Lord of Puro

Chapter 569 Three Axes

Shen Jingye sorted out the information page by page and came to Li Qi's office.

"Director Li, Du Wenming is on vacation."

"When did you take a break?"

"Yesterday, starting from Monday, actually starting from last weekend, he took a week off. That means he had no alibi when Yu Yaoming was kidnapped!"

Li Banfeng said, "Wasn't it Du Wenming who called you today and asked you to attend the meeting?"

"That's because something happened in the lab, and the higher-ups canceled his vacation. When he called me, he had just returned to the office."

Li Banfeng said earnestly, "Comrade Xiao Du is familiar to us. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to list him as a suspect just because he took two days off?"

Shen Jingye looked at Li Banfeng. It was obvious that Li Banfeng should not say such words. Such words should come from the mouth of the superiors.

Li Banfeng was helping Shen Jingye to respond. If he wanted to formally investigate Du Wenming or even arrest Du Wenming, someone would definitely come forward to obstruct him. These were all problems he had to face.

"I not only have an alibi, but also other clues."

"No matter how many clues we have, we can't wrongly accuse a good person," Li Banfeng's tone became deeper, "My colleagues all know that Xiao Du is not a dark power user and can't use dark powers!"

Shen Jingye gave Li Banfeng a piece of information: "According to the official resume, although Du Wenming is not a dark energy user, he has worked in the Guanfang Office for a long time. Most of his work experience is from Pro Province, which makes him qualified to become a repairman."

"Conditions alone are not enough. Where is the evidence?"

Shen Jingye took out another document: "Du Wenming is a radio enthusiast. He has joined two radio enthusiast groups."

Radio amateur?
Li Banfeng wanted to ask a question, but didn't open his mouth because the question might reveal his age.

Radio enthusiasts are a special group active in the 1980s. They have mastered a certain degree of communication knowledge and use radio equipment they assembled themselves to communicate with other enthusiasts through radio signals in different frequency bands.

In the era when the Internet was not yet popular, although this method of communication did not allow people to meet in person, they could hear each other's voices, which was obviously better than traditional pen pals. However, because the threshold of the radio circle was too high, its coverage was very limited.

Li Banfeng looked at the relevant information and asked: "In this era, are there still people playing with radio?"

Shen Jingye said: "This circle has always been very active. We feel unfamiliar with it because we know too little about them.
Last month, Du Wenming also purchased a batch of components through a radio amateur organization. Here is the list. ”

Li Banfeng looked at the list and said, "They still use electron tubes? These devices can be put in a museum."

Shen Jingye said: "I just learned that in the radio industry, there is a retro fashion that uses original equipment.
The radio amateur group that Du Wenming joined was legal, and the components he purchased were also legal.

However, many of these relatively primitive electronic devices are not standardized and are very difficult to use and assemble. This proves from one aspect that Du Wenming understands a certain degree of craftsmanship. "

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Xiao Shen, this is too far-fetched. You can't just say that someone can make a radio device and then say that he is a repairman, right?"

This tone sounded very much like some of Shen Jingye's superiors. Li Banfeng was right. If they wanted to investigate Du Wenming, these doubts were unavoidable.

But Shen Jingye could only do this: "As of now, there are only so many clues we can get. It is unrealistic to arrest Du Wenming for questioning given his identity, and it is impossible to get permission to search his home.

The investigation of the people around him and related organizations can only go so far. Du Wenming is an expert. If we continue to investigate in depth, we will definitely alert the enemy."

Li Banfeng glanced at the equipment list again.

Du Wenming likes radio, is it really just a hobby?
Is there any necessary connection between this and his kidnapping of Yu Yaoming?

Li Banfeng couldn't figure out the problem by himself, so this matter needed to be handled by professionals.

The Dark Star Bureau also has communications professionals, and Shen Jingye called Cheng Zhiyuan, a backbone of the communications department.

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the list for a long time and introduced the functions of each component: "The main function of the rectifier tube is to convert AC into DC, the function of the amplifier tube is to amplify the audio signal, and the function of the frequency converter tube is..."

Shen Jingye frowned and said, "Who told you to say that? I've been listening to your class. I want to ask you, what can the components on this list make up?"

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't see that."

Li Banfeng asked, "You really can't tell, or you don't dare to say it?"

Cheng Zhiyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Director Li, you are making things difficult for me."

Li Banfeng and Shen Jingye both understand this technical backbone.

It's like someone buys a few pieces of glass and a box of glue. He may want to make a handmade fish tank, but he may also want to make a handmade mirror. Or he may not want to make either a mirror or a fish tank, but just want to stick a piece of glass on the table.

Normally, it's okay to make an inference when people are just chatting, but in the Dark Star Bureau, a wrong inference may lead to serious consequences, so Cheng Zhiyuan said nothing before receiving a formal order.

But under the current circumstances, Shen Jingye couldn't give a formal order, so Li Banfeng simply took the list and went to find his own channels.

He also has experts who may not be familiar with advanced equipment from other states, but when it comes to this kind of antique equipment, Luo Zhengnan is an expert among experts.

After returning to his residence, Li Banfeng called Luo Zhengnan and told him the contents of the list.

After Luo Zhengnan heard this, he was also a little puzzled: "Seventh Master, the things this person bought are a bit scattered, I can only make a rough guess.
These things can be used to make TV antennas, radios, and if you want to be more advanced, you can also make radio telescopes.
But based on my experience, the probability of making a radio is higher. I have such a radio on hand and I will show it to you someday. "

"Don't postpone it to another day. I'm quite anxious here. Let's go over and take a look today." Li Banfeng arrived at Lushui City via Tiemenbao, and Luo Zhengnan prepared the radio.

In the eyes of young people, a radio is something that is either installed in a car or held in the hands of an old man in the park. It is only the size of a palm.

The radio Li Banfeng saw this time was taller than him and about the same size as the wardrobe in his home.

Luo Zhengnan opened the back door of the radio and introduced the components one by one.

"The electrical signal in Prostate is very weak, and the semiconductor materials from other states are useless. The electron tube has a good response characteristic in the high frequency band. Moreover, this thing has good stability and is not picky about the environment. It is not as delicate as those new equipment from other states.

Electron tube equipment is also easy to repair. If a tube breaks, you can just replace it. It’s not like those high-end equipment where if one tube breaks, you have to replace a whole piece.”

Li Banfeng roughly understood something. He turned on his cell phone, but only heard a series of noises.

"Seventh Master, don't be anxious. The signals received by electronic equipment alone are still very limited. If you want to listen to the radio in Prostate, you need some special materials." Luo Zhengnan took a wooden box, took out an antenna from the box, and connected it to the radio.

This antenna is very special, it is the one he usually inserts into his brain.

After plugging in the antenna and carefully turning the knob, the radio finally found a station.

Amid the cheerful sounds of gongs, drums and flutes, Li Banfeng heard an advertisement:
"Brother, why haven't you harvested your sorghum yet?"

"I dare not harvest it. I just chopped up my sixth uncle at the entrance of the village two days ago, and his body is still lying in the field. Once I harvest the sorghum, the body will be gone. Sixth Aunt will definitely not forgive me!"

"It's not a good idea to just hide it like this. Have you ever used the corpse-transforming spirit of Ma Laosan's family? With one spoonful, it's clean and there's no residue left. There's only a little bit of liquid left, which seeps directly into the soil. You don't even have to clean it up!"

"Is he really that smart?"

"It's an old brand, a well-known brand. I'm a regular customer of theirs, how can I cheat you?"

After hearing the advertisement, Li Banfeng opened his mouth wide: "This kind of medicine can be advertised publicly?"

Luo Zhengnan smiled and said, "This is the custom in Provo. No matter what we do, we always insist on being straightforward."

Li Banfeng was very angry: "This is not a question of whether it is right or wrong. This medicine itself is unreasonable. Do you know how precious a corpse is? He dissolved it with just one spoonful of medicine. Making this kind of medicine is a waste of things and a waste of resources!"

Luo Zhengnan was a little puzzled: "After killing the person, what should we do with the body..."

"Leave it to me. I have plenty of ideas. Let's put up an ad tomorrow..."

Before he could finish his words, a sweet voice appeared on the radio.

"Dear listeners, I am Ah Hui. It is the busy farming season again. I would like to express my gratitude to all my fellow farmers for their hard work."

Hearing this voice, Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time.

Luo Zhengnan smiled and said, "Seventh Master, isn't this voice sweet? This is the best anchor in the entire Pro State."

"the best?"

"Isn't it? Listen again."

The sound quality of the radio is a bit rough, but it can't cover up the sweetness of the voice: "In the busy season, the mentality is easy to change. When you have a conflict with others, you must think twice before acting.
In two months, it will be the snowy season. No matter whether it is new or old, it is best to settle it in the snow so that it will be easier to deal with the bodies and other aftermath matters..."

Li Banfeng looked at the antenna on the radio carefully and said, "With this antenna, can I receive this radio station in other states?"

Luo Zhengnan nodded and said, "You can also call me from other states. The principle is the same."

"What is this antenna made of?"

Luo Zhengnan hesitated for a moment.

Li Banfeng said: "It's okay if you don't want to say it. I won't force you to do it."

This antenna is where Luo Zhengnan makes his living. But since Li Qi asked, Luo Zhengnan still said: "Iron, manganese, nickel, these materials are not mentioned. The most important material is the Tianxin Stone.

When refining this antenna, a small piece of Tianxin Stone was melted, about the size of a fingernail. Without this Tianxin Stone, this antenna would only be worth 60 pieces of Huanguo notes. With this Tianxin Stone, even 6,000 dollars might not be enough to buy it. "

The Tianxin Stone has a guiding function, which Li Banfeng is very clear about. In the beginning, Chu Shaoqiang relied on the Tianxin Stone to send Daogui Ridge to Shengxian Peak.

Maybe this thing can also guide electromagnetic signals.

If Du Wenming also has a device similar to a radio, does he also have the Tianxin Stone?

Of course, he invested such a huge amount of money not just to listen to the radio, he must have also conducted research in other areas.

He kidnapped Yu Yaoming to prove that some of Yu Yaoming's research and his had overlapped, and that Yu Yaoming might even have achieved the results he wanted.

The achievements are definitely not limited to theory. What else has Yu Yaoming researched?
Li Banfeng immediately returned to Yuezhou and went to the Dark Star Bureau. He called Shen Jingye and asked, "Who is in charge of guarding Yu Yaoming's laboratory now?"

"At present, the people from the dark matter laboratory are in charge of guarding the laboratory, but the task of finding Yu Yaoming falls on us. We can take over the laboratory at any time." Shen Jingye was about to call the laboratory.

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Don't take over yet. Such a big thing just happened. Even if the laboratory is useless, they will definitely increase their vigilance at this time and will not easily leave opportunities for the opponent."

Shen Jingye asked, "Are you sure that Du Wenming will attack the laboratory?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure, I can only say that the probability is very high. Find me a place to stay near Yu Yaoming's laboratory. Don't alert the people in the laboratory. I will go over tonight to keep an eye on them. Now I'm worried that Du Wenming won't dare to go to the laboratory easily."

Shen Jingye asked, "Is there any way to lure him over there?"

"Yes," Li Banfeng thought for a while and had a general idea in his mind, "You communicate with the people in the research room. I want to investigate Yu Yaoming's students."

Shen Jingye said: "If necessary, we can take over all his students."

Li Banfeng shook his head: "You don't need to take over. Just arrange an investigation. Then someone will send a letter to Du Wenming. Du Wenming will call you at that time. You must respond properly."

Shen Jingye went to arrange accommodation near the laboratory, and Li Banfeng went to the hospital to visit his high school and college classmate, Fang Yufei.

Before leaving, Li Banfeng put on makeup and a fake beard. In addition, he asked his wife to stick some clay on his face to make his face look much rounder.

To make sure that he would not be easily recognized, Li Banfeng went to the hospital, showed his ID to the agent sent by the laboratory, and entered Fang Yufei's ward.

The agent from the research lab didn't see Li Banfeng's ID clearly, so he chased him to the door and asked, "Can I trouble you to register?"

Li Banfeng turned around and looked at the agent expressionlessly.

The agent felt a chill and didn't dare ask any more questions. He quietly closed the door of the ward.

In fact, there is no need to ask more questions. The higher-ups have already informed us that someone from the Dark Star Bureau is coming. This is an arranged job. Why should I meddle in other people's business?

The agent consoled himself and sat back at the door of the ward. Li Banfeng pulled a chair and sat opposite Fang Yufei.

Fang Yufei really didn't recognize Li Banfeng, because her glasses were confiscated by the Dark Star Bureau. She looked at the bearded man in front of her nervously and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Li Banfeng waved his ID in front of Fang Yufei and said, "I am the investigator in charge of this case. I am here to ask you a few questions."

Fang Yufei shook her head and said, "I have said everything I can say. What else do you want to ask?"

"Don't be nervous, these are just a few simple questions. You were also at the scene on the day of the crime. Did you want to help your mentor at that time?"

Fang Yufei lowered her head and said, "We had this idea at first, but then we saw the teacher was arrested and we were all scared."

Paranoid, yet very real.

After spending a long time with Yu Yaoming, similar changes seem to occur.

Li Banfeng asked again: "After your teacher was arrested, did you ever think of rescuing him?"

"No, absolutely not!" Fang Yufei denied it flatly. "After the teacher was arrested, we were also arrested. We don't have the ability or the courage to do that."

"Besides you students, are there any other members in Yu Yaoming's organization?"

"What organization are you talking about?" Fang Yufei shook her head repeatedly, "We don't have an organization. We are just an ordinary teacher-student relationship."

"Still quibbling!" Li Banfeng said in a more serious tone, "Who was the person sitting next to you at the academic conference?"

Fang Yufei said: "It's Han Yuelong. We are from the same school and our majors are somewhat similar, but he is not a student of our instructor."

"Besides him?"

"The person sitting on the other side is a man, I don't know him."

"You don't know me?" Li Banfeng frowned. Is she deliberately protecting me? She seemed to have said that she would never forget me.

"I really don't know him. I seem to have talked to him a little bit, and he seems to have done some research on wormholes, but I really forgot what we talked about!"

It doesn't seem like she's lying.

It seemed like someone had erased part of her memory.

What method did that person use?
The purpose of that person's doing this should be to protect me. If Fang Yufei's memory had not been erased, during the investigation, the Dark Star Bureau and the Dark Matter Research Laboratory would have come to a conclusion that Li Banfeng is Li Qi.

Li Banfeng looked at Fang Yufei, with a bit of authority surging from him: "I know your organization is still trying to rescue Yu Yaoming. You can continue to quibble, but if you continue to refuse to cooperate with the investigation, you and Yu Yaoming will face the most severe punishment!"

Fang Yufei sat on the bed, her body convulsing.

Li Banfeng got up and left.

Not long after walking, I heard Fang Yufei screaming, "I didn't, I didn't lie! I'm telling the truth! It's the truth..."

The agent outside heard the shouting and rushed in, calling a doctor to help control the emotional Fang Yufei.

Li Banfeng turned around and glanced at Fang Yufei.

She is very beautiful and excellent.

I hope she can remember this fear and not be like Yu Yaoming and get involved in a force that she cannot control.

Will Du Wenming know the situation in the hospital?
Li Banfeng firmly believed that he would know.

Because the agent in charge of guarding the door had already taken out his phone to report to his superiors.

……

Shen Jingye had just chosen a place to live near the laboratory when he received a call from Du Wenming.

"Director Shen, what's going on with you? You just arranged an interrogation and you drove the witness crazy?"

Shen Jingye quickly apologized: "We sent a new person over, and he might have been a little impatient."

"Luckily this is in the hospital, Fang Yufei's condition is under control by the doctor. If this happened in your Dark Star Bureau, I wonder how you will end up."

"Director Du has taught me that I will deal with this matter seriously."

"I really don't know what you are thinking. Do you suspect that Yu Yaoming was kidnapped by Fang Yufei? Do you think she has the ability to do that?"

"Director Du, we think that Yu Yaoming has more than just Fang Yufei under his command. He has a fairly large organization under his command. Yu Yaoming is the head of the organization, and Fang Yufei and others are important members of the organization.
This organization launched a rescue operation and kidnapped Yu Yaoming from the laboratory. Fang Yufei and several other students must have key clues about Yu Yaoming!"

Du Wenming thought for a moment and said, "I agree with your point of view, but you must pay attention to the methods and approaches during the investigation. Tomorrow I will hand over these students to the Dark Star Bureau. I will take the responsibility for this matter for you. You should hurry up and investigate."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingye wiped the sweat off his face. He recalled the content of the call to make sure he had not revealed any flaws.

Du Wenming sat behind his desk, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips.

Shen Jingye directed his criticism at those students.

After all, the Dark Star Bureau still relies on these three tricks.

……

In the evening, Li Banfeng came to the residence arranged by Shen Jingye.

Yu Yaoming's laboratory is very remote. There are two faculty dormitories nearby, both of which have been emptied out of the laboratory. There is also a warehouse a little further away. The warehouse managers have all evacuated, but there is no one guarding the warehouse. The only suitable place to live is here.

Li Banfeng is not picky, he lives in Suishenju anyway.

Shen Jingye also arranged an assistant for Li Banfeng, special forces officer Geng Congyi.

The man was about fifty years old, strong, and was very polite to Li Banfeng: "Director Li, I am a Severer, known as a Blade Cultivator in Pro Province, and I have a certain ability to restrain Worker Cultivators."

"Blade Cultivator?" Li Banfeng had heard of the name, but he didn't know much about this sect. "How do you restrain the Craftsman Cultivator?"

Geng Congyi replied: "By cutting off the connection between the craftsman and the weapon, the blade cultivator is good at slashing, which can cut through matter and also cut off the connection between energy."

Shen Jingye helped explain: "To put it bluntly, if we encounter a puppet again, Lao Geng can cut the strings and the puppet will naturally stop working!"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "This is indeed a good helper, Lao Geng, it will be hard to spy here, can you bear it?"

Geng Congyi stood up straight: "Don't worry, Director, I will complete the task."

That night, Li Banfeng asked Lao Geng to stay on standby in the warehouse while he went to the laboratory to conduct some preliminary investigation.

After avoiding the guards, opening the door lock, and controlling the surveillance equipment with the projector, Li Banfeng began his investigation.

He took out the gloves and asked, "Is there anything valuable?"

"Yes, there are good things!" Gloves went around each device one by one, took out an iron box from the resonator, a glass tube from the spectrometer, and removed a resistor from the interferometer...

After disassembling more than 30 parts, Li Banfeng asked the gloves: "What is the use of this?"

Gloves said: "I don't know what they are used for, but these things are very valuable anyway."

Li Banfeng took away all the paper materials in the laboratory and copied all the data on several computers. He then washed his gloves and restored all the data boxes and folders to their original state, filling them with white paper so that there was no visible flaw from the outside.

After everything was settled, Li Banfeng left the laboratory and sent all the things to his residence.

The lady looked at these components and didn't think they were of any use, but she was somewhat interested in the experimental data that Li Banfeng brought back.

Gloves felt a little aggrieved: "Mother-in-law, take a closer look, this thing is very valuable."

Suishenju trembled for a while, and the old man spoke: "Ah Qi, bring it to the third room, let me take a look."

Gloves shook his index finger and said, "Old man, let's take a look, but please tell me before you do anything."

Suishenju was getting impatient: "Bring it here quickly, it's just a pile of junk, and you think it's a treasure."

Li Banfeng and Mitiao brought a pile of spare parts into the third room, put them on the ground, and waited for the old man to appreciate them.

The old man did not comment. Li Banfeng only saw a pile of parts disappearing one after another.

When the last circuit board disappeared, the old man sighed: "You are kind-hearted and finally brought good things home. These are priceless treasures."

Gloves let out a long sigh: "Boss, listen to me, I told you that I can't make a mistake.
Old man, I've given you all the good stuff, but you should at least tell me the origin of this treasure!"

The old man said: "These are all Tianxin stones."

Gloves was shocked. "They are all Heart of Heaven Stone? Can Heart of Heaven Stone grow like this?"

"It's not a complete Tianxin Stone, but Tianxin Stone melted in these things. I don't know much about the power engineering methods of other states. After I study it for a while, I should be able to find some clues."

Gloves nodded and said, "I can't see any clues, but maybe I can see a station. Old man, Tianxin Stone is a good material for building a large station, right?"

Snapped!
A broom flew over and slapped the gloves to the ground. Suishenju warned earnestly, "Ah Qi, this thing must have an extraordinary origin. We must deal with the aftermath properly and never let others find out about it.

We are not greedy for money, but we must not let others take back what we have!"

Li Banfeng took note of the old man's teachings and returned to the laboratory wearing gloves.

He stayed in the laboratory for so long, but the agents in the dark matter laboratory had no reaction at all. It was not because they were not doing their job, but because their abilities were really limited.

Li Banfeng handed the newly arrived lens oil to the projector and said, "Next, we will have to rely on our new friends."

"Seventh Director, do you also believe that they are alive?"

"I believe that as long as you are my friend, you will enjoy happiness and never suffer any loss."

The projector was very confident about this mission: "Director Seven, from now on, there will be dozens of eyes working together to complete the mission you entrusted to us."

……

The next night, a puppet wearing a big brown hat, blond hair, blue eyes and a long nose walked into the laboratory.

He continued to walk sideways between the equipment, his body not moving up and down, his steps surprisingly steady.

He first turned on the resonator, raised his left arm, and fumbled in the spectrometer for a moment.

He didn't find the resistor he was looking for.

He took out the blueprint from his pocket and checked it. He found the right equipment, but a key part was missing.

He checked the spectrometer again, but couldn't find the part he was looking for.

He crawled under the resonance instrument again and just opened the bottom cover when he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Someone has entered the laboratory. All personnel, take your positions and prepare for battle."

The agents from the laboratory rushed into the scene first, followed by Li Qi and Geng Congyi.

The puppet was still under the resonance device, and his feet couldn't help but tremble.

PS: Xiao Shen, do you really think Li Qi doesn’t want any reward? He has just started to take action!
