Chapter 226: Chapter 53: The Injustice is Cleared_2 Chapter 226: Chapter 53: The Injustice is Cleared_2 The murderers were brazen in killing, but they were not foolish.
If they clearly sensed police ambushes and roadblocks, they wouldn’t risk it.
They would likely wait patiently for the next opportunity.
If this tug of war continued…
the police would only beco more passive over ti.
“Everyone’s right, we’re mainly facing two difficulties now,”
the male team mber summarized while leaning on the table:
“[First, we can’t let the murderers detect our actions, including protecting the scientists, setting up roadblocks and nets, otherwise they won’t take the bait.]”
“[Second, if we don’t ambush in advance, we can’t protect the lives of the scientists.
Even if we catch the murderers afterwards, the cost is too great.]”
“These are two contradictory points.
...
Moreover, if we ambush at five target locations simultaneously…
the action is truly too large, it’s impossible not to alert the murderers.
And once they are alerted, they will cancel the operation, and we will never catch them this way.”
…
Listening to everyone discussing, Lin Xian twirled his pen without speaking.
In fact, he had a concern in his heart.
He looked around at the team mbers…
Ji Lin had left, that’s true.
But among the remaining team mbers, within this police station, was there still a mole for Ji Lin?
Or rather, was there a lookout for Ji Lin and his group?
He wasn’t distrusting his colleagues per se.
But given the opposition was extrely intelligent and cunning…
Lin Xian dared not trust these team mbers easily.
Although they appeared to be on his side, it wasn’t impossible that they were being used by Ji Lin.
Furthermore, if they really deployed a large number of people for an ambush, it would inevitably leak the plan, making it even less possible to catch the murderers.
“Lin Xian, what do you think?”
The male colleague smiled at Lin Xian:
“Ji Lin said before he left that you’ve been at the cri scene twice, so you have a better intuition and feeling for the murderers’ intentions than we do.
Among these five scientists…
who do you think is most likely to be the murderers’ assassination target?”
Lin Xian stopped twirling his pen, thoughtful:
“…I can’t make a decision now, I need so ti to think.”
The male colleague nodded and looked at the others:
“This is indeed no small matter; we must proceed with caution.
A single wrong decision could not only result in the murderers’ escape, but also the death of a scientist, so…
everyone go back and think it over, and we will discuss it again at tomorrow’s routine eting.
Rember, keep everything confidential!”
“eting adjourned.”
…
At noon, Lin Xian returned ho for the first ti in a while.
After locking the door, he went to bed to sleep.
He felt more and more as if he was still under Ji Lin’s surveillance, perhaps every move he made at the police station was being watched by Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun.
However.
This was also an opportunity for him to break the deadlock.
And the key to breaking the deadlock was to obtain more intelligence, more information.
If only he could know which scientist would be targeted for murder.
At the mont, the only place where he could obtain this “foreknowledge” was in his dreams, within New Donghai City, at that chain bookstore filled with books.
“I’ll try my luck.”
Lin Xian closed his eyes and entered the world of dreams…
…
…
In the nightti New Donghai City, the bookstore.
Lin Xian had beco familiar with this place, as if returning ho.
He used the cash register computer to look up the nas of the five scientists who arrived in Donghai City on April 12th.
The library guidance system 600 years later was very user-friendly, not like the libraries of 2023 where you could only search by book title.
Here you could even retrieve the contents of each book, as long as you entered the keywords.
Any book containing those keywords would be listed for you.
But such technological advancents were to be expected.
After all, New Donghai City was much more developed in all aspects than the real world, so having this search capability was not surprising.
Lin Xian first entered the nas of the four scientists related to hibernation research and then clicked search each ti.
The result…
All ca up with ‘no person found’.
It seed that these four individuals had beco insignificant over the span of 600 years, not even riting a ntion.
Driven by curiosity, Lin Xian entered Xu Yun.
As expected, there were quite a few results.
Many books ntioned the na Xu Yun, calling him the Father of Hibernation, along with many comndations.
There was also a book that ntioned Xu Yun died in a car accident, and then there were no other details.
Next, he input Tang Xin’s na…
Again, no information was found.
“Indeed, 600 years is simply too long a ti, long enough to bury everything,”
Lin Xian mused.
Only people of the stature of Xu Yun or Einstein could hope to have their nas etched into history.
Lin Xian then entered his own na…
“Heh.”
He also ca up with ‘no person found’.
It didn’t matter.
If even MX Company left no trace in history, what was he but a re speck?
The Rhein Cat, no matter how popular, was just a toy and couldn’t be compared to Xu Yun’s Hibernation Pod or Einstein’s great achievents.
With a just-try-it attitude, Lin Xian typed in the na ‘Academician Lyon’ and hit the search button—
The page instantly refreshed.
Whirr, whirr, whirr!
Incredibly, lots of information popped up!
The amount of information was even more than that of Professor Xu Yun!
“It seems that this is indeed a heavyweight figure,”
Lin Xian thought.
It made sense.
His Room Temperature Superconductor was a precursor technology to controlled nuclear fusion.
Although he might not be titled as the Father of Controlled Nuclear Fusion…
any ntion of controlled nuclear fusion couldn’t omit his significant contributions, right?
Moreover, in New Donghai City, technology still hadn’t conquered controlled nuclear fusion; only mini nuclear batteries had beco widespread.
Under such circumstances, controlled nuclear fusion would undoubtedly attract far more attention than the already-realized Hibernation Pod.
However…
As Lin Xian browsed through the search results, his brows furrowed more and more.
He had expected all this information to be full of praise and adoration for Academician Lyon.
But the reality was the complete opposite!
Nearly all the books had nothing but criticism and censure for Academician Lyon!
Words like academic scamr, plagiarist, deserving death, and dirty tactics nearly drowned out Academician Lyon’s na.
“What’s going on here?”
Lin Xian couldn’t understand.
In his ti of 2023, Academician Lyon had already been hailed as a star of humanity, with nurous institutions verifying his theories and experintal data as correct.
How could it be that such a figure had beco the target of public scorn in the future?
Lin Xian continued to scan through the excerpts filled with abuse and eventually found a useful piece of information—
[…Not until three years after Academician Lyon’s death in a car accident did Doctor Pang Simai finally clear his na.
From then on, the investigation into Academician Lyon comnced, and the sordid truth behind this academic fraud was thus revealed…]
