"I ask you, did the boy enter through the gate you guarded?"

Although Rolov usually spoke to Leo in a stern voice, this time it was even worse, so that Leo was a little surprised for a while, and his tone of reply was a lot more cowardly, and his voice was a few degrees lower.

"No, it shouldn't be ......"

"Is it all right!?"

"Absolutely not!"

Leo only remembered that no one had gone out in the morning except for the woman. In fact, he didn't have a score in his heart, after all, he spent most of his time staring at the screen of the game console. But if you show weakness at this time, there will definitely be one trouble after another.

"Hmph, yes or no, it will be clear after checking the surveillance video."

"And you still ask me?"

"Because I'm going to rule it out first, you don't know the seriousness of this matter, do you?"

"Isn't he just an idle person in society? Why are you so nervous? ”

"I'll explain it to you, but you can't say that, you know?"

Leo immediately regretted that he had asked what he shouldn't have asked, but it was okay to just listen, and even if Rolov didn't warn him, he didn't plan to divulge the secret.

"Say it."

"The University of Ceylon may be targeted." Rolov said bluntly.

"Robbers? Or what underworld? ”

"If that's the case, I'll have to burn high incense. The origin of these people is not clear, but what they are staring at may be the results of the school's research. ”

"What research results?"

Rolov didn't answer right away, he thought about how to explain what was going on.

"Do you know about the World Government's EXP ban?"

Leo also occasionally watches the news to pass the time. "You know, whoever wants to conduct EXP research must be approved by the world government, right?"

"That's the main thing, but that's just their rules. Since the ban was issued, there has been no stop to conduct EXP research behind the back of the world government. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a road that is getting wider and wider, and now not only individuals and civil society organizations, but also some countries are secretly carrying out various cutting-edge research projects. ”

Rolov turned his head a little and looked sideways at Leo.

"The University of Ceylon is such a secret research unit. In addition to it, 5 of the 12 towns under Akiyama City have secret research institutes, which are engaged in EXP projects under other banners. ”

"You ordered this?"

"No, it's the state's instructions, and the government has been doing this for a long time."

"And then these researches, are all banned by the world government?"

"At least in terms of regulations, that's true."

Now Leo more or less understood why the old man was so worried. The University of Ceylon, where EXP research is conducted secretly, is supposed to be a closed space where anyone entering and leaving must be monitored, but today an unexpected person has emerged. If he doesn't enter the school normally, it means that there may be a secret passage in the school.

This means that the secret research of the University of Ceylon has leaked out.

Although he understood the seriousness of the matter, Leo gloated a little, he had never seen his grandfather so nervous.

"You deserve to commit a crime against the wind, and you deserve to be afraid, who told you to do this."

"You know, wealth is in danger," Rolov's reaction to Leo's provocation was very flat, "Okay, you have understood the matter, now you go to the monitoring room, according to my instructions, assist the police in the investigation, until the matter has a conclusion." ”

Leo, who was still smiling a little just now, immediately frowned. "Don't talk about checking the monitor, do you still need my help with other things?"

"Don't you know that you're in a bad situation?"

Leo looked dazed again: "Why is it not good?" ”

Rolov snorted disdainfully, and the words were ridiculously childish to his ears.

"If you look at Junsha's reaction, you should understand that apart from me, only a few executives of the research team and the police department know about the EXP research. No matter where the robber came from and what the final investigation came to in the end, the police could not reveal the truth. How do you think they would explain this? ”

Leo was not stupid either, and when he was pulled by Rolov, he immediately understood that he was indeed a little dangerous.

"Find a scapegoat and impose on him what doesn't make sense. The most suitable person...... It's security, right? ”

"Now that you understand, do as I say. Maybe the police will see you behave well and make your guilt lighter. ”

"Damn, that's too ruthless, isn't it? I'm your grandson, so I can't ......."

"At this time, you began to recognize grandpa? What about the mental head when you first got in the car? Stop talking nonsense, get out of the car and get to work! ”

Leo, who was kicked out of the car, muttered back to school with some indignation. In front of the security booth, he met Andora again, who was obviously waiting for him, and strode over as soon as they met.

"Where have you been?"

"The police told me something."

"What are you talking about?"

"If you want me to cooperate with the investigation, what's wrong with you? It seems to be in a hurry. ”

Sensing that Andora was asking very tightly, Leo pulled the conversation aside. Andora clasped her hands around her waist and sighed through her nose.

"This must be a robbery, right? As a result, so many police officers came, and the freedom of the people in the school was restricted, and I heard that there would be an interrogation in a while, so I really couldn't understand what was going on. ”

Thinking of what Rolov said, it was not surprising that the police would react in this way, but Leo still cooperated to show surprise.

"yes, I'll go first."

"Wait a minute," Andora called out to Leo, who was leaving, "you really don't know what's going on?" Now only you can move freely, right? ”

"Because I'm a security guard, it's normal to assist in the investigation, and I have to be responsible if I don't do it."

"Hehe, that's just as well."

The two said goodbye to each other, and Leo quickened his pace. After listening to Andora's words, he felt that this matter was really big, and he couldn't wait to rush into the monitoring room and turn out those key images one by one.

*****

An hour later, the school was "transformed" by the police into a makeshift interrogation and surveillance area. After only one day off, the teachers and students had to give up preparations for the bonfire and be interrogated one by one at the request of the police.

Everyone was confined to the library, under police surveillance, waiting to be named. Those named were to go to the nearest school building, Building 1, to the library, where several rooms on the second floor were used as interrogation rooms, where they would be interrogated repeatedly. Even after the interrogation, you cannot leave the school, and you can only move around the school. As for when liberation will be achieved, no one knows.

Outside the school, Junsha led a few policemen and followed the robbers to a place outside the north wall of the school. It's a wilderness, weeds growing wildly, waist-high. The school wall stood in the middle of it, like it grew out of a haystack. The handcuffed robber looked down on the ground, looking up from time to time to confirm his location, and after a few minutes, he stopped.

"This is ...... here," he said, gesturing to the weeds on the ground.

A policeman stood where the robber had said, brushed away the weeds under his feet, and found a round iron plate hidden underneath, resembling a manhole cover on the side of the road. The policeman removed the manhole cover, revealing the hole, and he tentatively put his body inside, just enough to get inside.

"What's next?" Junsha asked.

"It's short, but you can walk through it with your head down."

The policeman replied. The cave was pitch black, and there were broken bricks and garbage everywhere under your feet, and the stench was rotten. The police turned on the lights on their mobile phones and walked more than 20 meters, but there was no road ahead. When I looked up, I saw that there was a hole in it, which was covered by an iron plate.

He pushed the manhole cover open, and the sunlight came in at once. The well was not deep, so he held on to the edge of the well and climbed up with both feet. By this time he was already standing in the courtyard of the school.

"Are you inside?" Junsha outside shouted through the wall.

"Here we are."

"There's a secret passage, it's quite hidden." Junsha muttered to herself, looking up at the wall again. There were surveillance cameras on the wall at intervals, and there was one above her head, but they weren't facing here, so she probably couldn't get any shots.

"How did you find out about this passage?"

The robber hastened to reply: "I was here the other day...... I saw someone coming, so I hid in the grass. Then I saw the man suddenly burrow into the ground, and I waited for a long time and didn't see him come out, so I went to look, and I found this. ”

Looking at the round lid on the ground, Junsha recalled that a few years ago, the government carried out a landfill operation to fill the abandoned sewer well, and this well seemed to be also filled, but it was not complete, and it was forgotten in this untouched area and turned into a tunnel.

"What about the man's physiognomy? What are the characteristics? ”

"I didn't see ...... clearly"

"What?"

"Really, really!" As soon as Jun Sha drank it, the robber waved his hand again and again, for fear that the other party would eat him alive, "It was dark, and I saw a figure, not tall, men and women don't know, let alone looks." ”

"Is that the surveillance camera crooked like that at the time?"

"Where can I look at this? Really didn't pay attention. Sister, I've told you everything I know, really, if I have a little reservation, I'll ......."

"Okay, shut up, take him back to the car."

Junsha said impatiently. This most critical camera is not useful, so you can only look for other surveillance footage to see if you can connect the information.

She scratched her hair in frustration, the holiday was over.

*****

The southern part of Akiyama City is a "pastoral area" created by the government. The natural environment here is the best in the city, and many planting and breeding bases are located here, as well as various estates and picking gardens. In these years, people like to go back to the basics and experience the countryside in nature, which has brought a considerable number of visitors. A variety of restaurants and inns with a strong rural atmosphere are the scenery that distinguishes this place from other places.

Around noon, a hotel welcomed three guests. This inn is medium in size, there are not many guests, and usually the owner is on the first floor to help entertain. His gaze was fixed on the tall man walking in front, and the two people behind him were carrying suitcases, and this person was empty-handed, well-dressed, and had an extraordinary bearing, presumably a figure with a head and a face. The boss hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Welcome!"

"Is there a room on the fourth floor?" The tall man asked.

"Yes, yes!!"

The boss nodded repeatedly. The fourth floor is his carefully crafted "VIP area", which is priced several notches higher than the other rooms. However, in terms of conditions, it is actually not worth the price, so few people care about it. But more than a month ago, a few wronged leaders came, and they asked for a room on the fourth floor, and they haven't left yet. At this time, three more were sent to the door, and the boss's face was smiling.

"We want to be as quiet as possible, so we don't want anything else unless we ask for it." The man said again.

"Done! Sign up! ”

"Is it okay to write just my name?"

"Okay!"

"Our documents are in other places, and we'll get them to you in two days, okay?"

"No problem! You can rest assured! ”

The man nodded in satisfaction, wrote the registration form, and finally wrote the name "Tren" in the signature column.

"Okay, a few please!"

The smiling boss hurriedly asked the waiter to send the few masters to the fourth floor, and trotted back to the office to talk to the mistress in the house about what had just happened, which was enough for the two of them to be happy for several days.

The three of them went to the fourth floor, gave the waiter some tips, and sent her away to see if there was anyone else around, and then knocked on the door of room 412.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the person who opened the door inside immediately saluted.

"Captain Rains, you're here."

"Good work, Buddy." Raines agreed, and ordered the two men he had brought with him to check the reserved room and the other empty rooms, and followed Buddy into the house.

Much of the room had been removed in favor of bulky communications equipment and computers, and two workers were sitting in front of the pile of machines, busy with headsets, and Raines didn't bother them.

"What's going on with Siralda, Buddy?"

"The guinea pig who fled during the day yesterday was killed this morning."

"Do you know who did it?"

"It is said to be Harif Raymond Dimitt."

It's a name that's enough to annoy Rains for a day.

"I actually brought him in...... What is Karui going to do? ”

"Maintaining the original plan, it seems that Captain Karui wants to get rid of Dimitt at this opportunity."

"Oh, how dare I think," Raines laughed, "and can he still come here?" ”

"It is said that after tonight's operation, it will arrive tomorrow."

"It's going to have to be alive. I told him not to worry, wait for Baird's toys to be delivered, even Dimmit......"

"Buddy, that guy is here!"

A worker who was receiving information took off his headset, got up from his chair, and saw Raines after the report, and quickly bowed and apologized for the faux pas just now. Raines waved his hand and walked over to see a few lines of words on the computer screen.

"The police are interrogating people from person to person, they probably know something, and they will soon find me! I've given you so much, and you have to make sure I don't get discovered! ”

Raines's gaze focused on the word "cross-examination": "This is from the professor?" ”

"Yes." The worker replied.

"Did the police find out about the professor?" Buddy scratched his head, feeling a little incredulous, "Should we act now?" ”

"Don't be in such a hurry," said Raines, "think about it, the professor and we have always been face-to-face, and if it is exposed, the police will not need to interrogate them one by one, and the professor will be locked up alone for interrogation." ”

"Indeed...... What does the professor mean? ”

"I guess there was an accident that made the police aware of the abnormality, right? Illegal EXP research this kind of thing, the police below must not know, but the people above have no bottom in their hearts, and it is impossible for them to tell the police the details. ”

"In other words, from the issuance to the execution of the order, there must be some inadequacy, right?"

"That's where we can take advantage of that. Speaking of which, have you sorted out the common routes and speeds of police dispatches in Akiyama City? ”

"It's already, here."

Buddy handed over a map full of reticles and numbers. Reigns spread the map on the table, fingers running around it.

"I see, yes. The harassment during this period really worked, and we could plan for the next attack. ”

He took out his phone and gave it a few quick clicks.

"Tell the professor that the plan is ahead of schedule, see you at the old place tomorrow night at 6 o'clock, and bring the cores and disks on."

"Understood, but is it a favor for the professor now?"

"Of course, I'll find him a reliable helper."
