-made. Eric said.

Sean nodded and said, "If your patrol boat sees the Barty couple's boat anchored somewhere near the island, will your people chase them away?";

"No, actually, the Bartis sometimes anchor off the coast of Sunny Isles, fishing or swimming. The guards on patrol were well acquainted with them. Dr. Eric said.

Sean didn't know that Mr. and Mrs. Barty were such fanatical fishermen. He then asked, "Have your people ever seen them stop near the beach after dark, or late at night?";

Dr. Eric thought for a moment before replying, "Only once did they get our attention...... Two of us on the patrol boat, we mentioned that the Batty couple's boat docked near South Beach one night in July, about midnight. Our men noticed that the ship was empty. Pathfinder lights above illuminate the beach. Mr. and Mrs. Barty ...... on the beach, and Eric cleared his throat and then muttered to the crowd, hinting at what Mr. and Mrs. Barty were doing on the beach. Then he said: "The patrol boat did not disturb them, and departed." ”。

Sean listened, thinking quickly in his head. Tom and Wadi seemed to him like the kind of couple who would have sex anywhere, so it wasn't unusual to go to a deserted beach at night. But doing it on the beach in Sunny Isles made him suspicious and led to several questions. Can it be said that they discovered the patrol boat, and what was they hiding with the intimate act of making love? Sean thought it was very likely.

The buses pass through the Transition Terminal and then turn north and stop in an oval driveway, with the main building in front of them. The curved front of the new Art Deco two-storey building is made of bricks with hints of pink and brown. A large sign emerges from the lawn with the words "Ministry of Agriculture" written on it. There is also a flag of the United States that has been raised with a half-pole raised.

As everyone stepped out of the bus, Dr. Eric turned back and said, "I hope you have a nice trip to Sunny Isles, and have a good impression of our security arrangements." ”；

Sean asked, "What kind of security guard are you talking about?"

Dr. Eric smiled and stared at Sean as he said, "Everyone who works here is well aware of the potential dangers. We are all security conscious and we all work hard to make security on this land the highest level!"

After that, Dr. Eric looked at his watch and said, "Okay, we can go in now, come with me." ”；

The semi-circular hall of the Sunshine Island Building is two stories high. There is a mezzanine around the central staircase. It was a light and airy space, friendly and pleasant. Sean reckoned that the animals that had suffered from bad luck might have come in from behind.

On the left wall is a standard photograph of the administrative system of the government, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary General and Dr. Raul # Clinton; This led people to think that Dr. Clinton might be a central figure in the oval office.

No matter what the important people present think, there is a reception desk here. They all had to sign and register, and then exchange their blue pin-button pass for a white pass with a plastic chain and hang it around their necks. This security program is good. The island is divided into two halves, this building and the rest of the building. Inside the building is the biocontrol area. Sean secretly reminds himself that he shouldn't underestimate Eric, a doctor who looks like a madman.

A pretty young lady in a knee-length skirt came downstairs, and the crowd didn't have time to look at her thighs. She introduced herself as Harry #Alba, Dr. Clinton's assistant. She smiled and said, "Dr. Clinton will be there soon." In the meantime, I'll take you around. ”；

Eric, who was next to him, said to the crowd, "I'll take this opportunity to check in on my office and see if there's anything new." Harry will take good care of you. By the way, please feel free to stay with Ms. Alba. ”；

"What if I'm going to go into the men's bathroom?" Sean said.

"You've been on it. Eric then walked up the stairs.

Sean turned his face to look at Harry. Twenty-five or six years old. Dark brown hair, light dark skin, beautiful face and figure, blue t-shirt, white smock, wearing running shoes. Sean could see that if you consider the possibility of taking a boat to work every day and going somewhere on the island. High heels are less practical.

Afterward, Harry asks everyone to introduce themselves, and they do, but does not name any disturbing professional titles, such as homicide detectives. A prefix or suffix like FBI.

The pretty chick shook hands and gave Theresa a special smile. Women judge people so badly, especially pretty, Sean thought to himself.

Harry said: "Welcome to the Sunny Island Animal Disease Research Center Building. I'm sure Eric has given you a brief introduction to the history of the island and had a great trip. ”；

She had always maintained a natural smile on her face, but this naturalness, Sean could tell that it was barely made. Then Harry said, "I'm very ...... What happened was horrible. I really like Mr. and Mrs. Barty, everybody loves them. She glanced around, just like people at the police station, and added, "I don't want to discuss or comment on this, but I should talk about how I feel." ”；

Theresa glanced at Sean, then at Harry. Sean immediately pointed at the other two policemen and said, "These two are good friends of Tom and Viddy. The two men were obviously not very stupid, and although their faces were not sad, they nodded.

Sean continued: "We are grateful for any help and cooperation we have received from the staff here. ”；

Harry nodded and said, "I'll take you around, come with me." ”；

The crowd walked around the hall for a moment. Harry pointed to all sorts of things on the wall, including explosive news reports, stories about mad cow disease, rinderpest, swine fever and other horrible diseases from around the world, and terrible maps. Diagrams, paintings, and photographs show cows with water bumps on their lips and sticky saliva coming out of their mouths, and pigs with disgusting, oozing ulcers.

Harry's attention was then drawn to the door at the back of the hall. These doors are painted with special signs, warning yellow, the same color as Sunny Isles on the map, and stand out in most of the halls painted gray. On the left door is a sign that reads: "Women's Locker Room", and on the right is "Men's Locker Room", and both doors are marked with the words "No Permission to Enter".

"These doors lead to the biocontrol zone. This hall and administrative offices are actually separate from the biocontrol building, although they appear to belong to the same building. But in fact, it is the two locker rooms that connect this area with the biocontrol area. ”；

Theresa asked, "Is there any other way to get in and out of the biocontrol zone?"

"You can come in through the back of the house. Animals, feed, supplies and all vehicles enter from there. But you can't get out from there. All people and objects must go through the disinfection area, including the shower, before they can come out. ”；

Sean said, "The product of the dissection, the scrap, and so on. How to deal with it?";

"Pass guò cremation or designated pipes!" Harry said, "That's it, go through these two doors, and there's a logistics door behind you." Pipes and cremators, and on the roof, special air filters trap the smallest viruses. It is a very tight building. ”；

Sean and the others, each considering their own opinion about the Bartys. On the issue of stealing items from the real yàn room.

Harry continued: "The locker room belongs to Zone 1, like this hall. But when you leave the locker room and enter the second area, you have to put on the white clothes of the real yàn room. When you come out of the second, third, fourth and back to the first district, you have to take a shower. The bathroom is in the second area. ”；

"Is the bathroom for men and women?" asked Sean with a smile.

"Of course not. Harry said, "I know you have to be naked when you want to enter Zones 2 and 3, and if you want to enter, Sector 4 is the same. ”；

Theresa asked, "Are you coming with us?";

Harry shook his head and smiled, "They won't pay me for that. ”；

Sean suddenly asked, "Why don't we strip naked and go into the Fifth Zone?";

She looked at Sean. A little surprised, he said, "District Five, why do you want to go there?";

"I don't know. Because it's there. Sean quoted a famous quote.

Harry shook his head and said, "Only a dozen or so people have the right to enter the fifth sector. You've got to wear that spacesuit! It's federal government!";

"Do Barty and his wife have the right to enter District Five?" asked Sean, seeing Harry nod. Then he asked, "What does District 5 do?"

"You should ask Dr. Clinton this question. Harry glanced at his watch and said, "Please follow me." ”；

Sean and the others walked up the stairs, and the group began to wander through the wings on either side of the two-story hall. Everything is painted the same light gray or dark gray. This replaces the disgusting green color of the old federal building. On the wall of the corridor are photographs of past directors of the real yàn room, scientists and researchers.

It was also noted that almost all the doors in the corridor were closed, with numbers on them, but no names and their purposes were indicated. Except for the real yàn outdoor. Very good policing.

Follow the crowd into the library of the research institute. A few intellectual-looking people are "studying hard" in front of the double-sided bookshelves, or watching at their desks. "It's one of the best reading rooms of its kind in the world," Harry said. ”；

Harry retrieved a stack of pamphlets, press releases, and other promotional materials from a long table and handed them to us.

Sean took the three-fold booklet and looked down. It had titles like "Swine Cholera," "African Swine Fever," "African Equine Disease," and "Pellagra," and she gave each of them a monthly journal called Agricultural Research. Its cover features a thrilling story titled: "Sexual Messages and Fruit Worms." ”；

Part II. Everyone saw the auditorium, and then came to the café on the third floor, a clean and beautiful modern room with large windows. From there you can see the lighthouse, the narrow strait, and the eastern corner. Harry handed everyone coffee, and Sean and the others all sat at a round table, and the entire dining room was almost empty.

After a few minutes of small talk, Harry said, "The researchers in the biocontrol area faxed their lunch menu to the kitchen, because it wasn't worth taking a bath for it, as we call it here: "Out of the bath." Someone sends all the dishes into the second area, and then the person who delivers the food has to take a bath. These scientists are very conscientious, working eight to ten hours a day in the biocontrol zone. I don't know how they can do it. ”

Sean asked, "Those scientists, would they order something like beef, ham or lamb from the kitchen?"

Harry said, "I want to ...... I dated a researcher who loved steak. ”

Sean added, "Does he dissect sick or rotting cows?";

"yes, I think he's used to that. Harry said.

Sean nodded, and couldn't help but think that the Barty couple also dissected. He said, "Theresa come out with me! I'm sorry, everybody. ”。

The two walked through the aisles next to the two break rooms. They stood in sealed corridors. The break room seems more likely to be eavesdropped on than the hallway. "They could say they were working together and showed us the full range of facilities on the island except for Zone 5," Sean said. In fact, it would take several days to search the entire building. It takes a week to interrogate the staff. ”；

Theresa nodded, "We'll have to assume that the people here are as anxious as we are to find out if something and what's missing. Let's believe that. Because this is specially approved by the government, we can't arbitrarily enforce the law for the time being!";

"I've never been brutal in law enforcement...... I don't think they would have sued us if they had found out or had known what the Barty had stolen. ”

"So what? We're investigating a homicide. Theresa said.

"I'll soon know who the murderer is. Sean said.

Theresa was a little overjoyed and said, "Really, in an ordinary case, involving national security, if they sue you something, you are very lucky." For us there was nothing to check on the island. They accuse the island, the victim's workplace, while we accuse the crime scene, the victim's home. But I guess they didn't care who killed the Bartys. They just wanted to make sure that the Bartys didn't kill anyone else in the country. ”；
