Before leaving China, Wen Huan only did two things, both of which were to find people.

One is to investigate the person who contacted the mother, and try to find the whereabouts of the code paper - but unfortunately, it was not found, and even the voice that the mother heard was probably the result of using a voice changer.

The second is to find the fleeing goth girl, or rather, wait for the other party to come to the door.

The second thing she did was that it didn't take long for the other party to take the initiative to send a message.

"How do you know she's going to look for us?" After hanging up the phone, Tao Qingyang tilted his head curiously.

Wen Huan smiled calmly: "Because the remuneration for the last work has not been settled yet." ”

No wonder she dared to insist that the goth girl wouldn't just disappear like this, and she wouldn't be willing to do so she didn't get the money......

The other party said that because the original nest really couldn't hide, so he decided to temporarily transit in Los Angeles, and if he could adapt to it, he would live there, and he couldn't go abroad by boat, wherever he wanted, the farther the better.

Calculating the time, the time they came to Los Angeles was about the same as that of the goth girl, no wonder Wen Huan was in a hurry to find each other, and if it was later, he might not be able to contact him by boat.

Two o'clock in the morning, noisy speakeasy.

There is no hoarse roaring of bands on a small stage, only drunken drunkards, and there is no need for accompaniment here, and the sound of quarrels and roars is the best music.

"How do you hide like a rat in the sewers?" Flashing past a big man who couldn't walk steadily under the influence of alcohol, Wen Huan approached the bar counter with bullet holes and patted the shoulder of a woman who killed Matt.

The goth woman's appearance became more and more bizarre, with dark nails, dark lips, and hair that stood on end, as if stepping on an electric door, but Lily only covered half of her face with a cloak of the same color, and a few strands of clean blonde hair slipped out of the hood.

No one thought they were dressed strangely, and anyway, in this place, even if they didn't wear anything, no one would pay much attention.

At this time, Tao Qingyang is sleeping in the hotel, and Du Tangtang has already bought a supper and returned to the house on the outskirts of the city, everything is very quiet.

Only Wen Huan came here quietly.

In the end, she decided to go alone, and before leaving, she was entangled by Tao Qingyang, and discussed the question of "life is incomplete if you can share happiness and hardship" and "do you still love me", and then Wen Huan promised to come back before six o'clock in the morning, and then she would call the police if she didn't see anyone, and she was willing to let go.

The goth woman turned around, saw that it was Wen Huan, and immediately stretched out a hand and said, "The last time's remuneration, first say yes, only accept cash." ”

"Do one more thing for me, and settle the bill together twice." Wen Huan smiled, sat next to her and said the purpose straight to the point, ignoring the bartender's recommendation.

God knows if you drink something in this place, you will drink something with strange illegal spices.

"What?" The goth girl frowned, because the noise around her was too loud, and Wen Huan's words were not very clear.

Lily, who was silent, paid for the two of them, leaned close to the goth girl's ear and said, "Let's go back." ”

Leaving the speakeasy, the place where Wen Huan went was not a safe place to live, but an even more dilapidated basement, surrounded by stowaways as neighbors.

Goth women are not poor, they can be said to be quite rich, but they just go where they are, and they definitely don't find a normal home for themselves.

"It's the safest place to be." She helped Wen Huan show the way and led the person into the room.

Wen Huan lowered his head, not letting his head touch the low ceiling. Most hackers are good enough to rely on their own skills, but the Gothic women are not taboo, they take any job, they make a lot of money, and there are many people who are offended.

"Why don't you consider changing your career direction?" Wen Huan means that she can completely whitewash herself and find an honest job, and she can also help some companies do network maintenance.

Sitting against the moldy wallpaper, the goth woman turned on the computer and shook her head: "It's too late to change now." What do you want me to do? ”

She has only one strength, Wen Huan came to the door, it wouldn't be for her to perform a song and dance, right?

Lily also returned to her place and took on the task of surveillance.

“…… About twelve years ago, when the laboratory bombing at the University of Washington occurred, I asked for all the information about the pair of scientists who lost their lives. Wen Huan said slowly, "It would be better if I could get information about the experiments they conducted from the school." ”

With her prompting, the goth girl searched for the news.

Although a long time has passed, at the time, the impact of the bombings was considerable. The explanation given by the school was that the tragedy was caused by improper storage of experimental raw materials.

The click of tapping on the keyboard sounded, the goth woman had a comparable hand speed, and swept the screen at a glance, Wen Huan waited patiently for the result, looked left and right, and really couldn't find a place to sit, so she simply sat on an abandoned host.

"There was a lot of talk about the bombings back then...... But I think you've seen it all. Check it out on the school's intranet. The last words of the goth girl were for Lily.

According to the news, most of the academic projects in the university are funded by investors and jointly researched by the school, and the research group where Mu Yi's parents were at the time is a typical example, but after the goth girl invaded the school database, no relevant records were found.

In other words, no one knows what they were working on back then.

"How so......" Wen Huan muttered, "Is it because too much time has passed?" ”

The goth woman looked at the screen and replied, "Probably not, as far as I know, the University of Washington has been working on data digitization for a long time, and most of the old files are stored in computers...... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the relevant data was destroyed after the bombing, and there is no way to save it. That's all you can get. ”

After speaking, she looked at Wen Huan and waited for her next instruction.

Wen Huan, who was gnawing his nails and thinking, didn't receive her eyes, "...... No, there is another way. You look up the school's purchase list for that year. ”

Want to find a different way?

The goth woman nodded and turned away.

The sound of the clatter sounded again, and the sound of the second hand of the clock in the room sang and harmonized, as if it would never stop.

……

The dutiful alarm clock screamed heartbreakingly, and Tao Qingyang curled up in the pillow to fumble with his mobile phone. A hand grabbed the front and pressed the timer, and her movements paused, and she immediately came to her senses.

The first rays of sunlight outside the window squeezed a ray of light out of the tall buildings, and there was nothing special about the foreign morning because of the familiar people.

Looking at the person who had just woken up with a smile, Wen Huan supported the edge of the bed with one hand, and half of his body hung over Tao Qingyang's head, "Good morning." ”

"Morning ......" Tao Qingyang rubbed his eyes, suddenly noticed something, and asked, "You haven't slept all night?" ”

The other half of the bed was neat and tidy, and there were no signs of movement.

Wen Huan shook his head, indicating that he was not too sleepy.

Sure enough, I just came back.

Tao Qingyang yawned and got out of bed to wash, "You hurry up and make up for sleep." ”

Lying in the place where Tao Qingyang slept, Wen Huan didn't feel sleepy, and greeted, "What do you want to eat?" The breakfast buffet at this hotel was pretty good. ”

"Hmm...... Either way. Tao Qingyang had a toothbrush in his mouth and hurriedly finished washing, "What do you want, I'll help you get it later." ”

Wen Huan thought for a while and replied, "I don't really want to sleep, why don't I go downstairs with you, we still have a task after dinner." ”

Recently, she has less and less time to rest and more and more time to wake up, Tao Qingyang's sleep quality is very good, but it can't be shared with her.

Not only did I sleep less, but I also ate less.

Tao Qingyang was already hungry because of last night's bumps, and he ate two fried eggs in a row, and Wen Huan poked the yolk with a fork again and again, and his mind didn't know where it had gone.

"Eat."

"Oh...... Not too hungry. ”

The speed of replying was also very slow, Tao Qingyang forcibly took the toast and sausages to her, brought them to the front, and threatened: "Eat!" Otherwise, the good figure is gone, and the front and back are flat! ”

Wen Huan took a slow bite of his own food.

"Wait a minute, we're going to visit Mu Yi." After eating, Wen Huan looked tired, but his voice was full of spirit, and he went upstairs to get a document wrapped in a plastic cover, and stopped the car to go to the outskirts of the city.

Tao Qingyang heard her report her destination, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "It's so far...... Is it easy to take a taxi when you come back? ”

"If all goes well, we won't have to come back." Wen Huan blinked mysteriously.

According to the address provided by Du Tangtang, the taxi left the city of Los Angeles and finally arrived when Tao Qingyang's need for toilets reached the point of madness.

The taxi did not stop directly in front of the villa, and he still needed to walk for more than ten minutes by himself, and Tao Qingyang walked very painfully.

It was a very old house, and all the windows were gray because it had been left unattended for many years. Du Tangtang only wiped the inside of the window yesterday, and before she had time to wipe the outside, she was now standing at the door, obviously waiting for a while.

"Yesterday I took care of this with Mu Yi, and she agreed to talk to you." Seeing Wen Huan coming, Du Tangtang smiled, glanced at Tao Qingyang again, pointed to the room with a clear expression, and said, "The toilet is inside." ”

"Thank you!" Tao Qingyang immediately ran wildly.

Wen Huan smiled back at her, "So hidden? Let me take a taxi and walk again, just to not reveal the doctor's address. ”

"No way, the company asks." Du Tangtang spread his hands helplessly, "It's already difficult to get you over." ”

She was telling the truth, and for fear of leaking the content of the research, Beaton asked that Mu Yi not be allowed to contact others during this time.

Tao Qingyang solved his personal problem, and when he came out of the toilet, he walked through the living room and found that there was an extra woman inside. Long curly hair with a somewhat messy beauty, Garfield-like round eyes, looking at himself unhappily.

"Yes...... Dr. Mu? She asked tentatively.

Mu Yi nodded, and deliberately glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "I heard my bodyguard say, you have ten minutes to explain the purpose." ”

This one...... It's really cold and unkind.

Tao Qingyang couldn't care about sighing, and thought of a rather serious question: Wen Huan didn't return last night, but he didn't know what she had found!

“…… Nine minutes to go. Mu Yi said coldly.

"Hello, I'm Wen Huan." A person walked in outside the door, standing side by side with Tao Qingyang, smiling very gently and harmlessly.

Mu Yi lowered his eyes: "Eight minutes." ”

Hearing this, Wen Huan laughed softly, and Wen Huan said to himself: "The legendary scientist is really rigorous. ”

Du Tangtang walked behind Mu Yi and whispered, "These two people are my friends and are very reliable. ”

Mu Yi's expression softened a little, and he was still sitting upright.

"Then I'll cut to the chase." Taking out a document from her bag, Wen Huan put it in front of her, "This is the University of Washington's procurement list." ”

"That's what you're telling me very important?" Mu Yi didn't take the document, turned his head and asked Du Tangtang.

“…… Twelve years ago. Wen Huan added.

Then Mu Yi's eyes became more rounded, and he involuntarily flipped through them in his hand.

"It's a pity that I didn't find the specifics of your parents' research, but in the school's files, I found a list of items purchased for that year."

It is all some of the routine experimental equipment of the university, and the reagents purchased are also very common, including the things specially supplied to various research institutes, and there is no abnormality.

Because it was a school research, Mu Yi's parents would definitely not do dangerous experiments, and the project they were responsible for was funded by other companies, and every expenditure had to be reported, so it was quite clear to check.

The absence of anomalies is the biggest anomaly.

It was a long time ago, and where the accounts were not clear, she also calculated what she might buy by inquiring about the prices of the year.

Mu Yi's witnesses and the news of the year can confirm one thing - the scale of the explosion was not small, and it almost destroyed a building. But Wen Huan looked through the list of two years before and after, and did not find anything that could cause an explosion.

Even if nitroglycerin was homemade, the school did not buy enough nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

"The death of your parents...... Maybe it's not that simple. ”
