Chapter 966 The Second Type of Cloning

Zhang Heng's words stunned Xu Qian for a full two seconds, and she even forgot to take a breath. It wasn't until she choked on the cigarette she had just inhaled that she coughed and said, "This is too ridiculous, as you There are a lot of clones in New Shanghai 0297. In addition to those with marks on the back of their necks, there are also people like me...how do you put it, another batch of unnumbered clones."

"That's right." Zhang Heng nodded.

"How did you come to such a conclusion? Just because the boss and wife of Fuji didn't admit that I worked there, and Jiang Hong and the landlord said that the original tenants of 714 were a family of three? Then you think it's not just me , are there many unknown clones like me in this city?”

"You are not the only one in this situation." Zhang Heng said calmly.

"What?"

"I went to your boyfriend's company two days ago."

"Wait, are you still investigating him without telling me?" Xu Qian was a little angry when she heard this, "Didn't I tell you many times that the tracking matter ends here?"

"I heard what you said, but it has nothing to do with you being followed, it's just my personal interest," Zhang Heng said, "I investigated your boyfriend's company, and I met a marketing manager named Liao Ming there. "

Xu Qian didn't know what to say when she heard this explanation. Indeed, if it weren't for her being followed, Zhang Heng would be free to investigate anyone.

Xu Qian took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "I seem to have a little impression of this person. I saw him when I went to the company. My boyfriend said that he is the backbone of the company. Everything in sales seems to be done by He’s in charge.”

"Yes, if you look at his resume, you will find that he is the perfect employee that every company dreams of."

"Then what?"

"Do you know why Liao Ming works so hard? Because he also has a daughter who was born to him and his ex-wife. Maybe it is because he feels that the divorce has made his daughter lose her mother. Liao Ming has always felt guilty about his daughter. So I try my best to make up for the latter in terms of material life.”

"What do you want to say? Liao Ming's daughter doesn't actually exist?" Xu Qian asked.

"No, his daughter exists. Her daughter is the meaning of Liao Ming's efforts, and the two will meet from time to time. She must exist so that Liao Ming will have the motivation to work crazy." Zhang Heng paused, "But You are right about one thing, there are indeed people who do not exist."

"who?"

"Liao Ming's ex-wife." Zhang Heng said, "Liao Ming came to New Shanghai 0297 with his daughter after the divorce, so there are no friends or relatives in this city who knew him and his ex-wife before."

"Isn't this situation normal? When we first met, I told you that this is a young city. People come here to look for jobs and a better life. Of course, some people hope to start over here."

"Yes, but I asked Liao Ming's daughter's class teacher. Since Liao Ming's daughter transferred to this elementary school a year ago, her mother has not come to visit her, not even once."

"Okay, this is a bit unreasonable, but as far as I know there are indeed some women who have severed contact with their previous families after remarrying." Xu Qian said, "Maybe Liao Ming's ex-wife is that kind of person, leaving behind all the past and welcoming the new. At the beginning, you have to know that women can be very scary when they are cruel."

"Yes, this is the most likely guess. To verify this guess, I later visited someone on the second floor."

"who?"

"Liao Ming has a female subordinate. She has always admired Liao Ming. The two of them have developed some...well, a relationship that goes beyond work."

"Office romance?"

"Absolutely. I looked through their chat history. The female subordinate was willing to change jobs for Liao Ming, and she also promised to treat Liao Ming's daughter as her own. However, Liao Ming was still unwilling to admit this relationship. As a result, She was a little excited and asked Liao Ming if he had contacted his ex-wife again. Liao Ming replied as follows - you know, since that time she came to me and said that she was going to get married again and asked me to treat her as dead. I never bothered her again."

"Doesn't this prove my previous guess?" Xu Qian asked.

"It looks like this, and after the visit, I got more details about the meeting that day, including the time, place, and what happened... Who said that the person who knows you best is not your friend but your Enemy." Zhang Heng said, "With this information, I not only found the cafe where the incident occurred, but also found the owner of the cafe. But the interesting thing is that the owner of the cafe did not remember that Liao Ming and his ex-wife went to his coffee shop. Pavilion, does this sound familiar?"

"But this is normal. There are so many people in the cafe every day, and this matter must have been a long time ago."

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but the meeting between Liao Ming and his ex-wife that day did not go smoothly. During the period, the two had a fierce verbal conflict. Liao Ming's wife made it clear that she would not come to New Shanghai 0297 again, nor would she ever meet with Liao Ming again. After contacting him, he grabbed a steak knife on the table and stabbed Liao Ming. Liao Ming's arm was scratched and he bled a little... This kind of thing is not easy even for a cafe that receives many customers every day. It's common." Zhang Heng said, "Then I tried to find a few waiters who worked in the coffee shop that day, and they didn't have any impression."

Xu Qian was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Do you think Liao Ming's marriage was forged and he was a clone?"

"Unfortunately, according to the current standards for judging human cloning, he is not." Zhang Heng said, "When he took me around the workshop before, I secretly shined an ultraviolet flashlight on the back of his neck. There was no code on it."

Xu Qian's fingers holding the cigarette finally couldn't help but tremble, but she was still unwilling to accept Zhang Heng's so-called second type of clone inference, "Your statement is too crazy. There must be other explanations, and retreat." In ten thousand steps, even if what you say is true, then the second type of clones is no different from normal humans. Why are you telling me these things? As long as I don’t doubt the authenticity of the memory, I can’t be like Are you living like a normal person?"

"I'm afraid you can't live like ordinary people..." Zhang Heng said, "Clones are special production tools, and since they are production tools, production efficiency must be taken into consideration. You have seen how they treat ordinary clones. Yes, once something goes wrong, it must be returned to the factory for calibration. And for clones that cannot be calibrated, you also know what awaits them.

Zhang Heng looked at Xu Qian as he spoke, "Tell me, during the time you and your boyfriend were together, didn't you ever doubt his purpose in approaching you? When you were being followed , did you really not think about his role at all during the surveillance? You don't want me to continue investigating this matter, is it because you subconsciously don't want to accept the results of the investigation? "

Sorry, there is only one update today. Everyone should go to bed early.
