Chapter 553: Breaking the Net (Please Vote for the Big Chapter)

If there is anyone in the world who can hold back Jess who has fallen into obsession, it is only Jess's wife Tiny.

After his parents died, Jess once fell into a state of paranoia obsessed with investigating the truth about his parents' deaths.

It was in that state that Jace met the old professor who was later killed and started research on genetic medicine.

During that time, the mysterious man approached Jace for the first time, hoping to fund Jace's research.

And that time, the one who finally made Jace stop was Jace's wife Tiny.

After seeing his wife's haggard face, Jess chose to let go and return to his family to prevent the living from being harmed.

After that, he sold all the information to the mysterious man cheaply and withdrew from the center of the whirlpool.

Although he still has not given up investigating the cause of his parents' death, he is no longer obsessed with the indescribable and unknown mysterious knowledge.

After returning to his family, he did live a peaceful and happy life, but this life was soon ruthlessly shattered.

His wife, Tiny, died.

During a speech at a conference, he was attacked by a psychotic gunman and fell into a pool of blood.

After that, the mysterious man found Jace again and invited Jace to participate in the development project of genetic medicine.

In fact, from that time on, Jess suspected that his wife's death was related to the mysterious man.

Even the death of his wife was a threat given to him by the mysterious person.

A death threat of death if he didn't cooperate.

But he has no evidence.

Similarly, while getting along with the mysterious man, Jess also realized that the death of his parents was also related to the mysterious man.

Likewise, he has no evidence for this speculation.

However, the mysterious man once used words that more or less hinted that the deaths of Jace, Jace's parents and wife were related to him.

However, this suggestion is actually a provocation and does not break the actual boundaries, but it has been affecting Jace's spirit, making his already unstable mental state further fall into madness.

Among the various hints, the mysterious man added deeper psychological hints, suggesting that the death of Jace's parents and the death of his wife were all related to his 'upper', and that he was just the microphone through which the message was conveyed.

The mysterious man used this to establish Jace's hatred for his "higher people", and used this hatred to establish a goal for Jace to reach higher levels by developing genetic potions, driving Jace to work for him.

Obviously, what the mysterious man did was to cultivate a blazing flame of hatred, and use this flame to help him open up obstacles on the way to research genetic medicines.

This is very dangerous, but the mysterious man is very confident. He is confident that this flame was cultivated by him, is completely under his control, and will eventually be extinguished by him.

Until the flames got out of control at the final moment.

Regardless of the identity of the person involved, from the perspective of a bystander, the mysterious man's control over Jace was actually perfect.

Jace had not escaped his layout from the beginning. The people around him who could be trusted either died unexpectedly or were the informants of the mysterious man.

Looking back at the overall situation now, perhaps when the mysterious man directed Jace's hatred to his 'upper', he had already laid out a plan to kill Jace.

This itself is a dead end. From the moment Jace comes into contact with the mysterious man, a web called death has been woven.

This net was so strong that even Jace had no chance to struggle before the final outcome came.

Of course, the appearance of He Ao tore open this net and broke this seemingly solid situation.

But until this moment, the crazy whispering still echoed in He Ao's ears.

This is a trap buried in Jace's secret medicine. He took the problematic secret medicine from a mysterious man without fully mastering the talent sequence, which caused Jace's mental state to be on the verge of madness.

This madness did not calm down as He Ao was promoted to C-level. Instead, as he entered deeper into the extraordinary world, these crazy thoughts combined with the babble that could be heard by the C-level itself, greatly strengthening the mental influence of the babble. .

If it weren't for He Ao's mental resistance, he would have gone crazy when he was promoted to C-level.

This is also the 'thunder' buried in Jace's body by the mysterious man. With this crazy state, even if Jace is promoted to C level, he will go crazy and turn into a twisted monster.

The future planned by the mysterious man for Jace is a dead end.

Of course, as He Ao was promoted to C-level and controlled the crazy murmurings in his body, the fatal arrangements left by the mysterious man had basically become ineffective.

And He Ao, who had completely broken the net, could finally stand outside this big net at this moment and see the appearance of the people behind the weaving of this net.

The first key question is, are the deaths of Jace's parents and wife related to the mysterious man?

Excluding those fantasies that Jace had when he was in a state of madness, after roughly reviewing the scenes in his memory, He Ao believed that it was related to the mysterious man.

One obvious piece of evidence is that many of the words the mysterious man hinted at Jace hit the mark.

For example, there are hints about some details of the chemical plant explosion of Jess's father, and some hints of the time when Jess's father went to the chemical plant. Also, for example, the topic of Jess's wife's last speech, her state during the speech, and even the psychotic gunman's behavior. Some appearance details.

Of course, this information was expressed through metaphors and hints. The mysterious man never said this information himself, but stimulated Jace through similar things and key words.

Excluding the mental oppression part, all this information revealed one thing - the mysterious man was very familiar with the death of Jace's parents and wife, so familiar that it seemed as if he had arranged it himself.

To be able to do this,

Or, the mysterious person studied the case information of Jace's parents and wife in detail and collected a large amount of relevant information.

Either, the mysterious man himself is the murderer, or one of the masterminds behind it.

He Ao prefers the second guess.

The reason is also very simple. Jace is a pure good man. After the death of his wife, it is actually very simple to ask him to help research genetic medicine. Help him investigate the cause of death of his parents and wife, and establish a common enemy.

Then Jess will be happy to help and will be very grateful. He and the old professor actually have this kind of cooperative relationship, but the old professor is not willing to let him get involved.

There is basically no risk in doing this, and Jace will work hard.

The mysterious man gave up this lower-risk approach and instead chose the more difficult and dangerous method of cultivating the fire of hatred. This proved that there was an irreconcilable conflict between him and Jace. This conflict was so acute that even Once the bad guy Jace discovers the truth, he won't be able to cooperate with him.

Then the only contradiction is that he is really the murderer or the person behind the murder of Jace's parents and wife.

Of course, the mysterious man can actually pretend to be a good person and trick Jace into working for him. However, judging from Jace’s memories of getting along with the mysterious man, the mysterious man does not seem to be a person who likes to pretend. Instead of pretending to be a good person, he will face the risk of being discovered at any time. Risk, Mysterious Man prefers to be pure evil.

Of course, He Ao was not entirely groundless speculation. The information she obtained from Saran, a student working at the Huiermei Medical Foundation, allowed her to complete some puzzle pieces of reasoning.

Saran once mentioned that about six years ago, the Huilmei Medical Foundation launched a secret project related to biological genes.

This point in time happened to be the point in time when Jace sold the information related to his genetic medicine to the mysterious person.

And now He Ao has basically determined that there is some connection between the mysterious person and the Huiermei Medical Foundation.

So the facts at that time may be like this. After Jace sold his research information to the mysterious man, the mysterious man mobilized the resources of the Huilmei Medical Foundation and set up a secret laboratory, trying to develop a drug on his own. Genetic medicine.

Saran said that this secret project lasted for two or three years, which also corresponded to the period when the mysterious man did not find Jace, and Jace lived a peaceful and stable period.

And the ultimate twist was that the secret project failed.

The mysterious man realized that he could not develop genetic medicine with his own power, so he chose to come back and cooperate with Jace.

But Jace refused to cooperate from the very beginning and chose to return to his family. It was impossible to directly ask Jace to come out.

So is there any way to make Jace, who has returned to his family, come out again?

Quite simply, leave him without a family.

The intelligence from Saran confirmed that the mysterious man had a strong motive for killing Jace's wife.

He tried to research genetic medicine on his own, but failed, so he desperately needed Jace to help him research it.

To get Jace to help, he had to get rid of the 'obstacles' that stood in front of Jace and keep him away from danger.

That is the only thing Jess cares about in this world, his wife 'Tini'.

And this is indeed the case. After Tini's death, Jace, who had no worries, was easily 'invited' into the project by the mysterious man's means.

Combined with the various hints that the mysterious man gave Jace during the genetic potion research, although there are no clear clues about the murder of Jace's parents, he has almost confirmed the murder of Jace's wife Tini.

Of course, all this is limited to He Ao's guess, but the guess that already has an obvious logical chain can be easily verified.

The person who killed Tini was a psychopathic gunman. The reason for choosing psychiatry is simple. The behavior of a psychopath is unpredictable, and it is reasonable to kill someone on the street, so this incident can easily be characterized as an accident.

In the end, this incident was indeed determined in this way, and the psychotic gunman was arrested.

However, according to the information Jess later received, the psychotic shooter was not sentenced, but was sent to a mental hospital for treatment.

But the psychotic shooter was not a typical killer.

In the normal underground black market, it is difficult to find a person who is both a psychopath and a killer.

Although most killers may be mentally ill themselves, they generally will not admit that they are mentally ill, and will only say that they just think slightly differently from other people.

Of course, it is easy for the consortium to make a person mentally ill, but after this person is mentally ill, he is completely exposed and can no longer perform other tasks. He may even be prepared to commit suicide by being shot eight times in the back.

If this incident happened in other cities, then this mentally ill person would most likely be a 'professional' supported by the consortium.

But the place where this happened was Witland, where there was a special class, the ‘middlemen’.

People in the underground world trust intermediaries more than consortiums, and consortia themselves rarely directly seek cooperation from people in the underground world instead of raising black gloves.

In other words, this psychotic killer most likely did not come from the consortium, but was introduced by a middleman.

In Wetland, there is only one middleman who has so many resources and can gain the trust of the mysterious man.

That was Thorne in front of He Ao.

Therefore, He Ao judged that Thorne was an insider of Tini's murder case, and was even one of the murderers involved in Tini's murder.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the judgment is wrong, He Ao can also follow this line to find other clues.

However, he would not show uncertainty in front of Thorne. He stared at Thorne and seemed to already know most of the secrets behind it, just waiting for Thorne to speak.

‘Fraud’ is one of the fastest ways to obtain information.

Of course, this requires some acting skills.

At this moment, Thorne was also looking at He Ao.

When He Ao mentioned Tini, he felt excited.

He looked at He Ao and speculated in his mind that He Ao seemed to have mastered this key information.

He Ao looked at Thorne's movements and knew that he had probably guessed it right. At this moment, his expression remained unchanged and he said calmly, "I didn't just know these things. I'm already angry. You can say whatever you want Know the information.”

The subtext of this sentence is that he already knew about Tini before chatting with Thorne, but he had just expressed his opinion to Thorne that he could let Thorne leave, and his promise was always valid.

This is in Anthorne's heart.

The reason why Thorne didn't say anything about Tini was that he knew that according to Jace's character, if he really said anything about Tini, it would most likely make Jace murderous.

The rabbit bites people when it is anxious, not to mention Jace who is now growing up.

Thorne stared at He Ao, not knowing whether what He Ao said was true or not. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to leave with my subordinates. You can't attack me when we leave."

"I can persuade Haixi not to attack you. You can leave in groups, not together."

He Ao said slowly.

Thorne breathed a sigh of relief as he watched He Ao bargain.

This at least proves that He Ao does not act on impulse and is considering interests.

Of course, this may also be a trap deliberately set by He Ao to make him relax his vigilance.

But after thinking about it, he thought it was unlikely.

No matter how fast 'Jace' grows up, he can't be in a state of being happy and angry so quickly.

After all, he has been planning for 'Jace' for such a long time, and he still has a relatively deep understanding of Jace.

In the end, he chose to trust his own experience and slowly explained, "It was not my idea to kill your wife."

"Um."

He Ao put his hands behind his back, his face expressionless, and motioned for Thorn to continue.

The palms of his hands behind his back were clenched tightly into fists, and veins popped out on his arms.

"I'm just a middleman," Thorne looked at He Ao's face and continued, "The middleman's duty is to introduce qualified executors to the client.

"That mysterious man came to me that day. I originally thought he was asking for your latest living materials as before, but that time, his request was different. He wanted me to find someone who was tight-lipped, but was very short of money. People who are willing to die for money.

“This kind of standard death warrior is not easy to find, but the commission he gave was very high, and it took me a lot of time to find someone who met his standards.

"Then the mysterious man gave that person a task through me, pretending to be mentally ill to attack the speech site. The mysterious man promised that person that as long as the person pretended to be mentally ill and did not leak any information, he would have a way to exonerate that person.

"You will know what happened after that. That man attacked your wife's speech site and killed your wife. Later, the mysterious man really helped him exonerate him."

He Ao glanced at Thorne and fell into a brief silence.

Thorne's narration actually greatly reduced his own influence, making it seem as if the mysterious man directly ordered the dead man to do things. However, it can still be clearly seen from his words that the mysterious man did not directly meet the dead man. It was through his message.

this means. Thorne himself was actually deeply involved in this matter. He also said that the commission given by the mysterious man was very high.

Thorne stared at the silent He Ao, with a little sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Is that dead soldier still alive?"

After a brief silence, He Ao asked softly.

At that time, Jess did not know which mental hospital the deceased had been sent to. The court's reply to him was to protect the privacy of the deceased and prevent him from taking drastic actions.

"Still alive," Thorne said quickly, "He is still being held in Vic Mental Hospital."

"Vic Asylum..."

He Ao wrote down the name, then he raised his head and looked at Thorne, "Now let's talk about the mysterious man. What do you know about him?"
