Chapter 634 The Wind Rises

North America.

Houston.

After several transfers, the brainwave hypnosis research team moved from its previous underground research institute to a location near the city of Houston.

The Noah Association is very puzzled by the intelligence leaks in recent years. At the same time, it has also stepped up internal investigations, but it has never found a clear leak channel.

This incident became a thorn in the side of the Noah Society and created a rift within the Noah Society that was difficult to bridge.

Therefore, scientific research projects such as brain wave hypnosis and brain wave reading are also under this pressure. Some of the top leaders of the Noah Society have high hopes and have invested huge manpower and material resources.

Nick, who was having a secret meeting with NASA Administrator George at Space City in Houston, looked serious at this time.

"George, are you really going to resign?"

Faced with this question, George Lawrence nodded helplessly: "Nick, you should understand that this is a previous promise. After all, I, the director, cannot escape the mistakes of Outpost 1."

"But you recommended Williams, I think you should reconsider carefully." Nick reminded him pointedly.

Hearing this, George's eyes showed a trace of confusion: "Nick, did you find something?"

But Nick's next answer was unexpected: "No, there is no big problem with him, he is just too clean."

Too clean?

What's the reason?

Seeing George's confused face, Nick didn't have much explanation, because he didn't have any substantive evidence for this matter, but an intuition derived from many years of espionage career.

In order to verify this intuition, he conducted a comprehensive monitoring investigation on Williams, who was nominated internally, for half a month.

But still nothing came of it.

The main reason why Nick was suspicious of each other was that half a month ago, during his review of Williams and other three NASA administrator candidates, the two had only met twice.

But there was always something weird and wrong about Nick's senses about this person.

The puzzled George asked: "Look, is being clean also a mistake?"

"George, my old friend, do you really think someone is clean? People have desires, and the more clean someone is, the more dangerous they are." Nick replied with a twinkling look.

George, who is not an intelligence officer, spread his hands and said: "This is not a reason for suspicion. I can't tell William that your life is too clean and does not meet NASA's requirements! Please, now you are choosing the Administrator of NASA, not Choose FBI or CIA director."

"..." Nick was hesitant.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Female secretary Anne walked in: "Sir, President Musk is here."

Glancing at his watch, he found that it was already three-thirty in the afternoon. He almost forgot about his appointment with Musk.

Nick also stood up and said goodbye: "I won't interrupt. After you retire next month, we will have an in-depth chat."

"OK."

Nick and George walked out of the office and soon met Musk and his group. Musk, who was smiling, immediately said hello: "Hello! Director Nick, why are you here in Houston when you have time?"

"President Musk should focus on the Falcon launch vehicle!" Nick, who was smiling but not smiling, left without looking back.

Looking at Nick who disappeared around the corner, Musk's eyes were somewhat meaningful, and then he showed a harmless smile and became brothers with George.

the other side.

After going down to the underground garage, Nick got on the off-road vehicle and, under the protection of the motorcade, headed to the secret brainwave research base in the suburbs of Houston.

But before his car arrived, Brooke, the team leader responsible for the security and confidentiality of the base, reported an emergency to Nick.

Half an hour later, Nick led people to the base.

Brooke, who looked embarrassed, didn't know how to explain it, so he could only lead a group of people to the crime scene.

The negative three floors of the base are the rest area for internal personnel. At this time, the room of Andrew, the base's senior researcher, has been sealed off.

Brooke ordered the security personnel to open the door.

There was a person lying on the bed. On his left wrist, there was a scar that was as deep as the bone. There was a large blood stain on the sheets.

On the bedside table on one side were a scalpel, a bottle of painkillers, and a bottle of sleeping pills. Under the medicine bottle, there was a note.

Nick, wearing gloves, picked up the note.

[I'm so tired! This kind of inhumane research seems to never stop, and my hands are stained with the blood of innocent people...]

A suicide note, Nick turned around and asked: "Where is the surveillance?"

"After checking, we found that the person committed suicide between 12 and 13 noon. He also ate with his colleagues in the restaurant of the base at 11 o'clock in the morning. The surveillance was normal all the way." Brooke explained.

suicide? Nick glanced at the body and found that there were indeed no signs of struggle or fighting, and the preliminary autopsy found no other poisons or the like.

The cause of death was excessive blood loss, and he also took a large amount of sleeping pills and painkillers. Everything looked like an ordinary suicide case.

Nick, who said nothing, came to the control room of the base. After checking the monitoring room, he was thinking crazily in his mind.

This incident seemed like an ordinary suicide, but if combined with some of the circumstances he knew, he had to think about it.

On October 24, 2014, Fir Base, Brainwave 106 Laboratory, Dr. Li Baoen committed suicide.

On December 14, 2014, at Fir Base, Brainwave 106 Laboratory, Dr. Alben committed suicide.

On March 8, 2015, senior researcher Collison David committed suicide at the Brain Neuron 122 Laboratory at Baishishan Base.

…

There have been 7 similar suicide cases since last year, and now this is the 8th case, and these cases all have one thing in common, that is, the suicides are all researchers involved in brain-related research, and they are all team members. core researcher.

In addition, Nick also noticed a situation, that is, the suicides of these people were very reasonable, and there was no evidence of reversal.

After watching the surveillance, the familiar smell made Nick's heart become more alert and heavy.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

As a top agent, he has already noticed the problem. How did the other party let these researchers "commit suicide"?

And what is the purpose of doing this? Will Stop Noah develop a brain reading system? Could it be done across the Pacific Ocean?

Questions and speculations emerged in Nick's mind, but he still felt like he couldn't grasp the key.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

He stayed in this secret base for two days, and all the places that should be investigated were fully investigated. All evidence pointed to Andrew's suicide.

This result left Nick with no choice but to temporarily seal the matter and then continue to investigate the matter secretly.

Worried Nick came over in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Watching the convoy leave, Brooke's eyes were empty and a little strange, and then he returned to the base and continued his daily work.

Dr. Killian, who is in charge of technical research, does not seem to feel sad or curious about Andrew's suicide.

After processing an experimental subject, Dr. Killian put the collected experimental data into some complex formulas, and then used the supercomputer to calculate it again.

Looking at the calculation results on the computer page, he couldn't help but smile. Then he inserted some other data to completely mess up the calculation data this time before turning off the computer.
