After listening to Deng Jinbo's description, Lin Fan became suspicious of Professor Li Dong for the first time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Deng Jinbo continued: "Student Lin, your resume of Professor Li is very unusual, do you know? ”

"I know a little bit about it, and I heard that he is the youngest doctor in our school, and he has academic research achievements at home and abroad, which is very remarkable in the academic world."

Deng Jinbo pulled up Li Dong's file materials from the tablet and read:

-- Li Dong, male, born on August 31, 1980, 30 years old, unmarried, ethnicity-Han, political identity-masses. Education experience - Bachelor's degree in biology and meteorology from Ocean University of China in 2001, master's degree in biology from Ocean University of China in 2003, Ph.D. degree from University of Pennsylvania in 2006, researcher in Constantine Laboratory in the United States, returned to China in 2008 as a professor at Ocean University of China, and is currently a professor of biology, meteorology and archaeology at Ocean University of China. ”

Deng Jinbo paused and continued: "Classmate Lin, have you found anything special? ”

"Huh? …… No. ”

"You can compare the resumes of the two of them." Deng Jinbo also transferred Linda's file and put it together with Li Dong's file.

"See, Li Dong and Linda Dennis are both alumni of the University of Pennsylvania, and both have worked at the Constantine Laboratory."

"What is this Constantine lab for?" Lin Fan asked.

Deng Jinbo seemed to have been expecting Lin Fan to ask this question, and said slowly: "Constantine Laboratory - is the most cutting-edge biological research base in the United States, with the world's top biological research technology, I have heard that half of the world's genomic DNA biocoding research results in 2000 came from this place, which shows the strength of this laboratory." ”

"Uh...... But what does this mean? Lin Fan still didn't understand what Deng Jinbo wanted to express.

Deng Jinbo said unhurriedly: "Didn't you just ask me what the 'Seagod Project' is?" ”

"Oh, could it be that this laboratory has something to do with the 'Poseidon Project'?"

"I can't explain the connection between the two, but from the information I have, the Poseidon Project is a research project on biotechnology, and you Professor Li and Linda Dennis are both researchers in the Constantine Laboratory, and Linda and Nishimura are both involved in the Poseidon Project......"

"So Inspector Deng, you mean that Professor Li also participated in the 'Poseidon Project'?!"

"I don't know if he's been involved or not, but when these three people get together, I think it's not easy."

"Then did they take us out to sea for the research of the 'Poseidon Project'?" Lin Fan said excitedly, "Is this 'Seagod Project' related to those monsters you just showed me?!" ”

Deng Jinbo showed an unfathomable smile and said: "I said, this is also something I want to figure out, if you also want to know what this plan is, cooperate with me and tell me everything you know, so that we can get close to this secret." ”

“…… I see."

"Very good~"

"So where do I start?" Lin Fan asked.

Deng Jinbo said: "Let's start from the time you know you are going to sea." ”

Lin Fan began to desperately search for memories of the past few months in his brain, he said: "We were notified at the end of last year that we would go to sea with Professor Li for a scientific expedition in April this year......

Lin Fan told Deng Jinbo about the things related to this scientific expedition in the past six months, from the materials they raised, arranged the itinerary, prepared scientific research equipment and materials, to what he saw and heard in the month since he set sail, everything was told to Deng Jinbo.

"Oh? You arrived near New Zealand on April 7th? Deng Jinbo used an electronic pen to record the scientific research route that Dao Linfan said on the tablet.

"Yes, we've been doing maritime mapping off the coast around New Zealand for almost a week."

"Do you remember taking measurements in those places?"

"Hmm...... I don't remember exactly, but it looks like we were surveying around the sea. Lin Fan remembered how they were surveying and mapping on the sea.

"Can you give me a rough marker?" Deng Jinbo handed the electronic pen to Lin Fan.

"Well, I'll try my best." Lin Fan estimated that he drew a circle on the map of Deng Jinbo's tablet.

After continuing to refine some details, Lin Fan began to talk about the night of the 14th, from that night they played games in the room, and found the anomaly of the sea, a large area of floating corpses, a humanoid sea monster, the light in the sea, and the red sea dragon...... The more Lin Fan spoke, the more excited he became, and he seemed to be in that nightmarish night again......

Li Dong and Linda refused to escape and followed the ship to the mysterious light...... The inflatable boat on which everyone was riding was swept away by the huge waves...... The red dragon you encounter while drifting on the sea...... The crowd was devoured by the dragon......

Deng Jinbo on the side did not make any interruptions, but just followed Lin Fan's narration and drew circles one after another on the map of the tablet, and marked them with marks and notes.

“…… When I woke up, I saw a strange person on the reef. In the end, Lin Fan talked about what happened when he woke up on the night of the 14th.

"Well, what do you think it is now?" Deng Jinbo asked.

"I don't know, it's kind of like something in the sea, but it looks a lot like the masks my classmates bought from the Maori." Lin Fan said.

Deng Jinbo asked, "Is that mask still there?" ”

"yes, yes."

"Can you show me?"

Lin Fan took out the monkey face mask from the closet in his room, this mask was carved from a piece of smooth and hard wood, the wood grain on it was clearly visible, the pattern made up the whole face, and the eyes of the mask were inlaid with blue stones. This mask doesn't look exactly like a monkey, but Xue Panru, who bought the mask, has always called it that, so everyone defaults to this thing being called a monkey face mask.

The investigators had asked Lin Fan to hand over this mask before, but he insisted on staying left and right, and Lin Fan himself didn't know why he did it, but he had an intuition that this mask had an indescribable relationship with his missing classmates.

Lin Fan carefully handed the woodcarved monkey face mask to Deng Jinbo's hand,

Deng Jinbo picked up the mask and looked at it carefully, and then said after a while: "The weird guy you saw on the reef beach looks like this?" ”

Lin Fan said: "'He' looks very similar to this mask, you can see that the eyes on the mask are crystal blue, just like the pupils of the strange man at that time. ”

"What about 'his' physical characteristics?"

“…… He is very tall, has no hair on his body, and has smooth skin...... And there is something webbed on the limbs. ”

Deng Jinbo jotted down the characteristics of Lin Fan's description on his tablet, and then seemed to press a button similar to the 'search' button, he stared at his tablet and did not respond for a long time.

Lin Fan looked at a text file on Deng Jinbo's tablet and asked, "Inspector Deng, do you know what 'he' is?" Can you tell me? ”

"No, I don't know." Deng Jinbo switched the tablet back to the tabletop and handed the monkey face mask back to Lin Fan.

"Inspector Deng, what do you know? Can you tell me?! I felt like what I was going through was so unbelievable, like a nightmare! Lin Fan couldn't calm down when he recalled those things.

"I know how you feel, but I can't really explain those things, in fact, the most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of your professor and those classmates." Deng Jinbo said.

"Can you tell me how you're going to find it!?" Lin Fan asked excitedly.

Deng Jinbo got up from the sofa, "You calm down your current mood first, and I'll tell you my plan later." He walked over to the table at the bar in his room and poured two glasses of water.

"Come, you drink a glass of water first." Deng Jinbo brought two glasses of water.

Lin Fan said it for so long just now, and his mouth was indeed dry, he took two big sips with a grunt, Deng Jinbo looked at Lin Fan after drinking the water, and said, "Classmate Lin, is there anything else you missed that you haven't told me?" ”

Lin Fan put the cup back on the coffee table and said, "Inspector Deng, what I just told you is all I can remember, if you think there is anything unsure, you can ask me." ”

Deng Jinbo looked at the notes he had taken on the tablet, then put down the tablet, picked up his cap again, and said, "I don't have anything to ask about either." ”

Lin Fan suddenly felt that Deng Jinbo's attitude was a little different from just now, but he didn't understand what was the difference, and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

"Let me sort things out." Deng Jinbo stared at Lin Fan and said slowly.

Lin Fan listened to Deng Jinbo's answer, and felt that he was speaking more and more slowly, and somehow his eyes began to dim.

"Lin -- Tong -- learn, I'm -- straightening -- clearing--thinking--road, I'm -- now -- suing -- suing -- you--"

"Eh" Lin Fan's eyes began to blur, and Deng Jinbo's voice in his ears became more and more ethereal, as if it came from a distant place.

"Lin - Tong - learn - you - how - what - ? Are you still listening, listening, clearing, me, speaking, talking, talking, ......talking, talking, talk

Lin Fan's eyes darkened.

Deng Jinbo rolled Lin Fan's eyelids, and after confirming that he was unconscious, he took off the monkey face mask in his hand and put it into his windbreaker, and took out his mobile phone to send a message.

Not long after, two men in suits and suitcases came to the hotel room where Lin Fan was staying, and Deng Jinbo instructed them: "Deal with this place, and then send this child back to China to settle down." ”

"Understood! Detective! The two replied.

Deng Jinbo nodded at them, then put on his cap and walked towards the door.

The two agents immediately began to act, one opened the suitcase he was carrying, which contained bottles of colorful potions and injection equipment, Deng Jinbo opened the door, and when he stepped out of the room, he turned his head, in the room, Lin Fan had been helped up by an agent and was lying on the sofa, while the other agent was holding a syringe to absorb the medicine.

Deng Jinbo looked at the unconscious Lin Fan and said softly: "Child, this is the end of it, this is also for your good." With that, he quickly closed the door, pressed his cap, and walked towards the elevator hall at the end of the hotel corridor.
