Every day in the world is changing, and there are always new bodies coming in from the police station.

Chen Zhong pointed to the corpse on the autopsy table and said, "The deceased's name is Bill. Sayre, 67 years old, Mr. Sayre's knuckles tell us that he fought back against the robbers, that the stain on his shirt was supposed to be a grape smoothie, that the autopsy showed that Mr. Sayre was not killed by the robbers, that he had no bruises, abrasions, or any wounds on his body, that his heart was in good condition, that he had good bone density and strong muscles. ”

"How the hell did this man who was healthier than all of us die?" Beckett asked, confused.

Cassel said excitedly: "I think it may have been done by aliens, or maybe he himself is an alien because the spaceship accidentally stayed on Earth." ”

Beckett glared at Cassel and motioned for Chen Zhong to continue explaining.

Chen Zhong held the deceased's brain and explained to them: "He died because of his brain, and you can see that there are a lot of amyloid plaques on the deceased's brain tissue, which means that his brain is corroded. To put it simply, this is a 67-year-old man with a healthy body of 30 years and a brain of 100 years old. ”

Beckett and Cassel covered their noses away from Chen, who was holding his brain in his hand, and Beckett asked, "Chen, do you want to go to the scene with us?" ”

After working for hours on end, he felt that it was a good idea to go out and get some fresh air.

……

The three of them came to the neighborhood of Chinatown, where the deceased was found, which was full of small shops selling counterfeit brand-name goods.

Beckett pointed to the place fenced off by the yellow cordon and said, "This is where the dead and the robbers scuffled. But we don't know where Bill is going. ”

After Chen Chong looked around, he pointed to a middle-aged woman who got off the luxury car in the distance and said: "According to the information, Bill is very rich, and his dress is incompatible with here, and the woman wearing high-end clothes and expensive jewelry came here for the same purpose as Bill, and rich people like them definitely didn't come here to buy counterfeit brand-names, we should be able to find where Bill is going by following her." ”

The three men followed the lady in front of them to a remote alley, and she opened an iron door and walked in.

Everyone came to the iron gate where she had entered, and there was only one Ouroboros sign on the door.

Cassel pointed to the Ouroboros on the door and said, "This symbol represents the continuation of eternity and the self-eater, and according to legend, he is the son of the evil god Loki, Jörmungad, a great serpent whose body surrounds the world......"

Beckett interrupted Kassel's lecture and said to the two, "Follow me, let's go in and have a look." ”

A few people who walked into the building were a little surprised, outside was a dirty alley, and inside the door was a large, neat, clean room, with a hint of fragrance in the air, and the room was wafting with relaxing music. In the middle of the room is a simplely decorated service desk, where a blonde woman dressed as a nurse stands, and there are several large letters on the wall behind her: Rejuvenation Hall.

Beckett came to the front desk and showed his badge and asked, "Who is your person in charge here, I have something to see him." ”

The blonde beauty replied, "Rejuvenation Hall is made by Kelly. Dr. Niemann's one, please come with me. ”

Inside, Dr. Niemann came to Dr. Niemann's office, and Niemann warmly welcomed a few people to sit down.

Dr. Niemann looked at Beckett's face excitedly, and said appreciatively, "I want to say that your face is so beautiful, and you exude this youthful radiance all over your body. ”

Kassel asked, "Doctor, what do you think of my face, is it also handsome?" ”

Dr. Niemann glanced at Cassel and said, "Uh, your face...., Inspector Beckett, did you come to me for something?" ”

Beckett said, "Dr. Niemann, may I ask what your Rejuvenation Hall is selling?" ”

"Youth, vitality, beauty." Niemann said.

"Everybody wants these things, but how do you do them?" ”

Dr. Niemann took out a few project sheets and handed them to the three of them, "Our main product is a rejuvenator, which is essentially a high-end drug that can revolutionize aging and delay aging, and the rejuvenator can make you a better version of yourself, and we can help you rejuvenate." In addition, for some customers who think that their appearance is defective, we will help them to perform some minor surgeries. ”

Beckett glanced at the list in his hand and said, "We are here this time because one of your customers died, and we suspect that it was caused by your drugs. ”

Dr. Niemann took out a document and showed it to everyone, "We can't guarantee eternal life, only that you will be alive while you are alive. I can guarantee that the rejuvenator is 100% harmless. This is a legal document for our rejuvenators to be registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. ”

Chen Zhong asked, "Dr. Niemann, what is the main ingredient of your rejuvenation agent?" ”

"We refer to the latest research on human growth hormone, coenzyme Q10, **** ketone, and Ta-65 are all composed of some drugs that have been found to be anti-aging."

Beckett stood up and said, "Dr. Niemann, can you provide a rejuvenating potion?" We need to get a sample. ”

Niemann smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Inspector Beckett, our rejuvenation potion is very expensive, and I won't be able to meet your request unless you buy it directly or come to me with a search warrant." ”

Seeing Beckett, who was a little deflated, Cassel took out his credit card and said, "I'm interested in staying young, Dr. Niemann, please bring me one." ”

……

Cassel spent tens of thousands of dollars to get a small bag of rejuvenators, and Beckett stopped Cassel, who wanted to taste the taste, and handed the rejuvenating agent to Chen Zhong for testing.

Chen Zhong studied for a long time, but did not find any abnormalities in the rejuvenator, and he was unwilling to pass on his test results to the Jefferson Laboratory where he had worked together, and Huggins and other scientists in Dr. Brennan's joint laboratory worked together to quickly discover the mystery.

In the video, Dr. Brennan explains to Chen, Beckett, and Kassel, among others, "We found a strange compound in the rejuvenator, and after careful identification, this compound was a prion. Prions are neither bacteria nor toadstools, they are inanimate and simply made up of a small amount of protein, so FDA tests have not found them. But when you get infected with prions, strange neurological pathologies occur because they can engulf and penetrate your brain tissue. What's even more terrifying is that to get a prion, you need to ingest infected tissue, and prions are found in a person's nerve tissue. ”

After listening to this, Chen Zhong asked, "Brain? You mean that the rejuvenator has infected human brain marrow in it? ”

Brennan said with certainty, "yes, I think you should now investigate where they got so much brains. ”

Chen Zhong also received a side quest: [Sanction Brain-Digging Maniac].

[Sanction Braindigger]: Find and kill Braindigger. (Quest completion reward: 5000 evolution points.) Failure Penalty: 2500 evolution points are deducted. ）
