Sense of smell

"Hello, viewers. Welcome to "Today and the Future". The guest this time is Professor Xu Huaibin. Professor Xu has been working on the development and perfection of the 'Seer' system for 30 years and has made a lot of contributions to modern technology. Today, Xu The professor answered some recent questions for us."

Lin Chuan was watching TV intentionally or unintentionally while eating the fruit plate brought by Huang Mao. On the screen, a slightly fat man was smiling calmly facing the camera. He nodded slightly while listening to the introduction of the host, as if I am very satisfied with the host's praise.

"Professor Xu, I heard that you recently launched a 'mechanical brain', can you introduce it to us?" the host asked with a standard smile.

Xu Huaibin replied unhurriedly: "As the name suggests, this 'mechanical brain' is a brain made by modern science and technology. It integrates the 'Seer' system and medical technology, and can quickly process various information and maintain human body functions. It completes every function of the human brain, and can also control the psychological index to keep our inner world pure."

"Then will this 'mechanical brain' have any negative effects? For example, it can't integrate with the human body, complete the connection and work with the brain nerves?"

"Don't worry about this," Xu Huaibin said with a faint smile, "We are constantly improving and evolving the 'mechanical brain'. I believe that after a long time, no, soon, the 'mechanical brain' will be popularized. Now the initial product is free for severe patients. Provided by patients to prolong their lives, our experimental results show that the lifespan of the 'mechanical brain' is 50 years, which also brings hope to patients and their families."

The host nodded and continued to ask: "It seems that Professor Xu means that this scientific achievement has already been put into use?"

Xu Huaibin smiled meaningfully, looked at the host and said, "The me sitting in front of you now is a perfect experimental subject."

The host immediately widened his eyes in disbelief: "This...is completely invisible."

Xu Huaibin laughed with satisfaction and said, "So, I firmly believe that this invention is unprecedented and will rewrite the history of mankind."

"It's incredible," the host echoed excitedly, "This is simply a miracle in the history of human science!"

"Do you like to watch this?" Tang Zhengfeng walked into the ward, looked sideways at the TV screen on the wall and said casually.

"Team Tang." Lin Chuan immediately sat up straight, and said, "I'm bored, just take a look."

Tang Zhengfeng casually glanced at the content on the TV, then sat down on the side of the hospital bed and asked Lin Chuan concerned: "How is your health recently?"

Lin Chuan patted his chest and said, "No problem at all. After a few more checkups, you don't have to lie here anymore. It's almost moldy."

Tang Zhengfeng smiled, and said again: "Don't think that you escaped punishment this time because of your injury. If you take a police dog out privately, you will have your police badge deducted. Comparing with you."

Lin Chuan quickly nodded gratefully, only to see Tang Zhengfeng took out the tablet and said, "Although you are still recuperating, it is a bit inhumane to ask you to work, but the case that should be solved must be solved, right?"

Lin Chuan complained, you still know it's inhumane.

After all, Tang Zhengfeng projected the content on the tablet, and a familiar interrogation room appeared on the holographic screen, in which Cheng Li and Yongshu were sitting. Cheng Li had already fallen into a deep sleep, lying on his back in a chair unconscious.

"I don't think it would be good to delay the hypnotic interrogation you applied to the Fang Bureau before. It just so happens that your condition has improved recently, so let's see how the hypnotic interrogation is going on."

Lin Chuan looked at the holographic screen when he heard the words. Yongshu seemed to be waiting for an order, and there was silence on the screen. Tang Zhengfeng pushed the headset and said in a low voice, "Let's get started."

Yongshu nodded immediately, walked up to Cheng Li, bent down, and slowly used words to construct a virtual world in Cheng Li's mind.

"You are sitting in your office right now, worrying about choosing a husband for Cheng Jing. She suddenly opened the door and told you that there is a good candidate. It is your employee, Tang Zheng."

Cheng Li closed his eyes tightly and murmured, "It can't be him."

"Why not?" Cheng Jing asked dissatisfiedly with a sullen face.

"What kind of family background is that boy Tang Zheng, don't mention that he is not in the right household, he is struggling to support himself!" Cheng Li roared sternly.

Cheng Jing bit her lower lip. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have to get pregnant."

Cheng Li was puzzled and said, "Why are you in such a rush to get pregnant? Getting married is a big deal!"

"Dad, the medicine can't be made anymore." Cheng Jing said in a deep voice, "I am married to Tang Zheng. Not only can I get the raw materials, make imitations, but also try them on him. Once successful, how much will we earn?"

Cheng Li's body was embedded behind the large desk, and he remained silent for a while.

"You're a businessman, so you don't understand the truth." Cheng Jing went around the desk, walked to his side, put her arm around his shoulders and continued, "A genuine 2ml Valium pill costs How much is it, we managed to get the original version, if we can make a generic drug and sell it at a low price, the cost is not high in the first place, so the profit will be much higher than if you run this broken company!"

Cheng Li's expression loosened, and he asked half-believingly, "Is this true?"

"Of course, Dad!" Cheng Jing straightened up and said confidently: "I am your own flesh and blood, can I still lie to you? As long as I can get the raw materials legally, half of the money will already be paid!"

"Tang Zheng... can be regarded as a cash cow."

"Crack!" Yongshu snapped his fingers just right, and Cheng Li immediately woke up from the hypnotic state. He looked at the young man in front of him with a puzzled face, but he didn't know that the bloody truth had exposed his whole play.

Lin Chuan frowned and stared at the holographic screen without saying a word. It turned out that the old fox really had something to do with the Valium.This thing, regarded as a panacea by lawbreakers, crawled silently across every corner of the city like a poisonous snake spitting out its message.

After a long time, Tang Zhengfeng said to the headset: "Has the brain imaging been recorded?"

"Recorded." Wei Lan replied from the headset.

"Take him down, the court will be held in a week, and immediately send someone to seal up Cheng's Aviation."

"Yes!"

"Hey! What are you handcuffing me for?! This violates my right to personal freedom. Where is my lawyer? I want to hire a lawyer!"

"Mr. Cheng," Huang Mao tightened the silver handcuffs on Cheng Li's hands, and said with a sneer, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in court."

Lin Chuan looked at Cheng Li who was being escorted away, and fell into deep thought.From Cheng Li's memory, we know that Cheng Jing married Tang Zheng in order to make tranquilizers. Due to the pressure of life, Tang Zheng's mental state was unstable. Make him worse, and finally choose to kill.The needle found in his rental house must not have been given to him by Cheng Jing, would it be the same as the tranquilizer that Le Yiyang stole?Tang Zheng's death, and Le Yiyang's death, both have the same effect and become dead without evidence. Is there any connection between the two?Or, just a coincidence?

Lin Chuan bit his fingernails uneasily, Tang Zheng's death has not been broken yet, and Zhang Li's death was suddenly covered.Several cases in a row are tacitly related to tranquilizers.

This may be just the tip of the iceberg. Lin Chuan kept sorting out his thoughts, from the mask with unknown meaning to the murder case three years ago, and the music score three years ago seemed to have a faint connection with the misfortune 16 years ago.

"Lin Chuan? Are you okay?" Tang Zhengfeng looked at Lin Chuan's tightly frowning eyebrows and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Lin Chuan took a light breath. He stared at his short and flat nails, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Tang team, have you ever heard of... the 30-year villa fire?"

Tang Zhengfeng frowned slightly, and replied puzzledly: "I've heard of it, why are you asking this?"

When Lin Chuan heard about it, he immediately found an excuse: "Ah, I went to the archives to look through the materials that day, and saw this case in the category A cases. I thought it was just a fire case. How could it have not been solved? I just looked at it out of curiosity. Take a look."

Tang Zhengfeng looked at him for a moment, then said: "The victims of this case are two scientists and their children. Both are outstanding people who created the 'Seer' system. They are also well-known philanthropists. It is said that they have funded many Orphanages and nursing homes. The place where they live is the villa area with the best security system in City B, and the property management is the most complete. There will be no accidental fire, only someone deliberately set it on fire. "

"But the arsonist was not caught, right?" Lin Chuan answered.

"Yes, this is also strange. Neither the monitoring nor the 'Seer' system left any clues, just like an ordinary fire escape."

Lin Chuan listened to Tang Zhengfeng's explanation, and quietly clenched his hands hidden under the quilt. He didn't show too much, and pretended to suddenly realize: "So it's like this."

At this time, it was time for the routine re-examination, and the nurse had already pushed the medical equipment and knocked on the door. Tang Zhengfeng looked outside, then turned to Lin Chuan and said, "I won't disturb your rest. Think too much about these things, some cases are settled as soon as they are settled, and there is no point in doing too much useless work.”

Lin Chuan looked at him and nodded slowly.

Tang Zhengfeng patted him on the shoulder in relief, got up and walked out the door, not forgetting to talk to the nurse.

After a lot of monitoring tubes were plugged into his body, Lin Chuan closed his eyes wearily. What Tang Zhengfeng said today was somewhat similar to what Fang He said.

——Beware of sparking guns.

can you?He smiled contemptuously inwardly.

The dark red mellow liquid is slowly poured into the transparent goblet, and the light shines through the glass to dye it with a layer of light gold.Some black charcoal was burning in the retro-style fireplace, and the sparks were crackling. The man was sitting in front of the fireplace, holding a book and flipping through it comfortably. The chapter was turned again, and the slight sound of turning the book was quietly covered up in this silence.

Xu Huaibin approached with two glasses of red wine, put them in front of the man, picked up another glass, and gently shook the wine red liquid in it. Seeing this, the man put down the book and said, "I watched Professor Xu's interview, it's very interesting. .”

"Really?" Xu Huaibin said with a polite smile when he heard this, "Mr. Xia praised you, it can't be compared with what you have done."

"'Whoever controls the past controls the future; whoever controls the present controls the past.'" The man read a sentence from the book and continued: "The human brain is constantly developing and evolving. Professor Xu's creation of the 'mechanical brain' is actually to unify management and let the 'Seer' system lead a new era."

Xu Huaibin smiled heartily, raised his goblet to clink with the man, raised his head, and then said: "Sure enough, it is the most difficult for a smart person like Mr. Xia to reach a consensus, so there is a good saying - foolish people are the best to rule." .”

The man took a sip of his wine and continued, "If you use your intelligence in the right place, you won't fail to reach cooperation."

Xu Huaibin smiled knowingly, and looked at the chess set on the table. He picked up the black chess and took a step forward.

The man casually picked up the white horse head chess piece, walked forward obliquely, and stood at the position of the black war chess piece.

"Eat." The black war chess was slightly pushed by him and rolled off the board.

It was raining again outside the window, and the raindrops slapped on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then merged into a column of water and gurgled down. Xu Huaibin was still worrying about the next move of chess. The man looked out of the window, and the scene blurred by the water droplets fell into his eyes. .

Winter is coming—he rubbed his fingers against the spine of the book, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The author has something to say:

"Whoever controls the past controls the future; whoever controls the present controls the past." - "1984"
