From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

In the monitoring room.

After sending extra manpower to play back all the surveillance videos, the guard captain You Zhanyu turned around and reported:

"Instructor, we have checked the surveillance for three hours before and after the case occurred. There are no suspicious persons in the neighborhoods around the Academy of Sciences."

Lu Heng stared at the surveillance screen, frowning and lost in thought.

In fact, today's surveillance equipment is very advanced. Moving targets appear in the surveillance screen, and different colors are marked on the progress bar of the video.

In other words, you only need to look at the colored parts.

Of course, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, instructor Liu still sent extra manpower to watch every frame of surveillance video.

The result was the same. There was no suspicious person captured in the surveillance video.

Jian Qing thought about the question: "Is it possible that she has invisibility?"

Guard captain You Zhanyu explained: "This possibility is very low. Normal invisibility is optical invisibility and cannot block infrared. The surveillance equipment of the Academy of Sciences all has infrared detection, so even invisible people can be photographed.

“Even if the invisibility ability of this superpower blocks infrared detection, it’s useless.

"One-third of the guards on duty tonight are perceivers, who are always paying attention to the situation inside and outside the Academy of Sciences.

"Without invisibility, you can walk on the street without being suspected. If you dare to appear invisible, you will be captured as soon as possible."

In fact, Lu Heng was just thinking about the possibility of being invisible, but he immediately dismissed this possibility.

Invisibility is very useful when there are no perceivers.

When encountered in the wild, it is simply a surprise attack.

However, facing a tightly guarded building, it is impossible to enter through invisibility.

Under the cross-reconnaissance of multiple perceivers, there is no difference between invisibility and active exposure.

After Lu Heng thought for a moment, he said, "Can you bring out all the surveillance of Liu Gong from entering the Academy of Sciences to leaving? I want to watch it from the beginning."

It has been almost an hour since I went to the scene to investigate and look at the surveillance camera.

However, still found nothing.

Lu Heng still wanted to continue investigating, which made some people a little impatient.

If it weren't for Instructor Liu's order, someone would have wanted to question it.

Moreover, the longer the delay, the smaller the chance of catching the spies in the city.

Zhuo Hongjun questioned aloud: "The surveillance video has been studied by hard-core inspectors for a long time. I think it is useless to continue to watch the surveillance. It is better to search and arrest as soon as possible."

Li Zhaofeng, senior inspector of the Capital Iron Blood Investigation Bureau, responded: "We have indeed seen all the surveillance videos of this mind-controlled researcher. From entering the Academy of Sciences to leaving the Academy, there is nothing special. This also infers that he is controlled by mental skills. One of the reasons.”

Guard Captain You Zhanyu added: "It's not that I don't believe Comrade Lu Heng, but it's normal for analysis to make mistakes. We have been delayed for a long time. As soldiers, we should execute orders and participate in manhunts instead of wasting time here." time."

Zhuo Hongjun looked at instructor Liu and questioned: "Instructor, I think we are wasting time, and it is because an outsider is wasting time."

The "outsider" in this sentence naturally refers to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was not in the military ranks. He was able to appear here mainly because he brought back Sykes' technological information, which was a special situation.

If it were anyone else, they would not be allowed to enter the Academy of Sciences at this time.

Instructor Liu fell into deep thought. The situation was urgent now. If the lost hard drive could not be recovered before dawn, it would be even more difficult later.

Guard captain You Zhanyu continued: "Instructor, the iron-blooded Inspector Li Zhaofeng is the one responsible for investigating this case. Our duty is to hunt down spies who steal technology. Professional matters should be left to professionals, Inspector Li, What do you think?"

Li Zhaofeng had been holding his elbow with his left hand and his chin with his right hand just now, thinking. When his name was called, he raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as the hard drive can be recovered, anyone can check it."

Zhuo Hongjun was a little anxious and said: "Instructor, there are eight golden hours before dawn. I think now is the best time to search. If you miss this time, even if you understand the case process, it will be difficult to recover the hard drive."

Lin Zeyu looked at this guy for a few times and questioned: "Then why don't you go to search? What are you doing here? Are we checking ours hindering your search?"

These words were a bit rude, and Zhuo Hongjun's face darkened.

He glared at Lin Zeyu and said in a cold tone: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this."

If it is in Binhai, Lin Zeyu's family has very strong financial resources.

Financial resources are a very powerful force in front of ordinary people, but in the face of power, financial resources are a bit insufficient.

And what stands behind Zhuo Hongjun is power.

Therefore, in his eyes, Lin Zeyu is just an ant that can be easily crushed to death, just a little fatter than the average person.

Zhuo Hongjun had actually wanted to lead the team to chase Alex Austin for a long time. Because of the competition for skill cores, he naturally refused to lose.

The reason why he stayed here was because he was worried that someone would "spill dirty water" on him.

Because the theft of technological data has something to do with his arbitrary decision-making to pursue Alex Austin.

As the highest-ranking lieutenant on duty that night, he led the guards to chase Alex Austin, and as a result, the Academy of Sciences lost the information.

He thought that this had nothing to do with his initiative, but if someone insisted that it was related, he would be in big trouble.

The reason why he stayed was to keep an eye on this place to prevent someone from "throwing dirty water" on him.

This was also the intention of his family, asking him to keep a close eye on the investigation team.

Originally, he didn't care much, but when he saw Lu Heng appear.

He felt the crisis.

Because he and Lu Heng were competing for the [Damage Retracement] crystal core.

If he was criticized by his superiors for making a mistake at this time, he would definitely lose the qualification to compete for the crystal core.

At this time, Lu Heng refused to search for the White Eagle spy, but wanted to stay to investigate the case.

Zhuo Hongjun immediately made a judgment in his heart, and determined that Lu Heng wanted to use the excuse of investigating the case to find evidence to "throw dirty water" on him.

Therefore, he insisted on staying and keeping an eye on Lu Heng.

...

At this moment, the people present seemed to be investigating the case, but everyone had their own thoughts.

Lu Heng ignored the arguments of these people and asked directly: "Inspector Li, have you seen the surveillance video? Before Mr. Liu was silenced, were all his actions in the surveillance screen? Did he walk out of the surveillance screen?"

"Basically not." Li Zhaofeng replied.

"Basically not means there is, right?" Lu Heng emphasized.

"In fact, it is not really true. There is no surveillance in the bathroom, but there is only half a second between Mr. Liu walking out of the surveillance screen and entering the next surveillance. In other words, he just passed by the bathroom door and did not enter the bathroom. Moreover, it is impossible for him to do anything special in this half-second time out of the screen." Li Zhaofeng asked his agents to bring up the surveillance screen and play that part of the screen.

Lu Heng stared at the screen. From the surveillance screen, it can be seen that the victim walked out of the previous surveillance camera, passed by the bathroom door, and walked into the next surveillance screen. There was indeed only a moment in between, which may not even be half a second.

In such a short time, the victim is just an ordinary person, not a superpower, and has no special abilities. In such a short time, he really can't do anything.

Judging from the surveillance footage, there is indeed nothing wrong with the short-lived detachment.

Then.

Lu Heng watched the victim's entire surveillance and connected all the paths.

Liu Gong, the researcher who was under mental control, entered the main entrance of the Academy of Sciences, then entered Building No. 3, passed three security checks, came to the computer room where the hard drive was lost, removed the hard drive, hid it in his clothes, and then left.

After that, he walked through the corridor and left through the back door.

After crossing the road, he walked into an alley and never came out.

The body was found in the alley.

The alley is very short, only about ten meters, and there are surveillance cameras on the two streets in front and behind.

After the victim entered the alley, no suspicious targets appeared around.

Therefore, according to normal reasoning, the victim was under mental control, then entered the Academy of Sciences, and stole the hard drive.

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, he handed over the hard drive to the person behind the scenes in the alley, and then was silenced.

The whole incident looks very simple and clear.

However, Lu Heng still insisted that the distance between the mental controller and the victim would not exceed two hundred meters.

It was the same reason as before.

The skill used by the mind controller should be C-level [Mind Control], not B-level [Dominate Will].

If it was B-level [Dominate Will], it would be possible to control the research director of source energy level 10, obtain higher authority, and get more scientific and technological information.

Under the temptation of obtaining more scientific and technological information, the spy would choose a researcher with a lower authority level, which is very telling.

Therefore, Lu Heng still insisted that the distance between the mind controller and the victim would not exceed 200 meters.

But 200 meters is really close.

There are so many guards in the Academy of Sciences, one third of whom are perceivers, plus the monitoring system.

No suspicious target was found.

This is unreasonable.

Unless...

Lu Heng thought of a possibility and made a request: "Instructor Liu, I need all the guards and scientific researchers tonight, in short, the list of all the people who were in the Academy of Sciences at the time of the incident."

When Instructor Liu heard this request, he frowned and was a little embarrassed.

Because this request is equivalent to making the information of all guards public.

Zhuo Hongjun was the first to object: "You still want to delay time. If it were someone else, I would suspect that you are deliberately buying time for the spy to escape."

Lu Heng glanced at him indifferently and said: "Unfortunately, this scientific and technological information is brought back by me. Anyone in the world could steal this information, but I can't."

Guard Captain You Zhanyu continued: "I believe that Comrade Lu Heng is definitely not suspected, but now the most important thing is to recover the hard drive, and investigating the truth of the case is secondary.

"Moreover, the guard information of the Academy of Sciences is confidential. If all of them are taken out now, these guards will have to be replaced in the future, otherwise they will become a breakthrough for spies."

What he said makes sense. The identity of the guards must be kept confidential to prevent spies from infiltrating these guards.

Now Lu Heng wants the information of all the guards.

Instructor Liu hesitated. Although Lu Heng was not suspected, it did not mean that this method of investigating the case was correct.

Time was tight, and Lu Heng had to make a final decision, and said directly: "I suspect that this mental controller is in the Academy of Sciences!"

When this was said, everyone present was stunned.
