Chapter 4 Zheng Zha: Yes, Chu Xuan gave up on me
"My memories are incomplete, but the Red Queen wouldn't release nerve gas at random."

Fang Ge pointed in the direction of the train and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the stolen virus is left there."

"Is there any cause and effect between these two things?" Captain James asked.

Fang Ge winked at his teammates.

This is an opportunity to show that you are not a [security personnel], but a [senior executive of Umbrella].

Of course, gorilla Zheng Zha didn't understand, and Zhang Jie was still holding back. Mou Gang and the aunt were both risk-averse and passive-aggressive.

Only Zhan Lan and Chu Xuan could pick up on this topic.

Chu Xuan smiled and explained, "The Hive has comprehensive security measures, and Red Queen is no ordinary AI..."

"But it's still stolen, isn't it?" Lane said indignantly.

"If the suspect has not left the main part of the hive when Red Queen discovers that the virus has been stolen, all we need to do to catch the suspect is close a few doors." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

"Assuming the suspect has completely left, or has a way to resist nerve gas... then releasing nerve gas would be futile and would actually hinder the company's ability to dispatch personnel for the subsequent investigation."

"AI won't do meaningless things, so the answer is obvious. The suspect is between the three landmarks: [station], [train], and [castle]."

"Doesn't that mean we could all be suspects?" The heroine Alice made her presence felt at this time.

"Hiss..." Zheng Zha took a deep breath and felt that his brain was becoming less and less capable.

"Alice is the least likely. The train takes quite a while to reach the castle. If the Red Queen and the security system were truly so inefficient, the hive wouldn't have been stolen until today."

Zhan Lan patted his cheeks, trying to keep calm.

Alice blinked her eyes, obviously not expecting Zhan Lan to speak for her before clearing herself of suspicion.

Girl help Girl!
"No, this is just conjecture. Any possibility cannot be ruled out."

Chu Xuan maintains a rigorous attitude.

"When we were found, we were all unconscious due to the nerve gas, and the suspect was no exception. He definitely didn't have time to [move the stolen goods]."

"So, whoever is closest to the stolen goods is the suspect!"

Just as he finished speaking, Spence Parks, the culprit of the T virus leak, suddenly interrupted the conversation:
"Hey, I think we're on the wrong track. No one says there can only be one suspect."

— It seems he's recovered some of his memories. Is this a case of the thief crying "stop thief"? Things are turning into a Werewolf-style situation.

"This..." Mu Gang showed an anxious look, but the middle-aged man who was not good at speaking could not find a suitable reason to refute.

This performance actually made the mercenaries look at him sideways.

——It’s useless. Spence is indeed thinking about the problem from the perspective of a mercenary... This group of people will not really trust any reincarnation.

——Chu Xuan and I are considered individuals with information and identities. Zhan Lan also shows that he can obtain information beyond that of ordinary security guards, and Zhang Jie looks like a qualified soldier.

——Until now, Zheng Zha, Mou Gang, and the aunt, who have not had a [legitimate identity] and have been slacking off, will only face more serious suspicion!
"You have a point. We cannot rule out the possibility of a team committing the crime."

As expected, Captain James nodded slightly, agreeing with Spence's point of view.
"Did you see anything that looked like stolen property along the way?"

"My memory has recovered somewhat. I'm Chu Xuan, and I'm indeed a security officer, primarily responsible for train safety. I also participated in the design of the Hive security system. As for how to prove it... if there's a need to conquer the Hive security system later, I can do my bit."

Chu Xuan's voice had a certain convincing magic.

"I can only confirm the identities of Zhang Jie and Alice... Alice is responsible for guarding the beehive exit at the castle. Zhang Jie is primarily responsible for handling security risks at Restaurant B."

"As for Fang Ge... I'm sure Fang Ge isn't a member of the security detail. But he does work inside the Hive, and I remember him wearing a white coat."

"Combining my previous deductions with my understanding of the train's layout, there's a metal box at the rear of the carriage that shouldn't be there—it's most likely stolen goods."

—The prophet revealed his identity, didn't he? He immediately recruited the senior members, me, the most active one, and the protagonist who was slacking off. And he presented the means and information to prove his identity.

As expected, it’s Chu Xuan.

But this also means... Chu Xuan has selectively given up on Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, Mou Gang, and the aunt.

This is in line with his style, only selecting teammates with advantages.

Captain James didn't think too much and ordered quickly:

"You lead the way. JD, Ryan, go with him to look for it."

Chu Xuan cooperated by raising his hands and letting Lane and JD hold him forward like two door gods.

He behaved very consistent with the character he created, as if he really knew the environment of the train very well. He walked straight to the end of the carriage and took out the box containing the T virus and antibodies.

Without any hesitation, he immediately handed the stolen goods to JD.

Spence's eyes were fixed on the box, and his body felt like it was being electrocuted. His previously vague impression quickly became clear. "Damn it, I just have this feeling... I'm the traitor!"

Spencer thought to himself that something was wrong and all his muscles tensed up. He quickly thought of ways to clear himself of suspicion.

The problem is, he didn't recall any memories about Fang Ge and others, and he still knew nothing about the identity of his enemy!
Seeing everyone moving towards the box in JD's hand, his worry became more and more serious!

He would regain his memory due to the visual impact of the box, but what about the others? What if they regained their memories immediately and came to identify him?
The arrow is on the string and must be shot!

Spence immediately shouted rapidly: "I remember it! I remember it all!"

"This is the company's product! Those three are spies!"

As he shouted, he pointed his finger at Mou Gang, Auntie and Zheng Zha!

"Shhhhh!"

Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, the mercenaries raised their guns in unison, targeting the three people he pointed at!

Oops!

Zheng Zha was struck by lightning and immediately raised his hands in surrender, while at the same time trying hard to use his idle brain.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make; the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make. As long as you are not a threat to them, the mercenaries will raise their guns quickly but will not shoot randomly before the matter is fully understood.

In the original book, Lane was bitten because she refused to shoot at the zombies at the first time!

But his stupid teammates didn't think so.

"It's not me! I didn't steal the T virus! It was him, he stole it, he wronged me!" Mu Gang felt cold all over in the hot summer, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking.

"No... no... don't kill me! Don't kill me!" The aunt was even more unbearable, her legs trembling, and she could only beg for mercy.

——Begging for mercy is the worst option, almost the same as admitting guilt...

Fang Ge covered his face with his hands and began to think about how to pull Zheng Zha out of the quagmire.

Zheng Zha's death is almost equivalent to a bad time, and you can risk your life to save him if necessary.

As for Mou Gang and Auntie...

Not to mention that they are just two NPCs with average qualifications, giving them resources will not produce any results.

In his process, whether alive or not, whether there is one or not – it doesn’t matter.

Their response was awful, hopelessly bad. At the end of the season, even resurrecting for a family photo would seem strange.

Spence's flash of inspiration was the last straw that broke the camel's back:
"You all had to use the backdoor to get into the hive... I thought you were stupid enough to choose such a tough job, but it turns out you were just trying to take a risk and make a killing!"

Mou Gang, who fell into the trap of self-incrimination, racked his brains but could not think of a way to exonerate himself.

He looked at his teammates for help.

Zhang Jie turned his head to the side.

The song of covering one's face.

Zhan Lan hiding behind people.

There is only one person who dares to face him - Chu Xuan.

But Mou Gang's heart did not feel comforted by this...

Because Chu Xuan's eyes under his glasses... looked like he was looking at a dead person.

For a moment, Mou Gang was no longer afraid of death...

His parents are seriously ill, and his wife only knows how to make him drive, using him as a tool to make money. The eldest child is not very good, and whether the second child is his own is another matter...

There is nothing to be happy about in life.

"Fuck you, what the hell are you talking about!"

After more than 20 years, Mou Gang finally became strong again.

The middle-aged man's arms were like a pair of vises, tightly gripping Spence's throat!

"you!"

Then there was a burst of gunfire.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
