Time passed slowly in Lu Ming's pain, anxiety, and thoughts and worries about his family.

Finally, one day, Lu Ming once again saw Zhang Dingshan's figure from the video screen.

"The results of the inspection are in."

Zhang Dingshan glanced at him and said to Lu Ming in an inexplicably serious tone: "Although the result cannot be 100% confirmed, Professor Shi is at least eighty percent sure that you faked your death before." You are Lu Ming. ”

"Nonsense, am I myself, can I still know?"

I only complained about this sentence in my heart, and I didn't dare to say it.

But thinking that this could at least rule out the possibility that he was a "clone", Lu Ming still relaxed a little in his heart.

After all, in some ways, it is also possible for a clone to have memories that are exactly the same as those of the original body. "I know that I am Lu Ming", and I can't really be sure that I am the original Lu Ming.

"This is the relevant inspection data and inspection report." Zhang Dingshan said: "After careful examination, Professor Shi found a very small amount of a certain complex compound in your kidney living specimen. And this, speculated and simulated, is very likely to be the main ingredient of a certain compound drug. In biological experiments, Professor Shi discovered that this substance can cause biological cells to fall into a kind of 'death-like hibernation' state. Therefore, Professor Shi believes that there is at least an eighty percent chance that your previous fake death was due to the ingestion of this substance, which caused you to fall into a state of 'hibernation', and the external manifestation is death. ”

Hibernation is a state that currently only exists in certain animals, such as bears, and certain frogs. But in the science fiction imagination, hibernation is an enduring concept.

Somehow, humans can also go into hibernation, freezing time and age, so as to cross a long interstellar voyage, which is a common concept in science fiction works. As a part-time science fiction writer, Lu Ming certainly knows a lot about this concept.

At the same time, he also knows that in the real world, there are many top scientists who have carried out research in this field, although it is still far from the real realization of human hibernation, but it has also achieved certain results.

There are even some dying rich people who choose to gamble when they are dying, choosing to "freeze" themselves, looking forward to the development of technology one day in the future, and can have enough technology to wake themselves up.

At this moment, hearing Zhang Dingshan's narration, Lu Ming had a feeling that science fiction had come to reality.

But...... How could he let that secret organization not hesitate to use this advanced drug that surpassed human science and technology against him?

"At this point, the modus operandi of that secret organization can basically be confirmed."

Zhang Dingshan continued: "First, through this drug, you will be put into a death-like hibernation state, and then you will be separated from the funeral home at the last moment of cremation and your 'body' will be stolen. Thus, this kidnapping operation was completed, no one noticed, no one knew, and no one cared about. ”

From that moment on, in a social sense, Lu Ming was already dead. All that remains in the minds of all those he knows is his old appearance and impression, which will never be renewed.

However, because of an accident, most likely an accident, Lu Ming came alive again and descended into the human world again.

Lu Ming fell into silence.

So far, this whole thing has only been clarified in a small part. More truth remains hidden in the fog.

So...... What's next? In which direction should I investigate?

Lu Ming asked this question.

"Unfortunately, we don't have any good direction for investigation for the time being."

Zhang Dingshan's answer made Lu Ming a little disappointed.

"For the time being, the investigation of the explosion site has not yielded much from the explosion other than the confirmed type of explosion caused by a high-velocity impact. For your investigation, it is also a dead end because of the assassination of the cremation industry. ”

Lu Ming muttered: "Some time before I became ill, who did I have contact with, and who may have drugged me, has this been checked?" Did the cremation chemical industry have any abnormalities beforehand, who had contact with them, and who were suspicious? ”

He Wei glanced at Lu Ming with some dissatisfaction, as if she felt offended: "What you said is just basic operations. We've been looking at these things for a long time. I don't say it, it's because I didn't find anything valuable. ”

Lu Ming lowered his head, his brain spinning rapidly.

He has been under tremendous pressure all this time. This is not only from the physical aspects of house arrest and the numerous and painful examinations, but also from the spiritual level.

Confusion about the future, panic, thoughts and worries about relatives, thoughts about normal life, etc., if it weren't for his good psychological quality, I'm afraid he would have been crushed long ago.

But perhaps because of this, Lu Ming's mind turned faster than ever. So, an inspiration struck me.

"Wait! We might be able to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming closed his mouth.

The inspiration he remembered was that in this world, I am afraid that it is not only himself who has this kind of encounter!

I'm afraid that there are other people who have also been kidnapped by this method unknowingly, and even now, this kind of kidnapping method may be underway, and a corpse lying in the morgue at this moment may be the same victim as himself!

The next investigation can start from this point!

Didn't Professor Shi Guofu already find that compound? The next step is to conduct a kidney sample examination of the deceased in the recent past to see if any trace of the compound can be found again.

If this compound is also detected on the kidney specimen of a certain corpse, then the next thing can be used as a bait to secretly monitor and fish out that hidden tissue!

When he first remembered this plan, Lu Ming was a little excited. But he immediately sensed that this plan might not be of practical significance.

There are so many people in the world, and the number of deaths every day is probably as high as hundreds of thousands, so many people, just to find the corpses that may or may not be, and even if there are those who may or may not be on average, there will not even be one a day on average, and there is a corpse of that compound in the kidney specimens?

It's unrealistic to think about.

"Tell me what you think."

Lu Ming sighed: "I'm afraid this method won't work." My thought is that I'm not the only one who is going through this...... But there are too many deaths to be investigated. ”

Zhang Dingshan smiled slightly, and He Wei's eyes were a little more surprised, as if surprised that Lu Ming could think of this way.

"You're smart."

Lu Ming laughed at himself: "I am a part-time science fiction writer, and my brain is always bigger. ”

Zhang Dingshan said: "Originally, I didn't plan to tell you the direction of our investigation next, but you also figured it out yourself, so it's nothing to tell you." That's right, we're going to do that for the next day, and we've connected three labs that have the capacity to do this, and we're in the process of connecting millions of hospitals around the world, so we can really start screening soon. ”

Lu Ming raised his head in shock.

He didn't expect that Zhang Dingshan's handwriting would be so big!

"Your mind hasn't been converted yet." He Wei pointed to her head: "You must know that you are not fighting alone, behind you is the entire civilization." ”

Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the world government would attach so much importance to this matter. ”

"The world government really takes this very seriously. But it's not as troublesome as you might think. Based on the type of 'hibernation and suspended animation', we can exclude those who died due to surgery, those who died due to past medical history, and many other types of death, so that the final need for specimen testing is probably less than one in a thousand. More than 99% of hospitals may not see a single deceased person who needs to be tested for a month. In this way, we can do this with very low administrative costs. ”

Lu Ming let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's wait and see if there are any more victims."

The development of things was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

Originally, He Wei thought that she would have to wait for a while to gain something, but she didn't expect that after smoothing out all aspects of the relationship, the first batch of specimens was sent to the designated laboratory to complete the test, and the results appeared.

Facing Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, Professor Shi Guofu, who was once again recruited, said solemnly: "Specimen No. 815 has detected the same compound as Lu Ming's body. I have reason to suspect that the owner of specimen number 815 is also in suspended animation at this moment. This is the relevant test data, which is the signature of the parties to the cross-check. ”

The owner of specimen number 815 is a 36-year-old young man. The address was Heilong City, and the time of death was 39 hours ago.

"There are really ...... victims"

He Wei couldn't help but have this thought in her mind. She knew that with the appearance of a second victim, many of the previous speculations could already be overturned and denied.

For example, Lu Ming's resurrection from the dead was not an accident. For example, Lu Ming is really not a monster, not an alien, or a real human. Like what......

Many, many more.

"I suspect it's a public health incident." Shi Guofu's face was solemn: "At present, it is not sure what causes this disease, whether it is a new virus, whether it is infectious, etc. But I think it should be taken seriously, and it is better to report it to the Ministry of Health for inspection. It would be bad if it became a pandemic. ”

Zhang Dingshan could not use facts to relieve Shi Guofu's worries. He just said: "Don't worry, we will handle this matter, and it will be handled properly." ”
