Chapter XVII
"Shall we just go back? Just really take a look? Tang Tian looked at the research institute behind him from his seat and wondered.
"It's just an excuse to see how the antibodies are going, I just want to see Bingert again." Su Ming replied.
"Are you sure she'......"
"That's right, her acting skills today are very good, but there are flaws. This woman is flustered or has mood swings and likes to push her glasses. And sometimes the eyes dare not look at us. β
"Su Ming, what do you think she has to do with this?" Duanmu Zong asked.
"I don't know how the virus broke out, but it should be the research institute that wants to get rid of us, this doctor of virology." Su Ming leaned on the seat of the armored car and said.
"How did you know she had a problem?" Tang Tian was puzzled.
"Remember the first time we met her? At that time, Kuru said that we had found the first patient who had been bitten by the source of the infection, and I noticed that her eyes were a little panicked, but I didn't pay attention at the time. β
"And then."
"Immediately after that, we found the virus in our food at night. Do you think about who is most likely to have the Necrovish Virus, and the one that has mutated later to be more infectious? β
"Institute. The military department's disposal method is burning, and they do not leave any trouble. Duanmu Zong replied.
"The government has given full authority to the research institute for the virus, and there is no reason for the military to get rid of us. We want to find the source of the infection and not offend or infringe on their interests. So if you follow this line of thought, the source of infection of the virus is likely to be related to the research institute. Su Ming said what he thought.
"The first patient said that the person who bit him was a person in a white coat, could it be that someone inside the institute is the source of the infection?" Duanmu Zong pondered.
"Maybe it's possible. Evidence is also needed. β
"The first time they didn't get rid of us, and the second time they used a stronger virus to cause a wave of corpses, it seems that they are running out of patience." Su Ming looked at the scenery passing by the car window and thought about the next step, and the deadline for the task was gradually approaching.
β¦β¦
Government agencies.
"You mean Binget? That's impossible! Kuru stood up from his chair with a complicated expression.
"Don't excite Captain Kuru, I'm just saying it might. Moreover, the news that Bingert was notified yesterday that we were going to the institute, wasn't that what you revealed? Su Ming sat aside and seemed to be smiling.
"That's right......" Kuru returned to his seat, his eyes a little evasive.
"Is the virus only the research institute in Help working on it?"
"Of course, this kind of thing requires ten thousand cares. I've known Bingert for a long time and know that she knows a lot about viruses. After the outbreak of the virus, high-level organizations conducted antibodies in the city, including the Bingerts. Kuru replied.
"What kind of man is his husband?" Su Ming was a little curious about the male doctor who didn't show up.
"Bans? He is also a very knowledgeable person. The personality is very paranoid.,I like to get to the bottom of what I want to do.γ Why do you ask this? Kuru's evaluation of this rival who stole the woman he liked was quite pertinent, which shows that Bans is not a bad person.
"We didn't see him at the institute, didn't Bingert study with him?" Tang Tian asked.
"He and Bingert are husband and wife, and they are also work partners." Kuru's mood gradually calmed down.
"And when was the last time you saw him?" Duanmu Zong continued to ask.
"I want to think about it...... I only remembered that I hadn't seen him in a long time, and we hadn't seen each other since the virus broke out, and Bingert said he was concentrating on developing antibodies. Kuru recalls the last time he saw Bans.
Su Ming squinted, and some of the threads in his brain gradually connected.
"We will continue to investigate the source of the virus, and if there is a need, please ask Captain Kuru not to refuse." Su Ming got up.
"No problem." Kuru's eyes didn't wave, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
β¦β¦
"The last time we went to Goldleaf we went to Binget's house, there was no one there, and if Bingert's husband, Dr. Bans, wasn't at home or at the institute, where would he be?" Tang Tian sat on the bed with a pillow.
"I don't know, there is still a lack of clear evidence. Food staff don't need to check it out. Su Ming said from the seat.
"I think we should keep an eye on the institute next, and if there's a problem there, we might find clues." Duanmu Zong thought about it, sat next to Su Ming and said.
"But how do you monitor it? The outside is hermetically sealed. And even if we were to get in, I don't think they would put the evidence there waiting for us to find out. Su Ming rejected Duanmu Sect's suggestion.
"Last time we saw from the list that there were three doctors, the Bingerts have no clues, isn't there another Dr. Kate?" Tang Tian sat on the bed and reminded.
"Good idea." Su Ming's eyes lit up.
"He also lives in the Golden Leaf District, and we can block him in front of his house." Duanmu Zong got up.
Su Ming and the three of them came to a residential building in Jinye District, they borrowed an off-road vehicle from Kulu, and the driver was a soldier, Su Ming and the others didn't understand the driving method.
They decide to meet Kate alone, Kate is still working at the institute, and they don't know how to make progress in antibody research, so they are prepared to wait until late at night.
Su Ming was smoking, Duanmuzong was sitting on the ground, and Tang Tian was bored on the lawn with grass sprouts.
The moonlight was hazy, and a figure walked on the side of the road in the distance. After walking in, Su Ming recognized his appearance.
"Hello, Dr. Kate." Su Ming threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.
"Special Forces? What do you do? Kate stood in front of the three, Kate in the moonlight with short hair and about forty years old.
"It's about the mad corpse virus that infected the soldiers yesterday, and we want to ask you about it." Su Ming said.
"Yes...... Come to my house. Kate invited the three, and Su Ming followed the doctor up three flights of stairs to his residence.
Kate's room is slightly smaller, simple, and messy, which doesn't conflict. His living room has a sofa and a dining table. There were a few clothes on the chair next to it. There are picture frames hanging on the walls, and some uneaten food is placed on the table.
A few books were piled up in the corner of the table, and there were some miscellaneous items of unknown purpose on the table.
Kate lights a candle and the candlelight lights up the house. He picked up the clothes from the chair, crumpled them up and threw them on the couch.
Kate stretched out her hand to invite Su Ming and the three of them to take a seat, there were only two chairs, and Duanmu Zong gave up the seat to Tang Tian very gentlemanly.
"I heard what you said in your research, and I was wearing a hazmat suit right next to you." Kate leaned back on the couch, looking tired.
"What do you think about this virus? As far as I can guess, if the mad corpse virus continues to evolve, humanity will become extinct sooner or later. Duanmu Zong looked at Kate and said.
"Yes, this virus is incredibly destructive, replicating, and contagious. If we can't make a cure, it's over. Kate hugged her head and sighed.
"Is its maternal origin really transmitted naturally?" Su Ming looked at Kate's face.
"It should be...... We're not so sure. Kate replied with her eyes closed.
"There's a question I'd like to ask." Su Ming continued to ask.
"What is your purpose in doing virus research?" Su Ming looked at the haggard doctor and asked, Kate's body twitched obviously.
"Of course, it is for the sake of human medicine, but also for my own ideals." Kate opened her eyes and stared steadfastly.
"Test your ideals with innocent people?" Su Ming sneered.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Kate looked up at the three.
"Okay, let's change the subject. Do you know where Bans is? We want to meet him. β
"During this time, we were working on new antibody synthesis, and he lived in the institute for food and drink." Kate replied with her eyelids down.
"Dr. Bans doesn't seem to have been out for a long time, and Captain Kuru misses him."
"Maybe he wanted to develop antibodies sooner...... If you still want to know about the virus, please continue, if it's something else, let's talk about it another day, I'm tired from a long day at work. Kate gave the eviction order.
"Alright, we'll visit the institute tomorrow." Su Ming and the three of them got up.
Downstairs in the resident's house, the three of them were walking on the road.
"This person has a problem too."
"It's clear he doesn't have Binget's acting skills." Duanmu Zong said.
"Shall we go to the research institute and check this Bans next?" Tang Tian asked.
"Bingo!" Su Ming replied.
"This person Shenlong can't see the head but the end, there must be something wrong. We're going to the institute now. β
The institute was not far from the Golden Leaf District, and the soldiers and the three of them stopped outside the iron bar, and the sentry at the gate came out of the monitoring room.
"It's you three special forces again, is there something wrong? I'll open the door for you if you need to. The doorman said inside.
"No, I'll just ask a few questions." Su Ming came to the iron bar.
"Dr. Bans at the institute, who is Ryling Binget's husband. Have you seen him lately? Su Ming asked the doorman.
"Oh, you mean Ray Bans. It's been a long time since we've seen him, and Dr. Bingert says he disappeared on the day of the virus outbreak, possibly allowing the mad corpse bite to be cleaned up by the military. The doorman's answer was not as Su Ming expected.
"Are you sure?" Su Ming asked.
"Of course, you can ask at the institute." The doorman replied.
"Why didn't Bans know about the disappearance of Bans, didn't you report such important news?" Su Ming asked the doorman.
"What! The military department does not know? I thought the military department had known the news a long time ago! The doorman was surprised.
"Don't you usually communicate with the military department?"
"It's usually Dr. Bingert who comes and goes with the military department, who usually comes here. From time to time, corpse trucks send crazy corpses here, and we are all worried about death. The doorman said with a pale expression.
"Okay, it's okay, thank you for the news." Su Ming turned around and returned to the car.
"Missing! The military department didn't even know! Oh my god, after a few months they didn't know there were only two PhDs working on it. Tang Tian shook his head when he heard Su Ming's relay.
"The military department is too negligent, who is in charge of contacting the research institute?" Duanmu asked the soldier who was driving.
"It's Captain Kuru......" the soldier replied.
It's no wonder that the lover's eyes are shih hì. Even if Bingert became someone else's wife, Kuru still trusted her, and it was not surprising that the other party said that a missing person was a researcher specializing in virus antibodies at the institute.
"Why did they hide Bans's disappearance? Even if Bans died, the institute would only lose a doctor. Tang Tian asked.
"You're so stupid! This Bans must have something to do with the source of infection, and he is the mother of the virus, so they dare not report it. Duanmu Sect said to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian gave him a roll of his eyes.
