I didn't know what the person behind me was, and I couldn't let Xiaohai go on an adventure alone, so I quickly unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car, and climbed over with a rolling belt to help.

But it couldn't help, the person who was following us raised his arm to protect his face, hid in the car and didn't come out, no matter how viciously Xiaohai kicked the door of the cab, he refused to come out.

Everyone knows that only the car is the safest in this situation, so he will not open the door and get out of the car by himself unless he has to.

But it is not good for us to drag on like this, because there is no evidence that he followed us first. The commotion just now is too big, I'm afraid someone has already called the police, and the police will come after a while, and they can't say clearly, in case he beats a rake and says that we are blocking the road and committing murder, there is really no way to retreat, so we must take some extreme measures to force him out.

Coincidentally, five or six meters in front, probably because of the work in the small alley next to it, there were actually seventeen or eighteen cement bricks piled up on the side of the road, which is the kind of brick that can be used as a bench to sit on, which is hard, heavy, big and strong, and it is no better.

I flew over in three steps and two steps, picked up a brick and flew back, jumped on the front of the car with a bang, and was about to smash it down when I hit the windshield, my expression was so grim that I didn't leave any room for it.

The person sitting inside couldn't be calm anymore, so he immediately opened the car door and rolled out with his head in his hands, Xiao Hai grabbed him, pressed him to the car, and put the short knife to his neck.

All of this happened under the street lamp, in a cone-shaped moon-white light, which felt like a silent stage play, thrilling.

I threw away the bricks, jumped out of the car, stood beside Xiao Hai, and recognized at a glance who was following us all the way.

The skinny frame, black wood-framed glasses, is the man who went to the scene of the "oil painting case" with Dai Furong during the day today, should be Dai Furong's assistant, more than an hour ago, I saw him in a hurry by the stairs of the Public Security Bureau, I never put him in my eyes from head to toe, which Cheng thought he was following us.

What does he follow us for?

We were in such a hurry with him, we didn't say a word, we didn't even make serious eye contact, why did he follow us?

I took a step closer, stared him in the eye, and asked him who he was and why he was following us.

Although he asked, he also knew in his heart that he would not answer, and behind the black-framed eyes was an extremely calm gaze.

I understand the meaning of that gaze, he doesn't believe we can kill him, although this place is not a busy road, but it is not inaccessible, I can see that he is determined to delay time, delay until passers-by watch, the crowd calls the police, the police arrive, he can get out and leave.

Therefore, it is actually us who are at a disadvantage at the moment, after all, it is illegal to kick someone's car door and smash the window with cement bricks.

Xiao Hai looked at the surrounding movement from the corner of his eye, turned his face to exchange glances with me, and then I dodged into the car of the man with glasses and roughly flipped over, there were mobile phones, voice recorders, cameras, some academic magazines, a wallet, there was a lot of cash in the wallet, a few credit cards and cards, no work permit, no ID card.

Judging from the things in the car, this person may be a reporter or a private detective, and it is difficult to make a clear judgment for a while, but according to the previous situation that he and Dai Furong entered and exited together, the reporter is more likely.

I got out of the car and saw that there were already people watching the excitement not far away, so I gestured to Xiaohai, and she immediately let go of the man and tucked the short knife back into her sleeve.

Now the three of us are standing in a regular triangle. This is precisely calculated, in case he makes a move against us, no matter which way and from which direction, we can make the most suitable defense as soon as possible. However, he seems to have no intention of acting against us at all, and may be powerless. Anyway, the situation is that three people stand in the shape of a triangle, no one takes a step forward, no one takes a step back, just standing, you look at me, I look at you.

After a stalemate for a while, the man's gaze suddenly looked behind me over my shoulder, my intuition was not good, I turned my head to look, and sure enough, five or six steps away from my car, several passers-by were watching, and they were taking pictures with their mobile phones, probably as a street fight.

Now the digital products are too powerful, the resolution of the mobile phone is terrible high, sometimes the pictures and videos taken at night are very clear, I don't want to be taken by them and then put an inexplicable eye-catching title on the Internet, so quickly give Xiaohai a look, throw away the man, quickly run back into his car, first step on the accelerator, hit a high beam to scatter the people watching the excitement in front of him, and then turn around and drive away, completely ignoring what the man wants to do with his car that is not light.

To put it bluntly, it's his own choice to crash into that, and it's none of our business.

After driving three blocks and making sure that no one was following him, he sighed and turned in the direction of home.

Xiao Hai asked me if there were any identity documents in the person's car just now.

I said, "No, but I'm sure I'm sure I'm a friend of Dai Furong who saw it at the scene of the murder today." ”

She didn't speak again, and suddenly reached out and handed over a piece of paper, I lowered my eyes to see that it was a business card, and asked her a little puzzled, "Where did it come from?" ”

She said, "Out of the man's jacket pocket. ”

I pulled over the car, took the business card and looked at it, and I was stunned as if I was electrocuted.

First of all, the address of the unit above is Jiangcheng.

Secondly, the name written on it is Lou Mingjiang.

Jiang Cheng was a thorn in my heart, as if all the messy things in the past few years and decades had something to do with it, so I was a little stunned when I saw the business card. Then the name Lou Mingjiang also seems to be very familiar, but I don't know what's going on, I just can't remember where I've seen or heard about it, I can't remember it, I feel like I'm going to think of it several times, but the fact is that I can't remember it, and I hate it so much that I hit my head on the steering wheel.

Xiaohai took the business card back from my hand, and slowly read the name of the unit on the business card, Jiangcheng Modern Biological Genetic Engineering Research Office, after reading it, asked me if I knew this unit. I shook my head: "I don't know, I've never heard of it." ”

Having said that, I suddenly had some points in my heart, and I felt that no matter who the man who was following us just now, he must be a person in the game.

Insider.

In the past four years, many of the things I have investigated are related to biological science, and since his unit is researching modern biological genetic engineering, there must be a connection between us. If you think about it from this point, you should be able to remember where you have heard or seen his name before.

Lou Mingjiang.

I kept increasing the throttle like crazy all the way, the speed was too fast, when I turned, I almost slipped off the road, quickly put down the speed again, and looked at Xiaohai with a side face, she grabbed the top with one hand and the other hand, there was no expression on her face, and when she saw me looking at him, she also looked at me and said coldly: "I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die too much." ”

Hearing her say words like "I don't know what to say", I couldn't help but be happy, and half of the gloom was swept away. People are really not to be underestimated, who knows when they will say something you didn't expect or do something that will surprise you.

When I got home, I didn't care about anything else, so I first ran to the study on the second floor to turn on the computer and use Baidu to check Lou Mingjiang's information, and found a lot of them, all of which were useless. Check the unit written on the business card again, Jiangcheng Modern Biological Genetic Engineering Research Laboratory, but found a lot of related pages, on the whole, it is a practical experimental department under the Jiangcheng Biological Research Institute, newly established four years ago, mainly to study the genetic code and heredity of various organisms.

It turned out that the unit of the man named Lou Mingjiang belonged to the Jiangcheng Biological Research Institute.

Then I entered the three keywords of "Jiangcheng", "Biology" and "Lou Mingjiang" into my brain for retrieval, and after a sea of associations and memories, I immediately got the results.

I have indeed seen the name Lou Mingjiang before.

More than four years ago, I saw it in the office of a biology expert named Lin Qiliang, and there was a paper-like material on his desk, and the signature on it was Lou Mingjiang.

This was the first time I had connected myself to one of the messy events that took place four years ago, but at this time, I didn't realize that the word "four years ago" was so important that it was almost an explosive start to the whole incident. And I actually played an inconspicuous role in it without knowing it, and then led that thing to a very bad and dangerous situation, and almost trapped a bunch of good people.

After connecting Lou Mingjiang and Lin Qiliang, I erected a line of defense in my heart, as if I felt that a huge beast was lurking in the dark, pounced and bit at any time.

After all, Lin Qiliang is really not a good thing.

Ever since Su Mosen disappeared five years ago and learned that my mother was still alive, I began to investigate my origins and all the mysterious events that might have been related to my origins, one of which was something that had been found in the splint of the desk drawer in the room where Xiaohai was now sleeping.

It was a piece of skin longer than a palm, with horizontal and vertical curved lines on it, like a map, and it was uncertain whether the skin was cowhide or sheepskin.

At first, I thought that the picture on the skin was drawn, but then I found out that it was not, and after careful study, it was not tattooed, so I thought it was strange, and I searched the information, whether it was the thing itself, or the graphics on it, I didn't find any relevant materials, but I accidentally saw a paragraph on a web page about "hidden lines" that may be a little related to what I have in my hand.

At that time, I didn't think that the so-called "hidden lines" could be closely related to my life, my life experience, and the people around me, and so many things that happened later.
