Time passed slowly amid Lu Ming's pain, anxiety, and longing and worry for his family.

Finally, one day, Lu Ming saw Zhang Dingshan's figure in the video screen again.

"The test results are out."

Zhang Dingshan looked sternly and said to Lu Ming in an inexplicably serious tone: "Although the result cannot be 100% confirmed, Professor Shi is at least 80% sure that you faked your death before. You are Lu Ming."

"Nonsense, am I myself? Do I still know?"

I only complained about this sentence in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out.

But thinking that this could at least rule out the possibility that he was a "replica", Lu Ming felt a little more relaxed.

After all, from a certain perspective, it is possible for the replica to have exactly the same memory as the original body. "I know I am Lu Ming", but I am not really sure that I am the original Lu Ming.

"This is the relevant inspection data and inspection report." Zhang Dingshan said: "After careful inspection, Professor Shi found a very small amount of a certain complex compound in your kidney living specimen. And this, according to speculation and simulation, is extremely It may be the main component of a certain compound drug. In biological experiments, Professor Shi found that this substance can cause biological cells to fall into a hibernation state similar to 'death'. From this, Professor Shi believes that 伱There is at least an 80% chance that the previous suspended animation was due to the ingestion of this substance, which caused oneself to fall into a state of 'hibernation', and the external manifestation was death."

The state of "hibernation" currently only exists in certain animals, such as bears and certain frogs. But in science fiction fantasy, hibernation is an enduring concept.

Using some method to put humans into a state of hibernation, freezing time and age, and thus embarking on long interstellar voyages is a concept commonly used in science fiction works. As a part-time science fiction writer, Lu Ming certainly knows a lot about this concept.

At the same time, he also knows that in the real world, many top scientists are conducting research in this field. Although they are still far from truly realizing human hibernation, they have achieved certain results.

There are even some dying rich people who choose to take a gamble and "freeze" themselves before they die, hoping that one day in the future, with the development of technology, they will have enough technology to wake them up.

At this moment, hearing Zhang Dingshan's narration, Lu Ming felt as if science fiction had come to reality.

But... how could I be so virtuous that I let that secret organization not hesitate to use this advanced drug that surpasses human technology to deal with me?

"At this point, the secret organization's modus operandi can basically be confirmed."

Zhang Dingshan continued: "First, this drug is used to put you into a death-like hibernation state. Then, in conjunction with the cremation industry of the funeral home, you are dropped at the last moment of the cremation and your 'remains' are stolen. From this, it is completed. This time, no one was aware of it, no one knew about it, and no one paid attention to the kidnapping."

From that moment on, in a social sense, Lu Ming was dead. What remains in the minds of everyone he knows is his past appearance and impression, which will never be updated again.

However, because of an accident - most likely an accident, Lu Ming came back to life and came to the human world again.

Lu Ming fell into silence.

As of now, only a small part of the whole thing has been clarified. More truth remains hidden in the fog.

So...how to proceed? In which direction should we investigate?

Lu Ming asked this question.

"Unfortunately, we don't have any good investigation direction for the time being."

Zhang Dingshan's answer made Lu Ming a little disappointed.

"Except for the investigation of the explosion site, which has been confirmed to be an explosion caused by a high-speed impact, there is currently no other results. Your investigation has also reached a dead end because of the assassination of Huo Chemical Industry."

Lu Ming murmured: "A period of time before I became ill, who did I come into contact with and who might have given me drugs? Has this been checked? Was there any abnormality in the crematorium beforehand? Who did he come into contact with? There is a suspicion, have you investigated?"

He Wei glanced at Lu Ming with some dissatisfaction, as if she was offended: "These are just basic operations you mentioned. We have been checking these things for a long time. We don't talk about it because we haven't found anything valuable."

Lu Ming lowered his head, his brain spinning rapidly.

He has been under tremendous pressure for some time. This not only comes from the physical aspect of being under house arrest, numerous and extremely painful examinations, but also from the mental aspect.

Confusion and fear about the future, longing and worry for relatives, longing for normal life, etc. If he hadn't had a better psychological quality, he would have been crushed long ago.

But perhaps because of this, Lu Ming's thoughts were spinning faster than ever before. Then, an inspiration suddenly jumped out.

"Wait! Maybe we can..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming closed his mouth.

The inspiration that came to his mind was that in this world, he might not be the only one who has experienced this kind of thing!

I'm afraid there are others who have also been kidnapped by this method without anyone noticing. Even now, this kind of kidnapping method may be in progress. A body is lying in an unknown morgue at the moment. The corpse might be a victim like himself!

The next investigation can completely start from this point!

Hasn’t Professor Shi Guofu already found that compound? Next, we can start examining the kidney specimens of recent deceased people to see if we can find traces of this compound again.

If this compound is also detected in the kidney specimen of a certain corpse, then the corpse can be used as bait, secretly monitored, and the hidden tissue fished out!

When he first thought of this plan, Lu Ming felt a little excited. But he immediately realized that this plan might not have practical significance.

With such a large population in the world, the number of deaths every day may be as high as hundreds of thousands. With so many people, they are just looking for the kidney specimens that may or may not exist. Even if there are, on average, there will be less than one per day. The body of that compound?

This is unrealistic when you think about it.

"Tell me what you think."

Lu Ming sighed: "I'm afraid this method won't work. My idea is that I'm not the only one who has experienced this kind of thing... but there are too many deaths, and it can't be investigated."

Zhang Dingshan smiled slightly, and He Wei's eyes were a little more surprised, as if he was surprised that Lu Ming could think of this method.

"You're quite smart."

Lu Ming laughed at himself: "I am a part-time science fiction writer, and I always have a big imagination."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Originally I didn't plan to tell you the direction of our next investigation, but you have figured it out yourself, so there is nothing wrong with telling you. Yes, we do plan to investigate the dead population next, and we have already contacted We have established three laboratories capable of conducting this kind of specimen testing, and millions of hospitals around the world are also connecting with them, so we can start real investigation soon."

Lu Ming raised his head in shock.

He didn't expect that Zhang Dingshan's handiwork would be so big!

"Your thinking hasn't changed yet." He Wei pointed to her head: "You have to know that you are not fighting alone. Behind you is the entire civilization."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that the world government would take this matter so seriously."

"The world government does attach great importance to this matter. But doing this is not as troublesome as you think. Based on the type of 'hibernation suspended animation', we can rule out death due to surgical operations, and we can rule out death due to Deaths caused by past medical conditions can also exclude many other death types. In this way, the number of people who ultimately need to carry out specimen testing may not even be one in a thousand. More than 99% of hospitals may not encounter a need for it in a month. The deceased who started testing. In this way, we can complete this matter with very low administrative costs."

Lu Ming breathed out softly.

"Then let's wait and see if there are any more victims."

The development of things was somewhat beyond the expectations of Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

He Wei originally thought that she would have to wait for a while before she could gain anything, but she did not expect that after smoothing out all aspects of the relationship and sending the first batch of specimens to the designated laboratory for testing, the results appeared.

Facing Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, Professor Shi Guofu, who was recruited again, said solemnly: "Specimen No. 815 has detected the same compound as Lu Ming. I have reason to suspect that Specimen No. 815 The owner is also in a state of suspended animation at the moment. This is the relevant testing data, and these are the signatures of all parties involved in the cross-examination."

The owner of specimen No. 815 is a 36-year-old young man. The address is Heilong City, and the time of death was 39 hours ago.

"There are actually victims..."

He Wei couldn't help but have this idea in her mind. She knew that with the emergence of the second victim, many previous speculations could be overturned and denied.

For example, Lu Ming's resurrection from the dead was not an accident. For example, Lu Ming is really not a monster, not an alien, but a real human being. for example……

Many, many.

"I suspect this is a public health incident." Shi Guofu said solemnly: "It is still unclear what caused this disease, whether it is a new type of virus, whether it is contagious, etc. But I think it should be taken seriously. , it is best to report it to the Ministry of Health for inspection. It would be terrible if it becomes a large-scale epidemic."

Zhang Dingshan could not use facts to relieve Shi Guofu's worries. He just said: "Don't worry, we will handle this matter and we will handle it properly."
