"Thieves? This is indeed an ugly word!" Long Liexu looked at the man who was still calm in front of him, as if he wanted to see through his soul. "So you admit that you are a thief. A person who dares not even say his name can calmly admit that he is a thief. This is really interesting! And you are wrong. Even if they are also thieves, they are indeed noble and lowly. Have you ever heard of the saying "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis"?"

After hearing Long Liexu's words, the man smiled leisurely.

"The sentence "those who steal the hook will be punished, and the marquis of the country will be stolen" is correct, but do you think that the two people in this room can steal the country? I dare not say my name, but do you dare say your name?"

"Ha...ha..." Long Liexue laughed. Long Liexue, who had already obtained the thing, had put down all his worries at this moment. Even if there were thousands of troops outside, Long Liexue was confident to keep the thing on his body. The performance of the person in front of him made Long Liexue curious. If Long Liexue encountered such obstacles when tracing that information, Long Liexue could kill without hesitation and use any means for that information. After all, compared with that information, anyone, any organization, seemed insignificant in front of that information. But at this moment,

The information has been obtained. Before we figure out the other party's purpose, Long Liexue does not want to commit more murder and harm the innocent, especially when his decision can affect the life and death of such a special person in front of us. Long Liexue thinks he is not a cruel person, nor is he a killing machine. Unless necessary, Long Liexue respects the right to survive in any life. Even if it is a passing ant, if there are other ending points, Long Liexue will not step on their feet. "After saying so much, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Long and my name is Long Liexue!"

The man's leisurely appearance changed after Long Liexue said his name and became a little miserable. It was not that he had heard of Long Liexue's name before, but that he understood that Long Liexue could say the meaning of his name without any scruples like this. Long Liexue sat on the sofa opposite him in a comfortable posture, and the two were a little more than one meter apart, but he knew that according to the strength gap between the two, even if he wanted to do something, he might be knocked down by the other party before he could stand up.

, what happened in that dark bedroom had told him a lot. The appearance of the 17 or 18-year-old boy in front of him was actually his best disguise. At this moment, when the two of them face to face, the force of the boy had already determined everything. Even a brief verbal battle, he did not take any advantage. This boy was the only one he had seen in his life. Looking at Long Liexu's seemingly harmless smile, he suddenly felt a little bitter in his mouth.

"Is Jiang Weimin dead?"

"Oh!" The question of the person opposite was somewhat beyond Long Liexue's expectations, "Why do you ask this?"

The man looked at the pack of things that Long Liexue bought on the table in the living room, then looked at the pair of gloves that Long Liexue wore on his hand and the keys that Long Liexue placed on the table, and smiled bitterly.

"You hold his key, but as far as I know, he has no relatives like you!"

"That's how you judge that Jiang Weimin is dead?"

"After all, whether you admit it or not, we both came to the thief in this room. There is no thief who is not afraid of the master. Looking at your leisure, I probably already know that the master here will not come back. Now it is time for the institute to work. This is both his home and his workplace. At least, he will come back to change his clothes!"

"Maybe, he was just a little surprised and couldn't come back for the time being. Why are you so sure that he is dead?"

"If you don't wear gloves, he may have just had an accident. But as soon as you wear gloves, you will undoubtedly tell me that you are afraid of leaving fingerprints in his house. You don't want the fingerprints you left behind to be registered in the public security organs. There is only one kind of situation in which the public security organs will come to his house to take fingerprints, that is, he is dead, and the police will come to his house to look for some clues. If he is still alive, this situation will naturally not happen!"

"What you said makes sense, but you know that no matter what the circumstances, many people wear gloves just out of caution, and no one is killed. Maybe I wear gloves just out of habit. Have you ever thought about this problem?" The person's ability to reason surprised Long Liexue. Even Long Liexue himself did not expect that with just a pair of gloves, a bunch of keys and his current leisurely attitude, that person could guess so many things, but no matter how surprised he was, Long Liexue was still ready to see what level he could reach.

"What you said is not impossible, but I really can't see what does it have to do with a pair of newly bought gloves that are worth three or eight cents that have not even been torn off on the labels on them and the caution of those professional veterans? Do those people have to find a store to buy a pair of cheap gloves every time they commit crimes? Speaking of habits, I can only say that if you are used to wearing a pair of such gloves in such weather, it only means that your taste is too poor, and perhaps you have some tendency to be autistic!"

After looking at the gloves on his hand, there was a label that was not to be torn off. Long Liexu smiled and rubbed his hands awkwardly. The judgment and observation ability of the person in front of him was indeed rare.

"You are right, Jiang Weimin is dead!"

Hearing Long Liexue admitting Jiang Weimin's death, the man's mouth moved, his eyes were very complicated, he didn't speak for a long time, but only sighed.

"I know what questions you want to ask. If a person like him falls into my hands, I can kill him without hesitation, but..." Long Liexue's mouth curled up, "I can tell you clearly that although I was by his side when he died, he was not the one I killed!"

"If you want to ask, just ask. Judging from your appearance, since you have told me your name, it means you won't mind killing another person here. Although he is dead, I don't want to die with him. I don't want to give up if I have a chance to survive."

Talking to smart people is to save energy, Long Liexu laughs.

In the following narrative led by the young man, Long Liexue knew everything he wanted to know.

The young man has a poetic name - Zeng Zui! What surprised Long Liexue was Zeng Zui's adoptive father. Zeng Zui's adoptive father had a name Long Liexue had just heard of, Zeng Zhihua - the researcher who synthesized that super metal in the experiment.

"In my impression, my father has always been a very kind person. He has never beaten me on the day I took me from the orphanage to my home until now. Even if I did something wrong, he educated me as much as possible so that I could understand where I was wrong. He can be said to be better to me than most fathers to his biological sons. He and his mother are always frugal, but they are never stingy to me..."

...

"I remember very clearly that in the days before the accident, my father's behavior was a bit abnormal. His working hours were regular. Sometimes he worked overtime, but he would not add up to very late, because at home, my mother always had to prepare the meal and wait until he came back. But in those days, my father always worked overtime late in his laboratory, and often stayed for more than fifteen hours as soon as he entered. My mother and I were very worried about my father's body, but in those days, my father's body seemed to be in a ball.

The fire was burning, and he only slept for more than three hours a day. In addition to eating and going to the toilet, he was either checking information or in the laboratory. Even when he was at home, he sat in his study writing or calculating something. He often felt his eyes covered in blood and refused to rest. During a meal, his mother and I advised him to pay attention to rest and not to fight hard, but his father didn't listen. He told us that his ideal in this life would be realized..."

"My father has two ideals. He told me before, one is to hope to serve the country with what he learned, and the other is to hope that one day he can join the ranks of national academicians. For the second of his ideal, he once told me that he may have no hope in his life. For a bottom-level researcher who is diligently rooted in his job, there is no research paper that is pieced together, no backing background, and will not flatter the leader... Even at a meeting held in a system, because of his straightforward and honest personality and unique views on some problems in his research field, he also attracted several so-called authoritative criticisms in their system, saying that he is arrogant, does all his evil ways, wastes national resources, but does some useless work. In this case, sometimes even the equipment for his father to do experiments cannot be guaranteed, but his father is always persisting..."

"The day before the accident, my father was abnormal. He came back early, with a relaxed and full of joy. He also went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and cooked meals with his mother. This was almost unimaginable before. That night, my family cooked a lot of vegetables. During the meal, my father drank a little wine for the first time. Since I grew up, it was the first time I saw him drinking. After drinking some wine, my father was flushed. He was very sober, but he talked to me about marine resources and the heroes who died at the sea in our country in history, as well as the beginning of the shameful past in our country. In the end, my father also talked about weapons and various weapons... That night, my father slept soundly and slept until dawn. My mother said that it was the first time my father slept so well in so many years!"

...

"However, just the next afternoon, I was still at work, but my mother suddenly called. My mother on the other end of the phone fainted without saying a few words. I hurried back. When I came back, I only saw the building where my father's laboratory was located. The fire truck was already putting out the fire, but the flames sprayed out from the window of the laboratory where my father was still difficult to get close to. They told me that an explosion occurred in my father's laboratory, causing a big fire. When the explosion, my father was still inside and did not come out. I was as if I was struck by lightning..."

When Zeng Zui said this, Long Liexu suddenly remembered the back he saw when he was taking a car by the fire scene that day...

"Afterwards, it was confirmed that a total of five people were dedicated in the fire. The results of the investigation showed that it was caused by my father's illegal operation of the instrument in the experiment. Faced with such a result, I really couldn't accept it. My father's habit of caution and caution in the experiment had been cultivated for decades. How could he put such a low-level mistake? There was no valve that closed the hydrogen cylinder and used the instrument outside the limit power specified by the experimental instrument. What a bullshit reason? If you make such a mistake, it is understandable.

It was these two mistakes that came together, and so fatal. Just when my father thought his ideal could be realized, he left us because of these two low-level mistakes. I really couldn't accept it. You know, even when my father was cooking at home, he insisted on not putting salt directly into the oil in the hot pan, because salt would produce substances harmful to the human body in the high-temperature oil. My father always educated me like this. How could such a person make such mistakes at such a critical moment?"

"After this serious blow, my mother fell ill! But I doubted my father's death. I am a conspiracy theorist, summarizing all the abnormalities in the days when my father had an accident. I think that my father's death was completely a conspiracy by someone else! This conspiracy is related to a certain achievement achieved by my father in research. Apart from the research results obtained by my father, facing my father who has nothing to care about anything except research, there is really nothing else that can make people take such a big risk to murder him!"

"My father's direct leader was Jiang Weimin. When Jiang Weimin faced the investigation team sent by the above, he did not mention his father's research results. Even what his father was doing at that time, he used the work he had done before to make excuses! But as far as I know, the father finished those jobs several years ago. When I found him, he did not mention any achievements his father had achieved. Instead, he took the opportunity to visit his mother and came to the house to carefully read out the information of his father on the grounds of protecting the integrity of the research institute's materials, for fear of missing out. In the end, he did not take anything away, but his expression was indescribable.

Song. Mother told me that when I was away, he asked my mother if my father had handed over anything for her or me to keep. If so, he would ask her to tell him that this was related to whether the cause of the fire could be investigated clearly and whether she could give her father a fair question. By the way, except for my father, the families of the other four deceased came to the house several times after the investigation results were announced. They believed that it was because of the father that caused their families to be implicated. My mother was very kind. Even though she was already heartbroken, she insisted on taking out the few deposits in the family and letting those families shut up..."

"I have been taking leave at home these days, and I have all my energy focused on Jiang Weimin. I think that if a fox is going to show its tail, but Jiang Weimin's performance these days is very cautious, so I can't catch any handle. But the more he does this, it means he is more guilty. Today, taking advantage of his chance to go out for exercise in the morning, I slipped to his house and prepared to look for it at his house to see if I can find any clues and what will happen later? You also saw..."

Zeng Zui said at the end of the beginning, his tone was very calm, but in his eyes, when his father went home early to buy groceries and cook, he began to cover up a light layer of water vapor.

Long Liexue listened silently next to him, and until the end, he never interrupted a word. By now, he had completely believed Zeng Zui's words. The communication between men can sometimes be words, but sometimes it is silent.

It took a long time before Long Liexue spoke.

"Your suspicion is not wrong! Your father was indeed murdered by Jiang Weimin. He first found a reason to let your father leave the laboratory temporarily. Then he slipped in, opened the valve of the hydrogen tank in the laboratory, and tampered with an instrument in the laboratory. When your father returned to the laboratory, the explosion would happen as soon as the machine was used!"

Zeng Zui's eyes flashed with murderous intent that could not be concealed, but it was immediately replaced by a painful look.

"Is he really dead?"

Long Liexue nodded. Facing Zeng Zui, who was deeply scheming but full of hatred in front of him, Long Liexuehao did not doubt that if Jiang Weimin had not died, then the result of waiting for him might be ten times worse than now. From this perspective, it is really a blessing that Jiang Weimin could die without much pain like now.

Just as Long Liexue believed his words, Zeng Zui had no doubt about Long Liexue's words.

"Then..." Zeng Zui looked at Long Liexue and hesitated for a moment, "Is it because of my father's research results..."

"Yes!"

"Can I know what that is? I guess you're here because of those things, right?"

Long Liexue still nodded and asked in a deep voice.

"Even if you are his relative, you can't know what your father's research results are. If you want to know, I can satisfy you, but after you know, you can't leave this house! Do you want to know now?"

Zeng Zui shook his head helplessly. Even if his father is alive, he would not allow himself to do this. Why should he disobey his intentions after he is gone?

Alas! Long Liexu sighed in his heart, reached out and gently placed the metal and the research report wrapped in a layer of plastic and a file bag from his arms.

Zeng Zui looked at Long Liexue, and Long Liexue nodded.

He trembled his hands and gently stroked the bag on the table and the metal with a black and gray luster, and tears fell like rain.
