Chapter 136 Project Β Research Base
Use secrets to cover up secrets.
This was the speculation put forward by Su Mo after Nono successfully tried to PUA his father for the second time.
But later, after discovering that her father was getting more and more impatient and discovering that the actual reason behind it was that the Gattuso family's test was approaching, Xia Mi temporarily forgot about her original deduction.
But now, listening to Su Mo, this speculation has not been overturned?
"That's right."
Su Mo nodded slightly.
"Although Nono's father compromised with her because of the pressure from the Gattuso family, but this does not mean that his previous inference was wrong. He did not have much choice and had to trust Nono, but the existence of the exposed serum was very harmful to him. It is indeed a proactive option, which can avoid greater secret exposure, and his approach is indeed very effective, isn't it?"
After hearing Su Mo's rhetorical question, Xia Mi thought for a moment and found that it was indeed the case.
Ever since Nono's father agreed to give the serum, her focus has been on the serum.
Even this invasion of Chen's Mansion was purely for the serum.
Invisibly, she had forgotten the original doubt.
——Why, the head of the Chen family could calmly choose to expose the Chen Building Research Center to Nono and give her a serum sample, but he reacted so much to Nono's questioning of her brother?
If Su Mo hadn't reminded her, her attention would have shifted from this point to the serum.
And this deviation is natural. Compared with that trivial doubt, something with more benefits such as serum is naturally more eye-catching.
But now, after hearing Su Mo mention this, even Xia Mi finally reacted.
"You mean, what the rich woman's father wants to hide is Project Beta?"
If there is anything more important than the research results of dragon serum, it must be the fruit tree that has produced so many results.
If the α project is compared to a seed, the β project is the tree that grows from the seeds, and the serums Su Mo takes are the fruits produced on the tree.
The reason why the head of the Chen family was willing to give the dragon serum to Nono was to use the fruit to confuse her eyes so that she could not see clearly the big tree under the fruit.
"This is the current guess."
Su Mo nodded.
"In other words, if we want to investigate Project Beta, we only need to investigate the rich woman's brother?"
Xia Mi immediately said excitedly.
"Can you find Nono's brother?"
Su Mo asked rhetorically.
"I can't seem to find it."
Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
According to Nono, his brother has not been seen since that day.
If even Nono couldn't figure out her brother's whereabouts, they would be even more confused.
After all, their organization wants money but no money, no people, no one.
It is completely impossible to have artificial intelligence to provide various intelligence facilities like Kassel Academy. Even if she knew her brother's name, she would not be able to find him.
"In this case, isn't the clue broken again?"
The girl sighed, feeling a little headache.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Su Mo shook his head, remembered something, and asked Xia Mi.
"I remember I raised a question before. If Nono's brother was really deeply involved in the Dragon Serum Project, why was he sent to other cities?"
After hearing Su Mo's question, Xia Mi immediately recalled the content of the previous conversation and said.
"This is the question you asked the rich woman. The rich woman's answer is because the Chen family has more than one research center."
"Well, this is the inference when the conditions were insufficient before."
Su Mo nodded.
"But now we know that the research center in Chen's Building is the place where the results are most concentrated among all the research centers in the Chen family."
"As a person who has been trained to be very loyal since childhood, Nono's brother must be an excellent tool for his father. This can be seen from Nono saying that he is now the most favored child."
"And since it is such a useful tool, why is it not placed in such an important Chen's Building, but sent to other places?"
The same question, asked again under different conditions, often yields completely different answers.
Even Xia Mi, who doesn't like to use his brain very much these days, realized something after hearing Su Mo ask this question.
Her breath hitched slightly, and then she said.
"Unless that place is more important than Chen's Mansion, and the children he personally trained are more needed to take control of the situation!"
Good tools naturally need to be placed in the right place.
And where else could there be a more important place than the Chan Building Research Center?
Apart from the vaguely stated alpha project, which I still don’t know what it is, there is only one other one left.
"In other words, the place where her brother worked before was most likely the location where Project Beta was launched! He was not sent out, but was assigned a more secretive and important job by his father!"
Thinking of this, Xia Mi immediately became excited.
If this is the case, you don't even need the current news about Brother Nono. You only need to know where he came back from to find the specific location of Project Beta!
Just when she was excited and wanted to share this discovery with Su Mo, she found that the other party was looking at her with a pleased expression, with an expression like "a child can be taught".
Damn it! So this guy has actually reasoned it out a long time ago, and the guidance just now was just to tease himself?
Realizing this, the girl's face darkened and she kicked the back of Su Mo's chair.
"You guys, why do you just say no when you see it? Why do you have to waste my expression! Is it fun?"
"I just think you haven't used your brain for too long and need to exercise, otherwise you will be in trouble if you become stupid in the future."
Su Mo felt the chair shaking slightly, but Su Mo didn't care.
"So, now that you have reasoned to this point, the rest of the matter is naturally very simple. We just need to wait for Nono to resume communication after confirming that it is safe, and we can just ask her directly."
"It's really simple."
Hearing Su Mo's statement, Xia Mi nodded in agreement, then kicked the chair again, humming dissatisfied.
"But what do you mean you may become stupid in the future? I won't become stupid even if you become stupid!"
"Are all fools blindly confident like you?"
"You are the fool. Let me ask you, do you know the twelve uses of dragon blood?"
"what is that?"
"Hmph~ I'll tell you if I call Teacher Xia Mi."
A proud smile appeared on the girl's face, and she stared at Su Mo with cunning eyes like a cat. Today, she let this disrespectful family member know her erudition and talent, and completely fell in love with her bohemian dress. under.
"Well……"
Just when Su Mo felt very curious and was considering whether to lower his head and ask her for advice, the cell phone rang suddenly.
"who is it?"
Although Xia Mi felt very sorry, he immediately put down what he had just done and came over with great care.
"Nono."
Su Mo raised his phone and showed his number.
"Say the rich woman is here."
After seeing that it was Nono, Xia Mi had no reaction at first. After all, according to speculation, Nono should have been out of the sensitive period by now.
But soon, as if he suddenly remembered something, Xia Mi suddenly rolled over to the bedside table, picked up his mobile phone, and rummaged around for something in it.
Su Mo probably guessed what Xia Mi was busy with, so he answered the phone directly without keeping Nono waiting.
After a few pleasantries, Nono, who had been holding back his doubts for two days, went straight to the topic.
"Senior Su Mo, can I take the liberty to ask, was the invasion of Chen's Building the work of the organization?"
"Yes."
Su Mo nodded and admitted, then asked.
"How are you doing there? You shouldn't be suspected, right?"
Hearing what Su Mo said, Nuonuo felt a surge of heat in his heart.
Sure enough, the reason why the organization deliberately didn't tell her was entirely for the sake of her safety.
Fortunately, I had left some room during the profiling and did not say anything to death, and later made up for my mistakes. Otherwise, I would have unknowingly done a disservice, discredited the organization, and would have been shameless to call Senior Su Mo again. .
"Senior, don't worry, no."
"That's good."
Su Mo nodded and felt more at ease after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the organization's money bag.
Then, without waiting for Nono to ask, he took the initiative to speak.
"In addition to reporting safety this time, you should also have some questions to ask, right?"
"Yes, I just know if it's convenient to ask."
Nono was a little uneasy.
She knew that she was only a temporary member, and interfering with too many secrets would appear to be ulterior motives. The questions she was worried about involved the safety of the organization and she had to ask.
Hearing what Nuonuo said, Su Mo shook his head.
"From a principle point of view, information that is too confidential should not be disclosed to unrelated people."
"Is this, like this?"
Nuonuo lowered his head unwillingly.
At this moment, Su Mo's voice changed.
"But as the exclusive intelligence officer of this operation, you are not irrelevant, so except for matters related to the executor, you can ask for most information. In fact, in order to better protect your safety as an undercover agent, Even if you don’t ask, I still have some information that I must let you know.”
With all the twists and turns, Nono's mentality fell.
Before, she thought the organization didn't trust her enough, so she refused. Unexpectedly, the organization cared about her far more than she thought.
For a time, Nono's loyalty increased rapidly again.
It was clear that Su Mo used very simple techniques, but in Nuonuo's eyes, the organization was much warmer than her family.
"Is there any information I need to know?"
Hearing this, Nono couldn't help but be curious.
"Um."
Su Mo nodded, glanced at Xia Mi who was still lying on the bed looking for photos, and then said.
"But we can discuss this later. Do you have any problems here?"
"have!"
Nono nodded immediately and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.
"I swear on my life, I have no intention of testing the organization! But I still want to ask, is the true identity of our organization, Cassell Academy or the Secret Party?"
"no!"
Su Mo immediately rejected it.
The reason why he refused so quickly was not because he didn't want Cassel College to take the blame, but because Nono was going to Cassel College to study soon, and it would be easy to expose him if he put on a vest at this time.
"That's it, that's good!"
Hearing Su Mo's categorical denial, Nono immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the father's investigation direction was completely wrong, and he did not cause any losses to the organization.
"What do you mean, why do you ask this suddenly?"
Su Mo wondered when he heard Nuonuo's voice of relief.
"Is such that……"
Nono immediately told how he was taken by his father to profile the murderer.
"I see. The last suspect he targeted was Cassel College. Are you just asking about this because you are worried about the organization?"
After listening to Nono's words, Su Mo suddenly realized.
It seemed that his inducement was successful.
No matter what, now that he has diverted the trouble away, Nono's father will probably set his sights on Kassel College for the time being, and he probably won't think that they, the little shrimps, are responsible.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Let our own people investigate our own people. The head of the Chen family is also a talented person!"
Hearing this, Nono couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"After all, the organization's actions are too clean and tidy. Without profiling, there really won't be any clues just based on the traces left behind."
It's not so much that there are no clues as it is that most of the clues are covered by traces of explosions and battles, so that not much can be found.
In this case, it is only natural that he would rely on her as a master profiler.
"Speaking of clues, the organization did obtain a lot of top-secret information inside Chen's Building, and there was also a lot of content related to the serum."
Quietly, Su Mo introduced the topic.
"Top secret information? Can this be disclosed?"
As an insignificant temporary member, Nono was worried that he was not high enough to hear these secrets.
"Didn't I say it before? As a relevant person, you have the right to know this information. You can't keep your own people in the dark, right?"
Su Mo said this.
Of course, that's only a secondary reason.
The main reason is that revealing this information requires Nono's assistance, so she had to be told.
"yes!"
Hearing what Su Mo said, Nono was touched by the warmth of the organization again.
"To put it simply, there is such a plan, involving various development directions of serum..."
Su Mo quickly told the story of the Beta Project and the previous deductions he and Xia Mi had made. By the way, he also explained the current serum development directions of Chen's Building.
"Sure enough, that guy didn't even think about fulfilling the contract!"
After hearing Su Mo say that there was no healing direction in these serums, Nono clenched his fists but looked unsurprised.
She had known for a long time that her father was unreliable, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't even show off, and actually didn't do any research at all.
However, thinking about their current relationship, she no longer felt angry.
Without expectations, there would be no disappointments. She had long since lost expectations for her father.
After ignoring this trivial matter, her attention immediately focused on the β plan that Su Mo focused on.
"In other words, what the organization plans to investigate next is the research base of Project Beta?"
