Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"That's all I can think of, Cheng Yin, there may still be some omissions, but that's pretty much it. Need anything to add? Professor Wu asked.

"Professor Wu, very good, these are enough." I glanced at Professor Twilight and continued, "It seems that all the evidence has been prepared, and the reasoning game is now !! ”

"Enough? Cheng Yin, what's going on here? Professor Wu looked puzzled.

"I'd like to see what else you can come up with." It was as if Professor Twilight had changed someone.

"I think you should like it." My words are also suggestive.

"Professor Wu, according to what you said before, after we and Zhang Xinran left, only you and Professor Dujiang were left in the exhibition hall, and the door of the exhibition hall was indeed closed at that time, but it didn't take long for you to hear gunshots outside, and at the same time, the doors of the passages on both sides of the exhibition hall on the fifth floor opened at the same time. Am I right? I confirmed.

"That's right, we all saw a man walk in with a gun, but luckily I and Due Jiang reacted quickly and hid behind the display stand, so we didn't find out from that person." Professor Wu continued.

"Zhang Xinran obviously turned on the safety device in the exhibition hall when he left, and I think the safety device of AEF Company should not be easily opened by outsiders, so I judge that this person must be quite familiar with this place." I began my reasoning.

"So this person is very willing to be an employee of the AEF Research Center?" Cui Li's idea is very likely.

"I also think it's very likely, but that's just a hypothesis, and there's no strong evidence." I continued: "Since the man with the gun is obviously here for the research and technology of the research center...... and then my professor's words came back to my head.

----- "The three of us walked down the stairs and saw a lot of rooms blocked by the 'light wall', and we didn't want to rush in. But who knew that the gunshots suddenly occurred behind us, and we thought that the man must have turned back halfway. Instead of that, we might as well take a risk and try the setting of this 'wall of light' in front of us, and maybe there is still a chance to escape. ”

I suddenly realized something: "Since the man with the gun is obviously here for the research center's scientific research technology...... Why did Professor Wu and the others hear gunshots behind them when they came to the strange array on the fourth floor, why did the man with the gun suddenly turn his head back? ”

"Could it be that he has already obtained the research technology of the research laboratory?" Lin Yun guessed.

No, as soon as Zhang Xinran and we left the exhibition hall, we ran in the direction of the research room, and accidentally fell on the way, but what Professor Wu said was that they had just come to the odd array on the fourth floor when they heard the gunshots behind them, and it stands to reason that he could not get the scientific research technology so quickly. And the most critical problem is that since he can open the security settings of the exhibition hall so easily, it should not be very difficult to enter the research room to get the research materials. So there is only one conclusion, that is, he is not for the research materials of the laboratory at all, but for another purpose, but what is he really for? I carefully recalled Professor Wu's words just now, and I felt that the answer was in it, but I ignored some trivial things.

---- "Professor Due and I waited for the footsteps of that person to be far away, so we seized the opportunity and hurriedly ran out of the passage gate on the right, and saw many professors and scholars lying on the ground along the way... He had multiple gunshot wounds on his body... And so we stumbled to the staircase that led to the fourth floor. ”

At this time, I actually ignored such an important detail. What is the opportunity to bring together so many science professors, it is this exhibition of the AEF research center, this is not the best stage, my mind suddenly fixed on the bridge car that overturned not long ago, it seems obvious that the purpose of the man with the gun is not the research materials of the research center at all, but the science professors who participated in the research center!!

---------- Professor "Z"-------------

This name came to my mind, a familiar name, but I never met it. But this incident must also be inextricably linked to this "Z" professor.

There seemed to be hope in my visit, and since the incident was related to Professor Z, it meant that I was getting closer and closer to Professor Z, maybe it was the man with the gun, or maybe it was among the professors.

"It seems that this man with a gun did not come for the research materials of the research center, do you remember the many recent deaths and injuries of professors at HKUST?" My expression was solemn, and I suddenly thought of Wang Lao...

"Cheng Yin, do you mean that these incidents are simple accidents? Someone did it deliberately? Cui Li suddenly became alert.

"That means the man with the gun is a professor of science who came here for the exhibition!!" Lin Yun's expression was panicked.

Obviously, carving an answer is more frightening than taking scientific research materials, and I looked at Professor Twilight, who was calm and didn't have much expression, and it was clear that my words didn't have any impact on him.

"You're not shocked at all?" I asked Professor Due a question.

"Shocked? Yes, I should be shocked, but Cheng Yin, you seem to be a little off topic, we are not lamenting the cold state of the world now, but in front of us, your story is still finished, please don't tell a new story again, my memory is not good, I can't remember. There was something in Twilight's words.

"Well, in that case, let's get back to business, I think you can't wait to hear the story I made, but I think you might resonate with this story. I shouldn't let you down!! I said, staring at Professor Twilight.

[Note 2] Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
