Chapter 474 The dusty scene (please vote for the big chapter)
"I haven't heard anyone ask about my father for many years," Genos said, his smile reduced. "When my father passed away, I was still very young and I didn't know much about what he did back then."
"This incident happened about forty years ago. Did your father leave any relevant project information? We now suspect that Zaidi's case may be related to your father's assassination that year."
He Ao asked calmly.
The real murderer of Genos's senator father has not yet been found. At that time, the FBI only determined that a cult was responsible for the murder, but the specific cult and who committed the crime have never been investigated.
But as time goes by, more and more people forget about this case.
As a result, the case has become unsolved.
Genos's expression changed slightly again. It was unclear whether he was happy or sad. He just thought calmly for a while, and then said slowly,
"My father doesn't like to use electronic storage, so the information he left behind are basically paper versions, which are stored in the basement files of the villa. I can take you to see the information, but I need you to keep it secret.
Relevant content.”
"The FBI has an obligation to keep any evidence and information involving federal secrets, trade secrets, and personal privacy confidential, and we will not disclose this information to any third party other than the investigators."
He Ao nodded slightly.
Nok glanced at He Ao.
He now feels more and more that He Ao is a colleague of the FBI, a veteran-level colleague.
What Ho said just now comes from the FBI's internal rules, but only experienced veteran agents can say it so casually. Once such complete regulations are recited, they look very professional.
Anyway, Nok himself cannot remember these regulations. He can only leave a rough impression.
At this moment, Heao was looking at Genos.
FBI agents do have these obligations, and if secrets are leaked, they may be complained or even sued for damages.
Of course, the premise is to find out who leaked the information.
For ordinary people, this FBI regulation has almost no effect, because even if ordinary people have their privacy leaked, the cost of defending their rights is so high that they don't want to defend their rights.
For a senator-level figure like Genos, safeguarding rights is not a problem. He can even put pressure on the FBI through other directions, so in his eyes, this confidentiality rule is effective.
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
Genos stood up and led the three of them toward the door.
There was an elevator outside the office door, and Genos led the two of them into the negative third floor.
After the elevator opens, you are greeted by a winding corridor. The bright light shines on the pure white floor of the corridor, making it appear spacious and straight.
"It's so warm here."
Nok glanced at the light and said subconsciously.
"Although it is three floors underground, there is central air conditioning to control the temperature 24 hours a day, keeping the environment in a comfortable range. However... the temperature here seems to be a little higher than on the ground,"
Genos introduced softly as he walked out of the elevator, "The archives room is a little further inside."
He and Ao followed him and continued walking inside.
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the air outlet of the central air conditioner.
The temperature here is indeed higher than on the ground.
As a core believer of the Church of the Goddess of Life whose ears have been ringing with the whispers of the Goddess of Life, He Ao can clearly feel that the warm feeling does not come from the surface of the skin, but from the depths of the soul.
The air here is filled with life force, and it's very strong.
He Ao remained calm and continued to follow Genos.
This underground space is designed like a maze.
The three of them walked for a while, turning several turns in a row.
"The roads here are so complicated," He Ao looked around and saw various doors scattered on both sides of the corridor. He asked casually, as if unintentionally, "Is this always like this?"
"Every few generations in our family there will be someone who is dissatisfied with the standard of the family villa," Genos said with a smile, "and then they will make drastic renovations."
That said, it hasn't always been like this here.
He Ao traced his fingers across the wall, thoughtfully.
"arrive."
Genos stopped at a door, put his hand on the door, verified his fingerprints and opened the door.
The lights in the archives room naturally turned on.
This underground archive does not have any dust or musty smell. It is maintained and cleaned by specialized cleaning robots. The air-conditioning system regulates temperature and humidity so that the paper can be stored for a longer period of time.
The cost of maintaining this archives is probably no lower than renting a comfortable single room in an old building.
Genos led He and Ao to stop in front of a file rack, and took out a stack of thick folders and offset project books from a certain row of the file rack.
A transporting robot came to the side. He placed the stack of project documents on the robot, and then continued to pile stacks of information on top while Nok's eyes were stunned.
This continuous increasing behavior lasted for almost ten minutes before stopping.
Nok looked at the two piles of documents on the transport robot that were taller than him and swallowed.
"My father is a person who likes to make backups," Genos explained with a smile. "This is the data of most of the projects that he handled in our family forty years ago. Many of these data are actually duplicate documents.
There are also photocopies of some useless exchange emails, so you may have to look for them yourself."
"This..." Nok smacked his lips and looked at Genos, "Can you borrow a scanner? Scan these documents and then use text recognition software to convert them into electronic documents, and then use electronic software to process them. It should be able to
We quickly found what we were looking for.”
Nok knew that this request was actually a bit presumptuous.
But this request cannot be ignored, because Genos is not a fool, and someone must have checked their identities at this time.
There is naturally no problem with his identity, but he has already received news of his suspension, which means that he has no power to handle the case.
The friend next to him with the pseudonym ‘Zadie’ was not from the FBI in Limen City at all, and their identities could not withstand any inspection.
Of course, from the moment he walked in, 'Zadi' never said he was an FBI agent.
And when he came over, only Locke showed his FBI credentials.
Although the director suspended Nock, the suspension information will not be revised until tomorrow. Therefore, according to the FBI's official system, Nock is still an active employee.
If Genos only used the FBI system to check his identity, this disguise would basically be fine.
But if Genos goes to the FBI branch in Rimen City for inspection, the two of them will most likely be exposed.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the FBI in Limen City. Everyone in the investigation bureau is acquainted, and no one will betray Nock. After all, Nock is actually handling the case in a sense.
Moreover, the director is an extremely protective person, and the consequences of betraying other agents will be very serious.
But if Genos' people don't get information from other agents, they will definitely contact the director in the name of the senator.
Today is Saturday, and the director will go home to play with his children from 3 to 5 p.m. This is a matter of course. During this period, the director will turn off the smart bracelet and refuse any contact.
Nok glanced at his bracelet. It was now four seventeen, and there were still forty-three minutes until five o'clock.
In fact, Nok and Ho Ao came here at this time.
However, this strategy was not what Nock thought of. His only role was to provide the director with the exact time to go home to spend time with his children, as well as relevant information and intelligence within the FBI in Limen City.
The whole plan was formulated by Heao.
"Sorry," Genos replied gently but unquestionably, "my father does not believe in electronic software. In order to comply with his wishes, the information in this archive cannot be scanned."
If there really was a scanned version, Genos wouldn't have brought them to this underground archive room.
Nok opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment.
Is there really such a person who opposes electronic software in this world? This person is still a former senator...
He Ao understood this. He checked the information of Genos's father. Genos's father was a relatively extreme person who opposed large-scale electronic promotion.
He believes that these large-scale intelligent robots will eventually turn humans into waste. By then, once the programmed programs cannot control these intelligent machines, humanity will face catastrophe.
Of course, such political views are actually to cater to a group of people who are opposed to intelligent machines.
However, if he can oppose electronic software at home, it can be regarded as a unity of knowledge and action.
At this time, Nok looked at He Ao. They didn't have much time. It was almost impossible to read so much information in forty-three minutes and escape unscathed.
"It's okay," He Ao looked at Nok and said softly, "Let me check these materials. We just roughly browsed and found the target materials. Soon, you can just hand me the books next to me."
The reason why he said this was because Nok had no idea what he was looking for, and Nok's efficiency was incomparable to that of him who had super memory and received extraordinary enhancements. It would be better for him to just find it himself.
Time is enough now.
"Okay, senior."
Knock obviously also figured out He Ao's concerns. Although he wanted to help He Ao, it would be easy to do him a disservice if he didn't even know what he was looking for.
Hearing He Ao speak, the anxiety and tension in his heart decreased a lot. The time he spent with He Ao was very short, but the professionalism and reliability shown by He Ao in this short period of time made him regard He Ao as a
A senior who can really be trusted.
On the other side, hearing the name "Senior", He Ao's thoughts paused briefly.
When did I become a senior? What on earth did this guy have in mind?
He was a little confused, but he couldn't show his surprise at this time, because it would make him appear unfamiliar with Nok.
There was no pause in the movements of his hands, and he just nodded slightly to indicate that he heard Nok's response.
Behind him, Nok's thoughts flashed in his mind when he saw He Ao nodding.
Could it be that I guessed correctly that this person is really a senior?
Currently working for the FBI or have you worked for the FBI before?
While he was thinking wildly in his mind, he also moved his hands very diligently. He quickly took out a book of information and waited for He Ao to finish reading the information in his hand.
He Ao flipped through the book very quickly. He just quickly scanned the table of contents and the preface to determine whether this project was related to the small park that was the predecessor of Qunxing Zhimei Hospital.
If it is relevant, he will use super memory to quickly scan the internal content. If it is not relevant, he will directly throw the information aside.
Genos did not leave at this moment. He stood behind the two of them, staring at the back of He Ao as he flipped through the book, thoughtfully.
······
As time passes, the data on the robot becomes less and less.
And He Ao's brows were tightly knitted together.
Among these materials, he did not find any project information about the abandoned park. The only possible connection was that in some emails, Genos's father once mentioned an unnamed project.
But all he talked about was who he subcontracted a certain project to, and he did not mention the 'mysterious businessman' who originally bought the land in the abandoned park.
When the last piece of information was handed over from He Ao, he paused and turned to look at Genos behind him, "Is this all the project information from back then?"
"After my father died, this is what I compiled. All the information is here."
Genos replied slowly.
He Ao raised his hand and glanced at the bracelet. At 4:42 pm, it only took him twenty-five minutes to read the information completely.
There are still eighteen minutes left.
He Ao looked at Genos and continued to ask, "The crime scene was said to be in the basement?"
"On this floor."
Genos said naturally.
"Can we go take a look?"
At this time, Nok on the side seemed to understand He Ao's motives, and he asked at the right time.
"Sorry," Genos shook his head, "That place was cleared by the servants at the time shortly after the investigation reached a deadlock. My father needs to return to heaven quietly."
As he said that, he looked at He Ao, "There should be detailed files on the case in the FBI?"
"I want to see it on site,"
He Ao calmly replied, "Is that room still there?"
"It's still there, but there's nothing left," Genos turned sideways and motioned for He and Ao to come out first, "Follow me."
He Ao looked back and saw that the transport robot was putting books back on the bookshelf one by one.
Genos at the door was watching him at this moment.
He Ao withdrew his gaze and walked out of the archives room.
Genos locked the door and led the two of them forward along the winding corridor.
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the wall in front of him. He seemed to have reached the edge of the underground space. What appeared in He Ao's field of vision was a long straight wall.
After walking for about two or three minutes, the three of them stopped at a relatively open three-way intersection.
"It was here that year," Genos seemed to fall into some kind of memory, "my father died in front of me."
He Ao stood in the center of this intersection, and he felt the strong life force here.
There are some cards, there should be more updates tomorrow.
