It’s Annoying I Want To Eat People

When Ji Hongyi reached the seventh floor, he saw a group of people talking in the corridor from a distance.

He slowly approached, and a researcher recognized him and hurriedly shouted, “Director Ji!”

The people who had been talking around the blood stains quickly turned their eyes to Ji Hongyi, their expressions were suddenly nervous, and they all greeted him, “Director Ji.”

Ji Hongyi nodded, glanced at the blood stains on the ground, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“We aren’t sure. We saw a pool of dried blood in the morning that wasn’t there when we left yesterday afternoon.”

Ji Hongyi nodded vaguely, and then asked, “Have you seen Professor Ji?”

Several people shook their heads.

A trace of anxiety flashed in Ji Hongyi’s eyes, and he walked to Ji Zhaoyan’s office alone, pushed the door, but found it locked. From the window, no one was inside.

Ji Hongyi strolled a few times on the seventh floor, and returned to his office anxiously without waiting for Ji Zhaoyan.

Secretary Liu came back from the Armed Forces Department at about noon. When Ji Hongyi saw Secretary Liu, he hurriedly asked him about the blood stains.

Secretary Liu’s answer made him more confused and uneasy.

Secretary Liu said that the footage of the surveillance video of the corridor on the 7th floor was missing an hour, and he had already copied over the few hours of surveillance that had not been missing.

The monitoring time copied by Secretary Liu started at 10 o’clock in the evening. At that time, there were still a few researchers on the seventh floor doing experiments. Before 12 o’clock in the evening, all the researchers on the seventh floor left.

While pressing the fast forward button, Secretary Liu explained to Ji Hongyi, 

“The footage is missing from 0:43 to 1:40 which is nearly an hour. At 0:42, there was no blood in the corridor on the seventh floor, but there was blood in the corridor at 1:41.” 

Secretary Liu clicked on the pause button and pointed to the blood in the picture.

“You can see that there is still a missing gun in the corner,” Secretary Liu said, pointing to the gun that fell by the door of the laboratory.

Secretary Liu just wanted to hit the play button, but Ji Hongyi hurriedly reached out and stopped him, “Can you zoom in on this gun?”

Secretary Liu nodded, zoomed in on the gun, and said, “Due to the limitation of the surveillance video pixels, it is impossible to distinguish the gun. It can only be seen as an ordinary pistol with a silencer.”

Ji Hong didn’t listen to his words, his eyes were fixed on the gradually enlarged gun. He couldn’t help holding his breath, his heartbeat speeded up, the gun looked familiar, much like the one he gave Xiao Yan.

When Secretary Liu noticed that Ji Hongyi cared about the gun, he zoomed in to the maximum, and then paused, not in a hurry to interrupt Ji Hongyi’s thinking.

Ji Hongyi stared at the gun for more than ten seconds, then said, “Where is this gun now?”

Secretary Liu explained, “I don’t know where this gun is right now. The surveillance showed that someone picked up the gun after 4 o’clock in the morning. “

Ji Hongy squinted at Secretary Liu, his eyes were serious, but he did not ask further, waved his hand for Secretary Liu to continue playing the surveillance video.

Secretary Liu kept pressing the fast forward button and said, “From 1:41, no one appeared on the monitoring screen until 3:24 in the morning, Xiao Zhao, who was on duty last night, appeared on the screen. I asked Xiao Zhao before, and he said that he usually starts patrolling the floors around 3 o’clock in the morning.”

Secretary Liu continued to press the fast forward button, “After Xiao Zhao left, no one appeared on the screen again, but at 4:51, a man in black appeared on the seventh floor, and his goal was very clear. He went directly to the gun in the corner and picked it up.”

Secretary Liu paused the scene at the moment when the man in black picked up the gun, and said, “Director Ji, I think this man in black definitely went there prepared. You see, he didn’t hesitate at all, and went straight to the gun. He didn’t seem to be looking for the gun, but directly went to get the gun. And he also knew that the corridor was equipped with a surveillance camera, so he deliberately wrapped himself very tightly so that the surveillance camera did not capture his appearance.”

Ji Hongyi didn’t comment. He clicked the play button and continued to watch the surveillance video. Then no one appeared in the corridor on the seventh floor. Until at 6:30, the first researcher on the seventh floor found the blood in the corridor.

“Secretary Liu, how did the people in the Armed Forces Department explain the missing hour of surveillance video?” Ji Hongyi knew that the missing part of the video was the most important.

“They didn’t give any explanation, just said that they didn’t know how it went missing.”

Ji Hongyi hit the table with anger, and said angrily, “Do they work like this?”

Secretary Liu was taken aback, and quickly echoed, ” Yes, I am also very puzzled. I don’t know how that happened, and it happens to be the most critical piece of video.”

“Can you find out who the man in black in the video is?”

Secretary Liu looked a little embarrassed and explained, “Director Ji, it’s not easy to check. As soon as the man in black picked up the gun, he left the safe passage. It’s really hard to check if we can’t see his face.”

“Oh, yeah!” Secretary Liu seemed to think of something suddenly, and said, “I also called up the monitoring of the CDC gate and lobby, and found that Professor Ji Zhaoyan had also visited the laboratory building at 0:52 last night.”

Ji Hongyi’s expression changed, and he said hurriedly, “Hurry up and let me see it.”

Secretary Liu closed the original video screen, opened another folder, and clicked on one of the videos.

 “Professor Ji appeared at the gate of the CDC at 0:52, walking in a hurry, as if he was very anxious. Xiao Zhao, who was on duty at the door, seemed to have no time to greet Professor Ji. Soon, Professor Ji I hurried into the elevator, but it is strange that Professor Ji never came out of the door afterwards,” Secretary Liu said, clicking on the fast forward button.
