Chapter 22: Life No. 2
When we looked closely, the wisps of thatch were stained with the essence of life, and the blood was swaying in the wind, as if to indict the brutality of the murderer and the cruelty of the scene. This is an unmistakable vicious murder case, and with the progress of civilization, vicious cases like this are quite rare in the Alliance. Several entourages came over one after another, and everyone surrounded the corpse, their faces sad and speechless for a long time.
"Where did the suspect end up?" It was Mu Jin who spoke first.
"There are traces of flying motorcycles docking on the rocks over there, and from here to the direction where the thatch is dumped, there is no doubt that it is the direction of departure, and it should have left the scene from that side." A man in charge of the search stepped forward and replied.

"Did you find any clothing fibers?" Walking through the forest is bound to cause the clothing to scratch the plants, and if there are clothing fibers found, it is a good clue. However, if you wear sturdy clothing, the possibility is very small.
"Nope!"
Mu Jin nodded, thinking that he didn't have much hope in this regard. Then he asked, "The corpse hasn't been touched!" β
"No, I'm waiting for you to deal with it." Mu Jin waved his hand and signaled him to get ready, and the assistant immediately took out a notebook and pen and prepared to start recording. Then Mu Jin approached the corpse and squatted down to take a closer look.
"The maximum width of the wound is 3.8cm, it is deep to the heart, and the murder weapon is a dagger-like weapon, with a blade length of 11~13 cm." Mu Jin probed the wound and reported a series of data, while his assistant quickly recorded it beside him. After probing the wound on his back, Mu Jin's attention was on the eyes of the deceased again, he stared straight at the dead with wide eyes, if the deceased could survive, he would definitely be frightened by Mu Jin's eyes at this time.
"Bring the scanner!" Mu Jin suddenly shouted loudly to the assistant in the distance. After a while, a sophisticated scanning machine was handed to Mu Jin. Mu Jin was familiar with the operation, and soon the deceased's pupils were still open from the display screen of the scanner. There is a fairly clear image in the pupils, I am a little happy in my heart, this image must have been left by the murderer, with Mu Jin's level of clarity of the image, it is not difficult to find the murderer.
"Huh!" Mu Jin frowned suddenly, his eyes shrank suddenly, and the whole person leaned down violently, continued to stare into the eyes of the deceased, and said, "Bring the No. 2 box." β
The assistant quickly brought over a small box. As soon as I opened it, it was full of all kinds of small equipment, all kinds of small pliers, and small scissors. Mu Jin picked out a small pair of pliers, a straw, and a small bottle, and then leaned down, almost lying on top of the corpse. He first opened the vial and took a straw into the bottle to suck a little, then dropped a few drops of unknown liquid into the deceased's left eye, then supported the ground with his left arm, and held pliers in his right hand to try to clip something out of the deceased's eye. When he got up again, he could see a thin film on the pliers, and after putting the film in the evidence bag, Mu Jin picked up the scanner again and scanned the corpse's left eye. When he was done, Su Feng and I couldn't help but come forward and ask.
"I used to look at the scans and felt a little too clear, in fact, many people have a misconception that it is not right to think that people will have the last image in their pupils after death."
"I know that this scanner is supposed to solve the cells in the memory area of the brain to get the image, and the success rate is very low." Whispering.
"That's right! When I looked closely, I noticed that there was a faint trace of the image. I thought that the murderer had this misunderstanding, and he may have posted a fake image on the pupil to deceive us. And the scanner, when he scans the picture, shows what he wants to show us. The image I just scanned is so clear and normal
That's how it looks there. Mu Jin explained briefly. I looked at each other, the hateful murderer actually had this method to cover up the facts, and his anti-reconnaissance methods were too painful.
"Can I take a look at the image you scanned for the first time!" I'm a little curious, and I want to test my eyesight by the way. Mu Jin smiled slightly, played back the scanner to the first image, and handed it to me. Our eyes widened to see some traces of what Mu Jin had just said, but what was presented to us was an image that was not flawed for both of us.
"This one has to be practiced, and you can't see it if you haven't practiced." Mu Jin said lightly.
"How far do you have to practice?" He asked.
"Practice to the point where you can draw the details of mosquitoes with the naked eye, take out a bottle of mineral water from a hundred bottles, look at it for a minute, and then put it back to find out."
"What, how is this possible?" It was as if I had heard a conversation in the Arabian Nights.
"Nothing is impossible, as long as you are willing to practice!" Mu Jin said, "Of course, the talent can't be too bad. β
"With the right images, the murderer can be found!" He asked a crucial question.
"If he doesn't cover it up, it's not very good, and it's still very likely that this situation will happen now."
Xu Feng and I both nodded, as Mu Jin said, if it wasn't for what the deceased saw in the end, the murderer wouldn't have to cover it up like this.
"Do you want to tell Cai Qiyang?" Let's get back to the most realistic question, I asked.
"If you can't hide it, you better go and tell him!"
"Okay!"
We accepted this difficult task, and when Cai Qiyang was told the latest news about his brother, he asked us over as soon as possible. In his office, when we told him about the situation, he was completely stunned. He sat still, the chair behind him struggling to support his body, his arms hanging limply. He didn't move, his eyes were blank like pictures of his face, he didn't have any energy at all, and he didn't even stop breathing. The room seemed so quiet in an instant, and he didn't dare to come in even a trace of wind, for fear of disturbing the master.
"Professor Cai, mourn! You can't be resurrected from the dead! "I didn't know what to say, I could only speak the clichΓ© weakly. After Cai Qiyang recovered a little bit of complexion, I glanced at her and motioned for her to talk about the topic we had discussed before.
"Professor Cai, we are very sad about what happened to Brother Ling, but now we still have to cheer up and catch the murderer!"
"Murderer, who do you think did it?" When it comes to the murderer, Cai Qiyang finally has the spirit.
"We very much suspect that the killer is plotting something, and this thing is most likely related to you!" He made the two of us deduce. According to a series of things, we feel that the murderer has no reason to kill a person who has escaped and violent corpse wilderness, the best thing to do after killing a person is to destroy the corpse, and the murderer's approach seems to be to let us know that Cai Mingyang is dead, which is really puzzling.
"Something to do with me?"
"Yes, there is a great possibility. Let's think about it, the opponent killed Brother Ling seems to want us to know, and after Brother Ling's death, his only relative, you will definitely be greatly affected. We don't know what he wants out of this, but considering you're a famous scientist, it might have something to do with your work. Can you tell us about your current job! This may be beneficial in solving the case. He tried to slow down his voice. Cai Qiyang fell into deep thought again, and spoke for a while.
"I told you that there was no visit! I'm currently participating
Led the research life 2 project. β
"Life 2? What is it, is it a medicine? I asked. Although it was known that the Academy of Life Sciences must be researching something, the exact official is very secretive. Anything that involves the realm of life is very important to the Alliance, and for most people, what could be more precious than life!
"It's not a drug, it's a matter of deoxynucleotide correction involving the lifespan DNA of the various races of the Alliance. In the past, we earthlings used the base pair substitution method to improve their lifespan, that is, to replace the original defective base pairs with the most selectively cultivated base pairs involving cell senescence in the laboratory. After hundreds of years of base pair correction, our human lifespan has increased from 100 years to about 400 years. But recently, we are about to make a breakthrough in the field of life, and we have found that targeted killing and molecular substitution can make more precise corrections to base pairs, and the effect is better than the whole strip replacement, so that our human life can be better extended. When Cai Qiyang talked about work, his spirit was obviously much better than before, and his tone was also frustrated and powerful.
"Does this only work for us earthlings?" He asked a crucial question.
"No, it's effective for the whole Alliance, in fact, you may not know that the bases involved in cellular aging are basically the same for all the major races in the Alliance, and there is no problem with interchange."
"So at my age, I can wait until the day when you succeed in development!" It occurred to me that if I succeeded, I would have a much longer lifespan for a scientist like my brother, which would be a great thing for me. Every time I see my brother who is getting old, it's really uncomfortable.
"There's a catch, though!" Cai Qiyang looked at us, very excited, with a solemn expression.
"What's the problem?"
"We humans are now modified to have the most primitive version of the base pairs associated with aging, and those modified bases have been tested on us, and the effect on prolonging cellular aging is not obvious."
"Could it be a problem with the experimental method?" Sulphyllum asked.
"No, it won't." Cai Qiyang is very sure, "We have found the unfavorable molecules on the base pairs related to aging that should be replaced and killed, which is the result of many biological tests on the earth." The senescence of those animal cells that have been tested is significantly reduced, but the effect is not obvious when human cells are tested. I'm now 90% sure that it's because we humans have changed the original genetic code in order to prolong our lives, and that's the reason for the poor results. β
"Can I think that if we humans have not undergone some genetic modification and have not carried out life extension, then the effect of life extension will be better with new methods." I thought hard about what Cai Qiyang meant, and finally summed it up.
"Very correct, it would be nice if we could go back to ancient times and find an ancient person to come back, even if we found a pure natural person!" Cai Qiyang's tone was very helpless.
"Find an ancient man to come back!" I was shocked, and some people suddenly appeared in my head, and very evil thoughts were born. Fortunately, with a good education, I quickly stifled these thoughts in the cradle. At the same time, I also understand better why the alliance is basically not easy to genetically modify now, because it is too much of a hidden danger. With the advancement of technology, our descendants may find better ways to transform it, but if we are only doing it now, we should wait until the level of the master is to complete a beautiful but missing master's painting, but we should wait until the level reaches the master's level to do better.
